1971 Porsche 911 RSR Tribute
Basic information and history
One of Europe's most succesful cars on tarmac in the FIA European Historic Rally Championship. This 1971 Porsche RSR Tribute is very difficult to describe in words and can hardly be done justice in an ad! The car has won gold in the previously mentioned class in 2012, 2013 and 2015 and has been owned for a long time by the current owner. The car is built on a 1971 911S and built according to regulations FIA 3053 up to 1975 and is still street legal. Engine is built by well known Rugen in Germany and nothing has been spared whilst building this machine. Despite the fact that the car is well used and has won several major competitions, the condition is absolutely fantastic.
The car comes with two previous technical passes, FIA Rally pass, Swedish papers and four folders with parts and service invoices and historical documentation. Current owner has carefully documented all settings to optimize handling and power.

Condition
The condition of the car is consistently very good, despite the fact that it has entered several successful competitions over the years. Body and paint have some patina from competitions, but considering the area of use look very good. Look through all the pictures to form an idea of the condition, and questions can be asked in the question field.
