Sold to Primus Motorsport who entered it in several IMSA GTP rounds for 1987. Driven predominantly throughout 1987 by Brian Redman, Elliot Forbes-Robinson and Chris Kneifel, its best result was third overall in the 1987 Sebring 12 Hours.

HISTORIC RACING:
Car has FIA Papers and has raced in the following events:
2001 Limerock Park USA HSRA 1st in class with Bob Akin Motorsport 2003 Monza Group C did not race but in practice positioned itself in 8th position overall and 2nd in class with Brun Racing

CURRENT CONDITION: Since its most recent outing in the Historic Group C championship at Monza in 2003, 962-123 has been completely rebuilt.
The power plant was totally redone by Siggi Brun. It is consequently being sold with zero hrs on the engine, all it accessories, the transmission and differential and just two hrs on the chassis. The body was not repainted to keep originality but is in very fine shape. The total rebuilt so far has cost in excess of $125.000 USD. The car has many valuable spares.

ROTHMAN LIVERY: The car did race in Takefuji livery as raced by Derek Bell and Brian Redman and in Omron livery as raced by Price Cobb and Kenny Acheson, however at present the car's livery is as it last left the Vern Schuppan race team when driven by Maurizio Sala and Eje Elgh for the Vern Schuupan Rothman lease events and as it has been raced in its last few historic events.

962-123 would make an exceptional addition to any serious Porsche collection and is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Rothmans-liveried 962.
