Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Targa

The 991 Targa occupies a distinct niche within the 911 range: the same Carrera 4S performance credentials — AWD, 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, 400 bhp — but with that unmistakable retractable roof mechanism and polished bar that sets the Targa apart visually from both the Coupe and Cabriolet. Crucially, this is a 991.1 car, built before Porsche moved to the turbocharged engine in the 991.2 revision, preserving the high-revving character of the naturally aspirated unit through the 7-speed PDK.

The specification is well-considered. Ruby Red over a dual-tone Luxor Beige/Black leather interior is a factory combination that ages well, carried through with matching Luxor Beige stitching and embossed crested headrests. Factory options include sports seats, PASM adaptive damping, a BOSE sound system, Sport Design steering wheel, heated and electrically folding mirrors, and a full convenience package. Paint protection film on the front end is a practical addition on a red car.

At 51,659 miles from its 2015 registration, this is a moderately used Targa for its age. It carries known history with Paragon, having been previously sold and serviced by the same specialist — meaningful provenance on a car where maintenance records matter.
