The 1972 Porsche 911 Targa "Ölklappe" holds a special place in Porsche history. This model year is unique because the oil filler cap was placed externally behind the right door, a design originally intended for motorsport purposes and now a cherished detail among enthusiasts.
This example was originally delivered in the Netherlands as a 911 Targa. It has been converted into a purpose-built, driver-oriented restomod with a more powerful and wider appearance. The steel widebody conversion at both the front and rear gives the car a significantly wider and more muscular stance without compromising the original body structure.
The car was professionally repainted a few years ago, and the paintwork remains in excellent condition, reflecting a high-quality job rather than a quick cosmetic fix. The original 2.4-liter engine has been overhauled and tuned by MH Automotive, a well-known name in the Dutch Porsche community. Equipped with Zenith carburetors and a full stainless steel sports exhaust system, this setup provides improved throttle response and a livelier driving experience. The result is a classic 911 with added edge while maintaining its original character.
To support the wider body design, the original Fuchs wheels have been professionally widened, ensuring the wheel wells are properly filled and preserving the iconic look. Since the work was completed, the car has seen limited use and was recently serviced, making it ready for immediate driving.
This is not a concours restoration but an honest and well-executed restomod focused on driving pleasure, appearance, and practicality. The combination of the unique 1972 Ölklappe platform with a steel widebody and carefully selected upgrades makes this an attractive choice for those seeking a classic 911 with more presence and character than the standard model. It is best appreciated from behind the wheel.
Viewing is available by appointment, and independent inspections are permitted.
