Great car! Has anyone priced it?

fantastic find

the ex kremer ST that is there for sale 911 230 1417 is one we have seen details about on the board before (maybe in ultimate ST thread?) It is the one Karim posted about being his mechanics car originally delivered ex factory as a race car to Switzerland and raced for some time before being upgraded by Kremer

However the surprise for me was the "Kodak RSR" 9113600991 the only survivor of the two 2.8RSR's officially delivered to Australia. I am almost 100% certain that this is the same car as the photos show it in various Australian liveries from the early 70's and I saw the car in the late 90's just before it was sold to Germany (although had lost track of where it ended up)

here is a photo (B&W) from the site and one of mine showing it back in the day.

the 67S GP4 is a fantastic car as well - a pity they chose to hide the chassis number - but understandable I suppose.

Hi Raj

It could be a 68 - i did not look closely - just went on the date on the wagenpass but that could easily be calendar year rather than model year

I used a program called printscreen to lift the photos off the site - it is a simple screen capture tool that is easily downloaded

I have more on the RSR and pictures (although i misplaced the ones i took when it was for sale here years ago. Not sure about the thin panels but i was told that the body and mechanicals were separated for years from the mid 80's so the panels may or may not have been original.

will post tomorrow as it is getting late here

EDIT

I have just opened one of the other sets of photos for the car

I think that this attached shot of the colour code would suggest that it is a 68

That paint badge suggests a 1968 VIN.

So whom were the owners after Jim Mck?
Latham then/

Fitzgerald 1984 possibly at amaroo park

and I posted one at Winton raceway victoria probably from mid 70's ( above) when Latham had it

(I had a bunch of photos from 73 / 4 and from the time it was for sale in the 90's but have misplaced them -probably permanently )


anyone else have photos of this car - the raceline site has at least 4 separate liveries Shell, Kodak, camel, white like Brumos, and the fitzgerald blue and white. I will have to go looking for more pictures
