A first-year Porsche 911S, chassis 308283S, completed at the Zuffenhausen factory on 29 May 1967 and originally delivered to a Munich buyer through the Mahag dealership. Retaining its matching-numbers engine and transaxle, the car was comprehensively restored in 2017 by Kundensport and associated specialists, with the engine rebuilt to a mildly enhanced specification.

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.
