1964 Porsche 901

300082roadGermany

Engine: Flat-six, original unit no. 900192
Colour: Enamel Blue

Chassis 300082 is among the earliest Porsche 901/911 coupés ever built, completed on 12 November 1964 as one of only 232 cars produced before the year's end, and one of four finished that day. Originally delivered to Parisian distributor Sonauto in December 1964, it retains its original engine (no. 900192) and bodywork. After a period configured for historic racing, the car was comprehensively restored in its factory-correct Enamel Blue with a properly sourced early interior, and appeared at the 2018 Zoute Concours d'Elegance.
