Well, Mr.Starkey has a project car for $300,000

As well as a $275,000 '67S

Oh, and an ex Penske/Donohue RSR made up of 'some bits' POA:

so what exactly is the RSR ? Is it the chassis number + a few bits that have been sold ? .. I assume with the idea of 'creating' the penske RSR ???

During the Edmonton race in August, Holbert’s co-driver, Milt Minter crashed the RSR and it was taken back to the Holbert Porsche-Audi dealership and stripped of parts (we have the photos). In 2008, Larry Holbert, Al’s son, sold the rights and some small parts through me to a restorer, who is currently rebuilding the car to it’s original, Daytona specification.

As it reads, 'some small parts' doesn't exactly add up to a complete RSR does it

I doubt whether the chassis could be considered a 'small part' or the engine/gearbox, etc?
Unless we're reading this incorrectly I would say chassis
identity plus maybe what, the tacho? the steering wheel?
Maybe we should give Mr. Starkey the benefit of the doubt until someone fills in on some details...

Lovely.

I think I'd rather FerryMans and the 200+k to spend on other fine motors.

- but thats just me.
