Earlier this week someone linked to the advert for this car :



I showed the image (saved to my phone) to a mate who's expressed interest in said car. Accordingly I said I'd send him a link to it. Now despite having spent the last hour trawling PH, the interweb and Google, I can't find the vendor of the car rolleyes

If anyone recognizes the car (a '73 2.7 RS rep based on a 3.2 Carrera with a 3.5 litre engine running on PMO's and fitted with a BS Motorsport switchable exhaust) please could you either link to the vendor's website or
post the name of the company.

Many thanks in advance.

Slippy, the only car I can find is the one shown as sold http://www.classiccarshop.co.uk/home/sold-vehicles... maybe the garage name rings a bell?

Evening Al, thank you for that. I suspect that's the car, (as the start of the advert appears to use the same wording as the advert I perused earlier in the week) but it's on sale with a different vendor currently, so perhaps The School Garage traded it out.
The images on the current website were nicely shot as per the above

You're welcome Slippy. I've done a bit more digging and have come up with a better ad for the School Garage car http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/cars-for-sale/de...
It's the same wording but the car has a different reg to that in your original post. I'll keep digging smile

Morning Al, thanks for the second link. By chance I found the car this morning, I realise now the car itself wasn't linked to, it was the Guards Red Mk2 996 GT3 that was linked to redface and whilst looking at that car and the vendor's other stock, I noticed the 2.7 RS rep :

A stunning car, and I'd wager quick too !

Once again, many thanks for taking the time to look for the lost link smile

So the ad says "best 1973 911 RS lightweight recreation to date". I don't think so. 3.5L high compression on PMO carbs with MSD ignition and twin spark. In what way is that a 2.7RS replica motor? Might be a fantastic hot rod, but 2.7RS rep it is not.

I may be wrong , but I think I enquired about this car nearly a year ago and I'm sure they wanted somewhere between £K 80/90 - can't remember exactly - but I would have remembered if they wanted £K 150 !! smile

When a replica has '£POA' in the sales advert you know that much hilarity will ensue.
