1964 Porsche 904/6

This car took part in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers Race for Pre 1966 GT Cars and Pre 1963 Sports Cars at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It's Burkhard von Schenk's 1964 Porsche 904/6 and he shared the driving in this race with Robertino Wild. The 1963 Porsche 904 of 1993 had a 1,966cc flat-4 engine, but the 904/6 had an engine of 1,996cc that was derived from the 911's flat-6 unit.

On 2 May 2015 I showed a photograph of this car that I had taken at Donington Park in 2004.

Two Maseratis
