TheBaywatchKid Posted 29September, 2020 Report Share Posted 29September, 2020 Always wanted a 911, started off wanting a 997. As it got closer to the time, the car I had was similar HP and era, (320bhp). Given I live close to the beaches in the eastern subs in Sydney, theres just no where to put down that power, and I wanted something more manual. Had a look at some SC's, and earlier, and just fell in love again with the shape. When the world is 95% Teslas and everyone is getting chauffeured around, I think the more manual the car is, the better. And Targa was always the pick for me. So I was over the moon when I picked this up last weekend. Originally a UK car, still has matching numbers. I'm Irish originally so if i ever go back it'll be coming with me. I loved the blue sport interior, which was a factory option. Runs well, still has the 915 gearbox. Had to get the Fuel accumulator replaced, as I found sometimes on warm running it was having trouble firing. Other than that, theres just small things that need to be done, but thats the life of a vintage car owner! Would love to hear anyones experience/advice with their SC/Targa, or if you have spare parts for 911 SC Targas, let me know what you have! Excited to meet up with some of you in the future and share the passion! Stepo, SteveF, edgy and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, Simon has been looking after the car for the last two years. I brought it to him to do the fuel accumulator and had nothing but a good experience so Im going to try keep the car with him, even though its a 1hr 30 drive. Lets see how that goes! But I loved all the people at Autowerks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycee1977 Posted 22October, 2020 Report Share Posted 22October, 2020 Perfect Eastern Suburbs ride, congrats ! I just got my first ever Porsche too, a '77 Targa, it's going full outlaw/backdate/restomod/you name it so it won't be on the road for a bit but there will be parts available over the course of bringing it back to life. I'm in Dover Heights so not far away from you. There was a classics meetup up at the lighthouse at Vaucluse early on Sunday 27th Sept that I went and checked out (on foot, boo) - there were some great P cars there as well as a host of other beauties. You should get along to that, I believe it's monthly but don't have the details and can't find them online, sorry. Current state of mine in the pics ! tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
