Ultimate ST thread

T. Micheron ?
I don't think that his car has a correct PTH ( french FFSA papers )

If the T, is for Thierry then that's the guy. Great car !

this month the french magazine "speedster" published an article regarding this car:

Hi,

Further to the photograph in the earlier Speedster Magazine article, does anyone have any more photographs of a factory 1972 ST engine bay, particularly around the oil filter area / overflow area?

Thx

i have a few, it depends on what you are looking for. I wil post some earlier ones (1970 and 71) as well as i have them to hand and they show some of the differences

to start here is werks rallye car 911 230 0047 after it crashed in kenya and the engine was removed.

Here is Raj's ST that turned into RS0001


here is 230 0987


i am sure i have lots more.(reached 5 photo limit). what exactly are you looking for

[HughH]

here are a few more
first the Brumos car 030 0043 restored and definitely not the factory way - i presume this was original to this car


here is 030 0990 the "Nunes" car from portugal


here is 030 1127 being restored in uk



and the Ginther Le mans ST 130 1148



I will try to find some 1972 ones a bit later but i suspect they will not be too much different

Interesting photos Hugh. It appears that the oil console set up on those cars all are a little bit different. I also see that the original photos do not show any gusset ing to strengthen the chassis. Was that a later more "modern" modification?

[HughH]

agree Scott, although without finding genuine period photos ( they are around but mostly dont show the detail) it is hard to know what is correct these days, what is period modification (or slightly later) and what is not correctly restored
here are a couple more 72's
first a toad hall car 911 230 1139

werks rally car 911 230 0041

Chassis strengthening methods was discussed earlier in this thread as I recall (didn't go back to find it), but I think the rear shock tower strengthening was first used for the 73 RSRs with coil-over suspensions. Factory engineers noticed that the rear suspension was moving around quite a bit (they filmed it somehow) with the wider rear tires, and as the torsion bars were removed leaving the sole support in the cross member.

...I remember talking to the previous owner when it ran at Classic Le Mans in, 2010...

Classic 2010 was one of the best days of my life!!!!!
