Philip, I finally met with the owner of the car in question.
Not only does it have tremendous race history; which include a class win in the 84 hours of Nurburgring... the car later belonged to Vasek Polak (the 3rd owner of the car). The current owner bought it from him 30 years ago.
This car has some accident history; apparently from crashing into a Ferrari 250 of some sort (or him crashing into the porsche). It is chassis 28; which another man had thought he bought ( a very good replica).
I've got a lot more photos, and had a chance to show the owner him driving the 904 past via my friend's iphone. One very cool guy... and the smiles just don't end!
Also, the reason he didn't stop into cars and coffee was for the first time in 30 years, his clutch cable had snapped just then!
