Thread: 1973 Carrera RS Cars for Sale

But the Indian Red lightweight in France is asking for $1,000,000+ and that looks to be a fair price.

    For people (like me) trying to enter the market, it is confusing and a bit scary given all of the converted chassis, multiple copies of the same VIN, re-stamped numbers, fake paperwork, etc. So you end up being gun-shy to trust the listings and claims. Not to mention touring cars that have various lightweight parts fitted (what does that do for value?). For those that have lived this for a while or already have your car, it may seem like we are just looking for a cheap car. My mind is open but when you add colors and interior on top of the polluted market integrity it means I will be very patient (and appreciate comments or suggestions from those more wise on this forum).
    Personally my view of a Touring with Lightweight parts fitted was “how much will this cost to get back to Touring spec” ....have no interest in owning a car that is pretending to be something it isn’t....especially when a car costs what these do.

    A Chartreuse Touring with Lightweight parts was for sale for a long time in the UK priced at a premium to a Touring....didn’t sell and eventually was sold via an online auction at the right price for a Touring. The buyer has I believe budgeted to get it back to correct Touring spec.

    Good luck with the search! Pay up for quality and provenance. Seek expert opinions.

    If you be allowed to travel again, the GP white/red no. 275 seems a no nonsence car, right amount of patina, even looks like the original Recaro's.
    Just my 2 cnts

    500,000 Euros...

    A couple of things seem out of place on the car.

    If anyone is interested, I am tracking ~24 RS's current for sale (most in a document that I can send to anyone in the market right now). I don't guarantee the information is 100% correct but just what can be gleaned from talking with in the space and from the people who are representing the cars.

    With “ the desirable electric sliding sunroof ”? No RS should have that in my mind.

    My friend has one on his LHD RS, which is a great car in a great color. He’d be annoyed at my statement, but hey if they were designed to be lightweight sporting cars... ��

    I wonder if they were added post homologation weighing... I would think so.

    I don't think so.
    The added weight for the sunroof was indicated on the homologation file, #3053.
    See page 12. Added weight is 10.5 kg.

    38 kg for AC.
