Hailing from the ‘golden age’ of motoring, before overly assisted cars, numb handling and fake engine noises, the 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is one of the era’s most nimble roadsters.
Many will argue that the 911s of today are bloated or obese, carrying more weight than necessary to accommodate active driving systems and other ‘luxuries’.
