THE PORSCHE 911
A 'modern classic' if ever there was one, Porsche's long running 911 arrived in 1964, replacing the 356. Two years after the original Coupe's introduction, the convertible 911 – the 'Targa', named in honor of Porsche's numerous victories in the Sicilian classic – arrived in 1966. Expected US safety legislation had prompted an ingenious approach to the soft-top 911, the Targa sporting a hefty roll-over bar to protect the occupants in the event of an inversion, together with removable roof and rear hood sections which were stowable in the boot. The ever-popular Targa would continue well into the 1990s, sharing countless mechanical and styling developments with its closed cousin along the way.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This beautiful and rare highly optioned Euro spec 1980 Porsche 911SC was delivered new in Switzerland to its first owner.
Stunning color combination Petroleum Blue over Pasha interior, featuring rare options per COA: rear wiper, Euro model small bumper guards, electric door windows, Becker radio, and Pasha interior.
Two previous owners in Switzerland, the third in Italy before it went to the Netherlands. The service booklet shows dealer entries from both countries. The owner's manuals are in the Italian language.
Unmolested car and very original, it still retains its original paint and interior, and engine and gearbox; this car has been well taken care of throughout the years.
It is now offered for sale for the first time in the U.S., and it will be delivered with all documentations, owner's manual, service book, spare tire, and tool kit.
The car has gone through a recent service, along with a new set of tires, and has a genuine Targa top with brand new locking mechanisms.
It is ready to go to be enjoyed and is highly collectible.
