And another Canadian targa...
Here's my recently acquired 1980 SC, my first Porsche. It's loud, cantankerous and smells a bit, and I love it! The previous owner had taken good care of it, but he just wasn't driving it much, so an opportunity to own a car I've admired since childhood suddenly arose. I had been looking at other, newer sports cars in this price range, but when I found out about this one, they were all swept aside.
It was given a thorough going-over by an air-cooled specialist in my area. The car has a few issues, but now we know what they are, and I was able to get a fair price as a result. I love the open-air feeling with the targa top. Looking forward to lots of summer driving fun with this one. John

This is my first post, so let's start here:
 This is my lagoon green 1988 Targa. Original from the US, but now living in Belgium. |

Hey Sputnik,
Welcome to the PP board, and welcome to the very exclusive Lagoon Green Targa club (Mine is an '87)! Is that a child seat in the back of yours, and if so, what kind are you using and how do you have it secured? Still trying to figure out a solution for my 3 year old who loves Porsches! Thanks for posting a pic, love it!

Hi 65_Lincoln, I didn't know this is such an exclusive color. Anyway I love the color. The interior leather is grey-olive. What's yours? You have a pic?
It is a child seat for my 3,5 year old son. It is a Recaro Milano and is fastened with the standard 3-point seat belt. If possible I will post a picture of it installed in the car, but it will be in the weekend I suppose. FYI, he loves the Porsche also. Although the heavy sound of the flat6 brings him to sleep easily. |

Thanks Sputnik, my interior is black leather. I will have to dig up a pic.
I guess that either the '88 had 3 point belts, or they were installed later, my '87 only has the 2-point lap belt with the inertia reel, which won't hold a car seat well enough. I have to pull out the rear shelf to see if I have the mounting point for a 3 point belt (I think it might?) and then try to source a belt for it. If you wouldn't mind sending me a pic of the seat by PM, I'd appreciate seeing your setup, but it might be a bit off-topic for this thread. Thanks!
