In the vast 1980s, an extraordinary story of passion and dedication unfolded, led by the visionary Alois Ruf Sr. The fascination with Porsche began with a dramatic event. Senior had founded a tour bus company; during a drive through scenic Bavaria, Ruf Sr. saw a Porsche 356 lose control and go off the road with a bang. Like a true lifesaver, he brought the damaged gem back to his workshop. The restoration of this 356 became not only a passion project, but also the beginning of a new era. His heart stolen by the 911, Alois Ruf Jr. later took the wheel. He decided to focus entirely on Porsche, with a special emphasis on the 911. From the company's German headquarters, Ruf Jr. began refining Porsche models. This example, a rare Carrera 2 RUF from the sought-after 964 generation, saw the light of day in sunny France in 1989. Shrouded in refined Marine Blau Metallic, this classic exudes purity and elegance. Every detail of this RUF has been carefully preserved, including the original booklets and documentation.
