Acorrding to the chassis number, yes it's a '69S LWB.Winston Teague wrote:Re: Another Early 'S' Project or Not?
The engine number is also a '69S.
CoA are no longer available from Porsche but you can get a Kardex (all model years upto 1969) from somebody like Davep for a fee, so you can check if it's matching numbers.
Looks like Bahama yellow to me.
Pity it's a sunroof car.

Certainly an interesting car from an Irish perspective, given its owner and competition history

The car appears on the "Dash of Irish" video of the '71 Circuit, being followed by Paddy Hopkirk in the camera car

Could be signal orange, and motor seems a little later than chassis. Yes, can get the Kardex.
Porsche historian & researcher, contact me for Kardex through 1969 model year.
