The story
The 912 arrived in 1965 with the same body as the 911, but with the air-cooled flat-four derived from the 356. Lighter at the rear and cheaper, it outsold the 911 in its early years.
This one arrived at the workshop on a trailer. The work covered the body and the interior, back to the original look. Every stage was photographed, and the photos were handed to the owner together with the car.

The body
The bodywork brings the 912 back to its original look: an even green on every panel, chromed bumpers, the Porsche and 912 scripts in place on the engine lid.
