Can't claim encyclopedic knowledge of 911 prices but from memory Targas are just a bit weird and lose value. Realistically why would you buy one? Other than to be a hard-core 911 nerd.
I just like the look, same with the Ferrari F355 targa style, it's a Marmite look perhaps but I like them.

Back in the 80s the Targa was a better car than the 911 turbo. It was five speed, no turbo lag, nicer feeling brakes etc. The Turbo looked better with its big rear arches but was 4 speed (iirc) and just not as nice to drive. Fecking flew in a brutal sort of way though! :D

The targa was popular as a lot of convertibles back then were leaky, windy rag tops. So to pop the roof panel out and get soem sun but have a water tight roof option was better. I didn't even know they still made targas today! I've not noticed any about?

Auto box :(

I'll never buy another auto Porsche (or any other sports car), no matter what fancy names they call their auto boxes, they're crap on sports cars, in a 4x4 or family motor then auto all day long, but in a sporty car it kills the experience and sounds like it's going to destroy itself as it slams the auto gears home.

One of the (German) old boys I work with was one of the original architects of the dual clutch flappy paddle 'box in the 90s for F1...the dual clutch 'box was originally built for F1, but for esoteric reasons they took out the second clutch but kept all the rest of it. That's how F1 and MotoGP boxes work to this day.

Anywhoo....he prefers traditional epicyclic boxes like you get in a Saloon :D

Do they make any with cheesy body kits? I think they are compulsory for these raffles.

Mat Armstrongs rebuilt Porsche Caymen! :thumbup:

You probably need to watch the rebuild vids below to see if you're brave enough to enter the comp though. TBF Porsche gave it a clean bill of health!
