Originally supplied to Switzerland in June 1970, this left-hand drive 911 2.2E left the factory finished in Tangerine over black vinyl, a specification confirmed by supporting Porsche documentation. Imported into the UK around early 2017, all relevant EU and UK taxes and duties were paid prior to registration. The car was then subjected to a complete bare-metal restoration to factory-correct standards.
In the time since the restoration—now approximately seven and a half years ago—the car has seen limited, careful use and has been stored appropriately, retaining its outstanding condition throughout.
Both the matching-numbers engine and gearbox were removed and fully rebuilt using genuine Porsche components. The cosmetic presentation matches the mechanical quality, with extensive attention paid to correctness and detail.
Key works carried out include:
• Full braking system replacement: discs, calipers, lines, and master cylinder (all genuine parts)
• New clutch and complete exhaust system installed
• New oil tank and fuel tank fitted as preventative maintenance
• Replacement of heater cables, gear linkage bushes, and full washer system overhaul
Inside, a period-correct salt and pepper velour carpet set was installed, and the ‘S’ specification instruments were sent to North Hollywood Speedometer for professional refurbishment. A pair of correct-style Sport seats were fitted, trimmed with Pepita houndstooth centres for a factory-authentic finish.
Every nut, bolt and trim component was either restored or replaced to factory-correct standard, resulting in a car that now presents very much as it would have when it first left Zuffenhausen in 1970.
As values of early pre-impact bumper 911s (pre-1974) continue to rise, the appeal of these cars lies not just in their aesthetic purity and analogue driving characteristics, but also in their relative simplicity and robust engineering. Many have now entered long-term collections and are rarely offered for public sale.
This example, with matching numbers, correct specification, and a full documented restoration, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a properly restored early 911 that remains true to its original build and character.

JZM, the brand and purpose
JZM’s origins begin in 1983 driven by a passion for the very special 911 sports car developed and refined over 60 years. A passion that has not wavered, we love Porsche as superfans do, after all three quarters of them are still on the road today. Our thing is – all the best bits – Porsche GT’s, RS’s, special models, rare beasts and exemplary examples are our niche. We are here to keep these beautiful things on the road, running at their supreme best.
JZM Service
Porsche love being looked after in the correct way with the ‘TLC’ Hans Mezger would approve of. We were around in the early days and still apply our knowledge and experience to every car we handle. For us servicing a Porsche is to look after an automotive thoroughbred.
JZM Fine Tuning
With such a highly refined car as a Porsche, there are few margins for improvement. We can tailor a car for your driving aspirations and over the years we’ve tried almost everything, which informs us of what works and what doesn’t. Our experience is a tuning fast-lane to your Porsche expectations and wishes come true.
JZM Future
There’s not a Porsche we haven’t relished engaging with, and there are a few tricky ones but, even as petrolheads the latest Taycan is testament to the Porsche DNA we understand and love. The GT’s of all eras are in our blood and we continue to cherish and nurture these fabulous driving machines.
JZM Commitment
We’re honest and as up front as we can be, we tell it how it is. A car is made up of thousands of moving parts and electronics, they’re complicated enough. Every Porsche at JZM is treated as a favourite – a bold statement and a big commitment, but after 40 years in we’re in too deep to get this passionate about anything else.
Machtech 1983
Machtech opened the doors in 1983 as Bosch petrol injection and diagnostic specialists. Steve McHale became one of the first of very few Bosch Systems Technicians in the UK. Accredited Bosch service agents Machtech were trained specialists in Bosch D-Jetronic, K-Jetronic, KE-, L-, LE-, LH- and Motronic engine management systems.
During the 1980’s and ’90’s Steve competed against Brundell’s Andy Rouse, Stirling Moss, Tiff Needell, John Cleland, Gerry Marshall, Tony Lanfranchi, Barry Williams, Steve Soper and many more in the Willhire 24 hour races at Snetterton. We tuned Porsche’s for nearly all of the UK specialists that competed in Porsche racing during this period which was first sponsored by Giroflex seating then Bridgstone tyres and finally Pirelli.
Machtech became UK agent for Michael Roock Sportsystem of Le Mans 24hr fame and over the years the connections and network grew to include Olaf Manthey (Manthey Racing), David Brodie (BBR), Barry Curtis (356 race specialist), Ansgar Wiesen (VGS Tuning) and Porsche Cars GB.
