The Ex-Team Trust
Le Mans 24-Hour race 1990 (13th) 1991 (DNF)

Beautifully restored example of the ultimate Porsche Typ 962 design chassis ‘962-159’ as campaigned by the celebrated Japanese Team Trust.

Trust ordered a brand-new Porsche 962 to ‘longtail’ specification for Le Mans, chassis serial ‘159’, developing over 850bhp for the 1990 racing season and for its premier event, the Le Mans 24-Hours race. Team Trust secured the driving services of George Fouche ex Kremer Racing, Stefan Andskar and Shunji Kasuya. Their main sponsors were the Japanese oil company Nisseki, Cibie and Dunlop and under the team management of Gen Suzuki. The car ran under race number ‘63’ and finished 13th overall that year.

It then returned to Le Mans for the 1991 24-Hours, and was driven by Fourche/Andsker again as race number ‘49’ before being forced to withdraw. The car then finished 1st in the 1991 FIA SWC race at Autopolis, Japan, driven again by Fouche/Andskar.

The car has since undergone complete restoration by Team Trust in 1992 in which it was returned to its original 1990 Le Mans 24-Hour race specification. It has since been carefully preserved on museum display.
