Yes...original numbered panels and paint cars are worth considerably more. These care were very cheap for a long time and were used (as they were intended to be) as track cars so a lot have been in accidents/damaged....or have had modifications. Most don’t see track use now as modern cars are so much quicker....they’re recognised as being superb machines on the road.

Cars that are as they left the factory are what people want...Maritime Blue and Rubystone are more expensive with PTS colours also very desirable.

Many many have had hard track use, accidents, paintwork, modifications, combinations of those issues etc. Many have been hastily shined up again to take advantage of a quick sale now that they have become more valuable. There are no bargains with these....the best examples bring strong money the lesser examples sell for far less....or they should....if you go just by price you will find yourself with many problems...not for amateurs.

Thanks but I do not want an NGT !

Worth considering as far better than standard RS in terms of handling.Owned Touring and N/GT versions and driven Lightweight many times.

that's a nice one. I think I know the DR who worships it

What do you think this RS will go for? https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/0...rera-rs/913729

Lava GT3

Hard to know given the lack of info. No service history details, whether its original panels and paint and what the service history is. Cars that have a low mileage, full service history and claim they’re all original/no accidents could be comfortably be bought for Eur200k/$250k in Europe currently. If a car has been painted you’re looking at 20% less.

Lava GT3

Really that’s interesting ! I see you’re in the UK. How does it cope with our roads ? Is it much stiffer/sharper than the Lightweight ?

How much would you say if someone were to look at an RS and find that the engine had been replaced but the transmission was original. So in other words non matching engine original trans but excellent service history body panels/paint original.

Lava GT3

Hard to say but I think you’d be looking at 30% less. Inference from a new engine is obviously that the car either hasn’t been looked after or been driven very,very hard.

They’re not particularly rare cars in Europe. There are probably 30 plus for sale so think it would be very difficult to sell.

My bet is it doesn't get to the reserve - what ever that is. The market for a 140k/km RS has got to be pretty small. Black is one of the less in demand colors. Car looks to be in Sweden? When I was going through my purchase process, I looked at cars of this standard - great drivers cars - but the discount over a no stories lower miles one just wasn't worth it to me.

I was told in europe, the # matching thing doesn't matter as much as it does in the US. It may not be true, but I was told that resale of a non-matching #'s 964 RS here is the states is really difficult. Not sure it its true, but it made me pass on a really nice car that I would have otherwise loved that was here in the US. it did then sell with non-matching #s, but I do not know for how much.

You'll get quotes from $8k to $15k to ship by boat with insurance. depends if you are sharing a container, or how much logistical work is required to get it to port of origin. You'll want insurance and also you'll pay an import duty.

All I can say regarding Europe if that there is definitely a different price point for cars that are not 100% original. There are a lot of cars that have had proper use but they are at a totally different price point form the 100% original cars. The trouble is with the cars that have been used as they are meant to be is that they fall into an awkward price point. They are arguably not really quick enough for track days now and they're too expensive to be used as pure dedicated track cars for a lot of people. So the track guys don't want them, the collectors don't want them....I want to buy one to use but would rather not buy one that's done 100k km on track because of wear and tear. I'd rather buy one with say 50k km on it that's been used but the engine and gearbox are hopefully a long way from needing serious work.
