Silver Martini
THE INSPIRATION

In memory of Vic Elford, Johans created his 7th series- the SILVER MARTINI which celebrated its official launch at the Monterey Car Week 2022.


Victor Henry Elford was an English sports car racing, rallying, and Formula One driver. He participated in 13 World Championship F1 Grands Prix, debuting on 7 July 1968. He scored a total of 8 championship points.


Throughout his life, Elford was not only enthusiastic about the 911; he was also a huge fan of the Porsche 917, even though it was not always easy to handle. He drove six different 917 models in 16 races from 1969 to 1971, including Le Mans.
Because Elford was reliable and fast, his fans called him “Quick Vic” and he was even hired by Steve McQueen to film the high-speed scenes of his 1970 film ‘Le Mans’.


Vic left us in March 2022 but his legacy will live on forever.
