MILEAGE

The speedometer shows 13. 41 kilometers (or 8. 51 miles).   When comparing this figure against that which is shown on an original service record dated August 1992 (93. 10 kilometers) the total estimated miles this car has been driven is 70. 89 miles.

HISTORY

I was 10 years old when my Dad drove this car home from the Dealer.   For my Dad. the Porsche he wanted had to be the E (Mechanical Fuel Injection) model. Targa and with the coveted Sportomatic transmission.   Even in those early days. finding this car with these specifications proved to be challenging.

There were only 270 copies of the “E” models produced by Porsche in 1971.   Thus. the total of number of productions with the Targa/Sportomatic combination was/is much less.

Needless to say. this car represents a major timepiece of my life which explains why I have held onto the car for 17 years since my Dad passed away.   This car was my father's cherished “baby”.   He had multiple cars and lived only a few miles from his work.   And so. it is not possible that my Dad put many miles on this car.   He drove this car very sparingly. mostly on weekend trips to the golf course.   In fact. I learned to drive this car when I was just 14 years old after a round of golf with my dad.

My father passed away in 2000 when I was overseas with the US military.   Due to this commitment. I was not able to immediately take possession of the car.   Instead. I made arrangements for the car to be stored in Pasadena. California. where the car remained non-operated for more than five years.

RESTORATION

I personally managed the restoration of this vehicle over a two year period from 2005 to 2007.   All of the work performed on this car was performed by specialists in Southern California with 40+ years of experience.   My focus principally involved the exterior and interior of the vehicle to include upholstery. rubber and seals. carpets. re-chroming. wheels and full body and paint with both rear and front windows. and Targa roll bar off.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY

Yes.   All matching numbers.
