        • This Fuhrmann engine is not the original engine who has desapeared the actual ex- wner having bought this car in 1994 fitted with a 2.0 L 6 cylinders engine
          The 4 cams Fuhrmann was sold by the Porsche factory in 1997 in order to allow the ex-owner to race it in historical competition races
          For those interestede the Fuhrmann engine is a 987/3 serie number P 99057 and comes from 904-059

          Several car known as having been totally destroyed are to day proudly displayed as the original car when in fact the only original part on these car is the VIN papers that have always been kept and resold to a not too concern owner after a total destruction

                Robert Dutoit also continued to race it from January 1967 until October 1969 when he sold it to Bernard Consten
