Porsche - 911 E Targa - 1973

This Porsche 911E Targa "Sportomatic" was first admitted to traffic in 1974. The "E" in "911E" stands for "Einspritzer" or: fuel injection. At the time, it was a motorisation from the middle of the 911-programme. The birth certificate for this car tells us that this 911 still has the original engine and is therefore matching numbers. The six-cylinder boxer engine in this case produces 165 hp and is linked to the rare "sportomatic" semi-automatic. A very ingenious piece of technology that paved the way for the later tiptronic and PDK. The sportomatic is a 4-speed gearbox with a torque converter that is activated as soon as the lever is moved. So you do have to switch gears, but you don't have to press the clutch. The car is both optically and technically in very good condition. The technology has recently been thoroughly overhauled. The entire suspension has been renewed, the Sportomatic has been overhauled, new brake discs have been fitted all around and the engine has been given a very extensive service. The costs for the total work amounted to almost €10,000 Technically, the Porsche is more than "ready to go! ". The bodywork is also very neat. The sheet metal is sleek and has a correct fit. The Targa roof fits well and the iconic Fuchs rims are also in good condition. The car has already been repainted in the original "Hellgelb" colour for cosmetic reasons. The black interior is neatly cared for and all instruments and controls function as they should. In short, a very fine Porsche 911 Targa with rock-solid mechanical fuel injection and the rare sportomatic transmission and as icing on the cake: with a lot of recent maintenance. Get in and enjoy. The car can be viewed in Zutphen, the Netherlands. #exclusiveselection_august
