Was this an original lightweight and non of those books are original despite being advertised that they are and what’s with the badge in the ducktail I thought no cars were ever delivered with that badge but all with decals
This was a M472 and M409 car, so Touring with sport seats.
The rear badge was used only on RS 2.7 without ducktail.

Bought new through Sonauto this Porsche 2.7 RS was delivered to its first owner in January 1973, a French industrialist from Avignon. She later sold the car to a professor of medicine. In 1984 it was property of Lucien François Bernard, co-founder and for several years the president of the Porsche 356 Club in France. During 1990 Jean Claude Miloé, a gentleman driver since the end of the 80's and Porsche collector and enthusiast well known in the world of vintage cars, bought this car at Sonauto.
This 2.7 RS is a matching numbers car that corresponds to its factory specifications as referenced in factory documents and also the book 'Carrera RS' by Gruber and Konradsheim. Built as 472 touring model. As one of the first 500 examples built with thin steel body panels.
This car has never been raced in any type of competition. However it experienced the thrills of speed participating in regularity rallies such as Coupe des Alpes, Maroc Classis, Tour de Auto and various road trips.

The numbers may "correspond" to it's factory specifications but the numbers on the engine are a new stamping and not a good one either. The pad boss is cut. Of note is that there is not ONE photo of the engine number in the ad.

Here is a known "REAL" RS engine number. HughH compared them which makes it easier to see the shenanigans.
I have two really good matching cars. They do not need restoration but maybe you can do some detailing Http://www.Porsport.comQuote:

I haven't checked what type of font Porsche used for the engines in like 3.0 Carrera's or even SC's or other types but would not be surprised if those are the same. Can't be a coincidence that that particulair font is used by anyone else than Porsche on quiete some engines.

This 2.7 Carrera RS ‘Lightweight’
Chassis no. 911 360 0365 is the 50th of only 200 factory built 911 2.7 Carrera RS’ specified with option M471 ‘Lightweight’. The car presented here completed production in January 1973 and was originally finished in Light Yellow ‘6262’, the same colour we see today. The car was also specified from new with a limited-slip differential, engine compartment life, and interestingly an electric sliding roof. According to Carrera RS by Thomas Gruber and Georg Konradsheim this is the first of only three ‘Lightweights’ optioned with an electric sliding roof – ideal considering it is nearly 30kg lighter than air conditioning!
In June 1993 this 911 was registered in the UK, with license ‘FTM 445L’ and owned by Mr Paul Grist, a collector and restorer. DK Engineering then sold the car to Nito Auto Engineering in Japan. Naito Auto Engineering was founded in 1953 and maintained ownership of this ‘Lightweight’ until early 2019, having also restored the car during their tenure. Pictures form the restoration are included in the cars history file, and show the car being stripped back to a bare shell before being repainted. Also within the history file are various Japanese maintenance records, showing the mileage in 1995 as 22,099 km, through to 29,000 km in 2000.
Upon arrival in England in late 2019, Girardo & Co. immediately sent the car to classic Porsche 911 specialists, Autofarm, for an inspection and major service. The inspection report is on file, with the major service including replacement of the engine oil and filter, air filter, spark plugs, contact breaker points, fuel filter, brake fluid and gearbox oil. The engine was also tuned with the head studs and valve clearances being checked.
Offered in great condition and fresh from a major service, and being one of only 200 ‘Lightweight’ specification 2.7 RS’, this 911 is fast, beautiful and offers a rare opportunity to add one of the most iconic 1970’s sports cars to your collection.
