Recreation/Replica

The vehicle in detail

Power now comes from a 3.4-litre twin-spark MFI flat-six, producing around 300bhp, originally built by Heini Schneebit of HS Racing using high butterfly injection and twin coils, to produce around 300bhp. coupled to a Guard Transmissions five-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. In 2003, it was sold to Nick Faure, who had driven RSRs in period for Porsche GB. He imported the car to the UK, and went on to win the Tour de España in 2006, as well as a 911-only race at Circuit des Remparts in Angoulême. The car was then sold to Sean Lockyear, who won the 2008 and 2010 Tour Britannia, and also competed in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps Race. After an entry into the 2012 Tour of Britain, as well as various test days and outings, its new owner commissioned Mike Bainbridge Engineering to rebuild the engine and gearbox, and Sean Lockyear Specialist Cars to carry out some pre-season race preparation. There are also invoices from FDR Motorsport for around £23,000 worth of rebuild and preparation work.

The car has been kept as part of several different private Porsche collections between 2015 and 2025 with no competition usage. However it has consistently had lots of money spent on maintenance and upkeep. Currently setup for Track, Rally or Road use, it is understood to be eligible for several prestigious international events. The Digital odometer indicates approximately 6,900 miles, but this is not warranted, and the odometer is believed to be on its second cycle. The bodywork of this RSR IROC replica comprises a fibreglass bonnet, extended wheel arches and a ‘Lexan’ glass replacement kit. It is finished in Speed Yellow with black Carrera scripts and a black rear spoiler. There is also a white windscreen strip, four bonnet-mounted spot lamps, and a list of its Historic wins proudly adorning the front wings. The car rides on 15-inch Fuchs-style wheels, finished in black and shod with Michelin racing tyres in fitments 270/45/15 at the front and 335/55/15 at the rear.
