VEHICLE HISTORY
This 1977 911S Targa was originally delivered to the U.S. and was last registered in the state of New York. The Targa returned to Germany in 2015 and was then extensively restored for a customer at our facility. At the time of restoration, the odometer reading was only 50,500 mls / 80,800 km. The photos for this Listing were taken immediately after the vehicle was completed; since then, the Targa has been driven only 13,000 km. From 2016 to 2021, the car remained with its first German owner; in 2021, the Targa was passed on within our customer network. We have now been servicing this Targa in our workshop for 10 years. In 2021, we converted the Targa’s odometer from miles to kilometers, converting the mileage accordingly. The total mileage is now 93,350 km.
In 2023, we also performed a comprehensive overhaul of the 915 transmission, and in 2026, we replaced the ignition system. In total, the invoices from 2018 through 2026 amount to just over 30,000 €.
