Equipment
Dual Webers, Dunlop Racing tires, driver's head fairing, full width windshield, leather upholstery.
Condition
Excellent paint and interior. Filler cap is dinged up. Campaigned by privateer Bob Donner, 7th overall, 2nd in class at Sebring in 1961 and won at Pike's Peak later that year. Later raced by Don Wester with two-tone paint and a 1,700 cc engine to more good results on the West Coast. Restored to original specs in the 1990s. A splendid late Porsche Spyder that should really be raced.
Market commentary
Easily one of the most charismatic of early Porsche competition cars and blessed with a superior US competition history, it should be no surprise that the Biltmore bidders rose to the bait and collected this RS 61 at a healthy but not extravagant price.
