2015 Porsche 911 Targa 4S

The 991.1 generation 911 Targa 4S occupies a specific place in the modern 911 lineage: it's one of the last examples of the naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six before Porsche switched to turbocharged units for the 991.2 refresh in late 2016. That engine, producing 395 bhp and paired here with PDK and the Sport Chrono package, delivers the linear throttle response that turbocharged successors trade away. The Targa configuration — with its fixed roll hoop and power-operated glass roof section — remains one of the more theatrical ways to experience an open-air 911, while the 4S designation brings all-wheel drive for genuine year-round capability.

This example is finished in Carrara White Metallic over a Black/Garnet Red two-tone leather interior — a combination that suits the Targa's distinctive chrome-hooped silhouette well. The options list totals £10,062 and covers the meaningful items: Porsche Sports Exhaust, Sport Chrono Package with its dashboard-mounted stopwatch, BOSE surround sound, reversing camera with front and rear parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights in black with PDLS, and black-painted wheels. The Sport Design steering wheel and heated seats round out a well-chosen spec without straying into excess.

At 46,038 miles over eleven years, the mileage is entirely appropriate for this type of car and is backed by five documented service stamps — the first three at Porsche Centres in Reading and Portsmouth, the latter two at a Porsche specialist. That depth of history on a 991.1 of this age is a genuine asset, particularly as naturally aspirated 991s have been attracting sustained collector interest since the turbocharged transition.
