Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare, right-hand drive 1976-77 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa, one of only 181 made for the UK market. It features a 200bhp 3.0-liter engine, a 5-speed manual gearbox, and is finished in Ice Green Metallic with a Black leather interior. It's been well-preserved with low mileage in recent years but would benefit from some attention.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in nice original condition throughout but would inevitably be improved with a bit of love and attention. It drives quite well with no obvious problems but would naturally benefit from being regularly used. The Carrera Cup wheels appear unblemished. The current odometer reading is 75,500 miles, and amazingly the car has only covered some 2,000 miles in the last 18 years.

Description
Built for just two years between 1976 and 1977, and filling a gap between the basic 911 and the 930 Turbo, the Carrera 3 occupies a special place in 911 history. Its 3 litre, horizontally opposed, air cooled engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection produced 200bhp at 6,000 rpm and 188lb/ft of torque, and was basically the 2994cc engine from the 930 Turbo without the forced air induction.
Mated with either a 4 or 5-speed version of Porsche's excellent 915 manual gearbox these were quick cars. Production numbers were relatively small during this two year period with just over three and a half thousand rolling off the line, of which 1,123 were Targas.
We believe of these, only 181 were right-hand drive and destined for the UK and, as there are probably less than half of those around now, these Targas are rare cars.
Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exce...
