The car then went to Japan and drove in a few long-distance races there with great success. Each race is documented with location/race track, date, time, qualifying time, best lap, result, etc. The documentation is very good. Everything is written and certified!
The vehicle was never involved in an accident and is still in excellent condition. All body parts are still original and all body part numbers match. The engine has matching numbers, as does the gearbox.
After the end of racing, the outside of the car was repainted and the technology was overhauled before the car went to a private collection in Japan.
A good 18 years ago the car was sold from Japan to Germany, received German road registration and has since been in a German collection owned by a Porsche enthusiast where it was driven from time to time. Two major and one minor service were carried out. Before delivery to the buyer, however, a service will be carried out again at Porsche and new tires will be fitted.
The total mileage is just under 25,000 km.
This factory “GROUP B” specification is extremely rare – according to our information, only 4 or 5 of these 964 Carrera Cup were built in Group B spec. We have legion written documents from the Porsche factory as well as the new car order/invoice which clearly prove that 498112 was ordered, built and delivered in Group B specification. All changes are listed and clearly recorded and still installed. Only the 110 litre racing tank was removed for road approval and is no longer there.
A car like this is as rare as the “Blue Mauritius” and will probably not be on the market for many years. Now is your chance to acquire such a rare piece.
If you are interested, please contact us and we will provide you with the documents and papers we have from the Porsche factory, the racing department and also the racing history.
