1966 912. My first car. Bought it Nov. 25, 1988. Still have it.
Since when? Is this an official designation from Porsche? Or just T owners trying to make their cars sound better than they actually are (and no offense, I own a couple T's myself). Kinda like the '66 cars built in '65 that people try to pass off as '65's?Originally Posted by jt912
It applies for the 2.4's ie 72 and 73 models
they were made in both carb and MFI versions - the carb ones mainly went to Europe and none went to the USA due to not meeting pollution restrictions and the MFI ones mainly went to the US and were called US models
Usually it is the carb ones that have the extra designation - TV for Vergaser or carburetor but you do see TE (for Einspritzung ) on designations from time to time especially in markets like Australia where we got both types. I suppose in Europe which mostly got the carb cars people would tend to designate an injection car differently and us the TE. One of the problems with using the TE is that the E can also be confused with the series ie E for 1972 and F for 1973 - so you occasionally see a 1972 carb T advertised as 911 TV - E.... very confusing
they are distinct models with separate differentiating chassis and engine number series and engine shroud colors
the MFI T's from 73 are 911 310 xxxx and the TV's are 911 350 xxxx

The E is for Enspritz - german for injection, technically the T/E were the MFI T's not the CIS models

Maybe he has a Kardex or COA that states 911 T/E.I think it was his abbreviated way of saying he has a '73.5 with CIS.

Exactly... I've noticed when surfing Euro porsche sites they tend to call things more precisely than we do... You always read T5, T6 for 356s when we just use years... Same with the 911s... Euro Ts or that era were carburated. US ones had Fuel injection. From a a european standpoint this is a great way to make a distinction - the world does not just revolve around us in the US ;-)
My 72 vin plate says T / E,

That letter reference mentioned above indicates the production 'series' of the particular car
MY 1970 = C series aka 'program'
MY 1971 = D
MY 1972 = E
. . . usw
Prolly a better way to distinguish different models than 'model year.' (My hunch is that this might be at the root of some of the different production numbers that get quoted from different sources)
Also --- MY 1974 = 'G'
OOPs... My bad on the vin plate then. That said I've seen it referenced as T/E elsewhere in my documentation for the car... with the E for Enspritz... Gotta look...

So,
a T is just a T
Just two for T's
and T's for two...
raise a family of S/T's...
I bought a new 73.5T in Oct 73 it PA. Vin was 9113103090. Wish I still had it!
It was similar in color, but it had the S spoiler in front, black trim on the front and rear taillights, black trim on the deck lid, had the larger front and rear all black bumperettes, no passenger rear view mirror, was a CIS car. Surprising the big difference in trim since mine was only 16 cars newer if this car is somewhat original.
Now have a 74 of same color.
