The Appeal
The original Porsche 718 RSK Spyder is one of the most celebrated racing cars in Porsche's storied competition history. Developed in 1957 to compete at Le Mans and across international motorsport, these mid-engined racers were piloted by legends including Sir Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, and Dan Gurney. With only around 16 original examples believed to survive today, and those commanding prices between £1,700,000 and £4,000,000 when they appear at auction, the 718 RSK represents an unobtainable piece of motorsport heritage for most enthusiasts.
This 1975 recreation offers an accessible entry point into the 718 RSK experience whilst maintaining authentic proportions and engineering philosophy. The GRP body was moulded directly from a genuine original car, capturing the subtle variations and character of the factory racers whilst offering greater durability than the original aluminum construction. The chassis follows the same space-framed design philosophy, with a mid-engined, air-cooled flat-four layout that mirrors the original's engineering concept.
This particular example benefits from a completely rebuilt engine and presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking the 718 RSK's iconic silhouette and driving experience. Originally delivered new in the Netherlands in 1975, it has never been imported or exported, maintaining clean Dutch registration throughout its life. The seller can assist with worldwide transport and shipping, making this an accessible proposition for international buyers seeking a piece of Porsche racing heritage.Porsche 718 RSK (10).jpg1.77 MB
