Porsche 911

Le véhicule en détail

Chassis Number #300174 was completed at Stuttgart, Zuffenhausen on the 8th December 1964 and was supplied new as a Left Hand Drive model on the 8th January 1965 via German Porsche dealer MAHAG, Munich to its first owner a Mr Herbert Ritter.

It was originally presented in the most desirable colour combination, Slate Grey (6401) body colour over Red Leatherette, the seats were originally trimmed with Houndstoth insert. All 1964 901/911’s were supplied in Porsche 356 colours.

The car is understood to have had only 4 owners from new.

In 1967 chassis number 300174 was purchased by a US Servicemen based in Germany, three years later both he and the Porsche were relocated back to the US. Shortly after his return to US he sold the car to the third owner, a gentleman located in Pennsylvania.

Between 1971 and 77 the car was used regularly, eventually being laid up in 1978 where the car remained dry stored until 2012.

In 2010 Magnus Walker went in search of the Holy Grail of all Porsche 911’s searching around the world for a Type 901/911. After 2 years searching he was notified of a cool unmolested, very original car in Pennsylvania, he jumped on a plane and 8 hours later the car was heading back to his LA warehouse.

This very original unrestored examples still retaining all its unique 901 parts along with the most an amazing interior. It still retains its original engine (900243) with correct Solex carbs and air cleaners, the doors carry the last 3 digits of the chassis number, date stamped wheels (11/64), correct engine lid, 901 front latch panel and unpressed rear engine lid slam panel. The car is fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission (901/54 Type) with Nürburgring ratios.

The fact this Pre production 911 is the best colour combination, previously owned by Magnus Walker and is 100% complete would be a significant car to add to any collection.
