About this car

This 1996 Porsche 911 Targa is a 993, the last of the air-cooled generation. It pairs the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six, rated at 285 bhp, with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The Targa's sliding glass roof gives open-air driving without losing much of the coupe's rigidity.

It is finished in Arctic Silver over black leather and shows 78,000 miles. Specification is simple, with automatic climate control listed.

The service record is long and detailed, covering Porsche dealers and independent specialists from 1998 onwards. Work noted includes a clutch and brakes in 2011 and a Targa roof rebuild in 2021. The most recent entries are a service and engine chain box cover and rocker cover gasket work, both carried out by Autofarm.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
