Interesting mods. Wonder if it was a stock car or pieced togeather. Those doors have to be pretty expensive just to have them installed and functional.

You can buy kits to convert existing doors into the scissor type...I see them on ebay now and then....I have NO idea how well they work.

That's one way to solve the dreaded door strap issue.

It seems strange, considering it is advertised as a widebody, but appears to be also a cabriolet.....Hmmmm.

50,000 miles on a rebuilt engine.....how many miles total on the car, I wonder.

Maybe it started life as a Ruf BTR, then converted to a Prototech turbo, the new owner then decided to convert it to the now famous "C4S Ruf" (which gave it the wide body), the roof then got ripped off in a jacking accident and then they couldn't make the doors fit with the new rag roof, so they went to the scissor doors.
