At Monaco, next month, this classic but striking 1965 Porsche 911 is heading to auction through RM Sotheby's, the sports car by excellence.
History of the Porsche 911
When Porsche wanted to improve its 365 a completely new model has to be created for more space for the occupants and storage for all set of golf clubs :-). Ferdinand Porsche, the eldest son of Ferry Porsche was in charge of the design while his cousin Ferdinand Piëch developped the engine.
The new model was presented at Frankfurt in 1963 as the 901 but thanks to Peugot changed to 911 (Peugeot claims the right to three-digit car with zero in the middle).
Technical Specification
Great restoration with the original silver color and many factory options (outside door mirror, Dunlop tyres, Blaupunkt radio, double head rests...).
