As a new owner of a Carrera 3.0 I am quickly discovering that not all Carrea 3.0's are the same nor is there a single resource for parts or servicing specs etc.
For instance my Carrera 3.0 has a 4th January 1976 build date but Porsche calls it a 1977 model and some parts are 1976 only parts and some are 1977 parts. I know the model was made for only two years in small numbers, how many are left hand drive, right hand drive, Targa or Coupe, what options were factory supplied etc. I'd like to know how rare my 1977 UK supplied RHD Sienna Metallic Sunroof Coupe is.
What I would like to try is a call to all Carrera 3.0 owners to add pictures and any specific Carrera 3.0 part numbers and or servicing info specific to the Carrera 3.0 or anything else specific to these amazing cars.
I know there is a Carrera 3.0 Registry which my PO registered with and I updated but it is not a ready open resource for running them on a daily basis.
My car according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity supplied by Porsche Cars Great Britain Limited that the PO obtained says:
