1965+ 912. (Look at badge on engine cover). |

Little correction. With this badges it's 1967+ car. |

Generally we have too many early 911s and too little 912s.  The selling numbers were about 60/40 percent (912/911) in 1965-1969 period. In 1966 Porsche sold circa 9,000 912s and only 4,000 911s (!). I suppose many of 911s here are 912s truly. But we are blind due to the great nine-eleven legend. ;-) -- Last edit: 2010-03-30 17:36:13 |

To defend myself a little bit, someone had listed this car here as a 911 .gif ";)") |

There was even a 901, until Peugeot had enforced, that noone else uses numbers with a "0" in the middle as car-names. |

I guess this is a 911 S Sportomatic from 1969. This porsche is a long wheelbase model (LWB). the production of this LWB models started from the 1969 year model till 1973 The rear bumpers are equipped with reflectors and the wheels arches are slightly flared. The name on the hood "porsche" is written in Golden letter which was standard on 911 S models only a that time. Under the model number you can see there is a word written. The only inscription you could find under the number was "SPORTOMATIC" for 911 porsche equipped with an automatic clutch system. The film is reported to have been shot in 1969 so it only could be a 1969 car. Therefore, I think it is a 911S sportomatic porsche year 1969. |

I'll agree with some of these points, but ..... Agree 69 for lwb (and plate - I can't date D plates directly, but several book photos of 68-69 my 911s have S-H 79xx combinations) and the Sportomatic script. But this one does not have 911S alloys (also fitted to most - if not all - 911E); also Sportomatic started in 68 on 911T and 911L which bacame 911T and 911E for 69 onwards (never apparently on 912, and only on 911S from 72my when 2.4 started). So I go for 69 911T Sportomatic here, and badge looks like T. |

You cannot date German plates exactly, only, as you mention with the book, approximately in comparison with others from the same time (if not a wish-combination). |

As it is a movie the plates are probably not showing a real registration number. So one can not rely on such information to date this car. Thé L model as far as iknow was not in the 1969 catalogue. It is truie that the light alloy wheels were standard on 911 E or S and this car has standard wheels like 911T but I have always heard that golden letters were only on 911 s models. |

I checked my books and found that statement in one of them, although it seems contradicted by the captions in some of their photos, unless it only applied to 68my? Also noticed that car in thumbs looks pre-69 swb and does not have rubber insets on rear over-riders, so I think 2 cars used - maybe the thumb car is 67 912 as originally stated. |

Sure, possible and in fact very common in German movies, but this plate here looks indeed authentic, even with a combination, issued in serial for Porsche-owned cars. Faked plates are usually much worse made. The TÜV-sticker is green, as it seems. So it's for 1970, which means, that this car was registrated in 1968. The TÜV-period is 2 years. It came many years later (IIRC in the 80ies), that brand new cars, except rental cars, had 3 years as first TÜV-period. |

The car appears to have snow or mud tires on it. I imagine it is quite possible that the owner had a spare set of winter tires that he/she would swap out for inclement weather saving the alloys for normal summer/spring/fall driving. Standard wheels, being much less expensive than alloys, would probably be the choice for this arrangement. |

It can only be a '69 LWB model |
