Porsche 911E Sportomatic

THE PORSCHE 911

Porsche developed a reputation early on for their surprising performance from their small displacement rear-engine sports and racing cars. These “giant killers” could outperform cars with much higher horsepower figures by making light cars with incredible handling. This combination gave Porsches their truly unique driving characteristics and solidified their dedicated following of Porsche enthusiasts.

Starting in 1964 with the original 911, Porsche has produced a line of six-cylinder rear-engine sportscars that could compete with much more powerful cars thanks to their low weight and superior handling. The 911 quickly became an icon of performance and handling and offered a driving experience unlike anything else. The 911 has continuously evolved into a more sophisticated, powerful, and capable driving machine, as well as a reliable and usable car. 

1969 ushered in the first major changes to the iconic Porsche 911. Retaining the unique and successful rear engine layout as well as the same basic styling, the majority of the changes to the 911 were internal. Dimensionally, the rear track and wheelbase grew, while the overall length stayed the same as the earlier cars. Mechanical fuel injection debuted this year as well as in top-of-the-line 911S and the new 911E. The 911E received its name from Einspritzung, the German term for injection. Slotted between the base-model 911T and the 911S, the E, which replaced the 911L “Luxus,” featured improvements including a leather wrapped steering wheel, velour carpeting, vented brake discs, and golden script on the rear deck. 

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED BY BORDER REIVERS

Is another delightful find. This classy 1969 Porsche 911E with a full service & mileage history from new, that’s got to be unique. This is in fact the oldest Porsche 911 we’ve had the pleasure to own (911E Sportomatic 2.0 litre from 1969)

This car comes from long term ownership, last owner purchased the car 1992 (31 years ago) and was obviously very passionate about it judging from the invoices in the folder, it seems to have wanted for nothing with a fresh engine & mechanical rebuild less than 30 mile ago at a cost of £23000.00

Sportomatic is basically Porsche 1st automatic & is a pleasure to drive in modern traffic.

The Wonderfull thing about this low ownership car is the knowledge & history file that’s been built up over the years. It comes with its original document wallet & original books which includes it drivers manual, Sportomatic hand book (which I’ve never seen before), Service book & the maintenance record book (which we would now refer to as a service book). Large A4 history folder. Showing all previous owners.Restoration Photographs.

Magazine feature on the car from Classic & Sportscar April 1992 (4 page) Says this is a rare car, right hand drive 2 litre 911 were made between 1965 & 1969 only about 300 came to Britain in those four years. About 60 are listed the PCGB register. Of these the long wheelbase 2 litre version, which this one is was only current for a year (The rear trailing arms on all 911s were lengthened by 2.75in in 1969 to reduce rear overhang & improve weight distribution) Add to that the facts that the car has the optional semi automatic four-speed Sportomatic gearbox (rare when new & even rarer today because many cars now have conventional manual boxes) and its 140bhp ‘E’ engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection is also rarer than either the low-tune 911T or more powerful 911S & you probably have a car whose specification is unique in the UK (if not the World)

We have a beautiful early 911 in absolutely fabulous condition.The original seats are in great condition however these have been removed (Come with the car) and been replace with period bucket seats trimmed in the same material reminiscent of the ‘S’ spec seats. Mot & road tax exempt.
