Porsche 917K

This car was in the paddock at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.

It's a Porsche 917K in the Gulf Oil livery of John Wyer's JW Automotive Engineering team which campaigned with the cars in the 1970 and 1971 seasons. The cars won many events in the World Sportscar Championship in the 1970 and 1971 seasons, but a three-car team entered at the Le Mans 24 Hour race in both those years resulted in in five retirements with just a second place in the 1971 race to show for their efforts.
