The 914 with its flat four and the 914/6 with its flat-six were innovative mid-engined cars intended for series production at Porsche. The light and quick 914/6 soon proved its worth on the track, winning its class and finishing sixth overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 - and it would continue to do well at the hands of racing enthusiasts for years to come. But Porsche moved on rather quickly - at least when compared to normal production series for the marque. Production of the 914/6 stopped in 1972, with just 3,332 examples built. The 914 continued to 1976, with 115,500 units completed.
In 1969 and 1970, the Porsche Racing Department built 12 914/6 GT cars for the factory entered races. Three prototype and test cars, 2 Targa Florio practice cars, 3 Marathon de la Route cars, 3 Monte Carlo rally cars and one RAC rally car. This car was built in November 1970 for the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally. There were three factory 'Werks' cars entered in the rally and this car was entered for Porsche driver Gerard Larrousse and his navigator J-C Parramond - but retired when the clutch lever broke. After the rally, this car was taken to Sicily for reconnaissance of the Targa Florio event and assigned to Vic Elford for his practice. Vic drove the car from Stuttgart to Monza where he was competing in the 1000 km race in a 917 and then he continued on to the Targa Florio event. It was later sold to Porsche race engineer Walter Naher, who kept it and eventually restored it. Thereafter, the car passed to Jeff Zwart and is now in the collection of Phillip Sarofim.
