Elferspot Spotlight: A Le Mans-Era 904, a Signal Yellow SC Targa and a 230,000 km GT3 RS

Elferspot tends to be at its best when the selection refuses to make a neat argument, and this round is about as broad as the marketplace gets. The Porsche-focused platform pulls collector-grade cars from dealers, specialists and private sellers across Europe and North America, and the three we picked this time sit at wildly different ends of the hobby. One is a seven-figure sports racing car with FIA papers. One is a usable G-Series Targa in a factory color you have probably never seen on one. The third is a modern RS with more miles on it than most family sedans ever see. What ties them together is that each one gets its identity from something other than presentation. The 904 has a competition file and a factory repair history. The SC has a Paint to Sample order sheet. The GT3 RS has fifteen documented dealer services and an odometer that most sellers would rather not talk about. Three cars, three completely different arguments for why a Porsche is worth owning. GALLERY-EMBED This $2.6 million Porsche 904 raced Reims, the Tour de France and Goodwood. Chassis 904-083 is interesting long before the USD 2,600,000 asking price enters the conversation. It went to French Porsche distributor Sonauto in April 1964 and then spent its early years being raced, hard, by Claude Barbier, Valentin Aldy and Cyr Febbraio, turning up at the 12 Hours of Reims, the Rallye des Ardennes and the Tour de France. Animoya Garage in Pontiac, Michigan, now offers the silver Carrera GTS with its FIA Historical Technical Passport and a continuous ownership record backed by period photographs and paperwork. Historic use continued well past the sixties, including outings at the Goodwood Revival and Tour Auto. That competition life is also why 083 is not an untouched early 904, and the listing is upfront about it. After an accident the car went back to the factory, which fitted a replacement chassis and body while retaining the engine, gearbox and running gear. It then took on the later Series 2 updates, and the seller states that only ten cars were converted in period. The fiberglass body was sympathetically restored in the 1990s after decades in Germany. The matching-numbers two-liter four-cam engine and gearbox are still with the car, though a 904/6 specification six-cylinder is currently installed so the car can be driven and competed while the original unit is preserved separately. Worth remembering what the 904 represented: it was Porsche's first production model with a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body and a key step toward the purpose-built mid-engined racers that followed. Buy this one for the history file, not for originality-purist bragging rights. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED Was this the only Porsche 911 SC Targa painted Signal Yellow? Color changes an SC Targa more than it has any right to, especially when the color came from the factory. This 1982 Canadian-delivery car was ordered Paint to Sample in Signal Yellow 1YH over black leatherette, and Scan Automotive in North Vancouver believes it may be the only SC Targa built in that shade. Take that claim as the dealer's read rather than documented fact, but the PTS order itself is the part that matters, and it gives the car an identity the moment you walk up to it. Three owners, matching numbers, 135,200 kilometers, USD 94,000. The order sheet had more on it than the paint. A 930 rear spoiler was specified from new and still comes with the car, although a standard engine lid is fitted at the moment. Silver 15-inch Fuchs, a stainless Targa bar and chrome brightwork give it an odd and rather appealing mix of late G-Series mechanicals with earlier visual cues. Changes since delivery are minor and easy to undo: a Momo Prototipo wheel, a Bluetooth-capable radio, Rest-of-World rear bumperettes. Mechanically, this is the mature SC, the 3.0-liter in its final 204 PS European specification with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, up from 180 PS and then 188 PS earlier in the run. The one thing missing is paperwork. The listing does not publish a detailed service chronology, and at this money you would want to see one. This is a driver's G-Series Targa with an unusual order sheet, not a preservation-grade car, and it is priced and presented accordingly. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED 143,000 Miles in a GT3 RS? Porsche still gave it an approved warranty. Almost every 991 GT3 RS listing opens with how little the car has been used. This Lava Orange example does the opposite and leads with 230,884 kilometers, which is roughly 143,000 miles in a car most owners treat as a weekend appointment. Jurjens Automotive in Meppel, the Netherlands, is asking EUR 129,900. Two owners, accident-free, matching numbers, and here is the part that makes it work: every recorded service was carried out by authorized Porsche dealers, and the car is still covered by Porsche Approved warranty through April 2027. The service file is what turns that odometer reading from alarming into genuinely compelling. Fifteen Porsche dealer visits are listed between January 2016 and May 2025, starting at 10 kilometers and running through 219,991. The specification is serious too, with PCCB ceramic brakes, front-axle lift, rear-axle steering, PASM, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, carbon buckets, the Clubsport Package, Sport Chrono, black PDLS+ LED headlights and a lot of carbon trim, currently on Pirelli P Zero Corsa N2 tires. Underneath it all is the first-generation 991 RS package as Porsche launched it in 2015: naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, 500 PS, seven-speed PDK, magnesium roof, carbon body panels, 918 Spyder-derived buckets, 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h. Be clear-eyed about what high mileage does to resale on a car like this, because the next buyer will price it the same way you are. But if you want an RS to drive rather than store, this is the one in the market that has already proven the concept works. View Listing
