Suggestion
I guess if you can afford one like this you can explore options but I still doubt you'd drive it, better to buy a tired one and refresh and use I think.

Suggestion
One one side you want a perfect car to start your journey, but this is likely to need a careful look before it's driven (I wonder how the oil and bores survive with years of no use, perhaps temperature changes have meant moisture has corroded oil drained parts as well)

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yes it's a difficult thing when you get cars like this, It deserves to be driven, but a very expensive exercise to do so and you lose a lot of the value.

I guess if you can afford one like this you can explore options but I still doubt you'd drive it, better to buy a tired one and refresh and use I think. I loved my Maritime Blue RS, I had it for 10 years and did 30k kms, but a 10k km mint car then was £25k (well 77,000 DMs in those days)
For me even with the fondness of having had one, it's not a £200k proposition let alone 4 times that. A great car but not THAT great
I agree. this is a car for a private museum to be looked at and not used ... it would be horrendous if on re-commissioning significant issues were to be found.
However ... to be able to see what an N-GT was like as received brand new from Porsche over 30 years ago ... that is wonderful.
This was mine ... did 20,000Km in it ...
And had a lot of fun
What an absolutely stunning RS! Massive Maritime Blue fan here too, back in 2002 when I bought my 964 RS (just had to look that up thought was about 10 years ago!!) had to settle for Polar Silver. In fact my car became a bit of a conversation piece on PH back then. It was Roock 3.8 conversion car which I bought from Michael Roock in Germany but was later found to have had an ‘interesting’ history, and really struggled to sell it. In the end I think I accepted about £24k for it! Always wonder what happened to it….
Fooking cool car, but i’d rather have one to drive than just gaze at. I suppose the sort of collector who buys it will have another one to actually drive.
Love driving mine, even at the ‘wrong’ time of year.
There will be plenty of cars with a "history" now ... the question is really how they were sorted out. Porsche classic parts used to be quite inexpensive etc etc.
The favourite when somebody was trying to sell an air-cooled RS was "I saw that car on its roof"
The real quality on the air-cooled RS concept was that they were built to take ritual abuse, there were no fripperies to cost an owner money that weren't really essential for the purpose of the car, and as an owner Porsche felt spiritually close ...
On the other hand, Porsche were trying very hard up to Weidekind and the 996 / Boxster not to go out of business !
