The entire project was carried out with an ‘open chequebook’, with emphasis placed on quality and originality. Virtually the entire body has been restored by a master metalworker. The body restoration alone took almost one year, as practically every single piece of sheet metal required expert attention. The emphasis was always on the use of minimal filler. The body was then completely repainted in Porsche Pastell Blau and the finish is excellent. The chrome is high-gloss and without damage.
The entire interior and boot have been restored. The interior was re-upholstered with beige leatherette with original fabric and completely re-trimmed, likewise the door panels. The carpeting was redone according to the original design, colour-matched to the interior. The dashboard instruments have been restored to original condition, while the restored steering wheel is original also restored. The car has the correct Blaupunkt radio.
According to the engine and gearbox number they are the correct type and year and correct (matching!) to the car. During restoration, the engine was dismantled and rebuilt with numerous new parts, including the timing chain, bearings, piston and piston rings. The entire mechanics have been overhauled and any worn parts renewed.
The project’s emphasis has been on obtaining a perfect finish, there is an album of over 500 photographs documenting the restoration. Since completion, the Porsche has formed part of the owner’s car collection and has been thoroughly maintained and barely driven.
This superb looking example has recently been restored to a very high standard. Showing 57,803 kilometres on the odometer the 911 has completed a mere 1.200 kilometers since the exhaustive restoration in 2013-15.
Presented in its original colour combination of Pastellblau coachwork over a beige interior the Porsche looks outstanding. Offered in excellent condition throughout it is supplied with a USB stick detailing the extensive rotisserie restoration, the old American Title, and the current Belgian registration document. Very few cars are restored to such a high standard, and this example is presented in a rare and probably one of the most striking colour combinations. This is an opportunity not to be missed for any collector or Porsche enthousiast.
