This ivory 912 Targa appears very well presented with a solid painted body and a fully retrimmed Pepita interior completed in 2025. Strong points include confirmed matching numbers, a major mechanical overhaul in 2024, documented maintenance history and a long-valid MOT. The mileage of around 126,000 km is plausible for the age and not a red flag. As no asking price is given, positioning against the roughly €67,000 variant median cannot be assessed, and the US (Virginia) origin warrants inspection for prior bodywork.

Highlights Matching numbers confirmed As per the original and not modified, to the best of the seller’s knowledge Full retrim completed in 2025 for a total of €4,429 Major mechanical overhaul carried out in August 2024 (€3,879), followed by a service/maintenance inspection in February 2026 MOT valid until March 2031 The heart-stealer The Porsche 912 has long lived in the shadow of its six-cylinder sibling, but it delivers an exceptionally pure driving experience: lighter, better balanced and just as elegant. In Targa guise, with its famous brushed stainless-steel safety bar and removable roof, it also becomes a superb open-top summer tourer—ideal for enjoying the fine-weather season, hair in the wind. This 1968 example is presented in an elegant ivory colour scheme, paired with a fully restored black and ivory interior completed in 2025, dressed in Pepita houndstooth-look fabric and imitation leather, in line with the original-era specification. On the mechanical side, the car benefited from a major overhaul in August 2024, followed by lighter maintenance in February 2026. The seller states that the engine runs perfectly. Registered in France, this 912 comes with an invoice folder and supporting documents detailing its maintenance history, as well as an MOT valid until March 2031. image.png 1.39 MB History and documentation First registered in 1968 Two previous owners known; the car would most likely have originated from Virginia (USA), although this cannot be confirmed Purchased by its current owner in July 2022; French registration obtained in December 2022 Matching numbers confirmed Invoice folder and documents covering numerous works and purchases Major mechanical overhaul carried out in August 2024 (€3,879), followed by maintenance in February 2026 MOT valid until March 2031; only defect noted: the five-digit odometer 78,145 miles (125,761 km) shown on the odometer image.png 568.89 KB Condition Slight visible surface corrosion in the wheel arches and along the exhaust line Paint in good overall condition, with patina consistent with the car’s age Cracked dashboard due to sun exposure—a common issue on this model The interior has been completely retrimmed in spring 2025 (€4,429), including: Front and rear seats Seat backs Headrests Rear bench and rear deck Front and rear door panels All finished in imitation leather and Pepita fabric Floor mats and headlining for the Targa section Visually, the 912 doesn’t really have to prove much. It retains the iconic proportions of classic Porsches, and this particular example is no exception. The bodywork looks smart and straight, with no notable dents or impacts, while the freshly restored cabin offers a particularly neat presentation, with clean materials that are beautifully presented. image.png 960.51 KB The mechanicals 1,600cc flat-four engine 5-speed manual gearbox Very smart presentation of the engine bay The seller states that the engine runs very well and that the car is regularly used for countryside drives Under the bonnet sits the famous 1.6-litre flat-four, as per original specification. Around 90kg lighter than a contemporaneous 911, the 912 wins you over with its agility and balance. Many enthusiasts even believe that on a twisty road it can sometimes prove more effective than its prestigious six-cylinder sister. A brilliant opportunity to experience for yourself the full charm of this Porsche—every bit as likeable as it is underrated. image.png 1.02 MB BEFORE YOU BID This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s general terms and conditions.
