Condition
Second at Le Mans in 1982 (Maas/Schuppan), winner at Spa, Fuji, Brands Hatch and Kyalami. Winner at Le Mans in 1983 (Holbert/Haywood/Schuppan) with the engine famously nursed by Al Holbert to the finish line where it promptly exploded. Later sold by Porsche to Schuppan. 1996 bought by Aaron Hsu and mechanically restored for him retaining the original cosmetics. Orderly and prepared but also used, with erratic cosmetics. Only used in exhibitions in recent years and not historic racing prepared.
Market commentary
It''''s not often a chance comes up to buy a Le Mans winner, let alone one that also finished second, a combination that is probably unique in racing history, so the generous price it brought is entirely understandable.
