“After a while I started to add personal touches here and there. I always wanted to keep the car somewhat period looking so I started with some BBS RS wheels along with some gold mesh turbofan covers. It’s a look that screams 1980s and I always loved the look on Porsche race cars. They helped a bit to make the car my own, but not enough. A dream of mine was always to drive the car to Rennsport Reunion regardless of where it was being held and I had to go all out.
I was on a mission to get the car wrapped in a unique look in time for the drive. It had to be something from the 80s and there was no greater race car in that period than the 956/962. I went with the Canon privateer car, driven by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason at Le Mans in 1984. I have a couple of diecast models of it in my collection, I’ve always loved the way that car looks and I’ve never seen the livery replicated on a street car. Adding white turbofan covers would just be the perfect finishing touch.
Months prior to the event, I reached out to various shops that could help me with the idea and Jun from Klassewerks made it happen. Coincidentally they were doing the same livery on a 996 cup car, also bound for Rennsport. After a few weeks we finally settled on a design that would fit the lines of the 911 and the rest is history. They delivered the car in time for my 800 mile round trip and the car never skipped a beat.”
