Euro delivery 1967 911S - tell tale signs?

[keithpjolley]

The other day someone pulled up next to my 1967 911S, got out of his car and told his passenger "That's a European delivery '67 911S." He was correct but I didn't get a chance to talk to him and I'd like to know what he saw that made him say that. The obvious answer, to me, would be the tail-lights but the car has US type tail lights. What else could he have seen with only a glance at the rear and driver's side exterior to make this claim?

One tell-tail to a very discriminating observer might be a hole near the bend in the lower section of the rear bumpers. My understanding is that these were drilled in some of the euro cars for small side reflectors. I am very much not sure about this and am only speculating, but I have seen two such cars 1967 cars. Does your car have these holes?

What about headlights or bumper over riders?

Don't discount a lucky guess.

Lucky guess gets my vote too. Remember it is pointed out that the person got a look only at the rear and partial drivers side. Thus, anything in the front (mentioned above) could not have been the clue(s). How brief was the look, and what perspectives were revealed? If the person had a look at the front and the dash, then yes, there would have been some of the clues mentioned above.

Or someone spouting nonsense to impress someone (a young lady?) and being right by coincidence.

Could be. I once told a girl I was the original drummer for Flock of Seagulls.
