THIS 2.4S Targa
One of only 925 F-series 911 Targas built by Porsche, this car was sold in Europe in 1973. According to the paperwork the 911 would arrive in Belgium around 2010 and would stay with the same owner in Belgium until 2024. The last owner bought the car with 62.634km on the odo; which today shows just under 65.000km.
The paint measurements are good all around the car. The interior looks completely original including carpeting, seats and upholstery. There are no traces of accidents or repairs. All four wheels were found to be correct and were recently fitted with period-correct and Porsche approved Pirelli P6000 tyres. The chrome and factory-tinted windows were left in their original condition. According to its last owner and our inspection, no evidence of repairs or prior accident damage could be found.
The factory S engine and MFI pump are still in place and our compression and road test show a healthy and powerful engine. A recent overhaul of the suspension, new tyres, all fluids, filters, and more was performed to maximize its handling and performance.
The car left the factory painted in the rare "Special Colours" shade called Royal Purple but was repainted silver before the last owner bought the car. Today this Targa presents in a nice condition overall with slight signs of age and patina around. Providing the benefits of open-air motoring with the security of a closed coupe, early 911 Targas offer the best of both worlds and prove to be eminently usable today—impressive when considering that this example left Stuttgart nearly 50 years ago.
A 1973 911 S Targa is an excellent automobile in every regard, one that combines both performance, practicality, and the thrill of open-air motoring. This the perfect Targa to enjoy as is or to restore to its extremely rare Royal Purple shade just like it left the factory .
A wonderful opportunity to own one these highly collectible 2.4-litre Porsche 911s.
