Porsche Classic has restored a decrepit 1972 911 S/T to its former glory

A dilapidated Porsche 911 2.5 S/T has been returned to its former glory by the German carmaker's classic division in a lengthy two-year restoration.

The 911, which is now unrecognisable from the rusted and broken car that was discovered by an American collector a few years ago, is set to be displayed by Porsche at the upcoming Techno Classica show in Essen, Germany.
