It was a Type D Auto-union (Audi was one of the 4 marquees that formed the Auto-union group, and sole survivor).
The problem was that the chassis was the 19, not the 21 they thought it was. In fact, the 19 has a quite more interesting racing history, but the 21 won the 1939 French GP. this is the only Auto Union to which Grand Prix racing results can be attributed.
In the light of the new data, Christie's was accepting closed-bids, but the auction was latter withdrawn.
You can read all about it here in Autoblog, if you use the search engine. :)
What I don't understand is the insistence of the nazy comments, specialy when the US does what the nazys did (guantanamo, massmurders of civilians, torture, denial of any sense of democracy or internacional law, guilty until proven otherwise).
The car was engineered by Ferdinand Porsche.
