Here we present chassis number 300113. Delivered new on 4 December 1964 by Porsche dealer Krauss in Nuremberg, Germany. In the beautiful classic colour combination of Hellelfenbein with a black faux leather interior. Less than a year later, in October 1965, the 911 was registered in the USA, New York. Sometime in the following years, a Mr Ryer from Lincoln became the owner, as evidenced by the title from October 1972, which was valid until August 1973. During this time, 300113 ended up in a barn, where it remained until 2016! In 2016, it emerged as a very complete 911, complete with all exterior and interior parts and its technology, with its matching engine and gearbox. However, it was severely affected by rust. In 2016, it was a truly spectacular barn find.
300113 was then exported to the Netherlands and found its new owner. A great enthusiast and collector of truly unique Porsches. This new owner commissioned us, Porsche Classic Centre Gelderland, to completely restore 300113 to the highest possible standard. With the clear instruction to preserve or restore all original 1964 details in the car.
A very intensive restoration followed, lasting more than three years. This process was meticulously documented with photographs, invoices and a book.
No effort was spared to achieve the best and most original result possible. As few parts as possible were replaced. Wherever possible, the original parts were restored. There are countless details, too many to mention here. The early 911 models from this first series are bursting with these unique details. Many, many pre-production parts, which were never made available as replacement parts afterwards. Buying new parts is therefore simply not an option. Experts will recognise various unique details from the photographs alone.
Now, after six years of pride of place in his magnificent collection, the owner has decided that it is time for a new owner to enjoy this 911.
An absolutely unique Porsche 911 on the market. In a quality that is very rare, if not unheard of.
