History of the Porsche 911 2.4S
For the 1969 model year, the 911S made the move to mechanical fuel injection (replacing the Weber carburettors and bringing an extra 10bhp) but it was the C & D Series cars of 1970 and 1971 where the ‘S’ got its first major overhaul.
The wheelbase was lengthened 2.3 inches to improve stability while the engine was bored out to 2.2 litres, providing a rev-happy engine that produced an impressive 180bhp.
1972 would be the Porsche 911S’s final year as the range topper and, as part of the E Series overhaul, the capacity was again increased, this time to 2.4 litres (via an increased stroke). The 190bhp 2.4S would continue into 1973, although it had been usurped by the new 2.7 Carrera RS.

The second owner was the keeper of the car for almost 37 Years and was a keen sailer, so during that long period of ownership the car had limited use.
