This car has the wheels I absolutely crave - even in the same color. Can you comment on the brand?

I don't know about you, but for my eyes the new Singer's targa top looks familiar.

See the link below.

Which came out first, the chicken or the egg

Doesn't this new Singer Targa's roof look familiar to you?

Yes but they matched the wheels and interior.

Idk if there’s anything “ultimate” about it, but I recently came across my old Carbrella top and cant figure out why I ever quit using it. It’s quite handy when I don’t feel like putting on the Targa top!

hi David,

i guess this is only used for parking? Surely it would fly off when driving, no?

cheers,
Jan

I wonder if the boys at Car Bone would be interested in remaking this? Seems right up their alley.

Here is my recently acquired 1984 Carrera Targa, needs many hours of help before it sees the road again

I think that I enjoy my Saratoga top on those days when you can’t go top free. The open feeling of a Targa is the best feature in my opinion, and the clear top just continues the feeling. I also find the sheepskin seat covers are much cooler than the dark brown leather in the summer with the top off.

Yes - I only use it to keep out dust from the garage, or leaves if parked near a tree. It has to be removed for driving, but it folds up quite nicely for the trunk.
