Description
Magnificent Porsche 911 2. 4T Targa in concours condition, following a complete restoration carried out in 2018.
This example was delivered new in Texas (a neighbouring state comparable to California for its dry climate) in October 1971, with first registration in January 1972. The car remained in Texas until its export to France in 2015.
The early seventies mark the ultimate maturation of the 911, with a further displacement increase from 2. 2 to 2. 4 litres giving the 911T a power of 130 bhp. Only the versions intended for the United States, like this one, benefited from mechanical fuel injection raising power to 140 bhp.
It is also at this period that the legendary "Ölklappe" appears, an oil flap located on the right rear wing, implemented 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 cap.
Its highly desirable Gulf Blue 328 (Porsche era colour option) was ideally chosen during the restoration and elegantly highlights the contrasts with the front/ rear black grilles and the matching Fuchs wheels (historic option). The engine type 911/ 51 is original, as is the 5-speed manual gearbox of type 915/ 02, also offered as an option. Among other options it has tinted windows, headrests, leather steering wheel and an original Blaupunkt radio, still available and replaced with care by a Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) system offering modern features (GPS, Bluetooth, audio streaming).
