I don't blame Doug as the forum titles are very confusing:
Pre 1974 - Porsche 911 (longhood)
Post 1973 - Porsche 911 (Aircooled)

It should be:
Pre 1973 - Porsche 911 (longhood)
Post 1974 - Porsche 911 (Aircooled)

Year of cars are normally related to model year, not calendar year.

I recall a loooooonggggggg discussion regarding this when we changed it!

Well, it has been proved that an outsider will not understand the titles. I'd change it to:

Pre 1973 - Porsche 911 (longhood)
Post 1974 - Porsche 911 (Aircooled)

or better yet:

Pre 1973 - Porsche 911 (longhood)
Post 1974 - Porsche 911 (impact bumper)

Ha ha!

Im not going to get involved in in house politics. Im just trying to flog tyres, However i hope i do it in a freindly way without being too blatant.

But 1973 and 1974 cars are neither pre 1973 nor post 1974 so that wouldn't work.

Or leave just as it is!

How about:

1964 to 1973 Porsche 911 (longhood)
1974 to 1989 Porsche 911

and another section for 964/993?

Pre-74 and 74-on

What about "up to when everybody liked them"
and "from when most people liked them"

And back on topic, an advert from a 1976 copy of the Daily Express I found whilst renovating my house.

Nice one DustyM.

I love an old advert. What do you think of that hair cut?



I beleive there has been a bit of a complication in the production of the 165R15 CA67. the early tyre, however we do have the CNH36 on the shelf.

And i do think they are a super cool looking tyre.
