1969 Porsche 911 T Manual Restored

As the most-widely collected sports car in the world, the Porsche 911 has amassed a cult-following.

One badge closely associated with the legacy is 911 T – or Touring. Introduced in 1967, the 911 T was conceived as a lightweight and stripped-out road car for the purist.

Toward the end of 1969, the highly desirable C-series 911 T was released, featuring a larger 2.2-litre engine and improved wheelbase.

Finished in the stunning hue of burgundy, this Porsche 911 T is one of those later model cars, with its still-present 2.2-litre engine and manual transmission verified by Porsche as the factory supplied engine.

Delivered new in America, it’s rare in terms of both colour and options, having been fitted with US-spec lux pack. Since, it has been painstakingly restored to a high standard. The exterior has benefitted from a complete respray, as well as a new windscreen, new rubbers, and European-spec headlights.

The car comes with its original and unrestored 14-inch wheels, as well as the 15-inch Fuchs as pictured. Underneath you’ll find a new fuel tank alongside refreshed suspension and chassis components.

Its 2.2-litre was recently pulled apart, balanced, and rebuilt to a high specification with a pair of Weber carburettors. It now produces 115hp at the tyres, indicating its warmed-up nature.

Inside, a new dash top, modern retracting seat belts (originals included), new window regulators, and re-trimmed seats make it both fresh and ready for use. A nice touch is a pair of new SSI heater boxes, which ensures cabin air is fresh and not plagued by exhaust fumes.

Classic Porsches are wise investments, so park your money safety in this classic and desirably specified 911 T.
