Introduction
Paul Wright
Featuring a 3.2L flat-six engine, iconic body design, and an open-top roof, the Porsche 911 Targa stands out as a powerful and highly coveted sports car.
The Porsche 911 has long been recognised as one of the most iconic and influential sports cars in recent history. With its instantly recognisable styling, low driving position, and precision engineering, it’s not hard to see why.
The 911 Targa is no different - with its 3.2L flat-six naturally aspirated engine producing approximately 231 BHP.
This particular example was first registered in 1985 and came in the stunning Pacific Blue paint colour, with a black leather interior.
This car was specified from the factory with optional extras, including sports seats and 16" Fuchs wheels. It has an excellent history, including a full engine and gearbox rebuild several years ago, and Andrew has been enjoying it as a daily car for the past two years.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Andrew the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi Andrew, can you advise when the engine was rebuilt and what was done for the rebuild.
Hi, Thank you for your interest. The rebuild was done before my ownership. It was done in October 2005 by RGA Porsche Centre in Vauxhall at 125588 miles.
The invoice states ‘Remove engine and gearbox, and refit. Strip engine to crankcase, rebuild using new parts as necessary’. There is then a list of parts. The total on that invoice was over £5000. You can see the full document in the photos of paperwork – its at the end of the 22nd row in that section. It is a good, strong engine. I hope that helps.
Thank you
Hi, on engine photos from the underside there seems to be an oil leak (Driver side) covering the heat exchanger. This is not mentioned in the description. Do you know where that leak is coming from?
Hi, It was mentioned on the advisories of the last MOT as ‘oil leak but not excessive [8.4.1 (a) (i)] ‘ and when I asked Cavendish Porsche (who did the MOT) about repairing it he said it wasn’t a big issue and nothing to worry about a the moment. So in short, I don’t know where it is coming from. You are quite welcome to come and have a look in person if you wish. Thank you
Hi I read that the seat electrics were not functioning – has this been fixed and are both seats electical functions working ?
Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. The passenger seat is fully working, but the drivers seat is not working.
The garage said it needs a new switch, but to be honest, I have never used it so it has not been a problem. I hope this helps, but please get in touch if you have any other questions.
Best wishes, Andrew
