Hi Pierre,

though I'm pretty well-informed about the 911 Porsche and its homologation versions, this one is new to me.
After the 73 RS and the 74 3.0 RS, most interest in 1976 was for the turbo-934.
Apart from club level, there was hardly any use in europe for a group 3 Carrera, perhaps for rallying. The GT championship was for group 4 cars.
And another weak point: for group 3 Porsche had to build 1000 cars in 12 months, so the car may be a works-prepared group 3 version of a normal Carrera - though I find it hard to believe that Porsche would sell 123 of them.
The fact that Porsche did not include a special manual wonders me too. Porsche even made manuals for the 956!
