RS Replicas

[Robin]

Thanks for your ponderings about the modified cars, I just wondered how many were out there and it seems that the general feeling is, no one knows, oh well it was just a thought.
May I wish you all a Happy Christmas and an enjoyable New Year.

Happy Christmas to you and Jo .....

I might be mistaken, but isnt that the old Porscheshop RS Replica car, that had it for many year and then moved it on.

Ok,
can somebody make sense of this one for me:
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2344561.htm   - I thought they'd mixed up the picture/text but maybe not. However well executed the conversion, why?

Hi Tony , I'm sat at home surveying the icy landscape and not planning to go anywhere....so I will jump in on the thread instead !

That blue car is a strange beast that looks like the result of  'Lord Sugar's  would-be apprentices being given the run of Porscheshop's parts bin . More evocative of a 964RS than a 2.7RS especially if you ignore the ducktail.
I dont think its trying to be a replica however , so no-one should get confused unless they know absolutely nothing about 911s.

I reckon its worth 'a little' for a fun car to to track with if the brakes engine and suspension all hold up and the rust has not dined too well. Its a cheerful colour and has a certain jauntiness , the sort of thing Des might find growing on him after a nice bottle of claret []........if I found myself at the auction on the day I might even wave my catalogue []....fortunately the estimate and likely reserve is set too high for that to be likely .

At the risk of upsetting a genuine owner of an RS 2.7. Today, whilst out in my 64 RS in Old Windsor on the A308 (towards Runneymede) saw a lovely white on blue, looked absolutely great. I only say rep, as the salt and grit waggons were out last night. The reg DWC ***L - Anyone??? A great sight I must say!!!

Hope you were out in the undersealed one Simon []

It did look good though, striking. What do you reckon Melv a pucker RS??

 

[Barty964rst]

Was indeed out in the Touring, so hopefully minimal effect on the underside. Thanks for your concern Tony!

 

[Melv]

Would you???

No, I'm going with a Rep and a good one at that. Will have to stalk it down next time I'm out for a jaunt!
Is that Legal????
