Class video Roger. Wow! what a totally stunning car. Loved the whole retro theme in the video and seeing such a classic as the 911 Targa SC. Who wouldn't want one?
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.
A fantastic trip down memory lane, I will never tire of seeing those beautiful older 911’s, the rare occasion that you see one driving around I always stop for an envious look. Great video Roger as always. Have a great week.
Now you got me sentimental my dad had one in the 80s a Targa SC in gunmetal without the rear wing. Keep up the good work Boss great job on this Vid! Oh and nice choice of background tracks! 👍
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 👍🏻.
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.
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.
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
Wow super cool Porsche 911 😃 Great share! BIG 👍 from Danish friend
Mr Lowe thank you ! 😄👍
Love the trip down memory lane. As a child of the 80s Porsche was my dream car.
I'd take any 911, Targas included. What a beauty
I'm with you on that one !
Had a 76 Guards red Targa 2.7 liter
It felt like it was carved from a single piece of billet aluminum. Great car!
essential viewing here again Mr B, loved it. What a great car thanks for showing it
cheers Spook, glad to hear you liked
Thankyou for showing Roger great presentation
Community Tours Australia thanks, good to see you again

Thanks Geof, it would benefit from a bit of tidying but mechanically seemed very sound, best - Roger
Nice car roger, i loved

Your No1 Stalker.

Yellow Porsche Guy glad you like that colour !

Thanks for sharing this.
thank you

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
@carcleaningguru do you know the trim of this car?????
Nikos DIY looks like the guru was cleaning his NISMO on Rogers drive
@@laurencemajury8422 yes, I didn't notice that.
That yellow gives it a Covin look
....older "loose" cars can feel a little bit self built
not a lot of exhaust sound but otherwise a super video, I'll be watching this one again
thanks si , actually the exhaust was a bit muted
Great video, thank you. One criticism: I really wanted to hear the car!
Obli20v thanks, yes I should have got more exhaust sound although it sounded pretty muted
It is a PORSCHE.... with a soft a sound at the end. There is no debate about this.
Sweet Roger but the sports come on in 2020
By the looks of him I think Roger is really happy to be with this 911.
Or is that just an fold-up umbrella in his pocket?
😜
In yellow??
Was that your RD250 Roger in the picture?
ThePoppycat42 it was actually an RD400 and yes it was mine ! - I'm into bikes as well as Porsches !

@@RogerBaileyOnCars and i say it more than anything else as i just bought a backdated 911 and wanted to hear the engine ;)
