1971 Porsche 911 T 2.2 Litre Targa


1971 Porsche 911 T 2.2 Litre Targa - Classic Cars

Delivered to Germany, in Austria since 1973!

Matching numbers!

Porsche enlarged the engine mounted in its 911 for the first time in the model year 1970. Now displaying bores of 84 mm, this produced displacement of just under 2.2-litres, whereby the power rose consistently upwards in the model range. The entry-level model, for instance, the 911 T, came with just 125 hp. It was also the only version that continued to receive its fuel mix from carburettors. Numerous details of the 911, outside and in, were improved, so purists in particular are now besotted with the 2.2, claiming that no other engine has such a beautifully loud noise as this model. Displacement and power were increased again two years later, but the compression also reduced its liveliness.

This 911 Targa is a late specimen from the 1971 model year in which more of its kind were built than in any year before. Delivered to Germany, the 911 received individual approval in Vienna as early as March 1973. Likely many years ago, the Targa was repainted in vibrant red to replace the upbeat conda green, and the Talbot mirrors on the fenders are also accessories from earlier days. It is also noticeable that the seats were renewed not so long ago. Overall, though, the Targa remains highly authentic. The innumerable invoices from recent years clearly demonstrate that it has always been maintained properly, and that cutting costs was not a priority. Around €17,000 have been invested in this 911 since 2015. Among other things, the gearbox and the carburettor were overhauled, the tank renewed, the chassis reset, the heat exchanger replaced, and even a Blaupunkt radio was installed. This Targa is not perfect the way it is, but that’s precisely what makes it so lovable!
