Factory Championship-Winning Porsche at Pebble Beach Auctions

1984 Porsche 911 SC/RSEstimate Available Upon RequestChassis: WP0ZZZ91ZES11000

Offered by Gooding & Company

Following the success of the Rothmans Porsche 956 cars in Group C competition in 1982 and 1983, the principal sponsor struck a deal with Porsche to put together a team of rally-spec 911s for the FIA European Rally Championship and the newly formed Middle East Championship.

Six of the twenty Porsche 911 SC/RS cars built were prepared for Rothmans in the UK by Prodrive for these events, and delivered excellent results, with Saeed Al-Hajri capturing the 1984 Middle East Rally Championship for the team in its first year.

This Rothmans 911 SC/RS, chassis 110 008, was campaigned by Henri Toivonen and Juha Kankkunen in four European championship events in 1984, with wins in the Ypres 24 Hours and Madeira Rally for Toivonen, before the 911 became Al-Hajri’s main steed within the team.

The “King of the Dunes” piloted 110 008 in 11 events from 1985 to 1987, with wins in the Qatar and Kuwait Rallies en route to taking the 1987 Middle East Rally Championship. This Porsche offers the winning bidder the most original Rothmans 911 SC/RS in existence along with serious race history and iconic livery.

In addition, this rally car comes with a trove of Porsche/Rothmans documentation including notes on competition, testing and team organization.
