1952 Aardvark

Hey Aardvaark, got some pictures for you, taken at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca raceway a few week ago: Someone raced a 1952 Aardvark:

Last picture is my GT parked next to a $1.6 M Maserati MC12.

Hey thank's for the pics. It's a cool looking vintage machine, the Aardvark.
I love Laguna Seca. I spectated there in 1968 for my first CanAm race and
SCCA National that morning. Very interesting track layout with the unusual
for a race track "Corkscrew". I recall seeing pictures of SSB Manta's and
Ascona's going thru the corkscrew all out of shape. Ha!

Trust me. Plenty of Opels have raced there in the past.
