After first being delivered to Rabe Graf von Oehnhausen,
Grandfather of Marcus Graf von Oehnhausen, founder of the private
race track Bilster Berg, this 1962 Porsche 356 Carrera 2 GS Coup�
was then pressed into a much more exciting life. This car's second
owner converted the Carrera 2 to GT-spec during 1967, racing the
car at Zandvoort and the Osnabr�ck Slalom. Its fourth owner,
Heribert K�ke of 'K�ke Motorsport', also took to the track, racing
at Brands Hatch and the N�rburgring.
This car's fifth and present owner acquired the car in 1998. It
still retains its original engine and gearbox and has participated
in many events, including the Tour Auto and Gran Premio Nuvolari.
An accompanying history file contains a Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity and extensive maintenance and restoration
documentation. Body and engine restorations were undertaken by
Harald Hackenberg and Karl Hloch, respectively - two of the most
renowned Porsche restorers in Germany. From 2008 to 2010, the car
was fully restored at Classic Boxers in Erkrat, Germany, which
included a paintjob to the highest standards. 'On the button', this
car represents an excellent opportunity for the new owner to take
to the track and add to its interesting history.To view this car
