Completely rebuilt Porsche 911 SC/RS Group 4 vehicle with current FiA HTP papers as well as FiA HRCP passport and previous Swiss road registration with veteran entry. The basis was a 911 SC 3.0, which was completely rebuilt in the course of 2017 according to FiA standard Appendix K. The body shell was professionally and within legal means reinforced with appropriate welding points and rebuilt after the lye bath. The engine and gearbox were also rebuilt by renowned Swiss Porsche specialists, with written confirmation of the permissible cubic capacity (max. 3000cc). The wiring harness has been re-routed, the entire chassis is new, as is the racing pedal set. The front and rear axles and the rack-and-pinion steering are also new. The brakes are of the Turbo 3.3l type and have been overhauled. The tank system is of the RS 1974 type with a capacity of 120 liters and the large oil cooler is installed in the spoiler at the front. The last owner regularly took part in prestigious events with this Porsche 911 SC/RS 3.0 Group 4, including the Arosa Classic 6 times in a row and Bernina 4 times, where he was incredibly fast.

- 1970 Jensen Interceptor II 2
Supplied new to the original Poldark heart-throb, Robin Ellis, this fabulous Interceptor II benefits from a documented restoration. The Interceptor was as much Italian as British, designed as it was by Carrozzeria Touring with the bodyshells built by Vignale before being delivered to the West Bromwich factory to be paired with the inimitable 6.3-litre Chrysler V8 and mechanicals. When new, the Interceptor cost substantially more than an Aston Martin and was double the price of an E-Type Jaguar. One would struggle to find a connection between Frank Sinatra and Sir Matt Busby but both drove an Interceptor. The celebrity ownership list is extensive whilst the Interceptor's appearance on a slew of glamourous TV action series during the period, gave the car a certain louche, playboy image. Production of the Interceptor II, occasionally called the Mk II or Series II, commenced in October 1969 and lasted for two years. This particular car has a chassis prefix, #123 and is one of the 694 right-hand drive UK-cars powered by the E-Series 383ci V8, generating around 330bhp. It was first registered in the spring of 1970 and supplied new on 6th May of that year to British actor, Robin Ellis, best known for playing the leading role in the original version of the BBC series, Poldark. Purchased for just under £8,000 or the equivalent of £150,000 in today’s money, this Jensen was a statement car for a jobbing actor who was yet to gain international success until five years later, and is surely a testament to the Interceptor’s attraction, as 'the' car to own at the time. Several enthusiastic owners enjoyed the Jensen over the years and in 2015, the decision was made to completely restore it, as detailed in the file. Less than a decade later, the car’s restoration has 'bedded in' nicely. The Interceptor’s early history is supported by a large file containing the factory pre-sale inspection documentation, older paperwork and historic MOT Certificates. The Heritage Certificate is filed with a wealth of maintenance invoices, with the most recent service carried out in January 2023. Purchased from us in May 2023 and subsequently fitted with a new power steering set up, the car was initially intended to be upgraded by Jensen International Automotive with their full Corvette engine and running gear conversion, at a cost of some £200,000. However, having viewed and successfully bid on one of the earlier Corvette-engined, upgraded JIA cars, at our Iconic Auctioneers sale in November 2023, this car therefore became surplus to requirements. Finished in a lovely shade of a very pale grey with a black leather interior that is reminiscent of luxury GT cars of the era. Subtly upgraded with a dash mounted starter button that is to be pressed once the ignition key has activated the fuel pump at half-choke following three pumps of the throttle. It is recommend to allow the car to burble for a few moments before selecting drive and setting off for a jaunt. Estimated keenly with a celebrity provenance that perfectly matches the glitz of its era, few compare in this condition. 1970 Jensen Interceptor II Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina 2
It is often said that a designer’s work is never done, and especially in the automotive world, as car design is often in a constant state of evolution. Only so much can be done to prepare a car for the real world before it hits production, but keeping up with the competition and changing tastes always bring designers back to the drawing board. Although Pininfarina was surely thrilled with their work for Ferrari in designing the 330 GTC, the firm was clearly keen to keep moving in the right direction for their most famous customer. As such, this 330 GTC was purchased by Pininfarina directly from the factory in July of 1966 for their own use. Showcasing their forward thinking attitude, chassis no. 8727 falls exceptionally early in 330 GTC production, the fourth car built out of 600 completed in total. Upon its arrival with Pininfarina at their headquarters in Turin, only a few hours up the road from Maranello, the firm’s designers and craftsman set about their carefully considered work. Externally, the most noticeable change implemented by Pininfarina to chassis no. 8727 was the pop-up fog lights fitted to the nose. Hidden away when not in use, they could easily be rotated into position by a switch inside the car. These “Supervis” (short for super vision) lights appeared on two of the four 330 GTC Speciales, and were originally penned by Aldo Brovarone for the Superfast I concept car and also famously used in the 365 California Spyder. Keen tifosi will also spot that this car lost its trademark 330 GTC fender vents, and instead boasts vents on the hood, which proved far more efficient at dissipating heat from the engine bay. This new feature, one introduced on this very car, also made its way to 365 GTC and 365 GT 2+2 production. Finally the Ferrari badge on the nose was sunk into the bodywork, and the ‘330’ badge on trunk was removed entirely. The interior was reupholstered in light blue cloth, cooler to sit on in Italy’s hot summers, with the color chosen to compliment the car’s existing Blu Scuro paintwork, a shade known to be a favorite of Sergio Pininfarina himself. Cloth upholstery would later become an option on the 330 GTC as a result. The dashboard vents were changed to house two circular outlets on the top of the dashboard, allowing air to be directed wherever driver and passenger desired, a change that would be carried through to the 365 GTC. A new lever was fitted to open and close the quarter windows, along with a different steering wheel and hub, as well as a recessed ashtray in the center console, but these features would not appear in future production Ferraris. A passenger door lock was fitted and subsequently implemented on later 330 GTCs. After remaining with Pininfarina for a year, the 330 GTC was sold in July 1968 to Amerigo Brizzolara, an industrialist based in Milan, and passed through two more owners in its native Italy before being exported to the United States in the late 1970s, where it has remained ever since. Owned in the early 1980s by John Mason of San Francisco, the Ferrari was sold in September 1983 to California resident James Hampton, who in 1987 sold a fifty-percent interest in the car to John Ratto. Together the two men set about researching the unusual 330’s history and embarking on a comprehensive restoration. This would be no easy feat, as by now chassis no. 8727 had lots its unique foglamps and was finished in silver with black leather upholstery. By 1996, the engine and transmission had been rebuilt by Hampton and Ratto, but employment assignments overseas forced them to temporarily halt the refurbishment. Work recommenced in mid-1999 and coachbuilder Steve Moal was employed to assist in rebuilding the nose with new pop-up foglamps, using a 365 California as a template. Pininfarina supplied the original paint code and the car was thus refinished in the original factory colour of Blu Scuro and the interior retrimmed in tan, making for a highly attractive color combination. The car’s restoration was at last completed in 2002. After retaining the car for another six years following the completion of the restoration, the 330 GTC was sold by its owners into a significant collection in 2008. Later, it was featured in the August 2017 issue of Forza magazine in an article written by Maurice Khawam, who extensively detailed the car’s period modifications, showcasing why the car was so special and how it stood out from its brethren. Acquired by the current owner just under three years ago, the car was entrusted to the Ferrari specialists at Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas where it received just over $60,000 in mechanical work over the course of two years, returning it to running and driving condition following a long period of static display in prior ownership. Invoices for this work are available in the history file. Boasting a fascinating history, this 330 GTC Speciale stands proud as one of the most important examples of the model in existence. Renown for being exceptional driver’s cars, this car’s added provenance and spectacular unique design touches would also make it a fantastic concours entrant, ideal for Ferrari Club of America judging and it would surely garner much interest at Cavallino’s events and other concours events around the world. It is a GTC with few equals. 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Invoices for this work are available in the history file. Boasting a fascinating history, this 330 GTC Speciale stands proud as one of the most important examples of the model in existence. Renown for being exceptional driver’s cars, this car’s added provenance and spectacular unique design touches would also make it a fantastic concours entrant, ideal for Ferrari Club of America judging and it would surely garner much interest at Cavallino’s events and other concours events around the world. It is a GTC with few equals.

- 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE
Introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 1961, the top-of-the-range W112 was sold to the public as the 300SE, the ultimate Mercedes in the early 1960s. While sharing the same platform and timelessly elegant, Paul Bracq designed bodywork as the W111 220, the W112 coupe and convertibles were fitted with the smooth, powerful, fuel-injected M189 Type big-block straight -six power unit. They were also equipped with advanced self-levelling pneumatic rear suspension, power steering and automatic transmission along with a more luxurious interior. Externally, the W112 could be distinguished by significantly more brightwork as well as larger 14-inch wheels. Automatic transmission was standard with a much smaller number of cars were supplied with the manual gearbox. Costing nearly twice as much as a 220SE, more than a Rolls-Royce at the time, a 300SE was always going to be an exclusive purchase. Indeed, just 3127 were made before the long-established body style left the catalogue. Relative rarity and enduring good looks mean therefore that these forever classic Mercedes models have become more sought after. Painted in a very attractive dark blue, this 300SE Coupe still delivers an impressive turn of speed with the super smooth fuel-injected six giving ample power driven through the all synchromesh 4-speed ‘box. With nicely patinated yet very comfortable black leather and lots of wood within, this is a classic motor car for every occasion.

- 1968-monteverdi-high-speed-375-l-prototype
Attention enthusiasts and collectors – a unique opportunity for Swiss car history! The Monteverdi High Speed 375 L with Frua body offered here is a one-off. Only this car (chassis number 2001), which was shown in Geneva in March 1968, was completed with the original bodywork by Pietro Frua. After Peter Monteverdi had initially registered the car to himself, it was taken over by Swiss businessman Alfred Hopf, with whom Monteverdi had already run the Écurie HOBA racing team a few years earlier. The car later went to the famous playboy Gunter Sachs, who presumably not only had his then wife Brigitte Bardot on board, but also the undisputed sex goddess of the era. In the 1980s, Monteverdi bought it back and it became part of the Monteverdi Museum. This beautiful Monteverdi High Speed 375 L “Frua” in the color Aqua Verde is in top-maintained and absolutely original collector’s condition. The Monteverdi High Speed 375 L with Frua bodywork is a one-off 2+2-seater sports car built by the Swiss car brand Monteverdi in 1968. It was originally planned to complement the two-seater High Speed 375 S (Frua) presented six months earlier, but was not produced in series in this form due to a copyright dispute. In 1969, a second model appeared with the designation High Speed 375 L, which had a Fissore body and looked significantly different. The Fissore version was built around one hundred times until 1976. Pietro Frua further developed his Monteverdi design a few years later for the British sports car manufacturer AC Cars. 1968 Monteverdi High Speed 375 L prototype Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1956 Porsche 550A Prototype
Since 1951, Porsche has established an unrivaled dominance as overall champions at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (19 wins), 12 Hours of Sebring (18 wins), 24 Hours of Daytona (18 wins), and Targa Florio (11 wins)—to say nothing of the 100-plus class victories which Porsche entries have secured in these events, or their 29 World Sportscar Championship titles. Most surviving Porsche Werks competition cars reside within the company’s own museum and a very short list of the world’s finest collections. By virtue of collectability, winning examples enjoy a sizable premium in both scarcity and value—though regardless of vintage or significance, very few of these cars ever change hands, and most certainly not at public auction. Specially developed for the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans, in which it successfully won its class and secured a 5th overall finish, this Porsche 550A Prototype “Le Mans” Werks Coupe, chassis 550A-0104, is the sole surviving example of this type. Its incredible streamlined design, winning pedigree, well-documented history, and incredible restoration to original specifications mark it as unrepeatable offering which resides firmly within the highest echelon of truly significant Porsche factory-competition cars. A PROVEN IDEA, REINVENTED Chassis 0104 is the final of four 550A prototypes, and alongside sister car 550A-0103 (long understood by marque historians to have been destroyed), it was deposited into a cordoned-off section of Porsche’s racing workshop during the company’s nascent preparations for the 1956 Le Mans race to be held that 28 July. Porsche’s top brass were determined to develop something special, and inspiration was recycled, though significantly improved, from the pair of 1953 550 RS “Le Mans” Prototypes. Equipped with a patented streamlined fastback roof design by Porsche designers Wilhelm Hild and Erwin Komenda, those beautiful coupes carved their way to a remarkable 1-2 class victory in the 1953 event. Both have survived to the present, spending their days as prized treasures within two of the world’s best Porsche collections. Despite any outward similarities to these 1953 Coupes, 550A-0104’s underlying technology is demonstrably more advanced. Utilizing Porsche’s first lightweight spaceframe tube chassis, a fully independent suspension, five-speed transaxle, and myriad additional improvements which made it altogether faster, lighter, stiffer, more responsive, and better-stopping than the 550 RS which it replaced, the 550A Werks Prototypes thoughtfully combined cutting-edge chassis technology with tried-and-true mechanicals beneath a drastically improved, sculptural body shell. The 550A’s spaceframe greatly improved rigidity while reducing weight, thereby allowing the fitment of ultra-lightweight alloy bodywork, and it was upon this critical development that the model’s legendary legacy was built. In its debut at the 1956 Targa Florio, the 550A Werks Prototype 0101 of Umberto Magioli claimed overall victory with 15 minutes of lead-time to spare—ahead of an entire fleet of the world’s most fearsome collection of large-displacement entries from Ferrari, Maserati, and Mercedes-Benz. Hild refined the fastback coupe design for 1956 by way of a reshaped profile, ventilated Plexiglas windows, a dual-layered rear bulkhead, and new pair of hinged access panels which allowed routine pit-stop servicing of the Type 547 1.5-liter engine. The 550A’s new tube frame construction also obviated the need for an integrated roll bar, and thus these special roofs were mechanically fixed to the body. Racing duties for 0104 were subsequently assigned to factory drivers Richard von Frankenberg and Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips. TO VICTORY AT LA SARTHE The 1956 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is widely regarded as one of most treacherous in the event’s 100-year history. Near-constant rain pounded the partly-repaved circuit, creating horrible conditions made worse by a new regulation requiring full-length windscreens—which many entrants had failed to adequately test in heavy rain. The resulting mess of blinded, water-soaked drivers and barely controllable cars determined that only 14 of the race’s 49 entrants earned a classified finish. Working up from 18th place over the ensuing tempest, by the early morning hours of 29 July, von Trips was running 0104 in 7th overall when its class-leading sister car dropped a valve and was forced to retire. With the pressure of Porsche’s management now solely focused upon them, von Frankenberg and von Trips resolutely, and spectacularly, battled their way past the opposition over the race’s final hours to win the 1.5-liter Sportscar class. They finished 5th overall, and 2nd in the Index of Performance at an average speed of 98 mph—a truly historic and important result for one of the most accomplished brands in racing. Chassis 0104’s tremendous victory offered profound insight into the remarkable quality of Porsche’s racing department—that they could reinterpret and innovate upon a proven idea (the 1953 fastback design) to achieve their eighth class win at Le Mans. AS PRIVATEER; EDGAR AND BEYOND After Le Mans, 550A-0104 was liberated of its distinctive fastback roof. Following a 4th-place finish in the Nürburgring-Rhineland Prize on 5 August 1956, it was then sold by the factory to the preeminent American privateer John “The Kingfish” Edgar. One of the most renowned and well-connected sportscar enthusiasts in the world, Edgar maintained a roster of cars and hired guns that now reads like an intercontinental “who’s who” of the all-time greats. Edgar debuted 0104 with driver Pete Lovely at Palm Springs on 4 November 1956, though its most notable result came at the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring, when Ken Miles and Jean-Pierre Kunstle earned a rousing class-runner up (9th OA) finish amongst a formidable field of top-tier drivers and machines. Kunstle then purchased 0104 from Edgar and continued racing it with great success until summer 1958, when he sold it following a transport accident to George Keck of Seattle, Washington. Keck commissioned an extremely low-slung aluminum body from Nate Borgeault, while replacement mechanicals were reportedly sourced from Porsche dealers Vasek Polak, John von Neumann, and factory mechanic Rolf Wütherich. By 1960, 0104 resided with Tad Davies, and it remained a competitive entry across the SCCA’s Pacific Northwest Region’s F-Modified class until late 1962. The car next passed as a non-running project to S.K. Smith of Medford, Oregon, who installed a flat-six engine and five-speed transaxle procured from a Chevrolet Corvair and Porsche 356, respectively. Following an incident during the 1965 racing season, Smith and several friends repaired the car and affixed a fiberglass body in lieu of the ruined Borgeault-Keck shell. After terrorizing regional and national SCCA D-Modified class races through the 1966 season, Smith sold the much-feared historic Porsche onward to Bruce Larson. After passing through several later owners who declined to race it, in 2004 the semi-obscured 550A-0104 was shrewdly tracked down and purchased by Julio Palmaz, one of the world’s foremost collectors of early Porsche competition prototypes. His in-house restoration workshop soon took on the enormous task of returning 550A-0104 back to its 1956 Le Mans specifications. Thankfully, they did not have to look far for a reference grade example upon which to reconstruct much of 0104’s original cosmetic appearance, as the 1956 Targa Florio-winning 550A Prototype, chassis 550A-0101, also resided within Palmaz’s collection. Since emerging from its exceptional and highly acclaimed restoration, 0104 has been rarely exhibited, with notable showings including the 2015 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, 2018 Rennsport Reunion VI, and Le Mans Centenary display during the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Races The 1956 550A Prototype “Le Mans” Werks Coupe presents a singular, unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a unique, winning, museum-grade (and yet eminently usable) artifact from Porsche’s legendary and unmatched record of top-tier endurance racing victories. Having secured a spectacular class win and 5th overall finish for Porsche’s factory racing team upon its debut at the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans, prior to another decade of laurel-crowned use by noted American privateers, 550A-0104s is surely among “Porsche royalty”—a rarified specimen from the company’s highest echelon of truly significant Werks competition cars. 1956 Porsche 550A Prototype 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 Since 1951, Porsche has established an unrivaled dominance as overall champions at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (19 wins), 12 Hours of Sebring (18 wins), 24 Hours of Daytona (18 wins), and Targa Florio (11 wins)—to say nothing of the 100-plus class victories which Porsche entries have secured in these events, or their 29 World Sportscar Championship titles. Most surviving Porsche Werks competition cars reside within the company’s own museum and a very short list of the world’s finest collections. By virtue of collectability, winning examples enjoy a sizable premium in both scarcity and value—though regardless of vintage or significance, very few of these cars ever change hands, and most certainly not at public auction. Specially developed for the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans, in which it successfully won its class and secured a 5th overall finish, this Porsche 550A Prototype “Le Mans” Werks Coupe, chassis 550A-0104, is the sole surviving example of this type. Its incredible streamlined design, winning pedigree, well-documented history, and incredible restoration to original specifications mark it as unrepeatable offering which resides firmly within the highest echelon of truly significant Porsche factory-competition cars. A PROVEN IDEA, REINVENTED Chassis 0104 is the final of four 550A prototypes, and alongside sister car 550A-0103 (long understood by marque historians to have been destroyed), it was deposited into a cordoned-off section of Porsche’s racing workshop during the company’s nascent preparations for the 1956 Le Mans race to be held that 28 July. Porsche’s top brass were determined to develop something special, and inspiration was recycled, though significantly improved, from the pair of 1953 550 RS “Le Mans” Prototypes. Equipped with a patented streamlined fastback roof design by Porsche designers Wilhelm Hild and Erwin Komenda, those beautiful coupes carved their way to a remarkable 1-2 class victory in the 1953 event. Both have survived to the present, spending their days as prized treasures within two of the world’s best Porsche collections. Despite any outward similarities to these 1953 Coupes, 550A-0104’s underlying technology is demonstrably more advanced. Utilizing Porsche’s first lightweight spaceframe tube chassis, a fully independent suspension, five-speed transaxle, and myriad additional improvements which made it altogether faster, lighter, stiffer, more responsive, and better-stopping than the 550 RS which it replaced, the 550A Werks Prototypes thoughtfully combined cutting-edge chassis technology with tried-and-true mechanicals beneath a drastically improved, sculptural body shell. The 550A’s spaceframe greatly improved rigidity while reducing weight, thereby allowing the fitment of ultra-lightweight alloy bodywork, and it was upon this critical development that the model’s legendary legacy was built. In its debut at the 1956 Targa Florio, the 550A Werks Prototype 0101 of Umberto Magioli claimed overall victory with 15 minutes of lead-time to spare—ahead of an entire fleet of the world’s most fearsome collection of large-displacement entries from Ferrari, Maserati, and Mercedes-Benz. Hild refined the fastback coupe design for 1956 by way of a reshaped profile, ventilated Plexiglas windows, a dual-layered rear bulkhead, and new pair of hinged access panels which allowed routine pit-stop servicing of the Type 547 1.5-liter engine. The 550A’s new tube frame construction also obviated the need for an integrated roll bar, and thus these special roofs were mechanically fixed to the body. Racing duties for 0104 were subsequently assigned to factory drivers Richard von Frankenberg and Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips. TO VICTORY AT LA SARTHE The 1956 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is widely regarded as one of most treacherous in the event’s 100-year history. Near-constant rain pounded the partly-repaved circuit, creating horrible conditions made worse by a new regulation requiring full-length windscreens—which many entrants had failed to adequately test in heavy rain. The resulting mess of blinded, water-soaked drivers and barely controllable cars determined that only 14 of the race’s 49 entrants earned a classified finish. Working up from 18th place over the ensuing tempest, by the early morning hours of 29 July, von Trips was running 0104 in 7th overall when its class-leading sister car dropped a valve and was forced to retire. With the pressure of Porsche’s management now solely focused upon them, von Frankenberg and von Trips resolutely, and spectacularly, battled their way past the opposition over the race’s final hours to win the 1.5-liter Sportscar class. They finished 5th overall, and 2nd in the Index of Performance at an average speed of 98 mph—a truly historic and important result for one of the most accomplished brands in racing. Chassis 0104’s tremendous victory offered profound insight into the remarkable quality of Porsche’s racing department—that they could reinterpret and innovate upon a proven idea (the 1953 fastback design) to achieve their eighth class win at Le Mans. AS PRIVATEER; EDGAR AND BEYOND After Le Mans, 550A-0104 was liberated of its distinctive fastback roof. Following a 4th-place finish in the Nürburgring-Rhineland Prize on 5 August 1956, it was then sold by the factory to the preeminent American privateer John “The Kingfish” Edgar. One of the most renowned and well-connected sportscar enthusiasts in the world, Edgar maintained a roster of cars and hired guns that now reads like an intercontinental “who’s who” of the all-time greats. Edgar debuted 0104 with driver Pete Lovely at Palm Springs on 4 November 1956, though its most notable result came at the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring, when Ken Miles and Jean-Pierre Kunstle earned a rousing class-runner up (9th OA) finish amongst a formidable field of top-tier drivers and machines. Kunstle then purchased 0104 from Edgar and continued racing it with great success until summer 1958, when he sold it following a transport accident to George Keck of Seattle, Washington. Keck commissioned an extremely low-slung aluminum body from Nate Borgeault, while replacement mechanicals were reportedly sourced from Porsche dealers Vasek Polak, John von Neumann, and factory mechanic Rolf Wütherich. By 1960, 0104 resided with Tad Davies, and it remained a competitive entry across the SCCA’s Pacific Northwest Region’s F-Modified class until late 1962. The car next passed as a non-running project to S.K. Smith of Medford, Oregon, who installed a flat-six engine and five-speed transaxle procured from a Chevrolet Corvair and Porsche 356, respectively. Following an incident during the 1965 racing season, Smith and several friends repaired the car and affixed a fiberglass body in lieu of the ruined Borgeault-Keck shell. After terrorizing regional and national SCCA D-Modified class races through the 1966 season, Smith sold the much-feared historic Porsche onward to Bruce Larson. After passing through several later owners who declined to race it, in 2004 the semi-obscured 550A-0104 was shrewdly tracked down and purchased by Julio Palmaz, one of the world’s foremost collectors of early Porsche competition prototypes. His in-house restoration workshop soon took on the enormous task of returning 550A-0104 back to its 1956 Le Mans specifications. Thankfully, they did not have to look far for a reference grade example upon which to reconstruct much of 0104’s original cosmetic appearance, as the 1956 Targa Florio-winning 550A Prototype, chassis 550A-0101, also resided within Palmaz’s collection. Since emerging from its exceptional and highly acclaimed restoration, 0104 has been rarely exhibited, with notable showings including the 2015 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, 2018 Rennsport Reunion VI, and Le Mans Centenary display during the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Races The 1956 550A Prototype “Le Mans” Werks Coupe presents a singular, unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a unique, winning, museum-grade (and yet eminently usable) artifact from Porsche’s legendary and unmatched record of top-tier endurance racing victories. Having secured a spectacular class win and 5th overall finish for Porsche’s factory racing team upon its debut at the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans, prior to another decade of laurel-crowned use by noted American privateers, 550A-0104s is surely among “Porsche royalty”—a rarified specimen from the company’s highest echelon of truly significant Werks competition cars.

- 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 1
Built in March of 1996, this 993 Carrera Cabriolet is a particularly special example that was delivered new to Stuttgart in May of 1996 before being shipped to California, where it lived for almost 20 years. This Carrera has numerous special features, but the most notable is the stunning Forest Green Metallic Paint to Sample- ordered at a time when the PTS program was not commonplace. Under the current ownership, this Carrera was updated with new European bumpers, and the speedometer and odometer have been converted from miles to kilometers, with the odometer showing 125,110 km. Fitted with 17” Cup wheels and Porsche Crest wheel caps, this car is in absolutely stunning condition throughout. The interior is wrapped in Cashmere Supple leather, which perfectly complements the dark green on the exterior. It is also fitted with the rarely seen but very desirable Aluminum dial faces- these add some visual interest to the interior but look much higher quality than adding red or yellow faces to the gauges. These aluminum accents are paired with brushed stainless Carrera sill plates, an aluminum shift knob, and hand brake lever. The driver and passenger both get power-adjustable seats with heating, but the driver’s seat is also fitted with power lumbar adjustment for added comfort on long drives. Powering the 993 Carrera is a 3.6-liter M64 Flat-6 engine that produces 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and loves to pull hard all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. 1996 was the first year of the VarioRam system on the 993, which features variable length intake runners and is designed to optimize both low-down torque and high RPM power. The implementation of this system resulted in an increase of 14 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque. In this Carrera, the engine has been freshly serviced and is ready to be driven. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual Getrag gearbox with Porsche’s famous floor-hinged pedals. Power is then sent to the rear wheels through an optional limited-slip differential- a crucial option in any 993. With this 993’s multiple trips back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean, it is safe to say that it has quite a story to tell. The original owner clearly knew what they were doing during ordering and produced a one-of-a-kind 993, in a classic specification that appeals to both the driving enthusiast and someone looking for a convertible to cruise around in. 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
The 1967 Corvette was the best of the best. The C2 was a massive leap forward for America's sports car when it burst on the scene 60 years ago. Car and Driver readers voted Corvette “Best All-Around Car” for 1967, and the magazine called it “the most sophisticated passenger car made in America … and among the best engineered sports cars made anywhere.” Beneath the hood lies a potent V8 engine that roars to life with a visceral rumble, delivering over 300 horsepower of pure adrenaline. Paired with a smooth-shifting manual transmission, the 1967 Corvette offers a driving experience that's as exhilarating as it is timeless. The 1967 Corvette embodies the spirit of American muscle with its iconic Sting Ray design. From its sweeping lines to the distinctive split rear window, every curve is a nod to a bygone era of automotive elegance and innovation. Whether admired on display or roaring down the highway, this Corvette turns heads wherever it goes. As one of the most sought-after Corvette models ever produced, the 1967 edition represents the pinnacle of Chevrolet's commitment to performance and craftsmanship. It's not just a car; it's a symbol of American automotive ingenuity and the thrill of driving. This particular 1967 327/350 coupe was sold new by TPL Motor Co of Clinton, NC. This is as good as it gets. This car is fully documented with its tank sticker, protect-o-plate, pre-delivery checklist, judging sheets and complete ownership history, copies of previous titles and registrations. This 67' has been through the most rigorous judging process earning 3 NCRS Duntov “Mark of Excellence” Awards over 3 different decades. It has earned 2 Bloomington Gold in two different decades. The above accomplishments are nothing short of astounding to this cars resume and a testament to the quality of restoration and authenticity of the car. This 67' is a true, “Investment Grade” C2 Corvette example. 1967 Chevrolet Corvette GT Motor Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1959 Jaguar XK 150 S
The Jaguar XK 150 is a versatile, competitive choice of historic racing car that’s eligible for a wide range of events, and this particular example was race-prepared in recent years with no expense spared. It was originally built in February 1959 as a standard right-hand-drive, 3.4-litre, XK 150 S Fixed-Head Coupé. As one of only 86 such cars to leave the famous Browns Lane factory, that makes it a very rare variant of the model. Chassis number 824785DN was finished in Pearl Grey with a Red interior and sold new via Glovers in Harrogate. Registered 799 JDV, the XK next turns up being offered for sale in March 1990, by which time it was said to have had only two owners – the second of whom had bought it in 1960 or 1961. They had also rebuilt the car between 1969 and 1973. Fast-forward to 2016 and the XK 150 was once again in need of restoration, and over the course of the next two years, it was built up into competition spec by renowned specialist Brian Stevens of XK Motorsport. The engine was uprated from 3.4 to 3.8 litres, the larger capacity having been added to the XK 150 range from late 1959 onwards. It runs on S-spec triple SU carburettors and drives through the standard Moss four-speed gearbox. Stevens had intended to use the completed XK 150 himself, but instead he decided to sell it in unraced condition. Through 2018 and 2019, it was campaigned by its new owner in the UK and on the continent, at venues such as Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch and Snetterton. Now being offered for sale at the Classic Motor Hub, this superbly prepared and well-proven XK 150 features a Corbeau race seat, Lifeline extinguisher, bolt-in half roll cage and Dunlop Racing tyres. It also has an FIA Historic Technical Passport that’s valid until December 2028, and will offer its next owner a highly competitive and enjoyable entry into a variety of historic-racing series. 1959 Jaguar XK 150 S The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1964-alfa-romeo-2600-sprint
The 2600 Sprint really defined the executive driver’s car for Alfa Romeo. Built between 1964 and 1967 only 6,999 were made making it quite a rare sight and desirable model. This larger grand touring coupé could seat four adults in comfort over long journeys at high speeds thanks to the wide power and torque band of the 2584cc six-cylinder engine. With a 5-speed gearbox and all-round disc brakes it was perfect to drive long distances at speed and in comfort. The design is the result of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s first major project as head designer for Carrozzeria Bertone and is arguably one of the most influential designs in the history of automotive styling. As confirmed by Alfa Romeo this example was manufactured on June 30th, 1964, and sold in March 1966 in Feltre, Belluno in Northern Italy. Interestingly we know the car was registered in Melbourne in 1969. At some point it has had a RHD conversion and given the time between production, sale and then early arrival in Australia we believe this conversion was likely completed at the factory. The car is finished in its correct original light grey, AR722 with red leather interior. After spending most of its life in Melbourne the car was bought in 1998 by the previous owner who undertook a full and extensive restoration which was completed in 2001. This was conducted by marque experts to the highest of quality. After some 16 years of ownership the car was then acquired by the current owner in 2014 and the car moved to QLD. Over the years the car has been maintained to the highest level with key work including a rebuild of the steering box, work to rear suspension, overhaul of the original brake booster, fitment of a new and correct Bendix fuel pump, 123 electronic distributor, replacement of engine/gearbox mounts and overhaul of the clutch master and slave cylinder. Absolutely everything functions as it should making this a very desirable example of a 2600 Sprint. As you would expect the engine and gearbox both perform faultlessly with no issues with the synchro’s. Over the last few years, the car has been driven on fair weather days and to ensure it drives perfectly with recent mechanical work done to ensure it runs as expected including the rebuild of its original Solex carbs. The interior is excellent with the red leather is in near perfect order with only minor signs of drying and fade on the drivers bolster which could be easily treated. The dash is like new as is the timber veneer which show a glorious deep lacquer finish. Unusually the steering wheel is perfect without cracking. The electric windows are working correctly, and the headlining is in superb order, and the window chrome is spot on. The interior of this car really is a lovely place to be. A period correct ‘Becker’ radio has been fitted with a jack plug allowing connection to a phone. The wheels are in excellent order and the although the hubcaps are original, they are very good. All the bright work is perfect without even a scratch present anywhere. The badges are like new. The engine bay is clean and tidy with even the correct under bonnet insulation in place. Given the rarity of this feature, it is a sign of how good this car is. In the boot there is the correct mat, tool kit and jack. The paint although applied some years ago is generally very good. There is one area of cracking under the lip of the boot, but this is not easily visible. There are no dents or scratches of any significance, and the panel gaps are excellent. Out on the road this car really is a gentlemen’s express and is incredibly quiet and comfortable to drive as it works through the gears with the 2.6 litre engine providing plenty of ‘go’ whilst delivering an intoxicating engine note. The car comes with its original keys, and a collection of original and rare sales documents including, instruction manual, parts catalogue and sales brochures. The owner has also collated several folders of technical information illustrating how well this car has been kept. Compared to its contemporaries from Maserati and Ferrari this represents something of a bargain and particularly one that is so original. A wonderful driving Alfa Romeo with a fantastic history. 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1984 Jaguar XJS TWR Group A Ex-Walkinshaw Percy Brundle
In late 1981 Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was involved in an evaluation programme for Jaguar Cars after secret meetings at the famous Browns Lane headquarters in Coventry. These meetings centred on the proposal by Tom Walkinshaw to run a team of XJS’s in the new Group A regulations of the 1982 European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). TWR were at that time as both the largest and most successful touring car team in Britain. Over the course of three years, TWR built seven Group A Jaguar XJS race cars with our car being chassis TWR JC 84A005. The car made its competition debut in 1984 at Zolder where it was driven by Win Percy and team co-owner Chuck Nicholson, immediately quick with a 3rd on the grid. Next up was Mugello where 005 was convincingly on pole with Percy and new superstar F1 driver and future Jaguar Le Mans winner, Martin Brundle. Unfortunately a puncture would rob them of victory. Jaguar were happy though as TWR had taken them to the 1984 ETCC crown, beating the best from the Austin Rover, BMW, Volvo and Alfa Romeo factory teams. Shortly after Mugello, the car was hastily painted in the famous John Player Special black and gold livery and shipped to Macau where Walkinshaw took the car to victory in the Group A ‘Guia’ race supporting the famous annual Macau GP for Formula 3 cars, long considered the launch pad of many Formula 1 careers including Ayrton Senna. For 1985, chassis 005 would then go onto tackle the legendary Bathurst 1000 as part of the factory Jaguar squad. Running the number 9 on the door, Allam and Dickson were on the front row in qualifying and swapping the lead until engine gremlins confined them to the pits. The car would stay out in the southern hemisphere though racing in Japan and New Zealand – making it the last ever TWR XJS to race internationally, and therefore the most developed of them all. The car will be delivered race-ready having just benefitted from a refresh and upgrade to the engine at Moto Historics, with no regard to costs. As one of only 4 genuine TWR XJS Group A cars in existence, chassis 005 will be as welcome at the Goodwood Festival of Speed as it will be at the sharp end of MRL's Historic Touring Car Challenge. It would also be a potential winner in Peter Auto's HTC, and comes with a useful spares package. 1984: Zolder - DNF - Nicholson, Percy (3rd on the grid, water pump failure in race) Mugello - DNF - Percy, Brundle (POLE position, puncture in race) Macau GP – POLE and 1st OVERALL - Walkinshaw (the car was repainted in John Player Special colours for the race) 1985: Bathurst - DNF - Allam, Dickson (2nd on the grid, engine problem in the race) 1986: Fuji - DNF - Walkinshaw, Percy (POLE, oil pressure in race) 1987: Wellington NZ – DNF – Walkinshaw, Percy (diff) Pukekohe NZ – 2nd overall – Percy, Hahne (3rd in Qualifying, 2nd overall in race) Spares include: Dedicated tool box full of specific XJS TWR parts, running equipment. 18 wheels Crate full of engine parts, with the major components to build a spare engine Suspension Propshaft Brakes 105db Exhaust Water-cooled brake assembly 1984 Jaguar XJS TWR Group A Ex-Walkinshaw Percy Brundle Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd 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 In late 1981 Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was involved in an evaluation programme for Jaguar Cars after secret meetings at the famous Browns Lane headquarters in Coventry. These meetings centred on the proposal by Tom Walkinshaw to run a team of XJS’s in the new Group A regulations of the 1982 European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). TWR were at that time as both the largest and most successful touring car team in Britain. Over the course of three years, TWR built seven Group A Jaguar XJS race cars with our car being chassis TWR JC 84A005. The car made its competition debut in 1984 at Zolder where it was driven by Win Percy and team co-owner Chuck Nicholson, immediately quick with a 3rd on the grid. Next up was Mugello where 005 was convincingly on pole with Percy and new superstar F1 driver and future Jaguar Le Mans winner, Martin Brundle. Unfortunately a puncture would rob them of victory. Jaguar were happy though as TWR had taken them to the 1984 ETCC crown, beating the best from the Austin Rover, BMW, Volvo and Alfa Romeo factory teams. Shortly after Mugello, the car was hastily painted in the famous John Player Special black and gold livery and shipped to Macau where Walkinshaw took the car to victory in the Group A ‘Guia’ race supporting the famous annual Macau GP for Formula 3 cars, long considered the launch pad of many Formula 1 careers including Ayrton Senna. For 1985, chassis 005 would then go onto tackle the legendary Bathurst 1000 as part of the factory Jaguar squad. Running the number 9 on the door, Allam and Dickson were on the front row in qualifying and swapping the lead until engine gremlins confined them to the pits. The car would stay out in the southern hemisphere though racing in Japan and New Zealand – making it the last ever TWR XJS to race internationally, and therefore the most developed of them all. The car will be delivered race-ready having just benefitted from a refresh and upgrade to the engine at Moto Historics, with no regard to costs. As one of only 4 genuine TWR XJS Group A cars in existence, chassis 005 will be as welcome at the Goodwood Festival of Speed as it will be at the sharp end of MRL's Historic Touring Car Challenge. It would also be a potential winner in Peter Auto's HTC, and comes with a useful spares package. 1984: Zolder - DNF - Nicholson, Percy (3rd on the grid, water pump failure in race) Mugello - DNF - Percy, Brundle (POLE position, puncture in race) Macau GP – POLE and 1st OVERALL - Walkinshaw (the car was repainted in John Player Special colours for the race) 1985: Bathurst - DNF - Allam, Dickson (2nd on the grid, engine problem in the race) 1986: Fuji - DNF - Walkinshaw, Percy (POLE, oil pressure in race) 1987: Wellington NZ – DNF – Walkinshaw, Percy (diff) Pukekohe NZ – 2nd overall – Percy, Hahne (3rd in Qualifying, 2nd overall in race) Spares include: Dedicated tool box full of specific XJS TWR parts, running equipment. 18 wheels Crate full of engine parts, with the major components to build a spare engine Suspension Propshaft Brakes 105db Exhaust Water-cooled brake assembly Other Cars from Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-01.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-02.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-05.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-01.png 1/5 1988 Jaguar XJR-9 LM Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom 1978-Fiat-131-Abarth-01.jpg 1978-Fiat-131-Abarth-02.jpg 1978-Fiat-131-Abarth-10.jpg 1978-Fiat-131-Abarth-01.jpg 1/10 1978 Fiat 131 Abarth Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom 1995-Subaru-Impreza-555-Ex-Colin-McRae-01.png 1995-Subaru-Impreza-555-Ex-Colin-McRae-02.png 1995-Subaru-Impreza-555-Ex-Colin-McRae-10.png 1995-Subaru-Impreza-555-Ex-Colin-McRae-01.png 1/10 1995 Subaru Impreza 555 - Ex-Colin McRae Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom Last Featured Cars 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-02.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-10.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1/10 1992 Subaru SVX DLS Automobile Germany 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-02.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-15.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1/15 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS IROC Evocation Classic Connection United Kingdom 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-02.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-20.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1/20 1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH Switzerland
