Few classic Porsches offer the combination of elegance, rarity and pure driving character of an early Porsche 912 Targa. This beautifully restored 1968 Porsche 912 Targa was built on 13 October 1967 and represents a particularly desirable and collectible example of Porsche’s early Targa concept.

Finished in the striking original-style Polored, complemented by a timeless black interior, this 912 has a wonderfully authentic presence. The combination of the vibrant exterior colour and black interior perfectly captures the character of Porsche in the late 1960s, while the distinctive Targa bodywork gives the car its unmistakable silhouette.

What makes this example particularly special is its Soft Window configuration. The early Soft Window Targa was produced for only 14 months, making these cars considerably rarer than the later Targa models fitted with the fixed glass rear window. The removable soft rear window and Targa roof create a unique open-air driving experience and are among the defining features of these early cars.

Under the engine lid sits Porsche’s characteristic 1.6-litre four-cylinder boxer engine, producing approximately 90 hp and driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. With its lightweight construction, rear-mounted air-cooled engine and excellent chassis balance, the 912 delivers a remarkably engaging driving experience. It combines much of the unmistakable character and styling of the early 911 with the smooth, approachable nature of Porsche’s four-cylinder powerplant.

This car is fully matching numbers, an important and highly desirable attribute for any serious Porsche collector. It has also been fully restored, bringing the car back to a condition worthy of its remarkable history while retaining the authentic character that makes an early 912 so appealing.

The car is accompanied by its original Porsche maintenance booklet, together with various invoices, providing valuable documentation of its history and care over the years. For collectors and enthusiasts, this documentation adds an important layer of provenance to an already exceptional example.

A 1968 Porsche 912 Targa Soft Window is not simply an attractive classic sports car; it is a rare piece of Porsche history. With its early production date, extremely limited Soft Window production period, fully matching-numbers configuration, restoration, original maintenance booklet and invoices, this Polored Targa presents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive versions of the early Porsche Targa.
