I'm glad that you posted, Porsche design or not. I saw a couple of these beasts on track at the Monterey Historics in 1999 -- the 6 liter V-16 cars make the most incredible sound you will ever hear. They were built to a formula much like the Can-Am -- the only restriction was a 750 kilogram dry weight. Whenever one of these cars, whether a Porsche-designed V-16 or a Eberan von Eberhorst V-12, comes on the market it is a topic worthy of discussion among those of us who are passionate about cars. I'm also glad that the car at Bonham's is now recognized as having been constructed from original components; it might have made more money for its seller last year.
