1976 Porsche 911 Targa | London

A 1976 Porsche 911 Targa, from the G-series years when the 911 gained its integrated impact bumpers. The model is known for its rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six and a compact, low-slung shape. The Targa adds a removable roof panel for open-air driving. This car is Orange with a black interior, a bold pairing that stands out against city streets and plain studio walls alike. Its 2.7-litre engine sits at the back, where the 911 has always kept it. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car carries a continental look. With the roof panel removed, the cabin opens up to the camera, which helps photography, music videos and fashion and editorial shoots. Its 1970s lines and impact bumpers place period film and TV and advertising work squarely in the decade, and the orange body reads clearly from a distance at an event arrival. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. The car is based in London.
