Based on a white body purchased from Porsche, the Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 was built to compete in the 1980 German Championship. The car was driven by Bob Wollek, John Fitzpatrick, Jochen Maas and other iconic drivers. At the end of the season, Kremer sold the Jägermeister K3 to John Fitzpatrick, but it was already foreseeable that new regulations would soon end the golden age of Group 5 cars. From 1982 onwards, sports prototypes dominated the races at Le Mans and the world championship of the one-make series. In the USA, the previously victorious Porsche 935 also lost importance and gradually disappeared from the race tracks and from the public eye. Although the Jägermeister Porsche K3 still achieved numerous successes in the USA, this car also went into retirement, changed hands several times and was finally parked in a private garage, as our later research revealed. Years later, a growing community of motorsport enthusiasts discovered numerous racing cars that had gone missing. in 2007, a Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 resurfaced in Cologne, offered by a Swedish sales agent as an original, as evidenced by the chassis number (000 0011). Even experts involved in the construction of the Kremer K3 were convinced that it was the real thing, restored in its iconic colors and with great attention to detail. Convinced of the authenticity of this vehicle, Eberhard Baunach bought the Jägermeister Porsche in February 2009.
Doubts about the authenticity of the Jägermeister K3 located in Cologne surfaced when a Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 reappeared at the VI Porsche Reunion in the USA in 2018. After a complete restoration, it was described as the original vehicle sold by Kremer to John Fitzpatrick in early 1981 and exported by him to the USA. As a result, Eberhard Baunach initiated extensive research to confirm the authenticity of his Kremer Porsche K3 purchase.
The research revealed that the Porsche 935 K3 located in the USA can be traced thanks to a limited number of subsequent owners, as well as the restoration carried out and documented by the prestigious US company Gunnar Racing. During this restoration, the orange paintwork of the former Jägermeister livery was found. In addition, the research carried out on this vehicle revealed an unbroken link between the USA-Jägermeister Kremer K3 and its former owner and importer, John Fitzpatrick. It must be assumed that the Jägermeister K3 from the USA is the original vehicle.
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023, Klaus Ludwig drove the car and recalled his victory in a K3 at the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as his coronation as German champion of the same year, also in the paddock of a Kremer Porsche K3.
