[Wayne 962]

Brunei plate: BQ7162 VIN: TP99620141 962-141

Chassis 962-141 was a chassis that was raced quite a bit by Dauer in the early 1990s. The story of 962-141 is a bit complicated – it was crashed and supposedly replaced by Porsche with a new chassis that they were testing a V8 engine with at the factory. This new chassis, 962-8-001 was perhaps raced for a while under the chassis number 962-141, and then was transformed into the sixth Dauer 962 LM car (see “bumblebee” below). The original crashed 962-141 is likely to have been repaired and reborn into this Brunei car. In addition, there exists today at least two or three other “Tic Tac” cars that appear to have run under vin 962-141.

Chassis 962-151 was originally sold to Team Nova whom raced it in Japan until it was damaged at Fuji in 1990. The chassis was then supposedly repaired and purchased by Dauer for use as a Dauer 962 LM. The car was painted silver and sold to the Sultan of Brunei. There are very few photos of the silver Brunei car, only two that I am aware of. In one of the smuggled “Brunei photos”, you can just make out the rear of the wing in the lower left-hand corner of the photo. This car is supposedly stored in the “glass house” portion of the Sultan’s collection.


Here is a blurry photo grabbed from older Internet posts that clearly showing the nose of the Dauer 962 sticking out behind the glass (seen with the pointy #1 and also in the photo below the pointy #1):
