Porsche's One-Off Le Mans liveries will celebrate 75 years of history.
Porsche is the most successful brand in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans by a fairly wide margin, winning the race overall 19 separate times. Its campaign to stretch that record to 20 starts with the new-for-2023 Penske Porsche 963 program, and those factory-run 963s will wear a vibrant one-off livery at this year's 24 hour classic.
As 2023 marks both the 75th anniversary of Porsche and the 100th anniversary of Le Mans, the cars are a throwback to the entirety of the brand's prototype racing heritage. Rather than wrapping each car in an individual tribute, all three incorporate elements of historic liveries into the existing red-black-white scheme the car has run in both Europe and North America since its January debut.
Together with black in between each stripe, the source colors combine to create an unfolding pattern that replaces the red stripes on the standard Penske 963s. Each car retains a contrasting fin to help identify the specific entry, with black on the No. 5 WEC entry, white on the No. 6 WEC entry, and red on the additional No. 75 entry being run with IMSA-based personnel only for the race..

Used 1991 Mazda MX-5 Le Mans Edition - 1 of 24, 91k miles for saleIn celebration of Mazda’s historic and unexpected win at the 1991 Le Mans 24 hour race a special version of the firm’s hugely successful and very capable MX5 sports convertible was announced to mark this success. Just 24 cars were to be made available to order from the 15th August 1991, they featured an ultimate specification, most notably duotone red and green bodywork with decals following the livery of the victorious Mazda 787B sports racer. Each vehicle was fitted with the BBR Turbo Kit that greatly increased the performance with a rise in power to 150bhp from the rather pedestrian 114bhp of the standard MX5. In addition, a number of unique details included a body styling kit, special polished alloy wheels, stainless sill plates and an embossed black leather owners wallet with a certificate confirming the car to be one of the limited Le Mans versions, signed by one of the drivers in the winning team. This car retains all of the originally specified features and the certificate is signed by perhaps the most famous driver of all, Johnny Herbert. This Le Mans edition was supplied when new by Westcars Mazda, the main dealer in Glasgow on the 20th September 1991. A number of enthusiasts have owned the car since including a very active member of the MX5 Owners Club. Each of these owners have clearly looked after the car very carefully as today with a recorded 90,000 miles, it remains in superb original condition throughout. The extensive history file and original stamped service book shows very diligent maintenance throughout the car’s life, this probably explains why the car drives so well. Indeed, it could easily pass for a very low mileage example in terms of both appearance and the taut driving experience. A special little car serving up real verve and character, supplying far more excitement and rarity than expected at this price level. It comes with the above-mentioned history file and original book pack.
