Goodwood Revival: Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia
Delivered new to Sweden Matching chassis, engine and transmission numbers UK registered in August 2021 Extensively restored with no expense spared 2022-2023 Comprehensive restoration records on file Introduced as a new base model in 1967, the 911T (Touring) came initially with the 2. 0-litre six-cylinder engine, gaining the 2. 2-litre unit, along with the rest of the range, in 1969. There was, of course, a 'convertible' Targa version, named in honour of Porsche's numerous victories in the Sicilian classic. For 1969 a quieter and less leak-prone fixed rear window replaced the less than perfect rear hood, and the ever-popular Targa would continue in this form well into the 1990s, sharing countless mechanical and styling developments with its closed cousin along the way. Coincidentally with the Targa's arrival in 1966 came the first of countless upgrades to the perennial 911 in the form of the 911S, which featured stylish Fuchs five-spoked alloy wheels and a heavily revised and more powerful engine. Improved handling courtesy of a lengthened wheelbase arrived in 1969 and then in 1970 the 911's air-cooled, flat six engine underwent the first of many enlargements - to 2. 2 litres. By this time the models on offer had stabilised at three: the entry-level 911T, middle ranking 911E and top-of-the-range 911S, all of which were available as either a closed coup or Targa convertible. With the 2. 2-litre engine's arrival, a common type of cylinder head was adopted, the differing power outputs being determined principally by valve timing rather than valve sizes as had been the case hitherto. In 1972 all 911 variants received the 2, 341cc (nominally 2. 4-litre) unit, which in 'T' specification produced a maximum of 130bhp. By this time all 911 variants destined for the USA - Porsche's biggest export market - were fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. A Swedish car with two former owners, this matching-numbers 911T was treated to an extensive restoration in 2022-2023 with no expense spared, using original Porsche parts. The brakes (specified as S when ordered new) have been rebuilt; the shock absorbers and anti-roll bar replaced; new clutch and flywheel fitted; carburettors rebuilt, etc. The engine has been disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt with a new clutch release bearing and new gaskets throughout. The interior has been completely refurbished with original Porsche parts including the carpets and all vinyl. A history of the rebuild is available in the form of photographs and invoices, the latter totalling approximately 55, 000. Additional documentation consists of a Porsche UK Certificate of Conformity listing its specification; old Swedish registration documents and title; and a current UK V5C Registration Certificate.
