Description

This Swedish-sold car has had a total of 9 registered owners. The current owner has cherished it for an impressive 25 years, purchasing it from the previous owner who renovated the car in the late 1980s. Although the car has been repainted, there are some minor signs of bubbling under the paintwork in certain areas, as shown in the provided pictures. Nevertheless, the car still presents itself very well. The interior is in nice condition, exhibiting some wear that is expected with age. However, it remains complete, clean, and well-maintained. Notably, it features the factory option of a 5-gauge dashboard.

The engine underwent a comprehensive renovation, with all worn components replaced, and it was thoroughly bench-tested before being reinstalled in 2006. Since then, the car has only been driven for a mere 1900 km, as indicated in the accompanying invoice. The clutch was also replaced during the same time, and the brake system received a full renovation in 2007. The car's low usage is the sole reason for its current sale. The mileage stands at a minimum of 123,547 km, although it cannot be verified with certainty.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives smoothly, without any notable issues. It may benefit from a routine service if desired. It comes with attractive original steel wheels, complemented by chrome hubcaps and tires in good condition. A new battery was recently installed on May 10, 2023. Additionally, the car comes with two keys for added convenience.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is fully intact and retains its original features. An amp gauge and an old Blaupunkt radio have been added, although the radio is currently not connected. The dashboard has some lifting vinyl, and the gauges may have some dust behind the glass. The seats show standard wear associated with age, with a slight split in the stitching on the driver's seat. The carpets, door cards, and headliner, considering their age, remain in good condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    As previously mentioned, the car underwent renovations in the 1980s, which are evident with some signs of bubbling in the paintwork. However, there are no visible signs of rust on the bodywork, and it remains straight and presentable. The underbody is clean and free of rust, although there is evidence of previous work in the front tub area.

  • General condition:

    The car is currently in a perfectly enjoyable and drivable condition. You have the option to either continue driving and enjoying it as is or consider a body renovation and repaint, depending on your preferences and priorities.

Facts about the model

The term "912 Porsche" refers to a specific model of Porsche car that was produced from 1965 to 1969. The Porsche 912 was essentially a less expensive and less powerful variant of the iconic Porsche 911. It was introduced as an entry-level model to attract customers who desired the design and prestige of the 911 but preferred a more affordable option.

The Porsche 912 featured a four-cylinder engine instead of the six-cylinder engine found in the 911. The engine was a 1.6-liter flat-four air-cooled unit that produced around 90 horsepower. While the 912 was not as fast as the 911, it still offered a rewarding driving experience and excellent handling characteristics.

The 912 shared many design elements and components with the early 911 models, including its iconic styling, interior layout, and suspension setup. Visually, the 912 closely resembled the 911, making it difficult to distinguish between the two models at first glance. However, the 912 had subtle differences, such as different badging and chrome accents.
