Lot 283: 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe

The year after production of the legendary 911 had commenced in 1964, Porsche introduced the similarly bodied 912 as an entry level model to the prestigious German marque. As such, it shared its monocoque steel chassis with that of the 911, together with independent front torsion bar and trailing arm rear suspension with all-round disc brakes. At the 912's heart, however, was a 1,582cc flat four cylinder engine - rather than the 911's 1,991cc six cylinder unit.This particular 912 was imported from the sunny state of Nevada by Porsche specialist Tower Porsche in 2000. At this time a pre-purchase inspection was carried out which accompany's the car. Since then its Porsche enthusiast owner has carried out a considerable amount of remedial work to include a full engine rebuild by a Porsche specialist. Currently providing reliable everyday transport this well cared for example is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. The car comes with V5, MOT certificate valid until September 2005, a copy of the original Certificate of Title and all invoices pertaining to work carried out upon the car since reaching the UK.Estimate £7,000 - £9,000
