According to this picture/sale they are RHD lenses

Believe LHD has the refractor triangular bit on the right as well, and yours is on the left, above the part number.

Been ut in the 911 yet again this evening.
Went to the Porsche bias evening at Prescott hillclimb for a nice informal evening with the PCGB lot and quite a few other cars too.
Pulled pork and chips and things and a drop of dry cider.

Just maybe the wife enjoyed it too(!).

So much traffic getting there, just stupid.

Away this Sunday to the International Inter Club meeting at Malvern, more miles.

We were the only pre impact 911 there of course.

Changed the 32 year old battery earth strap, as apparently that's a primary source of battery drain and shitty hot starting, problems I've had with this thing for nearly eleven years now.

Image

Popped the multimeter over the eyelets and there's barely any resistance. But there is some. 2 ohms or so. We'll see how it goes, I guess. Picked up a fresh oil filter when I was getting the earth strap as well, as I should really change the oil this year. Sticking with Mobil 1, as five litres of the Porsche Classic stuff is 86€. The tin's cool and all, but not 30€ more than Mobil 1 cool. Especially not twice over.

I've still got ten litres of Costco's finest Mobil 1 here, but I'll give that a go next. Mobil 1 was handy because it was recommended for literally all of our cars so it saved me having to think too much, or have loads of odd dregs kicking about from the things that have a seven or eight litre oil capacity. With a bit of a reshuffle here I've got all the 'family' cars on LiquiMoly, which has been brilliant in the GTI and Macan, to be fair.

A bit late posting this but went to AirCooled Appreciation Society at C&M The Hill on Wednesday - two lovely SWB’s, some equally lovely old oval window Beetles and a very enjoyable drive from Bicester Heritage via Banbury on the A422 and back in the sunshine…

Seem to be actually using my 2 Porsches instead of just washing them of garage dust.

Took the Boxster on a solo run to Prescott hillclimb for the Member's Meeting, and the PCGB Speed Championship round and many other nice cars.

Really nice day, weather perfect, great clubbie event and lots of chat.
Lots of pics too which I hope you will like to see:
