Sept. 9 - Mid-October will see the inaugural Las Vegas edition of the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction hit the Strip in Sin City.
The three-day auction begins on Thursday, October 16 and caries through Saturday. As usual, much of the action will be broadcast on SPEED Channel.
Shelby afficianados will be circling in the sky for Lot #819 to be driven onto the auction platform. This 1949 MG TC roadster is first car that Carroll Shelby drove in a road race - the car that started his racing career.
In May of 1952, his good friend Ed Wilkins let Carroll Shelby drive this MG TC in a road race at Norman, Oklahoma. It was Shelby's first sport car race. He won it, and the second race, too, easily outrunning the Jaguar XK120's. That race and this car changed the course of his life.
This vintage race car has been part of the famous Syd Silverman Collection for the past 20+ years and is well-known throughout the MG vintage race car circuit. Obviously, this car represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own an important piece of automotive history. Bidding should be brisk.
