A lovely restored example of a classic Porsche which was sold new in Verona Italy. The car remained in Italy and after a period in Pavia the car arrived in Holland in 2004. The car features an S package (all instruments and steering wheel), an S front spoiler and is finished in classic Elfenbein white (Originally the car was a rare color Seeblue). The enthusiastic owner had a lot of detail work done to the car at a well known Porsche specialist. In 2008 the car changed hands and entered in a large Porsche collection and in 2009 the car was restored and repainted at a well known Porsche specialist. The engine was partially rebuilt, the cylinder heads rebuilt, the gearbox rebuilt, the brakes rebuilt and a complete new stainless steel exhaust system fitted. In the interior the leather seats were retrimmed and new original carpets fitted as well as a new headlining. In 2019 the Porsche Classic centre gave the car some good attention and had the Fuchs alloy wheels restored with correct Pirelli CN 36 tyres, the dynamo rebuilt, new fuel lines, new wiring in the engine bay etc. etc.

The car comes with standard leather seats or if desired we can purchase a nice set of Recaro like seats with Pepita inserts which would suit the color well. The car has recently been serviced and is capable of daily driving or just enjoy it on a Sunday. The panel fit is in factory finish giving the nice sound when closing the doors.

So here we have a European matching number 911 2.4 E of the last model year of the classic 911 F series on which big sums of money have been spent at all the right specialists.

2.4 litre 6 cylinder with mechanical fuel injection giving 165 bhp, 220 km top speed and 0-100 km/h in 7,5 sec (factory data).

It’s a lovely car, correctly priced to sell. Please ask, thank you.

Model History

The Porsche 911 was developed as a more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company’s first model. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was developed with the proof-of-concept twin-fan Type 745 engine, and the car presented at the auto show had a non-operational mockup of the production single-fan 901 engine, receiving a working one in February 1964. It originally was designated as the ‘Porsche 901′ (901 being its internal project number). 82 cars were built as 901s. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars’ part numbers carried on the prefix 901 for years. Production of the first cars began in September 1964.

In 1966, Porsche introduced the more powerful 911 S with Type 901/02 engine, the power raised to 160 HP. Forged aluminum alloy wheels from Fuchs, in a distinctive 5-spoke design, were offered for the first time. In motor sport at the same time, the engine was developed into the Type 901/20, installed in the mid-engined Porsche 904 and Porsche 906 with 210 hp as well as the fuel injected Type 901/21 installed in the 906 and 910 with 220 hp.

The 2.4 litre series 911 introduced in 1971, consisted of the same models of 911 as earlier series, the entry level T, the midrange E and the top of the line S. The engine capacity was enlarged to 2341cc by using a longer stroke. The 911 2.4 benefited from the many improvements that had been made since the 1964 911. The 2.4 therefore is one of the best ‘classic’ 911’s. The 2.4’s were also very fast.

All models featured mechanical fuel injection except for the EU version of the T model. The T gave 130 bhp, the E 165 bhp and the S 190 bhp.

With the power and torque increases the 2.4 litre 911’s got a new stronger transmission (915), it was the first transmission that did away with the older style “dog-leg” transmission used in previous 911 series.
