This 1971 Porsche 911 Targa presents as a visually striking example, finished in a vibrant green with a refreshed beige interior featuring Porsche-embossed seats. It’s currently fitted with period-style EQUIPE alloy wheels, widened wheel arches, a front lower lip, a later-model front bumper, and the iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler — all giving it a more aggressive stance reminiscent of later 911 variants.
Importantly, the VIN confirms it as a genuine 1971 model, making it part of a one-year-only production run known as the “OEL” model. This unique designation stems from the external oil filler flap located on the right rear quarter — a feature quickly dropped after public confusion led to costly mistakes at petrol stations.
While the car wears later visual cues, it retains its original charm beneath the surface and would make a fantastic candidate for restoration back to factory specification — especially given its collectible model year.
A rare and special piece of Porsche history with strong potential for the right enthusiast.
