Equipment
Sole surviving 54 Le Mans team car (dnf), winner at Nurburgring driven by Hans Herrmann with several other good results. Emigrated to Canada then shifted around until 1987. Restored to as new condition, completed 1999 Colorado Grand. Engine is original to the car.
Market commentary
As a factory team car with Le Mans, Nurburgring, Avus, etc. history its value is substantially enhanced over a customer car and this bid was reasonably refused by the consignor. $600K is more likely to elicit the sellers interest.
