1973 italian equipment

[Biancaneve]

Andrea, I own a 72S Italian delivered new to Naples in February 1972. Could you help me trace the complete ownership history?It lived in Brindisi for many years. Thanks so much. Steven P

I might have some data for you, if it's in my database ... just send me a pm with chassis n. and i will let you know ...

Stumbled over this posting, when I searched for pictures of seats in Italian delivered 73.
Interesting detail in the picture that Andrea posted is, that the driver seat hinge has no leaver and I guess also no hook to hold the backrest in position.

Have a pair of 73 double locker comfort seats with headrest holes plugged and no lever on the driver hinge, while the passenger side has the complete known mechanism in the hinge.

Had Italian spec cars unlockable driver backrest?

Cees,
I think that italian-delivered RS didn't originally have the flasher, but a few of them got it when they were still in Italy.

Mines have the mechanism ... comfort seats, currently out of the car.

NEOhio911S, interesting piece of info that confirms what has emerged in this thread.

@911231: there are no Porsche dismantlers in Italy, but a few guys that trade parts. It depends on what you need and in which part of the country are you going to travel.

@ John: the Porsche dealer in Verona in 1973 was called Auto-motor, but is no longer in trade.

Autogerma was the importer, not just a specific dealer ...
