The interior is fully original, with preserved black seats and cabin. Only the carpets have been replaced to refresh the look. The onboard instruments are fully functional.

Model history summary:
The Porsche 911 Targa was born in 1967, in response to regulatory challenges in the United States. At the time, safety standards threatened convertibles, prompting Porsche to design a model with a fixed stainless steel rollover bar. This innovative concept, named "Targa" in honour of the Targa Florio, the iconic race where Porsche had triumphed, offered a compromise between coupe and cabriolet. It was equipped with a removable hardtop and, initially, a removable plastic rear window, later replaced by a glass version.
The 911 Targa retains the fundamental characteristics of the 911, such as the rear-mounted flat-six engine. Early versions were powered by a 2. 0-litre engine developing between 110 and 160 horsepower depending on the variant. It combined a 2+2 layout and Porsche’s characteristic suspension, delivering precise handling despite the rear-engine layout.
The Targa quickly established itself as an icon, distinguished by its unique style and its ties to the world of competition. Even today, the Targa version remains a cornerstone of the 911 range, embodying Porsche’s innovation and heritage for more than five decades.
