Is that you Phil in the driver seat? Awesome... Thanks for sharing. Would love for lots of others to share pics of their rides as often as they can!
In addition to 1975 Turbos, I wonder if tax-free status also includes 1976 Turbos made prior to Jan 1, 1976? Any car constructed before January 1, 1976 is now eligible for historic status in the eyes of Her Majestys Revenue and Customs. Top 15 tax-free classic cars - Cars

Interesting to see how few 930 ROW are currently for sale compared to US ones. It is very difficult to come up with a quotation for a ROW 930 3.0 in Europe at the moment. The few that are for sale are US models, lemons or molested. That last decent one I saw was a black 75 at Thiesen which was reportedly sold for about 420.000 euros a few month ago (restored, not even original).
Interesting observation ... I would agree that ROW 3.0 are difficult to find even in Europe where I assume the majority was originally sold. I suppose the attrition rate on the ROW was higher due to them being mostly driven hard and on the account of the dreaded salt on German roads.
Wrong tail lights. Wrong center caps in the wheels. Becker Mexico Stereo is unusual but possible. COA would need to be requested. Weird over-spray on the VIN sticker in the door and on the body along with it. The rear PORSCHE reflector looks like it's the ghost version? or whatever the heck people call it whereby the letters are faint?

The Ralph Cutright Porsche + Audi dealer installed the Becker Mexico for $350. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144020370-post4143.html
Here is the car discussed earlier on this thread, prior the consignor adding the turbo graphics. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/porsche/344030-930-turbo-carrera-208.html#post144020881
In Ryan's new 2.7 Carrera book in 1976- 5% of the MFI Carrera's were emerald green, hard to know if this same percentage would apply to 76 turbo's but the information must exist at Porsche. Phil

Agreed. And so many were transformed into race or rally cars. For example, my neighbour here has one of the earliest 75 but the car looks like anything but a 930 now and he keeps modifying it... I considered buying it, but it would cost a fortune to bring back to its former glory... Also a number are sold off-market, like many classics now. This is actually how I bought mine. I do not even talk about auction sales. Unfortunately, auctions nowadays no longer bring out the nicest examples, unlike some time ago. The ones that come to auctions are often the ones that would not sell easily otherwise. Beautiful examples sell at price and do not need to go to auctions. This is also why auctions prices probably do not reflect real market prices. That's the classic market-for-lemons problem.
1977 Turbo Carrera, Chassis # 9307800142. On the PCNA COA, a very rare true delete" the Turbo Carrera designation on the tail. Turbo Carrera badges were added later, albeit the Turbo badge in the wrong location. 1977 Used Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 Liter at Driver Source Serving Houston, TX, IID 14189298 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Attached are pictures of the 76' 930 currently for sale at early911s in Germany. Apparently one of the very first '76. Not yet in the 930 3.0 registry. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
