The Porsches in the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale

The absolute eyecatcher in the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed sale is not a Porsche. Despite the fact that Porsche is the featured brand at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, because of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Porsche Number 1,  Bonhams did not manage to have any truly exceptional Porsches for sale in the Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale 

The rarest bird among the few Porsches that come up for sale is the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cup Competition.  In 1993 Porsche had introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. In January 1995 the range was extended by the introduction of the Carrera RS. Described by its maker as a ‘street-legal two-seater’. There was also a more ‘hardcore’, though still road-legal, Clubsport version, 100 of which were built to meet the FIA GT2 homologation requirements, and the track-only Carrera Cup. This example is finished in classic Grand Prix White. The car is offered with FFSA Technical Passport issued in 1997 and a copy of the factory specification sheet. The gearbox  is a 6 speed manual, and you’ll have to cope with unassisted steering. Ofcourse the car is equipped with a roll cage and tha sthe iconic biplane rear wing. The car is offered with FFSA Technical Passport issued in 1997), dynamometer printout (300 horsepower), and a copy of the factory specification sheet.
