The estimate floored me, and it's not exactly clean either.

no clue about the price, but cool that it has been with its first owner for 40 years

Not exactly clean is an understatement, the radio surround even has rust on it!



You can see visaul signs on the rear bumper, front bumper, door, sills, front wing - so when it's stripped back you can guarantee it's going to be worse.





That's going to need a lot of £££ spent on it to remove all the rust properly.

Good example of how ImpactBumpers hide rust can be seen here

Wow, wow and Wow ! Fair play if the auctioneers achieve the estimate or surpass it , could be a new record for a scrap road going Porsche !.

Would walk away at £5k.

They can keep it, burn it, bury it, crush it, don't care, would not be interested at the above.

Love how they compare build numbers to an early Carrera RS because it MUST mean it's valuable as a consequence!

These are mechanically almost identical to a 2.7RS and equally rare. They go for £200k+ in good nick.

Fool and his money...


....one positive with this current increase in prices (trying not to say bubble) is that old Porsche are being restored which wasn't economically viable at lower values!

Oh dear pure basket case if I ever saw one.
Suspect kidney bowls and B posts x 2 front wings to start.
This is a turd that cannot be polished.
Alarming that the trade will fool a fool with too much cash to burn

A 993 RS for £35k in 2005. Are you sure it wasn't longer?

Agree with a lot of the above, however it is certainly worth saving as a UK RHD 1 owner 55k miles MFI Car in a nice period colour.When restored it will be a very desirable car and the value will show that.
Quite how the interior got into that state after only 55k miles and one careful owner though is a bit baffling.
