          • Nice period shot. Note that the Heini Walter car clearly shows certain tip-off details that this is a customer car from that short run, and not an ex-works machine.
            Specifically:
            Wendler badge
            Porsche badge and lettering on the hood
            Tan/parchment upholstery
            Upholstery on inner door tops (never on factory RSK's)

            Also note the two additional plates just visible on the right underside to strengthen the area where the long-distance tank sat. (all cars so equipped).

            Great to see a caption with details!!
