1965 Porsche 911 (short-wheelbase, early series)
- Engine
- Rebuilt 2.2L flat-six (replacement unit, uprated from original displacement)
Chassis 300751 is among the earliest thousand Porsche 911s produced, leaving Stuttgart in 1965 and registered in Sweden on 27 September of that year. A genuine short-wheelbase first-generation example, it is documented by period photographs showing participation in a Nürburgring event. The car remained with its first Swedish owner for approximately five decades before passing by inheritance to his son, and subsequently to the present consignor. In 2019 its unnumbered factory replacement engine underwent a full rebuild with an enlargement to 2.2-litre displacement.
