This week The CarGuys search for and buy not one, but two 1980s Porsche 911s! Why? Why not?
Jason has been searching for one for over 6 months and has finally found the perfect 3.2 Carrera at Paul Stephens (www.paul-stephens.com) - a 17k mile perfect condition example in Marine Blue.
Meanwhile Damian has also found a classic 911 Supersport Targa, somewhat recklessly, from auction (just because it looks cool), and is planning to surprise Jason by turning up on collection day.
What are the differences between these two classic Porsche 911s? How do they drive 30 years on? Are Spike Ferresten and Jerry Springer correct in claiming that Porsches offer the greatest driving experiences? Is this just the beginning of a new Porsche corner of the CarGuys garage?
All these questions and more are answered in this two-part film.
Created by two ordinary guys with an obsession for cars, TheCarGuys.tv is a digital channel that celebrates everything automotive - supercars, classics, quirky, hidden gems and those in the TCG garage.

Interesting how the steering wheel in Damian’s 911 changed from the beginning of the video to the end. Guessing he left the auction 911 at the shop and took a different one.

[@jeremyhicks964]

Great video guys. Well put together. Brings back many memories, including turning down a lovely supersport targa at £8k because it had had a front wing repair and one small rust spot! Another one of my ‘If I’d only known’ car buying moments!

[@normsallitt2753]

Just an Fyi: Targa has a Turbo wing, coupe has a Carrera wing 👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

That’s what I live about Porsche people - attention to detail

[@astonmartin4360]

I owned a 1985 Targa Super Sport.I had it for 6 years with no problems at all.A very reliable every day driver. 👍

[@mrjdgibbs]

slight notchiness into second is probably the understatement of the day.

[@steffydog]

Brilliant, lovely to see two beauties 🏁

[@horsepowerhub7480]

Nice video! Damian, your steering wheel changed midway through!! 😬😂😂 The period wheel suits much better however, lovely bit of kit overall!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Horsepower Hub Ha - I knew it’d be you that noticed. Got a new steering wheel while we were there at Paul Stephens

[@horsepowerhub7480]

TheCarGuys.TV It does look a lot better I must say. 2 awesome cars, and love the colour on Jason’s!

[@hectorsoy]

@@TheCarGuysTV i actually love the 3 spoke wheel you started with in the Targa! I prefer that to the 4 spoke wheel. Both stunning 911s!!

[@JacK-yr8ri]

Really enjoyed this video, came here from STG. Hooked already. Love classic 911's, shame they have shot up in price so much!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks, Jack. We’re really big into air-cooled 911s at the moment and so this is just the beginning.

[@stephenwarren8671]

Lovely targa. The nicest 911 of its day. 👍

[@horatiotimewaster5755]

Late to this video, but it's a great one. The oil level guage is only readable at idle on level ground, as I recall. Remember a dealer telling me how it confused almost everyone. Had so many great drives in a 1984 Carrera coupe. Manual steering, heavy hinged pedals, bad Blaupunkt radio and A/C, serious lift-off oversteer, no cup holders (a good thing). It really was special and so visceral. Love these cars!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

In this case the oil level dial was faulty.

[@lyttonwilliams7161]

I love those beautiful automobiles.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

No arguments

[@oilylampman7252]

great to have a 911...…...you have well over a million other 911 owners as mates!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Very true

[@sammatchett6014]

Is super sport the euro name for turbo look and the m491 package?

[@stephenlane9127]

Great video guys, hillarious! What beauties they are, real great finds too!

[@michaelhoeldke3859]

Very well done!

[@iainmcglynn833]

Wonderful both ❤️❤️

[@WheresTheAnyKey1]

wow, pretty much nothing else one can say. Great spec, and the targa, great shape!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Totally agree - as soon as I saw that black Targa and it’s low profile - I had to have it

[@waynebrown7310]

Damian: On your porshe, if your oil pump is good. I think you need an oil pressure sending unit..and check the wires to that unit( oil pressure sending unit)..

[@VectorOfKnowledge]

If I had either of these cars, I'd only ever play - and allow anyone else to play - synthwave music it.

Glad you liked it - we’ll see what we can do

[@mohamedimardbrucelee8564]

Love this, driving around my neck of the woods in your lovely 911’s as I do in mine

Haha awesome, reminds me of an old 80s movie where 2 guys go and buy 911s with stolen money.

[@arnoldmosk494]

Very nice cars and a very nice video , good luck guys !!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks, Arnold - that means a lot

[@mansfield1971]

Proper drivers cars with that proper 'steering feel' you can see why these are on the up.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Absolutely, though I get the sense prices are softening now - so more people can afford to get one

[@mansfield1971]

TheCarGuys.TV would like one myself, just wish it was 5 years ago (when they where more affordable) before I learnt to appreciate you don't need a bazillion horsepower.

[@ndave008]

Want to know the purchase price on these auction 911.

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

Just great looking cars!!!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Yes indeed!

[@clairebannister4749]

That Targa needs about 10k spending on it.. I know, I had 4 3.2 carreras.. lol

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Gulp

[@clairebannister4749]

Don't panic - they are worth so much now it's worth paying to get everything fixed - Autofarm are good (pricey but good). I take my Cayman to Brookspeed in Eastleigh - VERY good and good value.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

[@fernandoruiz4382]

3.2 a great engine & sound!!!!!!!

[@dylanriley2707]

This is the first time I have ever looked at a 911 Targa (of any generation) with desire rather than disdain. What a beauty! I think it is those gorgeous wide hips and unbelievable paint.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Excellent - we’re glad to have converted you, Dylan

[@alech8336]

:) super stuff guys! Good to see you having fun.

[@ThisIsNotASim]

Jason wins!

[@MWS1960]

Love those cars

[@elBotillo]

Amo los Porsche's de los ochentas 80s . No son los más rápidos pero si se ven espectaculares aún en estos días q hay tantos autos brutales.. ufff si siguen haciendo vídeos con Porsche's y bmws especialmente bimmers e36s se ganan todos mis 👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Me alegro de que le haya gustado el video, Luis. Nosotros también tenemos una pasión por los Porsche 911 de los 80, así que definitivamente haremos más en ellos en el futuro. También veremos los BMW E36.

[@kalkan98]

Great channel Damian and Jason,would be interesting to know how much they pay for these pleasures,i bet they weren't cheap,even if Damian is a millionaire.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks, Chris. There are no cheap 911s any more - the days of the £30k ones are long gone. For a good low mileage late Eighties 3.2 figure £65-85k. Decent Targa SSEs are £70-£75k.

[@8359s]

The Targa is so much nicer.

[@jonathangalloway6796]

Just watching an old video of Jason and yours new Porsches. What happened with your steering wheel?

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I changed it

[@jonathangalloway6796]

@TheCarGuysTV lol early bird gets the worm 🪱. Good reply. Take it you preferred the original one just even though the other wasn't the worse. Has Jason still his 911 I haven't heard or seen it on the channel. Thanks for getting back you legend! 🙏

[@TheCarGuysTV]

@@jonathangalloway6796 Morning, Jonathan. I preferred the original wheel. We both sold our cars to fund other projects. That Supersports Targa though…

[@jonathangalloway6796]

@TheCarGuysTV Good morning my friend yeah your super sport was sick and a rare car especially in targa configuration! But sure you've got the t shirt and now your 993 and GT3 which is a tasty balance! Stay cool my friend and looking forward to your video this evening. Have a great day Rockstar!! 🤙

Absolutely it is, in fact they much prefer it. Jason is daily driving the Targa at this very moment

Hi car guys, which auction was this car bought from?

Kinda stole his thunder there...

[@alastairfaulds8184]

I've been in a couple earlier ones and the interiors were awfully austere, even cheap looking. later cars with leather seats look a lot better. Contemporary Ferrari interiors look a lot more special, have higher quality leather, but don't wear as well.

[@richardsmith4625]

So what is the deal with the changing steering wheel on the targa ?

[@TheCarGuysTV]

What do you think?

[@richardsmith4625]

I don’t know , that’s why I asked

what good vid

Cheers, Max

[@mvdm8988]

Woah you replied!!! i know its not my money and i shouldn't ask but, any chance you could do a cheap 80s - 90s hot hatch vid? $5000 budget, then go on a crazy road trip? it would be pretty epic, but i love your content, keep doing what your doing!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Yes we could absolutely do that - that would be awesome. We need to start our challenges so that might be a good one to start with

[@mvdm8988]

wow can't wait!

[@daveyofave]

The steering wheel changed

[@lucaspatino6313]

Hello guys! I’ve noticed on the video that the targa has a different steering wheel for one clip and another one on the other part of the video?... what’s up with that?

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I hated the non-standard wheel on the Targa, so it was changed immediately.

[@amospizzey1]

I had an 88 3.2 agreed it’s not really a fast car .

[@world_of_porsche1333]

Targa for sale so soon?

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Now sold to make way for the Turbo

[@rodgraff1782]

Bad sign about the oil gauge fluttering. You’d best not keep driving it it until you verify that the oil pressure is not actually fluctuating

Totally. I’ve got a ten year old Porsche and drive the wheels off it, rain, snow, sun. Use it to go to the shops, the rubbish dump, I’ve taken it to the beach and parked it on the beach itself (sprayed it down after). I want a GT4 but no way could ever afford one. If I could I’d drive it exactly the same!

[@Spazza42]

Such a shame these cars have turned out the way they have. They’re not “car guy” cars anymore, or sports cars that can do everything. They’re purely financial investments for middle aged men to invest their life savings or their inheritance into. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Spazza42 Not sure about that - I dint anyone gets a 3.2 Carrera as an investment

[@Spazza42]

TheCarGuys.TV They’re not going to drop in value, you’ll either get your money back or they’ll appreciate. Spending £40k on a 911 is definitely an investment.
