43 Year reunion with original owner
After purchasing this 2.8 RSR and working with European Porsche Expert - Kobus Cantraine, we were able to reunite the 9113600894 with its original 1973 owner - Eugen Kiemele, on his 80th Birthday. It took almost a year and a half of trying and planning to meet with him. He had not seen the car for 43 years, since he sold it at the end of the 1973 season when he upgraded to a 1974 3.0 RSR, which was also green. We hired a photographer to take pictures of the car with Eugen. Even the local press were interested and they published some articles and pictures of the reunion also. This reunion is documented in the Porsche Classic Magazine article. Get your copy to learn all the details, before the next issue comes out. Here are some pictures of that reunion at the Kiemele Museum in Siefertshofen, Germany, to whet your appetite.
