"The Targa Florio made legends of drivers and heroes of machines. This 911 Targa reminds us why Porsche became both." The Cool Classic Club is delighted to present this beautifully tamed yet undeniably fiery German thoroughbred: the Porsche 911 Targa 3.2. The iconic Targa roof owes its name to the legendary Targa Florio, one of motorsport’s most demanding and romantic events. A race through the unforgiving mountains of Sicily where victory was never guaranteed, and survival was often the greater achievement. Between 1955 and 1973, Porsche and Ferrari engaged in one of racing’s most celebrated rivalries, with Porsche claiming an astonishing eleven victories during that period. At the heart of this 911 lies Porsche’s revered 3.2-litre flat-six engine, delivering its power with the character that has defined the marque for generations. Combined with the car’s remarkable balance and communicative chassis, every corner becomes an invitation rather than a challenge. This particular example has enjoyed an exceptional life. Started her life in the US, it has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration by a respected Porsche specialist in Germany. The engine, G50 gearbox and braking system have all been fully rebuilt, while carefully selected upgrades include Bilstein dampers and a Dansk exhaust system. The underside presents better than new, and the restoration was completed in 2025. The result is a Targa that combines the timeless aesthetics of an air-cooled 911 with the confidence and reliability demanded by modern driving. For those seeking the perfect balance between classic Porsche character and contemporary usability, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
