details
The US-market Porsche 911L (for ‘Lux’) was a one year only model, often recognised by its side reflectors, and benefited from S brakes and suspension, as well as the interior and exterior trim of the European S model. There was no S for the USA in 1968 so these 449 cars were the top of the range for that year.
This car has the rare ‘Elephant Hide’ vinyl interior completely intact, having had very few owners during its life, including one long-term lady owner in the UK. Its overall presentation is in a remarkably original, time warp condition with many lovely original aspects remaining, such as the factory plastic behind the door cards and the ticket from the seat trimmer.
Sold by Sports Purpose in 2018 to a long standing friend of the business, the car has benefitted from considerable expenditure, most recently with trusted marque expert Prill Porsche Classics.
