• Desirable early example of Porsche’s iconic first-generation 911
• Retains its matching-numbers 2-litre flat-six engine, which delivers 130 horsepower via a five-speed manual transmission
• Originally finished in Aga Blue over Black leatherette and Pepita houndstooth cloth inserts; subsequently repainted and now presented in dark blue
• Accompanied by copies of its Kardex factory data sheet, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and report from marque expert Andy Prill

Completed in late-1965 and built to 1966 model year specification, this example of Porsche’s celebrated first-generation 911 was delivered new in Hanover, Germany to nobleman Friedrich Carl Graf von Hardenberg. According to an accompanying copy of the Kardex factory data sheet (available to view on file), the car was finished in Aga Blue while the interior was trimmed with Black leatherette featuring Pepita houndstooth cloth inserts and specified with a Webasto heater.

Subsequently exported to the United States, the 911 is believed to have been damaged during the early 1990s—with a Californian title issued in 1995 recording the car as “salvaged”. The Porsche was duly restored and repainted, its Beverly Hills-based owner retaining possession until 2002. After passing through a couple more American custodians, the car returned to Germany. It was bought by the consigning owner in 2014.

Today, chassis number 302869 has been repainted in a dark blue hue that complements its factory-correct Black leatherette and Pepita seats. Notably, this 911 retains its matching-numbers 2-litre flat-six engine making 130 horsepower via a five-speed manual transmission. An accompanying Andy Prill report notes that the car presents well but is in older restored condition, while requiring attention to panel gaps, headlining, missing trim, and other minor details. Accordingly, the car will require some recommissioning prior to use.
