Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
It's a 1962 MY - new taillights (but early licence plate light) came in August 1961, and in general it's identical to 1963 MY except for one thing: the Wolfsburg crest is still retained on the bonnet just above the handle. 1963 models didn't have the crest...Gary71 wrote:Guess that was the year of import then, which after posting above I've googled a bit and it would look to be at latest a '63 from the engine lid.Sam wrote:66 would have had slotted wheels and flat hubcaps innit?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
That car looks to be the same model year as the Herbie car, so it's probably a '63 if I'm not mistaken.Gary71 wrote:It’s plate suggests it’s a ‘66 which seems about right. I sure Keith will be along shortly with its exact production month!
p.s.
KS nailed it.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Ha ha ..... I haven't sat in one (recently) so I still really want one! Was it the driving position that put you off? I love the look of this GTS, coming to auction next month. Please save / stop me ....sng45 wrote:I always wanted a Pantera - until I sat in one !yoda wrote:
