W171 Edition of Sports Purposes Manual???

[bob tilton]

I understand W351E is the 911 911L 911T 911S Edition. Are there other SWB editions?

What is the 911S 914/6 1970 Edition Number?

What is the W171EWE edition?

Is there an edition for each model year 65-73?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello: The number I have on the cover is 4890.20-200-03-72. This the 2nd edition for cars from 1970. I do have some copies if you need one. Thanks Eric

Thanks for the kind offer Eric but thanks to some kind people like yourself I have both the editions I mentioned.
Someone recently asked me about this W171 edition which so I began to question how many versions have been published. I assumed there were just the two, W351 and 4890.20-200-03-72.
Are there other editions?

Bob: Porsche did put out some other sports manuals. The last one I saw was for the 993 RSR. I know they made one for the 911R as well since I have a copy of that. I also have a part copy of the manual for the 911scrs as well. I think when they had a new race car manuals in the later years that they brought out to help the new owners. Hope this helps some. Thanks Eric

Thanks Eric!
Anyone have any info on the W171? Looking for any contribution to help get a future article written on a very cool old car.

Bob, Eric made reference to W329 for the 911R. It's original pub date was Aug 1967 with the english translation coming in Jan 1977.
