I have started a company in Sweden that offers trips and travel-packages to the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. We are all immense fans of the exquisite Porsche 917K. We have now found a way to have it as a company/rental car! Last year we found Bailey Cars South Africa that actually builds a 100% correct replica, ready for the racetrack.
Imagine having the option to rent a reliable 917K for your trackday!
The car will, according to bailey, take 6 months to build.
here is the site of the constructors. (http://www.baileycars.co.za/)
We are planning to replicate the 917-020 that won the sebring 12h in 1971. Complete with a accurate Martini livery.
Everything is supposed to be 100% correct on this car. Sadly the engine will not be a flat-12 like the original. We will fit a 3,6L flat six from a 993 Porsche and a 5speed G50 gear box. Then we will have a safe, reliable le-mans classic to drive around the most famous tracks in the world.
the calculate Cost is
60500€ to order the car in the correct specification.
5000€ to ship to Sweden
~15000€ for engine+ gearbox
The other 5000€ is a buffert for tyres, rims, eventual transport to spa and troubleshooting if needed.
For the most generous contributors, we will offer a test drive together with the world-class instructors from RSRSpa on the legendary Spa-Francorchamps Racetrack.
Share it or not, I won't judge!
It's for a good cause!
