1973 Carrera RS Cars for Sale

Do you know who raced it ? My car was raced in that series in the mid/late 80’s.

No I have a couple of photos - one with the name Tony Wingrove against it at the Mallory hairpin, and another, below,

without any names but with a lot more decals. i believe that is the mid 80's races and the Tony Wingrove one, below, was when the car was quite new

Now that it is clear that it’s 509 not 297 I have some familiarity with 509 but no actual affiliation other than I am acquainted with a PO who had it among a significant nice collection and who is a very nice chap when we’ve met. Not sure why I didn’t twig it was 509 not 297 immediately as I have seen it in some detail but penny only dropped that when a different pal contacted me.

Nice, interesting car. I’m preparing to be “in the market.”
I have the common desires: matching drive train, cool color etc.
what’s most important is originality. If it’s original but different than what I “wanted” I’ll just learn to love it.
Real dream RS is a driver.
Liked this one, but timing wasn’t great n

Know 980 vey well having spent three days looking it over in detail. Do not confuse this RS with others that aspire to be this unmolested and well preserved. Very special reference example imo. No affiliation other knowing its owner and the person who looks after it.

I was going to the meet in my unrestored 2.7RS but plans changed. I’ll try and catch it in real life next time, would be interesting to compare details.

Dealer Description:

This iconic Rennsport Porsche is an early example - being produced in December 1972 - and was delivered new via Porsche dealer Raffay in Hamburg, Germany.

According to previous owners in 1974 the car went to Max Moritz Porsche and according to them the car was modified for racing to 3.0 RS specification. Fortunately the original engine was spared. In 1980 the car went to Canada and was raced there. In the very extensive history files the car is shown in red with Max Moritz racing decals. According to the former owner Mr. Hutton the car had all Porsche factory parts and the body consisted metal RSR wings. The car had high butterfly fuel injection and Mr. Hutton raced the car in a few club races. However confirmation of the racing specification needs to be found.

After 2 more owners in Canada the car was bought by John Starkey in 1989 (author of several Porsche books, also on 911 RS). In 1993 it was bought by a collector of Porsche in The Hague, Holland.

In recent years the car received a ground up restoration. The engine and gearbox were also rebuilt. A lot of documentation of the restoration is available. The choice was made not to hide some scars the car received in its racing career and hence shows its originality.

She is a fantastic matching numbers example. The car is finished as ordered new in HellGelb (light yellow) with black sport seats in black leatherette and corduroy. An inspection report by a known Porsche specialist is available as is the Kardex and Porsche certificate.

Very extensive history file with full ownership history. The complete restoration is well documented and was finished only recently.

The car is EU registered. This car is one of the first 500 homologation units is an unique opportunity not to be missed.
