European Delivery 73 Details

[greens]

I am working with a shop locally on a car which I believe may have been an European or Italian delivery 1973 model S. We are trying to make sure the car is put back together in the right configuration but in its current state there are some details which are different than what I am familar with a US delivery cars. Specific questions at this point are 1) did the seats on these versions have double locked backrests? 2) did all cars come with the unique F&R rubber bumper overriders regardless of market? 3) were the dash switches covered in the rubber as was the case here? 4) were there seatbelt interlocks or buzzers in non-US versions?. This car also has an AL rear lid but a steel LP valance. Any other US vs euro / Italian delivery details would be appreciated as well an any pictures of original cars to help.

Thanks

If Italian delivery there will be an "M" stamped into the aluminum manufacturers data plate next to the 911S. A photo of the data plate would be useful for research.
Also for 1973 is the transition from KG to AG on the plate; useful to know for research.

Open the gas filler lid and see if there is a vent hose from the filler neck through the inner fender to the vapor collection vent hoses. Euro cars did not have that vent hose. The hole in the filler well was plugged.

Italian delivered cars have some unique features like no emergency flashers, many were delivered without a driver's side outside mirror, many came without seat belts too, front turnsignal lens with larger 'white' area and small orange colored area on the lens.

I have seen some IT cars with sport seats that had no headrests and plastic plugs in the holes where the rests go. The rubber cover over the dash switches are US market, not European. Many '73 European 'S' models had 85L plastic fuel tanks too. The only '73 model year 911 with an AL rear lid would have been a ducktail delete RS.

I''ve got a Euro '73 911T, I believe it is Italian.
It is not all original but from what I can tell these items were original features

No seat belts
No seat belt warning lamp (I guess it's not needed with no belts)
No hazard lights
No rubber caps on switches
No fuel vapour tank

It has clear front signal lenses
Double locker seat slides
Chrome rear bumper guards
"S" gauges and front bumper but no "S" trim

I do not have a plastic tank but I think it was standard on the Euro E and S

I'll take a look at my car tomorrow to see if I can see anything else. (Car is not at home)

I also ave a spare Euro owners manual for sale, got it from the dealership.
It's the 2/73 version, reprinted 11/2012
I'll go look at it now, I think it's at hone

I've just brought home a nice MY '70 2.2 T, still with its original italian plates of the Seventies. It doesn't have neither seat belts, nor hazard lights and the front flasher lenses are correct.

Can anyone help with a listing similar to the above also for 1970 "Italian Equipment"?
