A striking 1983-registered Porsche 911 SC Targa, with only 4 previous owners and extensively restored by renowned classic car restorers Carrosserie. Combining the timeless appeal of the classic open-roof 911 with two of the most desirable mechanical upgrades available for the air-cooled generation: the 3.2-litre Carrera engine and later G50 5-speed manual gearbox.
The G50 gearbox is a particularly significant upgrade. Introduced by Porsche for the 1987 model year, it replaced the earlier 915 transmission, bringing improved synchromesh, a hydraulically operated clutch and a noticeably smoother, more precise gear change. Highly sought-after among air-cooled 911 enthusiasts, the G50 offers enhanced drivability while retaining the unmistakable mechanical character of the classic 911.
Equally appealing is the iconic Targa body, offering the best of both worlds: open-air driving with the removable roof panel, combined with the distinctive Targa roll bar and classic 911 silhouette. Paired with the later Carrera mechanicals, this represents a particularly attractive specification for those looking to enjoy their classic Porsche on the road.
Finished in Guards Red over Black Leather, the car underwent an extensive restoration by Carrosserie between 2016 and 2023, including comprehensive bodywork restoration and a full repaint. Its distinctive appearance is complemented by 964-Style Front and Rear Bumpers, a Later Rear Reflector Panel, Turbo Rear Spoiler and BBS Cross-Spoke Alloy Wheels. The interior features Electrically Adjustable High-Back Sports Seats, a Momo Steering Wheel and Electric Windows.
The previous keeper invested over £9,000 in maintenance and improvements since 2023, with invoices from recognised specialists. Recent expenditure includes: (1) June 2026 Service, (2) Clutch Replacement, (3) Replacement Driveshaft, (4) Rear Wheel Bearing, (5) Brake Master Cylinder, (6) Rear Brake Pads, (7) Steering Column Sleeve, (8) Air Flow Meter and (9) Targa Roof Trim Repairs. The June 2026 MOT was completed without advisories.
A thoroughly characterful air-cooled 911 Targa, offering the charm of the original SC with the enhanced performance and usability of the later Carrera 3.2 engine and sought-after G50 gearbox. The previous keeper enjoyed the car extensively, including completing the North Coast 500 and attending the 2026 Le Mans Classic, covering approximately 2,500 miles without issue.
