1965 Porsche 911 SWB 2.0-Litre Competition Coupé Registration no. Not Registered Chassis no. 302039 Engine no. 903084• Early '0-Programme' short-wheelbase model • Youtube video star • Highly developed and immensely successful Historic racer • Immaculate and ready to race • FIA HTP expiring 31.12.2025 FootnotesThis particular Porsche 911 is one of the most famous on the planet, being the star of a much-watched youtube video (getting on for 1 million views) of it competing at Spa with Duel Motorsport's Pascal Pandelaar at the wheel. Chassis number '302039' is one of the early, short-wheelbase cars. It belongs to the '0-Programme' series built from the start of production in August 1964 up to the introduction of the 'A-Programme' model in August 1967, and thus represents the Porsche 911 in its earliest and purest form. Manufactured in October 1965, '302039' was delivered new on 29th July that year having been ordered by VW Pacific of Culver City, USA for first owner Chartes Cassidy of Riviera, California. The original colour scheme was Bali Blue with a black interior, while tinted glass was fitted all around. The car spent most of its early life in the USA, the last American title being issued in August 1991 to Edwin Kissel of Rolling Hill, California. In 1996 the car was shipped from California to Holland, most likely having spent over 30 years on the dry West Coast, but would not be registered in its new home until 2001. Its then owner became involved in Historic racing, and in 2004 decided to have the car converted to full FIA racing specification. He sent the car to the well-known and highly respected Porsche tuners in Holland (Duel Motorsport), who were engaged in the construction of a limited series of top-specification 911 competition cars. This car belongs to that series and is one of the most developed and extensively tested examples. A full and detailed listing of its specification may be found in the accompanying history file. The owner in question was the well-known Dutch Historic Porsche racer, Roman Caresani, who is a regular front-runner in a Porsche 904 GTS. He raced this 911 for many years with great success, and it became known as the '107' car, as that was his racing number. Caresani participated seven years in a row in the Dutch historic NK-HTGT Championship, finishing 2nd overall in the Championship on three occasions. He also managed 1st overall three times in the Championship's GTS11 Class. He raced the 911 in the famous Spa Six Hours on seven occasions, with a best result of 5th overall; he also had three top-10 finishes and four top-20 finishes, plus various podium places in class GTS11 and three wins in Class GTS11. Various GTS11 class wins were also collected at Brands Hatch, Magny Cours, Silverstone and Assen. In addition, the 911 raced in various 3- and 4-hour races in the FHR Langstrecken Cup at the Nürburgring, Hockenheim, Spa, Zolder, Zandvoort and the Nordschleife where various class wins were achieved. In early 2011 Roman Caresani took delivery of his Porsche 904 GTS and so agreed to sell '107' Porsche 911 to a friend, who immediately started competing with the car in historic racing, mainly in the Dutch NK-HTGT races. During all its racing years this 911 has been maintained and developed to the highest level by the same tuner who constructed the car. Its condition is immaculate with the engine and gearbox having only covered a handle of hours since since a complete overhaul on a single Goodwood Trackday and it presents in race ready condition. Included in the sale are various spares, such as four Fuchs 5.5Jx15 rims; an extra gearbox casing (for repair); open race exhaust; set of fog-lamps plus fittings for endurance-racing; various manuals and miscellaneous small parts. An AIM lap-timer and an inboard camera are inside the car. This wonderful Porsche 911 is ready to be race and is eligible for the most prestigious historic racing events and series across Europe including the Porsche 2.0 Litre cu
