GROSSE POINT, Mich. (September 24, 2024) – Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is delighted to present the Porsche 911 SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie,” a veritable “missing link” in any distinguished collection of Porsche Carrera RS models. Set to headline Broad Arrow’s inaugural Chattanooga Auction on October 12 in partnership with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, the 1984 Porsche 911 SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie”, chassis no. 021 (Est. $2,600,000 – $3,500,000), features in the video hosted by Broad Arrow Car Specialist, Ambassador, and Porsche expert, Ray Shaffer.

Much like the vaunted 911 R, a mere 21 examples of the 1984 Porsche Type 954 —sometimes known as the 911 Evolutionsserie and best known as the 911 SC RS—were produced by Porsche Motorsport for FIA Group B World Rally competition. The project took a standard 911 SC and turned it into a rally star via significant weight reduction, power from the type “930/18” 3.0-liter flat-six engine pushed through the race-spec five-speed gearbox, lightweight internal competition components, and a free-flowing dual race exhaust. The car on offer, chassis no. 021, was originally delivered to the van Dijk Racing Team of the Netherlands in February 1984, who campaigned the car on its sole competition outing at the 1984 Tour de Corse, where it finished 14th as the highest placed Porsche. Tycho van Dijk held on to the car following its brief racing career, maintaining the SC RS in a remarkably unaltered state until 2004, when it was sold to the current owner, a renowned Porsche collector, with a mere 4,979 original kilometers.

Extensively documented, chassis no. 021 is presented at Broad Arrow’s Chattanooga Auction complete with its original matching-numbers engine and transmission, original interior, and original components. Offered with a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate, a digital copy of its factory build sheet, a factory SC RS technical manual, 1984 Tour de Corse route books, and a Jürgen Barth report, this two-owner, dual-use Group B rally car offers its next caretaker a host of opportunities on both road and track.

“The 1984 911 SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie” is potentially the missing piece of a collection that you didn’t know was missing. Among the rarest of RS variants, the SC RS appeals not only to Group B Rally enthusiasts but also to next-gen collectors assembling the ultimate group of Carrera RennSport models.”

– Ray Shaffer, Broad Arrow Car Specialist, Ambassador, and Porsche expert

Collectors relish the opportunity to own the first or last example in a limited production run, and chassis no. 021 is the final SC RS produced. As a homologated car, the SC RS is a road-legal race car, and this particular example offers the best of both worlds with significant, yet limited periodcompetition history, having been sparingly used ever since. It is presented in wonderful, low-mileage, matching numbers condition, two-owners from new, extensively documented, and a rare sight at auction. For the ultimate Porsche collector, the time is now.”

Joining the SC RS at the Chattanooga Auction, offered from the same renowned Porsche collection, are two additional rarities: a 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S “Factory One-Off” Cabriolet and a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster “Full Turbo Look”. The 911 Carrera S “Factory One-Off” Cabriolet is a true ‘one-of-one’ as the singular Turbo-bodied, rear wheel drive 993-generation Carrera S Cabriolet produced by Porsche. Ordered by a Porsche VIP and fully conceived by Porsche Exclusive (known today as Porsche Sonderwunsch), the Cabriolet is finished in classic Guards Red with “Z-Code” Flamenco Red carpeting and highly optioned with a full leather interior, heated Nappa leather seats, automatic air conditioning, and more. Offered with just 16,436 kilometers, the matching-numbers car is expected to bring in excess of $400,000.
