Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa (1985) – 231 PS, 135,000 km, C07 model

A Targa with an extraordinary history: built in 1985, but remained in the dealer’s showroom until January 1988, when it was first registered to a family in southern Italy. I have owned it since 2004—meaning it has had only two owners in four decades. Photodocumented and extensively restored between 2019 and 2021 (body stripped and repainted, transmission completely overhauled with an invoice totaling €11,435, suspension reworked with Bilstein shocks, Turbo tie rods, and a strut bar; 16-inch chrome-plated Fuchs wheels)—has covered only about 3,000 km since then. Choice of two interior options (tartan check/partial leather or full leather with power seats), Momo Prototipo & original steering wheel, countless new genuine Porsche parts. Engine inspected, oil-free, dry-ice blasted.

Complete history since 2004 documented via invoices and TÜV reports; always serviced by Porsche specialists. Classic Analytics appraisal (06/25): “Grade 1 – Flawless vehicle … represents the absolute pinnacle of what is technically achievable today.”

The vehicle in detail

The Carrera 3.2 offered here represents the most mature stage of evolution in the G-model era, just before the 964 made its debut in 1989.

With its 3.2-liter engine, the air-cooled six-cylinder reached its largest displacement in 1984—an engine that, as the 930/20 with 231PS, is still considered one of the most robust and characterful in the entire history of the 911. The Targa body, introduced in 1965 as the world’s first safety convertible concept, combines the driving pleasure of an open-top car with the interior feel of a coupe—a compromise that gives this vehicle its very own unique charm.

A History of Rarity

This 1985 Targa was delivered as a C07 model but was not first registered until 1988. From the very beginning, it was owned by a single family in southern Italy, where it was lovingly maintained at their weekend home for years. A subsequent transfer of ownership within that family means it is now classified as a used car—a provenance rarely found in a 42-year-old sports car.

In 2004, it was brought to Germany, where it has been maintained with evident passion ever since.

Restored with a lot of heart and a touch of common sense

Between 2019 and 2021, the car underwent a comprehensive restoration, fully documented with photographs—since then, it has covered just around 3,000 kilometers. The body was largely stripped of its old paint and repainted; the engine was inspected and fitted with new oil return lines—no oil leaks, no measurable oil consumption. The transmission underwent a complete overhaul, documented by an invoice (€11,435), including a shortened shift travel. The fuel tank, fuel pump, and various seals were also replaced.

The suspension has been completely overhauled: green Bilstein shock absorbers, Turbo tie rods, a strut bar, and a subtle lowering provide modern driving dynamics. Chrome 16-inch Fuchs rims with nearly new tires stylishly round out the look.

A new V2A front muffler (or replacement pipe) and the Dansk ESD system deliver a rich, full-bodied sound.

Inside, the new owner has a choice of two complete interior trim options: tartan check with black partial leather or full black leather with power seats. A Momo Prototipo steering wheel sits within easy reach next to the original, and a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 49 delivers the authentic sound of the era. Countless thoughtful details—from the new original alternator to the dry-ice-blasted engine bay—attest to the scope of this restoration.

Maintained with Care and Passion

My philosophy in a nutshell: always warmed up for at least 30 kilometers, never driven in the rain, never rushed on short trips. Annual oil changes, Swisswax care, and storage always under cover in the garage connected to a battery maintenance device—that’s how you treat a vehicle that you don’t just own, but love.

The vehicle’s history can be traced seamlessly over decades through invoices and TÜV reports; it has always been serviced by Porsche specialists. A recent Classic Analytics appraisal (06/2025) sums it up: “An impeccable vehicle in which, even upon the most meticulous inspection, no defects whatsoever can be found in either appearance or mechanics. It represents the absolute pinnacle of what is technically feasible today.” Euphoric , yet very close to the status quo.

Naturally, it comes with a temporary (“H”) and seasonal registration.

Conclusion

A 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa that combines heritage, dedication, and attention to detail—a vehicle that one does not simply buy, but rather accepts with honor.
