Delivered via Swiss distributor AMAG; Schlup served as vice president of the Ecurie Biennoise team and campaigned the car across thirteen European races over two seasons.

Swiss-registered motorsport outfit associated with the Formula 1 driver; the car was held in inventory rather than actively campaigned under this ownership.

Raced the car in the 1972 European GT Championship with support from Porsche Club Romand, then placed the car with a Geneva dealership as a display piece after the season concluded.

Geneva-based dealer held the car as a showroom exhibit after the 1972 racing season; served as the intermediary for its subsequent sale.

Stuttgart-based owner stripped and refinished the bodywork, stored the original engine separately, and commissioned a full restoration completed in early 2021 including repatriation and rebuild of the original powerplant.

One of two sequential owners who held the original 2.0-liter race engine between 2002 and 2020 while it remained unmolested on its storage pallet.

Second of two owners who held the detached original engine during the period 2002–2020; engine was returned to the consignor late in 2020.

A different 914/6 GT, not chassis 32, achieved this result; included here as contextual background for the model's racing significance mentioned in the catalogue.

Best result achieved by chassis 32 during its time with Ecurie Biennoise; the strongest single-event finish across both racing seasons.

After acquisition, the chassis was stripped to bare metal and repainted in Guards Red; minor racing damage, primarily to the front left, was identified and repaired at the same time.

Historic photographs on file document the damage and the repair process, as well as structural features confirming factory-prepared provenance.

The original 2.0-litre Carrera 6 race engine was removed and placed in dry storage; a 2.7-litre 911/83 unit sourced from a Carrera RS was installed in its place.

The substituted engine allowed the car to be used sparingly on the road while preserving the original competition unit.

The original 2.0-litre Carrera 6 engine, recovered after roughly two decades in external storage, was completely overhauled and returned to factory specification by an air-cooled Porsche specialist.

The engine had remained undisturbed on its storage pallet since 1980; specialist workshop is located in Eupen, Belgium.

Comprehensive restoration completed, returning the exterior to the period-correct Tangerine colour with Ecurie Biennoise racing livery reinstated.

Restoration encompassed both cosmetic and mechanical elements; completed March 2021.
