Perennial favorite George Levy introduces his new book, Motorsports Mavericks, with photos by Pete Biro. He talks about the racing personalities of the ’60s, being “someplace else” as a photographer, human connection in motorsports, shooting inches from cars at speed, pulling the tablecloth trick on Bruce McLaren, and the humanity of Dan Gurney.
Today’s Success Story, from BaT user kwaz023, concerns the 1965 Triumph TR4 that he won from BaT-MaN in a December 2025 BaT auction:
Much like purchasing our house over a decade ago, there were a lot of swings and misses as it related to my BaT experience. There were a handful of cars that I bid on; however, I always seemed to be outbid at the last minute. The only advice I could provide to those in a similar situation is: “persevere.”

“This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

“I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

During Car Week, it is easy to come to the conclusion that all of the interesting cars in the world are concentrated in Monterey, California. Well, we’re here to remind you that the world is a big place, and in fact many of the more interesting vehicles one might encounter are here on this very website. This is the Weekly Weird & Wonderful—our collection of the strangest, coolest, and most interesting cars to appear on BaT in the last seven days.
Event Coverage:
We thought it’d be hard to match last year for the sheer thrill of being around thousands of fellow fans and hundreds of great cars at one of the most festive automotive events in the USA, but 2026 managed to deliver.
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“A Volvo PV544 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. I belong to a women’s vintage car club here on the CA Central Coast called the Highway Honeys. “Lemondrop” as I am calling this beauty would be a perfect addition to my life!”

“A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”

Few people are more qualified to cover the Greenwich Concours than roving BaT contributor @kobus, who has been attending the event every year for quite some time, and even served as the official photographer a few years back. He’s been keeping a busy racing schedule this summer but was still able to make time for this year’s show, and brought back his reflections on the event along with a wonderful collection of images. Enjoy!

“The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.
Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

“I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

“Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

“Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”
