Tracing the history of some cars is a really fascinating and complex quest which can take several years. At the time, cars were designed to last for only one race.
Racing cars were frequently modified by the factory: the engine and chassis plates were exchanged, bits of the body work were cut out to create other more efficient cars over the shortest possible period and in the most economical way.
Porsche were very clever in that respect, often exchanging chassis number plates to meet the requirements of customs and racing registrations.
# 917 043 is one of the most interesting stories to tell. It covers the fascinating double life of a racing car.
According to the codes adopted by car manufacturers, what defines a racing car is the chassis number which enables one to keep track of the true story of the car.
