Due to the families involvement into racing, servicing and hosting also guests at the Solitude races, it seems obvious, that Mr. Vetter jun. ended in participating in several rallies and races.

in the race lists following entries can be found:

Nürburgring, 20 laps,

but if we dig deeper into it, I noticed we already have Mr. Vetter in the following thread, started by Eric Gratz
https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...otos&p=1129339

He took place in the legendary
1972 Olympia-Rallye, 13-19 August 1972,
which was also the „birth“ of an iconic Rally master: Walter Roehrl

Wonder how much of this car is original metal? My guess, not much.

These photos from Recaro on the Speed Journal site show many similarities to the restored photos of 13326. Can anyone identify the car in these photos?

Great pictures - as you say, looks like the interior of 13326

Here's another photo at the same location from a different website. This looks very much like the engine photos that Haul posted in his first post.

I hadn't seen that type of air filter before; here is a colour shot:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmh they did spay over the lid catch screws--it even looks like also the catch--awsome......but at least it is the correct catch....(pointing my finger at the blue cars incorrect catch )

Eric,

thank you for posting these.
and yes, these pics are known and already discussed, f.i. the door lock panel, and the rear window fixation screw in the frame.
I also do know the picture from the rear, showing the engine, the lid spring mechanism and the huge fan.
If you compare the oil filler cap, it is the same as on the other Geneva pictures in the previous posts.
The "Typ 901" license plate is visible.
This plate was used in Frankfurt IAA and Geneva exhibition.
In London the license plate had been "Type 901".

The interior shot is around for a long time as it shows the complete pepita set up also on the rear and the complete rear tunnel cover.
The dash equals very much 13326, as the fresh air/heating mechanism is in the middle, above the later ration position. We do not have this on 13325 or 13327.
Of course, the 5 gauges set up also is a direct hint in direction of 13326.

Interesting is the door opening mechanism in the co-driver armrest- it obviously had to be pressed upwards.
We do find this mechanism in the attached picture from 13326 Quickblau at the Geneva exhibition, and also in the pics from Mr Ruf.

It can thus be suggested, that these pics might show 13326 Quickblau, but it is possible that other, later Protoypes had nearby likewise configurations.

I am positive, that this picture does show 13326 in the factory yard.

It was long times assumed, that 13325 had been white, as for a long time no colored pictures, or any other description was available.
From the "50shades of grey" it is clearly a non white, but more warm mid tone grey, coming close to any "Emaille Blau" assumption.

Interesting to see 13326 - if, as likely, you are correct Haul - without front overriders on this occasion!
