Anyone have a REALLY good pic of a mid 80's Targa in Red?

I'm trying to show my wife a picture of the car I'm considering, but all the pictures I've found are horrible. Can anyone point me to a really good high res picture of a mid-80's red/black targa?

Thanks!

Not sure which red, though I'm guessing Guards Red.

Can only offer Garnet Red Metallic - my '85 Targa:

I saw one today at foriegn cars italia today. I think I can find a pic.

It was kinda strange I walked in yesterday wearing a polo shirt and nice jeans and instantly had someone helping me. Today I came in with a t-shirt, dirty shoes and a slightly ratty pair of jeans on and didn't even get noticed til I got to the parts counter at the back of the place.

edit: doh they don't have a picture but here's the desp.

Not really an 80's car - but it sure looks like it!
My priced possession, leaving for Norway in two weeks...

Funny how I never lliked Targa's until really looking at pictures and understanding their lines........I like the idea of having an open air design without having to go completely topless, although I still like cab's!!!!

Sea Dweller:

I wasn't looking for a Targa, but backed into a good deal. I will be one of the first to say that a Coupe has the best lines, but when it comes to driving enjoyment, it's the ticket! I'm glad I got the Targa.
