A very significant Porsche. Great history. I note that Porsche won again at Daytona yesterday for the 20th time. Two years in a row for the same car.

Perhaps I missed it in that article.... but - not being a Porsche guy - what's something like this worth? Priceless? 100 million? 50 million? 10 million? 🤔 🤔

It sold AFTER the Sotheby's Auction. Check this out:Perhaps I missed it in that article.... but - not being a Porsche guy - what's something like this worth? Priceless? 100 million? 50 million? 10 million? 🤔 🤔

I couldn't find a specific number paid but preview estimates were: "According to recent auction estimates, a 1956 Porsche 550A Prototype 'Le Mans' Werks Coupe is expected to sell for between $5.5 million and $7.5 million at auction, with the specific chassis number 550A-0104 being the focus of these estimates."

"The 1956 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is widely regarded as one of most treacherous in the event’s 100-year history. The resulting mess of blinded, water-soaked drivers and barely controllable cars determined that only 14 of the race’s 49 entrants earned a classified finish." Incredible!
What great photography. Does anyone know what the little blue light on the roof is for?
Thanks John B another outstanding piece of automotive history.

It's a pit-signaling lamp.

I wonder if Seinfeld has tried to acquire this one; it certainly seems like something he would drool over. 😳 😳
