One of the most historically important Porsches ever will be offered on the open market at RM Sotheby’s Paris Auction on February 8. When Porsche was developing the 901 — soon to become known as the 911 — it made 13 pre-production models, of which just one was completed as a Cabriolet. The drop-top 901 ultimately led to the subsequent iconic 911 Targa concept.
RM Sotheby’s is now preparing to sell this very car, the 1964 Porsche 901 Cabriolet Prototype, chassis no. 13360 (above, photo courtesy of RM Sotheby’s), which is the second oldest surviving 901/911 chassis, and one of just two pre-production 901s still in existence. It would seem to be a car that would be a welcome addition to any important Porsche or classic car collection. For complete information please visit www.rmsothebys.com
