Comments from the seller
1966 Porsche Short Wheelbase Coupe – an exceptionally well-presented, factory right-hand-drive car that combines the purity and charm of the early SWB chassis with the performance and drivability of a later 2.2-litre Porsche flat six.
This is a car that has been meticulously improved and sorted. It is a joy to be driven and enjoyed.
Power comes from a 1970 Porsche 911 2.2-litre engine (Type 911/07) breathing through rebuilt Zenith 40 TIN carburettors and paired with a 123 Ignition electronic distributor for excellent reliability and crisp performance. The engine delivers the unmistakable sound and character that made the early air-cooled 911 famous.
The car retains everything we love about the early short-wheelbase cars with:
- Factory right-hand drive.
- 2.2L type 911/07 Engine (perfect 150psi compresion on all cylinders)
- 901 five-speed dogleg gearbox with J West shifter, bearing cup, carrier bearing and coupler assembly making shifting a breeze.
- 123 Ignition Distributor
- Restored classic green faced instruments.
- New leather interior & Carpets
- New Kroon wiring harness from headlights to tail lamps and everything in between.
- New rubbers throughout.
- New Koni Suspension, turbo tie rods.
Over recent years the car has benefited from significant mechanical attention and ongoing maintenance. Numerous components have been rebuilt or renewed, including the carburettors, ignition system, seat hardware, heater controls, a new Kroon wiring harness including updated fuse box with headlight relays and blade fuses (looks original), door locks , stays and window mechanisms as well as a full leather trim to replace the vinyl plus so many other details that simply make the car enjoyable to own and drive.
It's equally at home being driven everyday, a Sunday morning drive, a club event or simply sitting pretty in the garage.
Included with the sale are 25 years of documentation, receipts and a range of spare parts accumulated during ownership.
Inspection is welcomed for genuine buyers.
