Headlining this year’s Race Retro Classic Sale is a historic Lotus 19 raced by some of the greatest British racing drivers of our time—Moss, Hill, Ireland, and Clark. Jim Clark won Oulton Park in 1964 in this car. As the last car driven by Sir Stirling Moss as a professional racer, this vehicle bares his signature. This is the first time in 57 years this 1960 Lotus 19 Monte Carlo, Chassis 953, has been available for sale on the open market, making this one of the most exciting vehicles up for bid in the Race Retro Classic Sale.

Other featured vehicles up for bid in the Race Retro Classic Sale include:

1992 Lancia Hyena Zagato: Number nine of only 24 produced, this left-hand-drive vehicle has only two registered owners and 9,500 km from new.

1991 BMW Z1: This left-hand-drive vehicle has three registered owners and is 11,200 miles from new. Finished in Urgrun Green Metallic with Lemon Nubuck leather and Biscuit cloth, this car sports new tires, rear-axle rebush, and more.

1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth “Group A” Rally Car: This car has been dry stored for 15 years prior to receiving a full restoration, and still maintains its original T5 gearbox with an all-new close-ration, Quaife cluster and quick shift. Noted as one of the most competitive “Group A” rally cars available, this vehicle was an outright win in the March 2018 “Legends” Class of the Rally Isla Mallorca.
