DESCRIPTION
Porsche introduced the 912 in 1965 as the successor to the 356; it had all the modernity of the 911 and trusted mechanics of the outgoing 356. In 1966 it actually outsold the 911 worldwide but the UK was slow to acknowledge the great handling and looks as the USA market couldn't get enough. This has become significant as the comparatively low numbers sold in the UK means that today we have to look to the US to satisfy prospective European owners of this 'cult classic'.
Offered here is an original US car that was owned by Duane Spencer, the author of 'The Complete Porsche 912 Guide'. As the title suggest, it's a very comprehensive guide (copy included) and offers a good, informative read for a prospective buyer.
Finished in Guards Red with new black interior, this 912 is restored to a very good standard. Also fitted is the factory option 5-speed dog-leg gearbox and five dial dash. The history file contains a lot of hand written accounts by Duane Spencer and catalogues the expenditure lavished on this pretty 912. It also contains a recent invoice showing an engine rebuild and new clutch amounting to over £6,000 and comes with an MOT until April 2014.
As the price of early 911s continues to rise, the 912 version represents a realistic alternative with 'icon status' and superior handling to match.
