It was curious that when I looked at your 2009 thread I recognised the car I was about to post.

I know the chassis number of the car in my shot. Do you know yours?

Nope, I'm afraid.

But if yours is the original, it probably is the same car since mine seems to be a period shot.

I am sure your car is the original.....probably mine as well, because it was shown at Pebble Beach this year. (#50166)

Is this a case of "duplicate" historic 356 racers?

Here's one of my favorites, a T5 Notchback. This rare body shape is actually faster than a standard coupe.
The second is my own T6 356S Notchback (#202247) to illustrate the roofline. About to install the engine,
should be done with it by February. Street power is a 2.0 SC, I've also commissioned Dean Polopolous to build a 2.0 Polo 4.

there was one of those at Carmel Concours this year

That's one of the "Three Sisters", #202153. So called because 3 cars with sequential numbers (-152 & -154) are all the same color. We're a small group but have a little registry to account for the remaining Karmann hardtops, too many have been cut into cabriolets.

in this case I can confirm the number...
How many were made/are left?

Here is 200701 again....taken before I was fully geared for track shots

[henk4]

and here is 200795, shot at the Tour Auto this year

One more to add to the list ... it's unclear how many remain, we've only recently been gathering data.

By the way, Pieter a little researched showed me that #50166 is a 1953 Reutter Coupe, and the car of our pictures was entered by Manfredo Lippmann in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana. So it's probably the same car.

I am also almost sure it is, but it would not be the first time that a similar car (Pre-A Porsches can still be sourced for some money) would have been built up to emulate the original....
