Welcome to Ddk. Great first post.

I keep a database of Rhd 2.4S targas and I would love to add yours to my list. Would you find it possible to share the details of your car, chassis number, engine number, paint code/current colour please. Rest assured, nothing on my list is for commercial gain, it's all to do with tracking what's still alive and kicking! I also have Rhd databases from other years and have been on Ddk for 12 years or more. If you feel happier sending details by pm or email just let me know. I am really hoping yours is tangerine and once spent some time in Wigan. It's the only one left in the UK which I definitely know exists but don't have the details for.

I would also be grateful for the details of the metallic blue car pictured earlier in this thread which I believe is in the USA or Canada.

There were 46 Rhd S targas built and, without confirming yours, I have 20 confirmed survivors on my database.

Many thanks,

Regards
Mike

Calling Phil in NZ

Hi Phil,
If you are revisiting this thread I understand there might be two other rhd S targas you know of in your country as well as your own. If it were possible to obtain the details (as in the above post) of these two cars for my database I would be grateful. if not, perhaps you know the owners email addresses so I can get in touch directly.

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike

Just following up this post from last year when I emailed you about 2 other RHD 73 911S Targa's currently residing in New Zealand.

Does that now bring the total you know of to 22 accounted for out of the original 46 produced ??

Cheers
Phil

Slowly we seem to be catching all the known remaining UK supplied RHD 2.4S Targas (and owners) on DDK. How many is that?
