Highlights
- One of only 597 Carrera 4 Targas produced for 1992, from a total 964 Targa production run of just 1,329 examples
- Rare Horizon Blue Metallic (37X) exterior with triple-blue Cobalt leather interior, a striking and uncommon colour combination
- Matching-numbers engine and gearbox, we are told
- Reported entirely original, with factory stickers still present
- Dual-mass flywheel and complete clutch reportedly replaced by Porsche within the last 5,000 kilometres
The Appeal
The 964 Targa holds a special place in the Porsche pantheon as the last generation to wear the iconic stainless-steel roll hoop and removable roof panel, a design that would give way to the 993's sliding glass arrangement. Paired here with the Carrera 4's all-wheel drive system and the legendary 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six, the result is one of the most characterful and capable 911s of its era. With only 597 Carrera 4 Targas built for 1992, it is also among the rarest.
This particular example is made all the more desirable by its specification. Finished in the seldom-seen Horizon Blue Metallic (37X) over a full Cobalt Blue leather interior with blue carpets, a triple-blue combination that the vendor describes as rare, it presents a genuinely distinctive alternative to the more commonly encountered Guards Red and Grand Prix White cars. The vendor states that the car is entirely original, right down to its factory stickers, and that the paintwork, interior and mechanical components are all in fine order.
Crucially, the engine and gearbox are reported to be matching numbers, and a significant service including a complete clutch and dual-mass flywheel replacement was reportedly carried out by Porsche just 5,000 kilometres ago. The car is accompanied by its Porsche service book, owner's manual, original tools, jack and a collection of invoices. With a contrôle technique valid to March 2028, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the more collectable air-cooled 911 variants in a truly distinctive specification.
