Chassis: 550A-0144
One of the very last 550A RS Spyders produced by Porsche, this car was eventually sold to the Rodriguez family in Mexico. During the early 1960s, it joined the stable of Jim Watson. In 1963, he raced the car at select events before storing it in his garage. Watson retained the car for nearly five decades. As a result, it has survived in remarkably original condition. The current owner brought it to the 2012 Monterey Motorsports Reunion, where it was driven in anger for the first time in many, many years.
