Wonder how the yellow 916 is doing these days, it was owned by one of the Porsche gals as well. My old friend Otis Chandler acquired it in the early 1980s from the Porsche Family, he sold it to a collector about 10 years later. It went to a private Porsche museum in Japan. These cars didn't trade for much coin back then; it's all about the 6 and 7 figures today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It's alive and well, Marty, and featured in the new version of the book, Carrera RS. Restored but for the original brown paisley, as it isn't available. Owner has a house in Europe and the U.S. and is definitely one of us...forgot which house he keeps it at.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Way too often.

Been cleaning up after writers for 20 years, and in seeing the raw stuff have been amazed what some writers are willing to see printed with their name on it—or worse, commit a publisher to. The good news: The thoughtful writers outnumber the hip-shooters, in my experience.

From another post in this thread......

For those of you with an interest in this car, Brutus the prototype 916 and Corina Porsche's personal car, it will be featured in the RM auction in Paris, Feb 2019

https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19

The 916 is the rarest production Porsche ever made, and this one the prototype of the prototype, fitted with a 2.9 RS engine, and personally owned by a member of the Porsche family. What else could make it more valuable?



I can't argue with the provenance of Brutus but I would ask the question how do you know that this car is the "prototype of the prototype" How do know that there aren't other cars out there that are factory built steel roof cars?

9141430195 was the first one built, and the only one in 1971, the other 10 being '72s.

So Porsche built 11 916's all in SN sequence and are all 72's. Can't argue that. But how many other 914's have factory installed steel roof panels? The 908/914 that is in the museum and Brutus are two more besides the 916's. Are there any others that anyone is aware of?

I remember seeing the blue one a number of times back when it lived in N. California. Including seeing it driving on El Camino Real, leaving the Stanford Concours. And getting to crawl all over it in the parking lot of the Monterey Historics in 1998. I even have a couple of analog photos of it there...
