1995 911 Carrera RS Clubsport

Originally built to homologate the 911 Carrera for BPR GT3 and GT4 categories of motorsport, Porsche built the 993 Carrera RS. But for some, the new RS was more of a road car and they yearned for something a bit more track focused. These customers got their wish with the M003 Clubsport package for the RS.

This 1995 911 Carrera RS is one of roughly 227 examples with the Clubsport package. It is finished in Guards Red over a Black interior and shows 43,000 miles on the odometer.

The Guards Red paint appears to be in nice condition although the seller notes evidence of repainting. The spartan interior is in good condition as well with the majority of the wear bing on the roll cage pads, which I’m sure are easily replaced. The car has been well-serviced and comes with receipts totaling over $58,000 for work completed in 2022. Overall, a nice example of a very rare Porsche track weapon.

Over the last five years, there have been seven 993 RS Clubsports sold at auctions around the world, with this car being sold twice. The first time it hit the auction block was at RM Sotheby’s 2019 Essen sale where it sold just shy of $257K. The next time this car made an appearance was at RM’s Miami Beach sale in December of 2022 when it sold for $324,000. A solid jump over its 2019 price.

This time, however, the car slid backwards as it hammered at a final bid of $279,000. It looks like even Clubsports have come off their 2022 peak, for now. We’ll see the next time this car shows up at auction.

Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points. 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period. 

And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
