In 1983 Bob Wollek drove with the Joest privateer Porsche 956 together with
Klaus Ludwig and Stefan Johansson the 24h of Le Mans.
They started with a low tail Porsche 956, during his stint Herr Luwdig
crashed the car but did made it to the pits, there they started tot fix the car,
but because they had no spare cover due to the fact that a cover then costed a
little as £ 10.000,- pound and that was a lot of money for a privateer
they asked if the could borrow one from the Rothmans team that had a trunk load of spare parts.
After a little time
trying to fix it they noticed that it
isn't going to fit (the 956ers were almost build by hand, so it didn't fit as easy as they thought) so they used the spare high tail engine
cover and drove of
to become 6th overall at La Sathe.
You can see the diverance in height of the rear spoiler, but also at the livery of the car, it's missing
some Marlboro logo and the lines of the red and white don't
match any more.
