G’day

 

Just looked at the car on Bring A Trailer

 

First of all it’s not a rally tribute car, but a Sebring tribute car.

 

While it doesn’t surprise me that it sold for US$200K., in itself the car does not represent the original.

 

It states that it’s a tribute to the cars that ran in 1963 Sebring. Well it’s a BJ8 and the cars that ran in Sebring 1963 were BJ7s as was the car that ran in 1964. The only Works BJ8 that ran at Sebring was in 1965 and was registered DAC 953C. That car is in Australia and owned by occasional list contributor Joe Armour.

 

While I can understand why people want to make tribute cars I don’t understand why they wouldn’t pick the right year/model.
