Finding the Porsche RSR “Ratt”

When I’m not helping to sell the occasional old race car, or visiting old race car meetings, I’ve usually got my head down, researching various projects for clients, usually to do with Porsches—although Lola T70s and the like often pass my way too.

Probably the most interesting project that I’ve had in a long while came my way a couple of years ago. It concerns a Porsche RSR known as the “Ratt”, as it was built up by World renowned Porsche restorer, race mechanic, crew chief et al, Kevin Jeannette of Gunnar Racing, here in Florida.
