For the annual Essen show, Techno Classica, its stand will feature one of the most famous competition 911s ever: the 911S/R which in 1967 completed the Spa 24 Hours, Nürburgring Marathon de la Route and the Acropolis Rally.
The following year it was sold to Edgar Herrmann, who entered it in the Kenya Safari Rally… and then sent it back to Stuttgart where it was prepared for the London to Sydney Marathon.
An amazing history and at Essen this year, the incredible car, complete with ‘scaffolding’ roll-bars from the long-distance rallies, is sure to share stand-space with many other stellar cars from the world-famous British company.
The Essen Techno Classica runs from 21 to 25 March 2012, at Messe Essen GmbH, Norbertstrasse 2, 45131 Essen, Germany.
