The full Classic Retrofit product range has been added to this classic Porsche 911 SC Targa rally car, which is currently en route to South America for the 3rd Maya Classic Rally. Built by the respected Ferrari specialists at Rechsteiner Racing in Switzerland, the car has had a thorough preparation for this epic event, which will cover eight countries in thirty days.
"We have carried out a lot of work on the car to get it ready for this LHD-only rally for pre-1980 classic cars," says Matthieu Audétat at Rechsteiner Racing. "The owner insisted on using all the Classic Retrofit parts - fuse panels, CDI unit and air conditioning - and Jonny has been a great partner, giving us a lot of help with installation and setup."

The combination of monocoque construction, comparatively low weight with incredible durability, rear-engined torque and traction and plenty of space through the car makes the 911 a natural choice. The fact that it is air-cooled also means there is no water system to worry about.
