This Porsche 912 is a classic air-cooled sports car, which was originally delivered to the US before later being exported to Europe, and it now resides in Australia. It is powered by the original naturally aspirated 1.6-litre flat-four, delivering around 67kW to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This 912’s engine was rebuilt by a Porsche specialist when the seller purchased the car three years ago. The car was originally specified in Champagne Yellow (6405), but was at some point resprayed in black, complementing the black vinyl-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of silver 15-inch steel wheels, fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Equipment includes a five-gauge dashboard with outside temperature gauge, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a wood-topped gear shifter. Accompanying the sale is documentation relating to the engine rebuild, a copy of the factory ‘Kardex’ build certificate, and the wheel centres. The seller reports that the car was resprayed early in its life to the current black colour, and that there is some light damage around the front fog light housings. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some of the original paintwork is visible inside the doors and on the underside of the car; there are many paint blemishes around the car as shown (commensurate with the very old repaint), around the rear quarters and on the front end, including crazing, flaking, and an area of body filler above the engine lid, damage to the brushed metal plate around the ashtray, a misshapen horn pad, and pitting around the metal gauge surrounds and column stalks. The seller reports that the dash pad has been replaced, no sun visors are fitted, and the horn, speedometer, clock, and windscreen washers are non-functional. The most roadworthiness inspection was reportedly conducted in 2023, resulting in a clean pass. The car was last serviced in December 2023 by Euro Automotive, who rebuilt the distributor, replaced the fluids and all the original suspension and gear selector bushings, and attended to an oil leak, the window regulators, and the hot idle speed. The engine was reportedly rebuilt three years ago by a Porsche specialist in Austria. Conceived as an entry-level variant of the Porsche 911 and fitted with a four-cylinder engine in place of the larger six-cylinder unit, the 912 has long lived in the shadow of its more popular stablemate – but it is now appreciated as an important and desirable classic sports car in its own right. This is an honest example of the breed, praised by the seller for its mechanical health and dependability, while retaining a charming period ‘patina’. It should make a solid addition to any classic car collection, and would be perfectly suited to cruising to various shows and events. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details. This vehicle’s VIN has been checked against the Australian Personal Property Securities Register, and there is no security interest or other registration kind logged against the serial number.
