You obviously know a lot about the car that does not seem to be publicly available or at least I was not aware of. There are different levels of knowledge and expertise in this game and I have a long way to climb.
Having said that I understand that a 2.4S coupe sold for just under 400k pounds at auction in the UK a week or so ago and this targa is only a bit over 25% of that.
Yes the Richard Hamilton car of The Beatles Abbey Road Album cover fame so e ceratin amount of celebrity attached to that sale
I think another "normal" 2.4S sold for a bit over half that in the same auction.Last edited by Terminator; 04-07-15, 12:50 PM.Clyde Boyer

1. Its a Targa, I like them, but most want a coupe
2. It doesn't run and has been sitting for a very long time so lots of systems need a full rebuild I suspect.
3 It does have some rust...and there will be more that can't be seen.
4. It will need a restoration.
I will make the following adjustments to the above statements
1. Still correct
2. Still correct
3. I don't think there is any or much more rust that we couldn't see after
very close inspection
4. It needs a partial restoration lots of originality to preserve. It will get it.
Dave and I are going to make sure of that.
In summary it is better than what I expected and thats why when I finally saw it in the flesh and corresonded with Dave that we decided to buy it.Clyde Boyer
