    1970 911s lightweight

    we bought last year a 1970 911s that was modified into a plastic -bondo slant nose ,we bought it base on photos ,genuine 911s with recaros
    after taking the car apart we found all the features of the 911s lightweight,no ashtray,no heater tubes,no conduits for trunk and engine lid,plates
    for rollbar mounting,no undercoating,gas heater etc etc we also measure roof skin and it is thinner than all other 911 we have,one door had been replaced
    but the drivers door is original and it has all the mounting for lightweight pull strap and handles
    on the Kardex it do not state 470 and this only information so far
    we would like to share photos ,infos with similar car,original color is silver and the car is in Canada since early eighties

    sales brochure

    i got the sales brochure in 1973 when i bought a 1970 911e in Montréal,the seller still had it in the car,i did not pay attention to it until last year
    when we bought the 911s 1970 lightweight,it took some time to have an official confirmation .I owned and restored quite a few special 911 racer;
    ex Bienvenue 1968 911s,and 1972 911s ,ex Heimrath 2.5 s etc but this homologation 911s is the rarest of all according to experts between 6 and 8 made
    .Factory confirmed 41 lightweight ,some converted wide body for road race,some for rallye and the rest as street version to prove FIA that they really
    built and sold cars to the 930 kg specs, i have seen photos of white,red,tangerine,our is silver and it is probably the only one of that color
    the car had some rust(no Under coating) but i have seen a lot worse .It is amazing how a car like that had been under radar for all those years,
    hidden under an ugly slant nose body kit and even uglier interior.Car had been in Canada,with the same owner for 25 years.
    we are still missing the period when it left Factory until shipped to Canada.No mention anywhere of first Handler,some experts said that on car
    of this type they might have keep it as spare for works car,executives,driver ,factory friends and sell it as used car for fiscal depreciation
    if somebody has a way in Germany to trace former owner with vin,let me know
    we will start posting detailed photos of restoration work

    This is a french market sales literature (including dealer stamps), and yes, the 1970 911S "version standard" is there.
    If you ordered a fully equipped 911S Coupe or Targa, it was then called "+ Equipement M".
    (Looks like the standard 911S was therefore available only in Coupe form.)

    I know this 1970 literature exists also in Italian, German and english (for UK/AUS ?) language, so at least now we do know it was (partly) a RoW market car.

    Note that four models available: 911T, 911E, 911S standard, 911S +M:
    1970 911S "version standard" / "Grundausstattung" vs. "+ Equipement M" / special order "Sonderausstattung mit E-Ausstattung":
    -930kg vs. 1020kg.
    -7.2 vs. 7.5 sec
    -100l tank vs. 62lt.
    -Dunlop Racing / 5.00 M 15 R 7






    Same as Karim this one in german language

    We should add Olivier Rivard's thread here on the discovery and restoration of his 70S lightweight.

    Saw this Instagram post and thought of this thread. These look like period photos (summer 1970 is caption). I wonder if this could be an example of this thread's subject.
    It is unusual to see street legal cars without bumper trim like this, and if it was a Sports Purpose car, it would not have had the overrides.
    I'll give that the car seems very optioned out (two sets of lights) which would seem to counteract a lightweight ethos.
