Introducing 9113300092 and myself..

Wow, visually striking! Welcome to the S Reg. Great first post.

Hi JL, my name is Jens (pronounced- "Yence"). What's yours?

Hi Jens, my name is Jean-Luc, I am of French origin. I was born there but have been living in RSA for over 20 years.. Thanks for the welcome.

Congratulations on your new purchase! Please keep us updated. Looks like you've got a good starting point. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need any "virtual" help with setting her straight.

Kent (and your car's younger sister 9113300306)

Hi Kent (And everyone), thanks for the kind words. I will definitely use the huge knowledge of the group when it comes to making the car "right".

Hi Long Ranger,

That was one of the things I thought someone could clear up. the information provided by porsche SA, mentions the dealership as UA, culver City, CA. Nothing else. I can only imagine that UA would refer to the name of some Porsche dealer. Tried to do a search on the net, but came out empty handed.

[JLDAMIANS]

I'm thinkiing that should be read as Sept 1, 1972.

Yes, it is 01 September 1972, sorry we use a different date format on this side..

Hi There Jean Luc
Greeting from 30miles away in Pretoria. You found the best forum on the web.
Where did you buy the car.

Hi Leon,

I have a feeling that we might have met, through my other hobby/passion cycling??

I bought the car through John Abbot, he facilitated the deal. Actually, come to thing of it I bought all my previous cars through him. we should get in touch sometimes.

Great looking car. My 68 911L was ordered from the factory with driver side only sport seat as well. Welcome Chris

Hmm

Well, first off --- I have no listing for a dealer in Culver City for 1972. There was a Culver City dealer --- Competition Motors . . . but that outfit closed the year before

However . . . I do have a listing for a distributor there, in '72 --- Volkswagen Pacific, Inc. Does your information from Porsche include an address? That would help

As for what the 'UA' stands for . . . you might ask your source at Porsche for a definition. It may not be for a dealer

PS More pictures of your car, please!

Nice find Jean-Luc. It will look great when you return it to it's original sepia brown (and complementary interior).

Welcome Jean-Luc,

I too have a younger sister to your car, 9113300854, soon to be back to light ivory. Painted at east 3 different colours between the original light ivory and the black she has had since 1989. Looking forward to your story.
