An appealing and usable example of the classic open-top sports car, having undergone an extensive restoration. Power comes from a 2.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. This left-hand drive 911 Targa S is finished in a handsome Metallic Silver, presenting in very good cosmetic and mechanical order. The engine is not matching numbers but is a genuine S specification block; however, the fuel injection system has been removed at some point in its life, and PMO carburettors added instead. The car rides on replica 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, though the spare wheel is a genuine Fuchs item. The seller notes that the rear brake calipers appear to be steel. A factory oil cooler in the front quarter is present, along with the correct S specification lower front spoiler. Included is the invoice and paperwork from its first service and dyno tune following the engine rebuild. The odometer indicates 4,993 miles, though the true mileage is not known. As part of the restoration, it was taken back to bare metal, with no signs of bodywork damage. Its Metallic Silver paintwork has been resprayed, now presenting in superb condition. The front spoiler was wrapped in protective film, and while there is a chip in the film, the paint on the spoiler is not damage. The right rear taillight has a minor crack. Inside, the black leatherette upholstery is in good condition. While some parts of the interior trim have been restored, the seats have been left as-is, given they were found to be in impressive original order. The seller reports that there are extra holes in the parcel shelf. Its Targa top presents very well. Mechanically, this 911 is in great shape, having received a comprehensive rebuild of its engine and driveline. No electrical faults have been detected, and all the instruments were checked as part of the restoration. The car’s most recent service was in October 2021 at 4,970 miles, when VW Performance Centre replaced the engine oil, filter, and dyno-tuned the rebuilt engine. Prior to this, the complete driveline has benefited from a full rebuild. Having been extensively restored with impressive attention to detail, this Porsche 911 S 2.2 Targa is excellent overall condition, retaining original parts wherever possible. It is an iconic classic sports car, in an elegant colour combination, and is now ready to be thoroughly enjoyed as a weekend toy or as a practical road trip companion.
