To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€40,000 - €50,000
- Delivered new to Portugal
- Retains its original engine
- Equipped with the desirable five-speed manual gearbox
Built in the summer of 1966, this Porsche 912 was originally
earmarked for the Portuguese market and delivered new to its first
owner in Lisbon. It was finished in black paint over a brown
leather interior. Furthermore, the car was outfitted with the rare
and desirable five-speed manual gearbox, a Blaupunkt Frankfurt
radio with loudspeaker and antenna, and a sunroof, amongst other
options. Today the car is finished in black paint with a beige
interior and still retains its original engine. The odometer shows
2,660 km, presumably since the completion of the car's most recent
restoration.
Offered by Porsche as their entry-level alternative to the 911,
although the 912 was fitted with the 356's 1.6-litre four-cylinder
engine, its reduced weight still made the car a thrill to drive.
With just over 30,000 examples produced between 1965 and 1968, it
is a much rarer car when compared to the 911 and is a must-have for
any Porsche enthusiast.
- Entregue novo em Portugal
- Mant�m o motor original
- Equipado com a desejada caixa manual de cinco velocidades
Constru�do no ver�o de 1966, este Porsche 912 foi, de in�cio,
destinado ao mercado portugu�s e entregue novo ao seu primeiro
propriet�rio em Lisboa. Estava pintado em preto com interior em
pele castanha. Al�m disso, tinha a rara e desejada caixa manual de
cinco velocidades, um r�dio Blaupunkt Frankfurt, com altifalante e
antena e um teto de abrir, entre outras op��es. Hoje mant�m o preto
no exterior, com interior em bege, conservando ainda o seu motor
original. O conta-quil�metros exibe 2660 km, supostamente os
percorridos desde a conclus�o do seu restauro mais recente.
No cat�logo da Porsche aparecia como a alternativa mais acess�vel
ao 911, mas o 912, apesar de ter o motor de quatro cilindros de 1,6
litros do 356, continuava a ser emocionante de conduzir, em parte
gra�as ao seu peso mais baixo. Com apenas 30.000 exemplares
produzidos entre 1965 e 1968, � muito mais raro quando comparado
com o 911, sendo um objeto de desejo para qualquer entusiasta da
Porsche.To view this car and others currently consigned to this
