As per title.

If you could order any factory fresh 911, from any era, which would you choose and why?

Assume the following:

1. You can only spec the car as it originally was from that era, i.e. no modernising or backdating etc.

2. You cannot base your choice on 'best residuals'!

3. Dont forget to add the reason(s) why you would order your chosen model!

My choice?

911 Carrera 3.2 Clubsport.



Why?
This was one of a handfull of cars that Porsche created by taking things away to make it drive better, instead of adding extra bling and weight to make more profit.

1967 - 1968 911 R

it was a very close call between that and the 73 RSR, that video of hurley haywood driving his around sebring after all those years has really gotten to me but the earlier R nudges it i think.





if you havent seen the video,

This and of course with the 3.6

Would settle for dark blue but has to have linen interior either way wink

Good choice - although would you settle for silver with black Interior? And not quite factory fresh but as close as you can get. Opportunity for gratuitous pics ... again smile

Otherwise, a 76 2.7 Targa. I just have a thing for them.

A 1967 911s please.

It was the first 911 I ever drove and I remember it like yesterday, despite being over 20 years ago.

One day, I hope to own my own.
