1965 Porsche 912

351684roadGermany

A 1965 Porsche 912 purchased in the Netherlands on Christmas Eve as a gift from a wife to her husband, this left-hand-drive four-cylinder Porsche carries its original Dutch registration 94-47-AE and retains its original interior. Used regularly for over two decades before being parked around 1989, the car was rediscovered after nearly thirty years of dry storage with just 50,137 km on the odometer, presenting an unusually intact, low-mileage survivor.

Are you the owner of this car?

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.
