Hello
I own a 1971 911S Targa. The car was restored by myself between 1986 and 1990 and has been going strong eversince. The car according to Porsche was registered in Germany in 1971 and from my checks has matching numbers. Options list included recaro leather seats, auxillary heater.
I carried out the rebuild on the engine, gearbox and all mechanical parts myself. At the same time I subcontracted work to a garage to change inner and outer sills,door check plates , carry out any welding necessary and carry out a bare metal respray. All suspension and relevant engine parts were stove enameled by myself during the process. Interestingly the original front wing mounted oil radiator has survived in excellent condition. I changed the colour of the car during the rebuild from light metallic blue to Porsche Meteor grey; maybe I should not have done this but I like the colour.
I cant think of anything else at this introduction message. Hopefully, there are other folks who would like either more information or who have questions I can help them with.
