I think there are three reasons traders won't release a car for PPI:
1 they think they know best
2 they don't want the bad news
3 they don't want someone else fiddling with their car (much less removing spark plugs and sticking a borescope inside)
Searching for a targa is searching in quite a small pool. I'd try a wanted ad on here and pistonheads, and try and buy a known car from a prominent forum member. That's not to say you wouldn't want a PPI but a private seller may be more compliant.
I think you stilll stand a chance of getting a targa for £15k but when I was looking (not exclusively at targas) 2 years ago, seemingly nice targas were £16-£18k. Good luck.
