I’ve always loved this car but it seems to have had a lot of work since it was for sale at Canepa a few years ago.

More sales patter. Not an actual L rally factory car.

Crikey that is a leap if correct. They clearly are saying it is a factory rally car. Whilst you are here Stretch can you shed any light on the factory lightweight cars from 69 that were pictured on the Porsche pic of the day thread? I’d never heard of them before.

Sales patter does suggest at the beginning it isn’t a factory car ... but could almost be ‘considered’ one due to its spec ... a good bit of sales fluff that.

Not sure why Jurgen Barth is then said it is a factory car ... I assume that’s more a passing comment than a factual chassis number check ?

All interesting stuff though and I bet a fun car

Indeed some great wordsmithery! Surprised by European collectibles as they do often have genuinely rare cars. Thankfully I’m not in the market for that sort of car ! I normally poke my nose in and have a chat when over there as I stay nearby.
I agree that it looks like it would be a fun car!

Rich, that car is the German delivered lightweight S. Supposedly the prototype for the 70 ST

I believe Fred Hampton owns a lightweight 911S.

Dave,
Thanks for the info. I’d not heard of them before. My 1970 T was built in July 69 so was probably kicking around there somewhere the background!
