930 RSR

Spotted driving along by the Bentley / Aston / BMW dealerships in Cheltenham - anyone on here the proud owner? Assuming it's now sold....

Looked superb and sounded awesome.

Interesting! I have no association of any kind with the vendors and enjoyed the sights and sounds briefly for what they were. It is indeed a lovely car to see and hear on the road.

It's been living in Solihull OPC's showroom for the last 3-4 months, so it's not necessarily sold.

Good call.

The reason it was driving along near the Bentley specialist and Aston main dealer aka H R Owen Ecurie Supercar Sales and Service is now clear - it's sitting in their window.

Can't see it on their website as yet however.

Personally if the grey RSR rep is £175,000 I'd rather have a 997.2 GT3 RS.

That's a tough one.

As to the price, it's still in the window of H R Owen Ecurie at £175,000 but hasn't been featured on their website as yet.

Not really a tough one. One car is blue chip investment that matches its unobtainium pricing with driving dynamics not far off a modern cup car.

The other is an RSR rep look 1979 4 speed 911 turbo which is a pretty horrible laggy thing to drive. Complete no brainer as 911 turbos of this vintage are an acquired taste in terms of driving dynamics. Can't fault the way it looks though.

Fair enough, these things are to individual taste and I don't pay any attention to what constitutes an investment. In addition I appreciate the higher order accelerations from a turbo engine more so than the linearity of the unforced induction alternative. We agree on the looks of RSR 930 which go a long way in my book. The thought of having to stare a car in the face (or the backside) pretty much on a daily basis and before/after every drive is a potential deal breaker for me, not that the 997 is ugly but I'd opt for 930 RSR out of these two with brain and heart in agreement in terms of the total potential ownership experience.

930 RSR has been moved to a different position in the H R Owen Ecurie window, but it's still not on their website afaics - curious.

Finally 930 RSR is up on the HR Owen Ecurie website...as POA and with the number plate hidden.
