Luc Donckerwolke's RUF-Rebuilt 1970 Porsche 914/6 Heads to Bring a Trailer
A 1970 Porsche 914/6, previously owned by designer Luc Donckerwolke, is currently listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, with the auction concluding on September 30, 2026. Donckerwolke, renowned for his work with Lamborghini, Bentley, and Hyundai Motor Group, purchased the vehicle in 2020 and had it thoroughly restored by RUF in Germany. The 914, a collaborative effort between Porsche and Volkswagen, began production in 1969. Initially delivered in Lemon Yellow to Belgium, it underwent a conversion in 1975 to meet Porsche's M471 GT specifications. RUF repainted it in Grand Prix White, enhanced various components, and updated the interior with Recaro seats and a Momo steering wheel. Michael Mauer commended the modern aesthetics of the 914.
