78SC Doorplate Sticker Question?

[acapella8]

Does anyone know what this is? This is from my 1978 SC, driver side door panel. I've been told I have a Euro.

Thanks!

Interesting. I have a ROW 78 911 myself, and it doesn't have anything like that sticker on it. It does have some kind of owner identification sticker giving the original owner's name, I assume for anti-theft reasons.

To me, it looks like some sort of Euro Sticker indicating a specification of some sort.

Has anyone else seen a sticker like this?

My car does not have that.

They may be recall / service bulletin stickers??? My BMW has something similar

BS AU (British Standard (bsi) Automotive) is a goverment regulatory body not unlike our D.O.T. They set saftey standards for glass, restraining systems, lighting, tires etc... (referenced by Australia nd NZ as well)

I believe E is for the "United Nations/Euro" counterpart.

IMO, this sticker shows the different levels of safety compliance for the various world markets.

Here's a link for an early car that has the BSAU-48 tag.

That very well could be. The BSAU 48 appears to have been withdrawn in '82. Perhaps this sticker references a retrofit of some type.
