A 1968 Porsche 911S 2.0-litre short-wheelbase coupé, chassis 11800760, representing one of the final examples of the early SWB generation. Delivered new to Italy on 1 June 1968 with Italian-market indicators, a five-speed gearbox, and the Tangerine over black leatherette colour scheme, the car has been in Belgium since 1987. Numbers and colours match throughout, and the original interior is retained. An older restoration underpins its current well-maintained, usable condition.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
