Chassis:
One of the earliest RSR 2.8s produced, this car was originally ordered by Horacio Alvarez to compete in the 1973 Daytona 24 Hours. The car was delayed, so he raced his 911 S instead. He crashed the car heavily and decided to retire from racing. The Alvarez family came to arrangement with his Puerto Rican co-driver Diego Febles to buy the new RSR when it did arrive. As part of the arrangement, Febles would pay for the car instalments while he raced the car.
Febles predominantly campaigned the car in minor events in South America but also entered it for the 1973 Daytona Finale race, where he finished 24th overall. In 1975, it was raced to eighth by Febles and Hiram Cruz in the Sebring 12 Hours. It then spent time in Panama, before it was acquired by a Swedish enthusiast in Sweden. Chassis 911 360 0614 was eventually restored in the United States by Jim Torres before being sold to France in 2004. It was eventually repainted to the Brumos livery as used at Daytona in 1973.
At the end of 2012, it was acquired by a Dutch enthusiast. Between 2014 and 2018, it was completely restored to its original livery by Swiss specialist Marc de Siebenthal. It was ready in time for the 2018 Le Mans Classic, where it was raced to third overall in the Porsche 70th Anniversary celebration race. At the end of 2020, it was offered for sale through RM Sotheby's private sales department.
