I'm happy. A 1973 911T went for over $96,000. (Lot 358). The only problem is now my wife wants to sell the car as a down payment on a new house. I'm not showing her the results from Monterey now. I don't even think the word "auction" will be used in our house any more.

Produced between 1964 - 1968 the Porsche 911SWB is the genesis for arguably the most iconic sportscar of all time. The early design is regarded by enthusiasts and collectors alike as the purest design with a DNA still very apparent fifty years later.

Offered here is a very original 1967 911SWB from the second year of production with many features of the early production cars. Supplied new by Porsche Inc. USA and finished in Sand beige with black interior the original selling dealer was Vasel Polak of California. It was imported into the UK in 1998 as a very well preserved example with only 41,000 miles showing on the clock and still complete with original features including green lettering dials, wood rim steering wheel and Blaupunkt ‘Frankfurt' radio. In 1999 the engine was subject to a very expensive full rebuild by JZ who recorded at the time it had done little running. There is a ‘Dynoplot' read out showing the rebuilt engine to produce a very healthy 130.9 BHP. They also confirmed it to be the original engine and gearbox. The complete unit has only covered approximately 30,000 miles since and comes with full photographic evidence and invoicing from JZ. It comes with a full MOT and a duplicate V5 has been applied for.

With Porsche 911 values showing the strongest investment potential this is a very unpretentious SWB you would be proud to own at todays guide. Its very presentable with the prospect of further input to produce something very special in a period combination..... we certainly ‘get it'!

Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 to 1973. It was designed to be the more comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting in between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The designation 'E' came from the German for injection: einspritzung. The mechanical fuel injection system (MFI) was used on the 911E and the 911S and developed jointly between Bosch and Porsche. The benefits were better power and drivability with a cleaner running engine. The interior had a few more comfort features, better brakes and gold script on the engine cover.

Offered here is a beautiful F series Porsche 911E finished in the most period combination of Roman purple with Tan interior. The car has been subject to a very comprehensive restoration that was carried out by the previous owner who purchased the car with a light restoration in mind. As with most refurbishments the initial plan soon turned into a full blown restoration. The work was entrusted to DMG Coachworks in Surrey and any corroded metalwork was replaced. When it came to rebuilding the engine, renowned specialist Nick Moss deemed that the original crank cases should be replaced (the originals can be supplied with the car to maintain the provenance if required). It was fully rebuilt with barrels/pistons, crankshaft, cam shafts, chains, carriers and hydraulic tensioners. The engine pulls strongly and a rolling road test confirms it produces one brake horse over the quoted 165bhp from new. The gearbox was rebuilt and a new clutch and flywheel were fitted. The brakes and suspensions were completely overhauled. Interior Porsche specialist, Southbound, were instructed to produce the new interior and refurbish the seating in the original colour of Tan (502). In all, a great deal of expenditure has gone into making this a very fine Porsche 911E. It comes complete with all invoices, correspondence to endorse the history and is MOT'd until August 2015.

With the early Porsche 911 story showing no signs of tiring the values just keep rising. Guided at 50% of an average 911S this 'E' represents value at our guide today.
