Targa Top Brumby's

Wooster · Post by **Wooster** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 12:10 pm

Simply out of curiosity , does anyone know how many targa tops were manufactured, the puropose and total number how many imported into Australia?

And yes the Galactic Lighspeed Red Rocket is a Traga top

Have NFI, but it wouldn't be that many + it's getting harder to find them too ...

I thought there was a web site with import numbers, but I can't find it - FROG may know ?

Cheers, Bantum ...

Found some figures for the US : Subaru sold 92,445 BRATS in North America ...

More details here : http://www.cars101.com/subaru_archives.html

It doesn't state the model type, So you could extrapolate from them that say maybe a 1/3rd of them would have been Targa tops ?

Still trying to find some AUS figures ... :9

Cheers, Bantum ...

I've got two, and know of another 4 around the area, so that gives us 7 that we know of now

I guess we could start a count? Dunno how we'd implement it though.

Cheers

I have a mate in Ayr who has one and I know of a second one still driving around in Ayr. That takes us up to 9
