Talking We've all seen this before I'm sure!

Yes we've all made the mistake at least once. But usually in the first few months of our appreciation of 911's. How many of us knew that the "T" in the designation of this nice 1970 911T meant Turbo???



Downdraft carbs and everything!!!



I have no idea what the reserve is, but I kind of doubt that it will reach the BIN price. Too bad really, because it doesn't seem to be a bad example of a "T".

I bought the "E" model specifically to avoid the turbo lag!

So if T can stand for either Turbo, Targa or Twin.

Then TT might stand for Turbo Targa.

And TTT might stand for Twin Turbo Targa.

And if you throw Touring into the mix you will have a
TTTT Twin Touring Turbo Targa.

E stands for everything, an all option 911.
