Motor Racing and Motor Sport Memorabilia Races In To Whittons!!

An exciting opportunity to buy some incredible memorabilia owned by a member of the Porsche Le Mans pit crew.

Whittons of Honiton are excited to be offering more than 600 lots of Motor Racing and Motor Sport Memorabilia in their sale starting at 10:30am this Wednesday 15th February.

Incredibly, the late owner of the entire collection was a member of the pit crew for Porsche at Le Mans! He was an avid collector of Motoring books, posters, and model vehicles. He was clearly well-known in his field and much of his collection is signed by drivers and authors alike, having been amassed over fifty years. The vast quantity of items is now being sold without reserves. 

We've taken a look at some of the highlights of this incredible sale.
