- 1983-lotus-esprit-turbo
The Lotus Esprit was launched in 1976, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and immediately recognised for its sharp, wedge-shaped styling. Through the late 1970s Lotus steadily evolved the Esprit, refining suspension, engines, and build quality. In 1981 Lotus introduced a turbocharged version. Powered by Lotus 2.2-litre, 16-valve, twin-cam four-cylinder engine with a Garrett turbocharger producing 210 bhp. This propelled the car from 0-60mph in just 5.5 secs and onto a top speed of 150 MPH. The Esprit Turbo became instantly recognisable after its appearance in the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only. The Lotus Esprit Turbo offered here at Autostorico is a 1983 ‘A plate’ finished in Red Calipso with Vanilla White leather interior trim. Having covered a mere 36,808 miles this stunning example was purchased by its current owner a Lotus enthusiast in January 2021. This very original vehicle was then subject to a no expense spared mechanical and cosmetic overhaul carried out by marque specialist’s Max 500 Ltd and Allon White Sports Cars. Works included a full mechanical overhaul including removing the engine and gearbox before a comprehensive service including cam belts. An Alunox stainless and titanium exhaust manifold and waste gate fitted. A full brake and suspension overhaul followed with new shock absorbers being fitted. Finally, the car was retrimmed in its original Vanilla White leather trim and new carpets fitted. Supplied with a history file including current V5 registration document, numerous invoices and other related material. This Lotus represents a fantastic opportunity to own a stunning example of a true iconic 1980s film legend, which will certainly appreciate further over time. 1983 Lotus Esprit Turbo Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

he vision of one man, endurance as the ultimate arbiter Alejandro De Tomaso was not a constructor like the others. A former Argentine racing driver who competed in Formula One, he belonged to a generation for whom motor racing was not a marketing tool, but a deeply rooted culture. Based in Modena, at the very heart of Italy’s automotive world, he founded his marque in the early 1960s with a clear ambition : to design sports cars capable of rivaling the finest European machines, while relying on robust, rational engineering solutions. After the confidential Vallelunga and Mangusta, the strategic alliance with Ford marked a decisive turning point. It enabled De Tomaso to give birth to the Pantera, a model conceived from the outset as a true GT—equally at home on the road and ready to take on the great endurance races. A road-going GT with racing firmly in its sights Unveiled in 1970, the Pantera immediately asserted its personality. Its bodywork, penned by Tom Tjaarda for Ghia, was low, taut and almost feline, while retaining a distinctly Italian elegance. Its mid-rear engine layout set it apart from traditional GT cars and left no doubt as to its sporting ambitions. The earliest road versions, now known as pre-L models (1971–1972), are the closest to De Tomaso’s original vision. Lighter and still relatively unconstrained by American regulations, they were powered by the Ford Cleveland 351 cu in V8 producing around 330 hp, mated to a ZF five-speed manual gearbox. Capable of exceeding 250 km/h, the Pantera proved both fast and reliable—an essential quality for a car whose road use was, in reality, merely the natural extension toward the racetrack. From 1972 onward, the Pantera L (Lusso) introduced additional comfort and equipment, particularly for the American market, without betraying its sporting DNA. The rarer Pantera GTS moved even closer in appearance to the competition cars, its wider tracks and more aggressive stance clearly foreshadowing the racing versions. The move to competition: the Pantera hardens For Alejandro De Tomaso, racing was not simply a stage on which to perform, but a genuine laboratory. As early as 1971, the Pantera left the confines of the road to enter competition, soon being homologated in Group 3 and then Group 4, the premier GT category of the early 1970s. Unlike some rivals conceived from the outset as pure race cars, the Pantera was forged on the track, evolving incrementally through successive seasons and endurance events. The Group 4 Pantera At the heart of the Group 4 Panteras campaigned between 1972 and 1976 lay the Ford Cleveland 351 cu in V8, fully prepared for racing. Balanced, reinforced and optimized for endurance, it produced between 450 and 480 horsepower depending on specification. More than outright power, it was the engine’s torque availability that made the difference, particularly on fast circuits. Induction systems varied significantly according to teams and seasons. Some Group 4 Panteras favored Holley four-barrel carburetors, prized for their robustness and ease of adjustment during races, while others adopted Weber 48 IDA carburetors, offering more precise throttle response at high revs. On a handful of particularly developed cars—especially those entered in 24-hour races—a Lucas-type mechanical fuel injection system was employed to improve running consistency and sustained performance over long distances. The ZF five-speed gearbox, strengthened for competition, remained one of the cornerstones of the Pantera’s endurance reliability. Gear ratios were tailored to individual circuits, with longer ratios for fast tracks and shorter gearing for more technical layouts. The monocoque chassis was stiffened with numerous welded reinforcements, while the suspension was completely reworked with specific dampers and geometries adapted to endurance racing demands. Wider tracks significantly improved high-speed stability and corner-exit traction, allowing the Pantera to compete effectively with the Porsche Carrera RSR. Braking—vital in long-distance racing—also evolved continuously. Early large-diameter ventilated discs gave way to more durable configurations using Girling calipers, then AP Racing units, combined with optimized cooling, essential on demanding circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans. Stripped to the bare essentials and lightened to the extreme, the Group 4 Pantera weighed approximately 1,100 kg. Its aerodynamics remained relatively discreet, focusing above all on efficiency, with vented body panels to improve cooling and widened bodywork strictly compliant with period homologation regulations. The great endurance races: the Pantera against the benchmarks The Pantera made its debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1972, entered by several private teams, including Escuderia Montjuich and Société Franco-Britannic. Facing formidable opposition from Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytonas and works-supported Porsches, the Panteras encountered the full demands of the Le Mans classic. While the event was marked by several retirements, one car nevertheless reached the finish, classified 16th overall—a significant result for a model still in its learning phase. The following year, in 1973, several Group 4 Panteras again took the start at Le Mans. Run exclusively by private teams, they reflected De Tomaso’s determination, together with his partners, to persevere in endurance racing, even though race conditions and reliability issues prevented a classified finish on that occasion. This persistence nonetheless contributed to refining the cars for subsequent seasons. It was, however, at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps that the Pantera found its ideal proving ground. On this fast and demanding circuit, the Group 4 Pantera competed in the over-3-liter GT category alongside Ferrari Daytonas and Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs—direct rivals against which it could perform on almost equal terms. As early as 1972, the Pantera distinguished itself with strong class results, notably with a car driven by Herbert Müller and Cox Kocher, which finished sixth in its category, demonstrating immediate competitiveness despite the still exploratory context. In 1973, whether at Spa or during the 1000 km rounds of the European Championship, the Panteras confirmed their consistency and ability to go the distance against German and Italian competition. Entered concurrently in the World Championship for Makes and the European GT Championship, the Panteras secured several class victories and podium finishes on iconic circuits such as Monza, Zeltweg and Paul Ricard. Supported by leading technical partners—Agip, Castrol, Valvoline and Goodyear—they were entrusted to experienced drivers including Clay Regazzoni, Mike Hailwood, Mario Casoni and Hans Heyer, whose expertise played a decisive role in the cars’ performance and reliability. A legend forged by endurance Between 1972 and the late 1970s, the De Tomaso Pantera established itself as one of the most distinctive and exotic GT cars of its era. Rarely victorious overall, it built its reputation on consistency, robustness and a strong class record, standing its ground against the established benchmarks of Ferrari and Porsche. A versatile Group 4 Pantera: eligible and immediately usable Imported from the United States by its current owner in 2019, the car was entrusted to O-One, near Paris, for conversion to historic racing specification. This De Tomaso Pantera Group 4, based on a 1972 chassis, benefits from a complete and coherent preparation, designed both for historic competition and for more regular use in track days or historic rallies. Powered by a Ford Cleveland 351 V8 producing approximately 370 hp, equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and mated to a ZF five-speed manual gearbox, it delivers first-class performance while retaining excellent reliability and ease of operation. Equipped with an FIA Historic Technical Passport valid for circuit racing, hill climbs and rallies, and compliant with Group GTS 27 – Period H1, the car is immediately eligible for major European events. The chassis, adjustable suspension, limited-slip differential and Girling brakes have all been revised to provide an effective and accessible driving experience, both in race conditions and during intensive track use. Presented in very good overall condition and accompanied by a comprehensive history file, this Group 4 Pantera represents a rare opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a spectacular GT capable of combining competition, track days and rallies, without compromise between performance, driving pleasure and regulatory compliance. 1972 De Tomaso Pantera Group 4 Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1969-maserati-ghibli-4700-campana-spyder
The Maserati Ghibli Spyder is one of the rarest and most elegant classics among Italian sports cars – an open-top Gran Turismo that combines design, performance, and exclusivity at the highest level. The Ghibli was developed as a direct competitor to the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura and is one of the most beautiful GTs of its time. The Maserati Ghibli 4.7 offered here is a very rare Spyder. The coachbuilder Campana built the open Spyder version on behalf of Maserati at the time. According to the manufacturer, only 83 examples of the Ghibli Spyder with a 4.7-liter engine were produced. The immense production costs soon forced Maserati to end its collaboration with Campana. From then on, customers could only order the coupé from Maserati and, if they wished, had to have the coupé converted into a Spyder by Campana on their own behalf. This Maserati Ghibli is one of those cars and was converted into a Spyder by Campana at the customer’s request. Its characterful 4.7-liter V8 underwent a complete engine overhaul in 2013, a photo documentation of which is available. Since then, the car has been driven around 7,000 km. This gorgeous Campana Spyder has matching numbers and is in very good condition, with a FIVA Identity Card and MFK Veteran certification. In addition to the original owner’s manual, there are lots of documents, receipts, and invoices, as well as a valuation report from 2015, which certified that the car was in very good overall condition. The Maserati Ghibli Spyder is more than just an open-top sports car – it is a testament to Italian engineering and style at the height of the classic automotive era. Its rarity, elegance, and performance make it one of the most fascinating classics from the Maserati brand. 1969 Maserati Ghibli 4700 Campana Spyder Lutziger Classic Cars AG 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 The Maserati Ghibli Spyder is one of the rarest and most elegant classics among Italian sports cars – an open-top Gran Turismo that combines design, performance, and exclusivity at the highest level. The Ghibli was developed as a direct competitor to the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura and is one of the most beautiful GTs of its time. The Maserati Ghibli 4.7 offered here is a very rare Spyder. The coachbuilder Campana built the open Spyder version on behalf of Maserati at the time. According to the manufacturer, only 83 examples of the Ghibli Spyder with a 4.7-liter engine were produced. The immense production costs soon forced Maserati to end its collaboration with Campana. From then on, customers could only order the coupé from Maserati and, if they wished, had to have the coupé converted into a Spyder by Campana on their own behalf. This Maserati Ghibli is one of those cars and was converted into a Spyder by Campana at the customer’s request. Its characterful 4.7-liter V8 underwent a complete engine overhaul in 2013, a photo documentation of which is available. Since then, the car has been driven around 7,000 km. This gorgeous Campana Spyder has matching numbers and is in very good condition, with a FIVA Identity Card and MFK Veteran certification. In addition to the original owner’s manual, there are lots of documents, receipts, and invoices, as well as a valuation report from 2015, which certified that the car was in very good overall condition. The Maserati Ghibli Spyder is more than just an open-top sports car – it is a testament to Italian engineering and style at the height of the classic automotive era. Its rarity, elegance, and performance make it one of the most fascinating classics from the Maserati brand.

- 1985-ferrari-288-gto-03
The Ferrari 250 GTO was long considered the finest sports racer Maranello had ever produced. Only a very special competition car could justify the revival of such a legendary moniker as Gran Turismo Omologato. That model arrived in the 1980s, when Ferrari decided to compete under the FIA’s popular Group B regulations. The company’s concurrent Formula 1 engine and the tube frame chassis of the 308 series became the basis of a significant development programme that resulted in a new racing flagship—the 288 GTO. Following the notorious cancellation of Group B shortly thereafter, Ferrari was left with a fully developed car that had no place to compete. Fortunately for the motoring niche, the model was repositioned as a flagship road car that would redefine the day’s performance benchmarks. While its styling was based on the 308 and 328 models, the 288 GTO was clearly a cut above. GRP and carbon compound were utilised for the majority of the bodywork, while the doors, deck lid, and bonnet were formed from lightweight aluminium. The race-bred, twin-turbocharged 2.8-litre V-8 engine developed 400 horsepower and 496 Nm of torque, capable of propelling the car to 100 km/h from a standstill in a brisk 4.9 seconds, and a top speed of 305 km/h. The GTO’s interior featured Kevlar-framed bucket seats lined in leather, with optional air conditioning, electric windows, and stereo system. Other than those few extras, the GTO sacrificed nothing to performance. By the time production concluded, just 272 examples of the 288 GTO were built, and the model is now recognised as the first car in Ferrari’s halo “Big Six” hypercar portfolio. Claiming a life of modest use and fastidious upkeep through a single ownership, this beautifully presented early-production 288 GTO is a tantalising example of Ferrari’s rare 1980s hypercar. Chassis number 52727 is approximately the 18th example built, and it was specified for the European market and distributed through Sa.Mo.Car Spa of Rome. The GTO was sold new to the principle of a successful manufacturing concern, who was also a preferred Ferrari client. The owner enjoyed the Ferrari early in its life, although the car had only accrued 24,243 kilometres at the time of a November 2010 service at Autofficina Bonini Carlo. The 288 has experienced significantly less use since, with the odometer displaying 24,244 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, a gain of just one kilometre in 15 years. Most significantly, in December 2025 the GTO was factory certified with a Ferrari Classiche “Red Book” that stipulates the presence of the matching-numbers engine and gearbox/transaxle, the ultimate confirmation of authenticity. Accompanied by owner’s manuals and tool kit, and documented with the warranty booklet, service invoice, and an Italian libretto, this GTO is a remarkably pure example of Maranello’s bruising 1980s competition car. The 288 GTO is by far the rarest of Ferrari’s “Big Six” hypercar portfolio, and single-owner examples are almost never offered in public. For the ardent Ferrari collector seeking to complete a “Big Six” assemblage, chassis 52727 offers an unmatched opportunity to acquire a legend. 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Chassis #1995 GT was the second of only nine right hand drive versions of the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta imported into the UK by Col. Ronnie Hoare of Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. As one of the first examples, it was equipped with a host of competition options on a the more durable steel body, aimed at demonstrating the prowess of the car. Delivered new in 1960, #1995GT was supplied in Rosso, over a dark red leather interior, red carpets, a steel body, 3.77 rear axle ratio, Dunlop RS4 tyres and a limited slip differential. Just a handful of the RHD example received competition upgrades. The factory build sheets detail the engine was to delivered in semi-competition specification with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, 10mm lift camshafts, triple Weber 40 DCL6 carburettors with intake trumpets and cold air box, rather than an air filter box, and an Abarth competition exhaust system. The factory engine test sheet shows that it produced 252bhp when new on their dynamometer, verifying competition components in the engine. It was collected from the factory by a Mr Horning of Hampshire on behalf of its first owner, the proprietor of Sea Corner Garage, a Mr E. ’Rufus’ W. Eyre. Upon its arrival in the UK, Mr Eyre registered his first Ferrari, the short-wheelbase on the registration mark ‘RU 20’; a registration he would retain and place on each succeeding Ferrari he would own. Fascinatingly this car is the very first customer car supplied by the newly formed ‘Maranello Concessionaires’, formerly Col. Ronnie Hoare had been operating from the F. English Ford dealership in Bournemouth. Keen to impress and demonstrate their competition prowess at the time, early cars had specified luxury options ignored at build by the factory! It is understood that all preceding and subsequent SWBs were alloy bodied cars built to full 'Competizione' specification. - Early-specification lightweight chassis frame (as per all competition cars including "SEFAC Hotrod") - Early "low roof & screen" specification body with one-piece windows and curved door window frames - Comp-spec high lift cams - Comp-spec open air tray with velocity stacks - Competition brakes (no servo) with ‘comp’ front cooling ducts - Comp-spec ribbed case magnesium-alloy competition gearbox (as per all competition cars) - Comp-spec bucket seats - Roof mounted interior extract vent (as opposed to in the rear screen) - Limited-slip differential - Comp-spec long range fuel tank & external "Monza" fuel filler - Competition jacking points and “quick-lift” jack (stored in boot) - Lightweight aluminium floors & closing panels (bonnet, boot lid and doors) Scaglietti granted Ronnie Hoare’s wish for steel bodies on #1993GT (his demonstrator) and #1995GT respectively, with the steel bodies more resilient than alloy – demand for alloy outside of racing at the time seen more as a negative as it was so easy to dent! The factory ignored the Colonel’s wishes for the cars to be fitted with road going 22-gallon fuel tanks, instead, receiving long range, racing specification tanks. Surviving Maranello Concessionaires paperwork highlights their contacting of Ferrari on 25th October 1960, seeking a 'windscreen washer pump assembly for 1995GT omitted in production'! Expecting great things from his brand-new Ferrari, the first owner Mr. Eyre, had several queries regarding the hand built nature of the car. Eyre went so far as to return the car to Ferrari with the expectation the factory would attend to several panel fitment issues! Despite his complaints, Mr. Eyre would to retain 1995GT until December 1965. Commuting between his home in the New Forest and his family office in north London the car would see regular use. Past the initial return to Ferrari, his business Sea Corner Garage would carry out maintenance on the car, with instructions from Ferrari penned in the front of the user manual. Speaking with Rufus in 2019, he recalled several stories of his time with the car. A timid man, he had instructed his workshop manager to collect the car from Italy on his behalf and drive it back. All was going smoothly until Horning was pulled over by the Polizia Stradale on the motorway in northern Italy. Fearful of repercussions as the car was neither his, nor did he speak any Italian, he was relieved to find the duo on motorcycles merely wanted to see a ‘right hand drive’ Ferrari in person, before gesturing that he perhaps continue his journey with a bit more enthusiasm! Mr Eyre further highlighted a visit to London in 1961. Having driven up from his home on the south coast for a shopping trip on Bond Street, he recalled his significant grievance with the car after a day of liberal spending, paired with the equipped long-range fuel tank saw a car crammed full of bags with no place in the boot. Returning home, he promptly ordered a 250 GT Pinin Farina in Bianco Polo Park to run along side the SWB as a shopping car! Eyre sold the short-wheelbase in 1965 having covered 19,500 miles. After his ownership, #1995GT would pass through a number of subsequent owners including; Mr K. Wilson, Mr G. Sinclair, Mr Brian Classic, Mr John Broad, Mr David Mulvaney and Mr David Brook, before being purchased by Richard Colton from Maranello Concessionaires Ltd in March 1976. At the time of its purchase, it was reported to have just received an engine rebuild by Graypaul Motors Ltd, with the mileage showing 49,000 miles on the odometer. The car would remain in Colton’s custody for nearly 40 years, more than doubling the mileage, up to the time of his passing in March 2015. A very close friend of DK co-founder David Cottingham, David and Richard first met in the late 1970s. A friendship forged, without doubt, from a shared passion of the greatest Italian marque. Richard thought nothing of driving his Ferraris on the road and owned all sorts; this 250 SWB, a 275 GTB/4 and a 250 LM to name but a few. Richard used the short-wheelbase extensively on the road, attending rallies as well as gatherings all over Europe. In 1999, he said ‘I have done over 50,000 road miles with the car as well as many sprints, hillclimbs, rallies, track days etc. Now going better then ever!’ Richard took part in Ferrari's 50th anniversary celebrations in Maranello in 1997, the Coys Historic Festival in 2001 and the FOC UK Concours in 2006. By 2008, the odometer was up to 99,999 miles, after which his use of the car would decline. Richard adored the short-wheelbase. Exploiting its semi-competition nature, he made adjustments throughout his ownership to improve driveability of the car. The bumpers were removed fore and aft, primarily to aide airflow via the sleeved brake cooling ducts in the front valence, larger four-piston brake calipers were fitted in lieu of the original Dunlop units, with braided steel hoses replacing the original copper tubes. Wholly reversible, this ensured the braking was much closer to modern day standards. In 1996, Richard had the original 10mm lift cams replaced with milder 9.5mm units, affording him more low-down torque and a smoother power delivery. Larger wheels and tyres were fitted and the arches flared to accommodate them. Much like the original owner Rufus Eyre, Richard Colton held a lifelong fear of the sea. In 2015, after Richard’s passing, #1995GT was sold by H & H auctions with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) as the sole beneficiary of the sale. Having known and serviced the car for many years, DK Engineering acquired the car and soon after sold to a long-standing friend and client. Ahead of delivery DK carried out a comprehensive mechanical overhaul of the car including an engine rebuild with the new owner enviably continue to use the car as Richard had done for so many years. In 2019 a decision was made to restore the car to its original specification and we kindly obliged. In a comprehensively documented restoration, 1995GT was stripped back to bare metal by specialists Bodylines of Northampton. Similarly the paintwork was carried out by Spraytec, known for their exacting work. Mechanical reassembly commenced at DK with much of the work having been carried out just a couple of years earlier. The interior was retrimmed by O’Rourke Coachtrimmers of Guildford in the original Rosso. The restoration was carried out in consultation with Ferrari’s Classiche department and as such, post restoration in 2024, #1995GT has been awarded Ferrari’s red book Classiche certification confirming its matching engine, gearbox and rear axle. At the time of the restoration in 2019, DK located and contacted the original owner Mr Rufus Eyre of Poole, Dorset. We remain grateful for his correspondence and assistance in completing the early history of #1995GT. In addition to his anecdotes above, Rufus kindly offered the registration mark ‘RU 20’ be returned to #1995GT, that he had retained since 1965. After his passing in 2020, we were fortunate to welcome Mr Eyre’s righthand lady, to see the car after the restoration was completed and as it would have presented when new. She brought with her the original leather wallet and bookpack for the short-wheelbase that Mr Eyre had retained from his first Ferrari for 54 years! Thanks to the generosity of Richard Colton, the proceeds of the 2015 H&H auction saw £8.5m left to the RNLI. This phenomenal contribution has funded two new Shannon class lifeboats; the Richard and Caroline Colton & the Richard and Caroline Colton II. The former has been in service in Hastings since 2019 and the latter was delivered in March 2024 to his home in the Vale of Glamorgan. Today we are delighted to be able to offer #1995GT for sale. A short-wheelbase with incredible provenance, a bookend to Ferraris in the UK and one of just 11 RHD steel examples built and with rare competition features from new. DK are fortunate to have been involved with this example for over 35 years and are proud to be able to offer it today. 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB D.K.

It was collected from the factory by a Mr Horning of Hampshire on behalf of its first owner, the proprietor of Sea Corner Garage, a Mr E. ’Rufus’ W. Eyre. Upon its arrival in the UK, Mr Eyre registered his first Ferrari, the short-wheelbase on the registration mark ‘RU 20’; a registration he would retain and place on each succeeding Ferrari he would own. Fascinatingly this car is the very first customer car supplied by the newly formed ‘Maranello Concessionaires’, formerly Col. Ronnie Hoare had been operating from the F. English Ford dealership in Bournemouth. Keen to impress and demonstrate their competition prowess at the time, early cars had specified luxury options ignored at build by the factory! It is understood that all preceding and subsequent SWBs were alloy bodied cars built to full 'Competizione' specification. - Early-specification lightweight chassis frame (as per all competition cars including "SEFAC Hotrod") - Early "low roof & screen" specification body with one-piece windows and curved door window frames - Comp-spec high lift cams - Comp-spec open air tray with velocity stacks - Competition brakes (no servo) with ‘comp’ front cooling ducts - Comp-spec ribbed case magnesium-alloy competition gearbox (as per all competition cars) - Comp-spec bucket seats - Roof mounted interior extract vent (as opposed to in the rear screen) - Limited-slip differential - Comp-spec long range fuel tank & external "Monza" fuel filler - Competition jacking points and “quick-lift” jack (stored in boot) - Lightweight aluminium floors & closing panels (bonnet, boot lid and doors) Scaglietti granted Ronnie Hoare’s wish for steel bodies on #1993GT (his demonstrator) and #1995GT respectively, with the steel bodies more resilient than alloy – demand for alloy outside of racing at the time seen more as a negative as it was so easy to dent! The factory ignored the Colonel’s wishes for the cars to be fitted with road going 22-gallon fuel tanks, instead, receiving long range, racing specification tanks. Surviving Maranello Concessionaires paperwork highlights their contacting of Ferrari on 25th October 1960, seeking a 'windscreen washer pump assembly for 1995GT omitted in production'! Expecting great things from his brand-new Ferrari, the first owner Mr. Eyre, had several queries regarding the hand built nature of the car. Eyre went so far as to return the car to Ferrari with the expectation the factory would attend to several panel fitment issues! Despite his complaints, Mr. Eyre would to retain 1995GT until December 1965. Commuting between his home in the New Forest and his family office in north London the car would see regular use. Past the initial return to Ferrari, his business Sea Corner Garage would carry out maintenance on the car, with instructions from Ferrari penned in the front of the user manual. Speaking with Rufus in 2019, he recalled several stories of his time with the car. A timid man, he had instructed his workshop manager to collect the car from Italy on his behalf and drive it back. All was going smoothly until Horning was pulled over by the Polizia Stradale on the motorway in northern Italy. Fearful of repercussions as the car was neither his, nor did he speak any Italian, he was relieved to find the duo on motorcycles merely wanted to see a ‘right hand drive’ Ferrari in person, before gesturing that he perhaps continue his journey with a bit more enthusiasm! Mr Eyre further highlighted a visit to London in 1961. Having driven up from his home on the south coast for a shopping trip on Bond Street, he recalled his significant grievance with the car after a day of liberal spending, paired with the equipped long-range fuel tank saw a car crammed full of bags with no place in the boot. Returning home, he promptly ordered a 250 GT Pinin Farina in Bianco Polo Park to run along side the SWB as a shopping car! Eyre sold the short-wheelbase in 1965 having covered 19,500 miles. After his ownership, #1995GT would pass through a number of subsequent owners including; Mr K. Wilson, Mr G. Sinclair, Mr Brian Classic, Mr John Broad, Mr David Mulvaney and Mr David Brook, before being purchased by Richard Colton from Maranello Concessionaires Ltd in March 1976. At the time of its purchase, it was reported to have just received an engine rebuild by Graypaul Motors Ltd, with the mileage showing 49,000 miles on the odometer. The car would remain in Colton’s custody for nearly 40 years, more than doubling the mileage, up to the time of his passing in March 2015. A very close friend of DK co-founder David Cottingham, David and Richard first met in the late 1970s. A friendship forged, without doubt, from a shared passion of the greatest Italian marque. Richard thought nothing of driving his Ferraris on the road and owned all sorts; this 250 SWB, a 275 GTB/4 and a 250 LM to name but a few. Richard used the short-wheelbase extensively on the road, attending rallies as well as gatherings all over Europe. In 1999, he said ‘I have done over 50,000 road miles with the car as well as many sprints, hillclimbs, rallies, track days etc. Now going better then ever!’ Richard took part in Ferrari's 50th anniversary celebrations in Maranello in 1997, the Coys Historic Festival in 2001 and the FOC UK Concours in 2006. By 2008, the odometer was up to 99,999 miles, after which his use of the car would decline. Richard adored the short-wheelbase. Exploiting its semi-competition nature, he made adjustments throughout his ownership to improve driveability of the car. The bumpers were removed fore and aft, primarily to aide airflow via the sleeved brake cooling ducts in the front valence, larger four-piston brake calipers were fitted in lieu of the original Dunlop units, with braided steel hoses replacing the original copper tubes. Wholly reversible, this ensured the braking was much closer to modern day standards. In 1996, Richard had the original 10mm lift cams replaced with milder 9.5mm units, affording him more low-down torque and a smoother power delivery. Larger wheels and tyres were fitted and the arches flared to accommodate them. Much like the original owner Rufus Eyre, Richard Colton held a lifelong fear of the sea. In 2015, after Richard’s passing, #1995GT was sold by H & H auctions with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) as the sole beneficiary of the sale. Having known and serviced the car for many years, DK Engineering acquired the car and soon after sold to a long-standing friend and client. Ahead of delivery DK carried out a comprehensive mechanical overhaul of the car including an engine rebuild with the new owner enviably continue to use the car as Richard had done for so many years. In 2019 a decision was made to restore the car to its original specification and we kindly obliged. In a comprehensively documented restoration, 1995GT was stripped back to bare metal by specialists Bodylines of Northampton. Similarly the paintwork was carried out by Spraytec, known for their exacting work. Mechanical reassembly commenced at DK with much of the work having been carried out just a couple of years earlier. The interior was retrimmed by O’Rourke Coachtrimmers of Guildford in the original Rosso. The restoration was carried out in consultation with Ferrari’s Classiche department and as such, post restoration in 2024, #1995GT has been awarded Ferrari’s red book Classiche certification confirming its matching engine, gearbox and rear axle. At the time of the restoration in 2019, DK located and contacted the original owner Mr Rufus Eyre of Poole, Dorset. We remain grateful for his correspondence and assistance in completing the early history of #1995GT. In addition to his anecdotes above, Rufus kindly offered the registration mark ‘RU 20’ be returned to #1995GT, that he had retained since 1965. After his passing in 2020, we were fortunate to welcome Mr Eyre’s righthand lady, to see the car after the restoration was completed and as it would have presented when new. She brought with her the original leather wallet and bookpack for the short-wheelbase that Mr Eyre had retained from his first Ferrari for 54 years! Thanks to the generosity of Richard Colton, the proceeds of the 2015 H&H auction saw £8.5m left to the RNLI. This phenomenal contribution has funded two new Shannon class lifeboats; the Richard and Caroline Colton & the Richard and Caroline Colton II. The former has been in service in Hastings since 2019 and the latter was delivered in March 2024 to his home in the Vale of Glamorgan. Today we are delighted to be able to offer #1995GT for sale. A short-wheelbase with incredible provenance, a bookend to Ferraris in the UK and one of just 11 RHD steel examples built and with rare competition features from new. DK are fortunate to have been involved with this example for over 35 years and are proud to be able to offer it today. Other Cars from D.K.

- 1989-ferrari-f40-5
Ferrari's 201 mph F40 is the definitive supercar and has a formidable reputation alongside the 250 GTO as possibly the best road Ferrari built to date. With the F40, Pininfarina produced an era-defining creation, one that even today is instantly recognisable by old and young enthusiasts alike. F40's were closely derived from the experimental GTO Evoluzione and the road-going 288 GTO (that the F40 replaced). The design features a tubular steel chassis with bonded composite inserts, most notably around the sills and floor pan, The 2,936 cc motor produces approximately 500 bhp at 7,000 rpm with the help of two water-cooled IHI turbochargers running 1.1 bar of boost. At 1,202 kg, the F40 had, and still has, a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio. Shatteringly fast by any comparison (especially for 1988), the F40 can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and hit 201 mph flat out making it the first production car to surpass this mystical boundary. Completed at the factory in January 1989, this example is one of the 7-series chassis cars completed that benefit from a number of key differences removed over the span of production. Naturally as a 7-series production example, this early F40 is both non-cat and non-adjust, which are considered to be the more pure, more raw variant of the esteemed model. Corroborating with the very early build date are several characteristics which are indicative of an early ‘non-cat, non-adjust’ car. These include the bare aluminium intercoolers, and the different construction and finishing of carbon Kevlar components such as the more rudimentary surface undeath the front clam, which draws the eyes to the unique way in which the NACA ducts are affixed to its underside; a true reflection of how these early cars were built to be as minimal, basic and as lightweight as possible. Under the front clam, the front brake cooling ducts and their flanges are also visible, and the manner they join to the clam is again different to later cars. The front wheel well is of the split, two-piece design, seen only on a handful of the earliest examples. Similarly, this example features non-adjustable suspension, introduced as an option on the later produced cars. The interior also sees alternative soft fabric seats witnessed previously on other early examples by DK. The 74th example completed, this example was completed at the factory on 27th January 1989, already having been earmarked by Ferrari themselves for the upcoming Geneva International Motorshow. The F40 was delivered ahead of this to official importer IFS Ferrari Suisse SA in February. As corroborated by noted Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, this example then sat alongside Ferrari’s latest and greatest offering, the brand new Mondial T at the 59th Geneva Motorshow in March 1989. 9th December 1988 Factory build start date 27th January 1989 Factory completion date February 1989 Delivered new to official importer IFS Ferrari Suisse SA 9th March 1989 Displayed on the Ferrari stand during the 59th Geneva International Motor Show, upgraded to sliding windows for the show 9th May 1990 Road registered in the name of Graber Automobile of Wichtrach With the Pirelli P-Zero having been developed as the first road-going bespoke compound tyre for the F40, it was this option-tyre that was selected for its presence at Geneva. The P-Zero name had been introduced five years earlier with the Delta S4, but as a semi-slick on a homologation production run. P-Zeros at the time had a slightly different sidewall to those available today. It is worth noting that the car recieved sliding windows for the show, to be returned to specification as per the original build sheets after the show. It would not receive road registration until the 9th of May 1990 with its warranty booklet issued in the name of Graber Automobile of Wichtrach. The car was sold the following year to close friend of Graber Automobile, Fridolin Broder of Liechtenstein who was for a short period, the official importer into the country. Its next owner, Mr Höflinghoff-Hess of Germany retained the car for a number of years, eventually advertising the car in German-magazine Auto, Motor & Sport in July of 1998 with just 875 kms. The F40 was snapped up by Bernhard Dransmann of Osnabrück later the same month and he would retain the car for just over two years. Dransmann would sell the car to its most recent custodian in September of 2000. Over the past 25 years, this F40 has been cared for by just one custodian. Today this example has covered just 12,500 kilometres. All of the early details which set this car apart remain true today, including the original soft-fabric seats (although an additional retrimmed set will be supplied), bare aluminium intercoolers, split wheel well, unpainted lower sills and largely exposed engine bay weave. This remarkable F40 today presents superbly at our showrooms outside London. With yellow in-filled tyres as a modern nod to how it was presented at the Geneva Motor Show just shy of 36 years ago, this F40 would be a standout addition to any collection. Today this F40 is accompanied by its original book pack and wallet, spare key and tools and whilst serviced prior to arrival, this example will pass through our workshops once more ahead of sale. 1989 Ferrari F40 D.K.

A coupé like a bespoke suit made of sheet metal If any car deserves the term "well-tempered ," it's this 1977 280 SLC. It looks almost like a freshly ironed favorite Sunday shirt: 61,000 verifiable kilometers, evident upon closer inspection of its many details. The car presents itself in a condition that truly deserves the rare attribute of "unspoiled substance"—free of any signs of modifications, free of cosmetic white lies, and with a complete service history. The sheet metal is perfectly straight, the panel gaps – measured back then without lasers, but already astonishingly precise straight off the assembly line – could serve as a benchmark. Inside, there's that refined Mercedes atmosphere that contributed to the quiet cultivation of German craftsmanship in the 1970s: wood veneer without any off-gassing, upholstery without any signs of sagging, carpets without the usual faded sun wear. An interior that isn't "old," but simply good . Technology & Heartbeat Beneath the elongated hood lies the tried-and-tested M110 inline six-cylinder engine – the very engine that can almost be considered a monument today. Anyone who starts it immediately notices the feedback from the engine compartment. The 185 hp doesn't seem spectacular, but it's powerful, honest, and reliable despite its high-revving sports engine character. This is how Mercedes understood performance back then: without drama, with a broad, usable rev range, effortlessly, and with a soundscape more reminiscent of a well-maintained clockwork mechanism than combustion. The complete service history guarantees that all the usual suspects – timing chain tensioner, valve clearance, fuel injection system – haven't fallen into a state of romantic neglect, but have received regular attention. In short: technically, it's a car you don't have to pray about before starting in the morning. Brief driving report – Coupé in largely preserved condition Activating the turn signal (with that bone-dry precision that modern vehicles can only emulate in software) and pulling away, the SLC immediately demonstrates how much comfort can be salvaged from a time when chassis were still tuned by people who actually drove cars. The car glides, but doesn't float; the suspension is smooth yet firm – and it conveys a road impression like that projected onto tracing paper: clear, not hectic, but honest. The M110 engine begins its work quietly, building up a refined surge of power from mid-range revs that transforms the coupé into a long-distance cruiser. Not a sports car in the modern sense, but a vehicle that calmly wraps every kilometer in a sonorous, pleasing sound. The steering – power-assisted, but not overly sensitive – serves as a reminder that you're driving a real car, not a smartphone on wheels. At 100 km/h, the car handles like it's on rails; at 140 km/h, like a slightly faster rail; beyond that, like a rail that's fully aware of its manufacturer's solidity. Noise? Mainly the wind, politely asking if it may join in. Conclusion This 280 SLC isn't a classic car you have to own because it's rare. You want to own it because it's good. An honest, well-maintained, and technically remarkably modern representative of Mercedes-Benz's great coupé heritage – with charm, character, and that understated elegance that nowadays has to be expensively simulated. A vehicle that quietly says, "Sit down, I'll do it," as it starts moving.
