    Uli got a 3 1/2 year prison sentence in 2014 for tax evasion (numbered Swiss bank account). He ended up serving half the time. I wonder if the Finanzamt took any of his 911's?

    Didn’t keep it long assuming it’s same Auto Motor Sport Magazin 1974 Uli Hoeneß selling his 911 RS

    It is a latish RS if I understand the advert correctly June 1973 is mentioned so presume that’s when delivery photo was taken — anyone have a colour version of photo or others of his car?

    What was the vin and colour of this car as delivered. Probably in the reference books but mine aren’t to hand. Usually the side stripes of non-GPW white RS (if fitted) had to be black — except if car was black. There was “rules” to this effect in the specific RS ordering procedure. Only after the Carrera side decals were even permitted to non-white RS examples in calendar 1973; originally rule was no Carrera side decal on non- GP white cars. Could get PORSCHE on side as option if memory serves me well.

    But these stripes in the photo appear to be lighter than black? Always exceptions to every rule of course. Maybe being a celebrity allowed him some latitude or special wishes or maybe these written rules were relaxed for the much later RS? After all it wasn’t a homologation matter the side stripe was on the conversion order so apparently applied post weight scales for early RS cars that were weighed although this car clearly one of ones that was after so such things didn’t really matter because were just built like production Series TES rather than the original way of the homologation special loops and hood of the first two RS series.

    Also it has 7&8” wheels at new which has been discussed I seen recall this photo was shown on another thread about first use if wider wheels first seen from around the springtime — generally 7&8”— an option but without M option number weren’t initially available on early RS that had the 6&7” of the model specification, afaik.

    Maybe he existed in a monochrome world

    Dirk had previously posted this photo of him and
    that car in another thread — natty sheepskin seat covers are “very 70s”. Glimpse of rear parcel shelf auxiliary speakers. Roof antenna not usual position. Had been to aftermarket sound system fitter in meantime, it seems?

    Shows how wheel weights were applied to outside of the fronts back in the day rarely seen done that way in restorations these days. Looks like Dunlop tyres
    That brand also began to be used for RS alongside the earlier unique for RS Pirelli cn36 onetime the sole supplier of the special RS size rears?

    Also another good view of factory fitted bonnet mounted lamps.

    Image caption:
    "Robert Mitchum with his new Porsche 911 Targa, 1969. Mitchum took delivery of the car in Stuttgart, Germany, and then traveled around Europe until he made his way to Ireland. In Ireland, Mitchum filmed "Ryan's Daughter." A role he was paid $870,000 to "come out of retirement" for. While in Ireland, Mitchum stayed in a small 11-room hotel that he had entirely to himself. If the front desk phone rang while he was there, Mitchum would answer it and make reservations for future guests."
