The first of countless up-grades to Porsche's perennial 911 came in 1966 with the introduction of the 911S. Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs five-spoked alloy wheels, the 'S' featured a heavily revised engine producing 160bhp. Introduced on the 1969 range, the extension of the wheelbase by 57mm represented the first major revision of the original 911 design. Production of these 'B Programme' cars, as they are known, began in August 1968, their introduction coinciding with the adoption of Bosch mechanical fuel injection on the 'Normal' and 'S' models. The latter now had 170bhp on tap, which was good enough for a top seed of 220km/ h.
Two years after the coup's introduction in 1964, a convertible 911 - the 'Targa', named in honour of Porsche's numerous victories in the Sicilian Targa Florio
had become available. Expected US safety legislation had prompted an ingenious approach to the soft-top 911, the Targa sporting a hefty roll-over bar to protect the occupants in the event of an inversion, together with removable roof and rear hood sections, which were stowed in the boot when not in use. For 1969 a quieter and less leak-prone fixed rear window replaced the less than perfect rear hood, and the ever-popular Targa would continue in this form well into the 1990s, sharing countless mechanical and styling developments with its closed cousin along the way.
The car offered here is one of the rare C-programme (1970) 911S Targa models, only 729 of which were produced, and which with 180bhp on tap was one of the two most powerful models in the range, the other being the 911S fixed-head Coup. The car retains its matching numbers engine and has had only two owners from new. The first owner in the USA, David Brzezinski of Pennsylvania, used the Porsche for approximately 10 years before he had a problem with the engine and left the car in his wife's driveway. It stayed there for around 20 years before being moved to a barn. In 2015 the Porsche was bought by our vendor, who had it professionally restored to very high standards by specialists in Germany. There are restoration photographs and invoices on file totalling more than 250, 000, and the car also comes with an impressive history file; its original US title from Pennsylvania; the current German registration document; and all its books including the original service book. A wonderful opportunity to acquire this rare and most sought-after 911S Targa model.
