RM Sotheby’s, who are hosting the sale, stated: “The Carrera RSR 3.8 offered here, chassis 496096, stands among the most compellingly specified examples.

“Purpose-built for endurance competition and subsequently the subject of a careful restoration by leading marque specialists.

“With its limited production, motorsport pedigree, and formidable performance, this Carrera RSR 3.8 offers a rare opportunity to acquire a factory-built, air-cooled racing 911, equally suited for concours display or a return to spirited competitive use.”
