## Caption

Imagine a race victory so popular at Porsche and so characterized by one man that instead of the traditional race victory poster featuring a speeding, colorful car, it instead featured the happy, but completely drained image of the man who willed that car and team to victory.

'Quick Vic' Elford's drive, along with co-driver Umberto Maglioli, at the 1968 Targa Florio in this Porsche 907, chassis no. 025, remains a legendary Bunyanesque tale within Porsche and throughout the larger racing world. It was not a one-off success. Elford's races throughout that 1968 season, in all manner of competition cars, gave him the confidence to push this 907 lap after lap - each of his final three laps of the Piccolo Circuito delle Madonie circuit (44.74 mi) a new lap record - to catch and pass an astonished Autodelta team, showing their Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 a clean pair of heels all the way to the finish, a hat trick of Targa victories for Porsche.

We’re looking forward to seeing this historic air-cooled Porsche 907 K hit the block at the Amelia Auction, managed by our friends at broadarrow_auctions. 🏁
