1970 Porsche 911E Coupe Barn Find

Porsche's 911E model of 1969-1973 essentially replaced the short-lived 911L (Lux). The 911E was designed to be the more comfortable, more drivable version of the 911 - fitting between the tamer 911T (Touring) and the high-performance type 911S (Super or Sport). In these years, the least-expensive model in Porsche's range was the 912, followed by the type 914. The 911E's designation derives from the German word for injection: einspritzung. The mechanical fuel injection "MFI" system used on the 911E (and 911S) was jointly-developed by Bosch and Porsche. It is similar to the injection system used in the Carrera 6 of 1966 and in addition to more precise control of the fuel-air mixture and equality of distribution among the cylinders (compared to carburettors), the MFI contributed toward meeting the US emissions control regulations of the time.

Offered here is a classic barn find supplied with an early UK V5 showing 3 owners. Thought to have been untouched for 15-20 years, this is a 6 cylinder 2.2 911E coupe, originally in Green but now in Red.
