Porsche 911 Targa SC is reviewed here, one of the outstanding 911's from the 1980's.
For a fraction of the money you would pay for one of Porsche’s limited number cars, you could have a classic 911 that offers all the necessary ingredients and idiosyncrasies we associate with Zuffenhausen’s famous flat-six cars.

Hi Roger , this was the first 911 I bought , a Carrera SC Targa in Grand Prix white and I paid £20 k for it ,from Cridfords in Weybridge ...and I loved it . You needed Charles Atlas arms to steer it , massive leg muscles to use the brakes . But what a car ....wish I still had it . Your story seems very similar to mine with your love of the brand. Superb viewing again Roger ....Thanks.

Very polished presentation Roger, no doubt the owner is well impressed. Might just be worth having a closer look at its history, all that glitters isn’t necessarily gold but this particular example certainly appeals to my Porsche weakness. Thanks for sharing. Geof PS. Had a quick peek and it’s a nice affordable buy for someone who is looking for an air cooled Porsche for some weekend fun 👍🏻.

Thanks Geof, it would benefit from a bit of tidying but mechanically seemed very sound, best - Roger

This old girl certainly looks gorgeous. Especially with that useful PicNic spoiler on the back. No need to bring a table :-)) And not a single blonde stalker in sight!? Did you manage to give her the slip? However, I really do like the "new" 911 Targa 4 GTS. Got to an age in my life where 4wd is going to be a must for its safety aspect. Great videography and editing again RB. Your No1 Stalker.

@garymarsh3734 4 жыл бұрын

A great video and review, I have driven an SC once and I will concur with what you say about the driving experience, I'd be interested in hearing what condition this one is in, it's paint looks good from the video, but it's interior looks a bit distressed which I guess is understandable given its 37 years old.

@RogerBaileyOnCars 4 жыл бұрын

I'd say it was in fair condition, seemed mechanically sound, no sign of rust and priced well. good hearing from you again Gary - Roger

would have been nice to hear the engine and not just the monologue, no offence intended, but the car is about the engine. Never understand why people put the whale tail there when its not a turbo and hence doesnt need it, even the head of porsche at the time was not a fan of spoilers, awful addition IMO... but without it a pretty car
