Herbert Müller (1940 – 1981) was a racing driver from Switzerland. Among other successes, he won the Targa Florio twice, in 1966 and 1973, both with Porsche.
Picture above: The Swiss driver, a Ferrari customer in 1971 while competing in the Intersérie championship, is seen in his backyard, next to Ferrari 512S and 512M bodywork, a collectors’ heaven.
Sadly he died in the 1981 Nürburgring 1000 km in his Porsche 908 Turbo, racing with his longtime friend Siegfried Brunn. Before the event, Müller stated that he would retire from motorsports after the end of the race…
Herbert Müller is seen here-under at the 1974 Le Mans 24 Hours, where together with Gijs van Lennep, he finished 2nd overall in a Martini-Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo.
