Spared the appendages and outgrowths of later models, the first generation of the 911 is seductive for the original simplicity and purity of its lines. Long neglected in favour of newer, more demonstrative cars, it is now highly sought-after by discerning collectors. Originally named the 901, and previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the 911 went into production in May 1964. It was powered by a 130bhp two-litre engine. At the end of 1968, it was fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection to comply with American anti-pollution standards, the United States being Zuffenhausen's main market. The 911's cubic capacity was increased to 2.2 litres in 1969.
Less sophisticated than the S version, which was certainly more powerful but had much higher maximum torque, the 2.2 T was more pleasant to drive in regular use. The car weighed just over a tonne, something that is almost impossible to achieve on a production car today.
The Targa version was presented at Frankfurt in 1965 and was to be the only cabriolet version (in this case, a convertible) in the 911 range until the 1980s. Initially regarded as an aesthetic crudeness, the thick chrome hoop became the Targa's distinctive touch, which is still added today on modern versions.
The car on offer here is one of the very first 2.2Ts produced. Launched on 15 October 1969 in Germany, this car has an atypical configuration. While the black paintwork and associated seats are commonplace, the red carpets, like the lower part of the dashboard, are a rare option. Giving the interior a sporty accent, this little detail sets this car apart from other 911s. Another desirable option is the 5-speed gearbox.
It will remain in Germany until 2019, when it is acquired by its current owner. He then undertook a restoration of this beautiful Porsche. Inside, the black leather upholstery is in very good condition, as is the dashboard, which has been characteristic of 911s from the very beginning to the present day.
We offer you the opportunity to acquire a beautiful 911 type 901 in an elegant colour that will turn heads as you drive by.
