I drove my CGT to go wash a 959 S for my buddies at Curated not long ago. Being so up close and personal with one of these unicorns was a very cool experience!

Default Factory photos

When I get back to my Santa Barbara home (we are away for some real winter weather in our mountain cabin), I will pull out and scan a goodly number of factory photos I took at different times during the 959 production. I used to see so many 959s in the 80s during production and saw a significant number of them on the back lot awaiting shipment. The rest I would see inside Werk I when visiting the racing parts shop. I did this for the 928 guys from 1977 when the 928 first was being assembled and the 928 forum appreciated those. (I am lucky to be in Zuffenhausen during important times!). Maybe your 959 will be spotted!

Thanks for creating a nice thread

I just took delivery of a guards red 959 although I won't be able to drive it until spring. It's nice to look at in the meantime!

Just look at the wheels and you know that this is a fake

Yes we visited summer 2022. They had that prototype plus a nice clean silver 959 next to it. They do rotate the displays so not sure if its still there now.
