Australian rhd 912
G'day all
I have just found this thread (Iknow its old ) but would like to add some australian delivered cars .
I Know that 5 912's were delivered to aust in 1965
350502 polo red ( used to own ) now painted yellow ,painted 3 dial dash
350696 signal red ( i now own and are restoring ) painted 3 dial dash .
350697 not sure on details

I also think that 5 to 10 911's were also delivered in 1965
Hope this helps
Cheers Doug

350 697 is mine bought early last year after hibernating in a warehouse since 1983 ish...? Currently stripped to bare shell. Waiting house reno's to complete (and a big shed) to begin rebuild
I believe there is also another early 912 in Canberra that I am trying to track down at present.

Well I've been busy preparing and researching early panels so when I have time, i will have all the right parts at my fingertips. I have now made patterns to remanufacture the correctly detailed sills for the 64 - 68 cars, and although these pictures show my version for the 69-84 cars, be rest assured that this detail will be correct
Having a very good Edwards 40" box and pan folder, enables me to make this in less time than it takes to mod a genuine porsche one. Additionaly no 2 cars sills fit the same especially on the early ones, so with carefull measuring, an exact fit to the door can be acheived every time
Lastly a picture viewed from underneath showing how well it follows the line of the door
The 64 -68 will have the correct detail around the jacking point, and include the round hole in the base at the front. Will post some more pictures of the complete sill before fitting off the car.

Re: 1965 912 The oldest ? early sills remade
An old thread returns! Earlier/above David Kennedy suggested 350576 may have been the first UK RHD car. Is that still the view? I have recently been told about 350574 - apparently also RHD and in the UK at some point in its life, but not clear if it was first delivered here. Anyone know any more? Many thanks, Robert
