This is the winner a number of key races and looks to me to have been restored by Mr. Ruf himself. Pretty much the ultimate.

There are some great photos in the brochure and some really neat touches that I think some replicas might want to emulate:

- the leather door check strap looks cool, and candidly could probably be made from an old leather belt and the "emergency top" tie downs.

- I am curious if anyone could identify what is above the clock

- Note the mounting of the front windshield
