Uk Porsche dealer nearest to Brighton in 1968/9

[neilf355]

Good evening all at early 911 S Registry, was just wondering if anyone could possibly answer some queries I have regarding uk supplied cars from 68/69 era ! Am currently researching some of the early history of my 69 s, which appears to have been originally supplied with a South Coast Brighton license plate when first registered, so can anyone say what would likely to have been the nearest dealership that would possibly have supplied her ?.
Also is there any way of finding out the first owners name etc without original bill of sale or full service record that would have been with the car in the 60,s !
My S was registered on the 23 rd October 1968 and is one of the earlier batches of 2.0 mechanical injection cars in right hand drive form !!
Any info will be gratefully received !!

Best regards !!

Have you contacted Ian McLeod ?

He's the early 911 registrar for the Porsche Club GB & may have some information on the car.
