1970 Porsche 911 T Targa “Restored”

Did you know that the Porsche 911 T Targa owes its name to the legendary Targa Florio, the famous Sicilian road race in which Porsche achieved countless victories? The iconic Targa roll bar was also a revolutionary solution at the time: an open sports car that combined the thrill of top-down motoring with enhanced safety and a distinctive design all its own. More than fifty years later, that characteristic Targa bar has become one of the most recognizable design elements in automotive history.

This 1970 Porsche 911 T Targa is a beautifully preserved example, finished in stunning Bahia Red, a color widely regarded as one of the finest shades Porsche ever offered. It is no coincidence that this color is now even used by Singer as a special Paint-to-Sample option. Combined with the black interior, it creates an appearance that is both sporting and timeless.

This Porsche was restored with great dedication by a true Porsche enthusiast. Not in a commercial workshop where speed and efficiency take precedence, but in a personal environment where passion for the marque was the guiding principle. It was a restoration carried out by someone who truly understands and appreciates the early 911 in every detail. Great care was taken to use authentic Porsche components throughout, ensuring that the car's original character has been faithfully preserved.

In 2025, the engine underwent a complete rebuild and overhaul by a Porsche specialist. An investment of no less than €17,000 underscores the level of care this 911 has received throughout its life. For the next owner, this provides not only peace of mind but also the reassuring knowledge that one of the car's most important components has recently been professionally rebuilt.

At the time, the 911 T represented the entry-level model within the 911 range, but do not let that fool you. It is precisely the simplicity and purity of this version that make it so appealing today. Journalists of the period praised the engine and regarded this generation as one of the finest Porsche models ever built. The teething problems of the earliest cars had been resolved, while performance, reliability, and refinement had all been further improved.

Behind the wheel, it immediately becomes clear why the early 911 occupies such a unique place in the sports car world. The characteristic driving position, slim dashboard, beautiful round instruments, and direct steering create an experience that is increasingly difficult to find today. Everything feels mechanical, honest, and pure. Every drive delivers a sense of involvement and connection that modern automobiles rarely manage to replicate.

The Targa version adds an extra dimension to that experience. With the roof removed, you can enjoy not only the open air and surrounding scenery but also the unmistakable sound of the air-cooled flat-six mounted behind you. At the same time, the famous roll bar preserves the Porsche's distinctive silhouette, a design feature that has long since become iconic.

This Porsche 911 T Targa represents a period in which Porsche laid the foundations for one of the most successful sports car lineages of all time. A beautiful example in an exceptional color combination, fitted with a recently rebuilt engine and cared for by enthusiasts who understood exactly what makes this car so special.
