About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Factory development car raced only once, at the Nurburgring 1000km in 1970 where it was driven by Hans Herrmann and Richard Atwood, finishing second overall behind another 908/03. Rebuilt and restored for Siggi Brunn and later for present owner in its Nurburgring livery and is supplied with a spare nose with headlights and engine block. Good paint and upholstery. Chassis and running gear are neat and orderly. Presented in as raced vintage race ready condition.

Market commentary

A special purpose offshoot of the 908 and 917 programs for the twisting courses of the Targa Florio and Nurburgring and successful on both of them. The history and presentation of this 908 is hard to fault especially for a vintage race-ready car, as is the price it brought.
