Designed and built by Porsche Central Operations in 2014, the car was completed as a one-off project to compete amongst all other Porsche centres as part of their "50 years of the 911" restoration competition.The brief from Porsche Central Operations in Reading was to create a no expense spared car, that not only utilised all of their resources but demonstrated their restoration ability to a global audience. “As part of the project the workshop doors will be left open to enable staff and customers to engage with the Project.”Chassis number 9117301478 was built on 5th January 1977 and first registered on 7th February that year. It was fitted with a 2.7 litre engine developing 167hp and was enjoyed by 5 previous owners. In 2006, the car was taken off the road and stored in largely original condition by the Porsche Centre Guildford.
