Was there a light yellow Carrera RS 2.7 on the racetrack or rally in the 70s?

I recently got a light yellow 73T with RS and racetrack upgrades.

Now I am considering whether to adapt it optically to a historical model from the racetrack or rally with "war paint" from the 70s.
If there were actually light yellow RS with the purpose at that time, maybe someone has photos or knows where they are?
It is not about RSR but "only" about RS.
I saw the photo recently published by Thomas Lundeval of Björn Waldegård's car, who used it in the rally cross.
I am grateful for all references.

"We have recently restored the RHD M471 chassis 00964, a couple more pictures and a very brief notable competition history.

1974

1975

- Circuit of Ireland 2nd
- Donegal 2nd (puncture cost win)

Hi Andreas, I've been thinking too about how I'd restyle your car.
I'd ditch the ducktail and get rid of the carrera script and have a mega sleeper (unless the engine is on)
Lift off sound of your car is soooo agressive with its 3.4 twinplug

Thank you Karlus and yes, I admittedly made it a little easy for myself with my question. I have to practice a little more with the search function.
After the restoration, the light yellow RS looks pretty original. But the pictures from 1975 show at least some "war paint".

Hi Uli,
haha, I had to laugh when I read your suggestion in the other direction.
When my wife saw the car for the first time, she said: "Do the stickers have to be? That makes the vehicle not look as elegant as my other classic cars".
Different background but in the same direction.
Let's see what I do. One also says: "Inner values count more than the outer". I will probably first deal with driving and thus with the inner values.

Andreas, you could ask Phil, who's shop restored it recently (Phil Hindley ; Tech 9 Motorsport ; United Kingdom ; www.tech-9.co.uk ; Early S registry membership #2207 ; user name = pht9).

On that same thread of irish rally cars was this nice shot of another car ... "MAN 911C. This is apparently a RS that, according to Copeland’s book, was used by Dennis Easthope in 1976, then by David Shatlock, before finally being used by Gillian Pickard in 1977. According to the book it has been fully restored and remains with her on the Isle of Man. "



I love Light Yellow. Saw Steve Harris's LY RS318 at the Saratoga Springs museum recently and the color looks great in person


Best of luck with your search. A "lupine" sports purpose car in sheep's clothing .... almost a play on words with Lapine (Tony, design director @Porsche starting in '69, did the body for 917 PA Spyder, Hippie Car paint (917-043 ; 917K 917-021 ; 917-20 Pink Pig)
