The O317 is a high-floor bus model from Mercedes-Benz that Daimler-Benz AG manufactured from 1957 to 1972 and as a chassis until 1976. Mercedes-Benz O317 transporters were commissioned by Porsche in late 1966. The three rolling chassis were sent to Stuttgart-based coachbuilder, Robert Schenk. Here they were equipped with everything required to move cars and spares from race to race. Whereas most O317s were used as buses, the transporters Robert Schenk built for Porsche had additional overhead storage to enable double stacking of low slung racers. The first O317 was delivered in 1967. Registered S YZ 32 it spent the 1967, 1968 and 1969 seasons with Porsche before being loaned to John Wyer Automotive Engineering in England. John Wyer managed the works 917 programme for Porsche between 1970 and 1971 and, for these two seasons, S YZ 32 was repainted pale blue and orange to reflect the colours of his backer, Gulf Oil. It was then sold to BMW for 1972 and repainted the BMW Motorsport colours of white with red and blue stripes. S YZ 32 remained in this configuration until 1981 when it passed into the ownership of Helmut Marko whose privateer team campaigned a BMW M1 that season.
