Developed in 1957 for Le Mans and piloted by the likes of Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney, surviving originals now command seven-figure sums at auction. This 1974 recreation, built on a Volkswagen Beetle donor platform with a mid-mounted air-cooled flat-four, captures the iconic silhouette and engineering philosophy of the factory racers at a fraction of the cost.What sets this example apart is its provenance: it remained with its original builder before being purchased recently by the vendor, accumulating just 27,016 km over more than half a century. The 1,600cc engine has been rebuilt with an upgraded valvetrain, twin Dellorto carburettors, an equal length exhaust system, and Bosch electronic ignition, with all receipts for this work included. The body, finished in Porsche Polar-Silver, was moulded to original 718 RSK dimensions with subtly widened arches, and inside, black leather upholstery and bucket seats complete the period-appropriate aesthetic.Every repair, modification, and piece of correspondence has reportedly been documented and retained, and the car has been displayed at shows, with certificates included. The vendor states the paintwork presents well and that the vehicle requires no immediate mechanical work. This represents an appealing opportunity for enthusiasts seeking the 718 RSK experience without the seven-figure price tag.image.png 1.89 MBKey InformationMileage: 27,016 km indicated Country of registration: South AfricaTechnical inspection status: not statedTechnical specs: 1,600cc air-cooled flat-four petrol, four-speed manual, mid-engined, right-hand drivePaperwork: history file including receipts, repair documentation and car show certificates included
