Al_W Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Interesting to hear him talk of taking the fight to the Audis until near the end I hope there's plenty of event footage from TT available....
Shoestring Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 What is that car? It doesn't look like a SC/RS, and has Almeiras bros arch entensions but no front oil cooler. SS7
Al_W Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 As in the title, it's apparently the SC he used in the 1981 San Remo. After I posted this I realised JG had of course beaten me to it on his blog and in much greater detail: http://www.johndglynn.com/porsche-targa-ta...-rohrl-sc-rally
reedminor Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 They are still going - but have broken the same drive shaft that broke on the 1981 Sanremo! The car was repaired overnight ( I would suggest another driveshaft was either found quickly or flown overnight from Melbourne). IB's are leading the classic category, as an indecently quick Ford Perana ( a South African built Capri with a small block V8) spun off today. The weather it seems has gone feral. Follow the progress of the rally on www.targatasmania.com.au. Outright the event is being led by a Nissan GTR (driven by an expatriate Scot who also has several Porsches). Jim Richards ( Australia's Walter Roerhl) is 5th in a GT2RS .
Matthew Barnes Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Beautiful machine. Great article in one the total 911s (JG may have penned it) about a chap who has two SC Rally cars - both with serious provenance. One of them has a 3.9 litre in the back. Imagine that kick in the pants! In my humble opinion, they are some of the most beautiful Porsches ever made: stance, shape, and serious go.
Fred Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 what we know about that car is that it is a bit of a dog. the car did not finished Milan San Remo 30years ago and it didn't finnish tasmania for the same reasons again. mush better in a museum than on the road that thing!!!

Drive shaft both times? A consistent 'dog'. Still wouldn't kick it out of my garage for leaking oil on the floor.
