On its debut race chassis 018 finished 2nd place overall, beaten only by another works entered 908/2 (chassis 06) driven by Siffert and Redman. The car was then sold directly by the racing department in October 1969 to regular, racing customer Freiherr Karl von Wendt for his BG Racing Team. The team first sent the car in January 1970 to Buenos Aires to compete in the Buenos Aires 1000km race on the 11th and then ran it again a week later in the Buenos Aires 200 mile race on the 18th – driven in both races by works driver Willi Kauhsen and Herbert Schultze. 2 After Buenos Aires, the car returned to Europe and in May 1970, was once again entered into the prestigious round of the International Manufacturers’ World Championship – Nurburgring 1000km, driven this time by Von Wendt himself and fellow works driver, Gerhard Koch. This time the pair finished 7th overall with overall victory going to the new, factorydeveloped, Salzburg entered Porsche 908/3 spyders. BG Racing are known to have entered the car twice more – in June 1970 for the Nurnberg 200 mile race with 1969 Porsche 908/2 - #908/02-018 Kurze Flunder 3 von Wendt driving to 7th place and then lastly in July at Hockenheim with Willi Kauhsen again at the wheel, finishing 9th overall. Chassis #018 was then sold by von Wendt to Guillermo Ortega and his Ecuador Marlboro Racing Team. The car was later entered in September 1972 for the 12-hour Marlboro Race at Yaguacocha, Ecuador, but Ortega crashed and damaged the car. Wishing to run it at Le Mans, Ortega had the damaged car sent back to the Porsche factory for repairs. However, after inspecting the damage the factory estimated cost of repairs to be high and so the Ecuador Marlboro Racing Team opted to purchase another 908 for approximately the same cost as the estimated repairs and kept 908/02#018 for the time being for spare parts. Ortega then acquired 908 #022 and entered Le Mans with it in 1973 and 1974. The accident-damaged chassis #018 was later sold circa 1974 by Ortega to Kurt Lotterschmid. Lotterschmid then in turn sold it to Ing. August Deutsch of Germany who sent it to be repaired by Lehman-Tuning in Lenggries (exMcNamera Racing). An account of their inspection and repair work in 1974 is noted on file. Deutsch then began to race the car through 1975 and 76 as the ‘DeutschSpezial’, known for its special bodywork which was designed by Felix Gmachmeier. 1969 Porsche 908/2 - #908/02-018 Kurze Flunder In 1977 Deutsch, sold the car to R & H Racing in Canada. It was then entered into numerous CanAm races from 1977 – 1979, still with its ‘special bodywork’ including Watkins Glen 6 Hours, Mosport and St Jovite, driven by Canadians Gary Hirsch and/or Rainer Brezinka. In 1980 H&R Racing sold the car to Bill Bradley Racing. Bradley then removed the Gmachmeier bodywork and had exPorsche factory engineer Paddy O’Grady fully restore it and replace it with original 908/2 short flunder bodywork. Bradley then raced the car in 1982 at the Nürburgring Oldtimer before selling it to Mike Ostromouf and Richard Attwood. Ostromouf and Attwood then raced the car extensively together around the world, mainly in the Supersports series up until 1987. In 1987 the car passed briefly to Frank Gallogly, then in 1989 was sold to Bob Jordan (USA) who entered the car in various US based historic events whilst having it maintained by Vintage Racing Services. In 2000 Jordon then sold the car to Joe Mundy of Houston, Texas, USA. The Mundy family then kept the car in their collection for ten years with maintenance bills on file carried out by Racecraft and the engine noted as being last rebuilt by Jerry Woods in California. In 2010 the car was acquired by the present owner and imported to the UK We are delighted to offer for sale this genuine ex-factory race car, which has a long and continuous history in the hands of the owners listed above. The car is fitted with a Dale-Miller replacement 908 engine case, but comes with original 908 engine case no 908 03013-1. It is also fitted with original 908 gearbox case no 034, which is interestingly stamped with a 1974 ACO Le Mans scrutineers stamping. 4 A rare opportunity to acquire a highly significant 1969 Porsche Prototype, with continuous race history from new. 1969 Porsche 908/2 - #908/02-018 Kurze Flunder Porsche 908/02 018 – competition history 01.06.1969! ! ! ! ! 1000km Nürburgring !
