Good one. Of course nobody knows the car gets its name from the race and will think you're an Italian florist or something. But still, good one.

like the wheels, and color. Unlike most people, I am not a fan of the targa bar contrast on the 991, but the silver paint works great!

I am in 100% agreement. The wheels and color make this the perfect Targa.

I don't know why, but body color + silver bar + black cloth roof = too, too much for my eye. If it has to have a silver bar, the Targa only looks good in one of the silver body colors. Now turn that bar to black and it's a whole different story . . .

just wrap this " targa florio" 's hoop matte black and there you have it ...the look of the 1980s targa , down to the homage " forged black Fuchs " -look wheels

That's funny, Chuck!



Too bad OP did not have an opportunity to order PTS 'Coppa Florio Blau' on his 991 Targa and he would have had a 'Coppa Florio Targa Florio' on his hands!

What country in Europe you are located, Ted? How easy or difficult it was for you to get approval from 'Porsche Exclusive' for the 'pepita' inserts on your seats? What was the cost? Thank you.
