1959 Porsche 718 RSK Roadster

  • Chassis Number: 718-031
This Porsche 718 RSK Spyder was sold new to American Bernie Vihl and driven by racer Bob Holbert in SCCA events beginning in the spring of 1959. It was driven to victory at the 2-litre Governor's Trophy race during the Bahamas Speedweek and two days later won its class in the Nassau Trophy Race, finishing third overall.

Holbert raced 718-031 until the close of the 1960 season. It entered the current owner's care in the early 1970s and has recently been offered for sale for the first time in nearly five decades.
