used your kind chart to assess the colour of filter box:

found the 6006 not that light,...maybe the light is different
@deQuincey; I have the feeling, based on the various pictures from original cars, and on colors that e3/e9 owners have choosen for their airbox, that the production at the time used various shades for the airfilter. I am not sure about it, but it is just a hunch. for a part where the color is not that important; who would care if it was a tad lighter one year vs the previous year? I know that where I work in our production of high end consumer products, it happens all the time.

This is it...
 
The refresh of the window gearboxes is cool. I had never seen pictures of that process. I tried and failed to fix one...
 
Found the karmann production number...




213 for a 10 may 1971 baujahre

So, was this correlative for e9 ? Were 212 cars before mine ?

Considering the 2800 was previously produced, is the 213 referring only to that year 1971 production ?

Mine, 3.0cs 74
wow !

being mine a 3.0CS too, can anyone make the cross check between the stamped number and the production numbers:


213 to 17556 = Delta = 17343 cars
5/1971 to 1974






this is mine, 2800 CSA july 1969


was that a 2800cs production figures from 1968 till july 1969 ? so 1877 cars ?
