A Legendary Tale: ‘Quick Vic’s’ 1968 Porsche 907 K
Without question, seeing this particular #Porsche at The Amelia Auction in early March will be a personal highlight. I first had the chance to meet the late, great Vic Elford during my management years at Brumos Porsche. Vic is a legend of Porsche, and I know that simply standing in the presence of “his” 907 K will bring back a flood of memories and tales of epic driving feats.
It was an honor to know you, Vic.

A Legendary Tale: ‘Quick Vic’s’ 1968 Porsche 907 K
We’re beyond thrilled to announce the addition of the 1968 Targa Florio-winning Porsche 907 K to our inaugural Amelia Auction!
Chassis no. 907 025’s victory at the 1968 Targa Florio is a legendary tale in a season that saw ‘Quick Vic’ Elford at the top of his game. Porsche System Engineering paired the car with Elford and Umberto Maglioli for the race. After several initial setbacks and incredible assistance from race-mad locals, Umberto would return the car to fourth position before Elford would set three successive lap records.
With a half-lap to go, 907 025 passed Alfa’s leading Tipo 33/2 and extended that lead to over three minutes at the finish, lopping nearly 10 minutes off the previous overall best race time. No season in Elford’s career matched his 1968 performance and no race in 1968 equaled his win at the Targa Florio in 907 025.
During time spent in the world-class Porsche collection of Dr. Julio Palmaz, the 907 K was restored to its original Targo Florio configuration, complete with rebuilt original engine, and today remains in very similar condition to when it left the Porsche Prototype Racing Cars workshop over 20 years ago.
