Is this a Porsche 917? it had a V12 in the back.

Pretty sure it's a Porsche 908/3 and has a V8.

Thanks for that, I didn't think it was a Porsche.

And that teaches me for not paying enough attention! Saw the Gulf livery and assumed it was the Porsche that was also there.

The V12 in the back is a Weslake. It was built for Le Mans in '72 but didn't race as it was neither quick nor reliable enough.
