Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a Guards Red 912 Targa, a rare model recently imported from California to the UK. It features Fuchs alloys and a black interior. While the car has a valid MOT and NOVA, it requires some cosmetic attention and comes with very little history.
Condition
6
The car is described as needing some tidying and detailing. The vendor believes the interior is original and in reasonable condition for its age, suggesting it is not in top condition. The odometer reading cannot be warranted, indicating potential mechanical uncertainties.

Description
A charming 912 Targa in Guards Red with Fuchs Alloys.
Manufactured from July 1964, the Porsche 911 marked the end of the much loved 356, however, it was July 1965 before the 911 finally made it to the U.S. and American Porsche buyers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor.
In addition to being more modern and more powerful, it was also considerably more expensive: nearly $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model.
In Europe too, this was becoming a problem and by April 1965 a 'transitional model' entered production.
Essentially a 911 with a 356-type flat four, the new car, designated '912', was not only less expensive, selling at near-356 prices, but enjoyed more even weight distribution and better economy.
Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche was no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911).
