This SWB has a particularly faithful interior that retains a number of race
fittings from the 190s (research into these is ongoing in the <SA). 0t retains
rare and original door cards unique to the '68 model, together with its
original '03/68' date-stamped instruments and all its original glass.

0n 2012, Porsche enthusiast, renowned collector, and former racing
driver Peter Groh imported the car into Switzerland where it remained
for two seasons, gaining its T…V certificate (with a number of other
improvements) before passing to the current vendor. Groh, who
discovered this Porsche in North Carolina, had already restored a 195
SWB, which he rallied in Germany in the 1990s.

The modifications made in the early 1990s were further improved upon
during an eight-month restoration with Francis Tuthill Limited, which was
completed in 2015, the year of the teams historic win in the F0A World
Rally Championships R-GT Cup category. Dating from 1972, its race-
tuned Tuthill engine produces an estimated 210bhp and endows the
car with sensational performance, yet it remains highly useable and has
been driven regularly, covering over 12,000 miles since the 2014/2015
rebuild, confirming its toughness and reliability. Restoration invoices are
on file, and the also comes with a current MoT certificate and <K V5C
registration document.

This Porsche 911 SWB can be used daily on the road, on rallies and on

track, and is also highly collectable, being an historic model homologated

for F0A Group 2 racing for the  and 9 seasons. 0t is exceptionally

rare to find a  SWB knowledgeably prepared as the Porsche factory

intended: as a genuine dual-purpose roadrace car. This has been done

by leading racing specialists on both sides of the Atlantic, giving the car

panache and punch in equal measure. For more detailed information

the vendor has created a website dedicated to the car: http://www.19swb.

The car comes with extensive provenance from the Porsche Archive,

Porsche GB, Brumos Motors, and the SCCA Porsche-enthusiast

community, all of whom fondly remember it. An affordable route into the

upper echelons of historic 1960s motor sport.
