Aluminum crankcase instead of magnesium.According to Pohl’s court filings, the Porsche had been modified from a “Type F” car (1972–73) to a “Type G” car (1974–up). He then had the car thoroughly inspected and learned that his first impressions were correct. When the Porsche first arrived at his garage, Pohl claims that he was immediately disappointed with its condition. Coys also represented it is as being a “very good” car, according to Pohl, who relied upon that information when he bought the car. Instead, Pohl claims that he contacted a Coys representative to inquire about the Porsche and, in a series of emails and text messages, was assured that the car was an authentic and genuine Porsche Carrera RS with its original first engine, and that Coys would take the car back if it was not. He never saw the car or had anyone inspect it. In October 2018, he paid £390,000 to purchase 1973 Porsche Carrera RS chassis number 9113600936 from the former (see explanation below) Coys of Kensington, in a private sale ahead of a then-upcoming Coys auction in the U.K. Unfortunately, he isn’t any better off in this regard than the rest of us.
