    Thanks Chuck - the Al Holbert colours certainly look very close although it would seem they were mostly applied to 74+ cars.

    Those rims are also unusual?

    I've seen different variations of the Al Holbert 934 RSR livery. The front fenders on your car look like this version of the livery, same red/blue/yellow stripe sequence over the wheel arches and then yellow for main fender panel.

    But again I haven't seen it on the earlier longhood cars.

    Spent most of yesterday evening scanning 196 pages of the Early S thread on Random Porsche Racing Pics: http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...he-Racing-Pics

    Excellent thread, but my head is now aching, Mrs G believes i have a medical condition and unfortunately I still haven't spotted my 72 racing colours
