hugh Posted 12January, 2022 Report Share Posted 12January, 2022 People do realise that the ‘S’ is the base G series car, no to be confused with the 901 model ‘S’ cars? Maybe I’m missing something? micknine01, crsedge and 9er 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m missing something? As @Yeatesymentioned in 74 there were 3 models. 150hp base, 180hp S and the 210hp Carrera. My car is odd because the VIN says it is a base but it has S suspension (not interchangeable) and also the better S brakes.

Coastr Posted 13January, 2022 Report Share Posted 13January, 2022 7 cars delivered 😮. Geez the import duties and shit economy back in the day were a killer. Still, you could drive fast anywhere with a 6 pack in the passenger seat, so there is that. Yeatesy and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting the large number of Sportomatics delivered. Much higher number than I would expect from my observations of current sales. I assume a large number have been converted to manual.

They were relatively new and novel back then, and the factory were also encouraging dealers and distributors to emphasise the Sportomatics in their sales efforts. Fast forward 10 or so years and the sportos got a reputation as being unreliable, and hard to get parts for….. so many cars were converted to manuals. whilst at uni in the 90s I helped a Sydney based Porsche mechanic move premises, and we threw away something like 20 sporto transmissions, keeping only 1 or 2 of the different types.

That's the case with mine Jeff & I wouldn't have thought the sporto would have been that popular either. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
