    300174 . . .

    . . . ex-Magnus Walker

    VN =300174
    Eng# = 900243
    Trans# = 063-901
    Prod# = ?

    . . . Midlands-based marque specialists Export 56 have just acquired a genuine 1964 full matching numbers Porsche 901/911 owned by Magnus walker since 2012, presented in original, unrestored condition.

    'The car has not been driven since 1978 and will require a full, sympathetic and accurate restoration back to factory specification, ' says Ben Pacey. 'Originality is the key when restoring such an important vehicle so every original part must be inspected and rebuilt or restored and put back on the car.'

    This fully matching numbers example has to be one of the most original unrestored examples in existence, still retaining all of its unique 901 parts along with the most amazing interior. It was manufactured on 8th December 1964 . . . fitted with a five-speed trans and was supplied by the factory to its German customer in Slate Grey and red leather interior with pepita inserts
    . . .

    From Classic Porsche, no.63, p16

    That's not a valid transmission serial number, which would be six digits beginning 100...
    The transmission type would be 901/0, and also stamped into the main housing.

    My understanding is that it is 100063 and 901/0

    That car's interior is in amazing shape, although the front seats have been reupholstered in appropriate leatherette. The thing that amazed me most is the existence of the original door seals, which in the very early cars are a different configuration and stiffer rubber than was used later.

    Is this the 1964 911 that Magnus Walker was so happy to have found in his quest on having an early 911 from each year? In that case he's probably low on money.

    He always kept the '64 out of sight as far as I know... no videos or pictures.
