HISTORY OF CHASSIS 9113600885
49 examples of the 2.8-litre 911 Carrera RSR were built for the 1973 racing season and chassis 9113600885 was among the most successful.
It was sold to the Oldenkott pipe and tobacco company who had it prepared and campaigned by Kremer Racing in Cologne.
Painted a striking black and orange colour scheme, 0885 was driven throughout 1973 by Clemens Schickentanz.
From July 1973, the car often ran an uprated 2940cc engine.
With consistent podium finishes plus victories at Nivelles and Monza, Schickentanz won the 1973 European GT Championship.
In addition to several rounds of the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, 0885 also contested a trio of World Sportscar Championship events in 1973.
At the Monza 1000km race, Schickentanz shared the car with Erwin Kremer and finished eighth overall to win the three-litre GT class. There was also a twelfth overall and second in class at the Nurburgring 1000km where Schickentanz was co-driven by Paul Keller and Gunther Steckkonig.
By the end of 1973, Schickentanz had racked up enough points to secure the 1973 Porsche Cup that honoured the season’s most outstanding privateer Porsche driver.
The car was sold to French privateer Hubert Striebig for 1974. He had it uprated to the latest 3.0 Carrea RSR specification at which point the colour was changed from black and orange to gold.
Preparation was undertaken by Garage Louis Meznarie.
Striebig’s 1974 campaign included an entry for the Le Mans 24 Hours (DNF).
For 1975, chassis 0885 was repainted silver.
In its new colour scheme, the car again ran at Le Mans and then the Tour de France.
Later it was sold to fellow Frenchman, Alain Schick, for hillclimbing.
Schick then sold the car to the Almeras brothers in 1977 and they retained it until 1986.
