A 1973 model built in December 1972, this superb Porsche 911 Carrera RS was supplied new in West Germany by Messrs Raffay of Hamburg. Chassis '00214' is one of the desirable first 500 cars Porsche needed to produce to obtain homologation for the 2.7 RS. These first 500 cars featured thin steel body panels, making them slightly lighter than most of the 2nd and certainly 3rd series 2.7 RS production.
Although the first owner's identity is not known, the car comes with an unusually detailed history. In 1974 the bodywork was modified to 1974 specification (3.0-litre RSR type) and for the next six years the car was serviced by the famous Max Moritz Porsche dealership in West Germany.
Circa 1980 the Porsche was purchased in West Germany by its second owner, Las Siemiginowski, and shipped to Canada when he emigrated. In November 1984 the car was sold by Baete Ebel of Calgary to Tim Hutton of the Hutton Financial Corporation of Vancouver. Hutton raced the Carrera, keeping it for the next two years.
In 1986 ownership passed to Dale Brynolson of ABC Marketing, Vancouver, who had the car maintained by local specialists, as did next owner Dr Robert Follows of Vancouver (details on file). Dr Follows advertised the Porsche for sale in Motor Sport magazine in 1989, and it was purchased and shipped to the UK by John Starkey of Warwickshire. Starkey owned the car but briefly, selling it in late 1989 to Michael Lavers of London. In 1992, Lavers sold the Porsche to Nicholas O'Callen-Smith of Berkshire, and in November '92 the car was the subject of a Porsche Cars 74-point vehicle inspection carried out by AFN, Reading.
In January 1993 the Carrera was sold in the UK, passing to Porsche collector Hans Lichtendahl in the Netherlands. Mr Lichtendal drove the Porsche on special licence plates before selling it in August 1995 when it was registered in the Netherlands. New owner Van Kessel Sportcars, Helmond sold the Porsche to J van Wirdum in April 1996, and the following month its authenticity was checked and confirmed by the Netherlands importer, Pon Porsche, Leusden.
While in its new ownership the car was treated to an extensive restoration, commencing in 2009. Repairs undertaken included replacing the inner and outer sills; realigning the right inner wing; replacing the complete roof; and cutting out and replacing all rusted panels wherever possible with new OEM parts. The Carrera was refinished in its original Hell Gelb (bright yellow) livery and kept in the modified 1974 configuration that it had been in for almost its entire life which for the public eye diverted the attention from the fact that it was a genuine 2.7 Carrera RS.
In 2015 the car was sold to the current vendor, since when it has been restored to original condition, the rebuild being completed in 2018. Works undertaken included a complete engine and gearbox overhaul by Porsche specialist Dominiek Van Audenhoven. At Bonhams' request the Porsche was inspected by renowned RS gurus, Gert and Gaby Callewaert, who are happy with the car's authenticity and confirm that it retains its original engine block and major components. The Callewaerts' nine-page report is on file (perusal recommended). Offered with restoration invoices and a most substantial file of history, this fully restored and exceptionally well-documented Carrera RS is worthy of the closest inspection.

Artigo


Cassie Langan e seu marido, Chris vivem no sul da Austrália com seus três filhos, com idades entre 10 e 17 anos.  Devido a rotina de trabalho e as aulas, é raro que toda a família tenha um dia livre para ficarem juntos.
No dia 12 de janeiro, o casal decidiu fazer uma viagem de um dia para uma cidade vizinha, Warrnambool. Para a surpresa deles seus filhos não estavam nem um pouco interessados.
“Fomos recebidos com a resposta ‘é tão chato que eu não quero ir’. Então, Chris e eu decidimos que, em vez de levar 3 crianças desagradáveis, deixaríamos eles em casa e levaríamos nosso membro da família que mais trabalha para um merecido dia de folga…nosso modem”, brincou Cassie em um post do Facebook.
E foi exatamente isso que o casal fez. Partiram rumo a Warrnabool levando o modem e deixando dois dos seus três filhos sem internet.  “O modem teve um dia fantástico principalmente por não ter sido usado pelas crianças e foi adorável não ouvir brigas constantes.”
Na volta para casa, Cassie percebeu que sua atitude contribuiu para que seus filhos pudessem lembrar como é não estar na internet o tempo todo. Ela contou que sua filha de 17 anos estava tão entediada que limpou o quarto e passou um tempo com o irmão mais novo.
