FRENCH Title

In the spring of 1948, Porsche No. 1 came out of a small workshop in Gmünd, Austria: it was a two-seater roadster with a modified Volkswagen engine, centrally positioned on a tubular chassis... and the 356th project of Professor Ferdinand Porsche. A small series followed: 23 coupes and 23 cabriolets, all with aluminium bodies, but with the engine set back behind the axle and a pressed sheet metal chassis. From 1950 onwards, steel replaces aluminium, production is transferred to Stuttgart and evolves rapidly: 1300 and then 1500 engines, choice of several body styles. Spared the appendages and excrescences of later models, the first generation of the 911 seduces by the original simplicity and purity of its line. Long neglected in favour of more recent and more demonstrative cars, it is today highly sought after by discerning collectors. Originally named the 901 and previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the 911 went into production in May 1964. It was powered by a two-litre 130 HP engine. In 1968, at the end of the year, it was fitted with Bosch mechanical injection due to American anti-pollution standards, the United States being Zuffenhausen's main market. The power was increased to 170 HP. The displacement of the 911 was then increased to 2.2 litres in 1969. This version was certainly the most versatile model in the range in 1970. The 2.2 is less sharp than the S version, which is more powerful but has a much higher maximum torque, but is more pleasant to drive in regular use. The weight of the car is only slightly over a ton, something that is almost impossible to achieve on a production car today. The Targa version was presented in 1965 at Frankfurt and was the only convertible version of the 911 range until the 1980s. Initially considered a cosmetic blunder, the thick chrome hoop became the Targa's signature touch, which is still added today on modern versions. The Targa was especially attractive to the United States, a huge market for the German firm.

The model presented is a 2.2L T version with dark teal carburettors. This Porsche 911 2.2 T was delivered new to the USA and registered for the first time in January 1970. Aesthetically, many elements were recently redone by the current owner with the help of his father, including:
-the chrome bumpers
-the windscreen
-the rear window
-Targa vinyl roof
Targa vinyl roof -Mirrors
-all the lights, indicators and headlights.

In the interior, the black leather upholstery is in very good condition, as is the dashboard, which has been characteristic of 911s from the beginning to the present day.
Mechanically, this Porsche 2.2T Targa stands out. Indeed, the engine has undergone a major overhaul, always carried out by the owner and his father, who tell us that the following have been rebuilt:
-the clutch
-rear brake discs and pads
-the seals and needles of the Zenith double body carburettors
-the starter
-the master cylinder
-the tank
-alternator
-timing belt
-the steering ball joints
-the complete ignition system

This car is now in a beautiful condition despite the few aesthetic elements specific to the US versions, it will delight its next owner as the 911 is an easy to use and terribly endearing car.

Our test drive showed that this car has lost none of its dynamic character and that the driving pleasure remains as incomparable as ever.
