1968 Porsche 911 T Targa soft-window
- Colour
- Irish Green
A 1968 Porsche 911 T Targa finished at the factory in Tangerine over black leatherette, this car is the 159th of 521 examples built for its model year and retains the desirable early 'soft-window' configuration superseded by fixed glass from August 1968 onward. Delivered new through the Frankfurt dealer Glöckler on 26 July 1968, it was exported to California within months and later passed to an Italian owner who commissioned a restoration to Irish Green during the 1990s. The accompanying Kardex documentation supports the ownership history.
