The seller offers for sale this Porsche 911 2.4 L SWB from 1968, an early short-wheelbase example powered by a 2.0-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission . The car underwent a restoration by a French specialist, with complete invoices and an official French valuation report available. Finished in its original Ossi Blue colour (code 6803), the bodywork is in good condition and shows no visible rust. The interior is presented in factory style with elements functioning as they should, including a period Visseux radio. Mechanically, the car operates smoothly with no starting issues, smoke, or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts correctly and quietly. Enhancements include Weber carburettors, stainless steel exhaust lines, a metallic aerokit brake circuit and five Fuchs alloy wheels. The car holds a valid technical inspection.
The early Porsche 911 SWB models are widely appreciated for their raw, agile character and close connection to the original 911 driving experience.
