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 Coupé 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 Osnabrück Slalom. Its fourth owner, Heribert Küke of ‘Küke Motorsport’, also took to the track, racing at Brands Hatch and the Nürburgring.

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 and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19.
