The exhaust is real on this car. It's one of 4 RHD 911TR's from a total of around 20 something. This car raced at Le Mans, and raced and rallied everywhere until a full resto a few years ago. That's a 906 spec engine too.Originally posted by irsa76 View PostComment

1968 Porsche 911 T/R
'The ex-Paddy McNally - Right hand Drive’
Chassis #118 2 0884
Following the highly-modified, experimental 911 R of 1967, which had not been homologated and had therefore been categorised by the FIA in the GTP class, for the 1968 season, the factory chose to homologate the 911 for Group 3 racing and GT class up to 2000cc. Considering the 911T body shell weighed 52kgs less than the 911S, the 911 T/R became the first homologated race version of the 911 available from the factory to Porsche racing customers.
The T/R was effectively a light-weight body-shell with minimal interior, no sound deadening and underseal-delete, which could be ordered with various different combinations of racing parts and accessories which were optional from Porsche. Two engines were available, the least expensive option being the standard 160hp unit from the 911 S, although this could also be uprated by ordering the optional Rally-Kit, which featured larger carburettors, larger inlet manifolds, Carrera 6 camshafts, pistons and titanium con- rods, etc., all of which raised the performance to circa 180hp. Alternatively, the 906 Carrera 6 engine could be specified, which increased horse-power further still to 210bhp. Other racing accessories included: internal roll bar, 100-litre tank, shorter “Nürburgring” gear ratios with limited-slip differential and a competition, sports exhaust system.
A total of just twenty-eight 911 T/Rs were produced during 1967-68, only four of which were right-hand drive versions.
Ordered new by Paddy McNally in November 1967, finished in Silver Metallic and equipped with factory race options: Rally Kit, Roll bar, Limited-slip diff., 100 ltr. Fuel-tank and a 2.0-litre Type 901/02 engine which was then immediately further upgraded by Chris Maltin to Carrera 6 twin-plug specification for McNally and Digby Martland to race in the 1968/69 Winter Springbok Series, which they went on to win.
In 1969 the car was sold to Paul Vestey, who raced with Peter Sadler at Villa Real, Mugello 500kms and at Montlhéry in the Paris 1000kms.
At the 1970 Targa Florio, Alain de Cadenet and Mike Ogier finished 2nd in class, before going on to race with Ogier and David Wier at the 1970 Mugello 500kms, Villa Real and Nürburgring 1000kms.
It was entered for Le Mans in 1971 by Paul Watson Racing for John Chatham, Bill Tuckett and Mike Coombe, by which time it was fitted with a 2.2-litre engine and was listed as a 911 S. Although it actually qualified 51st fastest, an accident whilst avoiding Siffert’s 917 during practice meant they did not qualify.
In 1971, Sir Anthony Bamford acquired the car and first UK-registered it as: YBF 847J.
During the 1980s the car diversified into rallying in the hands of Brian Powley and was re-registered 2 BRX. The Powley brothers went on to record multiple successes and class-wins at the Circuit of Ireland, Donegal, Ulster and many other rallies.
In 2012, Maxted-Page & Prill Ltd were commissioned to carry out a bare metal restoration of the car. It has since been kept in a prominent collection and has recently returned from loan to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart where it has been on display during 2014.The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want, on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. - Randy Komisar.Comment
