The engine was combined with a 5-speed transmission from Getrag and a differential lock from ZF, while the car featured an independent suspension with MacPherson struts.
However, what makes the car in the main picture even more unique is that its driver was Marc Sourd, a driver with almost 50 years experience in motorsport, that had 33 victories, 89 podiums and 13 pole positions and finished third in the 1974 Challenge Européen de Formule Renault and second at the 2002 French GT Championship.
He had driven some of the most legendary cars, including the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR 1995 on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the year that McLaren won four of the top five positions.
Sourd drove this M5 in 1985 and he won with it the GP de Nogaro and Challenge Pacific, against great drivers like Jean-Pierre Jarier and Jean-Pierre Beltoise. The car is in great shape and it can normally take part in events.
The engine and drivetrain have been recently rebuilt and the body remains in its original form, because its owners wanted to keep it as close as possible to its original state. On September 7, the car will be auctioned by RM Sotheby‘s and it is expected to reach a price between £85,000 and £110,000
