The 1967 Porsche 911 S: Built to Compete, Ready for Adventure

Some cars are designed for admiration from afar. Others are meant to be driven hard, raced frequently, and remembered forever. This 1967 Porsche 911 S belongs firmly in the latter category. With decades of competition behind it and the specifications to keep going, it isn’t just a classic — it’s the ultimate Porsche for true adventures.

This short-wheelbase 2.0 S rolled out of the factory in December 1966 and was initially supplied by Porsche Bologna. For many years, it resided in and around Milan before being transformed by Robert Sikkens Racing, who upgraded it with a magnesium-case engine, S pistons, and cams — a serious performance package for its era.

Later owned and raced by British driver Mervyn Selwyn, the car was prepared to FIA standards and competed extensively across the UK and Europe. From rallies to hill climbs and sprints, its motorsport pedigree is well established, with an FIA Historic Technical Passport once issued for GT competition.

This isn’t just a static piece of history. It’s a car that has been out there competing, evolving, and proving itself repeatedly.

What makes this 911 special isn’t its perfection but its purpose. As Adrian Crawford often says: “These cars are your tool to create memories with — and it’s those memories you keep forever.”

And this particular Porsche has already made plenty. It has driven across borders to compete in the Neige Et Glace in France on the boarder to Switzerland, where it was raced and then driven home again. It has taken on a historic ice race, fitted with studded tyres and pushed through hours of frozen competition. It has stormed up Shelsley Walsh and tackled the 3.2km Saint Goueno hillclimb in France. Wherever it has gone, it has left behind stories of speed, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences.

The beauty of a car like this is that it invites more. It could enter the Monte Carlo Historic, turn heads at Goodwood, or join long-distance adventures like Peking to Paris. This is a Porsche ready for the next chapter — and that chapter is yours to write.

With its competition-ready setup, this 911 S is as practical as it is historic:

– 2.0-litre magnesium-case engine with S pistons and cams (approx. 160–170 bhp)

– Nurburgring-ratio gearbox with a long 5th for road and touring

– Safety Devices full roll cage with door bars

– Sparco FIA race seats and Schroth harnesses

– FIA fire suppression system (plumbed in)

– Upgraded clutch, brakes, and suspension

– Rally-ready wiring for GPS roadbook

– Lightweight, analogue simplicity — no electronics, no distractions

Despite its short-wheelbase reputation, this car is approachable and rewarding. Narrow tyres, balanced suspension, and precise feedback make it easy to learn and a joy to master. It’s the kind of car that develops with the driver, a true partner.

This 1967 Porsche 911 S isn’t about standing still. It’s about going places, competing, discovering new roads, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. It embodies motorsport spirit while opening the door to true adventure.

If you’re ready for a car that doesn’t just carry history but keeps creating it, this 911 S is waiting. Built to compete. Ready for adventure.
