By the time Porsche launched the SC in preparation for the 1978 model year, the 911 was supposed to be soon replaced by the vastly different 928. However, sales held up far better than expected and the model won a last minute reprieve - a decision enthusiasts the world over have celebrated ever since. The newcomer incorporated the same luxury features as its 2.7 Carrera forbear, but featured a crankcase of aluminium and stronger crankshaft, while the capacity had risen to 2994cc. The unit was fed by Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and drove through the 915 series five-speed gearbox. Production of the SC ran until 1983. A total of 57,135 SCs were manufactured, 21,548 of which had the optional Targa body.

The vendor advises this well-presented RHD example in original black with grey cloth interior has been professionally updated with later 964 bumpers, lights and 5-spoke wheels creating the appearance of a later model. Said to possess and underside in "very good" condition and to be "driving well" it has covered some 141,000 miles. Offered with Swansea V5 document, at 40 years young it will shortly be exempt from MOT and road tax.
