    I think I read somewhere that there was 15 Rhd 75 930 built. One very nice example I missed out on buying here in Australia now resides in Mexico.

    I think only 6 came to Australia in 75. So 6 out of 15 RHD cars ended up in Australia. Magnus recently bought one and took it to LA. Given that they had a tendency to either be turned into race cars or wrecks their could only be 3 or less AU delivered 75 cars left. The 930 registry shows 2 of the last 4 came to Australia.

    Micheal Cottons book suggests that 17 75's where ordered in the UK prior to production. One would assume they where RHD?

    I looked through the original photos very closely, and they appear to be in the car back when new. I thought they would have been added later, as I had no idea the winged seat backs were around in any Porsche before the 964 RS or 968 Club Sport, but these look to be the first ones I know of.

    idart, where did you find the blue filter? I thought these were only available in orange these days.

    This may have been a DOT requirement for the US.

    I looked at two cars yesterday, # 488, 76 ROW 930 and it did not have the frame rail as noted, and also viewed #314, 77 US 930 which does have the rail present.

    Here's a pic of two original turbo logos from '77 (background) and '79 (foreground). A closer look shows no sign of paint on the '77 "turbo" script portion of the logo. But the anodized process could have been different as opposed to the "carrera" script or the "turbo" script from '79. Maybe the metallurgy was different. Maybe they were buffed out to look like a Euro car. Regardless, most original 3 litre cars that I've seen have this two-tone effect.

    Thanks Ryno, couldn't find them earlier.

    It's a shame 1975 is not on the radar?

    Good luck finding a 76 or 77 for anywhere near those values.

    If the car is a great example otherwise, it wouldn't take much to bring it back to original color.

    Can someone post the correct tire gauge that came or was available to purchase for the 1976 Turbo cars and the case.

    Please

    Happy New Year

    Indeed a worthwhile task, and we see more & more following this course as the cars become more appreciated. I bet his car will go back to original colors.

    FWIW it was for sale in 2014 as posted in this thread and is now being re-sold at auction.

    Ive been offered a very nice original black/tan 1977 car for $150k recently, but this one has a higher estimate.
