Description
Magnificent Porsche 911 2. 4T Targa in concours condition, following a complete restoration carried out in 2018.
This example was delivered new to Texas (a neighbouring state and comparable to California for its dry climate) in October 1971, with its first registration in January 1972. It remained in Texas until its export to France in 2015. The early 1970s mark the ultimate culmination of the 911, with a further increase in displacement from 2. 2 to 2. 4 litres, giving the 911T 130bhp. Only the versions intended for the United States, like this one, benefited from mechanical fuel injection, bringing power to 140bhp.
It is also at this period that the legendary “Ölklappe” appeared, an oil filler flap located on the right rear wing, introduced after moving the oil tank in front of the rear axle. This configuration, directly inspired by the mythical 911R, was abandoned from the 1973 model year due to frequent confusion with the fuel filler cap.
Its highly desirable Gulf Blue 328 (Porsche-era optional colour) was ideally chosen during the restoration and elegantly highlights the contrasts with the front/ rear black grilles and the matching Fuchs wheels (period option). The engine type 911/ 51 is matching, as is the 5-speed manual gearbox type 915/ 02, which was also offered as an option. Among the other options are tinted glass, headrests, a leather steering wheel and an original Blaupunkt radio, still present and carefully replaced with a Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) system offering modern features (GPS, Bluetooth, audio streaming).
