Why It’s Special

Few cars capture the spirit of 1970s motoring like the Porsche 911, and the Targa remains one of the most distinctive and desirable variants. Originally introduced as a safer alternative to the cabriolet, the Targa offers open-air driving while maintaining additional structural rigidity. By 1975, the 911 was equipped with the well-known 2.7-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, celebrated for its free-revving nature, unmistakable sound, and engaging character.

This example represents a great opportunity for an enthusiast seeking an authentic, largely original 911 Targa that can be brought to a very high standard through a well-executed project. Imported from California in 2020, the car retains its original left-hand drive configuration and delivers a true classic Porsche driving experience.

It is not a concours-ready car, but it is an honest and solid base, with several important mechanical works already completed.
