what a great photo!
looking at the cars and what I an read of the comments it looks as this (bottom photo) was the press launch for the 1970 Monte rallye team. Interestingly, going by the registration numbers (and i dont think that they have been switched) the 911 is the 1968 Marathon car #30 119300003 which looks like it had been taken over by the Press department by this time and the 914/6 is the press demonstrator #11 which is now in the USA

What race are these pictures from?
I suppose this was somewhere in the south of France, right?

Is the first car pictured a RS 2.7?
The registration was issued around december 1973.
