I have a feeling the picture suggests what the car could look like after restoration.

For sale original RHD Porsche 911E Coupe project. Matching engine to chassis.

1971 year VIN 9111200845 originally the very desirable Albert Blue colour.

Known as the 'Secret weapon from Zuffenhausen', the 70-71 911 2.2E was quicker than the 'S' 0-100km/h due to gearing and power delivery.

Being a '71E, this was equipped with the luxury options such as:
Power sunroof,
Power windows
Rear window wiper
Sportomatic (in 71 the 'S' did not get this)
Rare 'Koni' suspension instead of the 'Boge'
Even rarer 'S' brakes and swaybars
Albert Blue paint
Tinted glass
Beige interior with Corduory inserts

Rolling body missing a few parts but comes with all steel panels and all seats.

Body chassis is in excellent condition and floors are solid originally galvanized.

Comes with matching numbers 2.2E motor and also two Sportomatic gearboxes.

MFI available if desired.

Also comes with a full matched set date Correct Fuchs forged wheel set (5 wheels).

Also have original drivers manual, NOS 911E rear badge, toolkit and other 71 sales brochures

Great project for someone who has time and energy.
With early 'S' cars out of reach for many, the 'E' is on the rise as can be seen by the quickly rising prices following the USA market. Why settle for a base model 'T' when you can build your own classic and luxurious 'E' from a great platform.

With only 200 RHD 2.2 Sporto Es made, it is rarer, and quicker, and more comfortable than a 2.2S.

Google Albert Blue 1971 911E sunroof coupe for pics of what this could look like when completed.

Offers above $45k for a realistic sale.

It would be interesting to know the history and actual condition wouldn't it? I think if you presume it's a basket case then you won't be dissapointed The 71 DIDN'T have any galvanised panels contrary to the seller's description. "MFI available if desired", since when is the MFI not desirable?!

BUT it's potentially a lovely project... Albert Blue RHD E. Ticks the boxes for me! I even miss my my old sporto box

"Quicker than a 2.2S?" Hmm . . . . I'm calling bull**** on that.

All he has done is wikipedia'd you.

The D series was produced from Aug. 1970 to July 1971. The 2.2 L 911E (C and D series) were called "The secret weapon from Zuffenhausen"[citation needed]. Despite the lower power output of the 911/01 engine (155 PS (114 kW; 153 hp) at 6200rpm) compared to the 911S's Type 911/02 (180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) at 6500rpm), the 911E was quicker in acceleration up to 160 km/h (100 mph)

Yes nick. It is all about the torque, not the HP. All the E's had more torque than S's and power comes in earlier due to the cams. It has nothing to do with the gearboxes as was stated in the earlier post. But I don't think E's are quicker to 100MPH. Probably closer to 130 kph maybe 120kph
The S comes into its own at the top end of revs and speed when power is needed to overcome resistance rather than torque is needed for acceleration

The 71 DIDN'T have any galvanised panels contrary to the seller's description.

Looks like I'm wrong (again ) Apparently the floors got galvanising in 71 - that's good news... Seems all I ever work with are the early floors!!
