    Early 911/912 hub cap crests

    I am restoring what I suspect in the oldest preproduction RHD 912 vin 13366. Nothing appears to be standard.
    It has chrome wheels with crest badges on the hub caps. The colour was totally obscured but I have managed to peel the enamel paint from one of the hub cap. The inside is a reversed image but shows the colours notice the white background, I am presuming the letters are black. Has anyone a picture of a hub cap that matches these crests.

    I would be interested to see a picture showing the VIN detail

    Mine is 13366

    13330 - Within this group of 10 - One is listed as a 901 but with a 1600S Engine – (to my mind this makes it a 912) – The record is un-dated
    13352 - There is also one other listed as a 912 with engine No. 813 433, which is a 1965 356 SC Engine - Dated 29/06/64
    13363 – This is actually marked as Versuch (which means Attempt/Test) there is no engine listed for this car but there is a date of 15/12/1964
    13364 and 13365 are both listed as a 911`s
    13366 – The above list of numbers probably makes it the 3rd 912. However, more importantly, it is the only one listed as RHD – so we may assume that it is the first RHD 912
    The Porsche Internal record for 13366 is dated 08/02/1965
