Having been fully restored by a Ferrari specialist in Maranello – home of the legendary marque itself – this 365 GT4 BB is in concours-ready condition and boasts a fascinating history. As shown on the original correspondence in the car’s extensive history file, chassis number 18145 was ordered by Ferrari’s British importer, Maranello Concessionaires, in June 1974. It was finished in Rosso Chiaro with Beige interior and was delivered in September of that year, ready to be displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show the following month. The Ferrari was then sold to its first owner – the London Sports Car Centre in Edgware – in January 1975 for £14,255. Having been registered HLD 15N, it passed in short order to Essex-based James Porter and then John Millward, who took delivery in April 1975. Millward was a keen amateur racer and he’s pictured competing in the car at Silverstone in Mel Nichols’ 1979 book Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer – a copy of which is included in the file. Millward briefly sold the BB in the late 1970s but soon regretted the decision and bought it back. He eventually sold it for good in 1980, when it passed to Leonard Potter and was re-registered 111 HLM. The following year, Potter sold it to Nigel Walker of Modena Engineering in East Horsley, and he commissioned Autokraft to convert the Ferrari into a ‘targa’ by having the roof panel removed and strengthening added to the chassis and sills. The car remained in that form for more than 30 years, through an extensive mid-1980s restoration, and would be featured in books such as the sixth edition of Ferrari by Hans Tanner and Doug Nye, as well as Ferrari Supercars by Nathan Beehl. Through 2015 and 2016, the BB was extensively restored to original specification in Maranello – all of the work is carefully catalogued in the history file, with the invoices totalling €190,000. The car was then awarded Red Book certification by Ferrari Classiche. Now being offered for sale by the Classic Motor Hub, this Ferrari 365 GT4 BB is presented in its original colour combination and is immaculate throughout. One of only 58 right-hand-drive cars delivered to the UK, it is supplied with its original instruction book and tool kit, was displayed at Salon Privé in 2021, and is surely one of the very best examples of Ferrari’s first mid-engined supercar. MODEL HISTORY Developed as a replacement for the front-engined Daytona, the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB was first shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show before being put on sale two years later. It was the first mid-engined road car to carry the Ferrari name and – like the Scuderia’s contemporary Formula One cars and sports-prototypes – it featured a flat-12 powerplant. The 4390cc unit used belts rather than chains to drive its overhead camshafts, and it was mounted longitudinally, with the five-speed gearbox positioned underneath. When Motoring News tested a BB in July 1974, it said that, at high revs, ‘the engine is really howling… a beautiful, hard, cammy noise that is unmistakeably Ferrari’. The clean, angular Pininfarina styling laid down a template for mid-engined Ferraris that would last until well into the 1980s. Beneath it lay a blend of unitary construction around the cabin and a tubular structure elsewhere, and the bodywork was made of steel – apart from the doors and the nose and tail sections, which were aluminium. Inside, air-conditioning was standard and road-testers complimented the comfort levels and general ease with which this latest two-seater supercar could be driven. It came at a price, though, with only a handful of ultra-exclusive cars from Mercedes and Rolls-Royce costing more than the 365 GT4 BB when it was launched. With 360bhp, the BB had a top speed in the region of 180mph, and Motoring News recorded an unofficial 0-100mph sprint in 12 seconds while carrying a full load of fuel. There was a competition-spec version, too – the BB LM, which was raced by the likes of legendary Ferrari concessionaires NART and Ecurie Francorchamps. A Charles Pozzi-entered BB LM managed to finish fifth overall at Le Mans in 1981 with the all-French driver line-up of Claude Ballot-Léna and Jean-Claude Andruet. Only 387 examples of the 365 GT4 BB were built before it morphed into the 512 BB in 1976. This new model featured an enlarged 4942cc engine but was still fitted with Weber carburettors. These were finally phased out on the 512i, which was introduced in 1981 and represented the final stage in the development of the Berlinetta Boxer before it was replaced by the Testarossa in 1984. 1974 Ferrari 365 Berlinetta Boxer The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

G,T and O are three letters that adorn the world's most desirable and arguably most valuable Ferrari. Second generation GTO's were born during the early 1980's when many leading motor manufacturers thought FISA's Group B regulations would evolve into the definitive platform for showcasing their most technologically advanced machinery. In order to qualify for Group B, FISA stipulated that 200 identical road cars had to be produced and sold to the public for homologation to be granted. However, Group B was destined to become a stillborn series and much to the disappointment of race fans the world over, Ferrari's 288 and the Porsche 959 never took to the track in anger. Nevertheless, like Porsche, Ferrari decided to go ahead with a limited production run for their super high performance Group B challengers. The 288 was the first mid-engined Ferrari street car to be fitted with a longitudinally mounted engine, this was an all-alloy Tipo F114B 90° V8 with a capacity of 2855cc producing a phenomenal 400bhp at 7000rpm thanks to twin IHI turbochargers at 0.8 bar of boost while Behr intercoolers cooled the charge air. As a result zero to sixty MPH was just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 189mph was possible. These astounding figures meant Ferrari's 288 GTO arrived as the fastest production car in the world on its 1984 launch. 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO D.K.

The Ferrari 550 Maranello is a traditional front-engined V12 Grand Tourer. The 5.5 litre V12 engine with 4 valves per cylinder with dual overhead cams and variable length intake manifold produces 485 bhp at 7000 rpm. The love for early 2000s Ferraris is increasing so don’t miss this well maintained 550 Maranello. This superb example in ‘Grigio Titanio’ with a light ice grey leather interior was delivered new via Sportgarage Leirer in Switzerland. Ever since then the car was maintained at the official Ferrari dealerships, first in Switzerland and then via Germany in Holland. We acquired the car 6 years ago for the current owner and again no expenses were spared on maintenance. The sticky switches were treated as were all other ‘faults’ the Maranello in general has. A new clutch was fitted as well as a set of new tyres. Most recently the car was serviced in January 2024 at the official Ferrari dealer. All original manuals and leather pouch come with the car, as well as a nice file with invoices The car is in superb condition, does not have a scratch and most of the paint is original. The interior is near faultless and has ‘Daytona’ style seats (have a look at the details). Having tested the car for 75 km we can say there is not a rattle or sound in the car apart from the 12 cilinders and the standard exhaust system. The gearbox is a delight and the engine pulls like a bear! The car has its full Ferrari dealer service history and original service book. The car has just 69.000 km registered (just over 41.000 mls. from new). The car has Dutch registration papers, is road registered and ready to enjoy! 2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello ‘Grigio Titanio’ Very Superior Old Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Single family ownership from 1980 – 2019 BMW’s only mid-engine sportscar Recent major mechanical servicing and preservation restoration completed by Canepa BMW tool roll kit, road hazard triangle, medical kit and spare wheel/tire Rivalry has always been an effective catalyst for producing some of the world’s most well-designed sports cars. Companies always have pushed their designs to the limit to beat out their competitors in efforts to win the affection of consumers on the street and championships on the track. The BMW M1, the Bavarian Motor Company’s first mid-engined sports car, was just that. Originally conceptualized to go up against the likes of Porsche’s incredibly-dominant racers, the M1 became an iconic street car with its racing counterpart gaining widespread success in Group 4 racing. Born from competition, wearing Italian-designed bodywork by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built by German specialty coachbuilder Baur, the BMW M1 team effort created one of BMW’s most iconic vehicles of all time. This BMW M1 began its life with a single Bay Area family and remained in their possession since new. Importing the car from Germany from new was John Davila. During his life, John owned a total of three M1s and was very much in love with the style and design of the M1. Of the three cars, two came to him in orange and the other in blue. This example he drove for a few years when he first acquired the car before deciding to do a comprehensive and very detailed color change to white. Among all of the cars that John owned and drove over the years, this M1 was the car that he kept. In the early 1990s John passed away, leaving his prized M1 to his two sons who inherited his passion and love for automobiles. Wanting to keep one of the fondest lasting memories of their late father, the family stored the car in the San Francisco Bay Area where it would remain until early 2010. Upon exiting its storage, it was completely serviced so the two brothers could enjoy the car. Both of the brothers described being able to drive the car allowed them to experience their memories again of their father and all of the fun times they had together in the M1. In 2017 the car was given a comprehensive service by Canepa that included service, mechanical repair, and preservation restoration including work on the wiring harness, alternator, fuel system, suspension bushings, and brakes. The M1 was also given a sympathetic preservation of the interior, using new original carpet and Überkaro black checkered cloth inserts in the seats while preserving all of the original black leather. In 2019 it returned to Canepa to complete all of its mechanical servicing and refurbishment, restoring all of the mechanical systems as needed. The car was treated to a full “Canepa Difference” experience, with all systems on the car inspected to be working in correct order. Items that were addressed included: restoring the entire exhaust system, wheels refinished, new tires, a comprehensive engine tune up, engine reseal, new coolant hoses, new injection pump belt, exhaust gaskets, engine lid struts, air conditioning service, plug wire set, and all fluids changed. It was then given a complete concours-level detail, ensuring that every surface was pristine. The white paint was polished using only a foam pad and polish, needing very little work to be brought to showroom standards. In all, an investment of over $125,000 was put into this white M1 to bring this car up to a concours “preservation-quality” level. Now this stunning 1980 BMW M1 is ready for its next caretaker to enjoy driving or keeping it in a collection. Maintained and preserved to the highest standards – a rare example of BMW’s most iconic sportscar. 1980 BMW M1 Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Companies always have pushed their designs to the limit to beat out their competitors in efforts to win the affection of consumers on the street and championships on the track. The BMW M1, the Bavarian Motor Company’s first mid-engined sports car, was just that. Originally conceptualized to go up against the likes of Porsche’s incredibly-dominant racers, the M1 became an iconic street car with its racing counterpart gaining widespread success in Group 4 racing. Born from competition, wearing Italian-designed bodywork by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built by German specialty coachbuilder Baur, the BMW M1 team effort created one of BMW’s most iconic vehicles of all time. This BMW M1 began its life with a single Bay Area family and remained in their possession since new. Importing the car from Germany from new was John Davila. During his life, John owned a total of three M1s and was very much in love with the style and design of the M1. Of the three cars, two came to him in orange and the other in blue.

Highlights for this car One of 45 Series 1 26R factory race cars built by Lotus Lap record holder at Laguna Seca and Sonoma 2022 Class Rolex Award for Excellence Virtually unbeatable recent race results Documented ownership history since new Excellent condition with top-level mechanical preparation A rare and historically important Lotus ready for race use General History With the introduction of the Model 26 Elan in 1962, Lotus was poised to deliver superlative engineering and innovative racing concepts into a well-balanced lightweight competition car, cleverly cloaked in street trim. The genius behind Colin Chapman was not limited to building great racing cars, rather that they served a dual, albeit often challenging purpose – a car that can compete but still be usable on the street. With the new Elan, the results hit the target perfectly. The 1,500 lb roadster utilized a steel backbone frame with bonded fiberglass body panels, refined suspension, and disc brakes all around. Though racing for the Elan was limited to privateer entrants in the early days, it became clear that the Elan proved to be a massive success in the hands of capable drivers. In 1964 the Elan became homologated as the 26R. Spanning a mere two years, 97 examples were constructed in both S1 and S2 configurations. Vastly superior due to the small footprint, lightweight construction, and capable twin cam engine, many standard Lotus Elans were privately built to racing specifications but only 97 factory prepared race cars were built by Lotus. Refinements included a stiffened chassis, triangulated rollbar, up-rated suspension using competition wishbones and sliding spline drive shafts, wider magnesium wheels, lightweight thinner skin laminate body construction with covered cowl-type headlights, and dual circuit disc brakes with light alloy calipers. A BRM or Cosworth purpose-built race engine netting 135-165 hp was mated to magnesium cast gearboxes and limited slip aluminum alloy differential carriers to further save weight. Top level drivers would achieve win after win behind the wheel of these capable and impressive sports cars so much so that motorsports press would herald these cars as giant killers, taking down cars with often double the engine size, backed by millions of dollars in corporate funding. Of the 97 competition 26R models built, a mere 30 factory original examples are purported to exist today due in part to the nature of racing and the consistent improvements made as the model evolved. General Overview This factory-built Lotus 26R was assembled in 1964 as serial number 37, among the last of the Series 1 examples constructed (45 in all), it was finished with BRG livery, fitted with engine #156 41 002, and delivered to the first owner, Mr. Henry Kelley, on July 11, 1964. Kelley raced the car at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch, and Donington Raceway. In 1968 the car was purchased by Frank Opalka, Chicago, IL who raced the car from 1968-1988 in both Production and Production Modified SCCA classes, sharing wheel time with John Gabriel. In 1990 the car was sold to John Weinberger (Continental Motors, Chicago, IL) who enlisted expert Jim Groom in Berkeley, CA to rest0re the car. Under his ownership, the drive yolk broke while at speed participating in the David Love races. The resultant body damage was assessed and determined that a new body shell would be better than repairing the older shell. The older body shell was removed, all parts transferred to the new body, various details freshened, and a new super lightweight fiberglass Tony Thompson body was purchased and installed. The chassis was sent to Jim Groom who previously had built the roll cage. Groom repaired the cage and assessed the frame, determining it to be straight and not in need of repairs. Weinberger raced the car at Road America and other NE venues. By 1995 the car was sold to Greg Whitten, Seattle, WA a well-known Lotus racing enthusiast with two other 26Rs in his collection. The ACCUS FIA/USA technical passport was assigned to the car in 2007. Whitten sold the car to the next owner, a Seattle, WA resident who achieved several wins and podium finishes at Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Road America, Watkins Glen, and Mount Tremblac. The current owner purchased the car in 2021. Importantly, this rare car has always been in the hands of thoughtful enthusiasts and carefully prepared by Lotus racing professionals tending to all mechanical details as evidenced by 230 pages of detailed records outlining work performed on the car from 2007-2021, including several entries for work performed in 2021, 2020, and 2019 as well as extensive preparation under current ownership. Among the more notable work performed on the car, in 2005, the gearbox was rebuilt, and Veloce Motors West prepared a specially built engine to mate with the freshly built gearbox. Dyno sheets and summary letter indicate peak power of 185hp within the 8,000 – 8,300 rpm range. Invoices for the engine work, gear ratios, engine components, and dyno sheet accompany the car. Although a wet sump engine, it runs as a dry sump configuration with a large volume oil pan. A new SAS cylinder head was installed in 2016. In April 2021, in preparation for Monterey week racing at Laguna Seca, a new racing harness was installed, a new radiator fitted, and a custom tach cable installed. 2020 work included the installation of the engine, chassis dyno time, new fuel lines, Quaife GR kit, new main case, and axle seals. Under current ownership, in September 2022 Deutsche Motorsports, Concord, CA installed new brake rotors and pads, new front and rear shock absorbers, new front anti-roll bar, weld repair for the driveshaft, and nut/battery inspection. in April 2023 Thompson Racing supplied a new complete cassette type lightweight Mig welded roll cage, which is included with the car, ready for installation. Work performed in preparation for Monterey, July 2023, also by Deutsche included fluids, new battery (battery box modified for better fit), nut/bolt/chassis inspection, and brake check. In October 2023 Turbohoses R&D, Livermore, CA removed the engine and disassembled the transmission to repair the shift rod and weld shift assembly. The transmission, having been converted to a dog ring type with internals in a stock case required some clearance correction. The shaft bushing was machined for better fit, and clearance modifications made to improve shift performance. At the Monterey Rolex Reunion the current owner qualified on class pole (GT cars under 2.5 liters) but started both races from the back for fun. From 24th, it won both races posting lap times that would have been competitive running with Shelby Cobras and Ferrari 250 GTOs in the over 2.5-liter class. This Lotus also won overall in the Monterey Historics SCCA Production Sports Car field in 2022 and was given the class Rolex Award for Excellence. In 2023 it was on Pole and won overall at Velocity Invitational against 250LMs. In total under current ownership this 26R has proved victorious no less than three times at the Rolex Reunion and three times at the Velocity Invitational, while demonstrating the quickest recorded times for any Lotus Elan-based car at both Sonoma Raceway and Laguna Seca. From a competition perspective, this example has proven to be essentially unbeatable. General Condition Today this historically important Lotus has been faithfully cared for and properly prepared for vintage event competition. With multiple experts weighing in on the provenance in period and over the past 47 years, the current cosmetic condition is reflective of the original BRG racing livery and sensitively performed upgrades appropriate for modern competition use. The attention to detail from the bodywork to the mechanical features is evident throughout every aspect of the car. The paintwork overall is glossy, with typical stone chips on front facing surfaces consistent with vintage race duty. The magnesium wheels and racing tires are in excellent condition, appropriately sized and tucked under the gently flared wheel arches. The clear lenses covering the fixed headlights, rear lighting, windscreen and hardtop are also in very good condition. A single yellow stripe tracks the center of the car, flanked by twin pin stripes and white meatballs adorned with number 37. Quad taillights, chrome door handles, and rocker panel air scoops (which aid in rear brake cooling) blend the road and competition feel of these early S1 factory homologated race cars. The windshield is adorned with numerous event stickers from the past five years indicating recent racing participation at some of the most respected racing venues on the west coast. The cockpit is clean and very well laid out offering excellent right hand driving position and natural access to the shifter and foot pedals. Twin formed bucket seats match the flat black interior finishes, and a competition five-point seat belt dated to December 2023 protects the driver while a wide lap belt awaits a fortunate passenger should the opportunity arise. A fire suppression system is also professionally installed along with a lightweight and recently fitted (July 2023) battery mounted to the footwell area of the passenger compartment. The roll bar features side impact cross member construction at both doors, while the black finish dashboard offers vintage instruments, protected toggle switches, and a Lotus branded steering wheel. Purposefully constructed with racing in mind, there is a nice blend of vintage components and high-level finish that completes the cockpit in a very cohesive manner. Under the removable hood, the capable twin-cam engine sits proudly upright, defying the low hood line and considerable power derived from such a potent 4-cylinder engine. The compact engine is finished with black crackle coating over the cam covers while the intake side is fed by 45DCOE Weber carburetors and a correct air box, force fed from a large intake hose at the front of the car. The opposite side of the engine features four beautifully formed exhaust header tubes exiting to stainless steel exhaust. Everything from the aluminum radiator to the plumbing, lines, hoses, and fittings are all beautifully and purposefully assembled to a high level of finish. The hinged trunk is finished in flat black and houses a professionally built fuel tank with proper hardware and lines. Underneath the car, the quality continues to amaze with excellent components, beautifully built suspension, robust axle shafts, and thoughtful detailing. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an historically correct and documented example of one of the most important Lotus competition cars ever built. The Lotus 26R is not only a legendary racecar from an historic perspective, it will confidently compete at the head of the pack in any current vintage racing event, just as it has in recent races. The excellent mechanical condition, known ownership history, and the historic importance of factory construction figure prominently in the rarity and usability of this rare and desirable Series 1 Lotus 26R. PLEASE NOTE: although this car has been previously prepared for competition use, we recommend that a qualified race shop review the car to determine all systems are appropriately prepared before it is used in a competition setting. Items Included with the Car This car is accompanied by service records spanning more than 20 years, a copy of the ACCUS Historic Technical Report, numerous notes compiled from former owners, a Lotus Elan E001A roll cage, new on palate (purchased April 2023), seven coil springs of various ratings, various bagged parts, gaskets, and misc. hub parts, Facet fuel pump, and a spare sway bar. 1964 Lotus 26R Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The roll bar features side impact cross member construction at both doors, while the black finish dashboard offers vintage instruments, protected toggle switches, and a Lotus branded steering wheel. Purposefully constructed with racing in mind, there is a nice blend of vintage components and high-level finish that completes the cockpit in a very cohesive manner. Under the removable hood, the capable twin-cam engine sits proudly upright, defying the low hood line and considerable power derived from such a potent 4-cylinder engine. The compact engine is finished with black crackle coating over the cam covers while the intake side is fed by 45DCOE Weber carburetors and a correct air box, force fed from a large intake hose at the front of the car. The opposite side of the engine features four beautifully formed exhaust header tubes exiting to stainless steel exhaust. Everything from the aluminum radiator to the plumbing, lines, hoses, and fittings are all beautifully and purposefully assembled to a high level of finish. The hinged trunk is finished in flat black and houses a professionally built fuel tank with proper hardware and lines. Underneath the car, the quality continues to amaze with excellent components, beautifully built suspension, robust axle shafts, and thoughtful detailing. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an historically correct and documented example of one of the most important Lotus competition cars ever built. The Lotus 26R is not only a legendary racecar from an historic perspective, it will confidently compete at the head of the pack in any current vintage racing event, just as it has in recent races. The excellent mechanical condition, known ownership history, and the historic importance of factory construction figure prominently in the rarity and usability of this rare and desirable Series 1 Lotus 26R. PLEASE NOTE: although this car has been previously prepared for competition use, we recommend that a qualified race shop review the car to determine all systems are appropriately prepared before it is used in a competition setting. Items Included with the Car This car is accompanied by service records spanning more than 20 years, a copy of the ACCUS Historic Technical Report, numerous notes compiled from former owners, a Lotus Elan E001A roll cage, new on palate (purchased April 2023), seven coil springs of various ratings, various bagged parts, gaskets, and misc. hub parts, Facet fuel pump, and a spare sway bar.

Built in the December 1967 production run and first registered in 1968, Chassis No.194678S405765 started life as a Silverstone Silver C3 Corvette 427 big block, optioned with a manual 4-speed heavy-duty close-ratio transmission, before it was purchased by Sacramento native and racer Randy Bryan to compete in events with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). With the support of local Sacramento companies and sponsors, Bryan tasked Jim Herbert with race car preparation - Herbert was the pioneering SoCal Top Fuel drag racer and preparer at Don Tognotti’s ‘Speed Shops’, and latterly his own ‘Performance World’ brand. Herbert and his team would build the Corvette into SCCA ‘A Production’ full-race specification – resplendent in Tognotti’s Auto World and Sacramento Office Furnishings Centre's distinctive metallic green and white colours. From the remaining SCCA logbooks and records still with the car, Bryan competed in a combination of 16 SCCA Western Conference and National races across 1976 & 1977, switching between L88 454ci big block (iron) and 427ci ZL1 aluminium big block race engine configurations. This SCCA specification was essentially the same as the Group 4 Corvette C3s that were competing at Le Mans and in the World Championship throughout the late-1960s through until the late ‘70s. By 1978, Bryan and Herbert had further developed the car with the addition of an IMSA specification Greenwood ‘wide body’ kit, entering the big ‘vette into California based IMSA Camel GT races. Still carrying Tognotti’s livery, Bryan entered the Monterey Triple Crown Camel GT Challenge at Laguna Seca in April 1978. Competing in the GTO class and facing the challenge of the GTX class factory-built Porsche 935s of Hurley Haywood, George Follmer, Peter Gregg, Dick Barbour Danny Ongais, Bob Bondurant, the Wittington Brothers and McLaren-built works BMW 320 Turbo of David Hobbs, Bryan was classified 10th in GTO. Bryan entered one last race in the July of 1979, at the Sprite Grand Prix Winston GT race at Sears Point International Raceway. With an increased field of factory and customer specification Porsche 935s, and the same standout drivers and teams of that era of IMSA Camel GT racing, Bryan was a DNF on lap 25. Thereafter, Bryan sold the car to Dwight Davis who ran the car in both SCCA GT-1 and Trans Am races throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. After lying dormant for several years, the car was acquired by Larry Crossan, a well-known California based collector and the owner of Folsom Chevrolet in Sacramento, who returned the car back to its original L88 roadster racing period specification. During the complete frame-off restoration, Larry had his team restore the car to exacting period specification, using factory Corvette racing manuals throughout the process for reference. An incredibly rare Keith Black-prepared original ZL1 aluminium big block race engine was acquired and installed, along with the correct competition Muncie M22 transmission. In plain white livery, the car became a showpiece in Larry’s private collection and was shown at various concours events until the current custodian acquired the car towards the end of 2020 and imported it into the UK. With plans to race across the UK and Europe at events such as Le Mans Classic, the car was checked and race-prepared with the necessary Motorsport UK/FIA safety modifications, as well as being returned to the original Randy Bryan racing livery. The car is now ready to be raced in the various 75th anniversary Corvette races all over the world this year, or indeed Patrick Peter’s fabulous CER 1 and Le Mans Classic. Complete with UK Road Registration, it is also a thunderous, and surprisingly useable weapon for road rallies such as Tour Auto and Modena Cento Ore. 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster Group 4 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

By the mid-to-late 1980s, Jaguar had firmly re-established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the top echelon of motorsport. Jaguar formed a partnership with Tom Walkinshaw Racing, called JaguarSport, in 1986; its objective was to compete, and win, in the same World Sportscar Championship (WSC) where Jaguar had built its racing legacy with its C-Type and D-Type racers. Jaguar honed the performance credentials of its XJR prototype racecar platform through various model iterations. This culminated with the XJR-9 and XJR-12, which won the 1988 and 1990 editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This monumental success on the track would form the building blocks for what followed from Jaguar. Demand for a roadgoing version of the XJR-9 was apparent, and so the thundering, ground-breaking XJR-15 was birthed with development by JaguarSport. Employing a heavily tuned 6-liter, 450-horsepower version of the same V-12 engine that brought Jaguar its recent victories, and with an approximately 2,300-pound curb weight, the XJR-15 possessed a race-bred power to weight ratio that outclassed all supercars of the era. However, the comparisons to the XJR-9 did not end there. The XJR-15 used a central monocoque chassis tub similar in concept to that of the Tony Southgate-designed, Le Mans-winning XJR-9, although this new tub, designed Jim Router and Dave Fullerton, differed somewhat in its dimensions. The body was designed by Peter Stevens, who was also responsible for the McLaren F1, and was constructed with a unique carbon fiber and Kevlar composite. Notably, this was the world’s first roadgoing car to use carbon fiber in the construction of its body and tub. The XJR-9 suspension was retained at all four wheels, with fabricated wishbones and horizontal pushrod-spring dampers at the front and coil springs at the rear. Four-piston AP Racing calipers mated to disc brakes housed completely within the wheels provided stopping power. After undergoing development tests through 1990, the car was officially launched in November of that year, built by JaguarSport in a specialized facility in Oxfordshire. In a production run that would last until 1992, Jaguar Sport would build 50 production examples of the XJR-15. Of these, only 27 of those would leave the factory in roadgoing specification, while the others followed directly in the lineage of the preceding XJR racecars and were built especially for the track. Serial number 008, presented here, is one of the 27 XJR-15s constructed for road use. These XJR-15s were equipped with five-speed transaxles rather than the race-tuned, six-speed Le Mans gearboxes. A preservation-quality example, chassis 008 displays a mere 83 miles at the time of cataloguing. Sold new in Japan to respected collector Miura Shoji, the car was kept in a meticulously preserved state until being acquired by an American collector in 2018. After being imported to the United States in December 2018, the car is said to have been sent to Fast Cars Limited of Redondo Beach, California for a full fluid change and general mechanical checkup. The consignor acquired the car in 2022 and, in July 2023, treated it to another complete fluid change by Fast Cars Limited. With its carbon weave structure visible even through the paint, in addition to its clear engine cover and three-piece OZ racing wheels, the exterior delights the senses and hints at the car’s astounding performance. Inside, leather racing seats cradle the driver and passenger, with hardwired headsets for easy conversation when cruising in the triple digits. The bare, black-and-silver striped carbon fiber tub is exposed throughout the cabin, with the material framing the gauges and Nardi racing steering wheel and highlighting the unique shifter mounted up against the inner door sill. As a rare, road-ready counterpart to the car that returned Jaguar to the top of the racing world, and displaying just 83 miles, this meticulously maintained XJR-15 certainly ranks among the finest available and is sure to make a treasured addition of any collection. 1991 Jaguar XJR-15 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Demand for a roadgoing version of the XJR-9 was apparent, and so the thundering, ground-breaking XJR-15 was birthed with development by JaguarSport. Employing a heavily tuned 6-liter, 450-horsepower version of the same V-12 engine that brought Jaguar its recent victories, and with an approximately 2,300-pound curb weight, the XJR-15 possessed a race-bred power to weight ratio that outclassed all supercars of the era. However, the comparisons to the XJR-9 did not end there. The XJR-15 used a central monocoque chassis tub similar in concept to that of the Tony Southgate-designed, Le Mans-winning XJR-9, although this new tub, designed Jim Router and Dave Fullerton, differed somewhat in its dimensions. The body was designed by Peter Stevens, who was also responsible for the McLaren F1, and was constructed with a unique carbon fiber and Kevlar composite. Notably, this was the world’s first roadgoing car to use carbon fiber in the construction of its body and tub. The XJR-9 suspension was retained at all four wheels, with fabricated wishbones and horizontal pushrod-spring dampers at the front and coil springs at the rear. Four-piston AP Racing calipers mated to disc brakes housed completely within the wheels provided stopping power. After undergoing development tests through 1990, the car was officially launched in November of that year, built by JaguarSport in a specialized facility in Oxfordshire. In a production run that would last until 1992, Jaguar Sport would build 50 production examples of the XJR-15. Of these, only 27 of those would leave the factory in roadgoing specification, while the others followed directly in the lineage of the preceding XJR racecars and were built especially for the track. Serial number 008, presented here, is one of the 27 XJR-15s constructed for road use. These XJR-15s were equipped with five-speed transaxles rather than the race-tuned, six-speed Le Mans gearboxes. A preservation-quality example, chassis 008 displays a mere 83 miles at the time of cataloguing. Sold new in Japan to respected collector Miura Shoji, the car was kept in a meticulously preserved state until being acquired by an American collector in 2018. After being imported to the United States in December 2018, the car is said to have been sent to Fast Cars Limited of Redondo Beach, California for a full fluid change and general mechanical checkup. The consignor acquired the car in 2022 and, in July 2023, treated it to another complete fluid change by Fast Cars Limited. With its carbon weave structure visible even through the paint, in addition to its clear engine cover and three-piece OZ racing wheels, the exterior delights the senses and hints at the car’s astounding performance. Inside, leather racing seats cradle the driver and passenger, with hardwired headsets for easy conversation when cruising in the triple digits. The bare, black-and-silver striped carbon fiber tub is exposed throughout the cabin, with the material framing the gauges and Nardi racing steering wheel and highlighting the unique shifter mounted up against the inner door sill. As a rare, road-ready counterpart to the car that returned Jaguar to the top of the racing world, and displaying just 83 miles, this meticulously maintained XJR-15 certainly ranks among the finest available and is sure to make a treasured addition of any collection.

This F40 is one of the approximate 224 U.S. F40's built between 1990-1992. This car ordered new through Wide World Ferrari (still in business today) and sold by one of the legends of a salesman Nick Saridakis. The first owner took delivery of the car in Italy and the European license plate frame is still on the car today. This car was acquired by the second owner around 1998. He acquired the car through Wide World Ferrari as well. The second owner was a very prominent member in the world finance community and one of the top ten car collectors in the world. This car was well looked after by his collection manager. This car was always serviced at each interval. Upon our acquisition we have done a cryogenic cleaning to the chassis and engine bay, a concours detail to the exterior of the car and we recovered the seats with new foam and the proper nomex material. We performed a full major service including: Belts, Cam Cover Seals, Spark Plugs, Water Pump Rebuild, all new filters, change all fluids. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an F40 that has never been publicly for sale, extremely low ownership and has been owned for a very long time by its previous custodian. 1991 Ferrari F40 GT Motor Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Today this Alfa Romeo offers handsome finishes throughout. The recent body and paint was professionally done, and the finishes have been properly maintained since the restoration was completed just three years ago. The various trim and exterior features are in excellent condition including the distinctive details for this series Alfa. The lenses, lighting, bumpers, and Alfa Romeo script are also in excellent condition contributing to the satisfying visual presentation. The body panel gaps are consistent showing good closures and tight fit, including both doors which open and shut smoothly. A set of rare and desirable period correct ERA Basket Mesh wheels are mounted with Luaffen 185/70R14 tires. The interior features very nice black bucket seats recovered with high-quality materials, accurate perimeter piping, taut fit over proper foam padding, correct woven inserts, and matching rear seating. The overall interior presents very well reflecting a high-quality restoration performed by knowledgeable Alfa Romeo experts. The door panels, various interior chrome trim, and rear side panels have a very high-quality feel to the finishes, the carpeting is in excellent condition, and the wood inserts for the dash and center console are also exceptionally nice. The dashboard is excellent, featuring clean and detailed gauges with excellent color, striking contrast and clear numeric indication. The black dash padding is also in excellent condition. A sporty black rim Alfa Romeo branded steering wheel finishes off the correctly restored interior. The center console features a desirable 5-speed manual gear selector, smaller gauges, and various toggle switches. The trunk is clean and well-maintained, finished with a newer trunk mat and a full-sized stamped steel spare tire located in the lower tub. 
Under the hood, the engine bay delivers a correct presentation reflective of original specifications and finishes that have mellowed over time. The twin-cam fuel-injected engine and engine compartment appear correct including a properly finished 1750 SPICA airbox, raw aluminum twin-cam cover, a 2023 dated battery, and various details consistent with Alfa Romeo manufacturing during this period. The undercarriage reflects a combination of correct vintage Alfa engine and gearbox castings, newer replacement parts including new mufflers, Koni shock absorbers, several rebuilt suspension components, and various new lines, hoses, and replacement rocker panels. The car starts, stops, runs, and drives very capably as evidenced in the driving video accompanying the photos in the gallery. The gearbox operates properly, the clutch takes up nicely, and the brakes bring the car down smoothly and evenly on a firm pedal. Acceleration is progressive from the SPICA 1750 engine offering a balanced feel especially notable in the improved suspension offered in these later series cars. 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce 1750 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Once described by classic Mercedes expert Roger Edwards as being one of the finest 280SLs he’d ever seen, this is a beautiful example of the German marque’s supremely stylish two-seater. Built in September 1970 and sold new to Mr. Michael L Bergman of Lyons, Colorado, it was specified with a manual gearbox and very rare limited-slip differential, plus of course its ‘Pagoda’ hard-top which accompanies the car on a purpose built stand. Mr Bergman kept the 280SL until the late 1970s, when it passed to Larry Fitzsimons – another Colorado resident. In 1988, Fitzsimons commissioned a Denver-based Mercedes specialist, Austria Motors, to rebuild the engine and, two years later, the gearbox as well. The car changed hands in 1992 and again in 1998, when it was bought by a collector and enthusiast who lived in Denver. He had the 280SL’s bodywork stripped to bare metal and resprayed in its original colour of Light Ivory. There is a photographic record of this work in the car’s extensive history file, and it shows how solid the bodywork had remained. The US-market bumper overriders were removed, European-spec headlamps were fitted, and in 2000 the Mercedes was shipped across the Atlantic when the owner moved to the UK. All of the power-sapping US emissions controls were subsequently removed from the six-cylinder engine, and the car’s paperwork confirms that the car has been fastidiously maintained since then, with no expense spared. The rear suspension rubbers were replaced at 79,000 miles, a new propshaft coupling was fitted at 81,000 miles, and at 84,000 miles it received new hoses and belts, a stainless-steel exhaust and a new brake master cylinder. New front brake discs, fuel hoses and a gearbox oil seal were installed at 91,000 miles, and in January 2024 a brand-new mohair hood was fitted at a cost of more than £4000. Now being offered for sale, this matching-numbers Mercedes 280SL Pagoda is in exceptional condition throughout and is presented with its original handbook, Becker radio and tool kit. It even still has the original stickers on the boot lid for oil level and tyre pressures, and represents a peerless blend of elegant styling and engineering excellence. 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Once described by classic Mercedes expert Roger Edwards as being one of the finest 280SLs he’d ever seen, this is a beautiful example of the German marque’s supremely stylish two-seater. Built in September 1970 and sold new to Mr. Michael L Bergman of Lyons, Colorado, it was specified with a manual gearbox and very rare limited-slip differential, plus of course its ‘Pagoda’ hard-top which accompanies the car on a purpose built stand. Mr Bergman kept the 280SL until the late 1970s, when it passed to Larry Fitzsimons – another Colorado resident. In 1988, Fitzsimons commissioned a Denver-based Mercedes specialist, Austria Motors, to rebuild the engine and, two years later, the gearbox as well. The car changed hands in 1992 and again in 1998, when it was bought by a collector and enthusiast who lived in Denver. He had the 280SL’s bodywork stripped to bare metal and resprayed in its original colour of Light Ivory. There is a photographic record of this work in the car’s extensive history file, and it shows how solid the bodywork had remained. The US-market bumper overriders were removed, European-spec headlamps were fitted, and in 2000 the Mercedes was shipped across the Atlantic when the owner moved to the UK. All of the power-sapping US emissions controls were subsequently removed from the six-cylinder engine, and the car’s paperwork confirms that the car has been fastidiously maintained since then, with no expense spared.
