There’s A Fishy Reason The Porsche Type 64 Didn’t Sell At Auction

8/18/201911:45 estFiled to: NewsBy: Bradley Brownell

There are those in the collector community today who feel they have been duped and betrayed by auction house RM Sotheby's, and the reasoning is absurd.

The Last Turn: The Last Of The First

7/13/20159:49 estFiled to: Porsche PhotographyBy: Leonard Turner

The Monterey Historics Porsche tribute in August of 1982 provided a notable chance to see many famous Porsches and famous Porsche drivers, but was unique for me in its opportunity to see the only remaining Type 60K10. Porsche had, in the 1930s, already designed and proposed production of the VW based Type 64 sports car, only to be turned down by …
