Just spotted this LHD re-shelled 993RS, thought it might be of interest.

No affiliation & for reference : 1GBP = $1.47

Enjoy ~

 

Interesting but probably going to be a tough sell. That said, I've noticed several ultra-low mile RHD RSs come up for sale in the UK recently (RB <4000miles, GR <6000 miles, GPW <2500 miles) for 125,000GBP. WOW!

 

I guess it's debatable whether you'd consider this is a regular C2 with all the RS gear or an RS with the body from a regular C2 (6 vs. half dozen). The vin goes with the tub as I understand things, so I think I'd say the original RS has gone to Porsche heaven and donated it's organs to make a nice a RS replica. Nothing wrong with that and the price reflects that I guess, but just thought 're-shelled' was a funny description.

 

It is NOT an RS period!

Which explains the price ...

 

Oh come on Harry! I've got RS Speedlines on my car. If I add the steering wheel couldn't I ask similar money for my 95?

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree that it's now "just" a 993 with lots of desireable RS parts.

 

Hey, J-P isn't around as regularly as he used to be so someone has to be the RS police

Harry I think it's time for you to post pix of your car again......just because!

 

Just for you Cactus

Harry

 

Thanks Harry! You are living the dream for sure.....now how bout some interior shots?!

 

Harry, STOP BEING A TEASE! Come on, bring on the pics. The one above is awesome but hook a brotha up!

 

I suspect the seller might disagree! At least he is being transparent about the car's provenance. These issues are not uncommon on the early911sregistry. Given the raison d'etre of the wonderful 964RS & 993 RS, it is hardly surprising that many are likely to have had major prangs/offs. The value of rebodied/reshelled examples is likely to be the subject of much debate in the coming years. All interesting stuff with a variety of opinions likely. Ultimately, the "value" market price car of this car will be determined by it's selling price.

Again, as in the title, no affiliation.

 

Closest point of comparison I can think of is Bill Verburg's car, which I'd actually prefer, if given the choice.

 

+1^. I bet ole Harry and I could spot LOTS of non RS points!!!
