The Appeal

It doesn't get much for '80s than this. A Guards Red 911 Targa with a 'Whale Tail' spoiler, heckblende, black Fuchs alloys, and a pin-striped velour interior. Why, you'd be disappointed not to hear Eurythmics blaring from its Panasonic stereo...
The 3.2-litre Carrera is widely regarded as one of the finest air-cooled 911s Porsche ever produced, and the Targa variant adds open-air motoring to the equation without sacrificing the car's iconic silhouette. Paired with the characterful pre-G50 915 five-speed manual gearbox, a configuration purists hold in particular regard, this is a 911 that rewards the enthusiastic driver.

This 1984 example is an original UK-supplied, right-hand-drive car, presented in Guards Red with a black-and-white pin-striped velour interior. Winchester Automobiles completed a comprehensive restoration in 2019. The paint has since been protected with a ceramic coat. The vendor describes the overall condition as close to concours, while remaining a very usable classic.
