Long before the Porsche 914/6 GT earned its celebrated reputation in endurance racing, chassis 32 was already carving its legacy as a thoroughly documented “works special”—the very first of just 16 customer cars prepared by Porsche’s Werk 1 specifically for privateer competition. Delivered new to Switzerland and campaigned by Ecurie Biennoise under the leadership of Gusti Schlup, this factory-prepared car saw active competition across Europe during the 1970 and 1971 seasons before being acquired by Formula 1 driver Jo Bonnier’s team and later fielded in the 1972 2.0-liter European GT Championship. What followed was a remarkable journey spanning decades of careful stewardship, culminating in a painstaking, period-correct restoration completed in 2021—bringing the car full circle to its original Tangerine paint and Ecurie Biennoise livery, and reunited with its original 2.0-liter twin-plug engine rebuilt by air-cooled specialists BSM Salewsky.
Documented in Porsche: The Racing 914s by Roy Smith and further validated by Porsche authority Jürgen Barth, chassis 32 is not just a race car—it’s a piece of motorsport history with provenance that few others can rival. From its rare factory upgrades and original lightweight components to its comprehensive restoration and rich racing resume, this 914/6 GT stands as a singular opportunity for collectors with an eye for authenticity and heritage. Whether destined for the concours lawn, vintage racing grids, or a curated collection, this one-of-16 Porsche offers not just a seat in the driver’s chair—but a seat in the story of Porsche’s relentless pursuit of competition excellence.
