Highlights
- Showing just 48,945 miles which is believed to be correct
- Exceedingly original throughout
- UK-supplied in right-hand drive
- One former registered keeper
- A bona fide ‘barn find’ and excellent candidate for restoration
- The engine runs using an auxiliary pump and fuel supply
The Appeal
Us petrolheads are a peculiar breed. We can’t resist the allure of a so-called ‘barn find’ as we know that beneath a blanket of dust, cobwebs and faded paintwork, more often than not lies something rather special.
This 1977 Porshce 911 Targa is exactly the sort of diamond in the rough enthusiasts are looking for. A supremely original UK-supplied 911 with just 48,945 miles on the odometer and one former registered keeper is a very exciting find.
Having been off the road since 2008/9, this car has been dry-stored although now requires restoration although is in running order. It’s understood that it was owned by one family from new until it was put away and there’s good reason to believe the indicated mileage is correct: A close examination of the finer details shows how incredibly original this car is, retaining its dealer stickers and even the original advisory tag on the spare wheel!
For those seeking the opportunity to resurrect an iconic classic sports car, this surely is an unmissable opportunity.
The History and Paperwork
- UK market car in right-hand drive
- Retains its UK registration and V5C
- One former registered keeper
- The vendor was informed that this car was owned by one family from new until it was taken off the road in 2008/9
- Dry stored and only recently unearthed
- The last MOT expired in November 2009
- Now exempt from road tax, MOT testing and ULEZ charges
The Condition
- Appears very complete
- No signs of accident damage
- The bodywork remains straight and the doors fit well
- It did have a colour change in the 90s
- The Targa roof fits well and appears in good order
- Equipped with a heated rear window and rear wiper
- No notable wear to the original badging, glass, trim and lights
- The paintwork now shows its age although presents well overall
- There is evidence of corrosion to various areas of bodywork and to the underside
- Inside, the upholstery has survived well overall
- The seat covers and carpets would benefit from replacement or repair, although appear quite serviceable

The Mechanics
- 3.0-litre air-cooled NA flat-six

- All looks highly original inside the engine compartment

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
