Trantorman said:it does not matter how its viewed as a "Bitsa" or not, it was built from a genuine 993 RS with all the best trick parts available back in the day, including 959 doors, (because there lighter) carbon Wings and bonnet and a host of motor sport parts, it will always be a very special piece of Porsche history simply because its still exists, most cars from that time frame were broken up or have been locked away in collections the Snake has been free and been in regular light use and is a great car to use.

Re the above black 993 RS turbo if she had original engine and gearbox boxed can you imagine how much she'd be worth having held the Ring record back in 1998? Not the same but I drool at the 3.8RS Hairpin have for sale. Fell off my chair when I found out asking £1.1m for the her.
With new GT3 RS changing hands for £200k+ I don't think this is worth any less no? I'd rather own the 993 RS turbo personally than a robot but that's just me. Car looks amazing standing still let alone taking her back to her old stomping ground at the Ring for a run.
These are not for the collector and the better for it. We're the last generation that will be able to use these cars as intended. I'm going to make the most of it time permitting

Hope all's well Les :thumb:
