Targa Chassis no. 9116619025roadGermany

Engine: 2.7L flat-six Carrera RS unit, 210 bhp
Colour: White with police livery

A 1976 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera MFI Targa, chassis 9116619025, is one of only 20 narrow-body examples built to factory specification for the Belgian Gendarmerie, fitted with the 210 bhp Carrera RS engine while retaining standard Targa bodywork for covert use. Supplied through d'Ieteren Frères, the car spent most of its life in storage after arriving in the UK in 1987, remaining dormant for roughly three decades before being rediscovered and professionally recommissioned in 2017–2019. Fewer than five of the original twenty are believed to have survived.
