1971 Porsche 911 T Targa LHD For Sale

This 911 Targa is ready for you to enjoy, top off, wind in the hair, flat six in the background.

Originally from the USA, this 1971 2. 2 T is a pleasure to use. We carried out a light restoration on what was then, a good example; we just made it better! With matching numbers and in its original colour, it is a sound bet for the future. The price is less than it would be to fully restore a project car and this one will always be more authentic than restored examples.

We purchased this 911 about 6 years ago. It appeared a very genuine car requiring minimal work. However, it had been repainted in the wrong shade of white sometime previously; we decided it was well worthy of returning it to its original Ivory white.

Once fully dismantled, we found the body was good, very straight and without previous restoration.  All the normal areas of horror were in fact in great shape;  kidney bowls, inner sills, floor pans (which still had the original soundproof finish), battery boxes and inner front wings.

We repainted it in its factory authentic shade of Ivory white (1110), the paint code tag still remains. The locks and catches were re-plated and the engine bay sound deadening replaced with new.

All original glass and trims were reinstalled. The doors were refitted with new door seals and membranes before the original door cards and tops were put back in place. Replacement headlamps, light lenses and bumper seals were used.  The black vinyl seats were in good condition, so just underwent a clean up before refitting. New original carpets in standard grey salt and pepper finish. The Targa top was refurbished with new covers, webbing and seals.  A classic Continental DAB radio was fitted.

The 2. 2 litre engine and 901 5-speed gearbox were removed and serviced; notably there was no evidence of any rebuilding, supporting the belief that this was a low mileage example. (approx 42, 000 miles) It has received a new clutch, oil lines, fuel lines, fuel pump, filters, spark plugs, plug leads, points, condenser, distributor cap and valve adjustment plus a new v-belt and heat exchangers.

The suspension and brakes were refurbished with fresh linings and new metal and rubber pipes. The beautiful Fuchs alloys (including the original spare) were correctly re-anodized and received new tyres.

Final work included applying corrosion inhibitor to susceptible areas, fitting a fire extinguisher and 4 wheel alignment.

This work is well documented with photographs throughout and was completed approximately 5 years ago. The car has covered very few miles since then and its condition today emphasizes the notion that we started with a very good 911 in the beginning.

A 911 like this is a pleasure, especially on a sunny day with the Targa top stowed in the luggage compartment. The motor sings its distinctive flat six song that only an air cooled 911 can sing. It whips along happily at whatever speed you could realistically ask, is light and precise to the touch of the wheel and gives a feeling of great contentment.  Positively received by anyone that sees it; turn up at a fuel station and you are sure to receive compliments. Turn up at Goodwood and you have the 'right' car for the occasion. This is a classic 911 that provides opportunities for touring anywhere in Europe or simply enjoying a trip to the pub for a lemonade.

Manufactured in Germany and exported to the USA, it was originally supplied by OPC Portland on 1st January 1971.

A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows it was manufactured with the following specifications;

* Chassis number the details below
* Engine number 6115965 (911/ 03)
* Light ivory (1110) with black leatherette
* Comfort equipment - Leather steering wheel, instruments and oil tank like 911S
* Alloy wheels, 5. 5x14 with tyres
* Coloured windows

It has its original driver's manual and some documentation from which we learn that, following it's initial registration in Oregon, the car also spent time in California before moving to Pennsylvania in 1983 and remaining there until 2000. In July 2001, the Targa was loaded aboard the Hual Tropicana and shipped from New York to Southampton, then making its way to Ireland where it was registered in April 2003 to the owner from whom we purchased it some 9 years later. This owner confirms that the car was driven on only a couple of occasions before it was put into storage. So in 2012, it came to us here at Williams Crawford where it underwent the light restoration as previously explained.

Officially UK registered on 01. 01. 2014, we then sold it to one of our existing customers. They have continued to bring the Targa to us for general maintenance, servicing and MOT's (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017).

Since supplying it the owner chose to have the seats recovered with houndstooth cloth and the bases refurbished to provide better comfort and support than original.

Most recently, prior to offering it here the 911 visited the rolling road where it received some adjustment to the factory fitted Zenith carburetors to optimise performance and running.

When you can find a classic 911 like this, would you bet against it for the future? It offers so much fun and enjoyment and little to fear in maintenance costs. We see plenty of similar 911 through our restoration department, but very few are genuinely like this one.

Buying yourself a really great example is worth the effort and the patience.......... for you, that work and wait is over.......
