It's been nearly a year since I first tested the blistering 750kg 912C by Kamm Manufaktur (link here to the original video: • 912 RESTOMOD! The ligh... . Now the car is back after an evolution, boasting more adaptability in a new 'touring' setup. So is this 912 restomod now the ultimate classic Porsche hot rod?
To find out, I met up with my 9WERKS Radio podcast colleague (and air-cooled aficionado), Andy Brookes, to put the 912C through its paces to find out. I hope you enjoy the video!

A joy to watch and listen to. Thanks to Andy and Kamm for sharing and to you Lee for organising and injecting your trademark enthusiasm.
Absolutely my pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
👌
I think most of us would be happy with either car. I know I would.
Great video 👍
That was a nice nice surprise with an appearance from Andy. Great video from you both both and my takeaway was you seemed to be having alot of fun at sensible speeds. Don't wait too long to get Andy out again.
Very kind, thanks J 👊
I would definitely pick the light 912. That is where the fun lies for me
Both beautiful but the footage from when you’re trying to catch up in the lanes was amazing mi want an air cooled 912
Thank you! It's a super little car, I really enjoyed the drive.
Digging on that 912C. My second Porsche was a 1969 912 that had had a 2.4L big-bore T4 swap done to it... the sound of the C brings me right back to the experience of driving my old car. Fine memories.
2 lovely air-cooled 911, thanks for sharing!
Utterly wonderful little car. Very individual too. I really like the idea of dash adjustable coil overs… I’d like to hear more about that for a 997.
Either one would be a lifetime keeper, but I think I’d possibly prefer the added lightness of the 912. Thanks much!
Wow. What a lovely little gem.
If only it was RHD.
It is available in RHD as well
@@mikloskazmer7161 thank you for the reply, if only I could afford one.
Driving fun the 912 gets it for me, it just seems you could have a touch more fun in that, SC looks the dogs from the back, black wheels make the cars the SC maybe could go a touch lower imo , both amazing and sound wonderful, my 964 has 363000 miles and has just given up ! .. good video no BS relaxed chat 10/10.
What is the colour of that SC? That 912 is very appealing! Great episode as ever!
It's Dolomite Grey, a special wishes colour spec'ed in 1978.
@@AndyBrookes thanks! much appreciated
Great roads
Great video but Andy’s SC all day long 🤩🤩 Pure 911.
Blush...
Superb review. Where abouts in the country were you?
Dorset, Poole to Bridport coastal route.
Thanks that's great to know as I'll be down that way soon... sadly in a Motorhome not my 911, but the motorhome does have a surprisingly satisfying gear change @@AndyBrookes
Was this filmed in Sussex?
Does it use the 616 engine case? I always wondered why some rich Porsche owner didn’t order an original 912 with a 2.0 Carrera. The resale value of a one-off from the factory today would be out of sight.
Also, can you tell this train freak what that rail car beside you is?
Yes! Thats a 616 case. 2015cc 190hp/750kg
@@mikloskazmer7161 Are they buying old cases and associated parts?
@@jockellisall cars matching numbers
@@mikloskazmer7161 Where are they sourcing cases? And how are they getting 2015 unless they are re-machining the cases?
As a 15 year Owner of a 912 , prior Owner of both an '88 Carrera 3.2 and '72 911S 2.4L, why would anyone DESTROY the Original Characteristics of the 912 as intended by design ???
Seems to me that if U want a 993 i.e. modern air cooled 911, then buy it. My view is U have ruined a 912.
Littlest Irsh.
Littlest indeed!
