- 1957 Jaguar D-Type Recreation by Lynx
The Jaguar D-Type was a sports racing car produced between 1954 and 1957 with one goal in mind: to win the Le Mans 24-hour race. It used the same straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components as the previous C-Type but employed an innovative monocoque construction and state-of-the-art aerodynamics. A fin was eventually mounted behind the driver for aerodynamic stability for the long Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans while the nose was elongated during the 1955 season for an even higher max speed. Engine displacement was originally 3.4 L, was enlarged to 3.8 L in 1957, and reduced to 3.0 L in 1958 when Le Mans rules limited engine displacements for sports racing cars. D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956, and 1957 with only 71 examples produced plus an additional 16 that were converted to road-going XKSS versions. Due to its rarity and pedigree, real D-Types are extremely scarce and demand a premium when they do hit the market. A “good” condition example sold at the Monterey R.M. Sotheby auction in August 2023 for $3,600,000, while an “excellent” condition example reached a $7,250,000 high bid at Broad Arrow Auctions in October 2022. As is often the case with unicorns like this, companies will begin producing high-end reproductions that replicate the look and feel of the original as closely as possible. Lynx Engineering is one such company. The company was founded in 1968 by engineer Guy Black and architect Roger Ludgate as a repair and restoration shop for original Jaguar C- and D-Types. In 1972, they began developing their own D-Type replica with hand-formed aluminum bodywork and mechanicals from the Jaguar E-Type. The body was a monocoque tub created by Lynx themselves with a modified E-Type subframe and both short and long-nose configurations. A total of 53 examples of the Lynx D-Type were built. This particular example, Chassis # 1E78735BW, is one such D-Type long-nose recreation built by Lynx Cars Limited. The car was apparently commissioned by former UK Jaguar club president Jerry Stampler, who used it in several vintage races before former sports car racer Herb Wetanson acquired it through Lynx some 20 years ago. The car is finished in white with blue stripes over a matching blue leather interior. It is powered by a 3.8-liter XK inline-six with triple Weber carburetors, a four-speed manual transmission, dual-circuit four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, Dunlop-style aluminum peg-drive wheels, a tail fin, an optional wraparound windshield, an aluminum tonneau cover, and four-point harnesses. One detail that sets this Lynx recreation apart from the original D-Type is the use of a wet-sump engine rather than a dry-sump engine. As it sits, this is the closest we regular enthusiasts will get to a real D-Type. Everything from the looks to the mechanicals feels right on point for a British race car of the period. Those looking for a rare machine to impress your local British cars and coffee or the lawn at any Concours will not go wrong with this Lynx. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original tool kit and a New York registration listing it as a 1967 Jaguar convertible. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint is not perfect but does not warrant any attention in that it has a very consistent look and finish throughout. Enough minor blemishes are present in such a way to to call them patina in a way that matches the ora of a race car that has seen track time. Just enough that this contributes to a sort of “real” look. The only other item worth noting is that the nose has seen some minor accident damage at some point and was repaired as is evident by the trained eye looking over this area. It should be noted that this does not appear to have been structural and that any damage was likely the result of track use, rubbing or bumping during spirited competition. The body is otherwise straight, shows beautifully and needs nothing. Glass And Trim The wraparound plastic composite windscreen, an option on the Lynx D-Type, is in good overall condition for the age. There are signs of age and the passenger bottom corner shows heavier scratching. It is otherwise clear and does not need attention. All of the trim, emblems, stickers and other period-esque features are present and reminiscent of the original. All of the lighting, bezels and rubber items are in excellent but not perfect condition. If anything there is enough aging on some items to again help it present as a genuine original - though it is not. Wheels The wheels are correct Dunlop Racing recreations and are in excellent condition, again with a bit of aging in just the right way as can be seen on the stickers, finish, and knock offs. Notable Flaws Please reference the photos for closeups of any blemishes, of which are present on each panel. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The spartan race car interior mimics the original to a very high level including gauges, wire routing, fuse boxes, steering wheel and the overall configuration and appearance. The seats show slight age as do the various painted aluminum surfaces. Which have consistent points of wear and light scratching in high use areas. Functionality And Accessories The limited number of gauges, pulls, switches and lighting are all in correct working order. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay shows well considering the level of use this example has seen. It is tidy, clean and shows to have been regularly serviced by inspecting various filters, clamps, hoses and the overall condition of various elements. There are no signs of accident damage or previous issues. The wet sump XK unit with its carefully routed spark plug wires, 3 weber carburetors, mock dry sump oil reservoir and ubiquitous exhaust manifold/headers sets off the look when the bonnet is open. Trunk Area The trunk area is limited to the period LeMans regulation: a matching spare, jack and toolkit. Underside The underside is clean overall with some light corrosion that can be seen on some suspension items but is otherwise reminiscent of a well serviced example. No obvious damage is present and overall it is flat and straight. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong, building good oil pressure even when hot. The temperature remains in the acceptable range and otherwise there is no stumbling, loss of powers, smoking or knocking of any kind. A stout engine that has recently benefited from a proper service and given a clean bill of health. The strong running condition and power delivery leads us to believe this engine is built beyond stock XK specs. Transmission The transmission functions as intended, is strong with good synchros and a good clutch that has recently received new hydraulics that is in proper working order. Brakes And Suspension The brakes and suspension were recently tended to with any items requiring attention for performance and safety addressed. No outstanding issues are present as of post-service testing Tires The tires are newly installed Dunlop Racing CR48 6.00L 16 in the front and Dunlop Racing CR48 6.50L 16 in the rear. All with 2022 Date Codes. DRIVING EXPERIENCE To honestly describe the driving impressions of a vehicle such as this would require a race track. Since this is not a road legal vehicle we cannot suggest its use or performance capability in an off track environment. However, we can say that in our brief use this car runs strong and feels extremely capable, focused and will no doubt provide an exhilarating experience for the next owner. We have to imagine that “the real thing” is not much different, and at a fraction of the price this D-Type recreation offers exceptional value - one certainly couldn’t reproduce this level of craftsmanship and accuracy today at the price offered. 1957 Jaguar D-Type Recreation by Lynx LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1976 JAGUAR XJS V12 'GROUP 44'
1976 JAGUAR XJS V12 'GROUP 44' TRANS AM - EX-BOB TULLIUS 1977 TRANS AM CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING CAR - CHASSIS 001 Despite Jaguar's huge history and success with their racing programs, Lord Stokes of British Leyland had shown no interest in getting the XJS on the track during the 1970s. But in the USA, Michael H. Dale, British Leyland's Vice President of sales, remained an enthusiastic supporter of racing as a promotional tool – and the XJS was a big hit Stateside. Even if many at the ‘head office’ didn't want to see the XJS out on the tracks, he did, and it was Dale who worked closely with Bob Tullius to have the Group 44 XJS program replace that of the E-type V12 development, with the support of the factory. This car, chassis 001 is the first XJS ever built by Tullius’ Group 44 Jaguar Team – constructed in June 1976 using a new body shell supplied by Jaguar Cars in England. The main responsibility for developing this car belonged to Brian Fuerstenau, Group 44's engineer and Latton 'Lanky' Fouchee the team's chief mechanic. ‘Tube frame’ cars were not introduced to the Trans Am rule book until 1980, so the process began with the bare metal and completely stripped factory-supplied shell. Next, the roll cage was installed with the team ensuring that it was positioned to stiffen the chassis. The suspension went through the usual creative racing modifications. To eliminate bump steer, the steering arms were bent to shorten the distance between them and the steering rack. The power steering was retained but a larger pulley was installed on the pump to compensate for the higher revving engine. Any rubber used in the suspension was replaced with solid joints. The car was also equipped with enormously heavier springs and thick roll-bars. There were also modifications made to front and rear suspension arms to improve strength and increase tire clearance. Braking came from the best that Lockheed could Supply in 1976 – huge discs and 8-piston calipers on the front. The rear used the front calipers from an E-type and Girling discs. Group 44 made the usual modifications to the 5300cc V12 engine internals and oil system – lightweight internals, dry-sump oils system, six twin-choke Webers, tubular exhaust manifold etc. Initial horsepower was approaching 500bhp and was already at the 580bhp mark before long. With power transferred through a 4-speed manual ‘box and ‘welded’ rear axle in place of a limited slip differential, the Group 44 XJS was generating over 1g of lateral acceleration and was exceeding 180mph on-track. Final touch was the beautiful and iconic Group 44 livery - in the familiar Quaker State green and white colours. The first race for the new car was in July 1976 at Watkins Glen, but with very poor weather Tullius decided to protect his gleaming white new rocket-ship and wait until the August Trans Am race at Mosport. At the Mosport event, he took pole, fastest race lap and led for over half the race. However, he discovered that when running in traffic there was insufficient ducting for the oil cooler. With the oil temperature rising rapidly he had to drop back into clean cool air. In the end, Tullius had to back off and finish 10th overall and 4th in ‘Category 1’. The next test for the car was an IMSA Camel GT '250 mile Daytona Finale' race in November '76, running in the fierce GTO class. Tullius was running fourth at the halfway point, however, he was forced to retire when the car's interior temperature became simple unbearable. The exploratory outings at Mosport and Daytona showed the car's potential, and a full season was planned for 1977 – focusing on the headline-grabbing Trans Am Championship – the first year that Group 44 had devoted all their efforts to both the Trans Am Driver and Manufacturer Championships for British Leyland. The 1977 Trans Am championship consisted of 11 races, with the XJS entered in the Category 1 class. Tullius started the season with wins at the first two races, Seattle and Westwood. But a DNF at Portland and an eighth-place finish at Nelson Ledges allowed John Bauer in a Porsche 911 to take the points lead. The fifth race of the series was a 6-hour event at Watkins Glen, which was run as part of the World Championship for Makes grid. Double points were awarded for Trans Am Class competitors due to the race length and to encourage teams to enter the event. Brian Fuerstenau was brought in to share the driving duties with Tullius. The pair qualified 1st in class, which resulted in some satisfaction for the team as the car was “detuned for reliability”. Unfortunately, his words proved prophetic as a combination of a broken wheel and electrical problems resulted in a fourth place finish. Tullius' main rival for the championship, Bauer, finished second, which allowed him to maintain his points lead. After the Glen, Group 44 returned to their early season form and the team took three wins in the remaining six races, finishing out of the top three once. In the end, Tullius won the Driver's Championship with 170 points to Bauer's 162. At the end of the 1977 season, Tullius and 001 would again take on the MSA Camel GT '250 mile Daytona Finale', again in the top GTO class. Although the car was running strongly, again a DNF denied the car Daytona success. Chassis 001 was retired as the championship winner at the end of the 1977 season, but Group 44 would continue their winning ways with their next XJS chassis in Trans Am, taking the 1978 championship too. Only a handful of years later, Tullius convinced Jaguar to go back to Le Mans with his XJR-5 IMSA GTP / Group C car – so we can thank Tullius as the instigator of the subsequent overall Jaguar Le Mans wins of 1988 and 1990. Today chassis 001 is fully restored both cosmetically and mechanically, and comes with original paperwork including multiple original SCCA log books, original leather-trimmed bucket seat and steering wheel (from the 1977 championship-winning year). Also included are current HTP papers, and a number of spare parts including wheels. Ready to use in events across the world, including Patrick Peter’s CER 2 and of course historic Trans Am events in the USA. 1976 JAGUAR XJS V12 'GROUP 44' Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The fifth race of the series was a 6-hour event at Watkins Glen, which was run as part of the World Championship for Makes grid. Double points were awarded for Trans Am Class competitors due to the race length and to encourage teams to enter the event. Brian Fuerstenau was brought in to share the driving duties with Tullius. The pair qualified 1st in class, which resulted in some satisfaction for the team as the car was “detuned for reliability”. Unfortunately, his words proved prophetic as a combination of a broken wheel and electrical problems resulted in a fourth place finish. Tullius' main rival for the championship, Bauer, finished second, which allowed him to maintain his points lead. After the Glen, Group 44 returned to their early season form and the team took three wins in the remaining six races, finishing out of the top three once. In the end, Tullius won the Driver's Championship with 170 points to Bauer's 162. At the end of the 1977 season, Tullius and 001 would again take on the MSA Camel GT '250 mile Daytona Finale', again in the top GTO class. Although the car was running strongly, again a DNF denied the car Daytona success. Chassis 001 was retired as the championship winner at the end of the 1977 season, but Group 44 would continue their winning ways with their next XJS chassis in Trans Am, taking the 1978 championship too. Only a handful of years later, Tullius convinced Jaguar to go back to Le Mans with his XJR-5 IMSA GTP / Group C car – so we can thank Tullius as the instigator of the subsequent overall Jaguar Le Mans wins of 1988 and 1990. Today chassis 001 is fully restored both cosmetically and mechanically, and comes with original paperwork including multiple original SCCA log books, original leather-trimmed bucket seat and steering wheel (from the 1977 championship-winning year). Also included are current HTP papers, and a number of spare parts including wheels. Ready to use in events across the world, including Patrick Peter’s CER 2 and of course historic Trans Am events in the USA.

- 1985 Audi Quattro Sport SWB
Mouse Motors is proud to present one of the most influential car designs in recent decades, the Audi Quattro Sport introduced four-wheel drive into the automotive mainstream. A classic homologation model, Audi made just enough of these to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship. Of the 214, the factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (roughly $80,000). The short-wheelbase Quattro Sport was a classic homologation model. Audi made just enough of these (214) to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship, which the original long-wheelbase version dominated in the early 1980s. The factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (about $80,000). The Sport Quattro offered Audi’s most powerful engine in that series, which was rated at 306 horsepower, out of a turbocharged 5-cylinder DOHC 20-valve engine. The aluminum engine and Kevlar bodywork panels were designed to be lightweight, and top speed was claimed at 155 mph. The Quattro Sport also featured the first appearance of anti-lock brakes on an Audi Quattro. With the short wheelbase and high-strung engine, driving the Quattro Sports provides a driving experience that is one to remember. Still, given the low production numbers, great motorsports history, and general sexiness of the car, it’s not at all surprising that the Quattro Sports has gained popularity over the last few years, pushing values toward the 7-figure range. Sourced from Germany in 2018, this example was then imported to the United States. With limited use from 2018-2021, a full and thorough service was completed in September of '22 totaling $20,000. Just 21 of these Quattro Sports were originally delivered in Copenhagen Blue so this presents a unique opportunity to acquire a very rare, desirable example. 1985 Audi Quattro Sport SWB Mouse Motors LLC 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 Mouse Motors is proud to present one of the most influential car designs in recent decades, the Audi Quattro Sport introduced four-wheel drive into the automotive mainstream. A classic homologation model, Audi made just enough of these to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship. Of the 214, the factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (roughly $80,000). The short-wheelbase Quattro Sport was a classic homologation model. Audi made just enough of these (214) to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship, which the original long-wheelbase version dominated in the early 1980s. The factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (about $80,000). The Sport Quattro offered Audi’s most powerful engine in that series, which was rated at 306 horsepower, out of a turbocharged 5-cylinder DOHC 20-valve engine. The aluminum engine and Kevlar bodywork panels were designed to be lightweight, and top speed was claimed at 155 mph. The Quattro Sport also featured the first appearance of anti-lock brakes on an Audi Quattro. With the short wheelbase and high-strung engine, driving the Quattro Sports provides a driving experience that is one to remember. Still, given the low production numbers, great motorsports history, and general sexiness of the car, it’s not at all surprising that the Quattro Sports has gained popularity over the last few years, pushing values toward the 7-figure range.

- 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL
The Sport Leicht portfolio by Mercedes-Benz can trace its roots directly to the zenith of sportscars, the 300 SL. The Gullwing entered production in 1954 and, with the Roadster that followed, the 300 SL platform set the mould for the following generations of SL cars. The Paul Bracq-designed “Pagoda” roofline signified the second-generation W113 platform, while the SL was reinvented again in 1971. The C107 was introduced in coupé form while the R107 was a two-seat convertible featuring a removable hardtop. Mercedes-Benz devised multiple models under the C107 and R107 umbrella, all wearing similar body styles with names set by engine displacement. The European market welcomed the 2.8-litre 280 SL and SLC as the entry level models, while options for the rest of the world were offered on a greater scale. The 560 SL topped the range, powered by a 5.6-litre V-8 engine, and built between 1986 to 1989 model years for the Australian, Japanese and US markets. The 560 SL offered here was delivered new to Florida in October 1989, where it stayed for two years until it was acquired by its next owner in Baldwin, Long Island, New York. The car left the Sindelfingen factory finished in Black over a Palomino Leather interior, the colour configuration it retains today, and was specified with automatic climate control with Thermo King air conditioning, a Becker cassette player, and a steering wheel-fitted airbag. Exported from the United States in 2009, the car is believed to have since received a replacement odometer showing in km/h. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974 Ferrari 365 BB
Delivered new to Australia in October 1974 via the Victoria-based importer WH Lowe, this beautifully presented Ferrari 365 BB was displayed at the Melbourne Motor Show early the following year. Chassis number 18159 was originally finished in Argento with a Beige interior, and the first owner was Dr John Pierce. In November 1980, Pierce sold the Ferrari to Barry Batagol, a marque enthusiast who also owned a 400 Superamerica, a 750 Monza and a 512 BB. His wife Cheryl subsequently drove the 365 BB in a Ferrari class at an Alfa Romeo Owners Club sprint at Winton Raceway in Victoria, and she not only won the Lance Dixon Trophy for the fastest Ferrari, but also the CF Barnes Trophy for being the fastest lady driver on the day. In spring 1981, the pinion shaft broke in the original transaxle, a common fault with early Boxers, so Ferrari supplied a replacement unit from a 512. He subsequently sold the original unit to New Zealand, and the history file includes a number of letters regarding the replacement and sale. Batagol offered the Ferrari for sale in October 1986, by which time it had covered 23,000 miles. It was acquired by Barry Jorgensen the following month, then sold to a UK-based owner in mid-1988. It was put into dry storage in 1989 and emerged in time to be sold by RM Sotheby’s at its Paris sale in 2014. The 365 BB was subsequently recommissioned and returned to the road, with invoices showing that it was looked after by noted marque specialists such as Bob Houghton and Cotswold Prestige Cars. More recently, it has benefitted from further restoration work that’s included a respray in its original Argento. Between 2015 and 2017, the engine was removed, cleaned and painted, a new flywheel was fitted. The suspension was also removed, inspected and rebuilt at the same time, the five-spoke Campagnolo wheels were refurbished, and the brake calipers were stripped and replated. In Summer 2024 the cambelt was replaced, the carburettors were rebuilt, and ancillaries such as the starter motor and alternator were overhauled. The end result is an exceptional example of this strikingly charismatic Italian supercar, which is now being offered for sale with an extensive history file that includes the UK Service Record and the Instruction Book, as well as a complete tool kit. 1974 Ferrari 365 BB The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1962 Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spyder
First Registration 1962, Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spider Matching Numbers (Zertifikat Maserati Classiche) Paintwork Silver „Argenta Luna“ Black Connolly Leather Interior 5-Speed Gearbox Front Disc Brakes Borrani Spoke Wheels Swiss Road Registration with „Veteran“ entry In 1957 at the Geneva Motor Show with the Maserati 3500 GT, a breathtakingly beautiful Coupé was presented to the public. Maserati wanted to challenge the Ferrari 250 GT. This “Gran Turismo” was powered by a magnificent in-line six-cylinder with twin spark ignition. This engine, which produced around 230 hp, was derived from the racing engine of the Tipo 350S and “domesticated” for road use. This version with three Weber twin carburettors has a far more reliable reputation than the later models with Lucas fuel injection. Powered in this specific way, the factory promised a top speed of 230 kilometres per hour. From the design studio Vignale came the creation of the open Spider version by Giovanni Michelotti: the 3500 GT Spider with a stunningly feminine sweep of the hips at the rear. The characteristic Maserati trident in the radiator grille underlines the potent charisma of the front with two round auxiliary headlights. When opened, the soft top disappears completely into the space provided for it behind the front seats, remaining invisible in the sight of the side lines. The interior of the Vignale Spider is trimmed in the finest Conolly leather. The dashboard is in the same colour as the exterior paintwork and on the driver’s side there are the classically stylistic five round instruments. The interior is in no way behind the exterior elegance. Between 1960 and 1964, according to some sources, only 242 or 245 Vignale Spiders were built. We are offering this Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spider in its original colour scheme “Argenta Luna”, which leaves nothing to be desired in terms of overall condition. This car comes with “Matching Numbers” and the original colour combination inside/outside according to the delivery certificate. Equipped with the 5-speed gearbox, front disc brakes and Borrani spoke rims make this Vignale Spider in the carburettor version an extremely desirable collector’s car. Included with the Maserati Classiche certificate is all documentation such as factory order and delivery details. 1962 Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spyder Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Maserati wanted to challenge the Ferrari 250 GT. This “Gran Turismo” was powered by a magnificent in-line six-cylinder with twin spark ignition. This engine, which produced around 230 hp, was derived from the racing engine of the Tipo 350S and “domesticated” for road use. This version with three Weber twin carburettors has a far more reliable reputation than the later models with Lucas fuel injection. Powered in this specific way, the factory promised a top speed of 230 kilometres per hour. From the design studio Vignale came the creation of the open Spider version by Giovanni Michelotti: the 3500 GT Spider with a stunningly feminine sweep of the hips at the rear. The characteristic Maserati trident in the radiator grille underlines the potent charisma of the front with two round auxiliary headlights. When opened, the soft top disappears completely into the space provided for it behind the front seats, remaining invisible in the sight of the side lines. The interior of the Vignale Spider is trimmed in the finest Conolly leather. The dashboard is in the same colour as the exterior paintwork and on the driver’s side there are the classically stylistic five round instruments. The interior is in no way behind the exterior elegance. Between 1960 and 1964, according to some sources, only 242 or 245 Vignale Spiders were built. We are offering this Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spider in its original colour scheme “Argenta Luna”, which leaves nothing to be desired in terms of overall condition. This car comes with “Matching Numbers” and the original colour combination inside/outside according to the delivery certificate. Equipped with the 5-speed gearbox, front disc brakes and Borrani spoke rims make this Vignale Spider in the carburettor version an extremely desirable collector’s car. Included with the Maserati Classiche certificate is all documentation such as factory order and delivery details.

An extraordinary well documented L72 C2 Corvette with extensive pedigree Previously Part of The World Renowned Ottis Chandler Collection Duntov Mark of Excellence Award Multiple NCRS Top Flight Awards Performance Verification Award Original 1967 Dealer Purchase Paperwork on File Engine pad stamping and trim tag verified by Corvette expert Al Grenning Dual Side Exhaust, Tinted Windshield, and Positraction Widely regarded to be one of the greatest sports cars of the 60's, and one of the greatest Corvettes of all time, the C2 generation or “Sting Ray” is an American icon. Introduced for the 1963 model year, the cars were an instant hit. 1965 was an important year, with the introduction of disc brakes all around for the first time and also marked the arrival of the big block engines (initially 396cid and then 427cid for 1966 and 1967). For 1966, the big block engine was available in 390hp or the top of the range 425hp engine, although early 1966 427 engines were actually rated at 450hp before being revised (on paper only) to 425hp to satisfy insurance companies and government regulators. This particular Corvette is an exceptional example. Not only is it a desirable specification, matching numbers car in its original and attractive colors, it has covered just over 30,000 miles and has been restored to NCRS award-winning standards. The car was originally sold on 19 July 1966 and was purchased at Van Praag-Chandler Inc. in Paris, Illinois on 19 May 1967 to a Gerald Mitchener, who traded his 1963 Chevrolet convertible toward the car. The included bill of sale indicates the following options: 4-speed transmission, tinted windscreen, AM/FM radio, transistor ignition, side exhaust, positraction, and L72 425hp engine. The color is also noted as being blue with blue interior. The car comes with its original Protect-O-Plate. The car was comprehensively restored (photo documentation is included) in 1990, at which time it was owned by the well-known collector and LA Times Publisher Otis Chandler. The restoration was performed to the highest standards, and indeed, the car went on to win 3 NCRS Top Flight awards in 2001-2002, as well as a Performance Verification Award, which together earned the car a Duntov Mark of Excellence Award in 2002. Judging sheets are included. The car was restored in its original colors of Laguna Blue (978) with blue vinyl interior (418BA). The engine case stamping and trim plate were both verified by Corvette expert Al Grenning. The car was subsequently owned by Marc Andreessen (founder of Netscape and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz) before being sold to a previous owner, also a resident of California. Today, the Roadster remains in exceptional condition, a testament to its careful ownership and high quality restoration, with only a couple thousand miles driven since the restoration. The body displays excellent workmanship and high quality paint and finishes throughout all components – from topside to undercarriage, while the cabin is equally nice and still suitable for showing. The indicated mileage of 32,285 is from new. The car is a pleasure to drive. The engine has a fantastic lumpy character that signals that the car means business, an impression that is underscored by the fact that the car rocks when it's revved. It is very well-tuned, with tremendous torque and power, while the exhaust note is fantastic and the car provides the inimitable big block experience that exists only in American cars. Ready for immediate display or touring, here is an exceptional opportunity for a noteworthy big block Stingray Convertible. A beautifully restored, matching-numbers, award-winning 30,000-mile example, this car has a distinctive and attractive original color combination, and is a truly exciting well-dialed car. It is complete with extensive photo documentation from the restoration, numerous awards including its Top Flight awards, judging sheets, and bill of sale from 1967. 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi
This truly immaculate 308 GTSi was delivered new in the US in 1980. The car had three owners there before being purchased by a Dutch collector in 2016. All EU import taxes were paid, but since the car ended up in a collection and has been driven sporadically since, it still retains its original US registration papers. The 308 was never restored, has an accident-free history, and has been diligently maintained. This is evident from the extensive collection of invoices that have been preserved. The timing belt was last replaced at 60,930 miles in 2013. Although there hasn't been much driving since, replacement of the timing belt due to aging is advised. The previous American owner, a former commander of the US Navy, attended many shows and exhibitions with his car, winning awards and honorable mentions, many of which were documented in photos. Apart from the pristine condition of this 308, the black/red "EU interior" leather stands out – a rather rare and exquisite combination. The original toolkit and jack are present.

- 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder by Wendler 1
THE 550 SPYDER Porsche’s first purpose-built competition model, the 550 Spyder, boasted a simple yet effective tubular chassis, torsion-bar suspension, and a patent 1,500-cubic-centimeter four-cam engine, soon to be known as the Carrera. With lightweight aluminum bodywork, the 550 tipped the scales at an utterly featherweight 550 kilograms—a little over 1,200 pounds. It was remarkably swift and nimble for its size, and rapidly became the car to beat in the under-1500-cc class of most contemporary sports car events. By the end of 1954, class victories had been achieved in no lesser events than Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, and the Carrera Panamericana, not to mention numerous successes in national-level events on both sides of the Atlantic. It was one of the great, all-conquering sports cars of its time, and cemented its legend early. Between 1953 and 1956, 90 examples of the Wendler-bodied 550 Spyder customer car were produced. Almost all of these cars enjoyed ownership by enthusiasts and teams that are still well-remembered today. Not least among these was John von Neumann, as important a name in the Porsche world in the United States as could possibly be envisioned. CHASSIS NUMBER 550-0089 One of the most notable figures in the post-war American sports car scene was an Austrian immigrant named John von Neumann. Von Neumann played a significant role in introducing Porsche and Ferrari to the West Coast, in particular the vibrant and monied Southern California market. His Los Angeles-based Competition Motors served not only as a groundbreaking dealership, but as the center for his own racing team, which fielded such luminary drivers as Ken Miles, Phil Hill, Jack McAfee, and Richie Ginther. These racing legends drove von Neumann-owned cars in numerous significant events—and won many of them. Chassis number 550-0089, the second-from-last 550 production car, was specifically built for von Neumann with Wendler coachwork finished in silver with red fender “darts.” In addition to the reinforced “high frame” chassis that had by now come into practice, a very desirable feature that provided additional rigidity, it boasted several unique features added early on, including a large oval chrome grille at the rear, two scoop-style vents atop the engine bay, and louvered vents along the rear fenders, all with the goal of providing additional cooling to the engine. These resemble those later integrated into the coachwork for the upcoming production-based successor to the 550, the 550A 1500 RS. Chassis 550-0089 was first campaigned by Ginther at Pomona in October 1956, where a very minor accident during the main race forced an early retirement. The slight damage was repaired, and the car returned to the track two weeks later at Palm Springs, finishing 3rd overall. Ginther then achieved 4th in class with the car at the Cotati Rose Festival in May 1957. Von Neumann subsequently sold the Porsche later in 1957 to racing driver Jack West, who drove it in no fewer than 20 events during the 1957 and 1958 seasons, finishing 2nd in class at Hourglass Field in San Diego in 1957, 1st in class at the Tracy Sports Car Races in 1958, 3rd at the Laguna Seca Sports Car Races in 1958, and 1st in class at the Minden Gardnerville Airport Race in October 1958. The car was then briefly taken over by Katherie “Sunnie” Baker, who drove it only once but made her ride count—she won the SCCA Ladies race at Phoenix in November 1958. By 1973 the 550 was acquired by Gary Clenn, and then in 1977 it was sold to Everett Anton Singer of Roslyn Heights, New York. In 1982 it passed to Bob Tate, then to Jo Gardener. Finally, in 1996, it was acquired by Herbert Handlbauer and brought to Germany. In 2006 the 550 was purchased for the notable Dutch Porsche collection of Albert Westerman, who shortly thereafter undertook a complete, bare-metal restoration; photographs on file depict the panels during the work, showing evidence of the original “gills” added to the fenders and indicating that this was the original sheet metal retained throughout prior renovations. Mr. Westerman enjoyed the car regularly in historic events throughout Europe, most notably at the Mille Miglia Storica in 2009. It was then acquired by a collector in Germany before passing to its present American caretaker, who maintains a distinguished collection of high-performance automobiles. In the current ownership the Porsche’s restoration has been improved with a rebuild of the rear shell to its 1956 racing configuration, for additional engine ventilation. This work was conducted by the noted Porsche specialists at Road Scholars of Durham, North Carolina, who have also mechanically maintained the car to a very high standard. The 550 has been driven reliably at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, as well as on a 10-day European tour that began at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Lake Como, then moved on to St. Moritz, Baden Baden, and finally to the Hockenheimring and the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Chassis 550-0089 retains its matching-numbers gearbox, number 10091, while the currently fitted engine number 90089 is a correct Type 547 Carrera 1500 mill that has been rebuilt to proper specifications. The bodywork has been freshly refinished in the original color scheme, returning it fully to its appearance as driven by Ginther. Of course, as a pedigreed 550 Spyder this car is eligible for any number of tours and rallies worldwide, including the Mille Miglia Storica (of which it is already a veteran), the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic, and the Goodwood Revival. It is documented with a FIVA Identity Card, as well as by a small collection of restoration photographs and a binder of additional historical documentation and references. Claiming the noteworthy ownership provenance of the influential John von Neumann, as well as a period racing record in the hands of the gifted Richie Ginther, this historically significant Porsche is ideal for both high-level exhibition and event enjoyment. Very few cars deliver the magical driving experience of the four-cam Carrera engine at speed, and this rare Spyder is certainly one of the finest to be offered in recent memory. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder by Wendler RM Sotheby's 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 550 SPYDER Porsche’s first purpose-built competition model, the 550 Spyder, boasted a simple yet effective tubular chassis, torsion-bar suspension, and a patent 1,500-cubic-centimeter four-cam engine, soon to be known as the Carrera. With lightweight aluminum bodywork, the 550 tipped the scales at an utterly featherweight 550 kilograms—a little over 1,200 pounds. It was remarkably swift and nimble for its size, and rapidly became the car to beat in the under-1500-cc class of most contemporary sports car events. By the end of 1954, class victories had been achieved in no lesser events than Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, and the Carrera Panamericana, not to mention numerous successes in national-level events on both sides of the Atlantic. It was one of the great, all-conquering sports cars of its time, and cemented its legend early. Between 1953 and 1956, 90 examples of the Wendler-bodied 550 Spyder customer car were produced. Almost all of these cars enjoyed ownership by enthusiasts and teams that are still well-remembered today. Not least among these was John von Neumann, as important a name in the Porsche world in the United States as could possibly be envisioned. CHASSIS NUMBER 550-0089 One of the most notable figures in the post-war American sports car scene was an Austrian immigrant named John von Neumann. Von Neumann played a significant role in introducing Porsche and Ferrari to the West Coast, in particular the vibrant and monied Southern California market. His Los Angeles-based Competition Motors served not only as a groundbreaking dealership, but as the center for his own racing team, which fielded such luminary drivers as Ken Miles, Phil Hill, Jack McAfee, and Richie Ginther. These racing legends drove von Neumann-owned cars in numerous significant events—and won many of them. Chassis number 550-0089, the second-from-last 550 production car, was specifically built for von Neumann with Wendler coachwork finished in silver with red fender “darts.” In addition to the reinforced “high frame” chassis that had by now come into practice, a very desirable feature that provided additional rigidity, it boasted several unique features added early on, including a large oval chrome grille at the rear, two scoop-style vents atop the engine bay, and louvered vents along the rear fenders, all with the goal of providing additional cooling to the engine. These resemble those later integrated into the coachwork for the upcoming production-based successor to the 550, the 550A 1500 RS. Chassis 550-0089 was first campaigned by Ginther at Pomona in October 1956, where a very minor accident during the main race forced an early retirement. The slight damage was repaired, and the car returned to the track two weeks later at Palm Springs, finishing 3rd overall. Ginther then achieved 4th in class with the car at the Cotati Rose Festival in May 1957. Von Neumann subsequently sold the Porsche later in 1957 to racing driver Jack West, who drove it in no fewer than 20 events during the 1957 and 1958 seasons, finishing 2nd in class at Hourglass Field in San Diego in 1957, 1st in class at the Tracy Sports Car Races in 1958, 3rd at the Laguna Seca Sports Car Races in 1958, and 1st in class at the Minden Gardnerville Airport Race in October 1958. The car was then briefly taken over by Katherie “Sunnie” Baker, who drove it only once but made her ride count—she won the SCCA Ladies race at Phoenix in November 1958. By 1973 the 550 was acquired by Gary Clenn, and then in 1977 it was sold to Everett Anton Singer of Roslyn Heights, New York. In 1982 it passed to Bob Tate, then to Jo Gardener. Finally, in 1996, it was acquired by Herbert Handlbauer and brought to Germany. In 2006 the 550 was purchased for the notable Dutch Porsche collection of Albert Westerman, who shortly thereafter undertook a complete, bare-metal restoration; photographs on file depict the panels during the work, showing evidence of the original “gills” added to the fenders and indicating that this was the original sheet metal retained throughout prior renovations. Mr. Westerman enjoyed the car regularly in historic events throughout Europe, most notably at the Mille Miglia Storica in 2009. It was then acquired by a collector in Germany before passing to its present American caretaker, who maintains a distinguished collection of high-performance automobiles. In the current ownership the Porsche’s restoration has been improved with a rebuild of the rear shell to its 1956 racing configuration, for additional engine ventilation. This work was conducted by the noted Porsche specialists at Road Scholars of Durham, North Carolina, who have also mechanically maintained the car to a very high standard. The 550 has been driven reliably at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, as well as on a 10-day European tour that began at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Lake Como, then moved on to St. Moritz, Baden Baden, and finally to the Hockenheimring and the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Chassis 550-0089 retains its matching-numbers gearbox, number 10091, while the currently fitted engine number 90089 is a correct Type 547 Carrera 1500 mill that has been rebuilt to proper specifications. The bodywork has been freshly refinished in the original color scheme, returning it fully to its appearance as driven by Ginther. Of course, as a pedigreed 550 Spyder this car is eligible for any number of tours and rallies worldwide, including the Mille Miglia Storica (of which it is already a veteran), the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic, and the Goodwood Revival. It is documented with a FIVA Identity Card, as well as by a small collection of restoration photographs and a binder of additional historical documentation and references. Claiming the noteworthy ownership provenance of the influential John von Neumann, as well as a period racing record in the hands of the gifted Richie Ginther, this historically significant Porsche is ideal for both high-level exhibition and event enjoyment. Very few cars deliver the magical driving experience of the four-cam Carrera engine at speed, and this rare Spyder is certainly one of the finest to be offered in recent memory.

- 1990-ferrari-f40-competition-conversion-by-hamann-motorsport
Few cars capture the raw spirit of 1990s GT racing quite like the legendary competizione versions of the Ferrari F40, notably the F40 LM, GT, and GTE variants. Conceived to bring Ferrari’s most extreme road car into competitive billing on the international stage, the race-tuned F40s represented the ultimate evolution of the already ferocious supercar. Developed for endurance racing during the golden age of road-based GT competition, these machines took their place on grids alongside icons such as the McLaren F1 GTR, Porsche 993 GT2, and Callaway Corvette C7R in series such as the BPR Global GT Series—the precursor to modern GT endurance championships. The factory F40 programme was led by Ferrari’s trusted competition partner Giuliano Michelotto and his renowned engineering firm. The first 19 examples were built from brand-new chassis supplied by Ferrari and converted to full LM specification. Beyond these initial factory-developed machines, several privateer teams were eager to campaign F40s in international GT racing and converted roadgoing F40s into full track weapons. While not converted by Michelotto directly, chassis number 84326 offered here is one of these fascinating privateer-developed machines—an example that went on to enjoy a genuine international competition career and later a meticulous restoration. According to a history report by Marcel Massini, chassis 84326 was completed on 1 March 1990 as a European-specification, road-going example with roll-up windows and was delivered new to a German enthusiast through Ferrari Deutschland GmbH in Wiesbaden. The first owner was a passionate devotee of the marque who regularly displayed the car at Ferrari gatherings and track events across Europe, including appearances at Mugello in 1992 and Spa‑Francorchamps in 1993. In 1994, chassis 84326 was sent to noted German tuner Richard Hamann of Hamann Motorsport in Laupheim. Having built his reputation through successful BMW tuning programs, Hamann recognised an opportunity to expand his operation into the development of Ferraris. Seeking to extract maximum performance from the F40 platform, Hamann enlisted the expertise of Swiss engineer Peter Sauber—the founder of the renowned Sauber Formula 1 team—under whose guidance the Ferrari V-8 received twin KKK turbochargers with increased boost and dual wastegates, along with a host of reinforced internals. These modifications dramatically elevated the engine’s performance, with output reportedly reaching as much as 700 horsepower. Coupled with a revised nose inspired by the F40 LM, as well as an enhanced rear wing for greater stability and upgraded brakes and suspension, the competition-modified F40 was featured on the cover of the June 1994 issue of Motor magazine, where it was praised for its sharper driving dynamics and stronger low-end power delivery. Envisioning a limited line of tuned F40s, Hamann’s conversion was far from inexpensive—reportedly costing as much as 75 per cent of a standard F40’s original sticker price, in addition to the cost of the donor car itself. Eager to demonstrate the car’s performance potential and justify its extraordinary price tag, Hamann sought to enter the car in competition. Regulatory changes ahead of the 1996 season allowed him to partner with Jörg Hartmann Motorsport and campaign chassis 84326 in the BPR Global GT Series. However, as was often the case for independent GT teams of the era, limited funding hindered both development and reliability. During the 1996 BPR season, the car retired at the Nürburgring and later recorded a 26th-place finish at Spa-Francorchamps. Chassis 84326 then passed through a succession of German enthusiasts before moving to the United Kingdom in the early 2000s. Over time the car fell into neglect and was eventually stored in a barn in the north of England, where it remained largely forgotten until 2012. That year it came to the attention of a passionate Ferrari enthusiast, who had been fortunate enough to secure an F40 when new and had long carried the regret of parting with it. The car was sent to the respected Ferrari specialists at Moto Technique Ltd of Surrey, led by experienced hand in all-things-Ferrari Kevin O’Rourke, where it became clear that years of hard racing had taken a severe toll. The suspension components were worn beyond repair, the braking system required complete replacement, and the fuel tanks were in extremely poor condition. Evidence of an electrical fire was even discovered beneath one of the tanks. At this stage the project evolved from a simple refurbishment into a comprehensive restoration carried out with an uncompromising philosophy. The car would be returned to as-new condition, while subtly benefiting from modern engineering knowledge. Michelotto Automobili supplied newly fabricated suspension assemblies, braking components, and numerous specialised parts crafted from Avional aluminium, magnesium, and titanium. The bodywork also required significant attention, as certain areas had previously been repaired in fibreglass rather than the original carbon-Kevlar composite. To restore proper weight and structural integrity, the front clamshell was completely remanufactured in the correct carbon-Kevlar construction, while other panels underwent extensive refinishing to reveal the subtle carbon weave beneath the paint—replicating the appearance seen on factory-fresh examples. The engine rebuild was entrusted to renowned engineering firm Crosthwaite & Gardiner, who carefully inspected every internal component and renewed where necessary, resulting in a fully rebuilt power unit capable of delivering its formidable performance with confidence. To enhance reliability and drivability, a multi-stage engine management system from MoTeC was integrated, providing three selectable power modes of approximately 550, 650, or 720 horsepower respectively, allowing the driver to tailor performance while preserving mechanical longevity. Every component—from suspension to fuel system to gearbox—was repeatedly assembled and removed to achieve ideal alignment and finish. The result is a car restored with extraordinary attention to detail, blending historical authenticity with carefully considered improvements. Following the completion of its restoration, the car achieved notable recognition as the cover feature of evo magazine, issue number 217. In the accompanying article, written by Richard Meaden and titled “No Retreat, No Surrender”, the publication presents a comprehensive exploration of the car’s provenance, driving dynamics, and restoration process. With its widened bodywork, towering rear wing, and ferocious twin-turbo V-8, the F40 LM represents the ultimate expression of Ferrari’s ultimate analogue supercar. This tribute to that legendary machine, restored with exceptional care and sporting genuine competition pedigree, offers collectors an opportunity to experience one of the most visceral Ferraris of the modern era. Few cars so perfectly capture the drama, sound, and spectacle of 1990s GT competition—and fewer still have been returned to life with such dedication. 1990 Ferrari F40 Competition Conversion by Hamann Motorsport RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

While not converted by Michelotto directly, chassis number 84326 offered here is one of these fascinating privateer-developed machines—an example that went on to enjoy a genuine international competition career and later a meticulous restoration. According to a history report by Marcel Massini, chassis 84326 was completed on 1 March 1990 as a European-specification, road-going example with roll-up windows and was delivered new to a German enthusiast through Ferrari Deutschland GmbH in Wiesbaden. The first owner was a passionate devotee of the marque who regularly displayed the car at Ferrari gatherings and track events across Europe, including appearances at Mugello in 1992 and Spa‑Francorchamps in 1993. In 1994, chassis 84326 was sent to noted German tuner Richard Hamann of Hamann Motorsport in Laupheim. Having built his reputation through successful BMW tuning programs, Hamann recognised an opportunity to expand his operation into the development of Ferraris. Seeking to extract maximum performance from the F40 platform, Hamann enlisted the expertise of Swiss engineer Peter Sauber—the founder of the renowned Sauber Formula 1 team—under whose guidance the Ferrari V-8 received twin KKK turbochargers with increased boost and dual wastegates, along with a host of reinforced internals. These modifications dramatically elevated the engine’s performance, with output reportedly reaching as much as 700 horsepower. Coupled with a revised nose inspired by the F40 LM, as well as an enhanced rear wing for greater stability and upgraded brakes and suspension, the competition-modified F40 was featured on the cover of the June 1994 issue of Motor magazine, where it was praised for its sharper driving dynamics and stronger low-end power delivery. Envisioning a limited line of tuned F40s, Hamann’s conversion was far from inexpensive—reportedly costing as much as 75 per cent of a standard F40’s original sticker price, in addition to the cost of the donor car itself. Eager to demonstrate the car’s performance potential and justify its extraordinary price tag, Hamann sought to enter the car in competition. Regulatory changes ahead of the 1996 season allowed him to partner with Jörg Hartmann Motorsport and campaign chassis 84326 in the BPR Global GT Series. However, as was often the case for independent GT teams of the era, limited funding hindered both development and reliability. During the 1996 BPR season, the car retired at the Nürburgring and later recorded a 26th-place finish at Spa-Francorchamps. Chassis 84326 then passed through a succession of German enthusiasts before moving to the United Kingdom in the early 2000s. Over time the car fell into neglect and was eventually stored in a barn in the north of England, where it remained largely forgotten until 2012. That year it came to the attention of a passionate Ferrari enthusiast, who had been fortunate enough to secure an F40 when new and had long carried the regret of parting with it. The car was sent to the respected Ferrari specialists at Moto Technique Ltd of Surrey, led by experienced hand in all-things-Ferrari Kevin O’Rourke, where it became clear that years of hard racing had taken a severe toll. The suspension components were worn beyond repair, the braking system required complete replacement, and the fuel tanks were in extremely poor condition. Evidence of an electrical fire was even discovered beneath one of the tanks. At this stage the project evolved from a simple refurbishment into a comprehensive restoration carried out with an uncompromising philosophy. The car would be returned to as-new condition, while subtly benefiting from modern engineering knowledge. Michelotto Automobili supplied newly fabricated suspension assemblies, braking components, and numerous specialised parts crafted from Avional aluminium, magnesium, and titanium. The bodywork also required significant attention, as certain areas had previously been repaired in fibreglass rather than the original carbon-Kevlar composite. To restore proper weight and structural integrity, the front clamshell was completely remanufactured in the correct carbon-Kevlar construction, while other panels underwent extensive refinishing to reveal the subtle carbon weave beneath the paint—replicating the appearance seen on factory-fresh examples. The engine rebuild was entrusted to renowned engineering firm Crosthwaite & Gardiner, who carefully inspected every internal component and renewed where necessary, resulting in a fully rebuilt power unit capable of delivering its formidable performance with confidence. To enhance reliability and drivability, a multi-stage engine management system from MoTeC was integrated, providing three selectable power modes of approximately 550, 650, or 720 horsepower respectively, allowing the driver to tailor performance while preserving mechanical longevity. Every component—from suspension to fuel system to gearbox—was repeatedly assembled and removed to achieve ideal alignment and finish. The result is a car restored with extraordinary attention to detail, blending historical authenticity with carefully considered improvements. Following the completion of its restoration, the car achieved notable recognition as the cover feature of evo magazine, issue number 217. In the accompanying article, written by Richard Meaden and titled “No Retreat, No Surrender”, the publication presents a comprehensive exploration of the car’s provenance, driving dynamics, and restoration process. With its widened bodywork, towering rear wing, and ferocious twin-turbo V-8, the F40 LM represents the ultimate expression of Ferrari’s ultimate analogue supercar. This tribute to that legendary machine, restored with exceptional care and sporting genuine competition pedigree, offers collectors an opportunity to experience one of the most visceral Ferraris of the modern era. Few cars so perfectly capture the drama, sound, and spectacle of 1990s GT competition—and fewer still have been returned to life with such dedication.
