We’ve been taking a look at cars now eligible for importation to the US over the last week or so. We’ve had a good response to this new feature and plan to continue on with it from time to time. We’ve saved the best for last this week with one of the purest Porsche 911s of recent memory: the 911 Carrera RS. Right after Christmas, we took a look at a 1993 Carrera RS in my favorite Porsche color of Mint Green. The Carrera RS was deemed a bit too aggressive for US customers so we received the RS America instead. This 1992 Carrera RS for sale near Münster, Germany is not yet legal for import, but soon will be, albeit at a very steep cost.

First registered in December 1991, this is an early production Carrera RS. So those interested in one of these pure 911s can look forward to gaining access to yet another interesting model that never made it to US shores in relatively short order. The Carrera RS we saw last month had a little over 10,000 more miles on the clock so I’m a bit confused as to why this one would carry an almost $200,000 premium. Whatever the case may be, these 911s are one of my favorite 911s of all time. Sure, they aren’t as flamboyant or fast as the Turbo models, but these back to basic sports cars have a purity about them that simply can’t be match by a modern day 911. Sadly, with exception for the well-heeled collector, these Porsches are now out of reach.

Anybody ever try to import one of the >25 year old classics to the USA? I would be interested to hear your story. I brought a couple of motorcycles in to the USA and it was not very easy. Not sure if a car would change that calculus.
