1968 Porsche 912 Coupe
A left-hand drive 1968 Porsche 912, the four-cylinder counterpart to the 911, this example spent its entire first ownership in California before being imported to the United Kingdom in 2018. Having accumulated fewer than 30,000 miles from new, it subsequently underwent a bare-metal repaint in Slate Grey and a precautionary engine rebuild. The original five-dial dashboard and black leatherette interior remain intact, and the car is presented on period-correct five-blade Fuchs alloy wheels.
