Thread: SWB Rare factory options thread

    SWB Rare factory options thread

    I was looking around for any references to the factory ordered Sisal mat set and noticed that there wasn't a good thread collecting rare factory options for the SWB cars. I'd like to see pictures of rare options such as the ones listed in the chart below.

    I've never seen another early car ordered with the 9189 Sisal floor mat set which included a rear deck mat. Even with inflation making it about $70, the $9.90 charged seems like a bargain for such high quality mats...I'm surprised these weren't ordered more often.

    On the order sheet for my '66 911 described here are requests for European Bosch headlights (my car has H1s), 9204/9205 lap and shoulder seat belts for both sides, antenna mounted on right hand side, clear front parking lights, and amber rear turn signals. My car still has these things.

    1. the first owner ordered a headrest for the Right side, but the factory mounted it on the left (unless your seat backs were swapped? )
    2. what is your VIN?

    I like your signature...like you I am looking for my original engine (number 903879).

    1. Curiously, both seats have headrest mounts, but there's only one headrest! I like it for comfort so I keep it on the driver's side.
    2. 303744, one of the last ones made with Solex carbs

    Awhile ago I had a very rusty '67 912 parts car (since crushed) with a Motometer temperature guage mounted next to the headlight switch which I'd never seen before. A little research turned up the following pics...evidently there were small ones by VDO also and a larger one that replaced the clock, all of which could be installed at the factory. That large green faced one is just gorgeous IMHO!

    Any more pics of rare options?
