THE PORSCHE 911
Porsche developed a reputation early on for their surprising performance from their small displacement rear-engine sports and racing cars. These "giant killers" could outperform cars with much higher horsepower figures by making light cars with incredible handling. This combination gave Porsches their truly unique driving characteristics and solidified their dedicated following of Porsche enthusiasts.
Starting in 1964 with the original 911, Porsche has produced a line of six-cylinder rear-engine sportscars that could compete with much more powerful cars thanks to their low weight and superior handling. The 911 quickly became an icon of performance and handling and offered a driving experience unlike anything else. The 911 has continuously evolved into a more sophisticated, powerful, and capable driving machine, as well as a reliable and usable car.
1969 ushered in the first major changes to the iconic Porsche 911. Retaining the unique and successful rear engine layout as well as the same basic styling, the majority of the changes to the 911 were internal. Dimensionally, the rear track and wheelbase grew, while the overall length stayed the same as the earlier cars. Mechanical fuel injection debuted this year as well as in top-of-the-line 911S and the new 911E. The 911E received its name from Einspritzung, the German term for injection. Slotted between the base-model 911T and the 911S, the E, which replaced the 911L "Luxus," featured improvements including a leather wrapped steering wheel, velour carpeting, vented brake discs, and golden script on the rear deck.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This 1969 Porsche 911 was originally sent new to the USA and is an original 'glass window' model with a 'soft window' rear hood, believed to have been fitted early in its life. The car underwent restoration in the USA before being exported to Europe in 2017. The majority of the mechanical work was carried out by renowned marque specialists TRE Motorsports of Van Nuys, California, while the bodywork was entrusted to Ed Palmer of Kundensport in Camarillo, CA. The car has been repainted in its original and highly sought-after Bahama Yellow exterior color, and it features a nicely patinated black interior with a more modern radio.
At some point in its history, the car's original engine (6291822) was replaced with an identical type engine 911E, number 6291567. Recently, the current Belgian owner has carried out further mechanical and cosmetic improvements and has enjoyed driving the 911 during the summer months over the last couple of years.
Accompanying the car are Belgian registration documents, some invoices for work carried out, a Porsche Certificate of Origin, and a copy of the Porsche Kardex. This beautifully restored and well-maintained Porsche 911 is an excellent example of a sought-after model and would make a great addition to any collection.
