Every now and then, something really special emerges from the aether and goes up for auction, and I think this is one of those times. In August at Monterey, Mecum Auctions is going to be putting on the block a very rare (one of three) 1955 Porsche Tempo Mikafa Sport Camper. In case you, like 99.99 percent of the human population of Earth, are unfamiliar with this vehicle, imagine an embiggened Volkswagen Type 2 bus with Art Deco-like detailing and a Porsche 356 engine driving the, shockingly, front wheels. It’s weird and glorious, and, very likely, stunningly slow.
Let’s break down that long name a bit— It’s a Porsche because it was (originally) Porsche-powered, with a 1500cc flat-four from the 356, making about 60 horsepower or so.
