Porsche launched the 912 in 1965 as an alternative to the more robust 6-cylinder 911. By offering the same body style with a smaller 4-cylinder engine, the 912 was marketed as a more accessible entry-level offering from Stuttgart. While having less power than the 911, the 912 carried less weight and remained a well-balanced automobile with excellent road manners.

An original California-delivery example, this 912 stayed in the care of its original San Rafael owner for the majority of its life. It was then purchased by a German collector, when it was exported and kept as part of a private collection. Ultimately, this charming piece of Porsche history was then returned to the U.S. with its care entrusted to Autosport Designs.

This 912 is in wonderfully honest preserved condition. Sporting its original and highly desirable livery of Bahama Yellow over Black Leatherette, this Porsche offers zero disappointments and includes books, tools, jack, spare wheel and detailed ownership records. It is ready for immediate enjoyment and eligible for numerous vintage rallies and Porsche events.

This 912 is one of the most honest no-nonsense structural and mechanical examples with an interior that has only the slightest honest patina we have ever had the pleasure of owning. Having said that, over the years, this 912 had received various road nicks and touch ups. Therefore, we decided to strip and repaint the entire car.

This 912 has excellent provenance from new, superb mechanical, structure and interior condition and most recently, freshly restored exterior in its factory original Bahama Yellow paint. This 912 will be as comfortable on the concours lawn as it is on the road. This is one of those Porsche we've decided to bring to the next level and thus give a new lease on life in its next ownership. You will be hard pressed to find another 912 in this condition and in rare color of Bahama Yellow.
