Hi Robin,

Of your 7 cars, there are a couple in question. I've never come across chassis number 300475? As far as I knew MMU911C / 300474 was the factory RHD prototype that was tested until production of RHD cars commenced. 300475 suggests there were two research cars?

I need to check when I get a moment, but I also believe that chassis number 300772 was converted to RHD by Robert Gant many years ago.

That takes the spreadsheet to 5 cars. I think there's an Australian car, sister car to Stewart's car missing from your records. Hamilton's received 3 cars and two (including 301503) still exist. I'll check the numbers and come back to you.

Cheers
David

300474 was completed Jan 27 (4th car that day). It was one of a few cars that were completed particularly early compared to other chassis #'s since it was the 352nd completed. Apparently 300597 was the 348th completed. I'm sure there are interesting reasons why these chassis were completed so early, but I have no knowledge of it.
300475 was very likely completed much later as suggested by the May date. Believed to be one of first 6 Australian delivery.

Great info Dave, how can you tell which car of which day were finished? That's mind boggling!

I've spoken to Stuart Kay who holds the Australian Purchase Ledger info for Hamilton's. 300475 does exist and also shows us that these RHD cars were often built in batches of two. It was also Bali Blue with Fawn interior. It was Hamilton's demonstrator, kept in Germany and driven by Alan Hamilton while he was apprenticing at the factory in 1965. It was later shipped to Australia and registered in Victoria in early 1966 as LGK-911. The car is currently painted Silver and with a collector in New South Wales.

A good friend was given scans of several pages from the production book for his 1964 911 project, and I was given the data. So for the first 380 cars produced I have the actual date of completion. I can compare this to the Kardex dates to see how long the cars sat after completion before they were invoiced to dealer/distributor and also to customer delivery. I have some info from the Reutter production book also that shows when the bodies were delivered to the factory prior to being put on the assembly line. So, in a few cases I have 4 dates in the process. I will need to speak to Stuart.
So far I have obtained about 170 Kardex for clients, and have scans of about 550 altogether. So it makes an interesting database.

Does anyone know whether 300597 still exists?

Does anyone know whether 300772 was a factory RHD or a later conversion? https://www.classiccarratings.com/aucti ... rdens-9531

A good article on 300474 here, on page 56 http://porschecarshistory.com/wp-conten ... -11-12.pdf

I have an original PCGB price list for the accessories when speccing a new RHD 911 model year 66. Not the car price but the options. I'm in process of slowly reducing things not relevant to my 73 car. One page mimeograph style like the many I have for other years . Rather than post it image probably I'll post it as a FS item when I dig it out or trade it for interesting 72 3 bit maybe
Mentioning it here as heads up -- it seems like it might be relevant to folks digging into the cars.certainly original not photocopy. Maybe common a common Porsche paper maybe rare -- don't know?
