For posterity . . .
'. . . Built as an M472 optioned, Touring specification RS in April, 1973, 9113601059 was delivered to a Belgian collector on May 7, 1973. The car was sold to it's second owner, Frenchman Michel Aquate, in 1984. M. Acquate added some RSR upgrades and campaigned the car in Porsche Club of France events . . .
. . . In 1986 third owner, FIA GT Championship promoter Stephane Ratel, purchased and used the car in club events . . .
. . . In 1988 fourth owner, Pascal Motte, commissioned a major restoration including complete engine rebuild with case replacement. Work was completed by Garage Louis Meznarie, a Porsche dealer specializing in racing Porsches during the '70's & '80's. The invoice lists engine #6631039 but the new cases were not stamped with the engine number as was the practice of M. Meznarie . . .
. . . Fifth owner, Thierry Lacaze, a Porsche Cup competitor owned #1059 from 1994 to 2001 and participated in historic races and events such as the Tour Auto. While in his stewardship M. Lacaze had the car maintained to the highest standards as indicated by extensive receipts . . .
. . . May, 2001 saw #1059 change hands again and new owner, Laurent Timonier continued to maintain it as well as having the gearbox completely overhauled. In July, 2006 the car was involved in a relatively minor accident involving the left rear fender at which time M. Timonier commissioned a complete photo-documented "bare tub" restoration that took two years to complete and saw the car stripped to bare metal and painted in it's current Gulf Blue livery. #1059 is featured in French auto magazine Sport Auto's January 2012 edition . . .
. . . The car changed hands again in 2010 and was acquired by Classic Assets in 2013. While in Classic Assets care the engine was removed and the case re-sealed to eliminate slight oil seepage and address any additional issues . . .

'. . . Delivered new to Belgium
1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7-Litre Coupe
Chassis no. 9113601059
Engine no. 6631030 (see text)
Chassis number '1059' left the factory in April 1973 and was delivered to Belgium on 7th May of that year. A 3rd-series RS, it was delivered in Touring ('M472') specification finished in light yellow (colour '6262'). '1059' spent its first ten years in Belgium in the hands of a Belgian collector specialising in Porsche cars. In 1984 the Carrera was bought by Michel Aouate, who was a member of the Porsche Club in France, and used for Club events. At that time '1059' was equipped with some mechanical parts and other elements from the later 2.8-litre Carrera RSR competition version . . .
. . . From 1986 to 1988 the Porsche was owned by Stephane Ratel, who was the promoter of the FIA GT Championship. The car was used for club events and was well maintained. In 1988, it was sold to Pascal Motte, a collector in the north of France. Mr Motte commissioned a major restoration that included a complete engine rebuild and replacement of the crankcases. These works were carried out in 1988 by Louis Meznarie, a Porsche dealer who specialised in the preparation of Porsches for racing during the 1970s and '80s. The invoice for the repairs was issued for the original engine (number '6631039') but according to Louis Meznarie's practice, this number was not re-stamped on the new crankcase, which explains why today the engine has no number. In 1989 the car was repainted in Grand Prix White with green graphics, and in 1994 was sold together with the rest of Pascal Motte's collection . . .
. . . Between 1994 and 2001, '1059' was the property of Thierry Lacaze, a Porsche Cup competitor between 1993 and 1998, who used the Carrera for historic races such as the Tour Auto. Thierry Lacaze carried out extensive maintenance and had the car repainted in its original light yellow livery with black graphics. All the 2.8 RSR parts were retained . . .
. . . In May 2001 the Carrera was bought by Laurent Timonier, who maintained it in good condition and had the gearbox fully overhauled. In July 2006 the car was involved in an accident, damaging the front left corner, and Mr Timonier decided that, rather than merely repair it, he would undertake a complete restoration. The latter was carried out by Mr Franco Fraccaro, a Geneva based specialist in historic Porsche road and competition cars. The restoration took two years and was completed by August 2008. Many components were changed, remade or fully restored. The car was repainted Gulf Blue (colour '6060') and all the aforementioned 2.8 RSR parts were retained . . .
. . . The current owner bought the Porsche in November 2010 to add to his collection. The car comes with FIVA papers and FIA technical passport, and is homologated in racing category 'C GTS 22H'. We are advised that the history and invoices on file support the conclusion that the 156,000 kilometres recorded on the odometer is a genuine figure. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS was voted one of their favourite cars of the last 50 years by the readers of Sport Auto and '1059' was chosen to represent the marque, appearing in the magazine's 600th edition in January 2012 . . .'

Purchased by the current owner in 1981, chassis 1165 is a genuine 3 owner car from new and has always remained in Europe. Used by the vendor for many years on high days and holidays, in 2003 he decided to have the car restored by a leading Porsche dealership in Germany. A completely matching number car, 1165 presents and drives exceptionally well and is absolutely correct in its detail . . .
. . . A substantial history file accompanies the car with invoices dating back to 1974, restoration invoices and photographs showing the work carried out. In addition the original owners handbook with super rare 'RS' supplement comes with the car as well as the original Bilstein jack and spare tyre air bottle inflator (still in its original box!) A recent inspection by a highly respected marque expert confirms this car is outstandingly original and correct, with unimpeachable provenance and a benchmark by which to judge other cars . . .'

This car, identified by VIN 9113600750, was originally delivered in Germany in February 1973. The large number of extras that the factory added to the car on the request of the first owner was remarkable for that time and included an electric sliding roof, fog lamps and electric windows. At the end of the 70s, the car was moved to Kalmthout, Belgium, where a family doctor became the new owner. In the mid 80s, the car changed hands again, and became the property of a collector who kept it in his possession for about 25 years. It was this collector who set out to give back this car its original splendour. Judging by the enormous amount of bills, the Alvan company, based in Lokeren and also a Lotus specialist, took this task very seriously. As part of the work, the original motor with number 6630750 was replaced by a motor with number 6631426. This new motor, also an original RS motor, originally belonged to a 911 RS with VIN 9113601461, originally delivered in Austria. It is not possible anymore to find out why this replacement took place as the Alvan company ceased to exist a long time ago. In 2013 the car was bought by a Dutch collector who is responsible for the current state of the car that is perfect in every respect. A well-known Porsche specialist was commissioned to revise the whole motor and to restore the mechanicals to their original state using original parts. These very costly operations have of course been documented and all bills are available for inspection. The motor overhaul revealed a crankcase failure. Replacing it by another crankcase was deemed to be the most reliable solution. A new crankcase replacing the defect example was eventually found: an original RS crankcase (911/83) with number 6640453. The replaced parts will be delivered together with the car. Since this overhaul the owner has been driving the car a few hundreds of kilometres only. It is self-evident that this car is a real 911 RS and this is confirmed by Certificates of Authenticity.
I'm sure the car is real but I wouldn't believe anything that's on a COA.
