1980 | Porsche 911 Carrera 4

The Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Targa is one of the rarest and most intriguing models from Porsche's early 1990s line-up, combining classic air-cooled engineering with innovative all-wheel-drive technology. Produced between 1989 and 1993, the 964 generation marked a significant evolution for the iconic 911, offering modern comforts and safety systems while retaining the unmistakable silhouette that defined the brand. However, examples specified as right hand drive (RHD) Targas, especially in Carrera 4 configuration, are exceedingly scarce - less than a few hundred were ever built for markets such as the UK, Australia, and Japan. Under the rear decklid lies a 3.6 litre flat-six engine producing around 250bhp, paired with Porsche's advanced all-wheel-drive system derived from the legendary 959 supercar. This set-up provided remarkable stability and traction, making the Carrera 4 a capable performer in all conditions. The Targa body style, featuring a removable roof panel and distinctive wraparound rear glass, offered open-air motoring without sacrificing the rigidity of a coupe. In right hand drive, the 964 Targa holds special appeal among collectors due to its rarity and the difficulty of sourcing original examples in unmodified condition. Many have been lost to corrosion or conversion, further elevating the value of surviving cars.

This lovely, rare, right hand drive Porsche 911/964 Carrera 4 Targa fitted with factory five-speed manual gearbox was supplied within the UK in August 1990. Finished in black with the original grey leather interior it has been recently serviced and is supplied with an extensive service history. It is reported by the owner to run and drive very well. This 964 Carrera 4 Targa is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in February 2026, the handbook pack and a large file containing invoices and old MoT test certificates. Today, a well-preserved right hand drive Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Targa represents a unique blend of classic air-cooled charm, technical innovation, and everyday usability - an iconic bridge between the 911s of the past and the modern performance machines that followed.
