Request for information on the 1974 ROW Carrera
Anyone have any photos or brochures? Road tests would be particularly helpful. I'm only interested in ROW information.
Thanks.

ROW '74 Carrera material
dd,
ROW brochures for 74 came in the standard formats of a larger prestige a4+ size and a smaller two page teaser.The ones I have are 1035.20(large) and the small is not numbered.Both have the same orange 2.7 Carrera German market car on the cover/s and the large brochure I have is a GB issue.Both show the 3 models for that year but I don't know of a separate brochure for the Carrera. Road tests are hard to come by as the 74/75 production was ruined by the first oil crisis.The only ROW tests I have are in the Brooklands reprint book 911 Carrera 1973-1977.This contains one Australian test in '74 and two 1/2 UK tests in '75. These two years models were essentially identical except for the rear spoilers,so the data and opinions should be fairly consistant. The '75 UK Motor figures give a 0-100 mph time of less than 15 seconds.Not too shabby even today! I have had a '75 Targa version for the last 13 years with the mighty typ 83 motor behind me and it has been a neverending source of driving pleasure.If you can get hold of one to drive or better still,own,do so!!Too bad you Yanks couldn't get this model when new. I now have my car for sale.RHD anyone? Dennis.
