On snow and ice, the 911 proved to have something special. The weight of the air-cooled boxer engine pressed down precisely on the driven rear wheels, allowing the car to find traction where other cars only produced wheelspin. Drivers discovered that the 911 was not only fast but also incredibly effective under the toughest conditions.
That was definitively proven during the Monte-Carlo Rally 1968Under extreme winter conditions, steered Vic elford his 911 to a legendary victory. While competitors struggled with snow, ice, and mechanical problems, the Porsche kept going — fast, reliable, and almost imperturbable. From that moment on, the 911 was no longer just a sports car; it was a serious rally machine.
What made the F-series so special was that unique combination of characteristics. Lightweight. Compact.
Mechanically pure. No electronic aids, no filters between driver and machine — just balance, precision, and character. A car that challenges its driver, but also rewards.
In the years that followed, the 911 appeared wherever rallies were toughest. On the snowy Alpine routes of Monte Carlo, the narrow asphalt roads of the Tour de Corse, and even in the ruthless Safari Rally in Africa. There, the cars were fitted with raised suspension, extra lighting, and reinforced bodywork to survive thousands of kilometers of dust, mud, and heat. It was no longer a showroom Porsche — it was a survival machine.
Within that history, the following grew in particular: Porsche 911ST turned into an icon. Wide wheel arches, low weight, an aggressive stance, and a raw driving experience made the ST perhaps the ultimate early rally 911. Not built to be comfortable, but to win.
And that is exactly what you still feel today when you see an F-series rally version like the one we are currently offering. Those extra spotlights. The higher ride height. The narrow body with widened fenders. Everything exudes adventure, competition, and mechanical honesty.
That is why these cars are so much more than classic Porsches today. They represent an era when rally driving was still about courage, endurance, and pure control. A time when a driver raced through snowstorms in the middle of the night with nothing but talent, maps, and trust in his machine.
That is why you don’t buy an F-Series Rally 911 solely for performance or value appreciation. You are buying a piece of motorsport history. A car with a story. A machine that earned its reputation not on a dyno, but on ice, gravel, mud, and mountain passes all over the world.
The car we are currently offering is the first series 911, the F-series. Built in 1966 and based on the famous 2.0 engine, this is a sublime rally car. A car ready to withstand the toughest special stages, yet very easy and relaxed to drive, making a fun touring trip on a free weekend certainly one of the many possibilities.
This Porsche was built from a bare shell a few years ago. First, the sheet metal was handled by a renowned body shop specializing in Porsches, after which a true rally specialist applied all his skill and experience to create the very best of the best in terms of restoration and preparation. Every detail has been considered, clearly demonstrating the preparer’s rally experience. The majority of cars offered are of the “look-alike rally car” level. Nice colors, stickers, and lights—it looks impressive, but ultimately, it amounts to nothing. The layman or beginner often falls for this and only realizes later that they should have prepared better, because now their car turns out not to be what was expected. With our more than 45 years of experience in motorsport, we have seen and experienced everything and only want to offer the best cars. We want nothing to do with the rest, because that always ends in disappointment for everyone. We can only be very happy with this 1966 Porsche 911 2.0 Short Wheel Base. And so, the owner was happy with it for years as well. The most enjoyable and adventurous rallies were driven successfully and without mishap. That is due to a very large extent to the preparation, of course. That has to be right from the ground up.
It is certainly spot on, because the preparer could and was allowed to pull out all the stops to make the car as perfect as possible. Budget played hardly any role; quality played all the more so. As mentioned, that started with beautiful bodywork. Sleek and with perfect panel gaps. The lovely, slightly cream/white paint gives the car a wonderfully classic look, while the LV striping (which is easy to remove if necessary) adds a feminine touch.
The interior is equipped with everything indispensable in a race car: from good seats in which you can sit effortlessly for days on end to a protective roll cage, safety roll harness belts, all necessary rally equipment, right down to fire extinguishers and spare parts. Everything is super complete and in an exceptionally beautiful and well-working condition.
Technically, the 2.0-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine has also been upgraded by the specialist (a full overhaul was performed in 2020) and has now become approximately 2.4 liters, with a significant increase in horsepower and torque. The engine, equipped with a dual ignition system, responds beautifully to the throttle and produces the delightful and typical air-cooled Porsche sound that, let’s be honest, is one of the main reasons why you love Porsche so much. An easily adjustable suspension, suitable for every situation, should not be forgotten either, and the well-controllable brakes are also of the highest standard. The complete list of all the features resulting from the preparation is too long to mention here, but think, for example, of a parking heater (great for participating in the Wintertrial, for instance), and likewise a heated windscreen. And for the man or woman with limited muscle power, there is electric power steering, which is very easy to adjust from no assistance to a lot. The enlarged fuel tank is also very easy to adjust.
This Porsche 911 2.0 Coupe Short Wheel Base has always been maintained to perfection by the same specialist who also handled the preparation, and is ready to drive not only for delightful touring, but is also eager to line up at the start of the most magnificent rallies.
