- 'Bahama Yellow'
A 1969 Porsche 911 E, one of the first model year for this mid-range injection-equipped variant, originally completed at the factory on 13 May 1969 and delivered new to California in Bahama Yellow over black leatherette. The car retains its original engine and has spent the bulk of its life in California. A comprehensive restoration in 2014 returned it to factory colours, followed by mechanical updates at a Michigan specialist including timing chain, steering, and throttle components.
