I know they do now, but companies like Abarth, etc were not officially sponsored by the manufacturer. They are now but it was a process

but they didn't always did they?

So by your logic essentially customizing a car and selling it for profit is illegal? How about Shelby, Ruf, Dinan, Lingenfelter...

can we just do that anyway?

I cant imagine that Ferrari has a leg to stand on, its private property and the owner can do what he wishes with it.

that's a very valid point, plus you might be able to get a diesel and while your doing that you may as well get a 110.

I see your train of thought at buying cheap and restoring it, but by the time you source a cheap one, have it inspected, ship it over with customs and all that good stuff then restore it, depending on how rough it is, I can almost guarantee you will be spending much more than just buying one here.

just buy one, they imported them for a few years

not sure, maybe you need to post a new comment?

very cool, post some shots if you have them

Bummer! did you rebuild it?

Indeed, and much much more!

Im sure much more than 20% of the car remains. Remember, these aren't full fledged WRC cars based on shitty european hatchbacks. Those realistically probably only do have 20% of the car remaining. These Porsches are based on road cars and as such retain a vast majority of the parts.

One: These cars are meant to be raced. Two: If you want them saved, go buy one and store it. Three: these cars are most likely built from factory prepped race cars a la GT3 Cup, RS etc. It makes absolutely zero financial sense to build a street GT3 into a rally car when one could modify a Cup car or similar to WRC…

my contribution. she's a 1995 Land Rover Defender 90, mild raise, some sweet racks and tire carrier, aftermarket lights, on board compressor. Tons of fun indeed.

AYE!

Agreed,

Looks great, definitely reminds me of a Bentley Conti

So very true.

Did you list to Matt at all? Thats EXACTLY what he is talking about! Oh! its not as fast as the cars you mentioned! What shall we do? Enjoy the DAMN CAR!
