The 911 made its public debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1963, meeting all the specifications set by Dr. Porsche. The design resembled its predecessor but was more powerful, smoother, quieter, and offered more space for both passengers and luggage compared to the 356. The body of the 911 was functional and beautifully streamlined, with a timeless appearance. To this day, Porsche remains faithful to the original design.

In the 1972 production year, the engine displacement was increased to 2,341 cc (2.4 liters), giving the 911 T version a power output of 140 hp. A unique feature of the 1972 model year was that all 911s had an external oil filler cap on the right side, while the fuel filler opening was at the front left. This design sometimes caused confusion at gas stations, leading to the removal of the external oil filler cap the following year, making it a distinctive feature of this model year. Due to this exclusive characteristic, this version of the 2.4 series is highly sought after by collectors.

The Porsche 911 is the exception that proves the rule ‘to all good things comes an end’. This contemporary and luxurious, yet sporty, German sportscar was released in 1963. To this day, they are still being produced in large numbers. Also a range of variants has been developed to offer a tailor-made product range. Although the 911 has been refined over the decades, the basic design – which is recognisable and thus excellently done – has generally remained unchanged. This pragmatic and contemporary approach only Porsche could ever succeed in.

The 911 is the successor to the Porsche 356 and was designed by Ferdinand Porsche - the grandson of Porsche’s founder – and presented at the Frankfurt Auto Show in the autumn of 1963. In 1964, the first models were delivered to customers, and due to its great success, the 911 was soon expanded: a cheaper 912, a faster 911S and the rollbar equipped and extremely safe convertible Targa were released. This Targa was named after a Sicilian race that was year by year won by Porsche.

Initially, this car would be called the Porsche 901, but Peugeot became the headwind as their models were named by a three-digit number with a 0 in the middle. ‘Don’t worry’, said Porsche and they replaced the 0 with a 1. The evergreen Porsche 911 was born. After that, there was still Porsche cars built that were named with a three-digit number with a 0 in the middle, however those were exclusively intended for racing and circuit purposes, not for public roads.

Undoubtedly, the 911 has been modified over the years; as durable a design may be, times change, and cars do too. Porsche has always been prepared for changes and innovation. They gradually increased the engine displacement, the power and the size. The biggest mechanical change was the transition from air cooled engines to water cooled engine. Water cooled engines ensure an evenly cooled engine, which results in uniform combustion, which than results by a lower emission and better fuel economy.

Porsche 911 Ölklappe

In 1972, the 911s were equipped with an (additional) flap which, to the surprise of some, was not intended for refueling with gasoline... The extra flap on the rear right was actually meant for refilling oil, which many had overlooked, as they filled it with gasoline, the subsequent consequences of which we need not enumerate.

Less than a thousand Ölklappe models were built in 1972 and all Ölklappe models were 2.4 models, with or without carburetors.

The unique story behind the Ölklappe enjoys immense success among enthusiasts today; they are therefore rare and highly sought after as well.
