1962 Porsche 356 Carrera 2 GS Coupé
A 1962 Porsche 356 Carrera 2 GS Coupé with an unbroken chain of documented ownership stretching back to its original delivery to Rabe Graf von Oehnhausen. The car was converted to GT specification in 1967 by its second owner and subsequently raced at Zandvoort, Osnabrück, Brands Hatch, and the Nürburgring. Retaining its original engine and gearbox, it underwent comprehensive bodywork and engine restorations by two of Germany's foremost Porsche specialists and was fully restored between 2008 and 2010, going on to participate in events including the Tour Auto and Gran Premio Nuvolari.
