1969 Porsche 911T 2.0-Litre Targa
Chassis no. 119110661
Engine no. 6191463

• Exported new to the USA
• Desirable factory-fitted five-speed gearbox
• Professionally restored in Europe in 2017
• Porsche Certificate of Authenticity

First seen in 1966, the Targa represented an ingenious approach to the concept of a soft-top 911. Its design resulting from expected US safety legislation, the Targa sported a hefty roll-over bar to protect the occupants in the event of an inversion, plus removable roof and rear hood sections stowable in the boot. By 1969 a quieter and less leak-prone fixed glass rear window had replaced the soft rear hood, and the ever-popular Targa would continue in this form into the 1990s.

Its accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity reveals that this matching-numbers 911T Targa was originally finished in Blue Metallic with Houndstooth Check fabric interior and delivered with the following options: electric, heated, tinted glass windscreen; five-speed gearbox; comfort equipment; and special paint. This car also has the desirable Fuchs wheels. The aforementioned certificate was issued in 1993 by Porsche Cars North America Inc, to whom the 911 was delivered new; subsequently it was shipped to Germany and finally to Switzerland. Professionally restored in Europe in 2017, the Targa comes with related invoices detailing the works carried out and parts purchased (inspection recommended). Described by the vendor as in generally good condition throughout, the car also comes with its service booklet, a Swiss Carte Grise, and the aforementioned Certificate of Authenticity.

1969 Porsche 911T 2,0 litres Targa
Châssis n° 119110661
Moteur n° 6191463
• Exportée neuve aux Etats-Unis
• Appréciable boîte cinq rapports montée en usine
• Restaurée en 2017 par un professionnel, en Europe
• Certificat d'authenticité Porsche

Introduite en 1966, la Targa était une approche ingénieuse de 911 découvrable. Sa conception résultait de la réglementation attendue aux Etats-Unis en matière de sécurité : un robuste arceau protégeait les occupants en cas de tonneau et son pavillon ainsi que sa capote arrière se détachaient et se rangeaient dans le coffre. En 1969, une lunette arrière fixe en verre, moins vibrante et moins sujette à entrées d'eau, vint remplacer la capote arrière, et la Targa poursuivit ainsi sa carrière avec succès jusqu'aux années 1990.

Le Certificat d'authenticité Porsche qui l'accompagne révèle que cette 911 T Targa à numéros concordants était initialement de couleur bleu métallisé avec intérieur en tissu pied-de-poule et qu'elle était dotée des options suivantes : parebrise chauffant électrique teinté, boîte cinq, équipement confort et peinture spéciale. Elle est par ailleurs équipée des séduisantes roues Fuchs. Le certificat cité plus haut a été délivré en 1993 par Porsche Cars North America Inc, à qui cette voiture fut livrée par l'usine. Par la suite, elle fut expédiée en Allemagne et, finalement, elle se retrouva en Suisse. Restaurée en 2017 par un professionnel en Europe, notre Targa est munie des factures qui détaillent les travaux effectués et les pièces approvisionnées, et dont l'examen est recommandé. Elle est décrite par son vendeur comme en bon état général et elle se présente avec son carnet d'entretien, sa carte grise suisse et son certificat d'authenticité déjà cité.
