Hugh, excellent pic.
Do you think, it is the garage in Téloché near Le Mans?
Raj, I looked over and over at the film of the red mule for an oil flap but couldn't see one so I'm guessing a 70 or 71 might be right. I sent you a PM re: still frames.
Nick
orange "Mule": a SWB ?
Also, it has 4 Cibies and, on second shot, one might can see a black P O R S C H E script on lower sills. Ex-1968 Rally car ?
I'm shure I'm wrong and my eyes are playing just numb.. :p
Karim, I've looked again but there is no P O R S C H E lettering on the lower sill. Wish there was more info....

I thought that it might be a 68 or 69 rallye car as well
I could not figure out from the shots i had whether it was SWB or not. I would have thought for what they were testing - wide wheelbase, probably for RS RSR, and associated suspension by the look of it - that it would make sense to us a LWB car not a SWB one
Also i was looking to try to get a closeup of the door handle to see if that helped, as the shape changed over that period, but have not been able to get a clear enough picture
I dont think it is later than a 1970 car
Looking at the relationship of the rear wheel to the rear of the quarter light I am sure it is a LWB car. Looking at proportions is my livelihood so I am pretty certain.
Paul, but isnt the rear wheel cut out to fit the larger rear tire ? It makes it difficult to conmpare proportions.Quote:

But it certainly makes sense to rather test a +69 LWB based car.
Raj:
The single exhaust pipe would have been for the 2.7L engine which was used in practice, and when the car was thrown into service for the race with the race engine, it displayed the dual RSR pipes. These are great shots and would have helped us reach the right conclusion earlier on this great thread. Let's find what happened to 107 (360002).
Raj:
I had forgotten about your earlier posting. Maybe Mike Moore should use his car for the retubbing...it's an original 72 S and with the work Mike is doing to it, it is probably as authentic as any retubbed car could be.
He just posted this shot on www.ddk-online.com under Restorations, "My New Project". Great work Mike!
