Great news, much better than holding it at Duxford, car events there never seem to work there.

Should be good. What year was the S first introduced? 67? Did it run to 77?

The 'S' models were top of the heap for Porsche road cars from 67-72. They were the most powerful and fastest. In 1973 this crown was taken by the limited production run 2.7RS ( originally was going to be a 2.7S ). This lead to 1974, the top of the range was labelled the Carrera and the lowly bottom of the range gained the 'S' badge :(

1967 2.0S
1968 2.0S
1970 2.2S
1971 2.2S
1972 2.4S
1973 2.4S
