The Porsche 911 is the flagship of the German manufacturer. It
has a distinctive design. rear-engined with independent rear
suspension. an evolution of the swing axle used for the Porsche
356. Since its introduction in 1963. the 911 has undergone
continuous development although the basic concept has remained
little changed. Throughout its lifetime. the 911 has been
modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing. br/>rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most
successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911
had a flat six engine in the 'boxer' configuration. similar to the
356. air-cooled. rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to
a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox. The car had four
seats although. as the rear seats were quite small. the car is
usually referred to as a 2+2 rather than a four-seater. Styling was
largely by Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche. son of Ferdinand 'Ferry'
Porsche. although Erwin Komenda. who was the leader of the Porsche
car body construction department. was also involved.

This excellent and very original. lefthand drive Porsche 911 SWB
has recently been imported to the UK from Oregon. USA. It was
supplied. when new. to Mr. Lewis C. George of Lomalinda. California
and he kept the car until 1977 when it was sold to Mr. John Pate
who lived in Ridgecreast. California and from the invoices that
come with the car. it was still in his ownership in 2010. Finished
in blue with black interior. this 911 is supplied with its service
book pack which includes the original handbook. service record book
and the Blaupunkt radio information sheets. The car will have a UK
V5C registration document. it has an MoT test certificate which
expires in October 2015 and a history file containing invoices for
works carried out. With Porsche prices increasing over the last few
months these desirable 911 SWB models are a good investment for the
future.
