1984 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Targa

There are very few cars that can boast a history anything like that of the Porsche 911. This was the gem of a sports car that simply blew everything away back in 1964. Since then, the 911 has evolved over the years to become one of the world's true motoring legends. Without doubt, part of the appeal of this iconic model is that its soul has always remained true to the original design. Porsche started to manufacture the 'Targa' top 911 from the mid-sixties and kept it in production in various forms right up to the current Porsche 997 Targa. Up until 1993 its original design and popularity had always revolved around the fact that you simply turn two clips, lift the top off, fold it up into about 2/3rds of the original size and store it in the boot and you have a 'sunny day' 911.

This particular 3.2 litre Carrera Targa was delivered new on 2nd May 1984 via Motortune Limited, London to its first owner, a Mr. Sturley. Finished in Black with a black leatherette and black cloth inlays, the car was ordered with heated door mirrors, forged alloy wheels, rear wiper, front and rear spoilers and tinted glass. The accompanying history file contains the service book which shows over 10 stamps from Porsche main dealers and marque specialist for maintenance work over the years.

Our vendor is a serial Porsche owner and, after selling his beloved 356 a few years ago, needed to fill the void left in his garage, and this was the ideal candidate and so it was purchased by him in 2013. During his ownership, the car has been maintained annually by independent Porsche specialist 'Marque 21' in Dorset. The original rear spoiler was removed as the owner preferred the way the car looked without it, but it does accompany the sale of the car.

Supplied with a UK V5c and MOT tested until 16th October 2017, this 911 3.2 Carrera Targa offers an affordable entry into Porsche ownership. This is a great car and one that will be a reluctant sale for our vendor who has obviously cherished it.
