'73 2.4S (ish) as M471 RHD

Feroz, I very much like your RS Replica and the better replicas you see. I could have taken my old white car to that level, and indeed Dan now has Interested to know if an RS Replica as discussed here, would have been worth more or the same had it been built on say a 1973 911L reshell at the time, to the same standard. i.e. does the origin of the reshell really matter ? One to debate or not.

IMO a 2.7RS replica based on a '73 donor shell should be worth (significantly) more than one built by 'backdating' a later shell.

I agree.

Thought you would say that Andy. Maybe once the Alfa is done, I will consider doing a proper job of a Replica.

Well well look what just appeared in the For Sale section on mobile.de and 'only' 83K Euro. Built on a 1973 shell

The ultimate RS replica is a period shell in one of the best colours (original to the shell) fitted with a real RS engine from a crashed car. The closest you could get to the real thing.

Wouldn't disagree with that, would I?

Or a '73 911 that was converted to 2.7RS spec from new using all Factory parts ...

Thanks Ian - I like it too

While it is a 73 MY chassis and has lots of correct RS part on it, I'll have to admit the engine was sourced form a 75 Carrera so not the "ultimate" . If anyone knows of a crashed 2.7 RS with a motor going spare, please let me know

Yep, that would trump all-comers to the table. But that is so rare (unique?) that we are unlikely to see another. Another great car that has passed through your hands. Went to Germany Andy?

Yes, Mike, sold to Dirk Sadlowski at PS Automobile.

One of the few cars I've owned that I regretted selling ....... maybe

[ChrisW]

So how many '75 Carerra 2.7's are there ?

The original car may have been worth more that this '73 2.7 replicar !

[Highfield]

Chris - FWIW I 'broke' a Targa to source the 2.7 engine for my car - now Dan's
