Chassis:
One of three works cars built ahead of the 1985 season, 962-003 debuted at the Mugello 1000 km race. It was disqualified and then placed third overall at Le Mans with Hans-Joachim Stuck and Derek Bell driving. The pairing then won at Hockenheim, Mosport and Brands Hatch to end the season on a high. The 1986 season also started well with Stuck and Bell winning the Monza 360 km. Joined by Al Holbert, the two regular drivers then scored an outright victory at Le Mans in June. Two months later, Stuck collided with team-mate Jochen Mass in 962-004, at the Nürburgring causing considerable damage. Not repaired yet, 962-003 was then sold to Vern Schuppan. The 1983 Le Mans winning driver set about repairing the car and it was eventually sold to the father of the current custodian in 1993. In 2023, the 1986 Le Mans winning 962C was invited to the Le Mans centenary and was also raced by its owner during the Le Mans Classic.
