This Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa is a well-preserved example of the stylish and modern classic sports car, offered from long-term ownership, and in smart, highly original condition. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, delivering around 172kW to the rear wheels via the sought-after five-speed Getrag G50 manual transmission. The odometer shows 93,057 miles, but there was a documented speedometer replacement in 2001, so the total mileage is understood to be around 145,000 miles. A right-hand drive, UK-market example, this 911 was imported into Australia in 2012, and has been with the seller for the past eight years. This 911 Targa is finished in the handsome hue of Grand Prix White with a black vinyl-trimmed roof panel, over a dark blue leather-trimmed interior, featuring matching blue carpet, and offset by white piping on the seats. As an original UK-market model, this example features the factory-fitted ‘Sport’ package, which included upgraded Bilstein shock absorbers, sports seats, a black front lip spoiler, and the iconic ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler. It rides on a set of 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in gloss black with anodised lips, which are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres on the front, and Pilot Sport 3s at the rear. The factory specification includes headlamp washers, a rear windscreen wiper, a green top-tinted front windscreen, electric windows, heater and ventilation controls, and electrically adjustable front seats. Aftermarket additions include a Momo Corse steering wheel, a Kenwood stereo, and upgraded door speakers. The car will be supplied with a tool roll, a spare wheel, all the owner’s manuals with a red plastic wallet, a spare key, a partially stamped service booklet, and a file of ownership history/documentation, certificates, and maintenance invoices. The Grand Prix paintwork is reported to be in good overall condition given the car’s age, though the seller notes a negligible surface small rust bubble on the front driver’s-side wing. There is also cracking on the front bumper, a scuff on the offside rear bumper overrider, touched-up chips on the edge of the driver’s door, deterioration on the rear side window rubbers, and slight bubbling on the nearside lower targa roll-over bar. Stepping inside, the cabin is presented in generally good shape given the car’s usage. The seller notes wear on the driver’s seat bolsters. There is also slight sagging on the targa panel’s headlining, a small split on the driver’s seat outer thigh bolster, a repair on the offside front targa seal, and modest signs of use around the trim. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. This 911’s most recent maintenance was carried out by Autohaus Hamiltons, which consisted of new brakes being fitted.
