During the final quarter of 1967 Porsche introduced their new 2.0 litre A-Series of which there were four variants including the Luxury L and Sporty S, all could be ordered in Targa or Coupe format. The 911T (Touring) was a Europe only option for 1968 with the 901/03 flat six engine of 110bhp at 5800rpm with 116 ft lbs torque at 4600rpm. The 1968 model would be the last of the 911 SWB, it would evolve into the 2.0 B-Series LWB of 1969 of which this example is one. By moving the rear wheels back 2.4 inches the model enjoyed more predictable handling at speed, increased stability and some would say less 'twitchy' than previous models whilst opening the door for increased performance.
This example is an early chassis, carrying a product date of December 1968 but being a 1969 model year car. It was shipped to Porsche Cars Pacific Inc in California and registered on 15th February 1969. The Certificate of Authenticity states optional equipment included the five-speed manual gearbox and initially the car was Burgundy Red with a brown interior. First registered in the UK in February 1991 some twenty years later, the history file confirms the car was with Specialist Cars in Malton. Extensive work was carried out at this time including a bare metal refresh of the silver metallic hue the 911T was now carrying. Also, a top end rebuild, clutch and uprated calipers resulted in internal invoices at over £15,000 prior to an MoT test certificate at 33,526 miles, then delivery to a new owner in central London. The file shows the car was driven regularly and serviced by a Porsche specialist until 2017 at 39,771 miles.
Tom Hutchinson at Keys Motorsport (Ferrari Specialists Silverstone) acquired the car in early 2020 and would attend to a long list of improvements and service items during his ownership including removing the engine and gearbox to re-colour the bay area. The current owner took over in April 2024 at 43,952 miles and has taken this 911 to another level with the help of PRO-9 Porsche specialists in Redditch. A complete engine rebuild including new crankshaft, renovated cambox with S Spec camshafts. Rebore and S pistons with 3.2 fuel pump, starter motor plus all ancillaries either uprated or reconditioned resulting in 160bhp/140ft lbs torque recorded on the dyno. The gearbox was stripped/rebuilt whilst the suspension also enjoyed new Bilstein rear shocks, Bilstein front inserts, competition anti roll bars, adjustable spring plates, poly bushes plus full geometry. A further list of numerous smaller jobs plus an interior retrim of seats and dash panels resulted in a total spend of over £23,000.
This Porsche 911T Coupe is now the complete package, over the years it has certainly benefitted from ample funding but right now with the recent investment the car is reaching the pinnacle in both performance and appearance. The 911T is appreciated for its mechanical engagement, steering feedback and handling, a pure driving experience. Now this 'T' enjoys greatly enhanced agility to complement a one-third increase in power with those small concessions to modern tech which further increase the model's reliability. This package offers the perfect option for those considering classic Porsche ownership, a matching numbers example that presents correctly both inside and out. Brought up to date and improved without affecting character, carrying the heritage you can feel and hear with every gear change. Consigned by James Good
