This magic 1988 Porsche 962 CK6 was raced successfully in the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship and World Sportscar Championship by Leyton House Racing. Looking absolutely spectacular in its iconic livery, it’s up for sale at Duncan Hamilton.
The car, CK6 01-2, debuted at the 1000 km Suzuka, driven by Bruno Giacomelli and Naoki Nagasaka. It was Leyton House Racing’s second CK6 01 and was put into action to replace the Kris Nissen/Bruno Giacomelli car that was crashed in practice for the 1988 Fuji 500 Miles a month earlier.
Giacomelli and Nagasaka would take the car to fourth on its debut, and it continued to find success into the 1989 season. That year it would race in both the World Sportscar Championship and the JSPC, attaining a career-best finish when Hideki Okada and Masanori Sekiya drove it to victory in the 1989 Fuji 500 Miles.
At the conclusion of the 1989 season, the car went to Kremer Racing in Germany, who retired it from its period racing career. Erwin Kremer took it into his personal collection, eventually rebuilding it and preparing it for historic competition at the Kremer factory. Following its rebuild, Ralf Kelleners and Caspar Elgaard would drive it successfully in historics throughout Europe.
The car will be sold with an ownership history file, an email from the late Erwin Kremer confirming its history, Wagenpass and comprehensive documentation of its rebuild at Kremer.
Its sale has been entrusted to Duncan Hamilton, and you can find the full details on their official website here.
