£ 79 950

Presented in its classic factory combination of Grand Prix White over grey leather, this 1991 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 4 Targa offers a compelling blend of originality, careful ownership, and expertly judged enhancement.

Having had seven former keepers, the car has clearly benefitted from enthusiastic and knowledgeable custodianship, most notably in recent years. Extensively reworked by respected marque specialists GCR, this example has been the subject of an impressive programme of preventative maintenance and sympathetic upgrades, with in excess of £45,000 invested since 2024 alone.

The work carried out has been both comprehensive and intelligently specified, focused on enhancing the driving experience while remaining true to the character of the 964. Highlights include a full gearbox rebuild, complemented by the fitment of a Golden Rod short-shift mechanism, delivering a more precise and engaging gearchange. A 964 RS clutch and lightweight flywheel have also been installed, sharpening throttle response and overall driver involvement.

Braking performance has been significantly uprated with the addition of 993 RS front brakes and 964 Turbo rear brakes, while the suspension has been transformed through the installation of KW Variant 1 coilovers. The car has subsequently been professionally set up and corner-weighted by the renowned specialists at Centre of Gravity, ensuring exceptional balance and road manners.

Further enhancements include the fitment of genuine RUF 18-inch alloy wheels shod in Michelin tyres, 964 RS engine mounts for improved drivetrain stability, and a bespoke Hayward & Scott exhaust system, lending a purposeful yet refined soundtrack. The Targa experience has also been elevated with the addition of a GTS-style removable roof panel.

Now sublime to drive, this 964 Carrera 4 Targa delivers a truly visceral rear-engined experience, perfectly balanced by a level of usability that makes it equally at home on daily duties as it is on more spirited drives. The carefully chosen upgrades and meticulous recent preparation have resulted in a car that feels taut, responsive, and deeply engaging, while still retaining the practicality and character that define the 964 generation.

With an extensive and carefully curated specification—far beyond what can be fully detailed here—this is a standout example that offers an exceptional driving experience alongside reassuring provenance. With its documented mileage, substantial recent expenditure, and desirable specification, this Carrera 4 Targa stands as a particularly well-sorted and engaging example of the 964 generation, ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next custodian.
