rubystone red - Page 3 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

hi guys..1st post anyone out there know how many 964 rs were produced in rubystone red ?

No idea but there has been one at Paragon for ages. Looks great in their advert.

It's pink. Very small market for this colour.

the information you need is here: www.optimax.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=6838&WT.srch=1

look, is someone going to laugh at that, or wot? i have other things to do you know....:tsk:

If you want something to laugh at............. www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2006/sinking-p1.php

sounds to me like bogtrotter is already having a laugh, no one would want a pink porsche, or a norfolk lilac one for that matter, doh! >> Edited by DucatiGary on Wednesday 31st May 14:13

Too many.

ho ho ho...bogtrotter is not having a laugh..but he may be colour blind!..have just done deal on rs in this colour from jhonny wishbone.what a lad! excelent service as usual.there must be someone else out there who thinks its a cool colour? no more links to opticians guys...!

one of the guys on here has one, his logins something like 911 fan or something. does Johnny wishbone talk like barry scott in real life too?

did he force tracy and her zymol offers onto you?

apparently he speaks fluent "caps lock" is this true? >> Edited by DucatiGary on Wednesday 31st May 17:01

My daughter thinks Pink cars are cool. She is 4 though.

youre even funny abroad.

think he speaks yorkshierese...rs is having the "royale"treatment..Am I mad ?have come out of a 996tt for this? colour blind and daft !

this post is useless with out pictures! (sorry dont have the smiley version. nervous?)

no, i think its great. you people should be treated with as much respect as the rest of us. say it loud. plus, it just leaves more rampant totty for us real men.

maybe "come out" should read sold!

how you define yourself is nothing to do with us. and we cant descriminate against you for it anyway. are you the red indian or the biker cop?

bogtrotter's getting upset now...I think its a lovely colour..suits my eyes!

oh god, youre a schizophrenic too? man, talk about damned before you start. still, i spose youll always have a boyfriend that way.

must be the country air up here ..gay no ..slightly happy yes ...or will be when mr wishbone has preped the car..pink car..blue house..perhaps theres a pattern emerging here.

maybe. what colours your dress?

Both of the Porsche club 964RS secretaries are out at Spa right now, they will have the best idea...wait for them to see this thread in a day or two for a response. As a guess I would think perhaps 10% of 64RS were in Rubystone, so at least 200 cars.

ah at last someone sane..thanks clubsport will await further info from these guys..no offence nervous!

*humph*

I like the colour but I lived in Brighton for 10 years .

If it has the mag wheel centres (ie rims left silver) painted rubystone aswell then it looks bloody great - put it this way, no one will not notice you!

Great colour on an RS. Shame the same compliment can't be made of some of the utter Pie & Piston style shite on this thread. Come on guys, answer the question or be original, otherwise don't bother. DAZ >> Edited by dazren on Thursday 1st June 22:13

thatd be me then. sorry daz.

The 964RS was the last car that Ferdinand Porsche entirely designed himself; as a clay model by hand and he modelled it in Rubystone Red. This colour apparently represents the love of the creator and is supposed to charge with energy and vitality, so I have been informed... There is a 964rs in Rubystone Red at the Porsche museum, and it features on their line up of icons representing the 964. There were about 30 RHD originally manufactured - more, but not sure how many LHD. Apparently the numbers have seriously dwindled with people totalling what is a very snappy car, over the years. There are apparently 5 non-RS 964's in existence. 4 of these are 964's and one is a 996 that was subject to a high court case between the owner who spec'd it with a non - experienced sales guy at a Porsche UK dealership who did not know Porsche banned the colour from being used on non-964's. Porsche lost the battle on the grounds that a written order had been completed and therefore constituted a contract. A genuine 964RS in Rubystone red, RHD, with a genuine blue-printed engine - which is what it was supplied with - should be knocking on the door of £100k today. Beware of copies.

You waited 6 months for your first post and drag up a 6 year old thread????!!! You don't have a rubystone 964RS that will shortly be coming to market do you by any chance......

An excellent five year old thread. It gives a great insight as to how PH has evolved, back then lots of drivel written by a few in the clique, from there it became a really worthwhile font of info with plenty of very knowlegeable contribitors, then Haymarket took over and slowly the diehard core started their exodus . . . Rubystone ? If nothing else, it proves the Germans do have a sense of humour. P.S I owned the Rubystone RS below, try as hard as I could, I just couldn't carry off driving around in a car of that hue !

I love the colour and the RS that is up for sale at the moment looks stunning IMHO! Would have one in an instant... ...and no - I'm not a shirt lifter! Cheers The Moose

Sorry to bring up a dead thread but the question I am also quite curious about was never really answered. I have heard the total being around 20-25 Rubystone 964 RS in 2020 remain. Too me that seems quite low. Can anyone else shed some light?

I love the colour. My old Caterham 7 HPC in Rubystone Red (Pink in the V5). I didn't spec the colour, but it grew on me. Always split opinion in the car park.

Too me that seems quite low. Can anyone else shed some light? There’s a 964 RS Databse private Facebook group run by a guy called Martin Lawrence who keeps a register http://www.964rsdatabase.com/database.html He’s your man. You could either request to join the group, he’s so on the PCGB forums or his contact details are on that website. Once you’ve found out come back and tell us ! I think there are more than 25...based on how often you see pictures pop up. Hope that helps.

Apologies for dredging up a million year old thread but does anyone know what the v5 states colour wise for Rubystone red? Thanks

Get the new book devoted to the 964 RS - it’s mega if a little expensive. I’ll have a look later tonight and revert with numbers.

Numbers of Rubystone cars in the total production run, split between basic 964 RS, M002 RS Touring and M003 Clubsport - i would have to do more digging to establish how many of those cars were C16 UK cars, i think less than 10 but that’s just by memory.
