Condition: RESTORED AND REBUILT TO ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION BY BRUNN RACING. RACED IN CURRENT HISTORIC GROUP C RACING BY MARTYN KONIG.THE BODY AND THE GROUND EFFECT FLOOR SECTION ARE BUILT TO THE LATEST FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS OF THE 956 IN SHORT TAIL VERSION. THE ENGINE IS THE BEST OF ITS SERIES AND HAS A SIMILAR RESPONSE AS THE LATE 962 ENGINES BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVED TURBOCHARGERS. THE CAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS RELATIVELY UNCOMPLICATED. WITH THE SHORTER WHEELBASE AND THE ORIGINAL FULL GROUND EFFECT FLOOR SECTION THE HANDLING OF THE CAR IS MUCH MORE PLEASANT THAN OF THE 962 CARS.
