has been in the hands of an esteemed Porsche collector for some time. Also of
note, it was never severely damaged or dismantled and today remains in superbly
presented condition.

thrilled to have been entrusted with the sale of this spectacular part of
Porsche history, offered from one of the best curated private Porsche
collections in the world. This particular GT1 is an incredibly impressive
example, not just because of its successful race history but also because it has
lived a life mostly spared from serios damage or drama and it remains in
exceptional overall condition. Impressively, the GT1 was collectible on day one
of its life, and today, that remains even more so the case."
