A top highlight of the auction is a historic Porsche 911 Coupé, in the appealing 'Bali Blue' from 1965. What makes the car so special? It was the first Porsche 911 to be manufactured with right-hand drive. Completed as a prototype in the spring of 1965, it made its way to England, where it served as a 'test object' for dealers before the official release. Notably, the car's former owners include the two British racing drivers Charles Lucas and Willie Green.
