It seems almost every person selling a vintage portion will make some sort of claim as to why the car they’re selling qualifies as a “unicorn”. Some of those claims are wishful, and some are understatement. We’d argue this 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Targa is the latter.
Finished in Turquoise Metallic (L35X as per listing) over an equally unusual Leather to Sample Venice Green interior, this all-wheel-drive 964 combines one of Porsche’s rarest body styles with an exceptionally uncommon color combination. While most will gravitate toward Guards Red, Black or Silver examples, Porsche’s early-1990s paint palette ventured into far more adventurous territory. Turquoise Metallic is among the most distinctive, and pairing it with a special-order green leather interior transforms an already uncommon 964 into something approaching one-off territory.
The rarity extends beyond the colors. Porsche built relatively few Carrera 4 Targas during the 964 generation, making them significantly less common than their Coupe and Cabriolet counterparts. Production numbers are frequently overlooked because the 964 RS receives much of the collector attention, yet the Carrera 4 Targa has quietly become one of the harder variants to source—particularly with desirable provenance and documentation.
This example was delivered new through Porsche Knubel in Münster, Germany before moving to the Netherlands in 1999, where it has remained in the hands of just four owners. It retains matching numbers, a rust- and accident-free body and, importantly for collectors, its original panels and factory decals. Although the car has received a cosmetic repaint, the seller notes that no filler was used and that the body remains exceptionally straight.
Mechanically, the history is equally reassuring. The accompanying service book carries an impressive 24 dealer service stamps, while documentation records cylinder head work in 1999, a complete engine rebuild in 2001 and an engine reseal in 2008. The flat-six reportedly starts cleanly, maintains excellent oil pressure and received its most recent oil service in 2025. For buyers seeking additional peace of mind, the seller also offers a major service, fresh tires and attention to minor oil leaks before delivery.
Cars like this illustrate why Porsche collecting has evolved beyond simply chasing the fastest or most expensive model. Factory color, unusual specifications and documented provenance increasingly separate exceptional examples from merely desirable ones. A Turquoise Metallic Carrera 4 Targa with a Leather to Sample Venice Green interior checks every one of those boxes.
For the collector who appreciates individuality as much as originality, this may be one of the most memorable 964s currently on the market.

Why We Love It
The 964 occupies a sweet spot between classic and modern 911s, but examples like this remind us that specification can be just as important as model designation. Green over green was never going to be a volume seller in 1991—and that’s precisely why it stands out today. It’s unapologetically period, wonderfully confident and exactly the sort of factory combination that collectors spend years trying to find.
