1985 Porsche 962C Coupe

This is one of the most significant Porsche racing cars of all time. The 962 was introduced at the end of 1984. This car, the second 962, was constructed by the factory for the Rothmans team to enter the FIA World Endurance Championship. In the 1985 championship series, chassis 002 was driven by Jack Ickx and Jochen Mass. They finished second at the Brands Hatch 1000 KM and fourth at the Monza 1000 km. In 1987, the car was raced only once - at the 24 Hours of LeMans, driven by Hans Stuck, Derek Bell and Al Holbert. One of three Rothmans team cars, this particular car qualified in second and went on to win the race. In total, 57 complete Porsche 962s were built, along with 35 spare tubs, between 1984 and 1991

This factory 'Werks' car is one of the most historically significant Porsche racing cars of all time. It is the second 962 constructed by the factory and competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship for the Rothmans Porsche factory 'Werks' team.

In the 10 race 1985 championship series, chassis 002, which was driven by Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass, won three times; Mugello 1000km, Silverstone 1000km and the Selangor 800km. They finished second at the Brands Hatch 1000km and a 4th at the Monza 1000km. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans they qualified 2nd and led much of the race only to be slowed by minor mechanical problems to finish in 10th place.

In 1986, the car was mainly used for testing at the factory and as a backup car for Rothmans Team Porsche. It only raced twice that season; the 24 Hours of Le Mans driven by Vern Schuppan and Drake Olson, and the 1000km of Fuji driven by Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck.

It is an all-original car, both engine and monocoque, and has been completely restored to period-perfect configuration.
