1970 RHD 2.2S for sale- needs work...

[John S]

And mine is:

VIN 119100145
Engine 6193137

Curious... chassis appears later than mine, yet engine appears earlier?

Other than your cars being one year apart, what do you mean John?

Well Rich's car is definitely a '70 car to my mind according to his VIN, yet it appears his engine has an earlier number than mine.

And it's all quite odd for cars that are apparently 1969 Aussie delivered sporto Ts (which should make them Karmann built rather than Stuttgart).

[John S]

Fishcop's engine #3137 1969 production

Rich's engine #3040 1970 production

Rich's engine was built earlier in the production cycle than your car, but in the following year's production run as denoted by the third digit in the engine number. Your's is "9" for '69 and Rich's is "0" for '70.

Thanks John, that makes more sense

looked up the email I received from porsche australia on my car (haven't sought a COA) - lists build date for my car of 01/08/69.

(as an aside, Porsche Australia has the correct engine details, whereas Porsche Germany has the gearbox number listed as the engine number!)

and we are now WAAAY off topic for the sale of a 2.2S!!

I pulled my COA and letter from Porsche AU... it just complicates things as it notes my car as a '69 but having been fitted with a 2.2 So now I'm really confused.

Yes sorry to steer so far from topic

so john is your car a 69 (with the 1 off goodies) with a 2.2 or a 70 labelled as a 69?

John,
quick ring CAMS and ask for a Group Sb Log Book, it'll give them a heart attack

[John S]

John, I wonder where the 2.2l info came from, AU or Germany? The engine number you quote is correct for a 901/13 1991cc fitted to sporto...

[Fishcop]

I tried to scan in the letter and COA but am having problems.

My car is definitely a '69... It would be nice to think it's a "one off" but I suspect it is an error on behalf of Porsche Cars Australia as the letter notes the engine as a 901/13 but goes on to say it has a 2.2 lt capacity with 125hp...

The COA from Germany simply indicates the car to be a bog-stock 911t mit sportomatic. No sunroof. Becker-SSG. and driver side wing mirror.

so imagine what my engine was supposed to be when listed as #7200171 by Porsche Germany!!!

(took a little to work out that they had mixed up the gearbox and engine numbers).

Just to muddy the waters further, my car has a 912 chassis number 129020353 but is registered as a 1970 manufacture -( when the 912 ceased production in 1969).Engine no 61119142 -2.2 litre. Discs are 912 solid not vented. Bits left over at end of 1969 production or a rebuilt 912? Any ideas?

[griffiths_r]

maybe we should start a 'what's my cars history' thread...?
