I might well be under a misapprehension here however I was under the impression that in 1972 AFN only imported less than 60 variants of the RHD 911-S excluding the E and T model
In addition I seem to recall being advised that surviving S models from 1972 were between 15-16 cars that were known of
Always happy to be corrected on this subject more curiosity than anything else
Regards John
If you have info that will take precedent as I was just crunching the numbers given above.

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 was wondering how rare the base model car actually is? I’m not planning on restoring it back to orginal spec but was interested out of curiosity. Tbh if I do anything with it longer term it will be turning it into a 73 2.8 RSR rep, seems a shame to have a long hood masquerading as something else!
This isn't the yellow one that recently sold, is it?

Nope it’s white! Now sports a rather silly 3.8 on ITBs and 350bhp at the wheels!
