Ex-Le Mans Porsche 917 K and Alfa Romeo 33/TT/12 consigned for Gooding Pebble auction

For the upcoming Pebble Beach Auctions, American company Gooding & Co. have announced some truly spectacular consignments already. One of the absolute headliners is this Porsche 917 K. Freshly restored and finished in iconic Gulf colours, it is a great example of one of the most iconic sports racers. Although it was not raced in period, the consigned 917-024 did set the fastest time in the 1970 Le Mans Test with Brian Redman at the wheel. It later also starred in Steve McQueen's legendary movie Le Mans, which explains why it is painted in Gulf colours. At that time, it was owned by Swiss racer Jo Siffert and it served as the lead car of his funeral parade late in 1971. Hidden away for many years, chassis 917-024 has been completely restored and is now estimated to sell for between $13-16 million.
Another fantastic sports racer consigned is this Alfa Romeo 33/TT/12, which helped win the 1975 World Championship. Entered by the works supported Willy Kauhsen Racing Team, it was driven to three wins by Derek Bell and Henri Pescarolo. It was sold by Autodelta to the current owner in 1980 and chassis 11512-010 will now be offered on public sale for the first time in nearly 40 years. The privilege of owning this glorious racer will cost at an estimated $2.4 - 2.8 million.
