1970 Porsche 911e | Dorchester, Dorset

A 1970 Porsche 911E, from the early years of the air-cooled 911. It is known and liked for its compact, low-nosed shape and the flat-six engine hung behind the rear axle. Cars built from 1969 had a longer wheelbase, which gave steadier handling than the first 911s. This car is green with a black interior, a restrained pairing that looks at home against stone, brick and open countryside. Under the rear lid is a 2.2-litre engine, and the cabin seats four. The black interior gives a dark, uncluttered backdrop for close-up and interior photography. Photographers, fashion and editorial teams and advertising crews can use its short, rounded body and low nose to place a period sports car clearly in frame. Film and television productions set in the late 1960s or 1970s get a car that fits the era, and a music video gets a compact green car that stands out against a plain background. It also suits a wedding or a milestone day out. The car is based in Dorchester, Dorset.
