Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Factory BB LM with original big brakes. NART entry for Preston Henn at Le Mans 1980 (DNQ, engine problem in qualifying). DNF in 1982 at Le Mans (Henn, Lanier, Morin), Daytona (Wollek, Doeren, Lanier) and Sebring (Janet Guthrie, Desire Wilson, Bonnie Henn), sold to Warren Mosler in 1983 and raced in IMSA, then to the present owner in 1992. Museum displayed since and mostly original, includes some spares. Will need comprehensive freshening before going racing.

Market commentary

Expensive to prepare, to be sure, but this BB LM Silhouette has highly competitive historic racing potential. It could be argued that the discount for its museum condition is actually a very astute purchase since even the best prepared historic racer of this capability will warrant the same meticulous disassembly, inspection, attention and routine replacements before being exercised to its potential. Why pay for it twice
