Description

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale model Porsche 911 Yellow. The successful performance of the legendary Porsche 356, the Type 901 sports coupé, was first introduced to the public on the 12th of September in 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt. One year later by October 1964, the 901 had already reached the stage of series-producton readiness and was debuted at the Parisian Auto show. The company of Peugeot protested, and forced Porsche to change the center-positioned number zero in their type designation, because they owned a copyright of all triple-digit type designations with a zero in the middle. Subsequently, Porsche decided to redefine the type designation as 911. But still some 82 pieces of the serial production had left the Porsche plant with the type designation 901 (real collectors’ rarities). On the 27th of October in 1964, the first model with the type designation 911 was delivered. From now on it's that three digit number, that raises the heartbeat of all sports cars enthusiasts around the world. The "nine eleven-success story" was irresistible. A real Type 901 was the source for our 1:18 scale model. Please call 08970 241 2829 to check availability.
