- Delivered new in Germany with special paintwork “Signal Yellow”

- Full chassis-up restoration completed in 2018

- Only 1492 ‘S’ versions built in 1969

In 1969, the Porsche 911 underwent a fundamental change when it adopted a longer wheelbase, improving the sports car’s handling. In this 2-litre version, the air-cooled flat-six produced 170bhp and was only built for one year, to be replaced by the 2.2-litre version for the following model year. Thanks to their purity and simplicity, the Porsche 911s from this period have long driven collectors crazy.

This 911 S 2.0L was delivered new in Germany on 21 July 1969 finished in ‘Signal Yellow’, a special order colour, with an interior in black leatherette, as the Porsche certificate with the car confirms. Imported from the USA by its previous owner in 2015, the car has undergone a complete restoration, and we invite interested bidders to look at the file and photographs. After being completely stripped down, this 911 S is now in superb condition, as can be seen from the valuation report. The body and underbody were completely restored and any damaged parts replaced, before an anti-corrosion treatment and new paint were applied. The flat-six, which is not the original engine (but is correct for the model and year), was also fully restored. The running gear and braking system were restored, as were the fuel tank, pipes, wiring loom, interior trim and seat upholstery. The wheel alignment, engine set-up and various tests, were the final stages in bringing this magnificent classic Porsche back to life. The total cost of this iconic car (including purchase and restoration) was in excess of 200,000€, and our collector of limited-edition cars was impressed by the quality of the restoration as well as the fact that the car had been sold new in a custom color. He purchased it at the 2022 Le Mans Classic auction and has since carefully maintained the car as if it were just out of restoration.
