I think that's the first right hand drive 993RS I've seen .... am I right that there weren't any 993 RS right hand drive's made for the U.K.?

That's the number for the UK JP. IIRC, there are actually a total of 112 RHD 993 RS, both M002 and M003.

Wayne Carini says sometimes the dirt adds value lol.

Have you seen the episode where they find a cobra in a barn and they have a debate and consult other experts on whether they should wash it or not.

What a concept lol.

The decision was since it wasn't "original owner" dirt, might as well wash.

That looks to me to be a converted 993RS Lightweight, not a Clubsport. Still a rare car though, just not what it is purported to be unless a photo of the build sticker proves otherwise. That said, it won't be for sale for too long I guess.

Didn't look like CS. Didn't Australia have odd CS - like no welded cage?

There were 7 RHD 993RS M003 Clubsports built and we have worked on three of them, all having the correct RHD version of the factory Matter roll cage, the opposite hand to the one in my LHD CS. Not sure why the factory would make yet another version for the Aussies but you may well be correct?

I see carpet in there. Clubsports didn't come with carpet. The option sticker would paint a better picture of exactly what this car is.
