Anybody else got a hankering for a CTR at the moment?

[DJC]

Or is it just me then?
Dunno why, got a new fast as buggery car. Uber new fast as buggery cars comming out over the last cpl of yrs.

For some reason though Ive just got the need for a CTR in my head at the moment!

Er...help?

Did you mean to post this on Jap chat? Don't think the people in here will be too interesteed in Civic TypeR's!

(yeah yeah, I know)

I thought of one before modding the 993 - the huge price of parts put me off. I think many are bespoke? Adam should be able to tell us more

They are a wonderful thing, I vividly remember my 4 laps in with Adam round the mini track circuit at Brunters. Amazing

If you drove it around in reverse it would have the same layout as a 911.




edit: ignore me, i am an idiot. Wrong CTR

Well thank f**k for that! For a minute there I thought you had posted up an ad for one for sale, instead you posted up a page and pic of a God awful monstrosity of an ugly car. RUF managed to do 2 damn nr impossible things with the CTR2...make a 993 look dog ugly and make a sequel to the CTR look thoroughly unappealing. Nope sorry, you can keep the CTR2, cant stand the thing.

[craigw]

i absolutely love that

[tertius]

Well, I would really like a BTR conversion on a narrow-bodied 993, but somehow retaining the electric spoiler (and the stock 993 appearance) - so it would look very subtle, but go like ...

i see it has the optional 'all over cheese grater body pack'.

Ruf have a brand new one for sale for the same money as the Belgian 2nd hand offering. Wonderful machine!

Hey Adam,

How often do pukka Yellowbirds come up for sale?

Hi buddy,

not very often at all, I think demand for them is very high and the only ones that "sit" are ones that have been smashed and rebuilt.

My "lottery car" is still Alois' Connaught Green RCT EVO. Yum.
or a 964 turbo with my 993tt engine and gearbox.

[GuyR]

There were 4 available in the last year or so to my knowledge.

Black car at Auto-Salon Singen - crashed and rebuilt as a widebody - who knows why they thought that was a good idea?

Green car rebuilt by Roock and being sold by Roock (again why use someone other than Ruf, destroys the provenance)

Yellow CTR conversion ie not a RUF VIN - in Scandanavia, questionable car.

White CTR in Japan - 100% pukka car through Ruf Japan, price reflected this.
