An exceptional sports car, the Porsche 911 has been a living legend ever since it was introduced in 1964. Although it underwent many changes affecting above all its chassis and engine, its styling evolved only slightly. In 1969, the 911's engine was increased in size to 2.2 litres, its power output rising to 180bhp.
Capable of staggering performance compared with the other cars of its day, it could reach a top speed of 230kph (143mph)| its roadholding meanwhile was improved with better weight distribution (42% to the front and 58% to the rear) and wider wheels and tyres. There were only minor changes to its appearance: a spoiler was fitted at the front, first on the 911 S and then on the other models in the range. Finally, the oil filler was now located behind the passenger door, hidden under a flap, but the confusion this caused with the fuel filler made Porsche decide to return to its original location under the engine cover! Easy to use every day, capable of racking up the miles at speed with the marque's legendary reliability, but just as quick and effective in competition, the 911 has become a ‘Swiss Army knife' greatly appreciated by amateur racing drivers. Whether in short-wheelbase or RS form, all the versions of the 911 are of interest, but the 2.2 S is one of the most sought-after and fully developed versions for roadgoing use before the G-series cars appeared.
The model we are presenting is a 911 2.2 S delivered new by the Porsche dealership in Toulouse on 23 March 1970. It is finished in its vibrant original Signal Orange paint (1414), as the Porsche certificate issued to its current owner in 2014 corroborates.
