I believe it's a Ruf piece....I am in the process of researching its value. Aside from wear on the area where the driver's seat touched it, it's perfect.

Thanks man. Looking forward to experiencing big power with AWD traction.

I should have the car back tomorrow with the clear bra and curb rash repair done. Anything going on this weekend?

Enjoy in good health!!
Thanks, man. It's a conversion. The previous owner took it to Ruf for everything....even routine service receipts show multiple flatbed fees for the 500+ mile round trip.

That does not appear to be a Ruf bar.

Generally speaking, Ruf offers a full integrated roll cage (IRC), which is seam welded to the chassis and has to be done in Pfaffenhausen. This does not appear to be fitted to your car, and unless it is a Ruf VIN car or converted in Germany, it won't have it.

You are correct, sir. Apparently it is a Porsche piece that was leather wrapped by Ruf. I will be posting an ad in the classified section soon.
