Lot No. 553
Estimate: £130,000 - £150,000
Buyers Premium 12.5% + VAT
A stunning, UK right-hand drive, AFN Supplied SWB 2.0 S Coupe
Believed to be the first sold and registered right-hand drive 1968 M/Y ‘S’
Twin Weber 40IDS carbs and a higher compression ratio resulted in 160bhp
Remaining with its first owner until 2000, some 33 years and only three recorded keepers since
Sympathetic restoration carried out to the highest level utilising all factory parts as required
Complete engine rebuild by Francis Tuthill with minimal use since
Still retains its original Elephant Hide seats
Original registration number – OUW 6F – has been reassigned
The 1967/68 'O-Series' 911S was the first of five decades of more powerful developments of the one that started it all, the 911 2.0-litre from 1964. #11800138 (OUW 6F) was manufactured on 17/8/1967 and is the 138th 911'S' off the production line. It's believed to be one of just two right-hand drive 911S models that were delivered to AFN as the first of the 1968 model year. One of the two became the AFN demonstrator with this particular example being sold to a Mr Berry of Market Harborough and is probably the first UK sold and registered, right-hand drive 1968 'S'. It remained in his ownership until 2000 when it was sold at auction and it has been enjoyed by just three recorded keepers since. During Mr Berry's ownership, the Porsche underwent a colour change to red from its original Ivory White and in the hands of its second owner it was treated to a complete engine rebuild by Francis Tuthill and the associated invoice remains in the history file. From this point, things moved forward and whilst with its third owner a sympathetic restoration commenced. The ‘S’ was stripped to a bare shell and rebuilt from the ground up utilising as many of the original parts as possible. New front wings, door skins, front panel and sills were replaced – all acquired through Porsche before the shell was once again refinished back to its original factory shade. The interior was retrimmed where required however the original Elephant Hide Seats were saved, it was also noted at this time that the dash top signature and VIN number were still in place as it left the factory in 1967 such was the originality! The engine, gearbox and running gear were all refurbished and detailed before being refitted.
This particular 911S is thought to be as close as you will find, to being as it rolled off the production line some fifty-three years ago and comes complete with a full photographic record of the rejuvenation, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, various invoices and an original, but snapped, key!
An opportunity then to tick that box and acquire what must surely be one of the best early 2.0S 911s on the market today.
This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.
