#TheSimeone 1952 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica.

Frazer Nash built the Le Mans Replica as a light, efficient sports racing car for postwar endurance competition. Driven to victory by Larry Kulok and Harry Grey, this example won the inaugural 12 Hours of Sebring in 1952 and secured its place in American endurance racing history. It remains one of the defining cars from Sebring’s earliest era.

#TheSimeone 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport.

A small group of Chevrolet engineers built the Grand Sport Corvette to battle Ford's Cobra for sports car racing dominance. Top brass at GM cancelled the program before the car's true potential could be developed. This is one of only five ever built and is widely regarded as being the most original remaining.

#TheSimeone 1967 Ford GT MK IV.

Our unrestored, original MK IV ran its only race at the 1967 Le Mans, where it set a top speed of 224 mph before retiring after a sand trap incident. Featuring cutting-edge engineering like a honeycomb aluminum chassis and a powerful 427 engine, it represents Ford’s all-American push for racing glory. Later donated to the Harrah Collection, it now resides with us in as-raced condition, a rare and authentic piece of motorsport history.

#TheSimeone 1966 Ford GT40 MKII.

Our car ran at Le Mans in 1966, the only race in its competition history. Driven by Sir John Whitmore and Frank Gardner, it retired after five hours apparently because of clutch problems.

#TheSimeone 1938 Jaguar 3.5 Litre SS 100.

With a 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine, 100 mph capability, and elegant bodywork, it proved Jaguar could rival Europe’s best. Only 116 were built, yet they won events like the Alpine, Monte Carlo, and RAC rallies, securing the Manufacturers Team Prize and setting Jaguar’s course for greatness.

#TheSimeone 1954 Austin-Healey 100-4.

In 1953, the Austin-Healey 100-4 broke 100 records at Bonneville, earning the title of world’s fastest production car. The “Big Healeys” later proved their stamina in Europe’s toughest rallies, with Pat Moss and others scoring major victories in events like Liège–Rome–Liège.
