Vehicle Description
Manufactured between 1965 and 1969, the Porsche 912 was very much
the entry level Porsche sports car. Although, for some time,
considered the poorer relation to the 911, the 912 is a serious
sports car in its own right. With aerodynamic lines, low weight and
an efficient engine, the 912 demonstrated good performance, nimble
handling and economy, resulting in initial production cars
outselling the 911. The 912 won Car and Driver's 1967 'Readers
Choice' Poll for its class, a popular choice for motorsport teams
and a rally prepared 912 won its class in the 1967 European Rally
Championship. This Porsche 912 is in extremely good order
throughout and is offered in the period colour combination of olive
over black trim befitting the era of production. It was originally
a European market car produced in Stuttgart, Germany, as certified
by the Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche Cars, North
America. Believed to have been exported to the United States in the
1970's, this car has clearly benefitted from years of meticulous
care and maintenance judging by the folder full of history and
receipts. In 1998, BGC 426G was imported to the UK and the history
file continues to track the maintenance record through to 2008 when
the car was restored to its current state. Since then, the car has
been kept predominantly in storage as part of a collection. The
trim and Targa roof are in very good condition complementing the
excellent bodywork and it was waxoiled in 2013. It benefits from a
service less than 2,000 miles ago with recent significant
expenditure with Revival Cars and has an MoT test certificate valid
until June 2018 with no advisories. With rising values for Porsche
912's, this gem of a car is certainly a contender for one to have
and to hold on to. � For sale by auction on Saturday 23 September
