Amazing barn find and a journey of discovery

The basic details were thankfully,

It is a 911E, 1969
Matching numbers, chassis, engine, gearbox
Originally light ivory with unique red interior

The rest of the information blew our minds!

I don't think this car can ever be cloned. We have made sure now that it has been well and truly documented on here so Brendan and I have decided to reveal the build number (after much discussion). It may not mean a great deal to you just now but it will.

More tomorrow............

12th LWB 911 shell built?

Not sure how these numbers decode!

It's a 3.2 - the 12th one made - you bought a backdate!

This discovery is a major find - a totally unique car that was probably thought to have long disappeared (or been destroyed) ...

That's a little cruel on Bert. He's nearly got it.
