3.0 rs - hhhmmnn what does weveryone think about its big bum?

has anyone driven any of these after having a 993? - any opinions? other than obviously not refined or comfortable!

basically i'm getting a company car and can get away with using the porsche less - thought slower and older for 'sensation' and 'occasion'

The Autofarm replica could be a good option- it is based around the relatively modern 3.2 Carrera, but with the '73 styling and spirit.

Or that RS Replica at Gmund got a rave review in last months Total 911! (and seems fairly priced to me...

Always around lurking - just don't have much to offer since this board has become 993.co.uk !!!

Anyway back on topic - I'd be very tempted by a 3.2 or SC based RS replica. They are realistically useable and you won't be in danger of devaluing a 'classic', only problem is the price that Autofarm ask for their conversions. Undeniably fine cars, but at a price ! There are plenty of replicas out there without paying Autofarm money, but it's a bit of a minefield as it can be difficult to establish exactly what you are buying - there are some very poor replicas out there and lots of crashed cars rebuilt into RS replicas. Also with an eye to re-sale they can be remarkably difficult to sell on. I have a mate who almost had to give his one away (it was a good car built on the correct year's chassis etc.) That said, prompted by the excellent reaction to Autofarm's 'recreations', RS replicas do seem to be getting a lot more good press recently eg. the Total 911 article last month.

Personally I'd be tempted to stick with your 3.8 - the old cars are very different beasts - and your 3.8 could be turned into something really special for weekend blasting !

Why not give me a call and you can come and try it for yourself. Its a very sorted car with some real attention to detail. It's not going to give you the day to day comfort of the 993, but having come from a 993 myself it is a really fun drive.

We are getting offered Replicas on a regular basis and have become very choosy so the examples we put forward are good ones. Happy to help if I can

Marc, having had a couple of early cars ,2.2 and a 2.4 I have been thinking of buying a 2.4 that requires a 'bit' of work but the main criteria for me would be to retain the original features rather than create a replicar. From my past experience I found that selling a modded car not only took a bashing on values but took some time to find a buyer. On the other hand if you want a track car then go for it and have some fun!
