Early 911S

Well it's not the blue one. Last time I saw it i am certain it had its original engine

I have been googling coffee brown because its far more interesting than what's happening at work today, however i can't find an image. Anyone?

[MikkiP]

Looks like this, much darker than Sepia brown

i also know of another 67 S engine that was in my Wife's T34
Karmann Ghia some ten years ago! How do we do a check on it ?

Thanks for finally posting up some awesome pics of your 67's.

So is Mikki's the 'red' one that is actually brown?

Or are there 5 .... red, white, blue, brown and whatever coloured one that 1st's engine came out of??

Nup, Mikki's isn't the red one accounted for. So far we now know of four Oz '67 S carson for sure: The red one (A Hamilton's car covered in a mag back in '67), the blue one (which by the way was originally Irish Green) that's in Sydney; my white one and Mikki's brown one. Plus the existence of a '67S engine mentioned in an earlier post that decades ago came from a fifth car that has not resurfaced (believed to be but not confirmed 100% as an Oz car). Then Mikki's recent mention of yet another '67S engine that was in a Karmann Ghia ten years ago (the source of which is not yet clear). Clear as mud!

Is that the engine you had in the Karmann Ghia, Mikki? Its engine number makes it a quite late MY '67 S engine. So def not from the red car because we know it was delivered early. Not from yours, mine or the blue (originally Irish Green) one - because they've all still got original engines. Clearly not the same as the engine mentioned by 1st in his post the other day. So from a sixth car. You got any other info to help track it down to see whether or not it was an original Oz delivery? The plot thickens.

[MikkiP]

I have chased up the bloke
who pulled it out and put a 2.4t engine in the Karman Ghia

I'm waiting on a reply to see if he still has it, it had dropped a valve then removed

Talk soon

Mikki

[MikkiP]

Yes this is another engine. Mine has its og engine still

961630 is not the number from the red one - that was 9608xx so far as I am aware. it is not one of the engine engines for the 4 cars i currently believe were Australian delivered and is just a bit earlier in series that the one in the originally Irish green (now blue) car and later than all of the others.
