2012 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

The Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca is one of the best vintage racing events in the world. The Shelby Cobra was the featured car this year. Saturday’s Cobra race brought approximately 45 competition Cobras to the grid for an exciting race! In total, 550 cars participated in this year’s event. There was something to see for everyone!

This Bugatti Gran Prix car has some amazing details.

Pre-war Bentley looking well used.

1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300MM. It may look primitive, but it is amazing on the track.

    I guess this is O.K. if you like cobras.

    But that BUS is wonderful, I’d rather have that than all cobras that showed up.
    RHD , too, .any back story on that ??

    Almost as cool as my 1961 Mercedes O321H panorama bus

      ~ forgot you now own the O321H. what a jewel!
      .i have to say, though, one heck of a lota folks have not seen that many Cobra replicas, not to mention a group of original cars like this. i sent the video link to several of them, the less fortunate.

        I owned a O321H before BaT advertised the one in CH .
        I did not by that one, but the new owner had it shipped to California, unless he changed his mind.
        He claimed plans to be at Pebble Beach with it.
        Did anybody spot it there ??

      I must admit, I was interested in the transporter too. I know last year there was a Ferrari one auctioned off at Monterey. I will dig up some more information…

    Turns out that this Cobra transporter was on the auction block this year too and it went for an eye watering $990k! Just under a million dollars! It was fully restored and has some major history since it was used to carry all the Shelby race cars. Ironically, it is a Fiat…

      thanks for the additional info.
      I vaguely remember this or another vehicle like that years, if not decades ago.

      A Fiat for just under $1 million, wow.
