Concours Notes
Well, I am surprised at you guys. . . how could you fail to notice the rare factory option, the "Red Parts from Other Car" option M5653? Much like the "Secretary Cars," when this car was homologated by FIA, the inspectors showed up half an hour early, so Porsche had to borrow parts from one of the other cars on the line. Also, how could you overlook the super-rare "Inverted Steering Wheel" option- evidently a few cars had their steering wheels installed 180 degrees out of position after a few too many Warsteiners at lunchtime! But this makes it as rare as that original stamp with the airplane upside down. And it makes it so much easier to correct violent oversteer- the steering correction is already applied! The "Becher" radio also doubles as a cup holder, as "Becher" is the German word for "Cup" not like "Carrera Cup" but "Coffee Cup."
Details of these and the other concours touches can be found on page 962 of Paul Frere's book.
