    What is the document source?

    that is only for the 4 (or maybe only 3 of the 4) GTS cars which were not homolagated. the homologation weights were for the minimum of 1000 cars of the same spec so IMO it cant solve that question

    Can anyone else confirm that? Or speculate why?
    I think I solved the mystery of why only one 911R was in aluminum.

    The rules for the class entered in the Marathon de la Route Required metal bodywork. So they must have made R3 just like the GTS’s specific for that recent and class.

    Soooo...Registration tags for the GTSs appear to be two different lengths. 00004 looks to be 20 inches long while 00009 looks like 18. Talk about weight savings in race trim!

    Any chance of seeing those 30 interior photo's Sanders.? I know that 2 of the factory cars had The Auto Total extinguishers fitted. Would really like to see if this applied to all. ? Probably did.

    The level of factory documentation on and originality of this car is incredible, as it was basically only used for one factory werks effort. No accidents. Stored soon after. Effectively a handmade race car touched by everyone important to Porsche racing back then.
