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
Very interesting. Please post more information and photos when you can.

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
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.
