T 6 cabriolet hand throttles

#1 Post by Brett Johnson »

Please forgive me if this has been covered before. Porsche documentation states that the last cars fitted with hand throttles were Karmann coupe 211430 (8/22/62), Reutter coupe 121500 (8/24/62) and Reutter cabriolet 157200 (5/9/62). The cabriolet date seems a little pre-mature. Any real car data points out there?

It would be additionally helpful to know the build dates of the last cars installed with a hand throttle.

I can get build dates on most cars, if you don't have them -- I'd like to hear from cabriolet owners a little higher than 157200...
