Much like the vaunted 1967 Porsche 911 R, the 1984 Porsche 911 SC RS was built in small batch of less than two dozen, built strictly to go racing – yet also remained road legal. While Porsche had a difficult time finding the proper slot to race the 911 R, homologation for FIA Group B World Rally would be the home for the SC RS. 

Beginning with a reinforced, seam-welded widened body shell of 911 Turbo specification, in the words of Colin Chapman, lightness was added. Aluminum front doors, hood, and front fenders are highlights along with thinner Glaverbel glass, glass reinforced plastic front and rear bumpers unique to the SC RS, and a lack of undercoating. A minimalistic interior with lightweight “Lollipop” fixed seats borrowed from the Porsche 935 along with door pocket, radio, power window, rear seat, heat, and sunroof delete cut the SC RS’s homologated weight to 980 kilograms or 2,160 pounds.

Of the 21 SC RS produced, Porsche’s own internal documentation confirms that five were earmarked for Rothmans Porsche Rally Team and Dave Richards Engineering, later known as Prodrive to contest innumerable cut and thrust rally events worldwide. A number of others were quickly sequestered for private collections; chassis 018 was delivered to the world-famous Matsuda Collection of Japan and 015 was delivered via Carlsen Porsche to Dr. William Jackson’s quiet collection based in Denver, Colorado. This particular example chassis 021 —the final SC RS produced — was first earmarked for South African importers Lindsay Saker; however, it was diverted, eventually landing with Tycho Christian van Dijk, owner of the eponymous van Dijk Racing Team in February 1984.
