This Porsche 911 SWB is a very early ‘301 series’ example of the iconic classic sports car, retaining its factory colour scheme and matching-numbers engine. Powered by a 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, delivering power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1965, this car was supplied to the US market, to its first owner in South Carolina. It is understood this first custodian kept the car for two years, covering some 27,000 miles. The car was treated to extensive restoration work, including an engine overhaul and a gearbox rebuild by Porsche specialist Graham Everett Motorsport in Georgia between 2014 and 2015. More recently, it was imported to the UK and registered with the DVLA in 2019. The odometer shows 52,684 miles, though this is not warranted. Equipment and features Built in May 1965, this is a sought-after ‘301 series’ chassis from the 911’s first full calendar year of production. The car is finished in its original factory colour scheme of Signal Red over a black interior. Its factory specification included a tinted windscreen and Webasto panel heater.
