Talking to the guy he said it was made from parts Ruf had, apparently the original owner asked Ruf about air cooled cars not thinking they could do it and they said; 'you can have what you like'! So he said I'll have a 993 please!
The guy bought it over from California about 9 months ago, all he would say was he had some fun with the DVLA getting it registered! As Citori said we didn't broach the subject of price, it's got to be well into six figures.
Regarding copyright/infringement etc he made a comment to me about how RUF and the Porsche family use to be quite close so perhaps there was an agreement of sorts - be interesting to know whether since Porsche isn't now an independent company this would still stand.
He did make us laugh at the end saying he'd learnt something new about the car! (that the 05 plate made it look very unusual).
Certainly was a lovely car and the owner was very low key about, which was great to see.
