The car
1972 is the collector year: the external oil filler flap on the rear quarter was used for a single season before Porsche moved the tank back. This is a genuine Ölklappe car, restored in 2019 and used properly since.
The shell was taken back to bare metal, repaired where needed and refinished in its original Gemini Blue. Mechanically it is on the button — injection pump set up on the rolling road, fresh fuel lines throughout.
It drives the way an early 911 should: light, urgent and completely lucid.
