Furthermore, the lighting system/electrics were changed to German specifications using the original cable harness and an emergency stop switch was installed in the glove compartment. The interior was partially renewed, with the seats being replaced by BF Tourino sports seats. The rear seats were completely removed.
A complete engine overhaul was carried out at RUF Automobile GmbH / Manufaktur and Porsche Specialist in Pfaffenhausen in 1998, during which the wearing parts were replaced. An original invoice from Ruf for 15,700 DM is available.
In January and February 2015, both heat exchangers (heating) were replaced and a major inspection was carried out. The engine oil seal on the timing belt drive of the injection pump and the timing belt of the injection pump as well as the V-belts were replaced.
The wheel bearing play, the handbrake and the valves were also adjusted
2018 the mechanical injection pump (MFI) was developed by Dr.-Ing. Fritzsche – vintage car technology revised and discontinued. The six-piston injection pump was first dismantled down to the last screw, cleaned and all individual parts were carefully checked for wear or damage. After assembly, the pump was adjusted from scratch with high precision (halved tolerance) according to the manufacturer's specifications in order to ensure that the engine runs smoothly.
The historic sports car is in a very tidy, above-average condition and true to the original general condition, with the functions of the equipment being met without exception. All add-on parts, including doors and hoods, have a precisely fitting appearance in terms of gap dimensions.
A valuation report from 2018 certifies that the car has a condition rating of 2+ and a replacement value of €175,000.
This beautiful 2.2 l F model impresses with its sporty appearance. After being imported from the USA, the car was converted very professionally and with a lot of sensitivity into the way that best suits a 911 original model.
During the restoration, the core principles of Michael Porsche were consistently taken into account: lightweight construction and sportiness.
By dispensing with the rear seats, the chrome sills and installing the RS door panels, the weight was reduced and the car was also subtly lowered. The engine overhaul at Ruf, including the revision of the injection pump, ensures sufficient power and gives the car a sensational driving experience.
