You all know it's Car Week in PHX/Scottsdale! My job at FOX takes me to all the auctions -- Barrett-Jackson, Russo and Steele, Bonhams, Gooding, RM Sotheby's, and a newcomer (to AZ) this year: Worldwide Auctions. Boy, did Worldwide bring along a beauty...
Enjoy!

Very nice!
Cory! Check these out. Most of them are the real deal, except for my car and Peter Venuti's IM. Mine is easy to spot. Peter's.......Not so much (Black exterior, Tan interior, Over riders) the rest are all members of my local 356 club. There's a white TYP 540 in there (Beehives out back, but a 3-gauge dash) in the same price range as that one you found.
That Speedster is a nice museum piece. I'll take a DD Speedster any day.
However, for those who want to study the details, the photos are great, and it is a nice part of automotive history for those with the big bucks and the right golf shirt.
What Bob said; it's beautiful, but so expensive (and irreplaceable) that it doesn't get driven, which when you think of it, is sacrilege. Our plastic clown cars (thank you Stan, for coining that phrase!) are way more fun, go way better (don't get me wrong- I do love the originals, pre A's especially, but it's only got a 1600 and did you see those skinny tires?), and are cheap to replace if something happens and you go crunch...

Wow, Gordon! I love the pictures! Your baby looks right at home! Oh, that's my kind of day, too…
That mustang fastback in the background could be dropped off in my driveway any day too 
Looks like an Intermeccanica with skinny tires:-)

I wouldn't say no either...
I'll take the Bentley, please.
