    Unusual front spoiler on a factory 72S

    Im no specialist in 72 front spoiler design but when I received this photo below, its unusual spoiler design caught my eye.

    Looks like its at a car show, it looks factory and what is a 72S.
    Is it a pre-serie or prototype design ? It still has a round Durant mirror. Or is it a 2.2S ?



    Here is a front spoiler on a pre-serie 72S. Note also the unpainted wheels.

    And here the production version on a factory 72S.

    That is a SWB car in first photo.

    Rear view mirror, horn grills

    Can't tell if vent windows open or not.

    Strange looking

    That was a fast reply, thx.
    So its period homemade ? For a moment i was doubting its interior mirror as being silver, you are now right.
    I guess I was looking at that spoiler, forgetting everything else around. strange shape.

    That was a lovely 2,0S I almost bought in Zurich 13 years ago:

    I have wondered about the front spoiler seen in Porsches own film (post #16):

    Thx Anatol and Tomlin for the link. So there are variations on the front spoiler, either factory or homemade.
