You’ll appreciate that I’m about two years behind with the tale so I didn’t know that.

Or just Finnish?
I can only give you a teaser picture for now. Will fill in the gaps as soon as I get time..
It took me a long time to find a cover with the correct paint code

Oooh, exciting. Nice cover!
Thanks Feroz. I am a terrible father in all areas except the Dad joke.

Re: Finnish Francesca, 1973 targa resto
Bought to enjoy for now Thomas. It’s all fresh to me so a new learning curve. A nice driver in good condition. So far so good.

I didn't expect that !!
Yes - a thread on the 356 would be good.
That must be quite a rare car - late 356B T6 in what looks like Smyrna Green ?

Re: Finnish Francesca, 1973 targa resto
You are spot on Andy. It took me quite a while to spell the colour let alone say it. Yes, it’s a 63.
I was looking for something other than silver, red or white/ivory. Quite fancied black as you might expect but I was taken by this colour combination.
Regards
Mike

Re: Finnish Francesca, 1973 targa resto
Excellent thread resurrection, Andy, as I’d been thinking about both Mike’s yellow Targa, <and> his red 911, since I’ve been hoping I can persuade him to do another Sicily trip with me in the next year or two in one of them… and now I learn there’s a 356 to add to that sunshine convoy too!Lightweight_911 wrote:.

@mike… So what’s it going to be!?
We’d already agreed the red S, as of course that’s the right car to do a lap with Armando as co-driver…
But now I’m wondering if it should be this lovely coloured 356.
You sure know how to fill the ferry at Genoa!

Re: Finnish Francesca, 1973 targa resto
Loving the 356 Mike, hope you continue to enjoy. I recently went in a similar direction ('59 A, nice old thing not concours car) and am surprised how much I like it.
