Somewhat overshadowed by the later glories of the 908s and 917s, the beautiful little Porsche 904 is one of those cars you think you know about but possibly don't.
If you think it looks good wait til you hear it
Certainly the exhaustive catalogue entry detailing the history and provenance of this particular car for RM's forthcoming London sale is
well worth a read
if you need to educate yourself.
But first you'll probably want to watch the video. And hear it being put through its paces, the six-cylinder 911 engine in this car (hence the /6 designation) a much more serious proposition than the earlier flat-four the 904 started with. And if you ever wondered where the original 987 Cayman got its styling influence then look no further.
Meaning if you feel inspired by this but can't quite stretch to the seven-figure price tag you can swot up with our Cayman buyer's guide before taking the plunge into the classifieds. Perhaps an R would be the most appropriate tribute - if you can bear the colour this Official Porsche Centre offered manual offers a £10K saving over similar ones at other OPCs.
