I bought myself a 1976 911S a few weeks back, but i noticed a few things that puzzle me.
1. The speedometer has these red lines between the 50km/h and 60km/h marks. This I have seen with almost all speedometers.
What I haven't seen before though is these same lines from 100 onward all the way to 250 (max).
The car is originally from Japan, and the speedometer seems original to the car (total distrance driven matches the various documents that came with it) but I can't find this type of speedometer anywhere on the web or in my Porsche documentation.
Would anyone know here if this is a Japan specific thing or if it is an aftermarket thing afterall?
2. The car has indicators on the front fenders. Also here the web was not very helpful, and my Morgan book is still somewhere in one of the unopened boxes, but from Google it seems as if these fenders are SC fenders (e.g: Post 1981). The car does not have any front damage - as the original viper-green shows through verywhere and there are no welds or nothing. So, did the SC fenders have a bigger lip and would one of the owners have put these on for easthetic reasons or could this have been an American or Japanese option on the 1976 'from the factory'?
