1971 Porsche 911 S 2.4 for Sale in the United Kingdom

The 911 S 2.4 headed Porsche's range for the 1972 model year, when the flat-six grew to 2,341 cc and the stronger Type 915 gearbox arrived. With mechanical injection the S made 190 PS, more than any series 911 before it. For that year alone the oil tank sat ahead of the right rear wheel behind its own flap, the Ölklappe.

Chassis 300271 was completed in right-hand drive on 27 October 1971 in Signal Yellow with black leatherette and corduroy, and delivered on 26 November as HMY 4K, the plate it still wears. It reached St Moritz by Christmas Day, later spent over twenty years dry in County Kerry, and came out an unrestored barn find with its original engine.

Back in Britain since 2011, it had one keeper for fourteen years while Autofarm refurbished and maintained it, keeping original parts, with invoices of about £162,000. Two history files date from 1971, and the car has featured on the covers of Total 911, GT Porsche and Ultimate Porsche.

This 1971 Porsche 911 S 2.4 is a used car showing 152,019 km. It is powered by a 2,341 cm³ petrol engine rated at 190 PS (140 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Signal Yellow with a Black interior.

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Porsche 911 S 2.4 in the European market

Is this Porsche priced above or below the European market?

At £265,000, about €309,146, it sits above the median of €179,925 for the 488 Porsche advertised in Europe in 2026. 81% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Porsche be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Porsche 911 S 2.4 cost new?

Porsche's German list price for the 911 S 2.4 coupé of the 1972 model year was DM 30,680, or €15,686 at the fixed conversion rate, before options. The dealer asks £265,000, about €309,146 at the LUSSO indicative rate of 28 August 2026: a nominal difference of +1871%, with no adjustment for inflation, and the seller does not state the VAT basis. A list price is the launch price of the car without options and says nothing about what this one is worth today.

How does the mileage of this Porsche compare?

152,019 km recorded, against a median of 14,257 km across the Porsche advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Porsche are priced closest to this one?

a 2023 car in Germany at €308,900, and a 2024 car in Belgium at €309,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Porsche 911 S 2.4, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley Jnr, a professional dealer in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 911 S 2.4 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hook Norton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
