Jim45 Posted 16February, 2019 Report Share Posted 16February, 2019 Tidy build. https://tinyurl.com/y4vnb8wk Would like a Targa of this era but not sure it would survive the daily grind in Sydney to be honest so this looks like the perfect way to make an older car a reliable daily when you only have access to one classic car. I'd image range / recharge times are the current negatives using this technology. When we are inevitably forced away from the internal combusion engine I'd much rather be driving a vintage electric v some KIA B/S to be honest. Wonder when DANSK start making replica door panels with solar cells embedded? Anyone doing this type of thing in Aus currently - motor wise? Interesting.

tazzieman Posted 16February, 2019 Report Share Posted 16February, 2019 Interestingly I've only driven classic cars the last 10 years and only twice had a failure to proceed. Blocked carby jets in recently bought cars. It's not the car's fault anyway. That said I suppose I have to move with the times , thoughtwise at least , lest I get labelled classic myself. Which then opens up a large number of finely styled & iconic cars of several brands that could be electrified. Electric Jensen? Yes please. Would you commit the crime in a Ferrari Dino???

Jim45 Posted 16February, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 16February, 2019 A lot of people would regard this as a crime - flat 6 soul gone - sound and smell etc being the main crimes I'd assume. When I'm older and can't be bothered worrying about engines exploding (I have a 996) this might be the way to go. BTW - Why am I on carsales looking for unloved Targa's 😂 Interceptor eh... Heinous crime to some - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 17February, 2019 Report Share Posted 17February, 2019 I think it’s ok if the car was already molested/crashed/whatever I would like an electric daily. I’ve driven bmw i3 and they are a hoot around the city and suburbs. For whatever reason I don’t feel any mechanical sympathy for electrics and are quite happy to hoon hard. Plus the silence and lack of smell in cities is a real plus. I oppose any moves to pass laws forcing a choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's old but it should annoy you. No different to a long hood conversion really, except you can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sold my ‘78 targa last weekend - with no air in it was hard to drive this summer, that’s for sure! Beautiful car though, miss it already!!
