Where are all these 2.4 S now? Here are some stats.

The car hasn't been to Ireland yet. I imported from SF autumn 2012. I bought from dealer that acquired from beneficiary of owners estate. Hence address matching estate with early 1970s documents in glove box. My wife is Irish & so ultimately she owns all my worldly goods so you data isn't wrong, it's aware of the way the world works!

I wrote in the April 1993 issue of the Esses, Vol 3 #2, a short piece on import numbers to the US. 1972, 332 S models imported. 15% of all S production. 1973, 524 S models imported. 22% of all S production.

I have owned four 2.4 S cars all here in Wy. My current 2.4 is Italian spec from Varese, IT. Delcar was the dealer. #310 with engine #518 I have the complete history from day one.

Thanks Steve, I was not aware of that. Now, it seems that the current situation in the US is more or less mirroring the original deliveries (proportionally more 73 than 72). On the balance USA/ROW, I guess my data are heavily biased by the fact that it is easier to gather infos on US cars than elsewhere. I think that data for Belgium, Germany and Italy are underestimated in my graphs.

I must have a crystal ball somewhere

My vin number is 9112301576 if it helps. I have had it for four years. I know it started as Gemini Blue according to the COA, but I like the color it is.

In case you don't have it, 9113300021 was sold in US but now resides in UK.

Hi Ant, do you have a production date for your car?
Thanks.

This is absolutely anecdotal and personal observation. Other than US spec cars the most ROW cars I have seen advertised or written about here in the US from one country, is Italy. This is just from being in the hobby for a long time. Oddly I have the sense of very few German S cars. Yet, if you look in the dealer booklet from the period Germany had the largest number of dealers with Italy second. Does not mean anything but it is what I have seen. Somehow a fair number of Italian cars made it to the States.

Hi,

I personally imported a 1972 911S from Nevada, USA to Australia about 6 years, Vin number 9112301384. I am currently in the process of restoring it, the previous owner had it painted Polo Red, I am returning it to its original metallic Gold colour. I have just started so its going to be a bit of a project but definitely worth it in the end. Below is a link if you are interested or want further info.
