Well, I guess that by referring to the designation, than any misunderstanding related to construction year / model year, etc can be avoided

Oh, yes. I do see its advantages. It was just an observation.

I think the confusion came from the use of abbreviations here. S/R can sometimes stand for "sunroof". Then there is the S/T racing model. So S/F was a little confusing. If you had said F series 911S we would have understood right away.

My white car is a 911 R/B.:D

Hahaha. :D

R/b 1 - s/f 0 ;)

Interesting. And I'm trying to track down some previous owners, as well

Also interesting --- thank you for that explanation

Looks like you have a wonderful car. Try to post some more 'travel' pics, if you can. I've never been to Italy --- it'd be fun to see where you take your car when you drive, over there

Rick, actually I've never driven it in Italy yet because I live abroad ... maybe in the future :rolleyes:
I have seen your gallery ... nice one you have ... I might be biased but I love Euro specs :D

Nice pic Ric!

The Italian Alps, and all the Alps, is what the Porsche car was built for. That is exactly the kind of driving that Dr. Porsche intended.

Sold this on Bring a Trailer..............
