The Kremer 917 didn't break the bank at Monte Carlo selling for €2.35m, €2.65m with buyer's premium against estimate €3.5m - €5m
Bob Wollek later revealed he walked out on the Kremer brothers during the '81 Le Mans following 2 fatal incidents and having started the weekend with a bad omen about the race. With fewer than 24 race hours the steering on the car broke at its next outing at Brands
Wollek died 20 years later, hit by a van while cycling back to his accommodation from practice for the Sebring 12. After Sebring he was due to retire from racing and take a role as Porsche brand ambassador
Group B 924 GTS CS was a no sale at €160k, now asking €200k
Dan Herman SCCA Carrera Speedster 81079 bid to €750k against an estimate €850 - 950k, now asking €850k

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Is that a Morgan behind it and if so, I wonder where it is and what it would sell for today?

1970 911T, Signal orange (Restoration thread)
1988 3.2 Carrera backdate, Black
2001 996 Turbo, Lapis blue (am I allowed to put that here?)
I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
I'd say that's probably Lew Spencer racing his Plus 4 - 'Baby Doll'.
He competed in the SCCA championship for several years & won the championship in the early '60's .
Later he went to work for Caroll Shelby during the era when the Cobra was being developed.
One of his Morgan racers came up for auction at Scottsdale ~ 10 years ago - sold for comparatively little (at least compared to a 356 Speedster) as far as I remember ...
