Ewan McGregor, renowned Hollywood actor and car aficionado, is making waves in the automotive world with the sale of his 1972 Porsche 911T Targa on BringATrailer.com. McGregor, known for his diverse taste in vehicles, previously parted ways with a 1927 Buick Master Six sedan due to its struggle on his hillside property. Now, the spotlight is on his sleek Porsche, acquired in 2020.
McGregor’s journey into the world of classic cars began with a childhood influenced by Volkswagen Beetles, motorcycles, and a fateful encounter with a 1972 Ford Mustang during the Moulin Rouge days in Australia. Since moving to the United States in 2008, McGregor has amassed an impressive collection, including a 1960 Silver Cloud II, Porsche 718 Cayman, rat rods, and even an electric-converted 1954 VW Beetle.
This vintage Porsche boasts a fascinating history, having been stored from the late 1970s until McGregor’s acquisition in 2020. Sporting a 2.4-liter flat-six engine, five-speed manual transaxle, and a striking black leatherette finish, the 911T Targa stands as a testament to McGregor’s discerning taste in automobiles. With features like a removable roof panel, stainless-steel Targa bar, and 911S-style front spoiler, this classic exudes both style and performance. McGregor’s impressive Porsche just sold for $166,000 so if you’re looking to own a piece of automotive history you’ll have to keep waiting.
