A 1969 Porsche 911 S Coupé from the revised 'B' series, retaining its matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox as verified by a copy of the Kardex factory build record. Delivered new in January 1969 to Mestre, near Venice, in the rare Koenigsblau finish — a colour then reserved for the 356 — with a bespoke black leatherette and basketweave interior. The car was later documented in Borgetto, near Palermo, and shows evidence of a prior restoration.

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.
