Seller's Notes

This 911 SC is a striking example of the versatile Targa model, subtly upgraded with Turbo-style wide arches and custom seats. An Australian-delivered matching-numbers car; it was originally delivered new to John Newwell Porsche Centre in Darlinghurst, Sydney, in January 1980. As a 1980 model year car, it is powered by a 3.0-litre aluminium air-cooled flat-six engine producing around 152kW (204bhp), which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The interior has been stylishly retrimmed, with black vinyl and houndstooth fabric centre panels over deep-bolster sport seats, and the same treatment for the rear fold-down seats. The odometer shows an indicated 185,011 Km, although the seller notes that the odometer has been repaired. The 911 presents smartly in Grand Prix White with a contrasting black Targa roll hoop and removable roof panel. The fetching interior features custom-trimmed seats in black vinyl and houndstooth cloth, complemented by black carpeting. It rides on 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with matte black centres, shod with Yokohama Advan tyres. Features includes a leather-trimmed Momo steering wheel, heated rear screen, high-level brake light, rear lap belts, a bespoke Gulf livery-inspired ignition surround, a Kenwood CD radio head unit, Kicker component speakers, and electric windows. The Porsche is accompanied by its logbook and spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: There are some minor stone chips to the paintwork. The most recent inspection test was in August 2023, resulting in a pass with no advisories. The seller informs that the car was given a general service at 183,000 Km in August 2022. During the seller’s three-year ownership, the vehicle has been fitted with new shock absorbers, suspension rubbers, alternator, alternator fan, warm up regulator, cold start valve, electrical aerial motor, heat exchangers and heater blower motor. This 911 SC Targa is a stylishly finished example of the ever-popular modern classic sports car, now featuring custom interior trim and Turbo-style rear arches. It is said to be in good condition for its age, and makes for an enjoyable classic with its air-cooled engine and the versatility of the removable Taga roof. It is ready to be enjoyed and should prove to be a rewarding companion for spirited weekend drives and longer tours alike.
