It has not appointed an official distributor in the UK before, but such is H.R. Owen Ecurie's expertise and experience across numerous high-profile brands that it's the perfect dealership for Rennsport.

The Cheltenham dealership currently has two Rennsport Porsches for sale; the first of which draws Hollywood inspiration from Steve McQueen's 1971 film, Le Mans.
