So does that mean there's a problem if there is no record of the VIN on the ESR?

ESR is a bunch of enthusiasts, not the ultimate word on the whereabouts of these cars. As a potential buyer I think it would help knowing that someone on the forum may be familiar with the car or there is a FS record in the car's past, but I wouldn't focus on that.Originally Posted by savagejayj
More of them surface over time, due to going up for sale or change of ownership.
That is a no excuses price for an early S, one with what looks like incorrectly patterned leather on the re-upholstered sport seats. A very pretty car though
Nice Silver/Blue color combination

Dealer Description:
CPR Classic is greatly pleased to offer one of the finest examples of a long-hood 911 that we have ever restored or sold. This 1970 911S is a two-owner example that was delivered new at El Camino Porsche Audi in San Carlos, California.
The original owner ordered the car at the factory in Stuttgart and provided a blue leather sample to have the interior completed in. The story and particular interior color are documented through the car's history and its Certificate of Authenticity (CoA). The interior is listed as "Leather to Sample" on the CoA. Several years ago, when the car arrived at CPR for its restoration, the original interior was still intact. This allowed us to replicate the identical color and inserts that the car was originally delivered with from the factory.
The original owner who purchased the car had it regularly serviced at DM Motors in Palo Alto, California. The original owner and the owner of DM Motors were long-time friends, and when the original owner passed in 2012, the owner of DM Motors purchased the 911S from his family. He then commissioned CPR to complete a concours-level restoration.
The car retains all of its original metal and is one of the straightest, unmolested 911s that we have ever restored. It also has every piece of documentation since new- to include every brochure, manual, service records, warranty book, yearly registrations, photos of the car throughout its lifetime, and much more. This car is, without a doubt, the best-documented early 911 we have ever encountered with a complete verifiable history. It is also a rare delight to see a story where the gentleman that worked on this 911S for years and years, ended up purchasing it 40+ years later and carried forward the car's unique story and history.
Also of note, the front and rear over-rider bars were installed early in the car's life. The second owner chose to restore the vehicle to exactly as it had been equipped when he serviced the car throughout its life.
This example is one of the more distinctive long-hood 911s still in existence today with its unmatched history and documentation. It should not be missed by any collector or enthusiast looking for a perfectly documented 911.
Original options for the car (as shown on its CoA) include:
-US equipment
-Rear wiper
-Blaupunkt radio
-Comfort equipment (air conditioning)
-Tinted glass all around
-Electric sunroof

Auction Description:
- The D-series (August 1970-July 1971) was one of the most desirable early 911 models
- The 911S 2.2 was fitted with the 2195cc, SOHC, Flat-6, Type 911/02 engine
- Power output was now 180bhp at 6,500rpm, giving it a top speed of 138 mph/ 0-60 in seven seconds
- This example was UK-delivered from new and retains its original matching numbers engine
- Subject to a significant body restoration during 2015 but would benefit from further detailing
- The 2.2 S is a rare car and appears very sensibly guided to reflect the current market
This lovely 1971, 911S 2.2 has been with our vendor since 1991 and has been used by him and his wife ever since, mainly as their daily driver, and regularly serviced by Porsche service centres near his place of work in London and his home near Exeter. Most recently it has been kept in Devon and only used occasionally weather permitting. Whilst in his ownership it has been subject to partial bodywork restorations, firstly in 2000 which saw a £15,000 spend with KD Motor Engineers in Cheshire and secondly in 2015 which saw £30,000 spent with the work organised by Porsche Exeter. The result is a very honest and eminently usable 911S which could certainly be enjoyed as is. Our vendor contacted Porsche Reading to gain confirmation that it retains the original engine and by the time of the sale it may come with the Porsche Letter of Conformity. It has had six previous owners and may have been subject to a colour change at some time.
With 911S 2.2s becoming increasingly rare in the market place, this much-enjoyed example would make a sensible investment or is simply ready to be driven as intended.

Indeed it was. I was at the auction on Saturday and had a closer look at this one after the hammer went down at that price, as I was intrigued. Very tatty interior, seats and door panels needed sorting (cleverly most of the damage is 'just out of shot' in the photographs), underfloor had lots of patchwork but otherwise intact from what I could see, non-original colour exterior but reasonably tidy. Didn't get to hear the engine run or check the condition of the chassis, but could have been a good driver-level entry into the S world for someone.

Interesting history: "this car was being shown in the auburn cord dueseberg museum. The storage place in which it was stored caught on fire and burned the car. It does come with a clear title."

Auction Description:
•One of only 729 examples of the 2.2-litre 'S' Targa built
•Long-time owned by the Auburn Automotive Heritage Museum (1982-2015)
•Recently completed professional full restoration
•Bills totalling over €120,000 available
The car offered here is one of the rare C-programme (1970) 911S Targa models with the 2.2-Litre engine, only 729 of which were produced, and with 180bhp on tap was one of the two most powerful models in the range, the other being the 911S coupé. A matching-numbers example, chassis number '9110310513' was delivered new to the USA and is believed to have been on static display for most of its life (1982-2015) at Auburn Automotive Heritage in Indiana from where the current owner bought the car.
Well preserved, the Porsche did not need a full restoration but the perfectionist owner wanted it to be perfect and commissioned a full 'last nut and bolt' restoration. It is offered fresh from the completion of this concours-standard restoration (undertaken between 2015 and 2019) and comes with a photographic record and invoices totalling over €120,000. The latter total includes bills of €25,000 for the engine rebuild. Originally finished in Burgundy with beige/tan interior, the car now has Pepita interior trim (the expensive and difficult to find door pockets are new).
Driven barely 100 kilometres since completion, the Targa is presented in excellent condition throughout. At the time of cataloguing the final suspension adjustment had yet to be carried out, hence the car's low appearance in the photographs. A highly desirable top-of-the-range model in a very attractive colour-combination, this superb Porsche 911S Targa is worthy of the closest inspection. The car is offered with Belgian registration papers, old US title, and the aforementioned restoration invoices and an incredible amount of restoration photos.

Auction Description:
- A Finarte World Premiere: the first realization of the IDEM Twins project.
- Two cars: one perfectly restored, one new, set up in identical livery.
- 911 F: Extremely rare SWB model in “Soft Window” Targa version.
- Both top of the range and performance of their model year.
- Safe investment and fully usable
This car also boasts a very rare Light Ivory/Red basket colour combination: we are not able to recover production numbers with these specifications, but considering that Porsche has produced only 442 cars of this model for the whole world, and checking the offer present on the international scene, we consider this color combination an absolute rarity. The chassis no. 11850424 has been completely restored and is in pristine condition.
