At the 1987 1000 km of Fuji, held on September 27 at Fuji Speedway, Mauro Baldi (Italy) and Mike Thackwell (New Zealand) drove the #15 Porsche 962C GTi for Britten–Lloyd Racing. Competing in the C1 class, they secured a third-place finish, completing 221 laps, just three laps behind the winning Jaguar XJR-8 driven by Jan Lammers and John Watson . The Porsche 962C GTi was equipped with a 2.8L turbocharged flat-six engine, a variant of the renowned Type-935, and was known for its aerodynamic efficiency and reliability. This race was notable for the dominance of the Silk Cut Jaguar team, which secured both first and second places, highlighting the intense competition between Jaguar and Porsche during the 1987 World Sports-Prototype Championship season.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
