We are currently finishing restauration, it will be one of the finest 911s! Our goal is to restore it in absolute new condition, actually this 911 will be better than new.

THE CAR’S HISTORY

Almost immediately after delivery, mister Dave Coleman started racing in the 1966 MARRS GT championship with this particular 911. And he was very successful from the start and became champion in 1966 and 1968. Even at that time mister Coleman was a visionary man, as he never raced with his original engine, but with a customized Porsche 2.5lt race engine. The original engine was never used to race, and there for in a very good and complete condition. The car was raced occassionally till the late 70s.

For as far as we can check it-and even today we are still looking for extra information- the car was then parked an stowed away for an amazing +35 years and found back by Charles Cooker, president of 356 INC and an authority in the early Porsche world. Charles offered this car to the current owner after it was parked for a couple of years in his garage.

This body-off restauration will easily pass 1.000 man-hours!
