Erik:
I respectfully disagree.... I have polished ( and let tarnish) a number of OEM fans...which are indeed magnesium but will appear as a matte aluminum color. The straw color effect is the protective, semi-transluscent coating Porsche used to hinder magnesium corrosion. The stuff almost totally covered my 85 fan but was flaking and chipping so I took it all off. Does that ban me forever from the Taj Garage ??? .... - Wil

Old clearcoat turns yellow - as does old fiberglasss - that was probably a little more milky white color in it's day. and the fan was probaby a little more silvery color. But it does look well cared for - Sweet - thanks for posting the pictures.

The fan is NOT of fiberglass. I have been near enough RSRs to tell you that with certainty. It is only very clean.

I had the pleasure of driving on the track in my 73RS replica while another driver lapped in one of these. It was a monster! BTW, I think some examples of these have traded hands well above $500k. Thanks for posting!

Is that a thermostat for the front oil cooler at the oil filler neck? Beautiful car, no nonsense just business.

Jeremy:
The stuff that covers the fan is not clearcoat that turns yellow over time..its a special semi-transparent coating that has a faint green/tan color right from the get-go.... I think even Paterak uses a speical Dow-sourced product to duplicate the effect in resto's.... - Wil
