E (1969 to 1973)

Sitting between the entry-level T and the high-performance S, the Porsche 911 E (LWB) was produced from 1969 to 1973 and is often regarded as the most balanced early 911 of the long-wheelbase era. The “E” designation, short for Einspritzung (fuel injection), introduced Bosch mechanical fuel injection to the range, delivering smoother power delivery, improved throttle response, and stronger mid-range performance compared to carbureted T models. Offered with 2.0-, 2.2-, and later 2.4-litre air-cooled flat-six engines, the 911 E combined usable performance with refinement and stability from the longer wheelbase, making it a highly capable road car in period. In the Australian market, LWB 911 E models are relatively uncommon and typically imported, with increasing demand from collectors who value their drivability, period correctness, and understated position in the early 911 hierarchy. Values are influenced by engine size, originality, matching numbers, body style, and condition, with well-documented, factory-correct cars increasingly viewed as some of the most rewarding early 911s to own and drive.
