Moving one step forward after from Porsches 356, the new 911
introduced a 2.0-litre flat six-cylinder engine. With two more
cylinders, the engine displaced some 400 cc more than its
four-cylinder predecessor and, power was rated at 130 bhp. Still
boasting 2+2 seating, the 911 proved to be an excellent all-around
sports car that could be driven on a daily basis.
Produced for the 1967 model year, this 911 2.0 was destined for
Portugal completed by the factory in April of 1967. Finished in
Light Ivory (6604), the interior was trimmed in black leather with
the desirable pepita fabric inserts. Exceptionally well optioned
from the factory, the car was outfitted with a sunroof, Blaupunkt
Frankfurt radio, seat belts, chrome wheels, and a wood-rimmed
steering wheel.
First registered in Portugal in May of 1967, the car has remained
there since new, passing through four owners. Acquired by its
current custodian in 2003, it was sent to SportClasse, a Porsche
specialist in Lisbon, where it was fully restored. The restoration
began in 2017 and was completed earlier this year. Importantly, it
is presented today in its original colours, retains its original
engine, and still sports its correct dials with green font, and
aluminum dashboard.
Having been in production for well over fifty years, Porsche's 911
is a true automotive icon and the cars produced in the 1960s are
amongst the most cherished. Freshly restored, this stunning example
would be the cornerstone of any great Porsche collection.
