I absolutely love that someone was out there driving this car as it should. Love the color interior as well.

This morning I was reading up on another rare 964, a 1 of 2 RSR with full road spec interior that was found in a sorry state but had six miles on it. A shame. And it still sold for over $2 million.

Edit- I'll circle it back to 1 of the 86 Turbo S Leichtbau models with another unusual spec car... this even more rare as it's a 1 of 11 right hand drive models with super low 47 miles on it.

The silver RSR? I like it, in a weird way, but it's the fact it was never driven that I don't particularly like. Just a waste.

The silver RSR had Bahrain plates when sold, but I don't know if that's where it was first delivered. Edit: it's possible the car was sold to a buyer in Bahrain.

The white RSR and the silver Turbo S were both originally delivered in the UK.

The full red interior is just too much for me. I could tolerate it on the RSR since there's silver in there to contrast it, but the Turbo is crazy.
 
An opportunity to recreate one of the most memorable Top Gear moments, an original, single-owner P50. I had no idea there's less than 30 left & according to ECR, looks like a good chunk are spending their days in museums now. This will need a lot of elbow grease, but there's not much car there, so she should be restored in no time.

Expected to sale for $50,000-$70,000.

Probably only me here interested in this but as I can't drive and don't have £50K I'll share it with you. :cheers:
 
1 of 35 SL72s made, sporting the beefy M120 V12 w/ only 42k miles. This example was apparently, one of the rare few that didn't end up in Brunei, instead spending her life in Japan with a single owner, optioning her with the iconic AMG bodykit & Aero wheels. Current bidding is sitting at $250,000 with a week to go. For reference, Bonhams sold an example back in 2017 in a more standard configuration for just $100,000.

I think i'd want someone to run a geiger counter over that before i went near it.
 
It's not the real deal, but this is claimed to be built on an authentic GT300 chassis, suspension with some body work, and a faithful recreation of the iconic race car. The ad is also true in that even acquiring one of these cars is nigh impossible. Rofgo sold a legitimate Denso SARD Supra & Bingo's GT500 Supra is somewhere undergoing heavy restoration.

Just one small road block; you'll need to install your own running gear. I assume it wouldn't be too hard to source a 20B, though.

RM Sotheby's announced today they will be auctioning off one of the GOAT's most iconic machines. This is the 1991 McLaren MP4/6, Chassis #1, the car that took Senna to his first ever win in the home city of Sao Paulo. Aryton would pilot the MP4/6 to 7 race wins, helping him secure his final World Championship, & Sotheby's notes the MP4/6 was also the last V12, manual gearbox to win a F1 title as the sport transitioned to the sequential. This chassis sat in McLaren Heritage's collection until 2020, whom kept the car in race-ready condition. This historic car is under a Sealed bid, so not sure what it will hammer for, but she is expected to fetch between $12,000,000 & $15,000,000, a more than fair evaluation given what one of Schummy's iconic Championship winning cars have gone for.

Interesting it still has the ciggy sponsorship, most if not all cars in McLaren's possession don't have it anymore.

I caught one source that said the car went directly back to McLaren after Sao Paulo & was immediately put into storage. However, I suppose it's a possibility the person who bought it in 2020 wanted the livery back to exactly as it was in 1991.
 
It'd be interesting to see how much money each team could fetch if they decided to sell all their historic cars. I reckon there's not much interest in Vettel and Crashtappen cars right now on the RedBull side given the recency bias, but McLaren, Williams and Ferrari probably could fund the 2026 season and maybe part of 2027 out of historical sales alone.

I think Ferrari found the best way to sell their historic cars. All the cars in this room in the video are said to be privately owned & they are all in running order. So, you pay millions for the car, to be taught how to drive it, to store it, to maintain it, & to ship it all under Ferrari's determined cost. Win-win for them.

AFAIK, Williams also has an owners' program where you can buy their cars, but it's tiny compared to Ferrari.

No prices, but guess these fit the thread.

That Camaro used to race with us, the now defunct HRSR, before we joined the HSCC. The series was sponsored by ICS at the time, a company owned by a guy called Pete Hall who was a long time sponsor of Andy Rouse and his team mate for a few seasons in the BTCC. Pete raced with us originally in a Rouse-built Mustang before getting him to build this Camaro. Our championship was on the BTCC support package at this time so a lot of deep pockets were taking interest and joining us. It was last sold for £43k. Interesting to see what it goes for now given it looks to be roughly the same spec.

I like the original silver on the Revolution wheels. This coming from the number one white wheel fan. ;)

Before i even read the article on it, it was the Revolutions that made me think it might have been Pete Hall's old car. They're quite an odd choice for a historic race car these days, most pony/muscle cars run on Minilites or Torq Thrusts, but back when we started in the early 90's people ran with whatever was available and rim sizes were less regulated than they tend to be now. We always ran with Minilites but loads of drivers in our series ran with 4 or 5 spoke Revolutions mostly as they were widely available in the UK.
