  • 1990-porsche-lightspeed-classic-911-carrera-2

    Lightspeed Classic, a division of Autoaktiv Motorsport, located and operated outside of Munich, Germany, established their business with a singular goal - to build custom fabricated 911 Porsches integrating the latest in technology while leveraging legacy 911 design characteristics. Conceived by Porsche enthusiast and long-time Porsche motorsports in-house expert, Ralf Skatulla, his team elected to work exclusively with the 964 platform. The Lightspeed team tapped their combined Rennsport experience and re-engineered the entire car to create a blend of new and traditional features while balancing the demands of added power with refined brakes and updated suspension. Blending artistry and engineering, the Lightspeed build team combines experience spanning more than 25 years of Porsche racing expertise. This mechanical expertise coupled with design sensitivity is embodied in each of their individually commissioned cars. Beginning with a fully functional 964 and disassembling the entire car, the exterior metal body panels are removed, and the remaining steel roof, platform, and door structure are galvanized. The steel rear wheel arches are widened for the new rear profile while the exterior body is built up with weight saving carbon fiber hood and front/rear fenders and carbon fiber front and rear bumpers each of which are designed to feature traditional 911 design traits. The engines are comprehensively rebuilt including titanium parts and a beautifully formed 993 RS injector holder assembly featuring 996 injectors adapted for the 993 ECU. An assortment of six-speed manual transmissions can be selected to pair with a 997 GT3 RS clutch. The beautifully machined cable-driven CAE milled aluminum shifter completes the vintage connection to contemporary power. For stopping power, a 996 GT3 Cup system is used including six-piston/four-piston calipers over ventilated drilled discs. The interiors are also fully reimagined blending new features and vintage elements combining modern technology, premium audio, and special features per individual commissions. Each car is unique and expertly crafted to the highest standards and, unlike Singer, Singer DLS, or Guntherworks examples with year-long wait lists and million-dollar price tags, this titled and registered North American Lightspeed Classic is a highly appealing alternative, especially considering the exclusivity and rarity of these uniquely built cars. This Lightspeed Carrera 2 is the 8th example constructed by Lightspeed Classics and is believed to be the only one currently available for purchase in North America. The car was commissioned by the first owner who purchased a 1990 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 for $28,500 in 2012, then indicating 148k miles on the odometer. In 2016, the car was delivered to Lightspeed Classic. The owner specified both mechanical and aesthetic options and features, and the subsequent commissioned work was performed over the course of approximately two years totaling more than 175k Euros. Export costs, build costs and donor vehicle costs totaled over $220k when this car was imported back to North America in April 2018 where it has remained since. Features of this build include a fully rebuilt Porsche 964 engine with sport camshafts, 3.8-liter pistons/cylinders, uprated intake, and a Lightspeed custom exhaust which also features a damper system to control sound. For the gearbox, the owner selected a GT3 gearbox. Additional features included LED headlights, air conditioning, power steering, ABS, rear third brake light, European emissions, carbon fiber fenders, hood, front and rear bumpers, performance suspension with Bilstein coilovers, Classic 911 engine lid, Classic rear bumper uprights, Lightspeed Classic interior door panel design, radio and speakers, folding seats, Porsche side stripes, and the interior finished in Porsche Nappalleder (leather) black for front and rear seats. Though originally equipped with a factory sunroof, this was removed for weight savings and the roof filled with a welded steel insert. In 2023, the commissioning owner sold the car through dealer representation to the current owner. The current owner updated the seatbelts and installed a Porsche classic radio with an integrated smartphone auxiliary plugin. Recent services and mechanical work include the installation of two rear 275/40 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Sport tires (2022) the installation of a Numeric Racing shifter assembly, service to one of the Bilstein shocks, wheel alignment, and wheel rim repair (2020). Vehicle Overview Today this Lightspeed Classic Porsche 911 presents with stunning visual and mechanical features throughout. Beautifully finished in Signal Yellow, the finishes are vivid and beautifully prepared while cleverly blending the best of 911 legacy features and contemporary design. The striking color presents beautifully over the 911 profile accented by carbon fiber front and rear bumpers, wide rear fenders, and large diameter central exit dual exhausts. Exterior accents continue the vintage 911 themes including front and rear lighting (headlights with LED internals), chrome door handles, and satin silver treatments for the window surrounds, engine grille, Porsche engine lid lettering, and a pair of Lightspeed Classic design alloy mirrors. A set of 17” three-piece Fuchs style satin silver and black alloy wheels are mated to BBS lips measuring 17x11 rear and 17x9 front wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 225/45R17 front and 275/40R17 rear tires. Porsche branded red multi-piston brake calipers with ventilated discs are mounted at each corner. The lightened interior is functionally elegant delivering a purposeful feel with a focus on performance and uncluttered aesthetics. A factory dashboard and Porsche instrumentation are cleanly arrayed and properly finished in handsome black materials and finishes. A pair of Lightspeed Classic design fixed position front seats feature race-derived lightweight construction with hardshell seatbacks that pivot forward for easy rear access. The seats are covered in black leather with houndstooth inserts, embossed Lightspeed logo, and custom Lightspeed branded aluminum seat supports. The seats and surrounding black interior are trimmed in silver seat stitching. A pair of adjustable headrests are fitted to the front seats while the foldable rear seats and interior door panels are trimmed in matching materials. Delightful details continue throughout the interior including a Lightspeed Classic dashboard emblem depicting the #8 build, lightweight fabric door pulls, a beautifully crafted exposed mechanical shifter with satin silver shift knob, Momo “Prototipo” steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, and a smartphone compatible audio system. The engine compartment continues the themes of exceptional preparation, visual delight, and design excellence. The polished alloy risers that form the induction system in particular stand out as a striking feature of the engine compartment. Paint quality in the engine compartment is beautifully presented, backed by excellent finishes to the exposed air-cooling fan, hoses, lines, and wiring all of which have been efficiently laid out including premium components and properly finished castings. The front storage compartment is also finished with the same level of refinement and quality reflective of Porsche factory excellence reimagined in this Lightspeed Classic 911. The underside is exemplary in presentation showing beautifully maintained castings, excellent finishes, and minor evidence of use since completion. As one might expect the driving manners are fantastic, rewarding, and visceral. The rebuilt engine is rated by Lightspeed Classic at 320 hp which is more than enough power to deliver eye-watering jaunts to freeway speeds. The GT3 gearbox is fantastic with perfect gear spacing for canyon road carving, backed by the confidence of modern Porsche brakes. Everything about the combination of engineering excellence and legacy 911 design come together seamlessly in this captivating Lightspeed Carrera 2. This car is accompanied by a book of photos documenting the Lightspeed build process, selected service records since completion, import documentation, and two sets of keys. Please note that this Porsche is no longer equipped with the necessary emissions equipment for California testing. The car is offered as a 49-State vehicle available to out of State residents or licensed California dealers. This Lightspeed Classic Porsche 911 is a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the most exciting and dynamic combinations of the Porsche 911 driving experience - reimagined by premier German Porsche enthusiasts. Commissioned as the eighth example, licensed and titled in North America, this exceptional and unique Porsche 911 is ready to be driven and shown as a bold and compelling combination of legacy sporting excellence and contemporary German engineering. 1990 Porsche Lightspeed Classic 911 Carrera 2 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1979 Ford Escort RS 2000 Custom

    It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS2000 Mk2 was launched, the term 'RS' had grown to mean something a bit special. In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; 'Fishnet' Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13″ alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black. Most recently it's had a new head gasket, water pump, thermostat and a full service. A new clutch was fitted in August and the rear axle overhauled. This striking RS2000 is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. 1979 Ford Escort RS 2000 Custom Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1990 Porsche Schuppan 962 CR

    Porsche's 962 was the most successful endurance race vehicle of all time, and in the early 1990s, F1 driver and Le Mans champion Vern Schuppan had the notion to make a road-legal version of it. This legendary hypercar would soon be known as the Schuppan 962CR. Vern Schuppan had a distinguished career in racing. He transitioned from driving karts to Formula 5000 to Indy cars and F1 over the 1970s and 1980s. In 1983, he won Le Mans as a works Porsche driver at the wheel of a Porsche 956 Rothmans with co-drivers Hurley Haywood and Al Holbert. His relationship with Porsche allowed him to develop his own project to turn the 962 into a road car. The core design and running gear of the 962 were to be used in Schuppan's concept for this new automobile, which would be coupled with a specially manufactured carbon fiber chassis by Reynard. The 600-horsepower 6-cylinder twin turbo Porsche engines were built to IMSA specifications. The bodywork was made of carbon fiber, according to a special design by Mike Simco, and leather bucket seats along with other modifications were added to make the vehicle more road-worthy. Performance was mind-boggling, with a top speed of 230 mph and a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. In 1994, it was said to be the most expensive road automobile, with a price tag of US$1.5 million. Regrettably, Schuppan's firm VSL shut down after just six automobiles were completed due to a combination of high manufacturing costs. Today, only four surviving examples are known to exist. Built-in 1991, this 962CR was the prototype and development vehicle for the proposed production run. It stands out from the other Schuppan 962 vehicles because it was constructed using an ex-Omron TS-01 ACT carbon fiber chassis that had participated in the 1990 Le Mans race. This vehicle was featured in advertising collateral and the press at the time. The CR01 went into private hands after serving as the VSL's premier marketing vehicle. The expert group “Group C” maintained and updated it. The history file that goes with it describes the projects and significant expenses. Trevor Crisp, a former Group C employee who is now with Katana and one of the car's constructors, looked after the vehicle when a private individual owned it. A few decades later, the penultimate owner, a British man living in France, had the engine rebuilt and dyno tested. When the present owner bought the automobile from him, he immediately started working on a complete restoration. The automobile was dismantled and examined. The car's safety-critical components have all undergone crack testing and have either been replaced or repaired. To achieve a better fit and a better finish, the bodywork was completely stripped down to bare carbon. It has been repainted in Lapis blue, a Porsche color. Following a partial disassembly, the car was meticulously reassembled and subjected to dyno testing, with power graphs available as evidence. At this time, the twin Turbos also underwent comprehensive rebuilding. During the engine's removal from the vehicle, an upgraded alternator configuration and pulley arrangement were introduced, enabling the incorporation of an air-conditioning system—a first for this car model. Despite assertions in Schuppan literature that these vehicles were originally equipped with air conditioning, historical reality indicated otherwise. Today, the driver can luxuriate in the comfort of functional air conditioning, supplemented by external airflow through an upper bonnet intake. The gearbox underwent a thorough disassembly, inspection, and subsequent reconstruction. Notably, no wear was detected on the gears. The chassis was assessed and found to be in impeccable condition, necessitating only a polishing to restore its initial luster. Streamlining future maintenance, quick-release wiring connectors were integrated to facilitate the detachment of the engine and gearbox assembly from the chassis. The initial bag tank was substituted with a new unit. The suspension components—uprights, calipers, and wishbones—underwent crack testing, followed by a meticulous stripping, repainting, and reassembly process. Fresh bearings and seals were installed throughout. The bespoke stainless steel exhaust system and intake plenums were meticulously polished to a show-quality finish. Interior modifications included the lowered positioning of seats to accommodate taller drivers and passengers exceeding 6 feet in height. A new windscreen and side glass were commissioned from Pilkington to enhance driver visibility. Additionally, the steering wheel was outfitted with a new quick-release mechanism to facilitate closer proximity to the driver and easier ingress and egress. The interior underwent a complete re-trimming process in black leather. Advanced enhancements incorporated a reverse camera featuring an LCD screen located in the traditional rear-view mirror position. Electronically adjustable side mirrors have been introduced as well. Lighting was comprehensively modernized by integrating a more efficient blend of halogen and LED units. All four wheels underwent a comprehensive restoration, with new barrels and hardware installed and new tires fitted. In its current state, the vehicle exudes the essence of a fully operational 1990s Hypercar. Notably, these updates are implemented without compromising the inherent originality of the car. Chassis number one, perhaps the purest supercar ever made, is also one of the rarest road-legal supercars ever made. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a 962CR, giving its future owner the chance to own and appreciate a genuine blue-chip investment.

This legendary hypercar would soon be known as the Schuppan 962CR. Vern Schuppan had a distinguished career in racing.

  • 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS Club Sport

    The Porsche 924 was initially developed between Volkswagen and Porsche to replace the victorious 912 and 914. The 924 would become the new level entry car for Porsche. It was designed using a front engine and rear wheel drive layout, making it Porsche's first road-going front engine production configuration. The 924 was revealed in November of 1975, featuring a 4-cylinder normally aspirated engine. Three years later, a turbocharged version was introduced to the market, and it was an instant hit around the world. In 1981, Porsche decided to enter Group 4 racing utilizing the 924 production model. The 924 Carrera GTS variant would be 330 pounds lighter, with a lowered suspension and feature an upgraded engine producing 210 HP, the first step into making the 924 a true race car. Following this, Porsche took another step by creating 50 street legal samples named the Carrera GTS. The car featured fixed headlights, slightly wider wheel arches, and a lightweight hood held in place with hood pins. 3 of these examples competed at the 1981 24 hours of Le Mans and finished in an amazing 6th, 12th, and 13th overall. With this successful recipe, Porsche created 15 examples of the Carrera GTS Club Sport, featuring a larger 2.0L 270HP engine and additional oil coolers, making it one of the fastest production cars Porsche had ever built at the time. This example was hand-built and completed on 11 February 1981 at the Weissach facility, then shipped to Bob Hagestad Porsche-Audi in Denver, Colorado. It was sold to its first owner, Dr. William Jackson, an ophthalmologist and well-known Porsche collector from Pine Cliff, Colorado, on 23 July 1982. Known for his discerning eye and exceptional taste, Dr. Jackson was one of the first American collectors to appreciate the significance of early Porsche racing cars. At its height, Dr. Jackson’s collection included some of the most important examples of the marque, from four-cam Spyders and rear-engine prototypes to significant Turbo era 911s. After 24 years in his personal collection, Dr. Jackson sold the Carrera GTS to John Dixon at the Taj Ma Garaj in Dayton, Ohio in August 2005. The vehicle was subsequently purchased out of that collection in 2019 and entered the respected care of Garage 26. Recently serviced in 2021, the car received new engine belts, engine oil, spark plugs, etc. Upon arriving at Canepa, every vehicle is treated to the "Canepa Difference." This includes a complete mechanical inspection, services as needed, and ultimately road tested by Bruce Canepa. A concours level detail is part of the Canepa Difference, with everything cleaned and detailed to a show level finish—underbody/chassis, suspension, exterior finishes, trim, etc. The front engine compartment, trunk, as well as the interior are also cleaned, ensuring that the Carrera GTS is presented as though it had just rolled onto the showroom floor. With the remaining step being the exterior, the finish is polished and waxed to "as new" finish. This rare and very desirable 924 Carrera GTS “Club Sport” is supplied with a tool kit, spare wheel, jack, factory literature, dealer correspondence, COA, and a file of service receipts. With its incredibly low mileage, this truly rare and exciting Porsche collectible is not to be overlooked. 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS Club Sport Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1993 Porsche 911 964 RSR 3.8

    Soul stirring. They’re the only reasonable words to describe the noise which emanates from the somewhat crudely fabricated exhaust tips of the 1993 Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8. It’s less Teutonic flat-six method and more American V8 madness – a rabid roar which tears the silence to shreds and shakes you to your very core. As you dare to dig deeper into the RSR’s locker and climb higher towards its heady 7,000rpm-plus redline, you’re rewarded not only with an engulfing wave of cacophonic sound but also an astonishingly urgent turn of speed. Oh, this is a pure-bred racing car all right. But in spite of the uncompromising performance, there’s a reassuring familiarity to the driving environment in which you sit. Beyond the characteristic five circular dials, the very same you’d find in any 964 model, there’s that textbook 911 visibility, interrupted only slightly by the headlights standing proud at the front corners. You don’t hold your breath at narrow passing points in the road – because the RSR is not a wide car. In the same vein, you don’t wince every time you approach a sleeping policeman. And while the ride is certainly stiff, it’s not bone-jarring. This is a Porsche 911 all right. In the historical Porsche pecking order, the 964-generation 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 ranks very highly indeed. And rightly so. When GT racing rose from the ashes of Group C in the early 1990s, Porsche had a brainwave. With so many national and international GT racing series emerging around the world, it sought to build a racing car for privateer teams and drivers which would satisfy the regulations for all of said series. A sort of GT racing skeleton key, if you will. Porsche’s press kit for the RSR said it best. “The Carrera RSR 3.8 can be taken to the start of the 24-hour races at the Nürburgring, Spa or Le Mans. It would suit the popular Veedol endurance cup in accordance with Procar as well as ADAC GT regulations. This car could also start in Italian, Japanese or the American IMSA GT championships.” Unlike in the 1970s and ’80s, GT racing’s minimum-production homologation requirement had been dropped to just 100 units in order to attract more manufacturers to the discipline. As the FIA permitted Porsche to reach the magic number with a combination of both road-legal and race-ready cars, so the 964 Carrera RS 3.8 and RSR 3.8 were born. In the end, 51 race-ready RSRs were constructed and hand-finished at Porsche’s Weissach motorsport skunkworks. And the recipe was an intoxicating one. After the ‘regular’ 964 bodyshells had been completed on the production line in Zuffenhausen, they were withdrawn, fully seam-welded and sent to Wilfried Matter to have a full (colour-matched) roll-cage welded in – a process which took three whole days. The wizards at Porsche were then permitted to get to work on assembling the RSRs. And they left no stone unturned in their quest to hand-build the lightest, fastest and best-handling GT racing car they could. Lurking beneath the voluptuous Turbo-style hips was a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre air-cooled flat-six. The already-potent engine then received lightweight pistons, intake manifolds with six individual butterflies, dry-sump lubrication and Bosch electronic fuel injection. The interior was stripped of any road-biased creature comforts including the passenger seat and any sound deadening, lightweight aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet and the bumpers were crafted from composite, resulting in a dry weight of just over 1,200kg – crucially below the class minimum. Combined with the power figures, north of 375bhp and 285 ft-lb of torque, this propelled the Carrera RSR 3.8 from 0–62mph in 3.7sec (that’s quicker than a Ferrari F40) and onto a top speed of over 180mph. Naturally, straight-line speed wasn’t its only virtue. Thanks to an exhaustive spread of modifications to the chassis, suspension and brakes including fully adjustable competition Bilstein shocks and anti-roll bars, it handled with the sure-footed confidence and clinical finesse of a surgeon’s scalpel. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 proved to be a very successful racing car – and right out their Weissach crates, too. Outright victories came in the 1,000-kilometre races at Monza and the Nürburgring while the longer endurance classics at Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona earned the RSR stunning class wins. The Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 we’re thrilled to be offering is chassis number 496079. The order for the car was placed with Jürgen Barth in September of 1993 by the US-based German privateer racing driver/team manager Jochen Rohr during a Porsche Parade in Cincinnati. Finished in Grand Prix White, this RSR was specified with air jacks, centre-lock wheels, the Le Mans-specification exhaust and the larger 120-litre endurance fuel tank. These racier options were chosen by Rohr with a view to entering chassis 496079 in the 1994 IMSA GT Championship. It was to be a successful season for the Rohr Corporation, which ran two Carrera RSR 3.8s that year. Driven predominantly by John O’Steen, this car finished in the top five of every race it started, including podiums in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the three-hour Glen Continental at Watkins Glen. In fact, the speed and consistency of chassis 496079 earned John O’Steen third place in the IMSA GTU class championship – this car remains the highest-finishing RSR in the fiercely competitive American GT series.  After a final outing under the Rohr Corporation banner in the 1995 Daytona 24 Hours (where it finished fifth in class, no less!), this Porsche was acquired by Charles Coker’s Hendricks Porsche outfit and raced in the 1995 and ’96 IMSA GT Championships. Alex Job Racing was the next respected privateer team to prepare and run chassis 496079, contesting the 1997 season. Between 1999 and 2000, the car made four further appearances, including in the Grand Prix of Las Vegas, the curtain-closing round of the 1999 American Le Mans Series. Once time had been called on this RSR’s impressive six-year competition career, it was sold to Michael Harley, who kept the car stateside until 2007. It was only at this point chassis 496079 returned to Europe, having been acquired by Paul McLean. Paul founded GT Classics, the respected Porsche marque specialist which focuses on the lightweight models from the 1990s. McLean took the opportunity to comprehensively strip, inspect and restore this 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 to its original specification and 1994 Rohr Corporation IMSA GT Championship livery. And he clearly cherished the car, as he kept it for almost a decade, selling only in 2017 to another UK-based Porsche collector. In the five years since then, chassis 496079 has changed hands twice, been fully road-registered in the United Kingdom, issued with its Porsche Letter of Origin and featured prominently in Jürgen Barth, Norbert Franz and Robert Weber’s definitive book on the Porsche 964 Carrera RS 3.8 book. The importance of the 964 Carrera RSR in the fabled Porsche story cannot be downplayed. The timing of its arrival at the dawn of the GT racing renaissance couldn’t have come at a better time for the marque, which had arguably been the most successful name in the Group C era and was somewhat lost after the formula’s demise. The global versatility of the car, accessibility for privateer teams and subsequent success on the world’s most famous motorsport stages were the exact goals Porsche set out to achieve. In doing so, the fortunes of Porsche’s customer programme changed trajectory – a story of success that continues to this day. One of the mere 51 examples built, chassis 496079 proved the RSR’s formula’s worth. On a more objective level, we love that this factory-built racing GT racing car, which competed in two of the world’s most famous endurance races (and on multiple occasions!), can be enjoyed on the road or on the track. The driving experience may be unadulterated and raw and ferociously fast, but fundamentally, the RSR boasts many of the credentials of a Porsche 911 – a sports car designed to be approachable, ergonomically perfect and genuinely useable. As an ownership proposition today, this Porsche has all the credentials the most discerning of collectors desire. The cult-classic Californian air-cooled Porsche festival Luftgekühlt is poised to make a long-awaited return this October in Los Angeles. We can think of few cooler cars with which to rock up than this 964 Carrera RSR 3.8. And trust us when we say, there will be few Porsches present as hilariously noisy. 1993 Porsche 911 964 RSR 3.8 Girardo & Co.

  • 1957 Jaguar D-Type Recreation by Lynx

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

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

  • 1954 Jaguar XK 120 drophead

    Toulon-born singer Gilbert Bécaud would have cut quite a dash in 1950s France at the wheel of his newly acquired Jaguar XK 120 drophead coupé. Having been part of the Resistance during World War Two, Bécaud became a songwriter in 1948 and started singing himself a few years later following encouragement from Edith Piaf. He was still in his 20s when he bought this XK 120 – which is now being offered for sale at the Classic Motor Hub – and it would have been the perfect choice for the stylish young performer. Chassis number 678351 was dispatched from the Browns Lane factory in Coventry on 27 May 1954, and sold new to Bécaud via Parisian distributor Charles Delecroix. It was delivered in Pastel Blue with a blue interior, and the accompanying Heritage Certificate states that it was fitted with engine number F3194-8, body number P2616 and gearbox number JL23094. As the 1950s progressed, Bécaud began acting and an English version of his song Je t’appartiens became a hit for the Everly Brothers. It would later be covered by the likes of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and Nina Simone, while another song of his, Et Maintenant, was recorded under the title What Now My Love by Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. The XK 120 was first registered in the UK in 1989. It was imported after being acquired by Trevor Scott-Worthington, who was ‘Total Quality Manager’ for Jaguar at the time, and kept the car for 19 years. Mr. Scott-Worthington had also set up Jaguar spares specialist Coventry Auto Components in 1969. Although the car was still attractive and driving well by 2016, the then- owner decided to commission a full restoration. The work was carried out by Clanfield Coachbuilding in Oxfordshire. The bodywork was stripped to bare metal and any repair sections were finished with traditional lead-loading – as would have been done at the factory. A full engine rebuild was carried out and a new clutch assembly fitted, while a specialist ash framer replaced any woodwork that was showing signs of deterioration. Inside, the seats were in good condition and had acquired a nice patina, so the decision was taken to leave them as they were. The rest of the interior was retrimmed, including new carpets and door cards, and the rare ivory steering wheel was retained as a nice touch of European chic from the car’s time in France. The restoration process took five years, and a full photographic record is part of the history file. Coopercraft front disc brakes and a five-speed gearbox are both popular modifications that make the XK 120 a much more useable proposition in modern conditions, and this drophead coupé is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. 1954 Jaguar XK 120 drophead The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1979 Lotus Esprit S2

    "In the early-1970s, the recently appointed Tony Rudd came up with two major ideas, codenamed Project M50 and Project M70, the former became the 1974 Lotus Elite, the latter became the Esprit. The S1 Esprit was released in 1976 following halts in production and design with Colin Chapman being underwhelmed by the model version’s wind tunnel performance, with the S2 launching in 1978. As part of the advertising and marketing program, the S2 was launched featuring an infamous shot of its creator Colin Chapman perched on a Championship Gold S2 Esprit in front of his JPS logo'd Cessna Chancellor executive twin. It's the kind of image that only the 70s could pull off with any degree of normality. External differences from the S1 included new intake and cooling ducts behind the rear quarter windows, 14in Speedline alloy wheels, taillights from the Rover SD1 and an integrated front spoiler. Not known for their practicality, more helpful changes were made including relocating the battery to the rear of the car, adding an access door to the engine cover, installing wider seats and replacing the Veglia instrument cluster with individual Smiths. Following long-term (c.20 year) storage, this S2 presents in remarkably original condition in its launch colour of Championship Gold. The Marcasite faux-Suede interior presents exceptionally well, which is no easy feat as it is notoriously hard to maintain or replace. The carbs have been subject to a full rebuild and set-up by Lotus Specialists with photographic evidence, with any old/worn parts being replaced when warranted. This lovely and well cared for example is reportedly number 10 of just 27 cars built in ‘launch specification’ and has covered a warranted 62,216 (atoc) miles from new, backed up by a host of old MOTs. This S2 runs and drives very well with very minor (yet essential) modern day upgrades such as electronic ignition, improved earthing cables and a battery isolator. Esprit's are striking looking cars anyway and the rare colour of Championship Gold lifts it even further, reflected in success at a recent Shelsley Walsh Concours and numerous magazine articles featuring HLD. It's supplied with a bespoke indoor car cover, lots of invoices and related history, an owners manual and a Lotus Certificate of Provenance." 1979 Lotus Esprit S2 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1965-aston-martin-db5-convertible-1

    Of the 85 right-hand-drive DB5 Convertibles constructed, chassis DB5C/2122/R is believed to be the penultimate example built, according to correspondence from Aston Martin Tickford (available to view on file). The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6’s arrival), while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. A total of 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965 — a number that includes a mere 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. When this car first rolled off the production line, it is recorded as having been painted in Goodwood Green with a red Connolly leather interior and matching Everflex convertible hood. However, due to ongoing demand for DB5 Convertibles when production was nearing its end, the Heritage department at Aston Martin Works notes that chassis 2122/R was subsequently changed to Platinum (white) and had its Borg Warner automatic gearbox replaced by a ZF five-speed manual, thereby matching its first owner's preferences. The red leather interior remained as originally specified. This car was also equipped from the factory with optional chrome wheels, a Motorola radio, Marchal fog lamps, plus a driver’s seat pan lowered by one inch. The 1966 invoice from its selling dealer, H.R. Owen’s Sloane Street, London, shows it was sold new for the sum of £4,481 to Mr Frederick Weldon of Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, with the registration number KLE 471D. Mr Weldon kept the car until 1983, at which point it was purchased by Mr Dirk Ebeling, a co-founder of the Aston Martin Owners’ Club Germany. Recent discussions with Mr Ebeling confirm that he bought the car from the first owner, Frederick Weldon, before selling to his friend Serge Chabbey in Switzerland on the proviso that as and when Chabbey decides to sell the car that he calls Ebeling. Fortunately for Ebeling this happened in the mid 90s and the much-missed convertible returned to Germany. During Ebeling’s second ownership he was keen to keep the feel and originality of the interior though at the same time restoring the rest of the car comprehensively both cosmetically and mechanically. The extensive work includes a complete engine rebuild to 4.2 litres’ capacity using a replacement block (the original was badly corroded) and fitting hardened valve seats for unleaded petrol and latterly complete refurbishment of the bodywork. The only notified deviations from factory specification are 16" wheels and a Harvey Bailey handling kit. The current owner acquired the car in 2018, whereupon it joined an impressive collection and although very few miles have been added, it has been carefully maintained, most recently serviced in May 2025. This exceptionally well-documented DB5 comes with a massive history file that includes numerous invoices — many dating back to Mr Weldon's ownership — reflecting its no-expense-spared care and maintenance. The file also contains its 1966-issued “buff” UK logbook, a copy of its guarantee form, its factory build sheet, period correspondence from Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd and H.R. Owen, the original warranty document, the order form, and the invoice. The car is further accompanied by an original DB5 Instruction Book. Timelessly styled and instantly recognisable, this DB5 Convertible stands as a superb, immensely drivable, rare example of one of the marque’s most iconic models in the more desirable, drop top configuration. 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Convertible Will Stone Historic Cars Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
