It’s a Frank mobile by the looks of it. Nice looking car.

Ah that makes sense …. Glad I didn’t say anything rude about it then! I must keep up at the back.

The seat belt reel enclosure looks too recessed for a pre-73 car or am I missing something?

Probably just a later trim panel covering up the reel. Is the body underneath there not the same on F and G models?

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

That car is an old friend from back in the late 70’s and 80’s. It still has the “ignition off” arrow from when it was hillclimbed back then, and is part of the reason that we have our old hillclimb car.
Some lucky person has bought a great car with quite a history!
