The 911 2.4 S Targa from the 1972 model year marks a special moment in the history of the F model: the side-mounted oil filler flap was only used in this year and makes the "oil flap Targa" a coveted item among connoisseurs today. Only 989 units were produced in total.
The vehicle offered here was first registered on May 19, 1972, and is presented in Blood Orange (018) with black leather upholstery – a combination that emphasizes its clear design language in a timeless way. All major components have matching numbers, and the professionally reconditioned 190 hp engine is now in near-new condition, both technically and visually, which at the time enabled a top speed of around 230 kph and made the 911 S one of the fastest production 911s of the early 1970s.
Although the vehicle was already in very good original condition, we at PS Automobile took the preventive measure of refining the entire chassis: the axle links, struts, and brake mounts were disassembled, sandblasted, recoated, and replaced with all bearings, bushings, and shock absorbers. The result is a Targa that drives as precisely as it looks – completely worry-free and ready to drive.
The interior is accentuated by the period-correct Nardi leather steering wheel and the Halder "Twin Master" rally timer, while original Fuchs rims, clean gap dimensions, and a preserved underbody underscore the high level of care taken with this vehicle. Rarity, documented history, and freshly optimized technology combine here to create a substantial opportunity for enthusiasts seeking authenticity, driving pleasure, and lasting value in a vehicle.
