One of the rare narrow-bodied Carrera 2.7 MFI Gendarmerie police Targas is being offered for sale at Bonham's Zoute Sale in early October. As one has not been publicly offered for at least a decade, it will be interesting to see the interest in this unusual 911 that came from the factory with the same RS engine found in the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS.
