Please go back and read post #148 on this thread. Ruf installed a CTR-2 center exhaust on one their very early Turbo R builds. This car is now owned by Rennlister C2S.

Congrats Mick! I was second in line if you bailed on the sale, glad you got a nice car. I happened to find something over the past week I've been coveting for a while. I'm up in Boston, hope to meet you and some of the other NE Ruf owners sometime!

Thats a narrow bodied CTR2 which uses side skirts from Ruf. These were not used on the wide bodied CTR2's.

That Turbo R belongs to Leon in the UK and its actually painted white now plus he has a black CTR 3!

Those look great, Im guessing the 993s are just dirty, but I like the dirty color

. That CTR3

F40, F40GT, Jag XJR-15, NSX, Lancer, Viper VS Ruf "THR" not sure if thats the same as the Turbo R, may be the earlier model.

I visited RAC yesterday and looked at the silver 993TT Turbo R that they have for sale. It is a very, very nice Turbo R. While it only had the engine conversion plus shifter and steering wheel, I think that it is a very good buy for a low-mileage, recently converted Turbo R.

Car itself is pristine. Interior is perfect and paint is great.
