Loach you are probably referring to Herr Freisinger ,who had the foresight to buy the factory jigs of the 906.He can build you a fairly accurate replica, and repair originals.
He can be a bit strange, but a wealth of knowledge and parts! But i have not had anything to do with him, my car is fairly original accept for a few war wounds and some period race mods .Busy getting the car ready to race this season, you may even see it at a couple of track days.
If you visit the freisnger web site and look under restoration,then 906 you will see the jigs and a car being rebuilt,its the sister car of mine also in irish/brtitish racing green,both cars were semi works car belonging to afn and a wealthy racer Mike De Udy in 1966.I would hate to think how much the restoration was,the car is finished and belongs to a french man,who ran it in classic lemans last year.
Just finished moulds of the original body work of my car, incase i have a little incident some where, next is a chassis jig, so that I may also put this right.
I will put a couple of photos up later, the car was at the Porsche club show and shine weekend last august, and the silverstone f1 supporting race last may.
I try to keep the cars fairly low key like the 906 is to the 917,but quietly being in the scene.
So not missing the 917 or 935,both in my opinion ugly, but fantastic cars. My only regret with the 935 was turning down a drive/race at spa in Richard chamberlains 935 last season, which is quicker than most 935! I Will not turn it down again though Richard!!
Nice to hear some one appreciates the 906,first Porsche to be designed in a wind tunnel and won its class in most races in 66 to 68.

I will send a good photo later.
The 962 is a ex dyson racing tub,that never raced.Has original body panels as spares now,as the body is now total carbon.Its far nicer than the Dauer,with better road manners,and hydraulic lift suspension for the speed bumps etc. 900kg with 550 bhp!,it will sort a Mac f1.

The engine is 993 gt2 550bhp,very drivable and reliable with out the hassle and expense of a 962 motor.
The car is geared for 230mph,and can be geared even higher to give a bug a little chase!
Sadly the car is for sale now at sensible money,if you know of any buyers,it cost the orginal owner nearly 700k to build! There can be a 962 engine available with the car,to be converted back to a race car,along with its original bodywork etc,although this car has never seen a race yet.
