Description
1972 PORSCHE 911 2.4 E ‘OIL FLAP’
• Registration document: French
• Chassis number: 9112200657
• Engine number: 6221070
• S-specification engine – Fully rebuilt in 2024
• Manual gearbox – Refurbished in 2021
• Porsche Certificate (2022) – Matching Numbers & Matching Colours
The 1972 model year holds a special place in the history of the Porsche 911 due to a unique technical feature: the installation of an external oil filler cap positioned on the right-hand rear wing, a feature that was discontinued the following year. Originally powered by a Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI) system, the 911 E model initially offered a versatile option within the range.
This example was delivered new to the French market on 21 March 1972 by the official dealership in Avignon. An official certificate issued by Porsche in 2022 confirms the authenticity of this configuration, certifying that the vehicle is Matching Numbers for its major mechanical components, as well as Matching Colours for its factory paintwork. Bearing the chassis number 9112200657, the car was fitted with Fuchs light alloy wheels, an S-type front spoiler, stabiliser bars, as well as the ‘Comfort’ interior package, electric windows and tinted windows when it left the factory.
Aesthetically, the bodywork underwent an earlier modification, carried out before the 1990s, consisting of the fitting of wide rear wings in keeping with the silhouette of the 2.7 RS. The paintwork and an anti-corrosion treatment were applied in 2008, as part of maintenance work carried out regularly over the decades. The history and continuity of the maintenance are rigorously documented by a comprehensive file of invoices dating back to 1986.
Mechanically, the original engine block (serial number 6221070) was upgraded in the 2000s with internal components (pistons and camshafts) to the specifications of the S version. This engine underwent a recent overhaul in 2024. This major overhaul follows a complete gearbox rebuild carried out in 2021. With a French registration document, this 911 is now in a particularly well-finished technical and aesthetic condition.
This 1972 Porsche 911 2.4 E meets all the key criteria sought after by collectors of the marque: French provenance, a file of invoices dating back to 1986, and an official Porsche certificate from 2022 validating its original specifications (Matching Numbers and Matching Colours). Combining the timeless look of the 2.7 RS with an S-specification engine fully rebuilt in 2024, this ‘oil pan’ model is a first-rate opportunity.
