8mm steel!? …feck me … ? At least it’s not 9mm steel.

If so …Not sure this one would’ve made the 900kg RS homologation target at Stuttgart scales.

Did the restorers miss what looks like the later rear slam panel ? Steve

[HughH]

Steve
yes missed that and a bunch of other things as well

Am I mistaken or is the Duck profile a bit off?

Dealer Description:

Supplied new to West Germany, this example was supplied new in the instantly recognisable colour scheme of Grand Prix White with blue, one of 205 examples optioned as such. Whilst optioned as the more refined Touring, it certainly had the lightweight ethos in mind, fitted with sports seats and retractable belts at the time of production.

Desirably one of the first 500 examples completed, this car was supplied in 1/1973 and as such benefits from the lighter gauge bodywork in the initial 'Homologation' examples. Such was the demand of the car, production eventually ceased after 1580 cars had been produced. Naturally by this time, the thinner and lighter steel homologation specification bodywork had been used up and the later cars were heavier as a result.

This example was first imported into the UK in April 1997, at the time earning the age-related registration mark KCR 155L that it retains to this day. The car was imported at the time by the late Jeremy Lloyd OBE. Away from his screenwriting efforts, Lloyd was an avid petrolhead and enthusiast, owning several Rolls Royces, Lotus and other sports cars including this!

Lloyd sold the car later that year where it would pass through two further UK owners before the car was exported to Europe. In 2007, the car was assigned FIA papers for historic events having received a number of upgrades at the time including a conforming roll bar and limited slip differential.

Following a comprehensive restoration by leading Swiss Porsche specialist Marc de Siebenthal in 2011, this example found itself once more in the UK. Shortly after its arrival, it received a further £40,000 of work with UK specialists Autofarm prior to purchase by the current owner in 2014. Since then, the car has resided within a world-class car collection based in Hong Kong and has been used sparingly. The production number stamped on the builkheads matches the factory records.

Today this example presents superbly and although not fitted with a matching numbers engine, it is fitted with one of the correct type. Accompanied by a thorough service history and a fresh Andy Prill report, this 2.7 RS Touring is available to view by appointment at our showrooms outside London immediately.

Hi David

Is this the profile you are questioning? Interesting to compare with other cars in this thread. In addition to profile, there is it’s construction: for a first series car it should be aluminium frame; with evidence of the tie down during its time pre conversion whilst in base homolgation configuration. I’d be interested to see the shape of the metal underneath lid, near the latch.
