“Chassis 9113601175 was built to Touring specification (472), and according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity was originally equipped with Sports Seats (409), headrests (258), 3-point safety belts (419), Electric Antenna (441) and Rear Impact Protection (569). The car was initially supplied by Glocker Sportwagen GmbH, Frankfurt, in May 1973 to Harald Palleck and remained with him until 1995 before being passed to its second owner, Sig. Vezzini, in Italy. During his ownership, a full and exacting restoration was undertaken between 1996 and 1999. The third owner, Nicola Sardi, purchased the car in 2008, keeping it just North of Genoa before selling it to the current owner who imported it into the UK.
Finished in the original Porsche colour of Light Yellow, with black leatherette and corduroy interior, this 2.7 RS Touring retains its original engine and gearbox and presents beautifully. Mechanically, although no invoices are on file, it's believed that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt as the car performs particularly well. Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, current MoT certificate, handbooks, photos of the restoration and sundry invoices, this gorgeous car can now be registered in the UK or exported worldwide.”
The owner must be devastated. A yellow RS might not be too difficult to spot but even if it were disguised the most obvious outward clue to watch for is the electric aerial and its position. Rare in an RS and not easily changed. Most thieves may not realize this is unusual.
How on earth (without breaking it up) is someone going to pass it on?
Regards
Mike

What a nice car, devastated he must be indeed.
These stolen cars are never (on here) reported to have been found. The classic car press say classics rarely come back to the owners no matter what make or even value.
Time will tell.

pretty high profile case this, £.45m ++ car gets nicked. Wonder if the police actually got involved with this bearing in mind the sum involved Or if they just treated it like any old nicked ford and didn't show the blindest I wonder what the circumstances were. Sure we'll keep an eye open....
John just gave me the heads up on this tonight on FB what a shame i hope it's found.
I think a number of these cars being stolen are heading overseas in containers.. With the lack of checks at the ports these days it's been a common thing to happen..
having said that a number of cars stolen do tend to be parked up for abit to see if trackers are working.. I hope some one finds it.. it's not nice to have your pride and joy stolen.. I often think of Mike and his nice daily 911 he had ... did that ever get recovered?
