Chassis:
Built around one of the first John Thompson manufactured aluminium honeycomb monocoques, this chassis was first raced at Le Mans in 1987. Like many of the early CK6s, it used the 962-118 serial of the Kremer car destroyed at Le Mans a year earlier, undoubtedly for carnet reasons. Driven by George Fuché, Franz Konrad and Wayne Taylor, it finished fourth overall. It was uprated ahead of the 1988 season with the latest aerodynamics package, which included a reshaped venturi, it was entered for Le Mans once more. Fouché was joined this time by Kris Nissen and Harold Grohs and they went on to finish eighth. After its second Le Mans outing, this car was retired from contemporary racing and re-numbered CK6-87 to 'free up' the 962-118 serial for a new car. Retained by the Kremer brothers until 1998, this highly original survivor was acquired by the current owner from notable Porsche collector Henry Pearman in 2006. Early in 2019, it was consigned to the Gooding Amelia Island auction.
