I think there may be some confusion of what these cars were. They were street cars brought over for the USA 964 Cup one makes race. Andial was shipped the cars and race parts to convert to Cups. They were not built at Weissach. They were born as street cars with street car vins.

When the series was cancelled every car was allegedly sent back to Andial to have all the race parts removed. And then street parts reinstalled and sent out to various dealers for sale as street cars. A couple of the cars never actually got converted by Andial. Everyone we spoke to officially insisted that every single car went back to street trim, even this car.

The original owner died. His wife left it in his garage for half a dozen years with fewer than 3000 mi on it. Her memory, and everything she showed us, and super close inspection, led us to believe her version of the facts were accurate. We believed the car had never been returned to street trim. We told the story openly and honestly and let prospective buyers decide what they thought was true. We had no legal or binding authority to certify their claims. But we did our homework and shared what we found. Andial and Carlsen had no official comment and my inclination that they had some quiet agreement regarding this is no more than personal opinion.
