NOVEMBER 1986 PORSCHE 911RS 2.7

Elsewhere in this issue you will find excellent reasons to spend more than $300,000 on a Porsche that a lot of people would be too nervous to drive. Twenty seven years ago, specialist dealer A.O. Dutton must have been equally nervous at their chances of extracting $80K from a market that didn’t fully understand why the 2.7RS was destined to become hugely significant in Porsche history. This is probably a ‘Touring’ version, not the more desirable Lightweight, but its value will still have soared.

SINCETHEN:AnyRS Lightweight that hits the market will virtually guarantee US $1.2 million or more. That makes for happy faces amongst the Aussie owners who handed over $300,000 for a Touring.
