wat dan ???????

About 17 years ago, I did some detailed history research on the JW Gulf Porsche 917. I had access to a lot of the correspondence between Porsche and JW Automotive Engineering. From this correspondence there is a letter (a copy, of which, I have in hand) from Helmut Flegl (Porsche's 917 project manager) where in addition to a lot of things about 917's, he makes note of the use of "Transporter, polizelieches Kenzeichen S-C 9003" being used to transport a crashed 917. The very next paragraph states that 5 "Reifen" were being supplied for "Transporter, polizelieches Kenzeichen S-YZ 32". The letter is dated: 20.10.1970. This would clearly establish that both "S-C9003" and "S-YZ 32" were with JW Gulf at the same time.

As a side piece of information, the Flegl letter also mentions "Mercedes-Werkstattwagen, polizelieches Kennzeichen S-YX 925" I assume that this is the identity of the small Mercedes truck seen in some photos.

The comment about a similar transporter fits my recollection of someone at Porsche (I think Jurgen Barth) telling us that the third one was sold to a private team. In fact I have some thoughts that he did tell us it was a BMW team.

Hier staat ook nog vanalles over Porsche transporters.
