It was in 1966 that its proud first owner was allowed to collect the car from the röttger dealer in Hagen, Germany. He chose the beautiful and unique Champagne Gelb with matching black artificial leather interior.
Today, the car is still fully matching. The engine, gearbox and chassis are still these from when the car was new. During an extensive nuts&bolts restoration, no expense was spared to restore this gem to its original glory. Every detail was attended to and originality was of great importance to the owner. The entire process was recorded in a very detailed restoration file based on some 600 photos. The result is more than worth it, the level of finishing of this Porsche is simply phenomenal. The fits are exceptionally good and the panels are perfectly parallel to each other. The Champagne Gelb paint is a treat for the eyes and looks like the car just rolled out of the factory. The correct green counters show just 18 km after restoration. zi You can tell immediately that this was the work of a true specialist. The seats too were taken care of to perfection and finished in detail, they look like no one has ever sat in them before. Steering feels light and precise and seats are so comfortable that you won’t easily want to give up your seat again. The overhaul of the original matching numbers engine and gearbox means that this 911 not only looks like new but also drives like new. The air-cooled 2-litre six-cylinder boxer engine produces 130 hp and sounds like music to your ears while the 5-speed gearbox shifts smoothly through each gear. To make driving even more enjoyable, a small performance upgrade was done by installing time-correct and highly reliable Weber carburettors (type 40IDA). A pleasure for every drive!
Nothing is missing from this car, from the original service booklet, manual and certificate of authenticity to even the correct spare wheel that is still in the car. In addition to the original booklets, the history is perfectly complemented by the extensive restoration report
