Targa Top Case

[356robo]

Did Porsche offer a case for a folded targa top? Was it standard, option, or accessory?

Thanks in advance,

Rob,

We have owned three Targas and were never advised of an optional top cover.

Making a cover would not challenge most upholstery shops.

However, in order to prevent creases, keep in mind that many Targa owners avoid folding the top.

Good luck,

Gerry

Will a unfolded Targa top fit in the front hood??

Nope. It only fits in the trunk folded.

Didn't the saratoga top fit in the trunk? If so I thought the soft Targa top would fit. I never tried though.

Thanks Gerry for your response. I am asking because I bought a 2 owner fully documented and original 1970 Targa that came with a Targa Top case.

Mystro,

Some have said that a carefully placed unfolded top will fit behind the front seats but I never tried it.

Rob,

Was it a factory option, or aftermarket?

It will, as we have done it.

YES...

but on 74 and earlier cars only. (Pre power brakes).

And the saratoga top will also, but not on later cars.

Rob,

Here are the factory options from 1969-1971.

As per Luc, it would appear that your case was an aftermarket item.

Best,

Gerry

Thanks to all for your replies. Looks like the case is an aftermarket piece.

No per brakes on my 72 and I'll be damned if I can get that top in it unfolded. Please please please share the secret!
