1973 S Targa RHD

[squirdan]

this Targa caught my eye and looks quite nice

would anyone hazard a guess what it would be worth if fitted with a (non matching numbers) S spec engine?

cheers

No idea what it would be worth though, sorry.

OK, I'll have a go:

A top flight RHD 2.4S coupe, matching numbers = £90k+?
A quality restored RHD 2.4S coupe, non-matching numbers = £70k?
A good condition RHD 2.4S coupe, non-matching numbers = £50k?

A top flight RHD 2.4S targa, matching numbers = £65k+?
A quality restored RHD 2.4S targa, non-matching numbers = £45k?
A good condition RHD 2.4S targa, non-matching numbers = £35k?
A good condition RHD 2.4S targa, with a 2.2T engine = £25-30k?

YMMV.

There might be a SLIGHT premium for the colour. Glacier blue is rare.

Interesting that RHD 2.4S coupes have a premium over targas when you consider the rarity of each. 144 coupes and 46 targas.

Coupes will always have a premium over Targas irrespective of numbers....desirability/demand outweighs rarity in this case.

They are rarer as they were less popular.....and always will be.

I think there were a couple of other threads last year about 2.4S Targa values if I remember correctly. A nice looking silver RHD S that was fitted with a T engine. Seller was on ddk and may be helpful re pricing

There was also a LHD to RHD converted yellow car that needed quite a lot of bodywork that I think ended up in an auction.

I had a think about both but when I worked it out, I would be in for £50k+ for either car finished to a decent standard and I would rather have a coupe.

Rare colour but not my favourite - I liked the silver one (despite generally not being a fan of silver).

Good luck.

i think this one is massively overpriced myself

but as I have a 2.4S engine that I removed from the RHD T targa I sold, it just got me thinking!

so if I bought this car, are you suggesting an engine swap could be on the cards for the right cash?

Just thinking out loud really. I was pondering buying it, swapping engines with my 2.4S engined 911T 2.2 Coupe, and I would then have two non matching but correct engined cars.

Did you say you already have a 2.4S engine spare from your sold Targa?

Cheers,



Kevin
btw - I agree that car sounds overpriced. I know that's a bit harsh not having seen it though

[squirdan]

OK so this is a US car and therefore in LHD, but is an S and has desirable extras like sport seats

it just went for $54k which is £35k

[hot66]

I thought all UK RHD 2.4S's came with sports seats and leccy windows ?

You are quite correct.
And a 2.4S engine....
