1975 PORSCHE 911 2.7 TARGA

KEY FACTS

• Recently refreshed inside and out, this 1975 Porsche 911 Targa is a stunning example of the iconic sports car.
• A 2.7-litre air-cooled flat six sits over the back wheels, mounted to a five speed manual transmission.
• Imported from the United States and converted from left-hand drive, this car benefits from recent mechanical refurbishment, a bare-metal respray and reupholstered interior.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The 911’s original K-Jetronic fuel injection system was replaced with an electronic fuel injection system featuring Jenvey throttle bodies. The original system is boxed and will be included in the sale.
• Mechanical componentry has been refurbished or restored, including fully stripping and rebuilding the brakes and gearbox, and installing new timing chains, tensioners, gaskets and seals in the engine.
• A back-to-bare-metal respray was completed to a high standard, with the whole car then treated to a ceramic coating for protection.
• The interior was re-upholstered in tan leather.
• Sold with a tool kit and an excellent history file including receipts, engineer reports and a photo library of work carried out on the car.

CONDITION

• The 911 has never had any significant damage, and thorough investigation was undertaken during the respray to confirm this fact, with only minor dents and scratches found and documented.
• Panels and all exterior trim, including the Targa roof, are in excellent condition and fit well.
• Recently resprayed in Salmon Metallic, the car looks stunning and the paintwork has been maintained in excellent condition, with only two small stone chips to note - one on the front right guard and the second on the bonnet.
• Inside, the 911 is in immaculate condition benefitting from the recent upholstery work. Minor discoloration of the upper door plastics, minor marks on the door interiors and gentle patina on some of the controls do not detract from the superb overall condition.
• Boasting recently refurbished or restored mechanicals, the car has been serviced and maintained by a passionate and knowledgeable owner throughout six years of ownership. It is mechanically strong and all electronics, controls and gauges function well.
• It passed a roadworthy inspection in March, 2020 with no warnings or advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• 5,000 km ago the brake fluid was bled and replaced along with the oil filter and engine oil.
• The mechanical restoration was undertaken prior to this service and the above is all that has been required since.
• An oil and filter change is due at 137,000 km.
• Upon request or sale, the owner will provide detailed records of service work, restoration and the conversion from left-hand to right-hand drive with photographs.

SUMMARY
