The Appeal
By the 1980s. the Porsche 911 was secured as an unwavering classic car. Its smooth bodywork and impressive performance had kept it in production through multiple iterations - and in 1984, the company unveiled a new Carrera, the first instance of the name since the 70s.
The 3.2L Carrera was reportedly 'around 70% new', with a larger powerplant and a transmission taken from the 915. It was, of course, another smash hit - a smart, disciplined fusion of track racer and road sports car. Timeless, thrilling and capable, these targa-top cars have become highly desirable; and this early example is a particularly rare spot.
This smart, vibrant red car has been maintained and preserved in its original condition without any modifications. As if to sweeten the deal, the car has been a regular participant in Porsche rallies across Ireland, showcasing its reliability and performance. With a complete engine rebuild carried out at 90,000 miles, this 911 Carrera Targa is prepared to offer its next owner many more miles of high-octane driving.
