DESCRIPTION
Introduced in 1992 the Porsche 964RS came in three variations. They were produced in the standard RS model with two other options, the MOO2 (Touring) and the MOO3 (N/GT, also known as the clubsport). The N/GT's were the lightest models and had a welded in Matter rollcage and it was essentially a race ready car for track or road. The stripped out interior was painted body colour and the seats were the narrower Recaro type with full harnesses. Standard equipment included a fire extinguisher and electrical cut-out. It still remains one of the most accomplished club racers ever factory produced.
Offered here is the first production 964RS N/GT carrying the chassis number ending in 9011. It was not sold through the usual dealer network but was allegedly given to Ulrich Richter, a dedicated Porsche only race driver who had endeared himself to the brand with successes in the eighties. The gift was to entice Richter back into GT racing which worked with substantial success as results including third at the Daytona 24HRS in 1994 driving a 911RSR. The Maritime Blue RS was customised for him for use at his favourite circuit, the Nurburgring. He sold the car in 1993.
The Porsche RS came from Germany to the UK and was registered on 1-11-1995 having covered 30,000kms.
In 2005 the engine was fully rebuilt by specialist Ninemeister to include top and bottom ends with bearings, camshaft chains, valves, carriers, uprated springs and retainers, followers, guides, pistons, rings and all new bolts. The engine was dyno'd and produced 305bhp at 6150 rpm. In 2006 the suspension and brakes were replaced which included discs, pads, sensors, springs and shock absorbers. All the wheel bearings were replaced at the same time. Subsequent work has included a clutch replacement, heater, starter motor and distributers. It was decided in 2008 to refresh the paintwork with a full glass out repaint at a cost of £16,383 which was entrusted to Ninemeister. A new central rear light decal comes ready for fitment if required. The V5 shows five owners since arriving in 1995. The comprehensive history contains all the service details, the Porsche Letter of Authenticity and all the MOT's from 1995 through to 2015. ( MOT for 2006 not present as it may have been SORN). It comes with its RS Owners manual.
With RS's values showing little sign of abating this interesting Porsche represents a great investment. It comes with a full MOT ready to be enjoyed.
