Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This left-hand drive 1970 Porsche 911S Targa has a 'hybrid' 2.7-liter engine producing 210bhp, rebuilt with performance enhancements. It benefits from rust-proofing and some new parts, but has a gearbox fault, potential fuel contamination issue, and a history of chassis welding.

We are advised that, basically, the engine is mechanically identical to the 2.7-litre Carrera RS unit, with '7R' crankcases, differing only by virtue of its Weber carburettors (fuel injection was standard) and Perma-Tune/Pertronix electronic ignition.
It certainly produces 2.7-litre RS power, as evidenced by dynamometer printouts showing a maximum output of 210bhp and peak torque of 180lb/ft.
The Type 911/43 engine was rebuilt some 5,000 miles prior to the vehicle's importation, though the documentation to support this has been lost.
Since its arrival in this country the car has benefited from further refurbishment, the handbrake assembly ...
