You’re looking at the most expensive American car ever sold at auction - the 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, sold by Gooding Christie’s in Monterey for $42,950. It’s one of only six built, with the aim of beating the Ferrari 250 GTOs. It debuted at the 1964 Tour de France Automobile with Bondurant and Neerpasch and was Carroll Shelby’s personal car from 1975 to 1998

The Quail by Peninsula has become THE place during Monterey Car Week for manufacturers to launch new models. Best of all of them there in our opinion was the new 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆 S1 - like the S1 LM featured in Magneto but with even less obvious aero and a little more luxury. Ironically the only other new launch this week to come close was the McLaren Cars new manual McL 6GT - but that wasn’t at Quail 😔

It’s a shock to hear that the National Motor Museum is looking for a new home. The National Motor Museum Trust’s 60 year lease from the Montagu family at Beaulieu is coming to an end and won’t be renewed. A new home is needed for more than 250 vehicles and 1.9m artefacts - but this will give the Museum a chance to expand and widen its scope, with more education in particular. We love this place and will follow its progress. Full story on Magneto website

A little peek 👀 at the cover of Magneto issue 31…

Sixty years after Ford’s legendary 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans, we reunite the three victorious GT40s – driven together for only the second time since 1966 – to explore the cars, drivers, strategy and controversy behind one of motor racing’s defining moments.

Elsewhere, David Burgess-Wise uncovers the multi-layered story of the imposing 1929 Daimler Double-Six that claimed Best of Show at Pebble Beach, while Marcus Bicknell revisits the remarkable Monterey Peninsula road races of 1950–1956.

Peter M Larsen charts the romantic deterioration and heroic ten-year resurrection of the Saoutchik-bodied Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport; Wayne Batty investigates the true identity of Carlo Abarth’s extreme Fiat streamliner; and David Lillywhite heads to the Welsh rally stages to experience the Dakar-winning Dacia Sandrider.

Plus, Richard Heseltine selects 50 of the world’s greatest hot rods, and we drive the Giugiaro-designed Bizzarrini 5300 Aperta Lusso from Turin into the Alps.

Day Two at the Wilton Concours des Legendes — where the metal gleams and the legends keep coming. 🏁
A little more polish, a lot more horsepower, and stories worth every mile. Which one would you take home?
