The vehicle in detail

this car

This car, number 33 of 50 produced for the 1990 season, was sold new to the veteran German driver Rolf Rosenkranz in February 1990. Rosenkranz, who raced with Uwe Alzen finished 20th of the 50 cars that season. Rosenkranz continued to race the car in 1991 competing in Porsche Cup at the British and Belgian Grands Prix though the car’s racing highlight was in the 1991 24 hours of Nürburgring where it finished 3rd in class and 4th overall, narrowly being beaten by the 964 of Uwe Alzen.

Rosenkranz sold the car in 1992 to a collector in Germany before it was sold to Philip Harris in 1998 who imported the car to the UK and was very successful behind the wheel of it in Porsche Club and Intermarque races. In 2001, the car was sold to Ben Rapp who continued to race it. The previous owner bought the car in 2013, and with the help of Rolf Rosenkranz totally restored it to original specification. The car retains its matching numbers engine and gearbox and is accompanied by an extremely substantial history file documenting the cars’ racing career and restoration.
