Nearly lost Euro 911 L - he survived, the barn didn’t!

...meaning KPZ wheels?!

Just rebuild the first bunch of parts that came with the car.
Front and rear suspension.
All the parts (except the front subframe) have been powder coated in satin black.

Attachment 512705

There were 3 rear swing arms.
Only one had the articulated joint for the rear sway bar attachment.
I assume this is the only original rear trailing arm.

You must remember the euro spec 911L was considered the be the 911 normal for 1968 in Europe. Unlike the USA version that was to replace the 911S having all 911S parts except the engine. I think the Euro 911L only had the front anti sway bars and not the back ones as my 68 Euro 911L has as standard. Maybe that is why you have several trailing arms as the previous owner was trying to put on trailing arms with the anchors for anti sway bars. Does your 911L come with ventilated brakes? Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, that was my main question: was the Euro version the same specs as an S ? Like the US version?
It is not easy to find sources about this subject.

Regarding the brakes, as I said before, they are amongst many parts of the car I still have to collect. Car was just part out because the owner, at the time of the flood, quit restoring the car.
I still don’t know what I will manage to find.
Luckily, I have been buying for the last years, many SWB parts because of other projects I had, and I will use them on this project.

I thought, by 68, it was the T considered the normal...

What about the brakes on your car? Are they vented?

Don't give up on the red interior, will look good with the gray.

Thanks for your comments!
On Kardex, it is not specified the engine type but after some research I believe the first Euro versions had 901/06 engines, same as 901/05 with improved cams and heat exchangers.

Yes, I already decided to keep the red interior!
