DESCRIPTION

When the Porsche 964 was first introduced in 1989, Porsche made a point of the fact that it was 85% different from the outgoing 911. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the introduction of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Such was its success, that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory.

This particular C16 UK right-hand drive manual 964 Targa was delivered new to its first owner, a Mr. John Bennett by the (then) Porsche Main Agent, Roger Clark Motorsport. Finished in special order 'Diamant Blau' with dark blue leather piped grey, the car also came specified with electric windows and door mirrors, electrically adjustable sports seats, 17" Carrera Cup alloy wheels, a rear windscreen wiper, and a Clifford Alarm. During his tenure, Mr. Bennett had the car maintained by the supplying dealer for which there is a comprehensive file of bills. In 1996 Roger Clark Motorsport went into receivership and so maintenance duties were transferred to Arlington Porsche of Northampton. Around the summer of 2000, the car passed onto its next owner and an MoT certificate records the mileage as 121,196 miles at that time.

By 2002 the car had covered 131,204 miles and it was decided by the owner, Mr. J. Gregory to have an engine refresh. Independent Porsche specialist, Hartech Automotive, carried out a top-end engine overhaul, which included cleaning and inspecting the cylinder heads, de-coking heads & valves, re-cutting of valve seats, new exhaust valves & guides, new piston rings and new gaskets and seals. At the same time, a new clutch was fitted, new hoses and a new engine surround. There is an invoice for £3,719 for the work carried out, along with a full car condition report from the aforementioned specialist. From 2002 to 2015, the car was in Belfast, Northern Ireland with McEvoy Motors carrying out the majority of the service work during that period for which there are numerous invoices in the history file.

In July '15 this Targa was serviced by marque specialist, 'Nine Excellence' before our vendor acquired it in August of that year. A customer of Parr Motorsport previously, our vendor sent the car there in December '15 where an inspection was carried out, tappets were adjusted, the cylinder head bolts tightened and the engine steam cleaned. Other work carried out at that time included removing the steering rack and having it fully refurbished, replacing both wing seals, fitting a new spoiler wall and cleaning of the idle control valve. The final invoice for this work totalled £3,058.

In the early part of this year the car was sent to TrimTech Automotive, where it was treated to a new Targa roof including linings and seals, recovered door cards, fitting of front 2-way JL audio speakers & Pioneer speakers on the parcel tray, stripping of interior, repair of seat electrics, repairing electric window wiring and new studs to under-bonnet carpet. Further interior work included making and fitting new replacement carpet throughout along with a set of new matching over mats. Invoices in the history file for this trim work total £3,965. Most recently our vendor had the wheels fully refurbished by Parr Motorsport.

Having recently driven to the Laon Classic in France and covering 800 miles without missing a beat, a busy work schedule for our vendor mean that it's unlikely that he will be behind the wheel of this lovely Targa in the near future, hence its sale. Supplied with a UK V5c and MoT tested until 19th August '17, the current odometer reading is 141,883 miles and the car retains its original tool kit & tyre inflator. This car represents the perfect opportunity to buy a useable 964 Targa, which has had much attention lavished upon it over the past year - a great way to get into Porsche ownership at an attractive guide price!
