Does anyone have any information on how many 74 Carrera Coupes mfi 210bhp were made in both RHD and LHD form.

I don't sorry - Guy White often posts on here so he's probably better to ask.

Porsche archives say for 1974 MY, 1011 coupés and 423 Targas, plus a further 15 converted to IROC race cars. No mention of LHD or RHD in those figures though.

Keith's figure of 1011 is correct but this already excludes the 15 IROC cars.

There were 40 RHD coupes supplied in the UK, 18 in Australia and I know of 3 supplied in Hong Kong. I also know of 2 supplied in Germany to C16 UK RHD spec, one of these has just had its restoration completed and the other was given to record producer Mickie Most by Sony records. It was produced with turbo/IROC/3.0RS bodywork but with the 911/83 engine and later converted by Kremer. That makes 63 RHD but there maybe a few more I don't know about.

Was the Most/Kremer one white, and is it known where the car is now? I'm still curious about the origins of that 1972 ringer on ebay with the ground-off engine number.
