    Snails v banjo horns

    Can anyone help with a timeline when snails swapped to banjos in the 1970 model please

    Thanks folks it seems for sure an early 70 car had snails and that was what I was trying to establish.

    Looks like I was a year out too and snails may have changed early in the 1971 year model

    Clyde, Not as conclusive as linking Bosch sport fanfaren to a vin of unmolested 911 but as a more general datapoint this advert in christaphorus magazine of August 1969 seems to suggest it was new product to market around then. “The new bright red sports fanfare” Advert is generic the publication is Porsche however. Not sure is it is the first time the Bosch fanfare advert appeared in the Porsche in-house magazine.
