Engine No 960576

- Matching numbers, matching colours
- Incredible restoration by Serge Heitz
- A short chassis in a desirable livery
- No reserve

This amazing 911 S short chassis was delivered new in Italy in October 1966. It is presented in its original configuration, with its metallic silver paint and red leather interior, as evidenced in its Kardex Porsche. Equipped with fog lights, headrests and Fuch rims, this 911 went through a very impressive restoration by the specialist Serge Heitz before being delivered to our French collector. Appraised for €430,000 in December 2019 at the time it became part of the collection, it was described as being "corrosion-free, has had a recent full high-quality and meticulous restoration, both mechanically and on the bodywork, leather upholstery, as well as equipment and accessories, in its original colour."
Legend has it that it was commissioned by an Italian businessman with occult activities. In love with an opera singer, he dropped off this 911 in front of the Scala in Milan and asked a child to give the keys to the singer, who would therefore never know the identity of this secret admirer and author of this gift.
It has become difficult to find a 2.0L 911 S with a short chassis. This one has had a high-level restoration, adorning itself with its stunning livery and still with its engine.
