1971 Porsche 917/10 for Sale in Germany

This 1971 Porsche 917/10 for sale in Germany is a 917/10 Spyder, the open Can-Am version of Porsche's greatest racing car, built for Jo Siffert and campaigned by him in North America before a long and successful career in Willi Kauhsen's hands.

This used Porsche 917/10 is finished in Red. Its petrol engine produces 630 hp and is paired with a manual transmission. The open spyder body replaces the 917's coupé roof with a low, wide shell, a full-width rear wing and a flat, boxed nose drawn for the unlimited Can-Am rules rather than for Le Mans.

The 917/10 is the bridge between the endurance 917 and the turbocharged 917/30 that ended the Can-Am series, and the early naturally aspirated cars are rarer than the turbos. It stands at the summit of Porsche collecting, and a works-built chassis delivered to a Grand Prix driver with a fully known history is as important as any 917 that can be bought.

The dealer highlights One of two 917/10s with naturally aspirated engines built in the summer of 1971, Successful racing history and Delivered to and driven by Jo Siffert.

FAQ

This Porsche 917/10 in the European market

Can this Porsche be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Pleidelsheim, Germany. 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.

Who is selling this Porsche 917/10, and how does a purchase work?

Mechatronik GmbH, a professional dealer in Pleidelsheim, Germany. 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 917/10 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Pleidelsheim, Germany, 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: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Porsche 917/10 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Mechatronik GmbH before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Porsche market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 917/10, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
