Ultimate ST thread

Hugh,

JCK listed the license plate for 911130612 as S-Z 7670 on PBase Have you come across this plate before? In a similar vein, has a serial number been established for S-Z 7940?

No I have not come across that one - but not surprising if it was Larousse's company car - would have been more likely to come across it as a press car as they were photographed and published

I am 99% certain that S Z 7940 was 911 130 0558

There is this page on the website of the Porsche RS Club of France, which pays tribute to Louis Meznarie a few months after his death.

Here is the french link : https://porscheclubrsdefrance.com/re...sa-carriere/4/


And here is the translation of the website : https://porscheclubrsdefrance-com.tr..._x_tr_pto=wapp



There is quite a bit of information that does not fit with pbase, borderline contradictory. In any case, 0612 is mentioned as the car in the 1972 4H of Le Mans with Sylvain Garant (pbase says it was 911 010 1605). And Meznarie's grey 911 is mentioned as 0642 (911 130 0642 ??)...

On the 1972 4 hour race I agree with Pbase but it is clear that with swapping plates, having incorrect information about vin and engine numbers on event entry forms (at least in one occasion that I am aware of) it is very hard to tie down "the facts"
I was told (second hand) from Meznarie in 2016 after I sent some questions to him about 9110300949 and the plates it was wearing which were "borrowed" from Meznarie's T that " at le mans 4 hour in 1972 (Louis Meznarie (F)) Sylvain Garant according to Meznarie this is his T chassis 911 01 01 605) that Louis had prepared for competition and that he rented it here and there."
this is it in that event


That Porsche RS club de France article is a very good source although I think that there are some inaccuracies (but possibly due to memory lapses) and I especially like the part about him building the race engine from the 914/6 block which went into 9110101605

JCK seems to be in good shape these last few days, after adding 911 130 0612 on April 26th, and he just added two new 911 STs a few hours ago:


- 911 230 0827: The third Kremer (yellow)


- 911 030 1054: green psychedelic by Reinhardt Stenzel





JCK : if you see this, don't forget to add 911 230 0538 : D

I barely have time to post a message, JCK has made a new update with 2 other cars:


- original Bonomelli 1972 911 S car : chassis 002 0005

- Normandy 911 that race 3 times the Tour de France Automobile : 911 030 1046

Does 0005 qualify as a vehicle of a private runner in its main stage? Not as an S/T factory, correct?

it is worthwhile looking at his page and comments on RSR 9113601159: an un raced USA car but the 002 0005 car was sold as that vin in 2008 at Bonhams and has only recently been returned to its vin 002 0005 which WAS the car with the amazing race history purported to be 1159 in the sale https://pbase.com/archive_racing_porsche/n_911_360_1159
