Already in April 1988 the car was registered in the Netherlands and in June 2018 it was registered in England.

History
In 1963 Porsche launched the successor to the 356. At that time it still had the type indication 901, but this soon changed to 911.
This created the most iconic sports car model ever in Porsche history.
