Does anyone know this car?

[jtrichel]

Chronic lurker, rarely a poster, I am still slowly and deliberately searching for an R Gruppe type of car, very well sorted. I was emailing with this individual some time ago and cannot find his contact info. Not even sure whether the car is still for sale. Out of respect for the owner, I do not want to post rear pictures with plates, but will do some photoshopping if needed to identify it. Has an R Gruppe license plate frame with black California plates.

I recognize the car, and am pretty sure it was sold within the last 6 months by Canepa. Other more astute and informed members may have more info, but that's what I recall. It is a well sorted, nicely prepared car. I think it was originally a 912 if I'm not mistaken on its identity.

well here is the rear, I took out the plate number.... looks like originally a 'T', not 912, so hopefully you are wrong, but maybe not (?)... anyway, it is one of a few cars that I trying to follow up on, but the only for which I cannot find contact info... any help is appreciated..

thanks

Canepa Design did have it at some point after being posted here and it did indeed start life as a 912.

Don't know whatever happened after they got it.
