This is the other car I liked. I confess I walked by this car twice on the first day and it didn’t even register.
On the second day I stopped and looked, and the more I looked, the more fascinated I was.
I could see myself using this car. If I had an RS restored to perfection I’d then proceed to use it and tarnish it. This one you could use for anything and not worry about it. Aside from adding to the mileage you couldn’t hurt the value with the odd ding or scrape (or, god forbid, mud inside the wheel arches).
It’s a German delivered car, much later than the Orange car. Seemingly a one owner car in the hands of the original purchaser until very recently.
It came from the factory fitted as standard at the owners request with 2 door mirrors, electric sunroof and electric windows. The car sported an aluminium ducktail.
The Porsche dealer fitted a radio aerial that the customer wanted but he drilled it right next to the fuel filler.
The client didn’t like that and made them drill and fit it to the opposite wing (hence the existing 2 holes and blanking plates).
The dealer at the show claimed it was all original paint but I’d doubt that. It certainly had a lot of original paint but I’d say it probably had one outer paint job (albeit maybe some time ago). The sills had been worked on.
It was matching numbers and the engine had never been apart. Probably never even been out of the car. You couldn’t eat your dinner off it. The carpets were original. The headliner was original. The trim panels were original. Inside it smelt wonderful. It smelt 35 years old. The seats were houndstooth and the dealer claimed they had been replaced on the day of delivery with racing buckets and then stored only to be recently returned to the car in as new condition. I felt that was unlikely. I’d say they were original but recently re-trimmed.
It was also low miles. The mileage was 85,000km. Where do the dealers find ‘em? It was a remarkable car.
Asking price on this one? 250k Euros and it could be yours.
