Its reputation and results in racing, as well as its production estimated at only 3532 road cars, make the 2600 RS an exclusive model. This example was bought by its current owner about twenty years ago. A painstaking connoisseur, he had the car fully restored and meticulously prepared. A large file of invoices for more than 70,000 € shows the extent of the work. The body was completely repainted, taking its inspiration from the magnificent livery of the famous 2600 RS driven by François Cevert in 1972. Particular care was taken over the mechanical work, and the engine was completely stripped down and reconditioned. A gearbox with ratios for rallying and a quickshift lever was fitted, in combination with an Atlas rear axle with a 3.75:1 final drive ratio. Inside, a six-point bolted roll cage, leather bucket seats, an intercom system, a Tripmaster and Heuer stopwatches affirm the sporting vocation of this RS. Its weight has been reduced thanks to a fibreglass bonnet and boot lid, and numerous details show the owner’s desire to make this a reliable car. Since then, it has covered 2500 km, and the car took part in the 2017 Tour Auto. Supplied with a set of parts to be collected from the seller (steel panels, rear axle etc.), this rare and good-looking 2600 RS is eligible for many competitive events and needs only a new driver to make its mark on track or rally stages.
