Description
We are pleased to offer for sale what must be considered one of the finest examples of early SWB 912 models built for the UK market.
Supplied by AFN Limited in May 1966
Presented in the truly stunning colour combination of Slate Grey exterior, with Red interior. As documented on its original delivery specification in the Porsche factory build record
Its numbers matching original engine has benefitted from recent mechanical work and runs very well and is presented in immaculate condition and detail
The vehicle runs and drives without fault and is a joy on the road to experience the lightweight chassis and nimble handling. This car oozes charisma and commands attention wherever its driven
An older restoration, it retains the charm and patina that is very difficult to replicate with a fresh restoration.
We removed the interior door trim panels, and confirm the original doors are fitted, as evidenced by the last three digits of the chassis number stamped in the door casing, both sides
There are probably less than 20 RHD SWB examples currently on the road, that makes this such a rare machine, and in this condition and specification sets it apart
What is even more impressive than the appearance is the long term care and ownership that has been bestowed during its 51 year existence. Only 5 owners from new, 86, 000 documented miles – confirmed by extensive MOT and Service records that run right back to its very first MOT test in 1971. Nice to see the AFN stampings in the service book from the early delivery/ running in period
The burgundy wallet contains ALL its original drivers handbook, service book and maintenance folder. A correctly appointed toolkit and jack complete the essentials in the boot – rare to find all these original items after 50 odd years of use.
