Porsche 911 E 2.4 Targa
Model year 1971 • Oil flap model • Silver metallic • Newly TÜV-certified
“Not every Porsche 911 tells a story. Some embody an era.”
The 1971 model year holds a special place in the history of the Porsche 911. It was the only model year to feature the external oil filler flap—the now-legendary “oil flap” model. After just one year, this distinctive detail disappeared from series production, making these vehicles one of the most sought-after variants of the classic F-model series.
With its rev-happy 2.4-liter fuel-injected engine, timeless styling, and the open-air driving experience of the Targa, the 911 E uniquely combines driving dynamics, elegance, and everyday practicality.
The Vehicle on Offer
On offer is a very well-maintained Porsche 911 E 2.4 Targa in the classic color combination of silver metallic with a black interior.
The vehicle was originally delivered to Italy and has been in my possession for about ten years. During this time, the car underwent only a partial restoration (2023 to 2024) and was driven occasionally.
As part of an extensive partial restoration, great care was taken to preserve the vehicle’s original character rather than over-restore it.
Today, the car is in very well-maintained overall condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.
The body shows no rust whatsoever, the gaps are even, and the targa roof is also in excellent condition.
Particularly noteworthy are the original Fuchs rims with new tires, as well as the current H-certificate and the recently completed general inspection.
Transparency
It is important to me that a future owner has all relevant information before viewing the car.
That is why I would like to openly address the following points:
- Unfortunately, a complete vehicle history is not available.
- The car is currently equipped with a contemporary Porsche 2.4 E engine. This is no longer the engine that was originally delivered (no matching numbers).
- The original transmission is still in place.
- These circumstances have, of course, been taken into account in setting the price.
