    Paging rego 'JMB-207'....

    I've got some pics and background info on a car that ran Vic rego JMB-207. The car appears to be a 1968 911T, in light ivory.
    I have been in touch with Hugh Hodges, who advised of a couple of possibilities...

    Is anyone aware of this car?

    rgds,
    Scotty

          Why is that Sean, I thought that 68s park their wipers on the left? I’m not overly knowledgeable on SWB variants so happy to be corrected.
          We can assume that the car is an Aus delivered car, as I’ve been told about the chap’s background and his friendship with Norman Hamilton.

            Headlights and silver wipers might make it earlier than 68?

              Wipers are parked on the wrong side and silver. Can't see the external mirror on driver side, interior mirror is early too.

                Not sure what the sealed beams and 5 1/2" rims tell us, Wiper parking is only a 15 minute change, and same with colour , but I can't see someone changing the rear view mirror over

                  Okay so are we saying that it could be a 67 car?

                    Tan Interior too. Suggest 67 or earlier, as the rear view mirror says 67 or prior to me.

                      Found.
                      I was contacted today on behalf of the owner, who is in NSW. The car is a 1966 911 in white with red interior.
                      Info has been passed on to the owner.

                      Case closed. Thanks Typ901!

                        Think I remember this car from the mid 80’ s ..... it was quite active in PCNSW.

                        re the wipers and their orientation - I really don’t think that is indicative of anything. Mine parked to the left when I bought my 68. Also wiper motors fail and did in period. Spare parts would not have been Rhd specific.

                          Ok,
                          the 68 i have was built 22 aug 67, I dont think the wipers have been painted black from silver and switched sides.
                          But who knows what happened to the car above, the interior mirror is a dead give away but maybe the owner wanted that earlier look.

                            Yes many people wanted their cars to look newer than they actually were ( in complete contrast to today) so it’s possible.
