Right - I saw that all were very nice looking vintage cars - but I'm
wondering if any were 1 of 5 made or a car with infamous racing pedigree
- something on the order that survived true professional racing on the
world stage only to be trashed by wannabe Andretti's.

Do any of the collectible insurance policies cover the exhibition aspect
of the vintage racing cars?
