The 'Maverick' Classic Porsche Forum and Classic Porsche Club for Porsche 356, Aircooled Porsche 911, Porsche 912, Porsche 914 & Porsche Replicas. 'We join for the cars but stay for the people'
There`s a lot of blurb but looking at the list of "features" most of that could be added in a weekend. ( ) It`s the engine description that I find cryptic... 1973T, rebuilt to 2.4S spec with 2.2S pistons, a 7R case and carbs... ? is this a brilliantly conceived R Gruppe style hotrod, or is it a schizophrenic mismatch ?
A few years ago it seemed that the mere addition of a grp ducktail &, if not already present, a set of SC rear flares justified calling a car an RS 'replica' (etc) - now swapping the ducktail for a plain engine lid transforms any such car into an 'ST' ...

“Adding power makes you faster on the straights; - subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere”
that car annoys me...I saw it at Tuthills and after that I really wanted an ST. trouble was I couldnt find one, or a sensibly priced year correct starting point
no sooner have I finished my RSR rep in the same colour...it pops up for sale...and definitely less than it would have cost to build!
Megane R26R
Discovery Sport
Defender 110
BMW R9T

Must be " a brilliantly conceived R Gruppe style hotrod" !!!!! - here it is ( in it's previous Tour de France guise ) at the R Gruppe Treffen - @ around 49 seconds on the Video.
