Hard to see due to the grain-- but it looks like no cutouts in the bumper for fog lamps (proto)-- impossible to see gas door.
The one thing that kind of throws it off are the bumper overriders.
1966 911 #304065 Irischgruen
The wedding date would be useful to help deduce the model year.

I think it has been recorded that one of the prototypes was used for a wedding ceremony. Not sure these are photographs from that particular wedding, as I thought the 901 prototypes has no side deco trims (?).
The Wagner wedding date was July 24, 1964.
Looking up the published photos of the prototype cars and license plates does not give us any clue as to the serial number of this car.
Given the early date and car color it is just a guess that it was #6, known at the factory as "Quick Blue". That would have been serial number 13 326. (Again, that is just a guess). The early photos of #6 shows it had the front bumper-ettes, was blue, and was one of the two demonstrator cars (#5 and #6) that were used by demonstrator/salesmen Dieter Lenz and Hans Klink under director of domestic sales Harald Wagner in the summer of 1964.
#6 was bought by Ferdinand Piech September 1965 and December 30, 1965 by Hans Mezger, two major players in the engine development of the 6 cylinder engine.

Did 13 325 (#5) also have a nickname? It was painted some version of yellow I believe.

13 325 did not have a nickname. Yellow car. License plate #S-TC 1. It is the one in the period photos and video at full tilt on the skid pad....whoo hoo...side slip.
