    some street pics,
    already with license plate S TC-1,
    front and rear.
    the side view was in the same batch, but not sure it can be assigned to 13325.
    all assumed to be near factory.



    enjoy

    Note; the heater tubing at the front of the engine compartment coming from over the clutch area going into the side rails. New photo with so much evidence of what had yet to be designed or yet to be revised. Definitely a work in progress.

    what do you think that "17" sticker is by the mirror on the front windshield?
    and does anyone know what color it was?

    Fabulous early pics. Two questions. Does anyone have pics of early 911s at the London Motor Show in, say, 1963, 64 or 65? Second, any good pics of the exhaust configuration on these early cars? Many thanks, Robert

    Great info! When you see the hard life these prototypes had and the fact that most of them were destroyed or re-used it's a miracle that 13327 survived.
