Auction Description:
This desirable early 1969 911 S Targa is finished in Silver metallic with black leatherette upholstery. It was delivered new to Max Moritz of Autohaus in Germany, and was equipped with several important extras, such as tinted windows, heated rear window, and special paintwork (Silver metallic). The car's original specification is shown in its certificate of authenticity from Porsche, included in the car's paperwork file.
Upon completion in Germany in 1969, the car then moved to Georgia, USA in 1971 with its original owner and remained in the USA. The history file confirms it passed in 1980 to its second owner in Tennessee, USA. The car was then repatriated to Europe, and has from then on been in the hands of only its third custodian since 1969.
This matching numbers example has since been treated to a re-spray in its original Silver Metallic, at which time the seals were also replaced. The car also wears its original period black leatherette interior upholstery, which has been exceptionally well preserved and presents very nicely.
The 2.0 engine was also rebuilt in 2014, with new clutch and flywheel fitted, and also has a new battery. Since the work on the engine was carried out, the car has covered merely 1000km. The car is complete with tools and jacks, and original radio; carpets, door panels, pockets and Targa top are in excellent condition, as well as the dash and the correct speaker grill pattern.
The body is in excellent condition: panels are straight and have correct gaps. The 15 inch Fuchs alloy wheels (including a spare) are in good shape and currently wear a nice set of Michelin tyres. Sold with Belgian registration documents and Belgian technical control, this car is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
