- Car from famous French actor, director and scriptwriter Vincent Lindon
- Nice Targa version, matching numbers
- Recent important mechanical work done
- No reserve

Having rolled out of Porsche's Stuttgart factory in 1970, this Porsche 911 was registered for the first time on September 10, 1971 in a French Porsche dealer, Sonauto. It is an interesting Targa version, powered by the 2.2T engine, which has been slightly lighter than its original one. The interior is in black leatherette with matching mottled carpets and the mat on the floor are in good condition. The meter showed 66,752 km. The dashboard includes a radio period. The car has just benefited from a complete mechanical overhaul at Sampaio. On this occasion, the engine was fully reconditioned, with the replacement of the seals, the segments, valves, etc. The gearbox has been checked and its tightness redone. The oven Michelin tires have seen very little use. The bodywork needs some care to fine its beautiful original aspect. The car will be delivered with its original Sonauto maintenance service book, original owner manual and its important file of invoices. The actor, director and scriptwriter Vincent Lindon.


The Porsche 911 was first manufactured in Stuttgart in 1970 and was first registered on September 10, 1971. It is an interesting targa version with a 2.2T engine and a sober "light ivory" livery. originally, since refreshed in a slightly lighter shade. The interior is in black skaï, with matching chenille carpets and protective mats in beautiful presentation. During our examination, the meter showed 66 752 km. The dashboard includes a vintage car radio. This Targa belongs to the actor Vincent Lindon since 2004 and has just benefited from a complete mechanical restoration at Etablissement Sampaio near Le Mans. On this occasion, the engine was fully reconditioned, with replacement of seals, segments, valves, etc. The gearbox has also been checked and its tightness redone. The 4 Michelin tires are little used. The bodywork will have to benefit from some care to find its beautiful aspect of origin and will remain then to its new owner only to take advantage of this attractive version Targa, coming from the actor with the 60 films to its credit, French director and screenwriter Vincent Lindon, who received the interpretation prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 and the César for Best Actor in 2016 . . .'
