With only around 30,000 of the 912 built by Karmann between 1965 and 1967 on the original short wheelbase chassis ,the 912 is a relative rarity when compared to its sister car, the better-known 911.
Purchased and imported to the UK in 2016 the current enthusiast owner has spent over £20,000 in recent years to bring this 912 up to its current condition, including re-fitting the car’s original engine but with a useful extra 200cc.QJuNd7J0xNfW1iZ0oFpWFmoJcozRbAJhhfkBnpCk.jpeg263.45 KB
The Interior
Customised black leather interior
New headlining, door cards and carpets
Webasto heater
Stereo upgraded
Lecarra steering wheel
Good condition throughout
Fully retrimmed with a new dashboard, headlining and carpets the interior presents very well with the original Recaro seats being re-trimmed in black quilted leather along with matching door cards.
There are a few signs of wear on the gear lever and the sun visors could do with some attention but otherwise everything is all in a very presentable condition.
To combat the early car’s heating system you’ll find some extra heater controls on the dashboard, which control the far more efficient Webasto heating unit which is fitted in the front luggage compartment.
The wide bodied 912 has been treated to a full bare metal respray in Black, along with new floor panels and it certainly looks to be a very good solid car all-round.
It sits on wider non-standard alloy wheels to fill those widened arches, all with good tyres and it has a great aggressive stance along with lots of road presence.
The original 1,600cc engine was supplied along with the car so this was fully re-built and balanced with many new parts but increased in capacity to 1,800cc for that extra bit of power.
The gearbox has been fully serviced along with all the drivetrain and drive shafts, and the brake callipers, pads and discs have also been replaced and the engine has had a Full-Flow oil system fitted to ensure lubrication through even the most aggressive cornering.
The electrics have been thoroughly inspected and the car is reported to run extremely well with plenty of acceleration in all the gears., with everything working as it should.n1e7I1XIuGHvzXCFHNzynPTCHhaU5YULl1KgQw7P.jpeg473.22 KB
Summary
A nicely restored and rebuilt wide-bodied 912 Porsche with a few useful upgrades which only enhance the sheer driving pleasure available from this rare 911 alternative.
