We hope that we were able to make it clear: This vehicle was completely rebuilt without regard to costs, no stone was left unturned. The effort in working hours amounts to approx. 1,500, the costs for the pure construction of a comparable vehicle at the present time are approx. 200,000 euros (without the basic car).
This 911 is an ideal tool for fast trips and closed racetracks. On the small circuit in Hockenheim, lap times in the 964RS range are possible with this vehicle and the appropriate driving skills. The craft of rebuilding is in a rarely seen high-end quality – absolutely consistent, without compromises and stopgap solutions.
The 1965 Porsche has no FIA car passport, no checkbook. It is not suitable for original fanatics, gap measure naggers and paint layer thickness gauge (… this can not be used on about 2/3 of the body anyway – plastic hood, fenders, doors, engine cover…)
With the best recommendations for this special racing car – and many thanks to Luca di Blasi (Instagram: @hub_raum_ ) for the wonderful photos!
