Thanks Nick
I has been a thrill to discover and then research (still ongoing) such a rare car.
I think the Porsche gods were looking down on us on the tail light recovery.

This sounds fantastic. Two prototype cars coming to light within a month. Would you be able to share some photos?
What colour is the S?

Mike

That's an incredible cliff hanging first post... :)
Please share some more info on these special cars.
Thanks
Bryce
Nobody could make this up!!! Come on out with it, story, pictures, who the car will be left to when you croak :)Quote:

What I know of early LWB cars and SWB lights. As I noted 119300004 has SWB lights. I know that 119300007 does not. 119300003 had SWB lights and hand formed flares not the factory stamped versions of the production cars. Brian Long's book "Porsche 911 a Definitive History 1963-1971" shows, on pages 110-116, at least four different LWB cars with SWB lights.
sanders ,
Were 119300003 or 0007 , 320 xxx bodies ? If so , do you know the corresponding 320 numbers ?
Mike, I am reading your thread on DDK with great anticipation. One question I have is that I cannot see the photos even though I am logged in.
