Sold 348 Targa Top in original condition

Hi,
I bought this 348 targa top, thinking it will fit my F355.
It doesn't (It could fit if swapping the rubbers, but I prefered to find a 355 roof and that's what I did).
So, now I'm offering this 348 targa top for sale.
Few minor blemishes but overall condition is very good.
Latches are the late model (same as 355 ones).

Asking 2800€ + shipping.

I have no idea about its age. I bought it this year.
I don't know what do you mean by "rubber liners" but as you can see on pics it is complete with all its rubber parts ready to fit on your 348.

I have to double check dimensions after packing, but if those are correct, shipping to Australia should be around €350- €400.

 

@Actualiser,
I gave you a shipping quote, both here and in private message.
Let me know if still interested.
Thank you.

Actualiser, I’m still waiting your offer…

 

All right.
Let me know if you change your mind later.
It might still be available as I have not received any offers yet and I'm not in a rush.

 

I guess it could be done.
I didn't want to alter the rubbers of this 348 targa so I searched a 355 one instead.
If I hadn't find one, I would have certainly try.


There is some metal parts in the rubbers at the back that are too long and prevent the targa to seat correctly on a 355. They're touching the B pillars.
(it left a mark on mines after my try to fit the roof on the car)

Sorry no pictures as I don't want to try again and damage my b-pillar covers any more.
Trust me it can't be fitted as it is.
It might be possible by altering the end of the rubber supports, but I didn't try.
Best way would be to order 355 rubbers and support, I'm pretty sure they would fit as the roof panel seems identical between 348 and 355.

 

There is two types of latches.
First type are leather.
Seconds are metal (same as 355). Mines are same as 355.
I don't think there is any major differences in front of panel as some 348 guys could fit a 355 roof on their car.
For me the most obvious difference is in the side rubbers.

 

I forgot: there is a minor difference on the roof panel at the front of the latches, but nothing that prevent 348 owners to fit a 355 roof as some members did here.

355 targa over 348 targa

This is the only difference I noticed on the roof panel.
Again, big differences are in the rubbers and rubber mounts.

 

No problem
To be clear, I'm selling this 348 roof for a 348.
I just said it should fit a 355 if fitted with 355 rubbers seals. It should, not it would: no warranties. It is at buyer risk.

I tried to fit it on my 355 and rear end of the rubbers supports were blocked by the B-pillar so I couldn't lock both latches because of that and I made a mark in my pillars so no I won't try again with those rubbers.
Ideally I should remove the rubber metal mounts to try again, but they're riveted and I don't want to do this on a perfectly functionnal 348 targa.

I prefer to sell this top for a 348 owners. I'm sure one of them with a painted roof will looking for a stock targa some day

PS: and you're right, at least one owner of a 348 fitted a 355 roof on his 348 here just by cutting a piece of rubber in front, that's why I think the roof panel is the same shape. It is just a side rubber problem in my opinion.
