Featured is the ''American'' Porsche 924 Carrera GTP that was raced at Le Mans in 1980 by Derek Bell and Al Holbert. After finishing 13th at Le Mans, the car was bought by Holbert and brought the United States. He raced it in 1982 and also used as a pattern for a small run of 924 racing cars. It was raced for many years after and when it was finally retired, it was painted purple. Fortunately it found a place in the collection of a Porsche enthusiast, who completely restored the Carrera GTP to its 1980 Le Mans livery. Today its owned by another American enthusiast, who entrusted the Amelia Island Concours d''Elegance class winning GTP to journalist Kerry Morse for the 2007 Monterey Historic Races where it is pictured above.
