Hi i have the choice between a 1989 and a 93 swb twin turbo targa top and was wondering which you lot thought would be the better car.Many thanks Mike

Really depends on condition which is paramount over minor things such as whether it has tweed interior or not....which is one of the only noticeable differences. That and the climate control being slightly different.

 

Since most leather and tweed is pretty tired looking now, if original, it's not really a consideration as you'll end up re-trimming....unless it's velour maybe.

Thanks for the reply so the 89 is no more unreliable than the later models

No difference in reliablity. There were apparantly some minor engine revisions in 1990, but never seen proof of this.

 

The Advantage the 93 has over the 89, is trim improvements - You should have either velour or suede instead of Tweed and some other changes such as improved climate control system, seatbelts moved to the pillars instead of doors.

 

Ideally you want to purchase whichever is the best condition rather than anythign else though, but both being the same - go for the 93.
