AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

1966 Porsche 912 SWB

GENERAL:

Offered for sale is an early-production 1966 Porsche 912 SWB, finished in light ivory (6604). This car is a highly original and well-preserved example of Porsche’s first-generation short-wheelbase models. Combining mechanical integrity with authentic period details, it presents as an honest, unmodified classic, ideal for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Technical & Mechanical Condition

This 912 features the desirable and rare 5-speed manual gearbox (902-1), which was a factory option at the time. The car is in sound mechanical condition and has recently received servicing to ensure road readiness. Work included cleaning and sealing of the carburetors, a brake system inspection, standard ignition, and oil maintenance. Both the engine and gearbox are the original ones, according to the Kardex, so this means it is a rare fully matching numbers 912 with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Exterior & Body

As an early short-wheelbase (SWB) model, this 912 includes hallmark features such as horn grilles, a split rear engine lid, and chrome wheels, all of which are present and correct. The floors and structural components are solid, showing no signs of significant prior damage. The white paintwork shows some signs of wear and tear, for example, the paintwork on the hood could be improved.

Interior:

The car retains its original interior according to the kardex. It is equipped with a black interior and the three green clusters, which were often seen on the early 912 models. The interior shows normal signs of wear, which can be expected for a car of this age.

Documentation:

A Porsche Kardex document and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity are included, confirming factory specifications and original delivery data. The car is eligible for Dutch registration, and can also be delivered with MOT, TÜV, or RDW inspection as required.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early, short-wheelbase Porsche 912 in unmodified and well-maintained condition. With its 5-speed gearbox, original features, and recent mechanical service, this example is ready for the road and ideal for collectors seeking a true representation of Porsche’s entry-level model from the golden age of air-cooled sports cars. We also recently took the car for a drive; we have made a video of this, which can of course be shared upon request.

We always recommend visiting in person to check out the car and get the best understanding of its condition.

Additional services

Transport: We can arrange transport for you, both open and closed.
Export: We offer full export support, should you wish to export the car.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
