In 1973, Roger Penske created a racing series called the International Race of Champions, or IROC.

1959 Fiat 1200 TV Roadster

1957 Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti
With its outstanding engineering, perfectly sketched lines, charismatic proportions, breathtaking race results and great drivers, the 335 S perfectly symbolizes Ferrari in the 1950s.

1972 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Zagato
The 1600 Junior Zagato we are offering has had only three owners. The most recent is a passionate collector of Italian cars, particularly sports models, that are light and pleasant to drive. This car still has the “Blu Francia” color with which it left the factory. The body was repainted in 2010, with very careful…
