Overview

Introduction

The 1969 Porsche 908/02 Spyder is one of the most beautiful Porsche race cars of all time, with only 22 examples built by Porsche. This particular car, with VIN 908/02.010, has a significant racing history, including three 1st place finishes and six total podiums, as well as entries into the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Targa Florio.

Racing History and Provenance

The car began its racing career as a Porsche Werks factory team car, driven by notable drivers such as Vic Elford, Richard Attwood, and Gerard Larrousse. It was later sold to privateer teams, including Richard Brostrom and Andre Wicky, who continued to race the car with success. The car's livery changed several times over the years, and it was eventually restored to its original configuration by Richard Griot of Griot's Garage in the 2010s.

The car's racing history includes numerous events, including the BOAC International 500, the Targa Florio, and the ADAC Nurburgring 1000KM. It was also entered into the 24 Hours of Le Mans multiple times, and was driven by a variety of notable drivers, including Pedro Rodriguez and Masten Gregory.

Restoration and Current Condition

The car underwent a full concours-level restoration in the early 2010s, commissioned by Richard Griot of Griot's Garage. The restoration included a new body and chassis work, as well as a rebuilt 3.0L flat 8 engine. The car is currently in excellent condition, with its reportedly original transaxle and period-correct engine.

The car is eligible for racing events worldwide, thanks to its FIA documentation, and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, whether on the track or in a concours setting. With its clear and continuous history, this 1969 Porsche 908/02 is one of the finest examples in existence, and is a true crown jewel of any collection.
