details

This car is an original, matching-numbers RHD 911S manufactured in Germany to UK specification. Completed on 9 October 1967, it is thought to be one of approximately only 35 made for the RHD markets.

The exterior paint is a most unusual feature, believed to be the only example recorded as Jaguar ‘Indigo Blue’.  First registered on 20 October 1967, little known of the car’s ownership history before it was sold to John Traynor of Beverley, East Yorkshire.  Complete but having spent many years off the road, the car required a full, ground-up restoration, with the extensive project undertaken by classic Porsche workshop, Canford Classics

A complete set of invoices are available, detailing all work carried out over the three-year restoration, with the car finally registered on 1 April 2015 as ‘PRH 64F’. Still retaining its original mechanical components, the car is one of the rarest ‘S’ examples.

These cars are beautifully pure to drive while the S upgrades really gave it the performance and handling to match the looks and image of Porsche.
Our thoughts

Comprehensively restored to original specification, the car features a host of the prized features that makes the ‘S’ such a favourite amongst early 911 models, whilst the overhauled original engine and gearbox ensure this car delivers the expected ‘S’ performance on the road too.  

This is a wonderful car to drive in all circumstances and conditions but with that unique 1960s cool.

This car ticks many boxes:  fully restored, matching numbers, in a unique colour and in a right-hand drive format that is both rare and usable.  

As an early 911 to drive often, it has few peers.
