9fan Posted 30December, 2021 Report Share Posted 30December, 2021 Thanks Peter, Here is the history of the car I was involved with in 78 to 80. - 1969 Porsche 911 ‘RSR’ Representing the 1970s, this well-raced, former 911S 2.0 litre is arguably Australia’s most successful and prolific 911 racing car. Purchased by Melbourne driver Jim McKeown, it was converted to factory 911 ST specification and competed in Shell livery in the Australian Touring Car Championship in the early 1970s, finishing a close second to Norm Beechey’s V8 Monaro in the 1970 title (as a young lad I watched Jim race against them at Surfers). By the time McKeown sold it at the end of 1971, the 911 had competed in 41 separate races on all major Australian circuits – a figure believed to be a world record for a Porsche ‘Touring Car’. The Porsche then passed through other hands before being rebuilt as a replica Porsche RSR by Melbourne pilot Ross Mathiesen, who drove it to back-to-back titles in the Australian Sports Car Championship in 1978 and 1979. craiggt3rs, LeeM, Grimmy and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedminor Posted 30December, 2021 Report Share Posted 30December, 2021 Wow the original McKeown car…. And it still survives today….. I last saw it at Rennsport in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 30December, 2021 Report Share Posted 30December, 2021 I see one of these in Adelaide from time to time. Not sure if it’s original or replica, Adelaide Rally used to be quite common. Outstanding looking beast😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrnr Posted 30December, 2021 Report Share Posted 30December, 2021 I used to navigate in Tarmac rallies in a 1972 911S that had been turned into a RS replica. Fun car. It still had the electric windows and sunroof. We will not discuss the crappy bolt in roll cage.... Definitely would have been two fatalities had we ever properly left he road looking back on it.

Yep, the current owner asked me to come and have a look at the car which he had repainted black and give me what info I knew about the car as he wanted to represent the car (as shown in my photo) as best he could for Rennsport.
