The 912 was Porsche's entry model for the 911 range and initially substantially outsold its six-cylinder sibling. Production ran from 1965 to 1969, during which in excess of 32,000 were manufactured. The vast majority were Coupes, 5,598 of which were bodied by Karmann for Porsche during the 1968 model year. Enthusiastic 912 customers included the German autobahn police. This RHD example was purchased by the vendor in 2013 as a Cat D insurance write off which the vendor subsequently repaired with the replacement of the off side headlamp and front bumper. The vendor informs us the Porsche is fitted with fiberglass front / rear wings, bumpers and engine lid with a 2.0 litre engine with 5 speed gearbox. Offered with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and recently having an oil / filter change and heat exchange the vendor currently rates the Porsche as follows: -
