1965 PORSCHE 912 SWB FULL RESTORATION PROJECT

912

The original air-cooled SWB F-bodied
Porsches are and will continue to be one of the most sought after 60s classic
cars ever, not only in the world of collectors but also restorers and we are
delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for someone to restore this very
early 912 example.

Our 912 is understood to have been
built on 24^th May 1965 and would have rolled out of the Karmann
factory finished in Champagne Yellow with green leather interior. It was
destined for Japan where it spent the entirety of its life until last year.

The car was imported to the UK as a
stripped shell with the owner having the intention to completely restore it. During
his custodianship, he has accumulated a number of parts and panels but unfortunately
due to ill health, the restoration hasn’t progressed any further, so now it is
time for someone to get stuck in and bring this 60s icon back to life.

The sale consists of….

The Bodyshell

The shell comes with a new floor pan
and replacement front wings, deck lid, doors, bonnet, rear ¼ panels and front
apron, all of which are in good condition, the rest of the shell, however, will
require extensive restoration.

The Paperwork

The Porsche comes with its NOVA, Kardex report and a letter from Porsche GB both confirming VIN No and build date.

Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to
restore a true 60s icon. Being a ground up restoration it is also sum what of a
blank canvass, the choices are endless as to how the finished car could look,
restored back to period perfect, restomod, historic rally car, all would look
fantastic, and with prices of nice examples now at around £60000 to £70000 a
project such as this starts to make a lot of sense.

As with all our restoration projects, we have described the Porsche honestly and with transparency allowing you to make an informed decision. We also highly recommend that you come and view the car which can be done by appointment at our Tewkesbury HQ, Mon -Sat.
