1965 Porsche 911 – RM Sotheby’s

This delightful example was among those in the first full year of production—denoted by the 300 chassis number—and left the factory in March 1965 finished in Signal Red with a Black leather interior. The only options fitted were Dunlop 165/15 tyres. The 703rd example, it was destined for the Sonauto dealership in Paris, where it was registered a month later.

The vehicle in detail

It went back to the dealership for a service in 1967 and from then remained in France. In 2015 owner Danguin Pascal carried out an extensive restoration, sourcing the correct period parts from Porsche specialists across Europe. Today the car is in perfect condition and comes with a history file containing recent invoices, a certificate of authenticity, its original service record, and an owner’s manual.

Porsche’s legendary 911 is now one of the most recognisable car designs, having evolved over 60 years. It was a sensation when introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, and production began a year later. It was the first all-Porsche design and boasted features such as a five-speed gearbox developed from the 904 and four-wheel disc brakes.

Slightly longer than the 356 but with a small track, it featured a 1,991 cc SOHC air-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with two Solex triple-throat carburettors that developed 130 bhp, resulting in a top speed of 209 km/h. The superlatives from road testers revealed just how good the 911 was. Road & Track called it ‘the Porsche to end all Porsches’ and ‘one of the best Gran Turismo cars in the world’. It summed up that the 356’s replacement was ‘superior in every respect…the stuff legends are made of.’ The first six months of production sold out instantly, leaving lengthy waiting lists.
