That is interesting!!! Look at them carbs... :mrgreen:

£2678... is that right?! It has to be good for that kind of money, how many of the R Sports were actually ever made? I've only ever seen that white/cream one.

I mean look at the pic.. No turbo piping. Air filters are attatched straight to carbs. That's what I meant. :P

That car seems odd to me. I'm guessing its a stock 343 with the B19GT fitted (as well as the rest of the tuning kit - hence the R-Sport cam cover), as I too thought they were all white.

Having said that, its got the wrong carbs.

Given that its fairly clearly not original, I'd not be rushing to part with £2600 for it. In a year or two I'd be well up for dropping that kinda money into a nice original 343 R-S though.

cheers

Tuev is TÜV which means that it is MOTed and street legal in Germany.

Actually yes, that's a very cool bit of kit....but certainly not anything at all to do with R-Sport!
