This Porsche 911 S was sold new at Bologna, in Italy, on 10 April 1970. It was finished in ‘Condagrün’ (code 26), with a black leatherette interior. In the 2010s, it was completely restored by Automobilia, a specialist in Reims, and sold in April 2016 directly to Staffan Wittmark, who was won over by the model and its colour. At this point, it was registered in Varese, in Italy.
The car appears not to have been driven since its restoration, which was evidently carried out with great care. The magnificent bright green paintwork has been well applied. The rear compartment has been fully restored and has the original engine, while at the front, the boot shows that all the panels have received attention. The jack and tool kit are present. The car sits on Fuchs wheels.
The interior has also been restored, with seats in leatherette and ‘Pepita’ cloth typical of Porsche and of which our client is fond; the dashboard is in good condition and correct for the model.
With its air-cooled 2.2-litre ‘six’ developing 180bhp, this Porsche 911 S is one of the first versions of this classic from Stuttgart. Its body still has the pure styling of the original cars, without the front spoiler which was added shortly afterwards. This 911 S is thus from a model year which is rare and sought after by collectors; with its original engine and striking ‘Condagrün’ colour, it has a very special appeal.
