718RSK

[Marvel1]

Thanks for the add to the forum. About 15 years ago I had a 718RSK kit which had been imported from South Africa. I rebuilt it and raced it in hillclimbs and sprints. It ended up in Australia and is currently for sale. I thought that itch had been scratched but when I was offered a part complete kit Mrs Marvel said I had to have it. That was seven years ago. When the car raced in the 1959 Le Mans 24hr by Ed Hugus and Ernie Erickson came up for auction with a price guide of $4-5M I decided to build mine as a replica. I’m planning on driving it to this years LM24.

Welcome! Sounds great. Would be good to see some pictures of your car

I must confess to not normally being a fan of the RSK kit, even though John Jobber of GP and I were greatest of friends, but I have to say that looks superb! Brilliant!

When you upload, use the drop menu to choose the size. I usually use 17in monitor...

I think I’ve a few pictures from a recent visit to the Porsche Museum that may be of help/interest.

I’ll do some homework on how to post pictures and will add later
