Help identifying an oil tank please

Post by IanMcLeod »

Could any of you help me identify this oil tank. It has no numbers stamped on it other than a large 930 on the back. It also looks to have a couple of extra takeoffs.

That's a 930 (911 Turbo) oil tank.

Thanks for the replies. Raises another question.

If the two small threaded feeds are for a Sporto system then was the 930 tank fitted to all cars at a certain post 73 date or was there such a car as a 930 Turbo with Sporto gearbox? I am assuming not.

As an aside when did the Sporto go out of production?

I think Sporto's were listed as an option until end of 1980.
