1967 PORSCHE

The car is a 1967 RHD UK car, with matching numbers engine, and factory fitted sunroof.

Fewer than 100 UK 912's were made, with less than 60 known to have survived.

The sunroof option is very rare, as this pushed the price close to a 911 at the time.

As a result, this is just one of two remaining examples.

First supplied by AFN to a Mrs Mitchell of Beaconsfield in April 1967.

I have owned the car since 2009, during which time it has been extensively restored.

Car has had bare metal/screens out respray in period correct Porsche Silver (96024).

Car was media blasted to find any corrosion, and there is an extensive list of replacement panels, including:

Both floor halves

Both door skins

Inner and outer sills

Full rear quarters (these had to come from Porsche in Germany and cost £2.5k).

Total bill from the bodyshop, excluding parts, was £13k.

I have been as sympathetic as possible with trim/brightwork, not wanting to over restore. I have retained/refurbed trim where possible, but if beyond help, eg horn grilles/rear overriders, it was replaced. In addition, hardware and seals have been replaced when re-assembling.

I have lots of photos taken by the bodyshop whilst being restored which may be of interest to potential purchaser. Car has only done a couple of thousand miles since restoration, always garaged and never driven in the wet.

The engine has been stripped down and cleaned/resprayed, with replacement parts where needed.

Compression test was good, and car was running well prior to restoration, so didn’t have to dig too deep.

Carbs have been stripped and rebuilt, as has petrol pump. Electronic ignition has also been fitted.

Brakes have had a full overhaul.

Original Nadella driveshafts have been fully refurbished by Chris Flavell at Fenn Lane, with new bearings.

Full interior re-trim in dark red at a cost of £3k, along with full period correct dark grey carpet from Lakewell in Germany for interior, and also the trunk area.

Much sought after five green dial dash.

Factory optional five speed dogleg gearbox.

Comprehensive overhaul with Revival Cars in October 2020 (invoice totalled just over £11k).

The loom has had a good going over, with new wiring/connections where necessary, so all now in working order.

Wheels have been polished and new tyres fitted.

Have box file full of paperwork/invoices + copy of the factory Kardex.

In the interests of balance, only fair to point out that there are a few jobs still to do:

Sunroof winds manually, but motor needs a refurb.

New headliner needs to be fitted once sunroof working.

Small oil leak, not significant.

There are a few small trim pieces to be refitted.

Clock not working.
