Matching-numbers example, we are told
One of the last pre-impact bumper 911s
Tangerine finish with houndstooth interior
Restored in Italy before being imported to the UK
In current ownership since early 2020
The Appeal
The 911E occupies a coveted position within the air-cooled Porsche hierarchy, offering greater refinement than the 911T while retaining the mechanical purity that defines the early long-wheelbase cars. As one of the final pre-impact bumper 911s, the 2.4-litre E represents the last word in the model's original design language.
This 1972 example was restored in Italy before being imported to the UK in September 2018. Finished in Tangerine over a houndstooth interior, it has an eye-catching presence, and the combination is one that suits the 911's flowing lines well. Sitting on 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and Pirelli Cinturato tyres, this is a handsome and well-presented early 911.image.png1.65 MB

Power comes from a 2,341cc air-cooled flat-six equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The engine is believed to remain in standard, unmodified specification, and the vendor reports that the car runs and drives well. Routine maintenance includes an oil change completed in 2025, with only a few kilometres covered since, suggesting the car has seen minimal use following its most recent service.
