Porsche 911 S

Il veicolo in dettaglio

Introduced for 1967, the Porsche 911 S marked the first high-performance evolution of the short-wheelbase 911, featuring a 160 hp flat-six, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, KONI shocks, front and rear anti-roll bars, and lightweight Fuchs alloy wheels. For 1968, the model received subtle refinements, including updated interior details, improved ventilation, and safety features.

This Porsche 911 2.0 S was originally finished in Silver Metallic over a black leatherette interior and equipped with a Webasto gas heater and passenger-side headrest. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and Kardex copy on file, it was delivered in August 1967 to Giovanni Bauer of Bologna, Italy, through Autogerma, Porsche’s Italian importer at the time. Tommy Trabue acquired this 911 for his collection circa 2000 from Los Angeles-based enthusiast Jeffrey Aleixo.

Following its purchase, it was restored by Roy Sanders, a respected South Carolinabased marque expert known for concours-level work on Porsches and vintage race builds. The restoration included refinishing the car in its factory colors and the addition of period-style non-headrest Recaro sport seats and a sport exhaust.

In a period review, Road & Track noted that the 911 S “maintains all the great qualities of the 911…and adds to them in several areas.” Originally sold only in Rest of World markets and seldom seen stateside today, this higher-performance 911 2.0 S remains an especially enticing proposition.
