Nice looking. Too nice looking. Does that car ever see the road?

Excellent! One of the few times I see a speedometer I am familiar with on this forum. Km/h instead of miles/h. Real cars have km/h.

Too many heavy, luxury parts. Dash padding, heat exchanger sheet metal and hoses, carpet, etc. Thing probably weight a ton.

Kidding. Gorgeous car.

That is really clean. It looks like it hasn't seen any road in a long time.

Who spends the time and $$$ to clean the paint underneath a car?

Looks better than new...gorgeous.

Just a point of note, chassis number 232 would never have had a 300kph speedo when new.

Regards
Mike

Bill,
Thanks you for sharing these pictures. That is the cleanest RS posted on this BB.
One favor - the duck tail. Did you take closer pic's? I'm still not 100% sure where to look and what to look for that makes the OEM duck tail...material stamp/mark??
Dont know.
I have a duck tail on my RS look-a-like, not a clone. The duck tail has been on the car since 1984 (that is as far back that I can go on history of the RS look).
Mine has a metal frame and f-glass. Has the cut-outs for the small lights exactly to the pic above.
Is there a thread on duck tails here on the PP BB?
TIA,
Bavaria

There's some dirt on the driver side floor mat and dead pedal area, as well as dust on the top of the steering wheel. This thing is just filthy.

WOW. This is all I can say.
