Does anyone here own a 911 CSR from RPM?

I think the reality is that Singer have paved the way for productising retro evolutions of earlier but not as early as they look

I personally love the 2.8 RS look and love the idea of weight saving more modern driving experience etc

If I did do something like this I would build a keeper, probably 964 based but probably not buying off the shelf so to speak

Any as new build is going to be over £150k I am sure. The choice of transmission and engine will be a big one

I personally think I'd rather buy a car based on a period shell/engine - for 150k sterling you can probably get something that is also eligible for historic racing/events, which should help with retaining value (just in case you do ever have to sell). and those cars are below 1.000kg, which to me sounds very attractive. no modern driving experience though obviously

Whilst I think a CSR would give an uplift in sales price down the line over a car that a decent indi has put together for you to the same spec, I'm not sure that you'd be quids in looking at the prices they charge. The CSR Evo is a lovely looking thing, and I'm sure it drives really well, would you take one over a GT3 for the same money? I know I wouldn't, and I'd confidently bet my mortgage that the GT3 would offer a better return on your money too.

I really want an RPM ducktail and one of their Evo gear knobs for mine though

The gearknob isn’t a CSR specific product you can just buy it from function first in the states

Haven’t seen any posts from/re CLR recently - before going CSR, I would definitely have a chat with him. The thread on his car and all the weight lost seemed amazing to me

Sorry MDL111, I've been out the loop since March trying to steer an aviation company away from an iceberg; have not had a chance to think about the car for so long now. I've only driven the car once in that time

All being well, I'm hoping within 6months or so to be back in the game

ETA: some evidence of said drive

good to hear you are still around and the car is well. Still one of my favourite Porsches around. Will definitely have to come visit you (if you are willing to let me drool over your car for a bit) when I am in your area of Germany for a track day or similar next year.

Many thanks MDL111. Would be a pleasure, any excuse to take it out the garage is not to be missed. I must have clocked up less than 100miles in it this year. There should be laws in place to stop this serious neglect!

Good to catch up over the weekend Richie

Indeed H, also a gentle reminder you've still not managed to get yourself over here yet...
