Help with Martini Cars

Whilst flirting with whether to sell my 911 Targa or 912 recently I spoke to a few people and some of the more knowledgeable ones like Mark at Rennsport got animated about what a rare model this is as the Cert of Auth shows it being produced with the Sport Pack and Martini rather than it being aftermarket or dealer fit stripes.
Don’t get me wrong I know this model is not particularly special as such, as it is just a Targa with a sport pack and some decals. Based upon my research it is only special in so much as they were only produced by the factory in 1978 and 2436 were made in the European market for the Targa and 2579 in Coupe. Any other year was apparently just an aftermarket decal or dealer option. What intrigues me is that no amount of searching online has uncovered any pictures of a Targa Martini so I’m just curious how rare it actually is and whether any members know of others or indeed any 1978 Coupe Martinis known or in the club.
Any help or further guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Looks very smart Mark ??
Have to say, I knew about the 930 Turbo Martini but just like Richard it is the first time I am seeing an SC Targa Martini like yours.
Let's hope some members can tell us a little more.
Found this on the net but I am guessing you have seen it already (Goodwood Revival)


 
Yes that one is mine just after I got it at the Revival. Since then wheels have been returned to their original colour and I’ve managed to get DVLA to release the original number back to me.Here is a picture I’ve found of my car in the late 70s which is very period. I can only post the link as the photo is on a gallery and the owner gets a bit tetchy apparently if the photo itself gets reproduced online https://www.flickriver.com/photos/lawrence_chard/18281675511/
