Auction Description:
Offered here is a very original example of the sought after 911T which was first registered on 31.3.71 in Zurich, Switzerland. The original Porsche Pflegepass (registration document) with the car has a dealer stamped service history to 6.4.90 by which time the car had travelled just 58,787 km in 19 years. The Swiss service history resumes in 2004 and is continuous to date. The previous owner to our vendor imported the car from Switzerland in 2006. The odometer now reads 66,000 kms. It is understood from the previous Swiss owner that the distance travelled is in fact 166,000 kms, which is just 103,000 miles in 44 years. This is a beautiful, unmolested, matching numbers example, so difficult to find in this condition. The original colour was Albertblau as is documented in the Porsche certificate, this was subsequently changed to Gemini Blue. The interior is the original black leatherette with fabric inserts and the carpets original fleck grey. The car was supplied with a number of extras to the standard 911 T specification, 5 speed gearbox, Fuchs forged light alloy wheels, gold Porsche name and model number, aluminium sill protectors, 911 S instruments and rear window demist. The car is fitted with a working period radio. It has a modern alarm and immobiliser. As testament to its Swiss ownership the car came to us fitted with a period Clay Regazzoni signature steering wheel by Momo (itself rare). The original Porsche 4 spoke, leather covered, steering wheel comes with the car. In the last few months, the car has also undergone an extensive engine rebuild and the Carbs have been changed to a completely rebuilt set of matching Weber 40 IDAs along with a Pertronix Ingnitor Electronic Ignition kit. The original Zenith carburettors and Marelli Distributor and air box come with the car, so can be changed back to original setup in a very short time if required.
It is rare to find a car in this lovely condition with a patina that restored examples simply cannot match. With 911S values at £200,000 for the very best, this 911T represents value and this car is surely a great usable investment at todays guide. Taxed and MOT'd until December 2015.
