Like the colour - but you can keep the wheels. What is it with people wanting to put even larger wheels on a car? 19" tyres too cheap and easy to obtain?

What's wrong about it?

[Magic919]

I guess the original wheels got damaged in the crash.

Butchered

admittedly in a good way

I wouldn't say no but I'd be over the moon with a standard one too.

No harm in making a car your own though. Too many purists around these days. Reversible mods are fine in my book.

ETA- Link didn't work on my phone earlier. I thought we were just looking at the wheels. Wasn't aware of any history. Oops.

Shocking spelling and grammar in that advert!

Advert said:

Previously on VCAR Register and has now been approved and removed as VCAR by HPI as it has been Autolign'd upto there standards with Certificate.

Which begs the question, why was it on VCAR ? Show us the the pictures of the damage prior to it's repair I say.

So its a dodgy old write off then.

You can't polish a turd and ask a kings ransom for it!

Looking at this from an admittedly very negative view; one might consider the possibility that the body panels were sooo badly damaged, it seemed prudent to buy the Gen 2 panels and fit them instead.

As said before, i'd consider a Cat D car if it was supplied with comprehensive report and evidencial photos of the damage, and how/where it happened. Not this one though. I'm a purist saddo.

[Diesel130]

Is this one from a known accident, like the rolled ones from Brands??

[HoHoHo]

Assuming a buyer didn't read PH Porsche forum and bought this car (which obviously reading posts above has some sort of history), would/could you tell it had a previous problem just from driving it?

Would it be also safe to assume it 'may' be dangerous if involved in a shunt?

[mollytherocker]

It'll just have had a new front bumper, right?

MTR

[cragswinter]

Right I'll play, link not working on phone so does the ad mention it's a cat d/c/b/a whatever?

If it does then fair play-he's laid out his stall so what's the problem?

[Phooey]

so what's the problem?

No problem. It's just... gen2 bits on a gen1 car - fair enough if it's a boggo model - but this is an RS. I could only ever own an *original* RS, with original bits. It is though probably one of the best looking examples of the 7RS i have ever seen. Hence my heading "Wrong... but so right"

[justin220]

Thats absolutely stunning.

"invites corners and waves them good buy"?!
Seriously?

[Junior Bianno]

Love it

Given its history and the 20" wheels I would want some serious test driving and a very good inspection, but if it stacked up i think it is reasonable for the money. The stance is sensational. Looks funny to see what is effectively a gen 2 in that colour.
