1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa

KEY FACTS A desirable classic open-top sports car, the Porsche 911 SC Targa is a characterful model, finished in a lesser-seen colour scheme. Powered by a 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This is reported to be an original Sweden-delivered car. The odometer shows 84,980 km, which the seller believes to be the genuine total. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in Dark Brown Metallic over a Cognac vinyl and light brown cloth interior. It now rides on 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with satin black 'petal' spokes. Equipment includes manual windows, period radio/cassette player, a modern Kenwood head unit in the glove box, and a space-saver spare wheel. Accompanied by one key and its original ATS 'cookie cutter' alloy wheels. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: previous minor damage to the left rear fender, caused by a falling ladder, was repaired and painted by Citylack in Alingsås. SERVICE HISTORY The seller states that it received some notable renovation work from 2021 onwards. This reportedly included the engine being dismantled and overhauled by Porsche specialist JTI Motor in Gantofta due to oil leaks from the cylinder heads and valve covers, with cylinder head gaskets and bolts replaced after broken bolts were found. Exhaust gaskets, clutch release bearing, and gearbox seals were also replaced. The Targa's headliner was renovated by Billäderdoktorn in Älvängen. SUMMARY The Porsche 911 SC Targa offers a compelling blend of classic styling, engaging air-cooled performance, and the open-top driving experience with its removable roof panel. This example reportedly benefits from notable mechanical renovation work. With its desirable colour scheme, it promises to be a stylish and rewarding companion for sunny weekend drives and classic car events.
