1969 Porsche 911 2.2 S Targa No reserve Swedish registration Chassis no. 911 031 0298 Engine no. 630 1114 - Exceptional original condition, original mechanics - Precious historical file - Only two owners from 1970 to 2009 - Superb light yellow (Hellgelb) hue - No reserve The particularity of this car is that it is in an extraordinary state of origin, complemented by an impressive history file. Sold new in Frankfurt via Porsche Glöckler with export registration to William Keating, a Californian buyer from Walnut Creek, it was sent to the USA where it was sold in 1983 to its second owner, Edward Fry Alameda, who kept it until 2009. It was discovered in 2019 at a German dealer by a friend of Staffan Wittmark, who was quick to acquire it, won over by its exceptional original condition. The bodywork appears to have never been disassembled, and the very old paintwork retains a beautiful sheen. Two fog lights are fitted on either side of the hood, which may have been repainted, and the front and rear compartments are in a surprisingly well-preserved state. Inside, no doubt completely original, the seats show no marks or tears, and the most obvious sign of wear is on the speaker flap, warped by the sun. The dashboard is fitted with a Blaupunkt car radio, and the car still features its original engine, rebuilt in 1991 by the second owner. In addition to the German customs certificate dated January 30, 1970, the file includes California tax payment certificates, the original stamped service book from 1970 to 1996, numerous invoices since 1982 and a set of spare keys. Based on the service book and the condition of the car, we can assume that the 43,295 km on the odometer correspond to an original mileage of 143,295 km. This 911 S Targa is one of the best preserved of the model's survivors, given that it is extremely rare to find a car in good original condition, never restored. In its beautiful light yellow hue (Hellgelb number 6210 code 117), it will enable its new owner to understand what the first Porsche 911 buyers could feel, at the wheel of a car that has retained all its period integrity. - Exceptional original condition, original engine - Invaluable history file - Only two owners from 1970-2009 - Superb light yellow paintwork ('Hellgelb') - No reserve What makes this car stand out is its exceptional original condition, along with its impressive history file.
