1970 Porsche 911 S

9110301049roadGermany

Engine: 2.2L flat-six, 180 hp
Colour: Tangerine

A 1970 Porsche 911 S coupe finished in Tangerine over black leatherette, built for the US market and equipped with the 2.2-litre flat-six producing 180 hp. One of only a small number originally exported to the United States, this car retains its original matching-numbers engine and has passed through just three owners over its lifetime. With documented low mileage at the time of its most recent acquisition and largely original paintwork, it represents a well-preserved example of a particularly desirable pre-1973 variant.
