Description

A Swiss registered car - this RS has a huge documented, continuous comprehensive history file.

Superbly specificied the car was ultimately imported into the UK from Switzerlnd via Germany to the UK - at which time the car was confirmed to have original paint, speedlines, interior and fully matching numbers.

After importation into the UK this 993 RS featured in several national Porsche magazines, including the front cover of Total 911 and Porsche Post. It also won several PCGB concours including car of the show.

Perhaps the best way to sum up what is like to be custodian of such a special car should be left to Steve Kings who first imported the car to the UK. Steve - a serial high performance Porsche owner told "Stuttcars" how he came across his car and his first encounter:

“In December 2005, an email arrived with photos of a 993 Carrera RS in Switzerland in the colour that I wanted, Riviera Blue. A few more emails followed back and forth, a bank transfer was made, and the car was finally mine,” Steve recalled with a broad smile. The Carrera RS was shipped to Germany then eventually delivered to the Oulton Park RS track day in March 2006. Steve still recalls the moment his 993 RS arrived, “I still have vivid memories of the trailer ramp being lowered to expose the Riviera Blue paintwork of the RS shining in the spring sunshine, and the sound of the raucous, intoxicating, air-cooled flat-six coming to life, the smile on my face and the intriguing glances of those nearby. The RS had arrived and curiously I felt, so had I.”

Subsequently passing onto to a new UK owner a few years ago the car has has been looked after with no expense spared and presents today as a reference 993 RS - in arguably the most desirable colour.
