We are very pleased to bring to market this very nice, not perfect, but very nice Porsche 912 short wheelbase coupe finished in red with a black interior and sat on a period if not original set of Fuchs alloys. The Porsche is wearing a rather fetching Momo wooden steering wheel and would appear to have a period radio - all very nice! It has been suggested to the vendor that it may have had a colour change at some point in its life, but please come and have a look yourself so you can satisfy that you are happy with it.
The Porsche has a lot of history from years gone by in the form of invoices and receipts, along with a collection of older MOTs and even down to the vendor’s insurance details showing that it is costing the vendor £136 a year to insure. Amazing! The 912 sits very well and comes complete with a car cover. It is evident that this Porsche has been cherished and loved by its vendor, who has owned it since 2007. It was imported into the UK in 1973 and has only had 3 previous owners, nice. The paperwork carries on with details of the previous owners in the form of older V5s, some details of its importation from Belgium and some details from America (quite a well-travelled car). It even comes with spare keys.
The condition is rather nice with good chrome in all the right places and it looks wonderful in red. There is a little bit of rust bubbling near the rear window, but is very addressable, and there is a split in the driver’s seat. Bearing in mind the car is 59 years old, we think you can forgive it for that and easily put it right.
The vendor has kindly provided the following information:
“The 912 was introduced alongside the 911 , Porsche felt the 356 owners would possibly not like the 911 6-cylinders and so they fitted the 911 with a 356-style engine to help the transition. The 912 actually outsold the 911 in the first year. Owners also thought that the 912 was better handling due to the extra weight of the 6-cylinders over hanging the rear.
