Ultimate R thread

No prize for me Ernie. Claudio does not own R16 anymore. He has confirmed the switch for the roof light was to the right of the steering column.

Gled,

What do the engine cases look like? Finned or not?

I don't know it merits a spot here . But here is an interesting article , showing in it , the Almeras Frères interpretation of a 911R (car 120 at bottom of top photo on first page , and in photos on the pages below) . It is an article showing / speaking about their 1969 team. ( I believe this is 1969 ?).

I said the 'merit a spot & interpretation' bit , because knowing the Almeras Bro.'s penchant / ability to get the parts and build their own cars. I do not know if it was a factory chassis to start ..or something they built up. Maybe someone who sees this will know . I have never taken the time to translate the whole article to see if it is spoken of / any clues given...just bits of it once in a while when it catches my fancy.

And notice , not the normal 911R rear flair.

* I just looked harder ....no wing windows & no plexi pieces to replace them , (or do I believe plexi rear Qtr. windows) . It would seem to be a LWB chassis.

I know, this was a long time ago, but anyway, the article states that the Almeras Brothers R was made from a 911 T body, with a Carrera 6 engine.

Edit: This was already written in the thread... Sorry.

Frankly 928cs, do you realy think that this is #016R ?

I have spend some time reading the discussion about this car on Autodiva and can only agree that there certainly was an "identity" swap between #016R and an unknown donor 911 after the crash at the Rallye de l'Hérault 1971.
For me, the real #016R is dead since March 1971.

By the way, thank you very much for your work.

more pictures of that car.

112 is the number of the car during the hillclimb of Lodève, in 1972.

Thank you for the pictures.
