185,000KM (115,000 miles). Very solid and reliable, no-stories preservation car with all the $$$ spent on maintenance and refresh.

Originally a Porsche Bremen delivery imported to Canada 15 years ago and sold in Halifax, NS to my father in law. A serious health scare left the car with very limited use over 12 years (only 5,000 KM) during which time it received oil changes, replacement of flywheel sensors, a new battery and a DME relay.

I purchased it 2 years ago and have used it as a sunny-weather only pleasure car. No expenses spared, all work by WeTune in the last 18 months:

Engine out for RMS replacement
All leaking or wet seals and gaskets replaced
New SACHS clutch kit installed
Plugs, cap, rotor
Brad Penn, oil filter and air filter
Fresh Swepco gear oil
Brake fluid flush
Calipers cleaned and serviced
AFM cleaned
Shifter bushings replaced
New Interstate battery, ratty battery cable replaced
New front chin spoiler
4 new Conti DW ExtremeContact tires
Complete Elephant Racing suspension kit (OE restoration hardness) including:
• Bilstein HD shocks front and rear
• Sway bar bushings
• Camber plate bushings
• Ball joints
• Control arm and trailing arm bushings
• Turbo Tie rods
Lowered to Euro height and aligned
Misc. cracked/worn instrument and seat switchgear replaced with new OE
Custom color matched Coco Mats
The windshield is new – near perfect with no rash. All the glass is excellent.
There is probably more, need to dig through receipts.

This is an extremely original car with only the radio changed to a later Blaupunkt. It was repainted a long time ago in its rare original color Prussian Blue over matching blue interior.

The Good:
Original and unmodified, w/ factory manual and keys
Many dealer stamps and records from Germany, including license plate
Complete receipts for all work performed here in Canada (15 years worth)

Euro model with higher compression engine and 231 HP
Car does not burn oil
915 shifts smoothly – absolutely no grinding in any gears, synchros are fine
16 inch Fuchs
Factory A/C delete
Euro 915 transmission cooler
Euro side makers, turn signals, H4 headlights
Sunroof
Cargraphic catalytic converter added in Germany (originally was without catalyst)

To be aware of:
The repaint was done a long time ago in Germany – and the car has the usual stone chips in the front and a few minor scratches/dings. Good news is that nothing is being hidden under new paint.

Car was appraised for insurance last year at $52,000 CAD ($40K USD).

Offered at $45K CAD ($35K USD), firm, no tire kickers please.

If it does not sell this month, I will relist it in the spring based on market value then. Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Matt

I've seen the car in person, pictures don't do it justice. And the seller is top notch! They don't call him "Mr. Clean" for nothing.

I'd attempt to buy it myself, but it's too nice even for a semi-daily driver!

Really nice car and I am very partial to blue.Does anyone know what the process would be to import this into US if possible and how much it would cost if there are any costs? Im in Dutchess county New York if that matters.

Yup - very true. In bright light it's definitely a 'purple', but darkens out dramatically in shade and as light falls. I like the fact that I can call it Purple Haze, an added plus! Gotta say, with so many of this vintage in black or red, this is a real gem - and a factory color to boot.

Maybe Ilko will chime in, not hard or expensive as I understand. He SCORED with his perfect RS locally as I recall.

I'm literally 30 minutes from the NY border.

Cheers

Import cost is paperwork + 2.5% duty (if not previously registered in the US). I had a broker do the paperwork for me on the RS, drove the car from Montreal to NYC myself. Not difficult at all.
