EXPORT 56 (STAND 36) DISPLAY 3 STUNNING 914/6GT’s

Brief Background to the 914/6GT’s

In 1969/70 Porsche racing department built 12 x 914/6 GT race cars for the factory as follows….3 Prototypes/test cars, 2 Targa Florio practice cars, 3 marathon de la Route cars, 3 Monte Carlo Rally Cars and 1 RAC Rally Car. All factory cars were painted Signal Orange.

Porsche also offered the 914/6 with a M471 Racing option, they were built at the production assembly line and at Bauer with the exception of some specific components, 47 of these customer 914/6 GT’s where built. IN addition to these cars the factory offered a GT kit, that was delivered with a regular 914/6. The kit was supposed to be fully installed by designated Porsche dealers. It is unknown how many kits were sold and how many were adapted to race cars.

From the 12 race department cars, 2 were scrapped and first one didn’t have the fender flares and full race package.  This leaves only 9 GT cars from the 3 Monte Carlo Rally cars, the Waldegaard car was scrapped, the Anderson car was sold to Recaro and then change into the famous Linge race track rescue car which only leaves 7 surviving cars.

In 1970 when Porsche won overall at Le Mans for the first time in the legendary 917 a privateer racing a 914/6 GT finish a remarkable 5^th overall, a fantastic achievement for this gutsy little mid-engine 2.0 Flat 6 race car. Ironically it was only beaten by the race prototype Ferrari’s and Porsche’s!
