1970 PORSCHE 911 S 2.2

KEY FACTS

• A stunning example of a classic flagship 911, presented in a timeless colour scheme.
• Under the engine lid is the 180hp 2.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, which drives the rear wheels via a five-speed dog-leg manual transmission.
• It has covered very few miles since a nut-and-bolt restoration.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The 1970 911 S retains the short-stroke flat-six engine and dog-leg gearbox from previous models, though with a stronger clutch and transmission, and much-improved electrics.
• Its engine incorporates a revised camshaft and larger valves, higher compression, and larger carburettor jets.
• Chassis upgrades on the ‘S’ included a rear anti-roll bar, Koni shock absorbers and ventilated disc brakes.
• This car rides on the correct 15-inch alloy wheels, and is fitted with BFGoodrich tyres.

CONDITION

• There is no known prior bodywork damage.
• Its Silver Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition, as shown in the photo gallery.
• The brightwork around the car is also in great shape, with a highly polished appearance.
• The Fuchs alloys have a few blemishes and deterioration of the paint on the coloured crest centre caps.
• Inside, its re-trimmed leather upholstery is in superb order, with no wear or damage.
• A few marks can be seen on the steering wheel, handbrake lever and dial covers, which are all believed to be original.
• No electrical faults have been detected.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car has received an extensive, nut-and-bolt restoration; as can be appreciated from an inspection of the clean engine bay or under the carpet in the front boot.
• It is offered in excellent mechanical condition, having been driven sparingly since the refurbishment.
