Raj has posted so many pictures, including of documentation, it is hard to choose which ones to post
Given this is the ST thread - not the RS prototype thread - all the pictures except the last one, and one from it's UK rally period, are from that stage of the cars life.

another one subject to a lot of threads on this board
can only be described as a factory race car and test car while an ST
originally a ST, used by the factory as the basis of RSR development in early 1972 culminating as running under Strahle's name but as a factory car in July 1972 Osterreichring 1000Kms.
Used in that race, and private testing the following day overseen by engineer Singer, to test various things including ABS and 2 separate tails see here
Reported as "scrapped" on 25 August 1972 but in reality turned into RS/ RSR 911 360 0002.
Seems to be assigned to press department for at least a period of time until at least March 1973.
seems to be in some photos for FIA group 4 homologation papers still in "Strahle" livery (probably taken in September / October 1972)
Used in early photo RS sessions as the red RSR looking car with white roundels and then apparently turned into "Martini" press car to use for the announcement of Martini sponsorship in March 1973 and used in other publicity shots - see photo of "Martini car" also known as "press car in snow" taken Feb 1973 at the Porsche test track.
At Targa 1973 as T-car 107 and 108 with registration LEO ZA 60 (not sure how long had that registration - maybe for whole life in Press department)
Eventually used as race car 107 at targa due to crash of R8, the intended car #107. Placed 6th OA with Günter Steckkönig / Giulio Pucci.
After targa almost certainly the wind tunnel car in June 1973 testing the Mary Stuart tail before Le Mans that year
no record after that - current existence / whereabouts unknown
Photos
"strahle" car #5 at Osterreichring
one of the experimental tails on "Strahle" car

is it S AK 1336 ie 911 230 0041
Here you go Raj
I had been thinking that as well but had not spotted the padlock
two things to notice
1 the stickers covering where 4 sets of rallye lights would be
2 the creases in the RHS guard just above the horn grills - i think it supports my theory that this is post the accident on the other picture with possibly the stock factory bonnet back on to replace the Strahle one that got bent
I had always wondered where S AK 1336 had gotten to in 1972 after the Monte as the sister car was busy with the Swedish rallye and the Acropolis.
Maybe they were busy testing out / building a RSR track car with Strahle based on the Monte car in addition to the #5 car we have been posting about?????
