I don’t have accurate colour breakdowns but 80 or 86 (different sources) rhd 911T coupes were delivered to the UK in MY 70.
Of all 1970 coupes (rhd and lhd) 14.48% were tangerine (blood orange) but this includes E and S models so possibly less than a dozen or so UK delivered tangerine T coupes in MY70 is my guess.

Mike

But almost all would have been 2.2, right?

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
I don’t see a date in the ad but the wording suggests than it was a new 2.0 litre car left over from the 1969 MY still available for sale after August 69. I assumed you were asking about 1970 MY from your question which would have commenced sales in August 69 which would indeed have been 2.2 and sold alongside this tangerine car. Maybe you have a date for the ad (which is 1970?) and therefore the tangerine 2.0 car has been left unsold for months.
A similar thing happened in 73 when some unsold MY 73 2.4 cars got an M reg rather than an L reg and were sold alongside the newer 2.7 G series cars which became available in August 73.
Forgive my misinterpretation of your question.
Regards
Mike

Yes, that's right it's a 1970 ad. I thought it might be a curiosity for the owner, if they were around.
