Targas didn't leak when they were new and shouldn't leak now if adjusted properly. Ive had a few and have always got them to be dry, even through the worst of the British winter. The ones that leak are often badly restored on a bad jig so the hole where the roof fits is the wrong size, don't get one of those.
They are wobbly tho.
The 2.7 CIS cars had a bad press but weren't all that bad and most have long since been fixed. The 165bhp S doesn't feel much slower than the early 180bhp SC either. I also like the narrow rear arches.
That said, I agree that the SC is defo the best old 911 for general use, get the 81-on 204bhp version and you will never need to buy another car again.
