1970 Porsche 911 S

KEY FACTS A rare and reportedly exceptionally well-documented Porsche 911 S 2.2. It is powered by a matching-numbers 2.2-litre flat-six, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. First registered in Switzerland in February 1970, it was subsequently imported to the UK in April 1990. The odometer indicates 90,342 km, though this is not warranted. This matching-numbers engine example boasts exceptional provenance, including its original Swiss order contract, ownership by noted Porsche specialist Marco Marinello then Porsche aficionado Fred Hampton, a 1998 Goodwood Festival of Speed display, and almost 20 years in current ownership with nearly £100,000 of documented workshop expenditure. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This example is finished in a timeless shade of silver over a black leatherette and corduroy cloth-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in satin-black with anodised 'petal' spokes and lips, fitted with Michelin XWX tyres. Equipment includes Recaro seats, a sliding roof, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, an analogue clock, a Blaupunkt push-button radio, heater and ventilation controls, push-out rear quarter light windows, and speakers in the doors. The car has been modified with an electronic ignition conversion and upgraded modern fuse boards. The car is reportedly accompanied by the owner's manual, tool kit, an extensive collection of service history documentation, and two keys.
