We are proud to offer for sale this beautiful example of a 1968 Porsche 911 2. 0 Short-wheelbase coupe. This is a matching numbers car that has recently been sympathetically restored to a very high standard. Manufactured in March 1968, just 5 months before the long wheelbase B series cars were launched, making this one of the last short wheelbase 911’s to leave the factory. The car was sold new via PON Automobielhandel of Amersfoort in the Netherlands, a well established dealer network still operating today, by August 1968 it was in Montpellier France, owned by a Mr George Allard. Mr Allard owned the car for more than 20 years and was certainly very meticulous when it came to servicing and maintenance, with a large ring binder present full of invoices for work carried out on the car. Regularly serviced at the renowned Sonauto Porsche main dealer in Paris. Interestingly in 1970 & 1971 Mr Allard brought the car to his home in Norfolk and while he was here had the car serviced by the famous UK Porsche main dealer A. F. N Ltd as well as having work carried out locally in Norfolk. Also included in the history folder is the original service schedule booklet, this documents numerous services throughout the 60’s & 70’s which are then backed up by the invoices in the file, a great piece of history. Interestingly this car was originally destined for the U. S but for some reason it never left Europe making it very rare, only 473 US examples were produced between Aug 1967 & July 1968. Having its history so well documented and the same owner for such a long time ads great provenance to this car. In 1989 the car was sold to a Mr Manning of Norfolk, himself associated with Porsche here in the UK. The car was then sold on in 2002 to a Mr Daniels & then to the latest owner, a Porsche collector in 2013, who due to the originality and overall condition of the car decided to have the car thoroughly restored by his own team of engineers, including a complete engine rebuild. Having gone through a full restoration, using as many original parts as possible, the car was finally painted in its original factory colour of Polo Red (6802) & the result is simply stunning. The car is now tuned and on the button, driving faultlessly ready for a new owner. This is a rare opportunity to purchase such a well restored SWB 911 with such well documented history.
Car is located just outside Norwich, Norfolk, UK, Viewing by appointment.
