Dealer Description:
This 911 was delivered new to Japan via the sole Porsche dealer in the country at the time, Mitsuwa Motors, on 23 March 1968 in the colour scheme the car maintains today, special order Silver Metallic on black interior.
The car was first registered in the UK in October 2012 by Anthony Hansford of H Engineering who undertook a full restoration of the car to a period correct ‘hot rod’ specification. The car was stripped to a bare shell, 911R steel rear arches were added as well as a half roll cage. Continuing the ‘Sports Purpose’ theme, rebuilt Koni double adjustable rear shocks were used, along with a 100L fuel tank and 10,000 rpm tacho.
The engine was built to full 906 specification which included centre lube cams, big valve gas flowed heads, high flow oil pump, twin plug heads, high compression pistons and Paulter con rods. The gearbox was completely rebuilt with Nurburgring ratios and a GT limited slip differential.
More recently, the car has been worked on by Tuthill Porsche. In 2019 Tuthill completely rebuilt the engine with 2.0L ‘R’ type cams, new crankshaft, barrels, pistons and a new exhaust system as well as refurbishing the Webber IDA 46 carburettors.
The car has been set up for fast road use and is now thoroughly sorted with the Sports Purpose upgrades significantly enhancing the already sharp driving experience that is associated with these early 911S. Since the engine rebuild was completed in March 2019, the car has been used sparingly and is ready to be enjoyed as intended.
Does anyone know the source of the seats with the amber fiberglass?
Double strike on the left star and chatter marks. "Ghost numbers" still visible. YMMV

Gulp!! Oops, were not supposed to see that.
I’ve seen that kind of mag case prep before. Just so happens I’ve started tearing down my motor and just took these two photos of my motor SN. Mine has a slight walk on the 3. It was clearly the original motor in the car, matches my Kardex and has been with me the last 20yrs. The car was in storage from about ‘87 until I bought it.
I think that stamp is legit.
