Correct Red Horns

[BOYER73S]

Now comes some more confusion and a question.. I just looked at 1973 E, production 1189 of 1366. Would indicate to me later production. Original 48,000 mi car and it has banjo style horns. Original to the car for sure.. Thoughts??

Its the usual...there are no absolutes with Porsche....others have said the same in many previous threads on this subject.

From Jan 73 onwards the most prevelant were the long red horns with the new brackets not the banjo style thats as definitive as it gets.

Do you mean when did the banjo style replace the snail style or are you asking when did red trumpets replace banjo style

In my 73S I have those under n.5 ... that's what I call "snails"

My 73S has snails also. They look original. The car is Italian.

In the Remark section it states (CH) (Switzerland) for those snails. Perhaps they made their way onto Italian cars too.

Mine is Italian too, the Swiss connection might be an explanation ...

I seem to remember in a thread on this a long time ago that Robert Gross said Italian cars were different to ROW

My Feb 73 S has red trumpets. Look to be original Robert thought. I saw a Swiss origin 73S in Robert's shop on Friday that had black snails. It was only a couple of dozen VIN numbers ahead of mine. So it seems to be country specific.

Snails as well in my (Italian) RS.
