964 euro carrera cup cars

[MarkH]

Welcome and thank you for posting the SuperCup brochure. Never have seen it.

The ABS systems continue to be an open discussion and that is why I asked Barth about them. His new book on the RS/RSR will be released at this years Essen show and hopefully there will be more information on the subject. He states there were two versions. The 928 part numbers are interesting. Obviously there is more to the story. Here is a 2004 Rennlist discussion.

1992 Porsche 964 Carrera Cup with a significant race history:

The 964 Carrera Cup was produced in limited numbers for the European Supercup series, which ran before the Formula One races. The 1992 models received significant upgrades from the earlier models, including 18 inch Magnesium wheels, a power bump to 275hp, and the car now used the 964 Carrera RS body and sat an additional 20mm lower.

This particular car was delivered on May 14, 1993. It was raced six days later by Mika Hakkinen at the Monaco circuit preceding the Monaco GP. At the time, he had never driven a 911 before, and he got in this car, took pole in qualifying, and won the race overall. He also ran this car at Budapest, also for a first place finish. The car includes copies of the Wagenpass showing all of its races, including Hockenheim, SPA, Nurburgring, Mugello, and more. This is THE car which many other cars copy with their livery. After its racing season, it was purchased by a Porsche executive who drove the car to work on a regular basis.

The current owner purchased the car from the same executive in Germany in 2002. It had been restored one time in Germany by FVD Brombacher but it was not restored to stock. The first restoration included many modifications, giving the car 320HP - about 50 HP over stock. In the fall of 2007, Fran had the car restored again. The restoration was done at Advantage Auto by Tom Florio with the help of Jeffery Ring and Joel Reiser. To return the car back to original, certified stock condition, everything had to be changed. The search was on for an original ’92 cup suspension. Out came the six speed transmission; back in went a proper 5 speed. A complete rebuild of the original engine returned the horsepower to the stock 270HP. The car was now in showroom condition for a ’92 911 Cup Car. Also part of the stock restoration was retuning it to the original paint and Tag Heuer graphics from when Mika raced it.

Please feel free to call or email with any questions. We welcome an independent inspection prior to purchase . . .'

Can anyone direct me to a graphics business that has replicated the racing decals/stickers for a 1992/93 Cup?
I would prefer to find someone who has already done the artwork rather than start from scratch. Thanks.

Another UK cup car owner here, I've had this for nearly 8 years now.



I'd also be interested in getting a set of the '92 decals.

cheers
