1966 Porsche 911 S No reserve
1966 Porsche 911 S No reserve
• High-quality restoration
• Original engine
• S model, short wheelbase
• Superb colour
• No reserve
This car was sold new at the start of November 1966 through the Schulz dealership in Düsseldorf to JD Hildegard von Croy. It was finished in Polo Red and had a sunroof (which is no longer present), tinted glass, a rear wiper, an outside temperature gauge and a Blaupunkt Köln radio. From 1993-2012, it spent part of its life in Finland (its ownership history is on file) and in 2019, it was sold to Stentenbach Classics at Neuwied in Germany. This Porsche specialist, particularly well-known for its work on the 356 and the first 911s, then set about a complete restoration of the car. Staffan Wittmark, who had already had dealings with Stentenbach, bought the car from them in 2020.
Thanks to the outstanding quality of the work carried out, this 1966 Porsche 911S, with the short wheelbase of the early models, is in exceptional condition. Its lavish ‘Slate Grey’ paintwork gracefully envelops the body, which has been restored with the utmost care. Wittmark considers this to be the colour which goes best with the very first 911s and his collection includes a 911 from 1965 in the same shade. The metalwork in the front compartment is superb and - the height of elegance - the tool roll has been remade with the same ‘Pepita’ cloth used on the seating surfaces. The seats themselves have been magnificently restored, as have the carpets, door cards, headlining and dashboard. The rear compartment houses the original engine with its twin triple-barrel Weber carburettors, and the appearance of the entire car is to a very high standard. It has not been driven since it was restored and the odometer is reading 149km.
After this top-flight restoration, this Porsche 911 S, which displays all the purity of the first versions, asks only to be used by its new owner and to let the metallic sound of its legendary flat-six ring out.
