There must be some new members on the 996 site that have taken home a Targa since April. Please post your pictures of your prize here!

Just got a 2002 C2 manual - seal grey with boxster red interior. More pics when it is sunny and I can find a stunning location.

I love the look of the 996 Targa, don't know why but for me I think they are better looking than the coupe and the cabriolet....

And here's the interior resplendent in boxster red. I hope this is no harder than black and grey to maintain. There are a few parts that could do with a touch up, such as around the ignition key so any tips welcome.

I've always had a soft spot for Targas. My first ride in a Porsche was in a late '70s 911 Targa. Brown with chocolate interior if memory serves me.

P.s Does anyone know how many RHD Targas out of the 996 figures? Would be interesting to see.

Wow a Targa with a rear wiper.
Didn't know that came that way
You do have a Major problem, the steering wheel got misplaced to the wrong side

Looks good in red!
Rear wiper was a factory option choice by the original owner along with sports exhaust. Magnificent!

Just purchased this weekend. 2003 Targa in Arctic Silver Metallic with Black Leather. Many thanks to Rennlister GNAT for helping do a pre-purchase inspection on this car and to IMA Motorwerke in Chantilly for the same. Kind of scary agreeing to buy a car sight unseen but these guys really helped! Car drove beautifully from Chantilly back to Greensboro.

Nice Targas - I see I am in good company
"
@Desmo900rider - is that seal grey? Looks mean with those wheels
@David M - did they pick up much on the PPI - car looks great with dark windows.

I know it was an option, I just have not seen a Targa with one before
