1970 | Porsche 911 2.2 T

For 1970, the 911 was introduced with a larger cylinder bore giving a capacity of 2,195cc, producing 125bhp and badged as a ‘T’ at this power output. Alterations to suspension pick-up points improved the handling and gave a little more steering feel and 6” Fuchs ‘five-leaf’ forged alloys were now a standard fit.

Offered here is a really impressive left-hand drive 911T Targa that was first delivered on 18th September 1970 by Porsche California, Los Angeles finished in Silber Metallic (8010) with a black (16) leatherette interior. Extra options on the new delivered car were : alloy rims 6J x 15” – comfort pack – airconditioning & tinted windows.

The car remained in the US until 1991 when it was imported to the Netherlands but were it stayed in hands of two careful owners.  The car is also coming with the “Porsche Geburtsurkunde” delivered by Porsche Classic Center Gelderland in March 2022. 

Once in the Netherlands, the Targa was entrusted to a Porsche Specialist, who restored thoroughly the car respecting the original specifications. 

Overall, this is a very nicely presented example. The black leatherette interior with charcoal carpets looks absolutely period-correct, and the push-button Blaupunkt LMU with speakers completes the picture. Reported to drive particularly well, this is an example to use and enjoy and is certainly one for the early 911 enthusiast. 

Early 911s possess a certain purity of line, particularly in Silver Metallic and in terms of style, it’s the early cars that engender the most appreciative glances. A well set-up and maintained 911T driven with an intelligent right foot will provide some of the most quintessentially rewarding driving experiences you have ever had, and even the 125bhp 911T for sale here will leave you with a serious grin.
