- Porsche 911 S Ölklappe
In 1964, the Porsche ‘901’ was born in Stuttgart. After Armand Peugeot and Ferdinand Porsche had a falling out over the 0 in the middle, Ferdinand chose to play it safe. Something with the motto; Choose your battles. The ‘911’ was an immediate hit; Nowadays, Porsche is equivalent to the 911.
In 1972, the ‘Ur-911’er’ was slightly modified before it became the G-model. This modification turned out to be perfect on paper. After the battery was split in two in the nose for weight distribution, the fluid distribution could not be left behind. An oil system was then chosen that could be refilled with an ‘oil valve’ at the rear. Everything used to be better, petrol stations were manned and they even filled up for you! You guessed it; most 72s ran on mixed lubrication…
After only 989 units, production with the oil valve was already stopped because of this problem. The smallest production number for Porsche’s 911’s, to this day. And then this is also the Porsche 911S Ölklappe. Something with a faster cherry on the cake.
And then ours in particular; a copy with everything our air-cooled heart desires; fully nut & bolt restored and overhauled, original Recaro sports seats, black-black, electric sunroof, matching numbers, originally delivered in Portuguese. We’ve got you covered.
