    This might be the Frankfurt show stand 1963. Car partially obscured by the vistors but gives a wider view of the stand:

    Frankfurt is great show. Fond memories of being part of the senior executive team when we did launches, concept cars etc for a different marque there and at other international motorshows several decades later.

    As 13326 is moving along, I also do have to update the 13325 IAA car.

    One of the major points of distinction seems to be the interior.
    On quite some pics, the interior fabric of 13325 can be seen: it is not a pepita, but a "Glencheck" fabric.
    The Glencheck is on the front seats, the rear seats are "dark", seemingly black vinyl covered.
    On the known pics of the Geneva show we do have 13326 with a pepita interior, front and rear.

    I do have some pictures of the Frankfurt exhibition, showing 13325 from many angles, and also with opened door.

    out of curiosity I had some pics coloured.
    It is still unclear, if 13325 has a champagne yellow color, or any else "Sonderfarbe Gelb"

    enjoy

    As assumed in the Quickblau 13326 thread
    https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...02#post1152802
    the IAA 13325 did have a different door opening mechanism.

    From the Quickblau pictures we do know the opening mechanism has been integrated in the armrest and a bulky wedged shape can be seem under it.

    Not here with 13325 - we do see some sort of handle in the middle of the door panel just above the passengers armrest. some sort of „pull latch“ on a round plate…
    The position of the window crank stays in the front at its usual place.

    Claudius had been so kind and marked the positions - thank you for this.

    enjoy

    the more I look at the color charts, I still think
    13325
    had been painted in Condor Yellow and not Champagne…
