No one in their right mind would buy a clone thinking it was a real RS. We are talking about cars that are $600k to $1m. All of the real ones are known and tracked. When you buy one, you look up the VIN, see which series it was, check it for all of the RS specific parts (the specific parts depend on where the car fits in the production), look it up in the RS book, see where it was, who owned it, etc.

It's very possible for someone to see an RS clone on the road and think it could be real. It's something else entirely for someone to pay close to $1m for an RS only to find out later that it was a clone. That just doesn't happen.

That's the equivalent of saying that someone needs to be careful when buying a 250 GTO because there are way more GTO's in the world now than the 39 cars they produced. Yes, there are cars that might look like a GTO but there are still 39 GTOs and everyone buying a 250 GTO knows what they're buying.

I know, i was just suggesting what he may have meant. Because there is really no other explanation.
And nice collection of cars you have had, or have.

Not to thread hijack: I have my four favorite sports cars for what I use them for: F40, 550, 348 TB Challenge, 911 R Gruppe. They're not going anywhere. The others were becoming a burden and with prices where they are, it was time to cut them loose. If it's not something that I'm keeping forever, in a market like this it's gone. I will buy some more that fit my needs better and if it's something I'm in love with, it stays. If not, I'll sell it after a year or two trial period. Part of the fun of being a car guy.

I only have room for four cars, though, so I can't buy more until I remedy that.
