The 1972 Porsche 911S ‘Ölklappe’ is one of the rarest and most distinctive 911 variants, produced for just a single year. Nicknamed Ölklappe (German for “oil flap”), it featured a unique outside oil filler flap on the right rear fender, specified by the engineers at Porsche in their ongoing work to improve the 911. Racing experience had shown that the re-location of the oil tank to the front of the rear wheel, helped to improve handling. Unfortunately, many owners mistook it for the fuel filler and poured petrol into the oil tank, leading Porsche to abandon the idea after 1972.

As the top-of-the-line 911, the 1972 911S was powered by a 2.4-liter flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, producing 190 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. Coupled with the 915 5-speed manual gearbox, the car could accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds and reach a top speed of around 230 km/h, remarkable figures for the early 1970s.

Chassis refinements included wider Fuchs alloy wheels, ventilated disc brakes, and revised suspension geometry, giving the 911S exceptional handling balance and making it a favourite among serious sporting drivers. Visually, it retained the classic narrow-bodied 911 silhouette, but the external oil filler makes it instantly recognizable to enthusiasts, making the 1972 911S Ölklappe among the most collectible early Porsche 911. 

This particular Porsche 911S was restored 5 years ago with its previous owner, a very prominent German collector. The Porsche was restored ‘nut and bolt’ in his workshop to original specification including the original Signal Gelb colour that it was delivered with when new. Naturally it is a matching numbers Porsche 911S. German first delivery.

The restoration was done to a very high standard at the collector’s own workshop and with a no expense spared ethos. In every respect this is a new car or better than new: the engine compartment, the underbody, the suspension, the interior. Everywhere you look, the 911S has been rebuild and is clean and solid. The 911S specific Recaro sports seat with Pepita inserts and the original four spoke leather covered steering wheel, top of the interior and for those in the know, immediately reveals the model designation.

If anyone is still in doubt, you only need to fly past another car on the highway who will be left wondering how fast and agile a classic car can be? The answer my friend, is there to read on the engine lid: Porsche 911S.

Today the Porsche 911S has seen very limited use with its current owner and with just 11.000km completed since restoration, it will be difficult to find a better and more reliable 1972 Porsche 911S.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.
