Any ideas how many 2.0s lwb cars were made in rhd,thinking of buying back my dads old car its been in a lock up for the last 10 years with another owner.Its kind of special as it was the first porsche i drove at the age of 18, 30 years ago!!
The other good thing about the car is its blood orange,it was also very rusty 30 years ago!
 
You must get this car back! I think there were about 1500 coupes made not shure of the no of rhd. dont think about the cost just buy and enjoy! Berny.
 
Oh yes, you must get this car, I have a 1968 2.0s swb rhd and have asked the same question.

Answers vary but it seems there are maybe 6 left on the road

Having said that, if anybody here knows any different I would love to know

Please buy this car especially if it was your farthers, it`s an amazing opportunity.

Regards, Mike.
 
oh yes,
its got to be done. and the price of these cars is still on the up. making restoration well worth while.

not that any of us buy these cars for anything other than the pleasure of owning/driving them [8D]
 
I have a 69S with 2ltr engine, mechanical fuel injection and lwb. From memory I understand there were 49 imported to the UK in that year.

Unfortunately not much original left of mine!
 
No news yet,still working on getting him to part with it,be it all in pieces anyway.
I am sure it will happen at some point

 
Paul, from my records there were 1492, 911S Porsche bodied coupes made in 1969 model year from chassis number 119300001 to 119301492. There were also 614, 911S Targa cars made in 1969 from chassis number 119310001 to 119310614. The records say 36 coupes and 2 Targas were imported into the UK in 1969. In my opinion you should do everything to buy the car and get it back on the road. Happy Christmas.
 
Hello Robin, do your records show how many 1968 911 S cars were made and how many were right hand drive

Cheers, Mike,
 
Hi Mike, the records are very interesting but a bit slow to look through as they are in hard copy. For the 1968 model year from end August 1967 to December 31 there were 22 x 911 RHD S Coupes imported and 2 LHD S Targa models making a total of 24 x 911 S cars. From January 1st 1968 to July 31st 1968 there were another 13 x 911 S models imported as 11 coupes and 2 targas. The total number of 911 S models imported into UK for model year 1968 is 37 cars of which 33 were RHD coupes (including 5 Sportomatics) 4 were LHD UK spec cars (including 2 Targas). The most popular colour was Bahama Yellow 8 cars, then Tangerine and Polo Red with 6 each, then Light Ivory with 5 and Burgundy Red with 4, then Sand Beige and Silver with 2 each, then with 1 car each is Dolphin Grey, Ossi Blue, Indigo Blue, and Black. What I do not know is how many of those cars imported in MY1968 still exist today. When the records that I am using were collated, only 7 of the 37 imported were on the clubs Early 911 Register, these were 6 coupes and 1 targa, Ian Mcleod may be able to help further with todays records but finding out what still exists and where they are will be an almost impossible job for someone to do? In the meantime have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
 
Thankyou Robin, for taking the time to do that.

And thanks for the link to the Early 911 Register.

Looks like mine was the Dolphin Grey car [:)], although it`s Albert Blue now.

Regards, Mike.
