RUF 944S For Sale

[John Sims]

Saw this thread and laughed - oh how I laughed, thought someone was putting my car up for sale - but realised mine isn't Ruf

Don't you mean - "Mine isn't a RUF either."

When you have been on forum for many years the same, wet footwell, broken heater clip, dead clock posts can get a bit boring. I quite like a bit of Troll Wrestling every now and then...assuming it is only every now and then.

 

[924Srr27l]

Not a popular car then ?
Does anyone else hate it, or love it for any other reasons besides the go faster stripes and History?

Cars ok if you like that sort of thing Todger, think it's you that's not popular.

Gentlemen, surely if the OP upsets everyone so badly then when a thread is started and you see the avatar - scroll on past, don't comment - simples, and then everyone can play nicely without saying anything []

I agree Andy but he insists on getting involved in other people's posts with nothing relevant to say.

example is Paul Ruddy's restoration thread that Mike had to remove a number of post due to it going off topic due to his unwanted input.

i appreciate that a Forum is an open medium and it is difficult to sensor opinion but surely if he has been told to stay off a thread then he should oblige and do as requested?

To be fair that was partly my fault and this forum did used to have a reputation for it - some threads went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic in the past, bit like this one! My coupe was also serviced my RUF in the past must be why it did so well on dyno days (nothing to do with the turbo change etc.)

Pictures of that car are close to breaking this rule for some

So your significant other calls you "924Srr271" then? That must come out quite spontaneously in the throws of passion no doubt.

You choose to ignore the "Proper names" rule and yet quote that and others?

There is no denying it is rather "Special"

And, agreeing with Tony, threads ricocheting all over the shop is a bit of a 944 institution

Where to start?

Probably because almost everything about it is FAKE!

It isn't a RUF

It isn't a race or rally car. Aside someone removing the carpets and interior trim (probably while chasing rampant rust), it has no features which qualify it as a race or rally car. So, again, it is a pretended wannabee.

And, the pictures are so obviously doctored and photo shopped that you can't believe anything you see in them.

I just feel sorry for the poor suckers who have bid it up above £6K as I think you would struggle to recover that even in stripping it down for parts.

Wow, your a Brave man admitting to your car having service history from what some seem to suggest is a bogus company that was nothing to do with RUF Germany, well done..

I'm sure if you ever come to sell your car, or anyone on here also with this documented history from the UK arm would also refer and declare these 3 letters RUF on any such advert.

If you choose to believe the two "RUF" companies are one and the same then that is your privilege.
On the evidence available, I choose to believe there is no connection between the "RUF" that looked at this car and the well known German Porsche builder.

I cannot understand how anyone would think the German company would of allowed someone in the Uk to not only trade under this name for years but also use their Logo on headed paper without their affiliation, approval and consent etc..?

There's nothing about it that's fake at all ?

The Advert title says : Porsche 944 (Space) RUF-Automobile History & Receipts (Full stop) Race, Rally, Trackday
All of these are also Key words inputted for search function, don't tell me you've never seen this done before people do this all the time..

The Main advert Context does NOT say it's a Race car does it? it actually says
"it's Track prepared to Spec yet fully road registered" you should know this means it's not a Race car or a Rally car.

A remarkable history file, a near complete restoration (Documented) and extensive service history with Paragon, Strasse & OPC
+ RUF ! does this sound like some cut and shut, stolen and recovered, crock of of a basket case ??

Fair enough a select few of you don't like the look of it, a few of you have been confused about it being a RUF car but I've covered that and had confirmation from RUF UK that's it's been in the hands of the Previous UK RUF concern which closed some years ago.

Some people like Modifying their car's, and like other modified cars. Some prefer total originality, each to their own but this thread has quite cleared illustrated a select few have seen it nothing more enjoyable to not only pick out the utmost detail with this car, which seemingly if I or anyone else dare question receives abuse and personal insults.

Some of you should think more about all the hundreds of views and other members on this forum that watch, take it all in and rightly will not entertain joining in for fear of also being attacked.

Probably better described as ROUGH.
Sounds the same though.

Do we presume by the fact that you have been in contact with RUF UK and confirmed the details you describe that you are interested in buying this car?

 

[wolfie308]

Or maybe even stranger......could it be Roger who's actually the seller?

 

[John Sims]

I mean, fair enough, some service stamps with RUF on them from 20 years ago is certainly something to consider. As is an engine rebuild on a 130K engine 20 years ago......NOT and NOT!

With due respects the seller is doing all he possibly can to pass the car off as a RUF. "Porsche 944 RUF-Automobile History and Receipts. Race,Rally,Track day" I stand by my earlier summary FAKE.

 

[ronald smith]

Hi All,Agree with Monkeythree about the troll-think this car is a perfect fit for Wodge - a fake RUF.
Cheers

No, I'm interested in Porsche transaxles and their history, maybe others should follow suit rather than throwing obscenities all the time.


The MD of RUF UK confirmed the previous RUF affiliated UK company (before his) had serviced and modified many car's the same as RUF Germany do also as well as produce rare new models which are all bespoke and made to order for specific customers.

He said Porsche's do hold more value with work done on them by RUF Germany or the UK even though they are not a RUF from new.

Oh dear John, "You are Grumpy"

It's a Porsche Modified by RUF Uk "Get over it" , there are a lot of Porsche's modified by RUF Uk & Germany, but a 944 is very rare as they mostly specialise in the 911 model.

So you are a time waster AND a tyre kicker []

No, I didn't attend.
