Is there any way I could find the first reg number / owner of my 9112300614 ?
I have an ex Italian 2.4S. It went from italy, to Belgium then to the uk where it stayed for a number of years. I bought it in the uk in 2011 then shipped it with me to canada in 2013 when I emigrated.
In my opinion Steve is right. I think many 2.4 in general were sold in Italy. Just look to the car that are for sale in Germany, in France and the UK. Many of them are Italian and didn't necessarely get out of Italy during the last crisis.
Given the interest on Italian delivered cars, I wrote this morning to the Italian relevant authority to know more about aggregated data of original registration and current statistics, plus possibility of research of history by providing the chassis numbers and associated costs. Let you know as it develops.
My 72S Targa was also an original Italian delivery car, imported to the US in the mid 1980's
9112310709
Let's see:
1972 911S Coupes total = 1750
33% to USA = 577
15% Metallic Blue = 87
30% on the road = 26
High? Low? Who knows?
I'm following your thread of restoration of 9112300614, very juicy :)Quote:

For the 614 ... I'm waiting for the answer at the Italian MoT :)
I too am intrigued by survival fractions. Porsche is fond of saying that 90% (or some such crazy number) of all Porsches ever built are still on the road. Of course the sum total of all 356 and pre 1974 911 production is likely less than a couple of years of current production. I read somewhere recently that the 500,000th Cayenne rolled of the line recently. How long did it take for Porsche to produce its first half million cars ? Thirty years ? Longer ? So while I believe Porsche's numbers (it is effectively a post-war manufacturer), the 90% number is heavily dominated by production in the past couple of decades.
Which brings us back to the E and F types. The number is clearly not 90%. Is it really as high as 30% ?
BTW, Are you tracking all cars in the ERS or do you want our info ?
I have 9113301215, Silver Coupe originally delivered to New York - trying to determine who the supplying dealer was, listed as 'UN' - if anyone can recall ?
