Exciting 911 project opportunity

Targa top recovered in June 2020
Left-Hand Drive
Tax & MOT Exempt
The Appeal
Few cars capture the spirit of 1970s motoring like the Porsche 911, and the Targa remains one of the most distinctive variants. Introduced in the late 1960s, it offered open-air driving with extra rigidity, soon becoming an icon of the decade. By 1975, the 911 featured the larger 2.7-litre flat-six engine, celebrated for its free-revving character and unmistakable soundtrack. For many enthusiasts, the 1975 Targa strikes the balance between classic design and usable performance, topped off with its removable roof panel.
This particular example was imported from California in 2020 after being purchased from Beverly Hills Car Club by the current keeper. Left-hand drive and Tax & MOT exempt, it delivers a true 1970s driving experience. Though very much a project, it retains desirable features such as its black leather interior, period OEM Toshiba stereo, and recovered Targa top. Recent mechanical work is said to include a new fuel tank, injectors, pump, and brake lines, plus UK-spec lighting, giving a solid base for further recommissioning.
Not a finished car by any means, but for an enthusiast seeking originality and a rewarding project, this 911 Targa holds strong appeal. With its iconic silhouette and open-roof character, it offers the chance to revive one of Porsche’s most recognisable sports cars.
