If Mr. Bugatti's own Type 57 Coupe doesn't satisfy your rare-car desires, RM Auctions will be selling two legendary Harry Miller racing cars in August during the weekend of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The first is the bespoke 1931 Miller V16 and the second is a 1927 Miller 91 -- a remake of the Frank Lockhart racer that set a land speed record of 160.01 at Muroc dry lake.
The V16 was the only V16 Miller ever built, and was collecting dust for ages somewhere in a storage facility before being swept up by Chuck Davis in 1978. Now with a light gray livery, the car has been meticulously restored to resemble a 1932 Indy 500 racer. It's been 30 years since it last changed hands, so it's expected to bring top dollar when it hits the block at the Portola Hotel and Spa in Monterey in August.
Joining the Miller V16 beast is the rear-wheel-drive 1927 Miller 91. It features a custom-built Miller engine from the Frank Lockhart land speed car and has been completely restored.
