Fake RS is back for sale as genuine

[Survivor67S]

Thought some who were following the epic fake RS thread on Pelican would like an update.

This link will jump you to the latest news. The car has been listed again as a genuine RS:

Yes it extremely disappointing that this car, which is billed a 'geniune RS Touring' is still around and now offered for sale again.

The current owner should have taken this car apart, sold off the valuble stuff and had the chassis destroyed like he told me he would do when he first discovered he was screwed by the guy who sold it to him.

Well....you know what they say: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions....'

I'd say he's buggered but seems to want to do a bit of buggery himself.

Good work Brian.

Best,

No worries....some unsuspecting fella will come along believing it's for real and fork out the dough-re-mee....and the cycle will continue.

Already done...car is supposedly sold (see the Pelican thread).

Anybody know someone at the Carrera RS registry that can add this RS to the fake list?

This car is the subject of the 'German Profile' in the latest issue of SCM. Unfortunately the SCM analyist buys the lie purpetuated by the seller and Bonhams about this being a Factory rebodied car "whose chassis number was grafted into the pedestrian 911T shell employed in the reshelling".

To his credit the analyist does point out there are no original parts from 1316 in this car. He writes "The most distressing point is that the whereabouts of any original parts from chassis 1316 do not appear to known". Further on he writes; "Further, apart from some recent vintage racing activity and mechanical and cosmetic work within the course of the last decade, nothing is known of any remnants of the original Carrera RS, whose chassis number stamping might be all that remains of the original car".

Well, as we all know, this too was a complete fabrication done to decieve others.

George: I think I understand this. Jay Peterman is real. His biography is not. Now, you Kramer are real.

Kramer: Talk to me.

George: But your life is Peterman's. Now the bus tour, which is real, takes to places that, while they are real, they are not real in sense that they did not *really* happen to the *real* Peterman which is you.

Kramer: Understand?

Jerry: Yeah. $37.50 for a Three Musketeers

I'm utterly amazed that you could get a car like this any press at all (other than bad). SCM didn't do their homework or this car would have never appeared in it UNLESS they did it to assist in discrediting the thing. Big audience reads the rag and bad news travels fast. Just not fast enough.
I hope you guys in the RS Registry have this thing flagged. It still reminds me of the re-bodied T that a fellow saw in France years ago.
The "magic" number didn't work when he called the factory. Ooops. He walked. I imagine he actually ran.

SCM may not have done their homework but they're very receptive to correction. Unless, as you said, this is a subtle ploy to bring about the info without directly accusing anyone of something.

Every issue has letters to the editor (near scathing at times) from readers who know the real story. A second voice may make the issue iron clad.

Anyone going to write a letter?
