Default Ruf TurboR
Just noticed that RAC has a 1997 TurboR conversion for sale. Thought I'd mention in case anyone is looking.

The conversion package itself did not include Ruf bodywork. It included work to the mechanicals. Anything beyond that was at the owners' option.

IIRC, we covered that one here a few months ago. I think it was Arena Red.
