Almost unbelievable ...

[ChrisW]

So I walked into OPC Leeds yesterday morning and ??

There in the corner was ....

This Light Yellow 2.7RS --- a RHD lightweight with less than 1000Kms on the clock ...

And incredibly, it's been completely fettled by Porsche with new parts throughout and an original 2 year new warranty ....
OMG ... why was I so generous with the Kids ???

 

[chrishak]

How did you manage to keep the armed guards out of the photo?

 

[ChrisW]

Unfortunately not a lightweight !!
But still wonderful ??

 

[Phil Pease]

Stunning!... thinking of selling the kids! []

 

[MickHudson]

I WANT IT !

 

[Nick Moss]

1000 miles? It's not the original speedometer, should be in MPH not KPH. Just one of many incorrect details, include the rims.

 

[ChrisW]

I think it may have been an HK car ??

The work is supposed to have been done by Porsche themselves .... ??

Maybe they mean the local Porsche Approved body shop as opposed to the Porsche factory (museum) where they do restore cars.

Still stunning car and yes I would love to drive it although I would never give up my 3.2 without a fight

The M471 at Lovetts (Porsche Swindon) is a better investment IMO.

More details here. Have also seen the car and it's stunning (as is the price)!

"This is the only car to be completely restored by Porsche AG using lightweight panels indeed Porsche AG manufactured for the first time since the original production run the lightweight panels for this car only, This is the only 911 2.7 RS in history to be restored by Porsche AG"

"This is the only 911 2.7 RS in history to be restored by Porsche AG"

I don't think that's true.

Agree - would have thought another would have passed through their classic restoration service.

There was an article in Christophorus a few years ago, about one they did - white with red IIRC.

I saw the car in the classic restoration workshop a few miles away from the factory,not the museum, along with a m471,of which not much of the original car was left apart from the dash and fuel tank panel.They do some fantastic work,but get the odd detail wrong.
you should have seen the 356 speedster waiting to be collected by the owner from hongkong,they showed me the build book that porsche do for each restoration,simply stunning,at a cost!

*Allegedly* The car was sold recently as-is for £950k. Buyer elected not to collect - but instead 'flip' the car and he is now selling it for £1.1m.

Asking

It is still lovely, but a difficult thing to own as anything other than an investment ....
On the basis of which ... when they are the same price as a McLaren 650S (new) I may be interested !!

Strangely P do not have a car in this category ...

Otherwise, my 2.4S does this job for me
