Great watch. Read a recent article in the globe l think, about this car going up for auction shortly. No doubt part of the marketing machine but Chris Harris surely has a way with cars.

They figure about $20 million will be what it will fetch.

The lack of drifting was disappointing.

Amusing that they have a repro shell of the Typ 64 in the Porsche Museum

I would say that was a career-ending move for the auctioneer....

saw it coming a mile away though after Porsche denied it was a Porsche...

but i have no clue what went on there... i couldn't understand what was happening. were there actual bids to push it up ? were people actually bidding . 40 . 50 60 million ? or was he reading off the screen.. so confusing.
