“We’re like a circus!” – 25 years of historic racing with Peter Schleifer

Since the 1920s, the Schleifer family has specialised in countless different genres of motor car (and household appliances, as you’ll discover shortly). In 2014, third-generation enthusiast Peter set up his own eponymous dealership midway between Stuttgart and Munich, predominantly specialising in classic road cars. But that did nothing to quell his enthusiasm for historic racing – this season he’s been as active as ever.

Lancia Astura is ‘Best of Show’ at the Pebble Beach Concours 2016

The winning car, a 1936 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina Cabriolet, was one of just six examples commissioned by a Lancia dealer in Biella, Italy. Distinguished from its brethren by curved side windows and shoulder-line brightwork, it was found dilapidated in England in the early 1960s, at which point it was restored ‘back home’ by Pininfarina and later sold to Eric Clapton. The car-collecting guitarist apparently proclaimed it “the most fun I’ve had offstage and out of bed.”
