1967 Porsche 911 Targa soft-window

500695roadGermany

Colour: Polo Red

A 1966 Porsche 911 Targa in its original Polo Red livery, this early 'soft-window' example features the desirable zip-out plastic rear screen produced only during the model's first year of manufacture. One of just 718 built in the opening production year, it remained in single-family ownership from new until 2013. A comprehensive restoration completed in 2008 returned the car to its as-delivered specification, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms it as a numbers-matching example.
