914.1.43.0163 is at the AA showroom (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I guess nobody knows for sure, but the number 17 is often called as the factory original production number the owner of this one from the Classic Mobil told me that only 6 of these rare cars were sold in Germany |

I remember a story about 20 years ago in Road & Track. I guy wrote in asking a question about his -6 sportamatic. They did a seach for him with Porsche and found out it was 1 of only 3 (or some other low number) that was ever brought into the States.
That is my entire knowledge of -6 Sportamatics. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Great looking cars Wolfgang, thanks for sharing them. I also have a few photos of another Signal Orange Sixer Sporto on my website, VIN 9141430120. I will add this one you found too. Attached image(s)

I also have this letter, which says only 5 Sixer Sportos, but keep in mind the date it was written. I thought I recalled that there were ~25 Sportos made?

The most official-looking word I've seen was in Panorama about eight years ago. The total number of production 914-6 Sportos was 25 cars. Four in 1970, and 21 in 1971. (I could have the years backwards.) Kerry Morse (I believe) had pestered the right people at the factory, and he had finally gotten a reply that there were 25 of them.
I've seen a silver one in the Bay Area, at a PorscHeaven swap meet. (That's how long ago it was; they weren't even PartsHeaven yet!) I think it was a dozen years ago, now. It was for sale at the time. Wish I'd taken pics. --DD |
