Rimowa 985.51 Porsche Special Edition 2-Wheel Tsa Pilot Extra Large 56L TSA
Rimowa 985.51 Porsche Special Edition 2-Wheel Tsa Pilot Extra Large 56L TSA. This is an unused, custom-made RIMOWA 985.51 Porsche two-wheeled TSA pilot trolley. As you can see from the model number and serial number, this is an extremely rare, oversized, and unusually rare model even in Germany. It's not a standard commercial PTS model, but a custom model (only a few cars) for Porsche. This is a truly monster pilot case with an estimated 56L of capacity, far exceeding the 46L 928.51, the largest in the standard pilot case line.
Photo shows comparison with the 928.50. Model number W D H Capacity. 928.50 50.5 23.5 42.5 36L.985.51 53.5 35 42.5 56L. This isn't the standard PTS (Porsche Travel System, a collaboration model with Porsche created by Marwin, a Munich design studio prior to LVMH). It's a Porsche-specific design not found on standard Rimowa pilot cases.
The aluminum-bodied PTS has a large turnkey latch that requires a key, but this one is equipped with a TSA combination lock, making it easy to lock and unlock. For some reason, the latch is installed upside down. It is originally a custom specification for storing some kind of electrical equipment, and is equipped with a plug-in outlet (socket) on the exterior side and a cord/plug for connecting to the equipment on the interior side. The cords must be removed for normal use. The aluminum divider near the back is inserted into a metal stay holder and has a special hinge that folds at the top, and is equipped with a jig that holds the equipment. Two aluminum dividers are fitted to the front and inserted into the rubber slits. The condition is very clean and unused, with no visible signs of use inside or out. Because it is custom made, it is not brand new but unused. Please be sure to check the appearance and specifications in the photos. Size: Height 42.5cm x Width 53.5cm x Depth 35cm. 6.3 kg (including interior items). Used a few times, not much wear. International Buyers - Please Note.
