'. . . delivered new in Germany on 8 January 1973 in one of the rarest colours: Aubergine (ref. 4040) with a black headlining (ref. 025). Only 16 RS models were delivered in this colour. Its engine, no. 6630402, is the one with which it left the factory, fitted to chassis no. 0377. It is thus one of the first 500 built, with a lighter body due to the use of thin-gauge steel.

This iconic model of the marque has been in the hands of the son of one of the greatest French collectors, who registered it on 20 January 2005, acquiring it from another leading Porsche collector, Jean-Claude Miloé. M. Miloé had himself purchased the car from Jean-Patrick Flandé, who kept it for a good ten years and drove it for some 90.000 km. He had bought it in Switzerland in the mid-1980s. Since then, it has been maintained by Valentin Kaiser, the widely known manager of the Porsche Classic Center in Paris. He rebuilt the engine when the car was owned by M. Flandé, and at the same time the 16in wheels were fitted and improvements made to the oil system. The current owner had the original seats (which will be supplied with the car) replaced by more heavily bolstered Recaro seats offering increased comfort. He told us that he had never driven the car on track, using it only to travel to his family home in the Sologne or for leisure trips. In very good condition, well maintained and fitted with its original engine, this is one of only 16 2.7 RS Tourings finished in 'Aubergine' and one of the first 500 built . . .'
