A faithful copy of the Piper GTR that missed out on Le Mans in 1966 is expected to make £20-25,000 at Barons’ 8 June sale.
Using authentic body moulds, the racer was created by the man responsible for the original vehicle.
It can also claim to be a mechanically improved version of the car that – having shed its body panels travelling at 164mph down the Mulsanne Straight in practice – never made it to the famous enduro.
The new car features a revised spaceframe chassis, improved cooling (another weakness of the old car) and a Ford Sigma engine.
The Piper even comes with a full set of moulds should the new owner decide to take it into limited production.
Offering rather less performance is a 1958 Regent V open-topped bus with a guide price of £12-17,000.
