Taking a nice, genuine, early chassis RS and turning it into something that looks like a poor replica?

I'm with you... I quite like the blue mind ( I would say that) but the red on the bonnet makes it look like its got a ruddy great big ship anchor on the front. That said, it seems like a realistic price - ( did I see it priced in euros? ) If so is that's not a bad price ... ?

Don't know why I'm asking really, not in that kind of market really and if I was, that wouldn't be the one I bought...

Because he can afford it and everyone is an individual? Would look good on a start grid I think - eyecatching.

I agree with John - it makes a change from the endless Grand Prix White/blue, etc.

It also makes a refreshing change for someone to turn their RS into what they want rather than being scared to make any modifications for fear of detracting from what the 'market' dictates.

This car will be auctioned in Padua tomorrow, and I saw it this afternoon.

I think that price is somewhat correct, but it will be difficult to find another buyer that really wants to race a real RS IMO.

regards,
Andrea

Im with you on making something what you want (the number of times my missus told me to paint mine black) :o)

Still think its hideous though

A friend that was at the auction reported to me that the Rs was bid to around €150k, but he didn't understand if it was sold or not.

An interesting one in the dealers hall was this one IMO:

It's Rs #1146, one of the very few in royal purple. I remember this one when was for sale in Milan in 1998, an outstanding original 2-owner car. I didn't have the money to buy it, was bought by a guy that has raced it in historical events since then. Original engine was quickly blown and a 2.8 one was rebuilt around a replacement block. Original case comes with the car.
Dealer was asking Eur170k but it remained unsold.

Ciao,
Andrea
