I was stood next to this car in June 2008, at its spititual home; Le Mans; if only I had appreciated just how important a Porsche it was - and respected what it had been doing 20 years before, in the hands of Derek Bell in the very same spot.
Qualifying in pole position, with a special high-boost engine delivering 880bhp and piloted by the three best drivers Porsche had on their books, this car went on to lead for large parts of the race, setting the fastest lap before eventally coming second overall to a Jaguar.
What a shame.
Watching this car being worked on and fired up at close quarters, 20 years later was one of my all time Le Mans highlights
