NO RESERVE: 1971 PORSCHE 911 T 2.2

KEY FACTS

• A charming sports car, which benefits from a comprehensive restoration by a Porsche specialist, now back in its original factory colour scheme.
• Under the engine lid is a 125hp 2.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.
• An original US-market car, it was imported to the UK and re-registered in November 2002

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• As part of the full restoration from 2006 to 2009, the car was returned to its original Pastel Blue colour, and its seats have been re-upholstered in black leatherette with ‘basketweave’ centre panels.
• The exterior features rubber ‘buffers’ on the rear bumper horns, as well as a chromed finish to the Fuchs alloys - as per the factory specification. Period-correct details also include the ‘2.2’ rear window sticker.

Factory options:

• Rubber buffers on bumper horns
• Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio
• Competition steering wheel
• Top-tinted windscreen
• Chrome wheels

CONDITION

• Its extensive restoration was commissioned at Porsche specialist Ninemeister, with a full engine rebuild followed by total bare-metal body restoration, repainting, and reassembly - all of which was meticulously documented with hour-by-hour work notes that can be seen in the gallery.
• The bodywork is in great shape following its restoration between 2007 and 2008. The engine lid and rear number plate panel are known to have been replaced with new parts, but otherwise it appears that only minor repairs were needed.
• Its Pastel Blue paint finish remains superb, as can be appreciated in the photos below.
• The interior was re-trimmed by Porsche specialist Southbound as part of the restoration, and it was clearly executed to a very high standard.
• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was on 27 June 2020 at 42,946 miles, when it achieved a first-time pass with no advisories or defects noted.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 911 T 2.2 is a very well-presented classic sports car, which has seen limited use since its nut-and-bolt restoration was completed in 2009. For someone seeking a 1970s air-cooled 911 that wants for nothing, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a beautifully finished example.
