    Really inreresting detail you catch. From what I remenber those WW plate was the plate while waiting final registration. The famous Jose Rosinski told he get the car just for few hours. I am sur he had a favour from Sonauto. Wonder wether those specific parts were change before the sale.
    I profite to Honour Rosinsky who leave us in 2011. I read and reread his papers from 60' 70' Sport Auto journal. just Perfect.

    The car was offered behind the scenes and it's not my place to put the VIN out there. Here is the COA though with colors and withholding VIN, Engine, Tranny #'s.

    Unusual to see the fitment for driver's only sport seat. The alloy wheels listed as an option were probably for the Comet vs. black Fuchs centers. Additionally, unusual to see a black headliner in a 1975 Turbo.

    The Mar ’75 Sport Auto Turbo is probably 9305700011 – the recirculating value housing also lacks the sensor lead that was on the production 3-liter Turbos. It would be interesting to find out if all of the 1975 Turbos made in late-1974 had these prototype features. Perhaps #0011 is still in France like #0012 is still in Great Britain.

    the French plate on this car is a WW plate, which is a temporary plate used by garages to allow the car to circulate on public roads in the absence of a proper registration. Maybe this car has never been registered in France. 92 is for the Haut de Seine province (west of Paris), probably where the Porsche garage was.

    Could be a temporary plate although there's still a possibility Porsche left the car in France after the 1974 Paris Salon.

    In Porsche 911, the Definitive History, 1971 to 1977 (Brian Long, Veloce Publishing), there's a photo in the Turbo section that is identified as S-CD 1337 although on closer inspection you can see it does not have rear bumper reflectors and is also sans the Turbo badge. Perhaps there was another Viper Green Metallic Porsche Turbo made in 1974 (0013-0019?) that had some prototype features like S-CD 1337 and GLP 870N.

    I removed my rear parcel shelf yesterday (an easy 5 minute job) and was surprised to see that it still has the original Blaupunkt speakers installed. The shelf also has the production number inked on the lower section similar to a RoW 1976 Turbo parcel shelf that I have (image below) and also the one that Jamie posted: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144318440-post5127.html I believe my 1976 parcel shelf also has the original Blaupunkt speakers installed and noticed that the design changed from 1975 to 1976. The 1975 speakers are about 1/2 inch taller and have four large rectangle cutouts vs. the smaller circular cutouts on the 1976 speakers. Blaupunkt may have used a date code for their speakers but I have not found a reference on how to decode them.

    I've also noticed that top of the 1975 and 1976 Turbo parcel shelf's are made out of fiberglass. Was this standard for 911s through the 1970s/1980s?

    Agreed. It was not uncommon these days that motor show cars remained in the country where the show took place. I am in Paris, so I will see if someone can tell me where the car is. If it is still here I may be able to track it down.

    For a single test drive don't you think it would have been a W iso WW.
    W was the real garage plate and WW for cars sold waiting for definitive registration. W could be use on different car, WW delivered for a single car. Considering this, everything is possible..
    Kept buy the garage owner, sold, etc...
    My car wait one year before final registration and I don't think it was difficult to find clients.

    For the country sticker , I would say the wrong country for the french WW Plate.

    Your scan is very precise, i wonder if we don't see sign of the original plate under the 2 of the WW92. Would not match with the 7 of CD 1337 considering the last sign is on the very right of the plate.
