Yes, but I think that only three 959 rally cars existed at that point. All three were run earlier in the year at Paris Dakar as numbers 185, 186 and 187. I know where 185 is now, so presuming that 186 and 187 were used as the two cars entered during the Egypt rally as #1 and #2. #2 won and #1 burned. I just don't know which car was which and where the "winner" is now.
I believe that three new cars were used for the 1986 Paris Dakar and also run as 185, 186 and 187. Porsche finished 1-2-6.
I think that a total of 6 959 rally cars were built.
A few assumptions and presumptions buried in there, but trying to fill those gaps. Thanks for the interest and observations.
