    Thanks Nick

    I has been a thrill to discover and then research (still ongoing) such a rare car.

    I think the Porsche gods were looking down on us on the tail light recovery.

    This sounds fantastic. Two prototype cars coming to light within a month. Would you be able to share some photos?
    What colour is the S?

    This is very interesting. I suspect a few more of the very early 1969 cars are also prototypes.

    What I know of early LWB cars and SWB lights. As I noted 119300004 has SWB lights. I know that 119300007 does not. 119300003 had SWB lights and hand formed flares not the factory stamped versions of the production cars. Brian Long's book "Porsche 911 a Definitive History 1963-1971" shows, on pages 110-116, at least four different LWB cars with SWB lights.

    Mike, I am reading your thread on DDK with great anticipation. One question I have is that I cannot see the photos even though I am logged in.
