A genuine Mk2 RS2000 Escort from long term ownership, superbly prepared to a 'Group 4' specification and offered at a very attractive guide. The Mk1 Escort RS2000 had proven to be a huge hit, especially in the UK and showed the potential of the idea, so Ford took the Mk2 RS2000 up market, positioning it as the performance car every young professional needed. A new deformable polyurethane nose transformed its look and gave it a distinctive, more glamorous, identity but it was practical as well, reducing drag from a CD of 0.444 to 0.386. Announced at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show, the RS2000 became the best-selling RS Escort ever made, with over 23,000 being produced at Ford's Saarlouis plant in Germany before production ceased in July 1980. On offer here is a genuine1979 Ford Escort RS2000 which spent its early years on the road before being purchased by its current owner in 2005, with the intention of recreating a fully prepared 'Group 4' RS2000. Maylum Motorsports of Kent were tasked with building the car to our vendor's specification and naturally the Ford was fully stripped and the appropriate body panels were replaced with X-Pack panels from Ex-Pressed Panels of Keighley. It was fitted with an Atlas rear axle and a limited-slip 'motorsport' differential with 4:6 crown wheel and pinion, 'Group 4' half shafts, 'Group 4' hubs front and rear with 4-pot callipers accompanied by mechanical and hydraulic handbrake and discs. Braided brake and fuel lines have been fitted internally throughout with a bias pedal box and dash mounted brake balance adjustment along with front and rear coil-over suspension which have adjustable TCA and adjustable compression struts to the front and four link and a panhandle rod kit to the rear. Motivation is provided by a 2-litre Ford Zetec with a Rick Wood-built head, Wossner pistons, steel rods, and a 'Motorsport' crank, fuelled by 45mm tapered Jenvey throttle bodies and managed by an Omex 600ECU. The engine is dry-sumped (Titan) with a 2.5-gallon boot-mounted oil tank and is fitted with a steel flywheel, HD clutch, hydraulic clutch cylinder and an RS2000 aluminium bellhousing. The engine was run in and set up on a dyno by Rick Wood, producing a documented 296bhp @ 6,400rpm, however the camshafts were designed to produce peak power at 7,500rpm so there is more scope yet. The gearbox is a Type 9 5-speed with Quaife straight-cut internals coupled to the rear axle with a Rally Design one-piece prop. Other specification details include a 'Group 4' 8mm ally sump guard, 12-gallon ally fuel tank with separate swirl pot and primary and secondary fuel pumps with an inline fuel filter, electric power steering, a Varley 'red top' battery and an Armtech hybrid battery isolator. The cockpit is a basic competition car but is well prepared with checker-plate floors, internal fuses, Sparco circuit race bucket seats with roll-cage mounted 5-point TRS harnesses and a Lifeline 3-litre plumbed-in fire extinguisher. Now finished in Signal Yellow with 'Blue Oval' graphics, the RS looks 'the business' sitting on X5 13" Minilites with 205 x 60 x 13 road tyres. On offer from 15 years ownership, this project has obviously been a 'labour of love' and the fit and finish are exceptional.

To fully appreciate the Lamborghini Countach, one must look back to its origins in the mid-1970s, when “sports car” meant an MG or a Triumph, and the term “supercar” had only recently been coined for this car’s predecessor, the Miura. Doors usually opened only one way, outward, and bodies were still curvy, without sharp angles or wedge shapes. Engines were still usually carried in the front. Into this world came Marcello Gandini’s design, aptly named after a vulgar Italian expression of astonishment, “Countach!” To say that it broke the mold is both cliché and an understatement: This is a car that obliterated the mold. Incredibly low, flat, and angular in the best of ways, it resembled most other manufacturers’ concept vehicles—yet here it was, ready for production and available soon from one’s imported car dealer, in 1974. In production 16 years, it looked as modern and fresh at the end of its run in 1990 as it had when it was introduced. The 25th Anniversary edition introduced in 1988, was admittedly, in Lamborghini’s own view and intention, the ultimate Countach, named in honor of a quarter-century of the Lamborghini marque. This Countach was restyled to the fullest extent possible without requiring re-homologation; cosmetically, ergonomically, and mechanically, the model was effectively born anew under the 25th Anniversary badge. To carry out this monumental development work, Lamborghini tasked none other than in-house talents Horacio Pagani and Sandro Munari. Pagani reformed the exterior front bumper, raking rear wing scoops, lights, rear bumper, and ground effects, while the interior benefitted from the integration of standard climate control, power windows and seats, improved bolstering, and a revised steering assembly. Munari implemented fine-tuned revisions to the suspension and maximized the tire dimensions front and back—a change that reportedly added sufficient grip to drop the car’s 0–60 mph benchmark by half a second. Overall, Pagani and Munari turned the Countach into a far more drivable, road-going machine than previous editions. Research indicates that this Countach 25th Anniversary, chassis KLA12078, was delivered new to Al Ajda Automotive, Saudi Arabia on 27 July 1990. Notably, this example further features the more powerful, carbureted iteration of the Lamborghini V-12 engine. By 2005, the car was in the possession of a Canadian owner; according to the Carfax on file, just 621 kilometers were reported at the time of purchase. Later, in 2014, this Lamborghini became a part of the Dare to Dream Collection, where it has remained since. Finished from the factory in Rosso Siviglia paint over a Champagne leather interior with Rosso piping, the odometer now shows just 2,660 kilometers (~1,653 miles) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. An invoice on file from 2014 indicates the car was cosmetically reconditioned around the time of the most recent purchase. Across the body, the paint was refinished for a consistent look and the interior leather was repaired as needed, resulting in a tidy presentation today. It is accompanied now by tools and manuals with pouch. As motoring journalist Johnny Lieberman stated in an August 2022 Motor Trend article, “The Countach is an attitude, a frame of mind, a monument to what could be and really what should be.” This is certainly a conclusion that any true enthusiast will endorse. An undeniable icon of the Italian motor industry, the Lamborghini Countach cemented the brand as a true player against rival sports car manufacturers Ferrari and Maserati by virtue of its powerful 12-cylinder engine and bold, innovative design. The 25th Anniversary edition served to both refine its attributes and amplify its outlandishness to create the ultimate iteration of this must-have supercar. 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The E-Type Jaguar debuted at the 1961 Geneva Motorshow as a replacement for the hugely successful Jaguar XK150. The new E-Type was nothing short of a revelation, with its heady blend of supercar performance, breath-taking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left its rivals reeling and customers desperate to own one. Designed by William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer, the E-Type was launched in 1961 in both fixed head coupe and roadster form with design inspiration taken from the Le-Mans winning D-Type sports racer. Built around a steel monocoque chassis with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, all-round independent suspension using coil springs and dampers to the rear with torsion bars and wishbones to the front. Brakes were Dunlop discs all round, mounted inboard to the rear alongside the differential to reduce un-sprung weight. Powered by Jaguar’s XK 3.8 litre twin-cam straight six engine, the E-Type offered breath taking performance to rival both Ferrari and Aston Martin. The 3.8 litre engine produced 265bhp and boasted a top speed of 150 mph and a 0-60 mph time of just 6.5 secs. The 1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Series 1 “FIA” Coupe (Registration No 6182RW) offered here at Autostorico is finished in Opalescent Grey metallic with Blue leather interior. Having been race prepared in 2002 by Colin Percy a respected Jaguar fan, who had previously owned Chassis no 860004 the original “CUT 7” and “EE400” the Equipe Endeavor Roadster Chassis no 850018. The car was then sold to Peter Lanfranchi and raced by him and his brother Tony. Latterly Barrie “Whizzo” Williams competed in the car at a number of circuits all over Europe including Le Mans with great successes. In 2017 the car was sold to John Young and has been raced by John and his son Jack. This car is a true front running Goodwood “Kinrara” Trophy competitor and it is eligible for many other high profile events such as the Tour Auto & Le Mans Classic. The car has been prepared and maintained regardless of cost. Supplied with a comprehensive history file including FIA/HTP papers valid until 2026, Current V5 registration document and numerous invoices. 1961 Jaguar e-type Series 1 3.8 FIA Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This exceptional example of Jaguar’s legendary supercar claims a life of modest driving use and fastidious upkeep throughout a short chain of dedicated owners, resulting in a particularly fetching XJ220. According to a production record trace certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, chassis number 220773 was completed in March 1993 and finished in the striking livery of Le Mans Blue paint over a Smoke Grey leather interior. Dispatched from the factory in June 1993, customer order number 048 (as evidenced by the doorsill embossment) was sold new to an owner in Denmark. The Jaguar later passed to a second Danish keeper, who commissioned performance upgrades by the world’s preeminent XJ220 authority Don Law Racing in the United Kingdom, including attention to the brakes and clutch. In February 2015 the Jaguar was sold to its third caretaker, the Germany-based consignor. Shortly after, SMS Engineering was tasked with conducting a refresh that included a partial rebuild of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V-6 engine, attention to the brakes, clutch, and steering components, and the installation of a new fuel tank. In 2016, the coachwork was beautifully refinished in Le Mans Blue and the driver’s seat was reupholstered, further contributing to the car’s current state of authentic presentation. This was followed by additional attention by Don Law in 2018 that principally consisted of a comprehensive rebuild of the engine to original factory specifications. It is important to note that a stamping corresponding to the JDHT certificate clarifies that this XJ220 retains its matching-numbers engine. As detailed by a file of service invoices, the Jaguar has been dutifully maintained over the last 10 years, including the installation of a custom muffler and repairs to the air conditioning system by Autohaus Konrad Schmidt in 2020; plus a full service in April 2024 that included the fitment of a new clutch and belts. This XJ220 is sure to experience a warm welcome at owners’ club gatherings and marque-focused events. Chassis number 220773 would make a wonderful addition to any sporting collection, particularly suited for enthusiasts of late-20th Century benchmark supercars. 1994 Jaguar XJ220 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The brilliant Tom Walkinshaw Racing guided the factory Jaguar programme to the greatest endurance racing prize of all by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988. At the same time, motorsport “Triple Crown”-winning engineer Tony Southgate and Ross Brawn recognised that to remain on the front foot during the ferociously competitive Group C era, the big cats needed to leave leviathan V-12s behind in favour of lighter V-6s that aided chassis balance. The resulting twin-turbocharged V-6-engined XJR-10 divided its time between the World Sportscar Championship, where it appeared in 3.5-litre guise, and the American IMSA GT series for 3,000-cc cars. In the latter, ideally suited to sprint events, the car scored six outright victories plus a further nine top three results. One of three examples built, chassis 589 was responsible for two of those wins and four podiums. Wearing Castrol colours, chassis 589 debuted in the hands of Price Cobb in the 1989 IMSA season finale at Del Mar, finishing 7th. But it was with Davy Jones at the wheel that the car enjoyed its greatest success. The American won the Portland 300 Kilometres bout in 1990 before steering the XJR-10 to the spoils at West Palm Beach the following year. For 1991, chassis 589 had gained a new Bud Light livery, which it carried through to its final race at Heartland Park, Kansas in late May. Initially enjoying a quiet retirement, the Jaguar was owned by seasoned endurance racer Dieter Bergermann in north-west Germany. It was then purchased in March 2005 by the consignor, a prolific historic racer based in the United Kingdom. Under their care, chassis 589 was restored across 2016 and 2017 (invoices available on file). A twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V-6, as sister XJR-10s used in period, was rebuilt by Advanced Engine Research of Essex in early 2019 at a cost of £34,272 and the 1991 West Palm Beach race-winning Bud Light livery recreated. A report by expert race preparer Moto Historics will be available upon request. Beautifully presented, this magnificent Group C challenger is eligible for a variety of popular historic race series and would be a welcome attendee at many high-profile demonstrations and events. 1989 Jaguar XJR-10 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

To call the restoration of this 1972 Iso Grifo a labour of love would be an understatement. It was rebuilt with a passionate attention to detail and it’s no surprise that it subsequently won its class at one of the most prestigious European concours of all. The last of only five right-hand-drive Series 2 Grifos that were fitted with the small-block 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8 engine, it came equipped with power-steering and air-conditioning. The first owner listed in the UK logbook is Robert Jull, who told the current owner that he found the Grifo too powerful for him, so he sold it to a London nightclub owner. It was later acquired by Rupert Beckwith-Smith and then DE Murray – owner of Rangers football club. After passing through two more owners, the car was bought at auction by an enthusiast who had been hooked on Grifos since the age of 10, when he saw a Series 2 in The Observer’s Book of Automobiles. The car was in his ideal specification but he decided to remove the engine so that he could tidy up the engine bay. That small act turned into a 19-year full restoration… After not being happy with an early respray in dark blue, he delved a little deeper into the bodywork before deciding to hand it over to a restoration specialist. The first step was to chemically dip the bare shell so that it could be properly assessed. Of the body panels, only the bonnet, roof and boot lid were retained – everything else was replaced. Along the way, some clever improvements were made. The front inner wings can be unbolted to allow access to the bulkhead and headlight area, drain tubes run from the grilles in front of the rear window to the wheelarch to allow water to escape, and the front chassis rails were moved slightly outwards to enable the exhaust to pass inside them. While Iso used to simply cut out a box section to fit the wider TH400 automatic transmission, on this car a new box section was fabricated in order to be safer and stronger than the factory method. The work to the chassis and body took six and a half years and four times the original budget, and in the meantime the owner was sourcing parts from around the world. Reassembling the car then took a further three and a half years. The installation of the engine-bay ancillaries was improved with a 170-amp alternator, modern air-conditioning, a new power-steering pump that did away with the separate reservoir on the wing, and a new high-flow water pump. The engine, radiator, gearbox, differential, brakes and suspension were all rebuilt, Dynamat insulation was used throughout and a completely new wiring loom fitted. The magnesium wheels were stripped and X-rayed before being ‘chromated’ to seal them and then hand-finished. Everywhere you look, there’s impressive attention to detail. A new, tidier fusebox was hidden inside the glovebox, but to retain the original look a stainless-steel replica fusebox was mounted in the correct place in the engine bay. The sound system has also been uprated with an amplifier under one seat and a subwoofer under the other. Having originally been red, the Grifo was resprayed in a different shade of the same colour while Fred Moss owned it. It was then briefly blue during the restoration process, before the owner settled on the very attractive ‘Varedo Bronze’ – a colour that perfectly shows off the Grifo’s elegant, muscular lines. The interior, meanwhile, was retrimmed in Camel Birch and features a special touch. In 2013, the owner went to Italy for an Iso event and asked marque owner Piero Rivolta and engineer Giotto Bizzarrini to sign two pieces of leather. These were then mounted on panels behind the seats, beneath plastic covers and away from damaging sunlight. The restoration was finished in 2019, just in time for the Grifo to be shown at the prestigious Chantilly Arts et Elegance event near Paris. All the hard work paid off when it won its class, which was judged by Andrea Zagato – the son-in-law of Piero Rivolta. The owner later drove the car across Europe to the old factory in Varedo, near Milan; it was apparently the first Iso to go into the factory since it had closed its doors in 1974. The Grifo was also displayed at the Italian National Automobile Museum in Turin, as part of an Iso commemorative exhibition. Now being offered for sale for the first time in more than 20 years at The Classic Motor Hub, this cherished Iso Grifo remains in immaculate concours-ready condition. There are two history files full of research, invoices and receipts, plus numerous photographs. Already a rare car, it boasts some well-considered personal touches that make it a unique example of this extremely attractive Italian-American grand tourer. MODEL HISTORY When it was introduced in 1965, the Iso Grifo featured input from some of the most famous names in motoring. The stylish bodywork was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, while the engineering side of things was entrusted to Giotto Bizzarrini – the man who had done much of the work developing the 250 GTO while he was at Ferrari. The basic recipe was to blend Italian styling and engineering with a small-block Chevrolet V8 engine. This robust powerplant was offered in two states of tune, the hottest of which produced 365bhp – enough to make the Grifo a rival to the refined GTs being produced by Ferrari and Maserati. That was an impressive boast for a company that had started out in the 1950s making motorcycle-engined microcars. The Series 2 model followed in 1970 and featured subtly revised styling, the most obvious change being to the front end, where the headlights were hidden under neat covers. The most extreme Grifo variants gained Chevrolet’s 7-litre or 7.4-litre engines, which boosted power to well over 400bhp. In 1972, late in the model’s production life, the IR-8 model was introduced with Ford V8 engines. When Car and Driver tested an early Grifo, it recorded a 0-60mph time of seven seconds. ‘As a comfortable Grand Touring machine,’ it stated, ‘the Iso is an unqualified success.’ British magazine Autocar reached a maximum speed of 161mph, making the Grifo the fastest car it had tested to that point. Only 413 Grifos of all types were built before Iso car production came to an end in December 1974, and of those only 31 were exported new to the UK. 1972 Iso Grifo Series 2 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

One of the most Significant Corvette Race Cars. Second in class, 1968 24 Hours of Daytona Don Yenko/Peter Revson GT-class lap record, 1968 Sebring 12 Hours Don Yenko/Pedro Rodriguez Winner, 1968 SCCA Midwest Division road-racing title with Don Yenko Built by Don Yenko with factory L-88 engine Restoration to1968 Sebring livery NCRS American Heritage Award; Bloomington Gold® Special Collection Incredible documents include complete history from new Driven by Don Yenko, Peter Revson and Pedro Rodriguez A thrilling piece of living American motorsports history 1 of 3 SunRay DX 1968 Corvettes Invited to 1968 LeMans 24 Hours One of the Most Unequivocally Documented Corvette Racecars 427 cid L-88 V-8 engine, single Holley 850 CFM four-barrel carburetor, 560 HP (Est.) (Factory-Rated 430) at 6,400 RPM, Muncie M-22 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, independent front suspension with A-arms and coil springs, independent rear suspension with lateral struts, radius rods, and transverse leaf spring; wheelbase: 98” Rooted in development work led since 1962 by Zora Arkus-Duntov, Chevrolet's head of Corvette engineering, the “Heavy-Duty 427” that eventually gained fame as RPO L-88 was first “field tested” with Roger Penske's Sunoco racing team at the 1966 Daytona 24 Hour Continental. When the smoke cleared, Penske's team broke the GT-class record, won class, and finished 11th overall, confirming the potency of Duntov's brainchild and immediately conferring an outstanding competition pedigree on the L-88. Next, at Sebring, one of Penske's L-88s led class from start to finish and came 9th overall – the best-ever Corvette finish until then. Next, the newly restyled C3 Corvettes were intended – in L-88 tune – to race at Daytona and Sebring in early 1968. However, the FIA-mandated 500-car production numbers of the new car could not be achieved by Chevrolet within the August-November 1967 time frame. It was not until November '67 when James Garner's high-profile American International Racing (A.I.R.) team received the first three C3 L-88 cars from Chevy. While only two of them ran at Daytona, one retiring early and the other finishing 29th, all three of Don Yenko's Sunray-DX team cars swept the GT-class podium, cementing the L-88 legend. Race-numbered 29 and co-driven by Yenko and Peter Revson, this L-88-powered 1968 Corvette finished second in class at Daytona between the class-winning Grant/Morgan Number 31 '67 L-88 and DeLorenzo/Thompson in the Number 30 '68 car. A word about Sunray-DX racing is required. For a brief but brilliant period during the late 1960s, Tulsa, Oklahoma's Sunray-DX petroleum company fielded one of America's best and most successful racing teams and one that brought its products and the L-88 Corvette to international prominence. Starting in 1965, Ralph Morrison Jr., public relations supervisor at Sunray-DX, organized a promotional campaign involving auto racing to market their products. Morrison approached Canonsburg, Pennsylvania Chevy dealer Don Yenko, the successful road-racer who enjoyed a special relationship with GM and chief Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, to launch the project. In just 16 months, Sunray-DX cars raced with great success at the pinnacle of 1960s motor racing at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Riverside, and in SCCA competition. Known as the “showroom” car to L-88 authors and historians, this particular L-88 Corvette was built up for racing when new by Don Yenko, since the factory L-88 car he ordered would not arrive in time for the 1968 Daytona 24-Hour race, so he plucked a Rally Red L-71 427/435 street hardtop convertible off his showroom floor to transform into a screaming L-88 racer. Following the Yenko/Sunray-DX 1-2-3 triumph at Daytona and this car's second-place class podium there, Yenko teamed up for the Sebring 12 Hours in this car, renumbered 2, with Pedro Rodriguez in the rising star's one and only ride in a Corvette. While the L-88s suffered suspension issues and rear-end failures, including this car, which was forced to retire on Lap 43, Yenko and Rodriguez set a blistering new GT-class lap record with it. This car was also registered as one of two anticipated Sunray-DX entries for the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, but political unrest in France and rescheduling of the race from June to September frustrated this effort. Finally, the buyout of Sunray-DX by Sunoco closed the final chapter of this highly successful American racing team. Next, Don Yenko campaigned this Corvette as his personal racer up and down the East Coast and Midwest and it carried him to the SCCA Midwest Division Title in 1968. This car was subsequently sold by Sunoco to Robert Luebbe of New York, an SCCA racer. Detailed correspondence regarding the sale of this car and a supply of spare parts from Sunoco to Luebbe is on file, dated late 1970. The Corvette remained in its 1970s racing configuration until the early 2000s when it was purchased from Frank Joyce, who campaigned the car in the '70s and '80s. The car remained in his livery until it was purchased by its current avid Corvette collectors, and then during 2008, it was restored to its “Number 2” Sebring 1968 glory. Following completion, the car has received the coveted NCRS American Heritage Award representing the Corvette racing legacy, which involves verification that this is the car and chassis number that raced in period. Not surprisingly, the original team members verified the car as well. Other recognition includes induction into the Bloomington Gold® Special Collection. As expected, this famous L-88 Corvette is very well-documented with a thick binder containing full ownership history, the NCRS Shipping Data Report, NCRS Award Verification Letter, and all original paperwork from new, including Sunray-DX correspondence, making this car one of the most historically significant and well-verified of all C3 Corvette racecars in existence and available. Truly a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This car is ready for a collection or ready for an HSR or Masters Endurance Legends event. 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Yenko L-88 Racer GT Motor Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

1st of 6 Total LeMans Production Spec Cars Built by Shelby American in Venice, CA First Factory Constructed Racecar from Shelby Extensive Racing History Ground Up Restoration done by Bill Murray Le Mans Modifications including a 37-Gallon Fuel Tank, Rack & Pinion Steering, FIA Hood Scoop, Short Trunk Lid, Side Cooling Vents, etc. Finished First Overall and First in Class at the inaugural running of the ARRC National Championships in 1964 at Riverside In 1963, AC Cars partnered with Carroll Shelby to race at Le Mans. They prepared two cars, adding magnesium wheels, larger fender flares, an FIA hood scoop, a 37-gallon fuel tank, and a “moderately tuned” 4.7-liter V8. The race was dominated that year by Ferrari, the first five places swept by the big red 250 and 330 V12s. While one of the AC/Shelby cars retired after 117 laps, the other went on to a credible seventh place finish overall, third in the GT class, and first in the 4–5-liter class. With this success, Shelby was off to the races. Six more Cobras were built to LeMans Specification. CSX2136 was the first. Arriving in America in June of 1963, it came equipped with the 37-gallon Le Mans tank, rack-and-pinion steering, side vents of the style that would appear on later production cars, a short trunk lid (hinged at the bottom), and the FIA scoop. To add to it, CSX2136 was the first Shelby American Factory Team Cobra to be built as a race car at the AC Cars Factory in England. All cars produced before this Cobra were built as streetcars, and eventually converted into racecars. This was the first factory-built racecar from Shelby At Shelby, the car was modified to compete in domestic SCCA/USRRC road racing events. It was outfitted with a high-output 289 V8, four 48 IDM Weber carburetors, a “Nassau” exhaust system, electric fuel pump, oil and differential coolers, front and rear sway bars, Konis, kidney-bean Halibrands, Goodyear racing tires, additional instrumentation, and more. Painted black, CSX2136 was completed in time to debut at a September 8 SCCA/USRRC event at Elkhart Lake. Piloted by team drivers Bob Bondurant and Dave MacDonald, it finished fourth overall and won the GT class. Interestingly, for this Road America 500, CSX2136 was co-entered by Steve McQueen/Shelby American. The car was then shipped back to Southern California and repainted Light Metallic Blue. Its next outings were also notable: a third with Lew Spencer at the wheel at the L.A. Times GT race at Riverside in October and, later that same month, a second overall at the Hawaiian GP with Dave MacDonald again in the driver’s seat. CSX2136’s last appearance as a team car was in December at the1963 Nassau Speed Week. Frank Gardner drove the roadster to a GT win in the Nassau Trophy Race, finishing seventh overall. After Nassau, CSX2136 went back to Shelby American for refurbishing. It was sold in January of 1964 to Ed Leslie who repainted the car black, nicknamed it “Snake,” and cleaned house on the SCCA circuit. During the 1964 season #2136 would still have Shelby Factory support with the goal of winning the ARRC Championship. #2136 won its class in seven of the eleven races entered, including the major victory at the 1964 ARRC finale at Riverside. Leslie also drove the Cobra to overall and GT class wins at the May 8 USRRC event at Laguna Seca. After winning the 1964 SCCA National Championship, Leslie sold the Cobra to Foster Alexander. Campaigned throughout the northwest, it continued its winning ways. Foster piloted CSX2136 into the 1965 ARRC National Championships in Daytona where it finished third both overall and in its class. Eber later sold the car to Steve Baker, who turned it over to legendary racer, Cobra historian, and restoration specialist Bill Murray. Murray meticulously brought #2136 back full circle to its original 1963 configuration as a Shelby Team racer. Upon completion in 1992, the car won a first place in the AACA’s Junior Competition Car division. The car has been carefully stored and maintained in collections ever since. Cobra number CSX2136 is incredibly rare, one of only six of these competition Cobras ever built and the first of only three Factory Team LeMans Production Cobra’s. It’s record on the racetrack, both with Team Shelby and in the hands of individual enthusiasts, is absolutely stunning and was a major contributor to the early racing dominance of the Shelby Cobra in the US. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface.

Its next outings were also notable: a third with Lew Spencer at the wheel at the L.A. Times GT race at Riverside in October and, later that same month, a second overall at the Hawaiian GP with Dave MacDonald again in the driver’s seat. CSX2136’s last appearance as a team car was in December at the1963 Nassau Speed Week. Frank Gardner drove the roadster to a GT win in the Nassau Trophy Race, finishing seventh overall. After Nassau, CSX2136 went back to Shelby American for refurbishing. It was sold in January of 1964 to Ed Leslie who repainted the car black, nicknamed it “Snake,” and cleaned house on the SCCA circuit. During the 1964 season #2136 would still have Shelby Factory support with the goal of winning the ARRC Championship. #2136 won its class in seven of the eleven races entered, including the major victory at the 1964 ARRC finale at Riverside. Leslie also drove the Cobra to overall and GT class wins at the May 8 USRRC event at Laguna Seca. After winning the 1964 SCCA National Championship, Leslie sold the Cobra to Foster Alexander. Campaigned throughout the northwest, it continued its winning ways. Foster piloted CSX2136 into the 1965 ARRC National Championships in Daytona where it finished third both overall and in its class. Eber later sold the car to Steve Baker, who turned it over to legendary racer, Cobra historian, and restoration specialist Bill Murray. Murray meticulously brought #2136 back full circle to its original 1963 configuration as a Shelby Team racer. Upon completion in 1992, the car won a first place in the AACA’s Junior Competition Car division. The car has been carefully stored and maintained in collections ever since. Cobra number CSX2136 is incredibly rare, one of only six of these competition Cobras ever built and the first of only three Factory Team LeMans Production Cobra’s. It’s record on the racetrack, both with Team Shelby and in the hands of individual enthusiasts, is absolutely stunning and was a major contributor to the early racing dominance of the Shelby Cobra in the US. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface.

Highlights of this Alfa Romeo One of 402 1600cc Junior Zagatos produced Formerly displayed at Zagato Factory Collection showroom Documented with ASI Certificate and Badge General History With a robust and colorful history building some of the most capable sports cars, Alfa Romeo has been a leader in establishing many firsts in vehicle design. Given their history and numerous years of partnership with coachbuilders, it was no surprise when Alfa Romeo and Zagato partnered to produce the 1600 Junior Zagato. Offered from 1969-1975, the car was produced by Zagato, under the direction of Ercole Spada, who had already penned numerous other significant designs including the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Alfa Romeo TZ1 and TZ2. Working at Zagato, Spadas designs had long been recognized as some of the most advanced for their time, in part because of his obsession with high-speed aerodynamics. Using the Alfa Romeo Giulia as the working platform, the mechanical systems and drivetrain were essentially identical to the Giulia. However, it was the body design and Avant Garde interior features that boldly set the Junior Zagato apart, not just from other Alfa Romeos of the day, but nearly every other car of that period. The Junior Zagato body was sharp and aggressive, with angular details that were way ahead of cars from this era. The expansive glass, spacious interior, and unusual grille treatment were like no other car on the market. The rear hatch could be raised and lowered via an electronic switch on the dash, and the clear plexiglass cover for the front of the car was both futuristic and novel for a production car. Many of these features would be emulated in modern car designs decades later, proving once again the vision behind Spada’s forward thinking. Initially powered by the 1300cc engine, in 1972 the 1600cc engine replaced it, offering more power to an already very capable car. Just 1,500 examples were constructed during the six-year production run, 402 of which were the desirable 1600cc version in the final years of production. Owner History This example is documented with period ACI paperwork and accompanied by an Automotoclub Storico Italiano identity certificate and badge. Though the earliest history has yet to be confirmed, documents accompanying the car support ownership in 1980 and 1998 when it was known to be in Napoli, Italy. During this time, this Alfa Romeo was on display at the Zagato Factory Collection, displayed at the Zagato factory showroom, and served as a support vehicle for Zagato during their participation in the Mille Miglia Storico. By 2017, Historic Vehicle Association (HVA) president, Mark Gessler, had become the owner, followed by Florida collector Leo Schigiel. Cosmetic Overview Today, this Junior Zagato presents in very attractive condition having benefited from a repaint in factory correct white over what appears to be a very well-maintained original car. The finish is glossy and smooth, applied over handsomely finished Zagato coachwork. The polished features, distinct exterior details. and various trim are all in excellent condition, particularly the exceptionally hard to find grille trim, and rare curved plastic fascia. The doors, hood, and rear hatch open and shut with confidence and panel fit is excellent, particularly for hand-built cars of this era. The emblems and Zagato coachwork badges confidently flank both the front fenders and the rear Kamm tail. The familiar painted silver Alfa Romeo slotted wheels are in excellent condition and sit perfectly under the gently flared wheel wells, leaning dynamically forward accentuating the innovative angular design. The black interior is in excellent condition throughout. The front seats have been reupholstered with correct high-quality materials, while the remaining interior appears to be original including the headliner and correct carpeting. The door panels, center console, and beautifully contoured seats present harmoniously. The low-profile bucket seats are in excellent condition with proper foam padding and bolster support. Even the unique fold down headrests are correctly covered with matching materials. The unique dashboard is in excellent condition with correct instrumentation and the 5-speed manual transmission is easily reached at the upper center console. The gauges and controls feature excellent color and contrast, and a correct Alfa Romeo badged wood-rimmed steering wheel is in place. Lifting the rear hatch, the storage area is correctly finished and properly trimmed with matching black carpet, offering space for soft weekend luggage. Additionally, the rear hatch can be electronically raised and lowered via a dash switch, allowing more effective cabin ventilation when cruising at highway speeds. The spare tire is stored underneath the carpeted rear hatch and contains a matching spare tire and jack. The forward hinging hood allows for easy access to the engine compartment. Both the engine and engine compartment are properly presented with correct finishes, original components, and correct hardware. The engine is numbered AR00536.54111, outfitted with desirable twin dual-throat Weber carburetors. The Alfa Romeo twin cam head, correct European air cleaner housing, proper hoses, factory features are all present. The underside of the car is very well sorted, including what appears to be a recently replaced exhaust system and mufflers, a pair of rear axle limit straps, newer Boge front shock absorbers, and very good visual condition to the various alloy castings for the engine and differential. The chassis and various suspension mounts show no evidence of structural compromise and there is no visible evidence of corrosion on the major components or structural chassis members. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare, interesting, and highly desirable Alfa Romeo. Italian coachwork, twin cam engine, and 5-speed manual gearbox often make for an impossibly expensive combination in this hobby. And yet the 1600 Junior Zagato can be purchased and readily serviced without mortgaging your home. The growing vintage Alfa Romeo community is quickly realizing the enjoyable traits of these unique performance cars for events, Alfa club gatherings, or simply enjoying the benefits of leisurely cruising through country roads. Included with this car The car is accompanied by the ASI badge, a factory jack, safety triangle and case, and a tool case with assorted tools. 1973 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Zagato Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

For what Ferrari’s 250 series offered in brute performance and unrepeatably stunning design, perhaps the model range’s most notable shortcoming was a rather spartan level of equipment. This was, of course, completely by design—the 250 GTO notably lacked a speedometer, hinting at its readiness for racing—while other concessions to comfort were made in preference of function over form. The mass produced 250 GTE offered a semblance of everyday usability, but it was the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso that brought the 250 platform an opulent twist; its lusso tag (or “luxury” in Italian) clearly asserted this as a generously specified car. First unveiled at the 1962 Paris Salon, the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso was the final iteration of the 250 grand tourer platform in purely road-going form and production lasted until 1964. By this point, some 350 examples had been carefully bodied by Scaglietti, with the Modena carrozzeria put in charge of executing a design imagined by Pininfarina. The Ferrari’s visual appeal gained instant praise, distinguished by its low “egg crate” grille—similar to that of its 250 GT SWB Berlinetta predecessor, also coachbuilt by Scaglietti—further to its deftly curved wings giving way to long, flowing proportions, while its fastback profile was punctuated with a svelte Kamm tail. Inside the Lusso, its interior accentuated its lavish standing, swathed in quilted leather and facing a revised dashboard arrangement. The sumptuous bodywork sat on an improved chassis with four-wheel disc brakes, coil-over shock absorbers at each corner, and a rear Watts linkage, as perfected on the legendary 250 GTO. Under the bonnet was the ultimate 3.0-litre development of the long-running short-block Colombo V-12, featuring the outside-plug ignition and single-cylinder porting that had proved so successful in the 250 Testa Rossa and California Spider. With an output of 240 horsepower and top speed of 150 mph, the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso was one of the most powerful production cars of its day. As a result of its jaw-dropping looks, the Lusso is widely regarded as one of the most elegant Ferrari designs of all time. Not often does a package boast both beauty and brawn, yet the all-round appeal of the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso earned the Ferrari a loyal following among celebrities and motorsport high-flyers of the era. Notable owners included film star and have-a-go racer Steve McQueen, ex-Formula One driver Richard “Dickie” Attwood, and rockstar Eric Clapton. The example offered here, chassis 4623, was completed by the factory on 3 August 1963, built as the 75 example of the Lusso’s 350-strong run. Originally finished in Grigio Notte over a Rosso interior, the Ferrari was destined for its home market of Italy, and was sold to its first owner, Umberto Carli of Rimini, via the dealer SIVAM of Bologna. The Lusso is noted by Ferrari marque expert, Marcel Massini, to have been serviced and maintained by Ferrari Factory Assistenza Clienti in its formative years prior to being sold to its second owner, Olga Acreman, residing in Rome, in October 1965. In 1969 the Ferrari was sold again and exported to California, after which it was noted by the Ferrari Owners Club USA to belong to a resident of North Hollywood, who kept the car for the next 44 years. In 2014, the Ferrari’s long-term keeper relinquished ownership of the car and it returned to Europe via the United Kingdom. At this point the Lusso entered a three-year restoration conducted by JD Classics of Maldon, Essex. The workshop returned the bodywork to bare metal and repainted the car in its factory-correct combination of Griggio Notte over a Rosso leather interior. The V-12 engine was rebuilt with a new timing chain, pistons, rings, main bearings, and exhaust valves, while the crankshaft was reground. Furthermore, the gearbox and differential were overhauled with new bearings, gaskets, and seals. The front and rear suspension and braking systems were inspected, cleaned, and refinished to period standards. Cosmetic restoration extended to a carpet and leather retrim, while the exterior brightwork was re-chromed. The workshop documented the process from start to finish with photos that accompany the car. Following its restoration, the consigning owner began the process of applying for Ferrari Classiche certification, which was pending at the time of cataloguing. With its matching-numbers chassis and engine, this restored Ferrari is primed for further enjoyment on the show circuit or participation in vintage tours and events. The Lusso is a quintessential blue-chip Ferrari that will complement any style of collection, and this beautifully presented example is sure to bring thrills and enjoyment to its next caretaker. 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Under the bonnet was the ultimate 3.0-litre development of the long-running short-block Colombo V-12, featuring the outside-plug ignition and single-cylinder porting that had proved so successful in the 250 Testa Rossa and California Spider. With an output of 240 horsepower and top speed of 150 mph, the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso was one of the most powerful production cars of its day. As a result of its jaw-dropping looks, the Lusso is widely regarded as one of the most elegant Ferrari designs of all time. Not often does a package boast both beauty and brawn, yet the all-round appeal of the 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso earned the Ferrari a loyal following among celebrities and motorsport high-flyers of the era. Notable owners included film star and have-a-go racer Steve McQueen, ex-Formula One driver Richard “Dickie” Attwood, and rockstar Eric Clapton. The example offered here, chassis 4623, was completed by the factory on 3 August 1963, built as the 75 example of the Lusso’s 350-strong run. Originally finished in Grigio Notte over a Rosso interior, the Ferrari was destined for its home market of Italy, and was sold to its first owner, Umberto Carli of Rimini, via the dealer SIVAM of Bologna. The Lusso is noted by Ferrari marque expert, Marcel Massini, to have been serviced and maintained by Ferrari Factory Assistenza Clienti in its formative years prior to being sold to its second owner, Olga Acreman, residing in Rome, in October 1965. In 1969 the Ferrari was sold again and exported to California, after which it was noted by the Ferrari Owners Club USA to belong to a resident of North Hollywood, who kept the car for the next 44 years. In 2014, the Ferrari’s long-term keeper relinquished ownership of the car and it returned to Europe via the United Kingdom. At this point the Lusso entered a three-year restoration conducted by JD Classics of Maldon, Essex. The workshop returned the bodywork to bare metal and repainted the car in its factory-correct combination of Griggio Notte over a Rosso leather interior. The V-12 engine was rebuilt with a new timing chain, pistons, rings, main bearings, and exhaust valves, while the crankshaft was reground. Furthermore, the gearbox and differential were overhauled with new bearings, gaskets, and seals. The front and rear suspension and braking systems were inspected, cleaned, and refinished to period standards. Cosmetic restoration extended to a carpet and leather retrim, while the exterior brightwork was re-chromed. The workshop documented the process from start to finish with photos that accompany the car. Following its restoration, the consigning owner began the process of applying for Ferrari Classiche certification, which was pending at the time of cataloguing. With its matching-numbers chassis and engine, this restored Ferrari is primed for further enjoyment on the show circuit or participation in vintage tours and events. The Lusso is a quintessential blue-chip Ferrari that will complement any style of collection, and this beautifully presented example is sure to bring thrills and enjoyment to its next caretaker.

History The genius of Colin Chapman is evident throughout his cars and the victories these cars achieved in competition. While each one is unique and innovative for the times, the Elite holds a special place in the history of Lotus. Released in 1957, the fiberglass monocoque chassis and body, rack and pinion steering, disc brakes all round (rear inboard), and sophisticated suspension design, combined to make an innovative and dynamic sports car. Despite its 1,300-pound weight, the Elite offered exceptional torsional rigidity in harmony with the attractive and novel body design. The aerodynamic bodywork resulted in a coefficient of drag of just .29, a remarkable figure, even by modern standards. The Elite also proved to be a highly successful race car, with six class wins in six years at Le Mans. A handsome moderately priced alternative to higher priced exotics with far more complex and often cumbersome mechanicals, the Elite went on to achieve notable international sales with total production just over 1,000 units before the model concluded in 1963 Restoration and Ownership History This car left the Lotus factory May 26, 1960 and was shipped to Jay Chamberlain's dealership in California. Lotus factory ledger sheets indicate this car (#1237) and its allocation to Chamberlain. According to copies of documents supplied with this car, the first owner was Walter Heronimus, Palo Alto, CA, where it was licensed with California license plate LUN 063, which is included with this car. The car was sold to the next owner, a resident of Oraville, CA in 1991, then purchased by the (believed to be third) owner in 1996. Copious handwritten notes and references for part numbers, specifications, specialized mechanical work, and mileage notations document this Lotus from the late 1990s to 2007. In 2006, the odometer indicated 68,460 miles when it was zeroed out after repair and calibration. Approximately 1000 miles have lapsed since that time. Handwritten notations on the car span more than a decade of detailed evaluations including valve lash check, rebuild for distributor advance, repair notes, mileage record, oil consumption, lengthy trip records with miles accrued, oil changes, valve clearance, and notation of engine rebuild in 2003 with 64,817 miles indicated. In addition to these detailed notations, the owner retained several records of service work performed on the car totaling exhaustive hours and significant dollars spent since his purchase. More recently, the current caretaker refinished the exterior of the car including new paint and chrome finishes as well as the interior which has been beautifully trimmed in tan leather. The most recent oil and filter change was performed in April 2023. Current Condition Today this beautifully finished numbers-matching Lotus has been properly refurbished to a very satisfying level. The exterior finishes are very nice throughout including smooth, glossy red paint with excellent coverage, surpassing factory quality when delivered new. The glass, trim, and lighting are all in excellent condition including the beautifully finished chrome features. The doors, hood, and trunk open and close confidently and the uncluttered Elite body lines exhibit excellent reflection lines, something not often found on early fiberglass bodied cars. The painted silver wire wheels are correct, though exhibit mild patina on the rim edges and spokes, finished with dual-ear chrome plated knockoffs. All four wheels are shod with Dunlop 165SR14 radial tires of appropriate size, showing ample tread and 2022 and 2023 date codes. The interior is in excellent condition having been comprehensively reupholstered with supple tan leather. Correct finishes and trim, tight contours for the seats and door panels, correct foam padding, excellent quality low pile oatmeal colored square weave carpeting, and a correct wood rimmed steering wheel with Lotus emblem completes the interior to a very high standard. Instruments and switches are properly detailed with clarity on the faces and glass and crisp numeric indication. The spare tire storage area, accessible from behind the seats, is finished with factory correct grey material, concealing a full-sized matching Dunlop spare tire and painted wire wheel. The trunk has been nicely finished in keeping with the quality of the interior covered with dark gray carpeting piped with lighter gray edge beading. A modern spiral cell Optima battery is installed in the trunk, concealed under the protective cover. Materials are consistent with original application including the headliner, interior side panels, seat pleating, and door cards. The engine compartment has been restored to factory appearance with excellent detail applied to all components, hardware, hoses, and lines which show only modest signs of use since the restoration was completed. The matching numbers single overhead cam Coventry Climax FWE 1,216cc four-cylinder engine is correctly finished, topped with a bright yellow cam cover, and flanked by twin SU carburetors. Here too, the marvel of simplicity and lightweight engineering is captured with all systems easily accessed and practically laid out. The undercarriage features the fiberglass body which rolls under, forming smooth rocker panels that blend into a full belly pan – a feature which significantly contributed to the low drag these cars achieved. Front and rear suspension components appear at all four corners displaying patina typically found in original cars. The cast aluminum engine oil pan peeks out from the belly pan revealing welding bead lines consistent with acceptable service methods often found on these cars. The undercarriage appears consistent with factory specifications showing once again the hallmarks of Lotus design including inboard rear disc brakes, race-bred suspension, and the sophisticated fiberglass monocoque design. The car starts easily and idles smoothly with a nice warm tone to the dual exit exhaust. Unlike other coupe designs, the interior feels comfortable and surprisingly roomy given the overall size of these cars. The shifter matches naturally with your driving posture, steering wheel position is comfortable, and visibility is quite good even with the advanced aerodynamic curvature of the rear canopy and larger C post. Clutch and shifter engage readily as a touch of the throttle sets you on your way. The car tracks nicely, exhibiting composure and confidence as speeds increase. Disc brakes, with inboard rears combined with race-bred suspension are delightful, largely attributed to the lightweight but rigid monocoque design. Driving pleasure is immediate and captivating with distinct vintage charm and performance from a celebrated engine, well known for its substantial competition victories. Included with the car This Lotus is accompanied by notebooks featuring previous owner service and parts notations as well as miscellaneous records, photographs of the car, reference literature and specifications, several club newsletters, various magazines, and period articles. 1962 Lotus Elite Series 1 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Finished in the quintessential Ferrari color of Rosso Corsa, this 1988 Ferrari 328GTS is a stunning example that shows just 11,865 miles at the time of cataloging. The 328 was produced from 1986-1989, and the model run is split into two variations- the cars built from 1986 through the first half of 1988, and then what are known as the 1988.5-1989 cars. These later cars benefit from a significantly improved suspension to prepare the car for ABS which also necessitated a new convex 5-spoke wheel design, that is the easiest way to identify an early versus late car. As a GTS, this 328 has a vinyl wrapped targa top, which is complimented by a black vinyl wrapped spoiler that sits just behind the rear targa bar. The interior is finished in a deep, chocolate brown leather known as Testa di Moro, which is complimented with dark brown carpet throughout the interior. When you compare the interior of the 328 to more modern exotics, it is delightfully simple and allows you to focus on just one thing- enjoying the drive. When you slide into the driver’s seat, you are met with a perfect width leather wrapped Momo steering wheel, that frames a set of Veglia gauges that are essentially identical to those found in the 288 GTO. Next to your right leg, a pod houses a trio of dials that includes a clock, oil temperature and fuel level, and beneath that, a Blaupunkt Los Angeles tape deck looks perfect in the cabin. The center console houses the all important gated 5-speed manual shifter, and behind that, sits the climate control system, hazard lights and window switches. Mechanically, the 2.9-liter V8 from the 308 was replaced by a 3.2-liter unit with a host of updates throughout to give it more power, while also making it more livable and pleasant to drive. A greatly improved Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system was paired with a Marelli electronic ignition system to help the 328 effortlessly pass American emissions, while also allowing the car to idle and drive far more smoothly than any 308. Between this new injection system, 4 valves per cylinder, and the greater displacement, power for the 328 increased to 270 hp which helped it run from 0-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The 328 is considered by many to be one of the most reliable classic Ferraris- the engine and gearbox are notoriously robust and thanks to the transverse layout, the engine does not need to come out of the car to replace timing belts like on the later 348 and F355 series cars. Regardless of wether you are a Ferrari collector or new to the brand, it doesn’t take much seat time to realize that the 328 GTS is a proper driver’s car. Built with enough technology to be dependable and easy to use, but with out any nannies to get in the way of driving enjoyment, the 328 is a car that will always put a smile on your face. Inspection Summary The paint on this car is in very good condition for its age, showing only minor stone chips at the rear of the car-most of which are covered with dabs of touch up paint. There is paint protection film applied to the front ⅓ of the car, and minor peeling is occurring around the left headlight bucket. There is an intermittent issue where the right side headlight will get stuck in the open or closed position and a minor tear in the driver’s door seal. As you would anticipate on a car of this age, there are a few leaks underneath from the front radiator, and one of the front steering boots is torn- as well as one of the inner axle boots by the transaxle. 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
