Impossible not to be charmed by this top-condition, classic Porsche 912 Targa “soft window”.
An innovative convertible concept with a stainless steel roll-bar complete with removable roof and a zip-off transparent plastic rear window. A Coupé, Targa and full convertible in one!
The “Soft Window” was only manufactured for 14 months between December 1966 (as a 1967 model) and January 1968.
