We have discussed value of these cars from time to time so I thought I would pass along the info on the sale of this car at Bonham's recent Olympia sale. Here is the description of the car from the catalogue.

"Sold new in Germany on 1st April 1973 via Porsche Centre, Stuttgart, this Carrera RS was ordered with the factory fitted options of limited-slip differential, sports seats and ‘Touring’ package – Porsche’s luxury trim for its homologation models.

Exported to Hong Kong, in 1992 the car was significantly restored and professionally converted to right-hand drive by German Motors Ltd. of Kowloon at a cost of $122,000.

Imported into the UK in 1996 it has seen little use while in the present ownership, covering some 15,000kms between May ‘96 and today. (the total reading on the original odometer being 50,000kms-or-so). Described by the private owner as in good to very good condition in all respects, it is finished in the most appealing colour scheme of Tangerine Orange with black interior and benefits from uprated brakes, suspension and a Scott & Hayward exhaust system. Offered with V5 registration document, MoT and road fund licence to February 2004.

Estimate: £22,000 to 25,000
Sold for £21,500 ($42,527 USD)"

Here is a not so good photo of the car.



Several things are interesting. Originally this was a Light Yellow car that is now Tangerine and it has been converted to lightweight specs. The engine number matches the chassis number, but it was converted to RHD at great expense(is that $122K USD?). Considering the money spent on the conversion, it sure sold for low price. According to 'Carrera RS' this car was the first RS to come off the normal 911 production line because the homologation stipulations had been met. Any guys from the UK know any addition info on this car? Just curious.
