LEBANON, Mo., Sept. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With the conclusion of the successful Muscle Car Madness auction, fans of European manufacturers and classic racing are abuzz. The Nobles’ Family Auto Museum has consigned pinnacle models from makers that need no introduction. Ferrari, BMW, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and others abound in Sonicbidder.com’s Auto Exotix Auction, happening Wednesday, September 29, at 10:30 a.m. CST. The star of the auction, however, has been the 1960 Scarab Formula 1 that is one of two raced and one of three produced in the entire world.

The success of the Scarab’s small American teams taking on the best of European constructors with their own well-crafted models was a sight to see in its day. This particular Scarab was a tribute to the imagination and determination of Lance Reventlow and his talented Venice, California team. Its intricate desmodromic valve dual overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine may be the highest development of an American racing tradition. Even the great Stirling Moss couldn’t resist Reventlow’s invitation to drive his rival’s Scarab when they raced at Monaco. After Chuck Daigh’s serious crash, the remains of GP-2 were shipped to Southern California. The engine that powered the Scarab in its first 1960 season was acquired along with various blueprints and documents. With that, the team concluded that they had now gathered all the parts of the racer that survived. As a matter of fact, later work was actually done with guidance from Chuck Daigh himself. Numerous written records document the restoration.

Scarabs have become more sought after than ever. The remaining two cars are safeguarded in the most coveted of racing collections. Other star cars in Auto Exotix include a highly rare 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB and a 1980 BMW M1. Being in possession of any of these cars will ensure invitations to prestigious racing events, Concours, and shows. They truly are one of a kind models. These jewels have been kept in pristine condition and are full of incredible production/racing stories. For more details on the Scarab F1, Ferrari 275 GTB, or BMW M1, visit Sonicbidder.com’s press stories.

Your chance to own this historic racer arrives when Sonicbidder.com’s Auto Exotix auction goes live on Wednesday, September 29, at 10:30 a.m. CST. For more information, be sure to give Sonicbidder.com a call at (877) 824-3337 or send us a message to inquiries@sonicbidder.com.

Cambodia Receives New Batch Of Three Million Doses Of Sinovac COVID-19 Vaccine

PHNOM PENH– Cambodia yesterday received a new batch of three million doses of China’s Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine.
A flight carrying the vaccine, purchased from Chinese biopharmaceutical firm, Sinovac Biotech, landed at the Phnom Penh International Airport shortly before 10:00 a.m. local time, said the Ministry of Health (MoH) Secretary of State, Yok Sambath.
“This new batch will be used to inoculate our young children aged from six to under 12 years,” she told reporters.
To date, Cambodia received a total of 32.6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from friendly countries and the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s COVAX Facility, of which 29.8 million doses, or 91.4 percent, are from China, she said.
The nation launched a COVID-19 vaccination drive in Feb. As of Sept 23, the kingdom has administered at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccines to 12.8 million people, or 80 percent of its 16-million population, the MoH said.
Of them, 10.7 million, or 67 percent, have been fully vaccinated with both required shots, and 855,045 people, or 5.34 percent, have received a booster dose, it added.
WHO representative to Cambodia, Li Ailan, said earlier this week that, Cambodia is one of the most successful countries in the WHO Western Pacific Region, in securing adequate vaccines and vaccinating its targeted population.
“WHO is very pleased that a combination of the Cambodian government’s strong leadership, active public participation, and effective partnerships, makes Cambodia’s vaccine rollout a great success,” she said.
Cambodia yesterday reported a daily record of 822 new COVID-19 cases, lifting the national total caseload to 107,441, the MoH said, adding that, 21 more fatalities have been registered, taking the overall death toll to 2,197.
