Ref 71
1967 Porsche 911 S 2.0 Litre
Registration Number: EU registered Chassis Number: 11800505
The S boasted modifications typical of a higher-performance Porsche: reprofiled cam, larger valves, better porting, loftier compression (9.8:1 vs. 9.0), larger jets for the Weber carbs (which were otherwise much like those given to the base 911 from early '66).
The result was 30 more horsepower for a total 180 horsepower and torque improved fractionally, to 127 pound-feet, but peaked fully 1,000 rpm higher.
Unlike other models, the S lacked a choke, but pumping the accelerator was usually enough for starting. On the other hand, merely blipping the throttle on the freer-breathing S would send the tach needle zinging to its 7,300 rpm redline. Porsche thus wisely fitted an ignition cutout that interrupted spark to the plugs near maximum revs, thus protecting the valvetrain from overly enthusiastic drivers.
Naturally, the S also received chassis upgrades to match its extra power. These included a rear anti-roll bar (augmenting the one in front), Koni shocks, ventilated instead of solid-rotor disc brakes all-round and, soon to be a 911 hallmark, pretty, five-spoke Fuchs alloy wheels that cut five pounds from the unsprung weight at each hub.
S gear ratios were evenly spaced except for the five-speed transmission's overdrive top, which was purposely very "high." It gave 100 mph at 4,200 rpm, hardly a strain for the free-revving flat-six. Pulling max rpm in the lower gears netted 0-60 in eight seconds or less and ran a standing quarter-mile of under 16 seconds at 90-plus mph.
Finished in silver with a black leather interior, this example was delivered in Germany to its first owner on 23rd December 1967.
According to the vendor the car is in very good condition throughout having just had a full engine rebuild including new pistons and barrels and ninety percent new internals.
A comprehensive body restoration including re-trim was also completed and finished in its original colour of metallic silver with black leather interior.
The original optional extras include tinted glass, electric sunroof, external thermometer, Blaupunkt stereo and leather trim. Supplied with a UK registration document, a year’s MoT certificate, receipts and the original owner’s handbook.
Dieser 911 S befindet sich nach den Angaben des Einlieferers in sehr gutem Zustand, eine umfassende Motorrevision, bei der 90% der Motorteile erneuert wurden, wurde erst gerade abgeschlossen. Ebenso wurde die Karrosserie restauriert und neu in der Originalfarbe silber-metallik lackiert, das schwarze Lederinterieur wurde gleichfalls erneuert.
Estimate: €42,000 - €52,000
