Frazer Nash archives do exist - http://frazernasharchives.co.uk/, however there is literally no point sending your enquiry as they are not really manned and a manual conversation method is always preferred. Luckily I also own a 1935 Frazer Nash TT, awaiting some information on my own RHD car 300882 and will enquire about Earls Court at the same time.

Nice picture Steve. Anything in your archive on the 1965 Motor Show? Would be great to see if so!
These period photos are great!
No I've looked for you Robert
Many thanks Steve - me too. The info seems strangely elusive!
Hi Robert,
I've looked too, but I can't find anything for 1965. I found a Pathé News clip for the 1966 motor show (in colour!) The 911 is white with black interior.
Someone posted this (Dec 6, 2019) - but i didn't save the source of the info - in reference to the Type change from "901" to "911 in October/November 10, 1964.
As a side note there had been 82 cars assembled prior to Nov 10 but this tally only talks to 13 of those cars having been allocated to customers/other departments and the show cars.
Die Variante vier wurde von Raether präferiert und als dringende Lösung vorgeschlagen, da die Auslieferung der Fahrzeuge keinen Aufschub mehr haben sollte. Als die Botschaft von Peugeot kam, wurden die Arbeiten wie z.B. Druck der Prospekte unterbrochen, ebenso die Auslieferung der Fahrzeuge. Wann genau diese Angabe kam, ist nicht dokumentiert. Es muss sich also zwischen 13. Und 20.10.1964 ergeben haben. Eher wahrscheinlich, dass es direkt nach dem 13.10.1964 vollzogen wurde. Die Auslieferung der Wagen wurde bis spätestens den 9.11.1964 aufgeschoben. Dies bestätigt sich durch die Kardexkarten der ersten 911, die fast alle mit dem Auslieferungsdatum 11.11.1964 beginnen. Dies betrifft die Auslieferung vom Werk, nicht die Abnahme des Wagens von dem Kunden von dem entsprechenden Händler.
Folgende Fahrzeuge wurden vor dem Stichtag 10.11.1964 vom Werk ausgeliefert:
300001
19.10.1964 werkseigen/Versuch
300002
19.10.1964 werkseigen/Versuch

The variant four was preferred by Raether and proposed as an urgent solution, since the delivery of the vehicles should have no more delay. When the message came from Peugeot, works such as Printing of the brochures interrupted, as well as the delivery of the vehicles. When exactly this information came is not documented. It must have been between 13. and 20.10.1964. Rather likely that it was done immediately after the 13.10.1964. The delivery of the car was deferred until 9.11.1964 at the latest. This is confirmed by the Kardex cards of the first 911, which almost all begin with the delivery date 11.11.1964. This concerns the delivery from the factory, not the acceptance of the wagon by the customer from the respective dealer.
The following vehicles were delivered by the factory before the deadline 10.11.1964:
300001 19/10/1964 werkseigen / trial
300002 19/10/1964 werkseigen / trial
300003 19.10.1964 factory / Ferry Porsche
300005 20.10.1964 Sale in the house, press department
On 31.3.1965 to Fa. K. Wallrabenstein
300006 19/10/1964 werkseigen / Tomala
300007 19.10.1964 Acceptance report, thus acceptance of the
Customers, refers to 23.11.1964; went to Porsche Salzburg
300009 19.10.1964 factory / Lenz
300010 19/10/1964 werkseigen / Klink

Thx Bob, never read this before, very very detailed info.
It doesnt come from Aichele‘s book but could be coming from „Porsche 356 / Made by Reutter - Frank Jung, a book i dont have. Since 356 production was going on while the 901 was starting, he might describe it. Jung himself is related to the Reutter family and also, now Head of Porsche Archive.
