Export 56 at The Targa Florio Rally in 2023

Export 56 were delighted to attend the Targa Florio Classica in 2023 with a very special car.

The famous road race in Sicily runs from the 12-15 October 2023 with over 150 classic cars attending from all over Europe! Export 56 prepared, ran and supported several rather special Classic Porsche’s including a wonderfully original 911 S/T with a very special connection to this famous road race.

Our 911 S/T was celebrating its 50th year anniversary since its class win at the Targa Florio back in 1973. This original M491 optioned car is one of the most original race Porsche 911’s in the world! The car competed in numerous races, rallies and  hill climbs in Italy during the 70s, 80’s and 90’s. Miraculously the car never crashed and retains all of its originality including a completely undamaged bodyshell, fibreglass panels, plexiglass windows and original interior.

All of our cars performed faultlessly and the S/T was the celebrated car of the event making its 3rd appearance at this famous race.

1971 Porsche 911 S-T (M491)  911 130 0721

911 130 0721 is one of the most original examples of an M491 S-T in the world!

The car was raced principally in Italy and was active between mid 1971 for just under 5 decades!

The most significant races entered were the 1971 Coppa lntereuropa at Monza and the 1972 and 1973 Targa Florio’s. The Targa Florio was the most famous road race of its time and had similar status to the Le Mans 24 hours and the Nürburgring and Monza 1000kms races.

‘0721’ is currently presented in its famous class winning Targa Florio livery with original sponsors decals and race number.

1956 Porsche 356 T1A

Another one of our cars that competed at the event was a rather stunning 1956 Porsche 356 T1A Coupe. Export 56 owner Michael Pacey and Debra Pacey teamed up to run the car over the 3 day rally and the car was faultless tackling the 3 days with ease.

This particular 356 has been in the custody of the previous Chairman of Porsche Club Great Britain, Paul Kelley sincee 2007.

This rather special 356 coupe has won several Concours events in Great Britain and won first place in the European Porsche Parade, Netherlands 2019. The car has been displayed by Porsche at numerous international Porsche Club events including Le Mans Classic, 356 Internationals in Denmark and Belgium, Porsche Parades in Sardinia and the Netherlands etc. Also attended numerous events in Great Britain including 356 International, Silverstone Classic and many regional events.
