This is an unrestored car with tool box and owners manual.
BlackPearl: yes, it is an original model.
We have only 7 Carrera RS in Brazil.

Agreed, very nice to see such an original RS. This is chassis # 9113601575, a very late production RS.
The RS cars that were imported into Brazil are very interesting. There were 15 RS cars imported into Brazil originally. They were all Tourist delivery and were all very highly optioned. Oddly enough they all had black headliners too, which was standard for the Lightweight or Sport model M471, but not the Touring model M472. All cars had at least 11 or more options listed. This is the only Black RS imported to your country. Oh, and many of the imports had no rear spoiler.
Maybe you can help me out by finding out the story behind these unique circumstances by asking the owner of this RS if he knows why they all were ordered as a Tourist delivery and with so many options.
This car was ordered with:
102- 2 stage heated rear window
220- Limited slip diff.
258- Head restraints right and left
419- Retractable seat belts right and left
432- Above bumper additional long range driving lights
459- Round iodine lights below bumper
461- Power antenna
468- Becker Mexico radio
482- Engine compartment light
650- Sunroof
651- Power windows

Hope the bidders spend time looking this car over instead of hitting the bar before they start bidding.

Non-original engine case inspite of what the auction listing suggests and many more 'issues'.
