This Porsche 911 S 2.7 Targa is a desirable classic air-cooled sports car, offered from long-term ownership and reported to be in highly original condition. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 2.7-litre air-cooled flat-six, with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, delivering around 131kW to the rear wheels via a rare three-speed ‘Sportomatic’ semi-automatic transmission. This original Australian-market example was first registered in August 1977, and has been with the seller for nine years. It has been driven and enjoyed as intended, though well maintained, and the odometer shows 353,288 Kms from new. This 911 S 2.7 Targa is finished in a timeless shade of silver with a contrasting satin-black targa bar, and a black vinyl-trimmed targa roof panel, over a black leather and cloth-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in satin-black with anodised ‘petal’ spokes and lips, and fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes ‘impact’ bumpers, a top-tinted windscreen, headlamp washers, heater and ventilation controls, and a heated rear screen. This example has been fitted with a Pioneer CD stereo. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, two sets of keys, the owner’s manual with a red plastic wallet, the stamped service booklet, a Haynes workshop manual, and six maintenance invoices dating back to 2015. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: two very minor scratches on the rear wheel arches, and a slight patina on the leather areas of the front seats. The seller notes a slight oil leak. The most recent REGO test was conducted in 2015, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The last maintenance was performed in March 2019 at 350,141 Kms by Nineauto, which consisted of an annual service, including an engine oil and filter change, a puncture repair, and the ignition barrel and key being replaced. A full service and thorough inspection was conducted in March 2015 at 345,890 Kms by DHM Auto Solutions, which included the ignition points cleaned and reset, the air inlet box being modified and a blow-off valve fitted, an engine oil and filter change, two new CV joint boots, a new fuel pump, the fuel tank flushed, the warm-up regulator replaced, all new brake pads, the brake master cylinder replaced, and a new steering bearing sleeve fitted. Other notable maintenance includes a new Sportomatic transmission servo fitted, new front boot lid struts, the throttle linkage from gearbox to engine repaired, and new gear selector contact points in August 2015, and replacement tyres and wiper blades.
