Looks very nice. One less RS in existence though.

Wheel / arch relationship looks odd . Unless I’m just used to seeing cars sat a little lower

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
They are also selling separately the 2.4s engine that came out of the car. It will be interesting to see what it fetches.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
would have thought it would have been better to sell the car with the original motor and sell the genuine RS motor seperately ( EDIT .. just read the 2.4 is non matching anyway so that probo explains it )DarthMJH wrote:They are also selling separately the 2.4s engine that came out of the car.

Even fitted with a non-matching S engine I would have thought selling the RS engine separately would bid higher combinedhot66 wrote:would have thought it would have been better to sell the car with the original motor and sell the genuine RS motor seperately ( EDIT .. just read the 2.4 is non matching anyway so that probo explains it )

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
For me the numbers are just eye-watering. £118k resto (car driven 158 miles since). £70k to buy and rebuild the RS motor.
And I love the commentary... "Inside, the re-trimmed blue leather upholstery is in great shape, with only a few very minor creases on the seats." How can there be minor creases on re-upholstered seats that have done 158 bottom-miles?
Fascinating!

I would have thought that with the amount of money spent on the car they would have sourced/fitted the correct wheels (these are later ones) ...

Is it’s just the centre caps that make them different? My knowledge isn’t good enough on that topic

I know what you're saying - maybe it's the angle and height setting but on this picture (excuse massive picture) the rear wheel to arch looks quite strangehot66 wrote:im still convinced something isnt right with the rear wheel / arch relationship

How much do you think a good restoration can be done for then if £118k is eyewatering?gridgway wrote:For me the numbers are just eye-watering. £118k resto (car driven 158 miles since). £70k to buy and rebuild the RS motor.
