Nicest Porsche I have ever driven, I am at one with this fantastic car.
R Gruppe guys in CA, you know how to build a car. After 3 yrs I still get
excited with the bark from the Dansk and the feel thru the momo wheel.
We had a brillant outing yesterday, one very fast exciting car.
More action photos to follow, Engine is on U tube it was put up about 4 yrs
ago by the previous R Gruppe owner.

That is beautiful.
What's the deal with the clear lenses? I really like those.
Clear indicator lenses

I think they are available on Pelican or Vertex Automotive, I prefer the original euro ones !
Do you think I should put the decals back on the car ?

Lovely looking car, and yes to subtle graphics as they suit the 'sports purpose' image

Thank you for your opinions, it will be done , watch this space ! Might fit a half cage ?. Would Martini decals be too much
Hereunder is the engine sound link, its not a 2.0 as discribed on U tube but
2.4. " Makes a beautiful noise, as sound that I Love !!"

Since having recently driven a GT3 RS and 993 turbo, and if I want to get one, I need to make space and funds. If I get an attractive offer or a suitable P/X, I would consider it. As my current cars are all pre 73.
