This car has 147k miles and has been carefully driven, continuously serviced, and preserved with a complete lifetime of service records. As many air-cooled owners and technicians know, these cars perform best when exercised regularly, and well-maintained higher-mileage examples often drive better than low-mileage garage-bound cars. This one is a perfect example of that.
Featuring the desirable G50 5-speed manual, original factory paint, and an engine rebuilt just 20k miles ago, it is fully sorted, rust-free, and needs nothing.

The Targa bar has been recently refinished, and the targa top has undergone a full professional restoration, ensuring proper fitment and weather sealing.
Interior
The interior remains in excellent original condition. The leather seats are firm and clean with no rips, tears, or re-dyeing. All gauges, lights, and switches work correctly, including the air conditioning, which still blows cold. A Porsche PCCM Classic head unit is installed, and the original radio accompanies the sale. A tasteful period-upgrade steering wheel is fitted, with the original included.

The 3.2-liter flat-six received a rebuild 20k miles ago and remains strong, smooth, and leak-free. The G50 gearbox shifts with the precision this model year is famous for. Recent maintenance includes:

• Numerous small mechanical fixes
The car starts instantly, idles correctly, pulls strongly, and stops confidently. It is a well-sorted, turn-key example that can be enjoyed immediately.

Recent major auction site sales for comparable G50 Targas fall in this price range, making this a fair offering given the extensive maintenance, originality, and condition. Please do not contact with lower offers.
