For 1972, I do.
Swiss market 911 had:
A-upgraded equipment coming standard, named "Swiss equipment" with "flat rate" price.
B-regular equipment, named "simplified" with "flat rate" price.
C-regular equipment, named "simplified" plus all options as extra price.

Version A was almost similar to US equipped cars except seat belts/safety equipment.

Although my car is an Italian market car, it has emergency flashers.

Do you think this was done to federalize the car to the U.S. market?.

It would be my guess that it was done over here. Are there other signs that this car actually went through the DOT process?

Yes, no doubt.
My experience is that when I see a European specification car for sale in the US it is more "federal" than a federal car.
Example: most 911 3.2 in the US would now have H4 European style headlights but grey market cars would always have the horrible scoops...
Italian original early 911s would never have emergency flashers. Mine, for one, does not. If you touch under the basket weave you fell the hole, but there is no harness.

I do strongly believe all RS's did have an emergency flasher, even Italian market cars! Mine has it and I have seen others as well. Correct me if I am wrong...Mike, AJ...

I beleive, by early 1973 most RoW cars had it but not at all around 1968/69/70.

US federal regulations slowly got adapted in Europe and most RoW country's had their different pace.
UK cars did not adapt until 1975. (mirrors)
BTW. Keep in mind the 1973 911RS was originally not sold in the US market !

Cees,
I think that italian-delivered RS didn't originally have the flasher, but a few of them got it when they were still in Italy.
Here is #689:

I am getting the "gut" feeling that most, if not all we done when they came to the U.S.

Anyone have Piech's telephone number!!;)

Andrea, I own a 72S Italian delivered new to Naples in February 1972. Could you help me trace the complete ownership history?It lived in Brindisi for many years. Thanks so much. Steven P

If you have at least one of the italian registration numbers of your car, it's quite simple and not very expensive to get the complete list of the italian owners of the car. I already helped a few members with their cars.
Up to 1994, if a car was sold outside the province of the previous owner, it should get a new registration number of the province of the new owner, so it's quite difficult to find cars with original registrations (black square plates in the rear), and they attract quite a premium in Italy because it's a good indication of long term ownership.

Ciao

Hi Steven,
I can help you to get the owner history of your car in Italy. I have an Italian car too and helped members from the US before.
I can't PM you as you have too less posts.
Maybe you can PM me?
