Pretty serious "Cars & Champagne" - Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

After a lot searching I can't find out as to whether or not that is number 19. Somewhere I read that Audi brought the car, which would make it a 1938 Type D and not the 1939 #19 that got so much press a couple years back.

The official entry described it as the 1939 Auto Union D-Type Grand Prix Single Seater owned by Malcolm Barber (Warlingham Surrey, United Kingdom) - it was placed 3rd in its class. Reading the placard, the story was that it raced during the 1939 Grand Prix season and won the Belgrade GP (I believe) on the day World War II was declared.Originally Posted by StorminS4
