Great image of the Targa Heinz, though I too prefer the coupe. While the galv process was well worth while, I remember repairing corrosion damage on my 82 SC over 20 years ago, but then my part of the world is not kind to metal.
As an alternative to an old Morgan I suspect an old Porsche represents a potentially more complex and expensive beast relative to it`s construction in terms of enclosed box sections which can rot from the inside out. Thus I suspect detecting the condition of the metalwork on an old Morgan can be somewhat simpler than on a Porsche...?
In terms of mechanical maintenance and repair, in the 80`s I remember paying circa £25 for a pair of valve springs for one valve on my SC, whereas around the same period of time a full set of eight valve springs for an MGB cost £14. OK so an MG is not a Morgan, but Morgan utilised far less sophisticated engines back then, than those found in a 911.
I guess once Rover engines were replaced by BMW in some Morgans, the cost and availability of parts may be somewhat different to earlier times...?
Size matters...? Compared to my mid 80`s +8, I have yet to discover the difference of piloting a Porsche round my local B roads, no problem in my SC in times past, but a 911 C4 of the modern variety..? Time will tell.
