The Porsche 911 set the scene in the Sixties, and the 912 represented an affordable entry point into owning a fine German sports car. By the end of the Sixties, Porsche, as well as parent company Volkswagen, needed something new to tease the market with. Enter the 914, a mid-engined two-seat roadster with a removable Targa top, for a fun driving experience at a relatively more wallet-friendly price. If you're after one of these, we've got a 1976 Porsche 914 with 120,000 miles on the clock for sale. The current owner reports it to be all-original, and given that the 914 is already attaining classic status, you'd be making a smart buy on this one.
The 914's design is far removed from the more popular 911. For starters, it features pop-up headlamps and boat-tail styling reminiscent of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, which it was meant to replace. This 1976 Porsche 914 showcases all those features in a bright red paint job and rolls on a set of lovely period wheels. A side profile view further accentuates its mid-engined layout, as the cab is closer to the front than the rear of the car, lending it a darting, almost enthusiastic silhouette. It's capped off by black bumpers, black B-pillars, and a black Targa top. Note that the Targa top fits neatly within the trunk, so you don't need to leave it at home if venturing out topless. If you're concerned about luggage space, there's a front trunk as well since the engine lives just behind the passenger cabin. Inside, two occupants enjoy a spartan cabin free of the frivolities of modern-day sports cars. The seats feature a tartan-styled pattern in shades of red, with the iconic Porsche instrument cluster facing the driver. You've got wind-up windows and manually adjusted seats. However, the dash does host levers for the ventilation system, and there's a radio cassette deck with footwell-mounted speakers for some tunes. Pop in one of those cassette tape AUX adapters, and you're good to go with modern tunes via a smartphone.
This 1976 Porsche 914 comes with the largest engine offered, a 2.0-liter flat-four or Boxer engine that sits low in the center of the car. Developing 99hp and 118lb-ft, you can tell it's not a powerhouse, but the beauty of the 914 lies in its handling, wringing out every single horse from the soulful Boxer engine and snicking gears through the five-speed manual transmission. Zero to sixty may take a shade over ten seconds, but who cares when you're in such a wonderful little car?
The Porsche 914 is a Porsche after all, but a Porsche with a difference. Unlike the iconic, teardrop-shaped 911, the 914 had a more angular design, pop-up headlamps, and a mid-engined configuration. Aimed at occupying a space beneath the 911, the 914 would serve as an introductory Porsche. Co-developed with Volkswagen, the 914 would see nearly 119,000 examples made between 1969 and 1976. This particular 1974 Porsche 914 Targa comes to you with some enhancements, allowing it to offer an even more engaging driving experience. So grab it while you can, and use it as a detox tool to free your mind on the weekends.
Porsche, renowned for its legendary 911, has a rich history of crafting diverse models, including accessible entry-level options for enthusiasts aspiring to own a piece of the brand's heritage. In the 1960s, this ethos gave birth to the Porsche 914, a collaboration with Volkswagen and a brainchild of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the grandson of the founder. The 914, with its innovative design and approachable performance, was a resounding success, amassing over 118,000 units from 1969 to 1976. Among these is the 1973 Porsche 914 Targa, a splendid representation of the model, boasting 73,000 miles since its inception. Let's delve into the finer details of this classic.
The Porsche 914 was a joint Porsche-Volkswagen project to grant both automakers an affordable, entry-level sports car to add to their line-ups. The new model would hit the market in 1969 and be produced until 1976. In 1970, Motor Trend voted it their Import Car Of The Year. This particular 1976 Porsche 914 comes from the last year of production and bears just 40,000 reportedly original miles since new. The current owner is said to have had the car for approximately five years. There's also said to be some original documentation available, as well as the owner's manual and books.
Porsche may have very well built their legacy on making fine sports cars, but you can’t butter your bread with that segment only. So, the prolific German automaker turned to a segment that has been growing and growing for around two decades to date. SUVs. Porsche’s first SUV was the Cayenne, introduced in 2002 as a midsize luxury SUV. The Macan followed in 2014, tackling the compact luxury space. These days, the Macan is an excellent entry point for those who wish to own and drive a Porsche, but have got family commitments that need fulfilling. Just check out this 2019 Porsche Macan and you’ll see how it perfectly melds practicality with Porsche performance. This 35,000-mile machine could be yours if you act fast.

The Porsche 911 is a car that every petrolhead knows about. There are two things that stand out about the 911 – its iconic, teardrop shape, and the air cooled engines that it once used.

Of course, if you want a really potent 911, the Turbo is the way to go. So, say hello to this 21,150-mile 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S that’s for sale with us. Hailing from the 991 generation, this car is a great weekend driver, but it can also be your daily if you desire.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades.

The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
