The History of Porsche and the Legendary 911 Porsche, founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, has evolved into one of the most iconic sports car brands in the world. The name Porsche is synonymous with speed, precision, and timeless design. The real breakthrough came in 1964 with the introduction of the Porsche 911 a revolutionary model that would forever change the automotive world. Designed by Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, the founder’s grandson, the 911 quickly won the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. Its distinctive fastback design and air-cooled flat-six engine formed a unique combination that has remained largely unchanged over the decades. The evolution of the 911 has seen many generations, each introducing new refinements and innovations—yet always remaining true to its original DNA. One of the most desirable variants is undoubtedly the Porsche 911T 2. 2 from 1970. With its unique specifications and limited production, this model is among the most sought-after classic Porsches today. The 911T 2. 2: A Revolutionary Leap in the Sports Car World In 1969, the Porsche 911 underwent several technical improvements, including a 57 mm wheelbase extension, resulting in better road handling and enhanced driving comfort. This modification provided greater stability without compromising the playful driving dynamics that made the 911 so beloved. Continuing to innovate, Porsche launched the 911T 2. 2 in 1970, now equipped with a larger 2. 2-liter flat-six engine that delivered an additional 15 horsepower. The result was an even sportier driving experience with a more responsive throttle and improved performance on winding roads. Out of a total production of 81, 032 units, only 2, 573 were produced in the 911T 2. 2 configuration, making this model especially rare. Its exclusivity is further underscored by its rare options and impeccable restoration history. A Dutch Treasure: Originally Delivered in 1970 The Porsche 911T 2. 2 featured here was originally delivered in the Netherlands on October 30, 1970. It came in the exclusive color "8484-H Blaumetallic", a timeless and elegant shade that perfectly highlights the 911’s flowing lines. This car left the factory equipped with the "M470 Comfort Ausstattung" package, also known as the S-package. This included gold "911" badging on the rear deck, velour floor mats, aluminum door sills, chrome side trims, and the iconic 911S-style gauges. Additionally, this example featured a leather-wrapped steering wheel and green-tinted glass, further enhancing its luxurious feel. One of the most special options was the "Leichtmetallrädar 5" a set of original 14-inch alloy wheels, including a fifth spare wheel. These wheels were fitted with Pirelli 185/ 70/ 14 Cinturato CN36 tires, just as they were when the car left the factory in 1970.

For years it sat untouched, until in 2014, a new owner, Mr. Müller, brought the car back to the Netherlands. What followed was an intensive restoration process. The car was fully stripped and media blasted, with every nut and bolt meticulously removed, inspected, and restored.
