Hi Lorenzo. That is a great find
there is very little information on line about the entries for the Paris races at that time
is there any way that you could post a photo of the entry list containing the Porsches in the race that includes the race numbers and drivers so that I / we can match up photos with the identity of the cars

Here it is, ciao!

If you would like to know who "Lee Banner" was:

Also, it's indicated that only the 22 fatest groupe 4/5/6/7 cars of the trials will actually race.

Brumos Porsche Car Corporation vintage branded ring binder. Contains August 1964 dated Brumos branded letterhead to the covering memo and roughly two inches of pages containing porsche parts list . Tobacco colour binder cover has Brumos brand (not the usual Brumos red blue white so maybe before they adopted those well known colours). Not the usual Porsche maroon one either. The main content are pages listing porsche parts each with retail price; some have been hand annotated to update prices suggesting this folder was a working copy used around this time by the dealership:




I’m no expert on earliest 911 912 or their spare parts but didn’t production of the then new 911 start after the August factory shutdown that same year ?

Question to those folks who track such things: Did Brumos Porsche Car Corporation sell (m)any of the very early 911 or 912 in mid sixties ?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I suppose it also serves to show an item of literature if I post it here.

Is this for model year 1971? It is in English and the author spells words like colour and litres correctly so perhaps for British and the English speaking rest of world markets ? VW-Porsche not P+A USA . Think the 69 70 weltmeister logo on front suggests it post-dates the 70 race season results. I’m more familiar with the Porsche print ref format used circa 72/3 but the small print on back might have a print date embedded — perhaps 1070 is October 1970 ?


Too early for my model 73 car but it’s a nice colour brochure large format ( A4 size?); unlike the later similar luxury brochures of 72/3 the tech spec data pages are integral and glossy rather than a loose insert.

Expect resident brochure weltmeister Karim and some others will know.

Official entry blank booklet with all the information to sign up (genuine survivor not filled in — not a photocopy) for the 24 hr of Daytona held early Feb 73. Not a programme or poster it is example of multi page “official entry blank” paperwork completed to register race entrants I suppose. Haven’t looked through it in years but it is stapled packet to form booklet with iirc rules, the blank proforma for team manger to register and so forth:
Attachment 613097

Landmark overall race win for the new 73 Carrera RS in M491 form early outing several months with Brumos before 73 Carrera RS achieved homologation certification in April of that year. Significant because overall win for a 911 based racer rather than the specialised racer vindicating the RS homologation focus in response to coming FiA rule changes.

A number of teams, marques entrants ran but I wonder how many of these official entry blanks are extant? With under twenty finishers and maybe triple number that entrant for did not darts, non-finishers ets I wonder how many copies of this official entry blank set were printed on the first place? Wonder if Porsche factory archives (or Brumos) even have one of these packs among their papers on file for the historically significant win at the first round of that year’s world championship of makes

Limited edition RS 40th anniversary oil filter from 2012:



Since I have one of the 500 first series cars apt to have one of just 500 that Mann made specifically for the 40th birthday of 73 RS. It was neat that Mann made the effort beyond the cheap self-adhesive label on the carton to print “Der Porsche Carrera RS: Nur 500 Männer werden ihn fahren” slogan on the metal

Why is it 500: it picks-up the original advertising slogan around the 73 RS launch when there were only 500 examples of the 911.744 to be made that were independently certified as meeting the 900kg target for FIA group 4 homologation:


Why is it Orange / Red not Mann black : The orange red harks back to the Purolator PC214 as used by Porsche as seen here in the original rare 73 RS brochure:


It is not clear why the purolator oil filters canister used for Porsche for many years were finished in that orange/red colour back in the day. Purolator branding on the cardboard cartons and sales materials in the aftermarket was typically white with red & blue as seen in this catalogue from 73

Sane colours as the carton of a nos survivor from the nineties — from 71 to early nineties (at least based on the applications list having 959):

The metal case in this example is marked Purolator and finished the orange/ red as expected


Why is this RS anniversary edition branded Mann, not Purolator ?
“In 2006, Arvin, then known as Arvin Meritor, sold the Purolator Filters business to a joint venture of European filter manufacturers Mann+Hummel and Bosch. Mann+Hummel bought out Bosch's 50% share of their joint venture in Purolator Filters in 2013 taking full ownership of Purolator and renaming it MANN+HUMMEL Purolator Filters”. It would appear Mann used the anniversary to associate themselves with the RS by making a limited edition of 500 but for some marketing reason chose not to use the Purolator brand they part owned and were soon to fully own.

Not looked to see which company might make the examples now being sold by Porsche classic— is it marked secretly or even a country hint— perhaps it’s Mann?

For old times sake, purchased a few factory posters for the new garage at Rm Sotheby’s White Collection online… always loved the Stringer design. 👍😍

Thanks that one in link is German mine is English language. I might dig mine out post it for sale in relevant section as probably better with a very late 70 or more likely 71 or an early 72 than gathering dust on my shelf. The price guide in link for a German language version of $200 is a useful guide. The use of the “sticker” logo is on front cover dates publication printing after they knew they were champions of 1970. From discussion elsewhere a different large format brochure with the rear of an ivory coloured 911 E on cover came out sometime in 72 with airbrushed details like grill in black. So even without date this “brackets” the time window for this English and German version? Literature experts like Karim perhaps more accurately can date the “Concept” one but suspect the 1070 in the small print reference in reverse is an embedded print-date soon after the start of model year 71 production? “VW -PORSCHE VERTRIEBSGESELLSCHAFT MBH • 7 S
W 3e-013-1070-0704 - Printed in Germany • Subject to change without notice“ Used by VW-Porsche the 50:50 owned sales and marketing joint venture in English speaking so called ROW markets until brochure was superseded by the one with ivory 911 E ?
