I think its a 962, not 100% sure,

Something different about the side & rear 3/4 body work ...it seems to have a short tail though...

The rear wing is what is troubling me. It looks to be too high for a 962.

Anyone Have any ideas

Notice the wing is on a centre pillar, not on side plates like normal 952/962 ???, that makes the rear quarters look all different

I alos note its got side opening radiators not topside intakes just behind the doors...Thats what makes the dies look all different

Is it one of the road going versions built by "Dauer " (not sure of the spelling)

There are a couple of 962s out there with the wing on a central pillar but the sidepod / air intakes are completely wrong for any 962 i've seen, or can find anywhere online for that matter. Even the Dauer cars don't look anything like this one...

I'm wondering if it's had some sort of custom body stuck onto it for some reason?.

Or is it an LM3000 in Gulf colours. The radiators are different to standard, however the cabin and rear wing are very LM3000ish ??

Following the LM3000 idea led me to another wib site where the owner had answered the questions ... he writes ...
