Race Cars, TVR

This TVR Grantura may be 1 of 4 Ex-Works or Ex-Factory Lightweight TVR race cars from the early 60’s. Grantura’s were the first TVR cars, the Series II was upgraded with a choice of 4 cylinder engines and standard disc brakes. If this history can be proven, which seems potentially possible, we think this TVR could be worth more than the roughly $56,000 asking price, plus shipping from the UK and refurbishment. …Read More »

Porsche, Race Cars

Porsche 911’s in just about any varietal, have been good on the track. They’re without a doubt the winning-est model ever made, which is why if you’re looking to get a track car, you should look at a 911. This particular version was built from a 1999 GT3 Cup car, which is nice, because it’s come from the factory as a race car. For the most part, t’s got all the GT3R add-ons. This is a car that cost over $100,000 new and we’re sure the owner has put at least 50% more into making it as it appears here, he’s asking $60,000. …Read More »

Race Cars, Riley & Scott

December 20, 2009: Interestingly, the seller updated the ad with a new price of $324,900. He claims all the spare parts have been lost in a fire which occurred on 12/19; we’re glad the car is unharmed. We’ve updated the links and description.
December 16, 2009: We’ve always loved anything Riley & Scott so when this MkIIIC just came up for sale, of course we had to post it. The MkIIIC is the last iteration of this chassis, there’s great info if you want to read more here and here. If the articles don’t convince you to pony up $325K, maybe this in-car clip will, after the jump. …Read More »

Ford, Road Cars

Ford GT’s are really bad@ss sports cars. We’ve loved them since before Ford officially launched the GT, especially given it’s pedigree. One thing that’s annoyed us however, is the fact that so many of the GT’s came from the factory with ’stripes.’ Historically, few original GT40’s where red/white, grey/grey or white/blue, but it seems like all the new GT’s are one of these combos. This particular car is Midnight Blue with the “stripe delete” option, a combo that makes it pretty rare. Given the color, and the fact that it has only 3,100 miles, this car is priced very fairly at $149,000. Don’t miss the video on the next page for more enticement. …Read More »

Porsche, Race Cars, Road Cars

We know what you’re thinking, this 911 doesn’t look like anything too great. You’re right, cosmetically it’s not perfect, however it’s got a really cool history. It started off as a Carrera Cup car, of which we understand Porsche only built 25. It was then commissioned to race in the 1993 Daytona 24 hours, driven by Enzo Calderari to a class win. Then it was driven by Lilian Bryner at places like the 24 hours of Le Mans, Spa and Sebring. All of this history, for $39,000. …Read More »

Lotus, Race Cars

Looking to get into professional racing? Or just dream of running local track days in an open cockpit racer, banging off shifts with your fully sequential dog box, pretending you’re Tom Kristensen in an Audi R10 at Le Mans? Either way, it sounds like this Lotus 2-Eleven GT4 is what you need. This car is a more racey version of the already race-able Lotus 2-Eleven and is basically ready for whatever you throw at it. …Read More »
