One-of-a-kind: Porsche 911 E 2.4 Targa – 1972 Oil Flap Version – Matching numbers (Certificate of Origin)
No. 390 of 861 (RDW) Porsche 911 E 2.4 Targa, model year 1972, was produced in the oil flap version for only one year. This top model of the F-series is the perfect combination of a classic sports car and a convertible thanks to its Targa design. The removable roof provides an unmistakable “topless feeling.”
A very well-documented restoration history, involving more than 1,200 hours of work and expert knowledge, is available for this vehicle, as well as invoices from the 2021–2023 restoration totaling over CHF 150,000. The car was de-registered on June 13, 1996, according to the available registration document, before undergoing a complete restoration in October 2021 by a perfectionist, expert, and enthusiast all in one.
Carefully and step-by-step documented in photos and text, it was rebuilt over nearly three years—screw by screw—according to the principle “Only the best is good enough,” using only select Porsche specialists, including Heinz Reust, with all parts “matching.” The car was subsequently driven approximately 1,500 km after being presented as a classic on March 31, 2023.
This 911 Targa was thus painted in the original factory delivery color and the very rare special color Green Metallic 224, which undoubtedly underscores its originality and rarity. The car was restored, comparable to a lifelong dream, with many high-quality details. A fact that will also bring great joy to the next owner.
In the expert vehicle appraisal report, the vehicle was rated a 1, and in addition to the included certificate of origin, the matching numbers—specifically the engine, transmission, and paint/accessories—were confirmed. The vehicle is immediately ready for unrestricted use.
Conclusion: This is a piece of automotive history on wheels. Owning a top model from the F-series as a Targa is already something special. For collectors and drivers seeking a 911 E 2.4 Targa without compromise, where the charm and preservation of the patina are paramount and where the car serves as an investment in collector’s condition, this is the right choice to enjoy the car for the next 50 years with peace of mind. A vehicle warranty can be arranged individually upon request (additional charge), as can an annual service in the spring of 2026, which is included.
