Shame about the black window trims
But, thinking about the Viper Green car, if the price is right, it may well be worth considering:
- Assuming it is sound with its original integrity and no rust - it could be a lot of fun.
- Apart from some UK buyers, lhd RSs are generally considered better.
- If it's not cosmetically perfect, you can use it and enjoy it with less worry.
- You might be able to run it as a 'rolling restoration', gradually improving it as time and budget permit.
- If you buy well and invest sensibly, you shouldn't lose money
- Properly set up it should deliver the full RS experience
- And, when people ask, you can say "yes, it is genuine".

The picture of your Safari RS shows it to have a UK registration number. My books show the 2 1973/74 Safari cars to be registered S-AR-7909 (VIN #285 -Herrmann) and S-AR-7910 (VIN #288 - Waldegaard). There was one other car run in 74 for the Brirtish team of Fritchi and Moon, is this your car?here's a picture of my car on the Safari

its been interesting reading the thread on values etc; but at the end of the day, cars are like all the best things in life, they're worth what someone is prepared to pay for them!
And here's one, I think its fair to say, at the top end of the market.
Check out the milage ':shock:'
