The history aspect is very important to me. In the German Carrera Cup, the car I purchased was a midpack car in 1992; finished 6th in 1993; and driven by Sandro Angelastri, won the Italian Carrera Cup Championship (Carrera Alpenpokal) in 1992. My car has seen track time at Nurburgring, Spa, Monza,Hockenheim,Zolder,Brunn, and numerous track in Italy.
I could have easliy purchased a significantly less expensive RSA or purpose built race car here, but wanted the piece of Porsche Motorsport history. The factory obviously knows what it is doing. I have already had offers for my car significantly higher than the purchase price 2 years ago. The car is definitely a keeper.

Glad to see you got a copy of the '93 book Charlie... I sooo wanted to bid against you for it, and the '94 book, but I couldn't bring myself to do it!!!
Anyway, it'll be fun to have.

I probably would have gone higher than you - but I wasn't going to go against another RL'er... Hope you like the '93 book, and maybe somebody will put up a pair of '94 books soon!
