1973 Porsche 911 Targa F-series
- Engine
- Flat-six, rebuilt and upgraded to approximately 230 bhp (originally ~190 bhp)
- Colour
- Light Ivory ('Hellelfenbein')
The 464th of 925 F-series Targa bodies produced in 1973, this Porsche 911 S 2.4 represents the final model year of the long-bonnet, narrow-bumper configuration. Delivered new through JV Porsche in Verona, it remained in the Veneto region for nearly four decades. Notably equipped with several options shared with the contemporary Carrera RS — including the 85-litre plastic fuel tank, 915 gearbox, and aluminium brake callipers — it underwent a cosmetic restoration by Modena specialists prior to its current ownership, retaining its original Hellelfenbein finish.
