An honest and unrestored example of the classic air-cooled sports car, which has recently been mechanically recommissioned. Under the rear engine lid is the 2.7-litre flat-six, producing up to 121kW / 162bhp, coupled to the four-speed ‘clutchless manual’ Sportomatic gearbox. The car was first registered in Hong Kong, before being imported to Victoria, Australia in 2002. It was recommissioned in April 2022 by its owner, who is a qualified mechanic. This 911 is finished in Graphite Silver, and features the correct finishes on the Targa roll hoop and hard top, plus a ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler. It rides on a set of 15-inch ‘cookie cutter’ wheels, which are wrapped in a combination of Bridgestone and Habilead tyres. Inside, there is black vinyl upholstery with leather front seat facings. The cabin is equipped with a Panasonic stereo, electric windows, VDO dials, Pioneer door-mounted speakers and an updated set of rear parcel shelf speakers. It will be accompanied by its original tool bag, jack and space saver wheel, along with a small collection of recent parts invoices. There has been no significant bodywork damage, but the vendor notes that a minor dent has been repaired. Its resprayed paintwork is in fair shape, with a smattering of stone chips across the front bumper and wing mirrors, along with a notable chip on the front-left wheel arch, a scuff on the rear-left corner and some peeling to the door handles, electric antenna, and Targa top panel. Inside, there is some creasing to the original upholstery, which has now developed an attractive ‘patina’ with age. There is visible discolouration and surface cracking on the driver’s seat, but the car remains eminently usable as-is. The driver’s side electric mirror is inoperative. There are no other known electrical or mechanical faults. The car was recommissioned in April 2022, where the qualified mechanic owner overhauled the fuel system with a new petrol tank, fuel pump, and fuel filter, and also renewed the distributor, rocker cover gaskets, six new injectors, six new platinum spark plugs, and a stainless-steel resonator delete, along with an overhauled CPR unit and torqued-down cylinder heads. The brakes were given new rotors, pads and hoses, a new reservoir bottle and master cylinder, and a set of overhauled callipers. The engine oil and filter were also replaced. A new air conditioning condenser and compressor will be supplied as spare parts, but have not been fitted. A new battery was installed a month before the recommissioning service, in March 2022. This Porsche 911 2.7 Targa is a good, usable example of the air-cooled classic sports car, which remains honest and unrestored. Benefiting from a comprehensive recommissioning service in April 2022, it is now ready to delight its next keeper on their favourite winding roads, though it would also make a prime candidate for some light refurbishment.
