Porsche 911 L

With the introduction of the 911 T as the new entry-level model with a six-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual gear box, the previous 911 was renamed the 911 L (luxury) in autumn 1967. The engine output remained unchanged. There’s a remarkable story behind the 911 L Coupé: a flower-patterned tablecloth was draped over the car for years as a dust cover and literally imprinted itself on the car. The car had stood forgotten alongside another 911 of the first generation in a barn near Brandenburg until it was rediscovered in 2014 by a team from the Trödeltrupp TV show. Shortly after this, the Porsche Museum acquired not only the 1967 911 L, but also a 1964 911 (901 No. 57), the oldest in its collection. Both cars were restored. The rusted, gold-painted body was restored to its former glory in its original Polo Red. The Porsche logo on the bonnet was kept in gold, however. One special characteristic of the 911 L is the rectangular form of the lock on the door handle. Another unique feature is the centre section of the dashboard, which is covered in a grained imitation leather with an elephant skin look. The car was originally delivered with seats covered in a Pepita fabric. The 911 with the model designation 911 L was only available in model year 1968.
