The car has done a few demo laps during the last edition of Le Mans Classic, in July 2018.


Raymond ordered a new set of rims in the same style as the original, but in 18" instead of the 16", because it is really hard to find the right sizes of tyres now.
Sadly, he was unable to drive but the gentleman in green overall is one of the original pilots of the car. I can't remember which one at the moment, sadly.

The car was also on display during the Euro 928 2017, next to the Trigema, and the S4 convertible prototype.

Yellow rear end, not too bad.

It's a nearly stock GTS engine currently, really different from the original Euro S.

It seems that Porsche would have liked him to test the S3 engine for the 1985 season, but this did not happen. The S3 was also homologated as a Groupe B.
