This particular model is part of the 911's iconic 'G-Series,' which was produced from 1974 to 1989. The Targa, characterised by its distinctive removable roof panel and a rear roll-bar, offers a unique blend of open-air driving and the structural integrity of a coupe.

With a 0-60 mph time of around 6.5 seconds, the Targa is quick enough to satisfy most enthusiasts. The 911's rear-engine layout contributes to its exceptional handling, making it a joy to drive on winding roads. The design of the 1984 Targa remains timeless, featuring the classic Porsche silhouette with elegant curves and a wide stance. Its distinctive Targa bar and large glass rear window add to its charm while improving visibility. Inside, the cabin is driver-focused, with high-quality materials and an ergonomic layout that enhances the driving experience. The supportive seats and iconic five-gauge instrument cluster emphasize its sporting heritage. Collectors appreciate the Porsche 911 Targa not only for its performance but also for its iconic status within the automotive world. Its blend of practicality and open-top enjoyment makes it a versatile choice for both weekend drives and daily commutes. As a symbol of Porsche's commitment to engineering excellence, the Targa remains a sought-after classic, celebrating decades of automotive history and driving passion.

The Certificate of Authenticity confirms this example was manufactured in 1984 although it was not registered in the UK until 1987. A full body restoration has been carried out, with photographic evidence. We are advised this 911 drives well with no known faults, the 3.2 litre engine is reported to be running well and the five-speed gearbox operates as it should. The blue coachwork is in good order with some minor age-related marks. Supplied with a history folder and V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 17th April 2025. Air-cooled 911's continue to be increasingly popular, we expect this example to be keenly contested at auction. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
