And the best part about our 911 2.2S? The way she drives of course. She wouldn’t be a true Porsche if she didn’t drive great. She is powered by her wonderful 2.2L air cooled flat six engine which has plenty of power to put other sports cars to shame. Her gearbox is a smooth shifting example that adds to the great driving experience.
Our 2.2S truly is a well restored example that will put a smile on your face every time you turn the key. And when you park her up in the evening, you will have that wonderful exterior to look at. Don’t miss your chance to drive through summer in this unique example. Get in touch to schedule a test drive. But we will warn you that you might fall in love…
