Sold for $177k pretty strong money for such an scruffy example.

. . . '73 (last year) Longhood + 'S' + Targa + RHD = serious £age

And we've seen WAAAY worse cars come back . . .

This one looks much tidier. Might even be that all the kooky/hard-to-get RH goodies are present + accounted for. Patch/fit a few panels, give 'er a good schpritzing, vacuum the carpets, etc-etc-etc . . . = easier money than waiting for a CD to mature. More fun, besides

And Euros love their Targas. Wasn't there another that sold recently @auction for >$300k?

Most o' these prolly went extinct 20 or 30 MoTs, ago, so . . .


. . . everybody got lucky, here --- IMO

'. . . Offered here is a very rare Porsche 911 2.4 S Targa. It is thought AFN UK only imported two in this configuration in 1973 and it is also thought that of around just 18 RHD 911S Targas imported in total, just 9 cars remain in the UK - making it possibly the rarest early 911 of them all. The iconic 2.7 RS produced alongside now commands well in excess of £500,000 - with around 100 RHD cars produced, but the 2.4 S had just 20 bhp less and a sweeter, higher revving engine, making this model the absolute ultimate open 911 motoring in it's purest form, accompanied by the ultimate soundtrack - the RS only being offered as a coupe . . .

. . . The property of just four owners from new, it is a very genuine 911S with matching numbers and is finished in the best colour combination, black with black. The mileage is just 89,000 miles and it is a completely standard car with the exception of RS door cards with desirable lightweight pull handles. It comes complete with factory steering wheel and Fuchs road wheels. A comprehensive restoration was completed about eight years ago and the history file contains a full record of the procedure . . .'

Sold = £195k/$301k/€266k
