This rare and highly original, 1966 matching-numbers 911 from the USA was recently recommissioned after 46 years in continuous ownership.
Amongst the most radical of 356 models was undoubtedly the legendary ‘Speedster’, introduced in late 1954 at the persuasion of New York-based Austrian, Max Hoffman.
Acknowledged as Porsche’s first production car following the mid-engine prototype “No 1”, the 356 was first built between 1948 and 1950 by Austrian company Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH.
This 1965 911 is a ‘pure build’ historic racing car, built specifically for the new 2 Litre Cup series. Race leader at the most recent round, it is on the button and ready to go.
The original 911 was unveiled in 1963 as the 901, soon relabeled the 911 for launch later the following year after a well-documented naming disagreement with Peugeot.
In 1964, Porsche began phasing out the ageing 356 model and introduced the much more modern 911. Less than two years later, the first significant model upgrade was announced and the 911 S was unveiled at the Hockenheimring in August 1966.
An iconic car that needs no introduction, the Lancia Delta Integrale, with its immediately recognizable profile is the very definition of a modern, sporting classic, having dominated the World Rally Championship throughout the late 1980s and early 90s.
Whilst the stripped-back, performance-focused approach appeared to divide opinion amongst journalists at first, the 964 RS Lightweight has since become one of the most desirable 911 variants today.
The introduction of the 911 / 964 in 1989 marked the most significant evolution to the iconic 911 in its 25-year history to date.
Although slow-starting (from a sales point of view) the Vantage V8 became the backbone of the successful AMR project that continues to the present day.
A unique, one of a kind, paint to sample ‘Green’ (code 9802) 1967 Porsche 911S (MY 1967). Restored with love by one of the UK’s trims specialists and fully fettled, this car is one of less than 30 right hand drive 1967 S models known to exist. A beautiful car that is just waiting to be enjoyed.
An original 911 Coupé manufactured in May 1965, delivered new to the USA and sold by Competition Motors now fully restored to pre-1966 FIA specifications for participation the new 2 Litre Cup racing series, where it scored an impressive top ten finish in the inaugural season’s final round at Paul Ricard in September 2018.
This highly original example of a rare, one year only car was ordered from the factory with the extremely unusual ‘elephant hide’ vinyl and still wears its original Burgundy (‘Burgunderrot’) paint.
With little more than 1,500 miles showing, this stunning ‘Grey Black’ GT3 RS represents a special example of what is fast-becoming a modern classic from the very top of the iconic 911 range, complete with the 4.0-litre unit producing 500hp and the ClubSport package as standard.
