Bill, I run the Porsche Club Gb register, have a Carrera 3 myself and know your car well having met the previous owner at several events.

The Porsche model years run from August for UK deliveries so the 1977 model year cars which yours is were delivered from August 1976. The quoted production and registration dates from the COA appear erroneous and in fact the DVLA database shows your car registered 1st October 1976 which is comensurate with it being #150 in a production run of about 1500 coupes.

Your car is also a non-sport model to which the spoilers and Fuchs rims have been added explaining why you have 1976 parts.

Altogether some 2500 C3 coupes were produced so it is not too rare but still resonably uncommon and prices appear to be on the up.
