Porsche 911 Series G Sport Classic

1980 Porsche 911 SC 3. 0 Targa in Guards Red

This 1980 Porsche 911 SC 3. 0 Targa, finished in Guards Red, is a right-hand drive model with a 3. 0-liter engine and a 915 gearbox. The car has around 131, 000 miles on the clock and comes with two sets of keys and an immobiliser fob. It features the original Fuchs wheels and has undergone several tasteful modifications in recent months.

Notable upgrades include a Dansk stainless steel exhaust, which sounds fantastic, and a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel with an eccentric spacer. Other modifications include a Rennline phone holder, adjustable pedals, and a front oil cooler scoop. The 915 gearbox has been enhanced with a spring to make it return to center like a G50 gearbox. The car sits on 25mm H&E spacers at the rear and is fitted with 993 Cup wing mirrors, which are both stylish and rare. It also has custom livery similar to the old Turbo graphics and a refurbished whale tail. A hidden Bluetooth amplifier is wired into the speakers, allowing you to play music via an iPhone. The headlights have been fully refurbished with new parts, including LED lights. Additionally, the Targa top has recently been refurbished at a cost of £1, 500, and a WOSP high-torque starter has been fitted for improved performance. A new rear valance has also been installed.

The car comes with several spares, including front clear indicator lenses, rear red/ clear light lenses, and Guards Red flag mirrors for both sides. There is also a rear deck lid insert valued at £200.

As for the negatives, the car is currently on a Q plate after being stolen and recovered in 1995. I have all the documentation proving its authenticity, including confirmation from Porsche and bills dating back over 20 years. It is not a Category car and is clear on all HPI checks, with the Police simply recommending a new VIN, which was issued by the DVLA. The bumpers show a few scabs and corrosion, but since they are aluminum, they won't rust. I even have some Guards Red paint that can be included. The wheels could benefit from a refurb, and the interior could use a bit of tidying up.

This car comes with over 25 years of documentation, including old MOTs, bills, and letters of authentication from Porsche. The large folder of history tracks the car's journey over the years, proving it has been well cared for. The chassis is rust- and rot-free, with no evidence of any welding.
