Further Info:

1 of just 1,302 made, this handsome left-hand drive 911T Targa is a Federal specification example manufactured in March 1973 and distributed to its first owner via Porsche Cars San Francisco. The comprehensive specification included from new: sports seats, audio speakers and aerial, leather steering wheel, 911S-style oil tank, and front seat covers. The Porsche was imported into the UK in 2003 by a previous British keeper, at which point it was treated to a restoration by Gantspeed - this included a thorough overhaul of the 140bhp 2.4-litre engine and the suspension and braking systems, plus a respray in Blood Orange (the original colour was Chrome Yellow). Since 2012, `YJL 93L' has been largely maintained by independent marque specialist GCR Central of South Wigston, Leics, who have been responsible for replacing the fuel injection system, dampers and tyres. Last year the car was employed by Porsche Cambridge to assist with the launch of the new 991 Targa. They also performed a Classic Car Service on the vehicle in July. A fresh respray in Blood Orange was carried out as recently as March of this year.

The vendor currently considers the 911's bodywork, paintwork, flat-six engine and five-speed manual transmission to all be in `excellent' order, and the Black leatherette trim to be `complete and very good'. He is now offering this very attractive, matching numbers Porsche complete with: Fuchs alloy wheels; original owners' and maintenance books; original Blaupunkt radio modified for iPod connectivity; Porsche Cars Great Britain Certificate of Authenticity; and an MOT certificate valid to August 16, 2015. Values of early 911s such as this F Series example have been climbing fast of late, so `YJL 93L' provides the opportunity of enjoying `fun in the sun' motoring aboard an appreciating asset, and if that's not better that money in the bank, we don't know what is!
