Behold: the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder – one of just 97 such cars ever made, introduced at the 1953 Paris Auto Show and subsequently dubbed ‘giant killer’ in the wake of multiple victories over far more powerful rivals on the track. 

This vehicle, (chassis number 550-0050, not far in order of assembly from James Dean’s death car) was originally exported to the US and fully restored in the mid 1980s.

It was once owned by Pablo Picasso’s son Claude, who raced it in the historic Targa Florio and the first Le Mans Classic.

Price on request.
