1981 Porsche 911 SE Sport Targa

In 1978 Porsche introduced their new version of the 911, it was called the '911SC'. It featured a 3.0-litre six cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. Originally, power output was 180bhp, later 188bhp and then in 1981 it was increased to 204bhp.

It was during production of this car that Porsche AG decided the long-term fate of the 911. In 1979 Porsche had made plans to replace the 911 with their new 928. But sales of the 911 remained so strong that Porsche were forced to revise its strategy and they decided instead to inject new life into the 911. The 911 SC is commonly recognised as the benchmark of that decision, and with total sales reaching 58,914, the public had spoken.

Offered here is this 911 SC Targa Sport in Grand Prix White with a Metropole Blue leather interior, with white seat piping. This car is fitted with the very rare M14 Sport Pack, which consisted of 16" wheels, front and rear spoilers, Bilstein dampers and a thicker anti-roll bar. Other notable optional extras fitted when the car was new included, electric sports front seats, electric heated door mirrors and a Blaupunkt stereo. Contained within the history file is the original service book which shows 15 service stamps, carried out mainly by Porsche but also some marque specialists. The last service was carried out in November '14 by a Porsche Main Dealer. The drivers manual, bills and old MoT's are also included in the history file, along with a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche.Now showing a believed genuine 76,864 miles on the odometer, this SC Targa offers the opportunity to enjoy the "brand' this Spring.
