Ultimate ST thread

[HughH]

It’s also confusing that in the later barrow body look it’s running deco trim too? Could he have instead swapped road registrations from the S to the ST?

That is, in part why I am trying to find as many photos as possible. But one thing is clear the VIN 911 030 1230 is a genuine 1970 930kg "rallye" according to the production records and was sold to Horst Rack. The issue I am trying to sort out is which events he used it in and as a consequence of that which historic photos are of that car rather than some other car he may have been using. I am certain that the wide body look at the 1970 Semperit is how it would have looked like when it came off the production line.

He was known to co-drive other cars at the time, but I think that they all (or mostly) belonged to Hans-Joachim Walter like the #55 car below at the 1972 Monte Carlo WZ-HJ 33. I am making an assumption here that only cars with a F registration plate are likely to be Rack's cars.

However to argue against it being a swap, when he moved to a 72 car he did have different registration plates, F-AJ 911, pictured below

Also the photos of the car in earliest guise as well as in later narrow body guise and in current form have antenna on LHS and the 72, which is also narrow with trim, has it on RHS





Unfortunately I have not yet been able to find a photo of the 911S he had before 1970 to compare it with F-HR 899
