Stunning colour especially in the sunshine. Looks like a beautiful car. RHD too. Have to say that ducktail doesn't look like mine. Or is it the camera angle? Exhaust skirt and rear Neff bar nice features too.
Any interior shots James?
Regards
Mike

Mark Waring and 'ROO4' were featured on the TV programme I stumbled across last Sunday night, 'Top Marques' on Discovery. Must say this car stole the show for me and looked and sounded great in the 'action' shots. iirc Mark states there were only 11 73rs in that colour, of which only just the 1 is rhd, 9 went to Europe and 1 to Mexico... The show was filmed in 1996.

it was a coincidence meeting
no photos of the interior, but it was a very nice touring spec.
Bob reckoned it was one of the nicest cars he has driven and said it drove just like a new car that stepped out of teh showroom ....... it's meant ot have around 66K miles from new

That car is early chassis number , lovely lightweight panels everywhere, refurbished sympathetically by Chris at 911 Bodyshop in Wembley.........happened to see it at various stages ...............tried to persuade owner he did nt really want it , Bob does a couple of the guys cars , think he does some rallying .................IMO a sgood as they get !

Therefore the RHD car in James' photos is ROO4? Or else it's had a colour change?

Exactly my thoughts too and I had heard the car had gone to the USA following Mark's ownership. When he sold it, it did have approx 60000 original miles on the clock.
(when I said on a previous thread it was the only one in that colour in the world I did mean the only RHD. As confirmed above there were a few Jade Green in LHD).

And ROO4 had/has a nerf bar (although I can't recall a muffler skirt?).
All too much of a coincidence, surely?

Trying to find my photos of Roo when I went back to the factory with Mark in 1998 - they're around here somewhere. I also remember her having a budge bar on the back.
