    Press kit werksfoto

    That early S car was assigned to the Werks press fleet according to Brian Long's 'Porsche 911 The Definitive History 1963 to 1971' first published in 2003.

    Brian used the same photo in his book and it appears in color full page on p 77. The right front three quarter view appears full page on p 76.

    Always thought that picture was of a black car. but color one looks to be Aga blue or bali blue. Also funny that a brand new 911S would have rusty heat exchangers already. Chris

    This pic is from a Christophorus from the day.
    Its obviously one of Huschke's cheapskate publicity stunts.
    I'm equally too slack to look up chapter and verse .....

    Cheers
