The Appeal
The 997 Gen 2 Targa 4 just has everything going for it, with coupe or open top motoring available at the push of a button and all the performance and extra grip and security provided by the permanent 4-wheel drive system.
The 997 Targa has a few other tricks up its sleeve too - softer spring rates geared more for comfort, an extended leather interior and a clever rear window set-up that opens up like a hatchback.
Not to mention, it’s also an incarnation of the Porsche 911, one of the world’s greatest ever sports cars.
The History and Paperwork
• First registered in 2009
• Service history
• V5c present
• Current owner last 8 years
• Recorded as Cat D in 2013
• Owner’s wallet with manuals
• Two sets of keys
• Current MOT expires 24 November 2022
The current owner bought the car in 2015 knowing that it had been declared a Cat D, but the car had been professionally repaired and he has no details of what the original damage had been.
To look at the car you can’t tell and in 8 years it’s driven and performed in the way you’d expect it to with no problems at all.
The Interior
• Sand Beige full leather interior
• Air conditioning
• Targa roof and blind
• Electric heated memory seats
Comfortable and supportive seats covered in perforated leather and clear dials and instruments aplenty you have to admit that Porsche do put the 911 cabin together extremely well, which makes it always a great place to be.
With an unfortunate water stain on one of the rear seat bases caused by a leaky flask and a scuff on one of the seats the interior is in great condition throughout with everything reported to be working fully and correctly, including the all-important electric blind and sliding Targa glass roof.
The Exterior
• Fabulous colour and road presence
• Wider body than the standard 997
• Good all-round condition
The 997 Targa 4 has a slightly wider body than the standard 997 and, combined with the car’s Malachite Green Metallic paintwork looks all the meaner and better for it, sitting on nice alloy wheels it really does look the business.
There are a couple of stone chips at the front which could do with some attention, there’s a light scratch on the rear bumper that would probably polish out and the wheels have picked up quite a few kerbing scratches in their time but otherwise there’s nothing else of concern.
The Mechanics
• Service history
• 3.6 Litre
• Regularly serviced
• Only 13,000 miles covered over the last 8 years
One of many cars owned the car has been garaged, with regular oil changes and MOTs, but has been used less frequently during the last couple of years, which is why it is being auctioned.
Apart from an incorrect headlamp warning that pops up occasionally the car is reported to be in good all round health and condition.
The Summary
Porsche power, refinery and a particularly unusual colour combination...there is no substitute.

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.
