History

This car has been built with the underside finish as good as the top side. Supplied new in 1966 this car was finished new in special paint code 6412 – Bali Blue. The car retains many of its original special features, which are unique to very early 911 examples, such as the Green backed instrument dials, 4-screw front horn grilles, etc…and retains all original wings and panels.

In recent years this car has been converted to F.I.A. competition specification and has been a regular entrant at many historic races, including Gentleman Drivers series and many more. – Preparation work has been carried out by ASM Team and 1965 2.0 911 race specialist – Duel Motorsport. The car has been substantially lightened and is fitted with a full roll-cage, race seat and harness. It is also fitted with a quick-fill 100 litre fuel tank, Solex carburetors, plumbed in fire extinguisher system, shorter gearbox ratios, front oil-cooler, 5.5” Fuchs and Dunlop Racing tyres, rain light etc…

In the late 1950s, Porsche began working on what would be an entirely new model to replace the 356. The result was the creation of what has become one of the longest-running and most successful sports-car models in modern automotive history – the Porsche 911. Whilst the DNA of the original design can still be recognized in today’s 911 models, these very rare, early 1965, 2.0 short-wheelbase cars remain the purest of all 911s in both design and performance. In recent years they have also become highly sought after, not only by collectors but also by those wishing to drive them in historic events and F.I.A. competition, for which they are eminently competitive and eligible within F.I.A. (Pre 1965) – Period F.
