'73 RS colours

I think the plastic 'Carrera RS' badge was originally used on Touring models that were optioned without the side & ducktail decals.

Andy,

This is an interesting observation that I hadn't thought of before. The cars I have seen with the plastic 'Carrera RS' badge have them on the rear AL lid with a ducktail delete. Like your Liliac rear lid if I remember correctly.

Mike - the ex-Ferry Porsche RS originally came sans ducktail & was equipped with cookie Cutters.

When Brian Burrows bought the car from Russell Edmonds, it had been repainted (still in its original colour) & the original hand-painted dark green Carrera sidescripts/engine lid scripts had been replaced with black decals. The car also had colour-coded 6" & 7" Fuchs.

I can't remember the name of the guy that bought it from BB but he replaced the decals with some hand-painted graphics & added the ducktail/7"&8" Fuchs.

Do you guys get the magazine Excellence? The current issue (August '07) has a fantastic article written by Georg Kondradsheim about his quest to own this cool RS. He finally bought it several years ago and has it looking and running very well. Be sure to take a look at the article if you can.
