For the guys that interested in the RSR. If you are looking for specific details the car will be with me until the 29th Nov. So I can take pics or measure parts for you. Here is a short story. The car came to South Africa at the end of the 90s. I met the owner through Porsche club here. After looking up the chassis number and two years of looking around I figured out the whole history of the car. All we knew when we started was that thwe car raced le mans,targa florio and that it was an original RSR. The first thing i found that showed how the car looked was a fly scale model in the le mans livery. I then mailed fly models and said if they can make a model they must have pictures and they send me 5 pics that is in the link below. Since the history on pbase we have found some more pics ,2 at the targa and some all over. We also received help from John Starsky on the history. In april we replaced the 73 le mans decalls on the car. This was a leap of faith for the owner but as he didnt think it will look good but were willing to try it. I entered the car at our local concourse and won. Here a pic at concourse and a link to some more info
