- Desirable Tangerine over Black leather
- Very original and highly collectable
- Retains numbers-matching engine and gearbox
- Accompanied by Kardex copy and Porsche Classic Technical Certificate
Chassis number 119300279 left the Zuffenhausen assembly line on 19 November 1968. According to a copy of its Kardex on file, it was finished in Blutorang, or Tangerine, with Black leather seats and trim. The customer had specified tinted glass all around, a rear-window wiper, and a radio installation package that included a dashboard speaker, antenna, and static suppressor.
The car was delivered to Hahn Motorfahrzeuge in Stuttgart, and sold to a Mr. Deleplace, owner of an automotive shop in Champigny-sur-Marne, east of central Paris; it would remain registered in France over its lifetime. Deleplace, a fuel-injection expert, is said to have carried out all the maintenance on the car himself over the three decades he owned the car, and kept all the information in a little logbook.
In 1999 he sold the 911 S to a Mr. Van De Kerckhove, whose widow sold it to its third owner in 2004. That individual sent it to 911 specialist Garage Baumet in Morières Lès Avignon for a complete overhaul, and afterward it was serviced by his personal mechanic. In 2018, when it came time to sell once more, it was entrusted to a Porsche dealer in Lyon for a final check-up that included an oil and filter change, a brake system overhaul that included a new master cylinder. Four new Michelin tires were fitted. At the time of cataloguing, this very desirable 911S had recorded just 130,000 kilometers, or 80,700 miles.
Ready for its fourth owner to enjoy, this wonderfully original Porsche 911 S, equipped with numbers-matching engine and gearbox, is finished by its mandatory amber French headlamps—in this case Bosch H1s—stainless rocker-panel trim, a Blaupunkt stereo radio, and a set of Coco mats.
