To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€70,000 - €100,000
- One of just 861 911 E Targas built for 1972
- Lovely light-blue-over-black colour scheme
- Delivered new to France
According to the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity, this 911
E Targa was delivered new in Paris, France, and originally finished
in Light Ivory (1110) with Black leatherette. Factory options
listed included headrests on both front seats, a 'comfort' package,
which included electrically assisted door window lifts, plus tinted
glass.
The Targa top appeared in 1966 with a built-in roll-over hoop for
fear that convertibles might be banned for safety reasons. The
earliest design utilized a removable clear plastic window that
could be taken down to create a near-full convertible when the
folding center roof panel was also removed. Porsche soon
substituted a large fixed wrap-around glass backlight to improve
weather sealing.
While the early history of this 1972 model is unknown, its original
engine has been replaced by another from a 1973 E and at some point
was resprayed a pleasing light blue. It is equipped with a
Blaupunkt radio and Fuchs light-alloy wheels. It is supplied with
several repair invoices dating to 2014 and would be a charming
addition to the garage of any Porsche enthusiast.
- Um de somente 861 911 E Targa constru�dos em 1972
- Bonita combina��o de azul claro e preto
- Matriculado novo em Fran�a
De acordo com o Certificado de Autenticidade que o acompanha, este
911 E Targa foi entregue novo em Paris, Fran�a, e originalmente
acabado em Light Ivory (1110) com couro preto. As op��es de f�brica
inclu�am encostos de cabe�a em ambos os assentos dianteiros, um
pacote "conforto", que inclu�a elevadores de vidros eletricamente
assistidos, al�m de vidros coloridos.
O Targa surgiu em 1966 com um aro de prote��o montado por receio de
que os descapot�veis pudessem ser banidos por raz�es de seguran�a.
A vers�o mais antiga utilizava um �culo traseiro remov�vel de
pl�stico transparente que poderia ser retirado para criar um
quase-verdadeiro descapot�vel quando o painel central do teto
tamb�m fosse removido. A Porsche cedo o substituiu por um elemento
de vidro fixo, para melhorar a estanquicidade.
Embora a hist�ria inicial deste modelo de 1972 seja desconhecida, o
seu motor original foi substitu�do por outro de 1973, da mesma
especifica��o, e pintado num agrad�vel azul claro. Est� equipado
com um r�dio Blaupunkt e jantes de liga leve Fuchs. � fornecido com
v�rias faturas de repara��o que datam de 2014 e ser� um encantador
acr�scimo � garagem de qualquer entusiasta da Porsche.To view this
