Race Retro Classic & Competition Car Sale 2020 21st - 23rd February 2020

www.silverstoneauctions.com 41 Competition Cars - Friday 21st February 2020 + buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20% Banbury, probably the most highly respected specialists in this field and certainly vastly experienced in preparing 911s for demanding rallies. They have continued to assist in the running of the car and we understand that KLM has now competed in some 53 events in the UK and Europe, with roughly half of those being multi-day events that could last up to a week. One of the most notable was the gruelling 2018 HERO LeJog Reliability Trial, which winds its way up through 1,500 miles of the UK from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the most southerly point of England to the northernmost tip of Scotland. It challenges crews with incredibly tough navigational challenges, difficult terrain and a schedule that doesn’t really allow for sleep. If you can survive LeJog, you earn serious rally kudos. To quote Petrolicious, “Of the 71 starters, just 51 made it through the four days, three nights, 16 driving tests and 31 regularities to the finish, with retirements due to mechanical failures, accidents and sheer exhaustion”. Not only did this cracking Porsche make it through, but it also won a Gold Medal demonstrating its mechanical reliability and overall capability. Naturally, with years of successful competition, there is a fair amount of magazine features and articles written about this special car and they will accompany the car. The ultimate accolade was for a post-rally KLM to be displayed in the magnificent Rotunda of the RAC’s Pall Mall clubhouse during January 2019. We do understand that the engine and gearbox were fully rebuilt around 10,000 miles ago and that, more recently, the car has been fully serviced and cosmetically refreshed post-LeJog. It will be supplied with five sets of wheels (4 Minilites and 1 Fuchs) and we are informed has FIVA and FIA technical papers which will be included in the car’s history file with the usual invoices, log books etc. This remarkable Porsche has enjoyed three lives, initially as one of less than two-dozen, UK-supplied, right-hand drive MFIs, subsequently wearing a new set of clothes when it was transformed into an RS and latterly as a very successful road-rally car.
