993 RS for sale at Kidston
Discussion
Kidston definitely appears to be the man to go to for the uber desirable classics if you are minted.
Not sure why this BMW 507 gets such a stunning photo shoot when the 993 RS gets a storage tank as background.

In the current, second owner’s hands – a northern Italian collector with an extensive garage of classic and modern cars – this 993 RS has excelled as an enjoyable, fast and safe driver’s car, driven well within its capabilities on low-key regularity events. Meticulously serviced (as detailed in two service books, all by official Porsche service agents in Italy),it has never suffered serious accident damageor been resprayed. All original tools, books, spare wheel and first aid kit are included.
Some wonderfully vague stuff in there.Looking at the spec there is no way that this was fitted from new.
My old 964RS N-GT was first owned by Ulrich Richter and even Porsche could not fit the ABS cut-out for him --- it was done by the local dealer after delivery --- and as a matter of interest, it was green.
The red one is from the Cup cars ... and this spec does not match an ABS cut out.
But, the ABS cut-out disconnected the speedo and odometer ... so I'd want to look at the service and mot history to prove the mileage ...

What is: 451 Reduced radio preparation?
Mine had that. It means totally useless radio/cassette. Not that it matters in that car! I did 30k miles around Europe on the best tracks and it never missed a beat. I'm beginning to regret selling it. I met Walter Rorhl when I had it. He said it was, in his opinion...'The best RS...you must never sell it'

Here's the program:BUY CAR at bottom of market
REPEAT:
Turn off "ABS", drive car as much as you like,
Turn on "ABS", get serviced/MOTed
UNTIL (car market reaches maximum bubble insanity)
SELL
What was that recent thread name again: "where did all these low-mileage classics come from"?

Don't forget the lack of rear speakers, only those fitted in the front door cards on the RS. I did 30k miles around Europe on the best tracks and it never missed a beat.

I love some of these descriptions on a car, the vendors clearly have no more than a general idea about.
Piers, maybe Herr Rohrl was right?
