    Is anyone familiar with this car?
    I'm thinking on heading down to see it.
    Any words of wisdom/comments?

      They have had for sale for a while, so might be open to offers.

        Is the chassis number right, I was under the impression they started P1 on a RS?

          Yep, it's a bit dear, and I don't think it's worth quite that much.
          Could be worth a visit though.
          The one in Aberdeen is a much better price and comes with lots of spares. Private seller though, so I can't p/x.

            It says no modifications, but hasn't it been lowered?

              Could possibly be saggy OEM springs.

                  How would I know in person if it had been lowered?
                  To rectify this, is it just a case of replacing with OEM springs?

                        Thanks Rob, very kind of you to offer.
                        I don't want to put you out, but if you were passing anyway i'd appreciate it if you could pop in by and let me know how it looks. But no pressure.

                        Thanks!!

                          can't comment on this particular car, but can on the dealer selling it. had my heart set an a golf rallye years ago and spent ages looking for one, the one came up for sale @ GMUND. from his own " personal collection ", better than new apparently !
                          you know the story, waste of a day. said all the right things to get me there, was scrap when i did get to see it.
                          he's a porsche " specialist " !!! ie, lots of 40 -50 year old men go there at weekends for a brew and pay thousands to have there cars worked on. the cars he had in for sale, i wouldn't buy for half the price. but just my opinion. probably taken in px against a 993 or something. 10-12k it probably stands him at. or i may be completely wrong.
