Porsche 912

The vehicle in detail

The 912 offers a more balanced weight distribution due to its weight saving, and many Porsche owners claim that in many situations where handling becomes more crucial, a 912 can outdrive a 911. The introduction of the 911 and 912 eliminated the Beetle-derived transaxle swing-arm suspension gene that endured through the previous-era 356, replacing it with a trailing-arm system that handles the famously quirky, rear-biased weight distribution with unique, engaging competency. When the 912 launched in 1965, it initially outsold the 911 at a ratio of two-to-one. What it shares with the 911, is its crisp styling and wonderfully communicative steering, and while prices have risen in line with the wider classic market over the years they’re still, cheaper to buy than 911s from the same era.

The last owner liked the Porsche so much that he brought it over to the UK in 2023, and it was then tuned by Atspeed Racing, Rayleigh and serviced by Hexagon Classics to make sure that it’s all ready for the next owner to enjoy.
