    Another 4.0 RS at the same event with interesting plate (reference no doubt to the RSR crank which the 4.0 RS uses in its Mezger engine).

    Last one for now: Romans International of Banstead, Surrey in the UK sold this 2012 4.0 RS # 559/600, with the following notes:

    "Originally supplied by Porsche Centre Boras in Sweden this is an EU spec left-hand-drive version which we believe to be one of the last registered cars in Europe having been first registered on the 31st of March 2012, and is officially car number 559 of the 600 built worldwide".

    A Swedish-delivered car now presumably in a UK home, exemplifying the international re-location of many of these cars, not surprising with just 600 for the world.

    Here is a funny story worth sharing:

    So a Porsche enthusiast decided he wanted to buy a 4.0 RS. Within 24 hrs he heard of 2 available.

    So he hops on his jet, flies to see the first one, and buys it.

    He then flies to see the second one, and buys it too!

    Almost identical cars, except one has adaptive seats and the other has racing seats (can anybody say Road & Track?)

    Its all true, and, featured here bought a GT3RS 4.0 ... twice - Rennlist Discussion Forums , plus there are pics to prove it!

    Thank you V, and welcome to our humble little RS thread!

    I didn't want to post the ID plaque without permission, but now that you have, I'll oblige by posting what it is attached to.

    The production 4.0 RS from which all others descend, in Paint To Sample Gelbgrün (1974 3.0 RS color), simply fabulous!

    Great guy!

    He has since sold the 4.0 and that F40.

    He got a 81 512 BB from us, not too long ago.

    Joe,
    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the 4.0's were NOT built in sequential order (i.e., car #1 wasn't the first built, nor #600 the last).
