We are delighted to introduce a 1:2 scale replica of the renowned 1981 Le Mans-winning Porsche 936 sports-racing prototype. This particular model, identified as '003' and sponsored by the Christian Dior men's fragrance called Jules, was skillfully maneuvered by Derek Bell and Jackie Ickx. Their victory marked the third occasion the revered 936 triumphed in the French endurance racing classic. Inspired by the allure of the 936, Polish rally driver Sobieslaw Zasada meticulously fashioned a 1:2 scale replica. This, in turn, led Porsche to develop a limited edition version, produced in quantities ranging from 50 to 100, exclusively available to Porsche VIPs, including their esteemed Le Mans racing drivers.

Propelled by a single-cylinder 206cc Briggs & Stratton four-stroke engine producing 5 horsepower, the 936 Junior reportedly attained a maximum speed of 31mph. It is operated using an electric start and manual choke, equipped with a two-speed gearbox incorporating reverse gear. The car measures 273cm in length, 100cm in width, and 90cm in height. Noteworthy features encompass rack-and-pinion steering, a limited-slip rear axle, full suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear, a customizable rear spoiler, two-piece alloy wheels, disc brakes, lights, flashers, rear hydraulic shock absorbers, pneumatic tires, a 12-volt electrical system, alternator, foot brake, horn, leather seat, and fiberglass body atop a box-section chassis.

This particular model was acquired by the current owner's father in 1991 as a heartfelt gift for her 10th birthday. He spotted this unique model at an exhibition and made the effort to locate the owner, making a proposal to acquire it. Cherished and enjoyed alongside another half-scale camper, the car has remained in the current owner's possession for an uninterrupted 31 years and has been carefully stored in a dry environment. The current owner has thoughtfully decided to pass on the joy of owning this remarkable vehicle to a new enthusiast. The vendor informs us the car has been recently started and driven, and accompanied with the vehicle is the original Porsche 936 Junior owner's manual, as well as related literature.
