Sure, this is a Porsche 914/6 GT factory test car–already special on its own–but with it, you get the first 914/6 GT engine built, No. 6400001.
This 914/6 originally came without an engine and was described as “Versuch” or experimental. However, engine No. 640001 was first paired with this chassis, according to the seller.
Why isn’t the engine in the car now? Here’s what Bonhams had to say about that: “Interested parties should note that for historical preservation reasons the car is currently fitted with a twin spark plug 2.0-Litre S engine, numbered 961200. This engine was fitted to the car and rebuilt in 2016 and delivers around 220bhp. It has only been used on the track for set up and testing purposes. The historically important engine case with number 6400001 comes as part of the Lot but is not currently fitted. It will require a rebuild by the new owner should they chose to install it.”
