Just look at this for a minute. Isn’t it the most beautiful image you’ve ever seen? What we have here is apparently the first Porsche 911 R in Belgium and without a doubt one of the coolest examples in the world thanks to a RS silver paint job and red stripes.
The silver Porsche 911 R is number 232 of 991 and it is the only R we’ve seen so far on which the stripes actually work in the car’s favor. Granted, they still look a bit dorky, but the combination of that super classy paint work with the racing look of the stripe give this car a unique and extremely desirable look. Three or four decades from now when this car shows at an auction as a vintage Porsche people are going to crazy for it.
