The Turin Charter – THE global set of rules of the FIA/FIVA as a guideline for the responsible handling of a historic vehicle – makes it easier for us to make the preservation of an original condition attractive to our customers by stating, quite correctly: “It is the highest principle of the vehicle to leave his story. A “better than new” condition is not desired. A historic vehicle should retain its appearance and specification.”
The extensive value and condition report from Classic Data with a grade of 1.75 consists of approx. 40 pages, 99 photos and covers every relevant detail. The expert commissioned to do this, who has now unfortunately died, Dipl.-Ing. Peter Deuschle was one of the most renowned Porsche appraisers in the Federal Republic of Germany and was himself used by the Porsche factory as the highest authority for special examples.
When determining the value of this vehicle, particular attention was paid to the following points:
- The structure/body/paint consists largely of the original substance
- According to available documents, the first delivery took place domestically
- There is a FIVA passport number 013452 from March 20, 1999 for the vehicle
Excerpt from his report: “Like most vehicles from the 1960s, the Porsche 911 at the time was only inadequately protected against corrosion. For this reason, restored vehicles with original bodies are extremely rarely available today. As a rule, the bodies of available vehicles have been “more or less” professionally renovated/restored.”
You can probably imagine that we have seen a lot of Porsches over the decades. However, we actually don't know of 5 comparable vehicles with a short wheelbase from the first series up to 1968 that are in this exceptionally well-preserved condition, both technically and visually, without ever having been truly restored.
All condition and value preservation measures of the last decades are clearly documented in the form of invoices from the companies carrying out the work, in the form of records from the four owners, and finally in the form of images. The original on-board folder with service book, the original keys and other desirable details are present and belong to the vehicle.
The paint layer thickness measurement shows around 50% original factory paint application, now well over 50 years old.
In addition to the usual maintenance work, an engine and transmission overhaul took place within the last 30,000 km. The individual invoices for the work and parts are also available. Of course, no technical component such as brakes, chassis and the like was neglected and was also overhauled/revised when necessary.
In short – a largely authentic, “short” S with these key data, this condition and, above all, this history is likely to be the much sought-after but hard-to-find needle in the haystack. We therefore recommend this vehicle to every serious collector to complete their precious items. The vehicle is still in top technical shape and can be used for any driving occasion.
Every Porsche fan should have driven an “S” from the first series with the comparatively tiny 2.0 liter boxer engine, its factory-installed carburetors and factory-fitted camshafts once in their life. The sound of this engine is different from all other 6-cylinder engines ever built and speaks its own, clear language. Its light-footed revving combined with its low flywheel mass turns the small engine into a thoroughbred, series-produced sports engine. It is said to have the inimitable singing quality that distinguishes this legendary 2-liter engine from all other Porsche boxer engines.
Pure Porsche.
Every ride with it is inspiring and refreshing at the same time. We would be happy to welcome specific interested parties to visit by appointment to get an idea of our descriptions of this special Porsche.
With the very best recommendations.
