Has P 4/5 got wider front and rear tyres Jim??

 

Yes. Also more modern PS 2's.

Cheers!

 

Excellent. Thanks again mate.

 

How many P4/5's are there on the road or is there just yours?

 

P 4/5 is one of one.

 

I love these two photo's.

 

This month's autoweek had a small article on Jim's new Alpha being the first in the states. nice car Jim!

 

I think it was on this thread but i did read what jalopnik had on it... what a cool daily driver

 

Jim,

This is an amazing thread, I never tire of reading and contemplating it and your words of wisdom.

Watching the Targa Florio video and the duel with the Chapperal, Have you ever had the notion of adding a Chevy Chapperal to your collection? It would kinda make it the "Holy Triity?" I know you have enough with just the P 4/5.

SEASONS GREETINGS...Paolo

 

Would love to but those aren't nor will ever be for sale.

 

Jim Hall still owns all of them? Understandable. Thought of the current Le Mans Champions, the AUDI R10 turbodiesel V 12's? Audi, as cancelled it's ALMS participation. They will only race at Le Mans, this year, this is what I have read.

Ciao...Paolo

 

Maybe he still owes something to GMAC for the cars.

 

They're in the safe hands of his Museum in Midland, TX.

Best

 

I guess Jim isn't the only one driving around the 8c anymore...

No, But I sent mine to Bertone...........Having it re-skinned to look like a `63 Studebaker Avanti,My "dream".

 

My first car was a 54 Stude with a 421 Pontiac, Shiefer Clutch and a Corvette 3 sp.

 

Must've been a fun one!

 

No offense but you guys are pretty old. Lol. (It was a joke ) Hey Jim, saw you on that documentary about the Auto Union "Worlds most expensive car" or something along the lines of that. Nice work sir.

 

Thanks!

 

I saw this--a wonderful show for people that love cars.

What was the final verdict on the Auto Union? Was it a problem in documenting the race history?

 

Yes and it seems that some (Not Christies) knew about it for a while.

Given the rarity of the car if it was just a matter of "race history" how much could it effect the value? And why hasn't been offered again?
P.S. Loved your star turn on the show.
