• Rare 'Ӧlklappe' model
• Last of the 'pre-facelift' 911s
• Matching numbers, chassis and engine
• Original service book
• Remarkable 'time-warp' condition
• Italian registration document
This Porsche 911E Targa has the external filler ('Ölklappe') for the engine's dry-sump oil tank, which was fitted to cars built during 1972 only. Hitherto, the tank had been positioned behind the right rear wheel, but for '72 it was moved forwards in order to improve weight distribution. The tank's hasty return to its original position and the filler's relocation to within the engine bay was prompted by the fact that service station attendants often mistook it for the fuel filler! It is estimated that only 989 examples were made, making the 'Ölklappe' particularly sought after by purists as 'the one to have'.
Delivered through the Arrezzo-based official Porsche and Volkswagen dealer Aretina Motori on 25th July 1972 to the first and only owner, this stunning 911E Targa is offered in remarkable time-warp condition. Never restored, it was even kept inside the house where the first owner's family still lives. On inspection the car appeared delightfully solid and unmolested: the original interior still presents very well; the original steering wheel is still present; and even the carpets would present very well after professional cleaning. The body appears very solid, and the paint, although lightly scratched, would probably respond well to professional restoration and detailing.
According to the family, the Porsche was last used some 25 years ago has been laid up in the garage since then. Careful recommissioning will be required before further use.
Importantly, the car still has its original engine (as recorded in the original service book) and its original Italian libretto from 1972. The odometer currently reads just over 89,000 kilometres. The car is offered with the aforementioned original Italian libretto and service book (in its original plastic pouch); Porsche service network brochure; and original second key with the original numbered key card. This is a wonderful opportunity to become only the second custodian in 52 years of this stunning 911E Targa, and to breath new life into this rare Ӧlklappe model. Close inspection recommended.

Footnotes
Un propriétaire unique depuis l'origine
1972 Porsche 911E 2,4 litres coupé Targa 'Ӧlklappe'
Châssis n° 9112210722
Moteur n° 6221475
• Rare modèle 'Ӧlklappe'
• Dernière des 911 antérieures au facelift
• Châssis et moteur à numéros concordants
• Carnet d'entretien d'origine
• Remarquable hors du temps
• Document d'immatriculation italien
Cette Porsche 911E Targa est munie d'une entrée extérieure ('Ölklappe') pour le remplissage du réservoir d'huile de son moteur à carter sec, qu'on ne trouve que sur les voitures de 1972. Jusqu'alors, le réservoir était en arrière de la roue arrière droite, mais il fut déplacé vers l'avant en 1972 pour améliorer la répartition des masses. Il fallut toutefois le remettre rapidement à son emplacement d'origine, et ramener le remplissage sous le capot, car les employés des stations-service prenaient souvent ce dernier pour le remplissage d'essence !
Livrée le 25 juillet 1972 à son premier et unique propriétaire par Aretina Motori, le concessionnaire officiel Porsche et Volkswagen d'Arrezzo, cette magnifique 911E Targa se présente dans un état remarquable, épargné par le temps. Elle n'a jamais été restaurée et a même été conservée à l'intérieur de la maison dans laquelle la famille de son premier propriétaire vit toujours. Son examen a révélé un aspect robuste et dépourvu d'atteintes : son habitacle a toujours belle allure, son volant est toujours celui d'origine et même ses tapis feront belle figure une fois nettoyés de façon professionnelle. Sa carrosserie semble intacte et sa peinture, bien que légèrement éraflée, pourra probablement bénéficier avec succès d'une restauration et d'une rénovation effectuées par un professionnel.
Selon la famille, cette Porsche a roulé pour la dernière fois il y a quelque 25 ans et n'a plus quitté son garage depuis. Une remise en état sérieuse s'impose avant toute nouvelle utilisation.
Il est important de noter que la voiture possède toujours son moteur d'origine (ainsi que le mentionne son carnet d'entretien d'origine) et son libretto italien de 1972, lui aussi d'origine. Son compteur affiche à peine plus de 89 000 km. Elle est munie de son libretto italien d'origine, déjà mentionné, et de son carnet d'entretien (dans sa pochette en plastique d'origine), de la liste des points de service du réseau Porsche, de sa deuxième clé et de sa carte numérotée associée, toutes deux d'origine. Il y a là une merveilleuse occasion de devenir le deuxième dépositaire en 52 ans de cette magnifique 911E Targa et d'insuffler une nouvelle vie à ce rare modèle Ӧlklappe. Un examen minutieux est recommandé.
