A rather quiet week on the new model side. Most of this week’s deliveries have been new and restocked book titles including David Tremayne’s latest release, a comprehensive look at the ‘one and done’ Brawn BGP 001/02 that Jenson Button drove to the Formula One World Championship in 2009.

We were sad to hear of the passing of Augie Pabst at age 90 last week. Augie was one of the best American road racers of his generation and a fine gentleman. Thirty plus years ago we commissioned Michael Turner to do a painting of Augie in the legendary Meister Brauser Scarab as part of our Michael and Graham Turner 1991 North American Exhibition held at Road America and The Motorsport Collector.
After the Exhibition, we published a Limited Edition (200) print of Turner’s painting of Augie’s 1959 Meadowdale winning Scarab. A few of these prints, signed by Augie Pabst and Michael Turner are still available from our archives. Click HERE for information.
