Most people know the Jaguar E-Type as an elegant two-seater. But did you know this British style icon was also built as a 2+2? A classy way of saying: with rear seats and a touch of extra comfort. To make that possible, the 2+2 came with an extended wheelbase. A bit more legroom – ideal for longer journeys. And yet... not a shred of the original character was lost. This is and always will be a true Jagggggg. It’s hard to describe, but words like rebellious, refined, and irresistibly charming certainly fit. This E-Type, in the enchanting Midnight Blue, made its way to the Netherlands in 1991. Since 2009, it has been cherished by its most recent owner – a true enthusiast. Under that long bonnet beats a 4.2-litre inline-six engine that runs silky smooth and has been lovingly maintained. The automatic gearbox shifts effortlessly – the result of a careful overhaul and years of dedication. Can you picture it? Morning sunlight kissing the tarmac along the Côte d’Azur, misty peaks in the Scottish Highlands, engine echoes through an American canyon... or simply a quiet dike road in the Dutch countryside. Wherever you are: step in, grab the wheel, hear the soft purr of the engine – the road is yours. “I want that car and I want it now.” – Frank Sinatra 1967 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 FHC Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1965 Porsche 913
Few sports cars have proven as versatile as Porsche's timeless 911, a model that has proven itself capable of being a true grand tourer as well as a rally and circuit car over the past 50 years. A "modern classic" if ever there was one, the 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 901, but shortly after it went into production in 1964 became the 911, following a complaint from Peugeot, which had filed a complaint about the use of the central zero for its models. The rear overhung engine architecture of its 356 predecessor was retained, but the 911 used a monocoque structure for its construction and abandoned the Volkswagen-derived suspension of the 356 in favor of a more modern strut and trailing arm McPherson system. In its first incarnation, Porsche's 1991cc air-cooled, single overhead cam flat six developed 130 bhp. When Porsche began to look at ways to improve its successful 356 model in the mid-1950s, it quickly became apparent that a simple evolution would not be enough. The potential changes to the 356 were such that an entirely new model had to be developed. The new Porsche would offer more space for occupants, as well as sufficient storage space for a set of golf clubs. The performance level of the new model was to match that of the 356 Carrera 2, while retaining the refinement of the 'normal' 356. The basic platform layout was to be retained, as well as the familiar Porsche silhouette. Ferdinand, Ferry Porsche's eldest son, was responsible for the design, developing the chassis and bodywork, while his cousin, Ferdinand Piëch, developed the air-cooled flat-six. The first advertisements for the new car stated: "... to design and build - almost without compromise - the ultimate car for getting from one point to another in the fastest, safest and most enjoyable way possible." The 911 is new in every detail, but it is undeniably a Porsche. Thanks to Ferdinand Piëch, the 901/911 was designed as a racing car from the beginning. This is particularly clear in the engine design with its dry sump and overflow Solex carburetors, both of which were developed in racing to make the engine run more smoothly. The overflow carburetors were unfortunately to prove unsuitable for road use. As early as 1964, the factory had equipped ten 904s with the six-cylinder 911 and named them 906s (which is the prefix of their chassis number). This led to confusion with the 906 Carrera 6, so the name 904/6 was preferred. These 904-906s were used to test the 901 engine for competition use in the 911. As it seemed to work well, it was decided not to wait any longer and to enter a 904/6 in the 49th Targa Florio. The race was won by a Ferrari 275 P2. The Italians did well to savour this victory, because the next five editions were won by Porsches. Second place went to an eight-cylinder Spyder 904 Kanguruh followed by a 904/6 (Maglioli-Linge) with a 901 engine. This was the first race appearance of the six-cylinder 911 in a version boosted to 210 hp at 8,000 rpm (901/20 engine). During the course of the year, this engine proved to be remarkably reliable. The green light was therefore given for the creation of a sports version of the 901 for the 911S. The 911, a sedan? At the time of the 911's racing debut, it was still possible to enter identical cars powered by different engines in different classes. Of course, this required discussions with FIA officials. Fortunately, Porsche could count on the diplomatic skills of Huschke von Hanstein to obtain homologation for the 11 and 911L in Group 2 (touring cars) and the 911T and 911S in Grand Touring (Group 3). Even a lightweight, unbroken 911T like a 911S is approved as a GT car with a dry weight of 923 kg. The reason for the FIA's tolerance is that the first competition 911s were very similar to the production models, at least until the A-series. The only changes were in ride height and torsion bar settings. The gearboxes could be fitted with gears suitable for all kinds of competition. From the point of view of the regulations, Porsche had an unquestionable advantage because the FIA considered the 911 to be a sedan, which even allowed it to take part in certain races where sports cars were forbidden. The commercial benefits were nil as the public considered the victories to be unfair, as the 911s were obviously GTs. The only drawback was that in Group 2 (Touring) and Group 3 (GT), the 911s could not benefit from any increase in engine capacity above 2 liter. Of course, the 911s entered in the Prototype Class could have engines with increased displacement within the limits of the regulations. If the increase in displacement was forbidden, it was of course possible to increase the power. For this purpose, Porsche had obtained the approval of "kits". For the 911 and 911L, they made it possible to easily reach 160 hp. The engine was then called "Rallye" or 2000R. For the 911T and S, the factory supplied an engine identical to that of the Carrera 6, but without the dual ignition. An even more advanced version (with titanium connecting rods) was available, which was reserved for the 911T racing cars. Rallye de Monte-Carlo 1965 This year, to everyone's surprise, a 904 finished second overall in the 34th Monte Carlo Rally. It was driven by Böhringer (a private hotelier and former Mercedes racer) with Wütherich (James Dean's mechanic) as co-driver. The winning car was a Mini Cooper, much better suited to the terrible winter conditions of 1965, and no one foresaw that Porsches would ever beat the Mini. Just as no one noticed the participation of a 911, the fiftieth 911 to come off the Zuffenhausen production line, whose baptism of fire in competition was the first of its kind. Driven by the extremely experienced factory driver Herbert Linge and engineer Peter Falk, it finished an astonishing fifth overall and second in class. Season 1965 Porsche's participation in the other rounds of the European Rally Championship was a failure. It must be said that Huschke von Hanstein did not consider this to be an activity worthy of great financial effort. Even when rallying becomes a Porsche specialty, it will be with derisory means compared to those devoted to prototypes. It is true that the publicity given to Porsche by the results of the 917 prototypes will somewhat overshadow the rally victories of the small 911. It took all the persuasion and talent of Vic Elford to get Huschke von Hanstein to admit that this was an opportunity not to be missed. 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966 Another historic event that goes unnoticed: the first participation of a 911 at Le Mans. It was a virtually original 911S, 1965 model (chassis 303.355), which was entered in the GT category (under number 35) by Jacques Dewez. Driven by Kerguen and "Franc" (Dewez), it finished fourteenth in the distance classification and twelfth in the performance index at an average speed of 159 km/h. At the end of the race, it was put up for sale and left as it had arrived, by road. Our car Produced in April 1965 and delivered by the Hann dealership in Stuttgart, we find our 911 in 2008 in the hands of Glynn EVANS in England. 300915 is one of the first left-hand-drive 911s (the chassis numbering sequence begins with 300001). It was one of the first short-wheelbase models, one of the most popular types among the historic rally racing siblings. It then changed hands in 2009, and Oliver Benjamin became its owner, entering the car at GOODWOOD REVIVAL for the Fordwater Trophy, driven by his friend and Porsche dealer Glynn Evans, then on numerous occasions in GT&SCC, and Masters meetings. The car changed hands and was raced in France by ex-F1 driver Thierry Boutsen during a Tour Auto, before being acquired by its current owner, who raced it in VdeV and at Le Mans Classic. Restored by Sportwagen from body to bare metal some years ago as the file state, then regularly maintained as attested by its invoice file, it's the ideal car for many historic races, as it still has a valid FIA PTH, or for rallies and outings with friends. This is an opportunity to acquire a superb 1965 Porsche 911 racing car! Delivered with a fine set of spare parts, it is eligible for the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic and above all the highly competitive 2.0L Cup championship. 1965 Porsche 911 Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1963 Maserati Sebring 1
This matching-numbers Maserati Sebring was built at the Modena factory on 13 September 1963 and first registered on 23 October, and it has still had only four owners from new. Its original custodian was René Borgerhoff Mulder, who was based in Wassenaar – a small town just north of The Hague in The Netherlands. Borgerhoff Mulder was a wartime pilot who was reputedly a friend of Prince Bernhard, and competed in the Tulip Rally and Monte Carlo Rally on a number of occasions. He would regularly act as co-driver on such events for Hans Maasland, whose family owned the Maserati dealership in Voorburg from where Borgerhoff Mulder bought this Sebring. The documents from Maserati Classiche state that chassis number 01937 was originally finished in Blue Sera with red interior and had the five-speed ZF manual gearbox. It was also specified with the sought-after air-conditioning and Borrani wire wheels. Borgerhoff Mulder kept the Maserati until 1987, when it was sold to a Mr Stradmeier, who was a dentist and also based in Wassenaar. During his ownership, the car was restored by the Maasland dealership – a process that included a bare-metal respray and engine rebuild – and when he passed away it was inherited by his children. It changed hands again in 2011 but still didn’t move far, its next owner being based in Leiden, only a few kilometres up the road from Wassenaar. In 2016, the Sebring was sold to a UK-based enthusiast who had previously owned a number of Maseratis as well as a Ferrari 330 GTC. During his time with the car, it has been maintained regardless of cost by renowned specialist McGrath Maserati. Invoices totalling more than £40,000 from this period include a top-end rebuild of the engine. More recent expenditure includes an overhaul of the fuel system and air-conditioning, plus a new clutch and starter motor. The six-cylinder engine has been converted to run on triple Weber carburettors but the original Lucas fuel-injection system comes with the car should a future owner wish to have it refitted. Presented in its original colour combination, this Maserati Sebring has been fastidiously maintained and is offered for sale with a Maserati Classiche Certificate and a copy of the original delivery note, plus a wealth of invoices and receipts. As one of only 348 Series 1 cars, it is a rare and distinctive choice of Italian Grand Tourer. 1963 Maserati Sebring The Classic Motor Hub 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 This matching-numbers Maserati Sebring was built at the Modena factory on 13 September 1963 and first registered on 23 October, and it has still had only four owners from new. Its original custodian was René Borgerhoff Mulder, who was based in Wassenaar – a small town just north of The Hague in The Netherlands. Borgerhoff Mulder was a wartime pilot who was reputedly a friend of Prince Bernhard, and competed in the Tulip Rally and Monte Carlo Rally on a number of occasions. He would regularly act as co-driver on such events for Hans Maasland, whose family owned the Maserati dealership in Voorburg from where Borgerhoff Mulder bought this Sebring. The documents from Maserati Classiche state that chassis number 01937 was originally finished in Blue Sera with red interior and had the five-speed ZF manual gearbox. It was also specified with the sought-after air-conditioning and Borrani wire wheels. Borgerhoff Mulder kept the Maserati until 1987, when it was sold to a Mr Stradmeier, who was a dentist and also based in Wassenaar. During his ownership, the car was restored by the Maasland dealership – a process that included a bare-metal respray and engine rebuild – and when he passed away it was inherited by his children. It changed hands again in 2011 but still didn’t move far, its next owner being based in Leiden, only a few kilometres up the road from Wassenaar. In 2016, the Sebring was sold to a UK-based enthusiast who had previously owned a number of Maseratis as well as a Ferrari 330 GTC. During his time with the car, it has been maintained regardless of cost by renowned specialist McGrath Maserati. Invoices totalling more than £40,000 from this period include a top-end rebuild of the engine. More recent expenditure includes an overhaul of the fuel system and air-conditioning, plus a new clutch and starter motor. The six-cylinder engine has been converted to run on triple Weber carburettors but the original Lucas fuel-injection system comes with the car should a future owner wish to have it refitted. Presented in its original colour combination, this Maserati Sebring has been fastidiously maintained and is offered for sale with a Maserati Classiche Certificate and a copy of the original delivery note, plus a wealth of invoices and receipts. As one of only 348 Series 1 cars, it is a rare and distinctive choice of Italian Grand Tourer.

- 1957 Maserati 200SI by Fantuzzi
WINDS OF CHANGE In 1955, Maserati began a new phase of racing sports car production, segueing away from the aging A6GCS/53 and A6G/54. While the time-honored inline six-cylinder engine was retained as the basis for the 3-liter 300S, that engine was modified into a twin-plug four-cylinder variant with two different displacements of 1.5 and 2 liters, resulting in the respective 150S and 200S models. Both racecars were clothed in sensuous open coachwork by Medardo Fantuzzi that was characterized by sweeping fender lines, a protruding small-mouth grille, and a trailing head fairing, lending the cars an aesthetic appeal worthy of their competition-bred mechanicals. Despite some early teething problems, the 200S was piloted to a 2nd-place finish at the 1956 Gran Premio di Bari and an overall victory at the Gran Premio di Roma by the famed Jean Behra, and Stirling Moss and Cesare Perdisa finished 2nd overall at the 1956 Supercortemaggiore at Monza. In 1957, the FIA introduced new Appendix C regulations that compelled Maserati to modify the 200S with a full-width windscreen, two functioning doors, and provision for a spare wheel, after which the model was rechristened as the 200SI (with the suffix standing for Sport Internazionale). Later cars featured 2.5-liter engines and were renamed as the 250S, after which many of the original 2-liter cars were privately upgraded to 250S-specification engines. By the end of production in 1957, approximately just 28 examples of all the 200 and 250-spec chassis were built, and these cars remain prized by collectors for their high-revving, torque-happy performance and voluptuous coachwork cues. Ideal for enjoyment at vintage racing and touring events, these unique racing spyders represent a golden age in the evolution of the Trident, when boutique hand-built production resulted in some of the most striking European sports-racers ever conceived. GENTLEMEN PREFER REDS Benefitting from 14 years of fastidious care by the current caretaker, this beautifully presented 200SI is one of only a handful of cars that retain a correct 2-liter engine, resulting in a highly desirable state of authenticity. Chassis number 2412 completed factory assembly in February 1957, finished in rosso paint over black upholstered seats. Imported to the United States by the well-known Chicago-based dealer Harry Woodnorth, the Maserati was sold new to the legendary American racing privateer “Gentleman” Jim Kimberly, who was the scion of the Kimberly-Clark fortune (responsible for such household products as Kleenex tissues). A strong proponent of amateur racing, Kimberly was an early member and eventual president of the SCCA who went on to become the 1954 SCCA C-Modified class champion with his 4.5-liter Ferrari. Kimberly had the 200SI repainted in his signature shade of Kimberly Red, a color he had formulated with the help of none other than GM design legend Harley Earl, and which he applied to most of the sport-racing Ferraris and Maseratis that he raced. The 200SI then debuted in competition at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 1957, with Ted Boynton, Kimberly, and famed journalist/racing driver Denise McCluggage sharing driving duties. Unfortunately, 2412 was forced to retire because of a gearbox failure after 58 laps. The Maserati made three additional starts in 1957, all at Elkhart Lake, and during the last of these races Kimberly was joined by the accomplished Jack McAfee. During 1958, chassis number 2412 started seven events, including the Grand Prix of Cuba in February, and the 12 Hours of Sebring a month later. Yet despite Kimberly’s best efforts, the 200SI struggled to finish these races due to various mechanical issues. Driver Jay Middleton actually experienced the most success during this time, finishing 9th in class at Elkhart Lake in June 1958, and 3rd overall at the same track a month later. In May 1958 Kimberly consigned the Maserati back to Harry Woodnorth, to sell for him and ensure the car found its next caretaker. While exact ownership history during the 1960s is currently unknown, by the early 1970s the car was owned by William Baker of Illinois. In December 1976 the 200SI was sold to Dr. Elliot Siegel of Chicago, and he went on to retain possession until November 1993, accounting for 17 years of dedicated single-owner care. Acquired at that time by Jay Jessup of Charlottesville, Virginia, the Maserati was immediately inspected by Mike DePudja of Denver, Colorado, for the purpose of an extensive restoration, which was documented with photos and invoices now available on file. This work included replacing the original body panels with reproduction coachwork in proper aluminum alloy, as the owner intended to use the SI in vintage events but was keen to preserve the Fantuzzi body (the original panels are separately included in the sale). Upon completion of the refurbishment, Mr. Jessup enjoyed the car in the 2000 Monterey Historic Races. In January 2005 the Maserati was acquired by Dr. Wolf Zweifler of Germany, and as demonstrated by further invoices he retained Tommaso Gelmini’s GPS Classic in Soragna, Italy, to maintain the car and prepare it for event use, including the 2005 Mille Miglia Storica. A year later, following a documented inspection by marque expert Steve Hart, the 200SI was sold to enthusiast Nick Colonna, who entered the car in a host of events through early 2009, including the Shell Maserati Historic Challenge, the Cavallino Classic, and the Monterey Historics. During his ownership the car was carefully maintained by Bert Skidmore’s Intrepid Motorsports of Reno, Nevada. Acquired by the consignor in October 2009, the Maserati has continued to enjoy fastidious care over the last 14 years, including an engine rebuild by Mike DePudja from 2013 to 2014. The 200SI has not been used in any vintage racing events since the engine rebuild, suggesting that the car is well-positioned for a fresh chapter in its competition career. Chassis number 2412 remains eligible for major events including the Mille Miglia Storica, the California Mille, the Colorado Grand, and the Monterey Historics, and it is equally suitable for presentation at high-level concours d’elegance and marque gatherings. It promises its future caretaker the considerable thrill of blasting through twisting vintage circuits, or the rapture of admiring its beguiling curves. 1957 Maserati 200SI by Fantuzzi RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This particular example, Chassis # 12104010022163 is said to have spent most of its life in CA with few owners. Benefiting from the dry climate, this example remained a running/driving example that by the late 1990’s had received a sympathetic cosmetic restoration and was retained as a driver with the long time owner. It was then acquired in the early 2000’s by the current owner and during their ownership further restorative efforts were carried out on the interior and updates were also completed mechanically. It was one of many in a collection of sports cars and was seldom used. Inspired by the likes of the German Restoration house Mechatronik, well known for their modern Mercedes-Benz conversions, the decision was made to complete a modern conversion on this 190SL. Over the course of nearly three years, from 2019 to 2022, this 190 SL had its 1.9 L straight-four engine replaced with the 2.3L straight-four engine from a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E. The conversion was completed by Ragtops and Roadsters, a well known restoration shop known for their showing winning restorations. A total investment surpassing $150,000 was made to ensure this conversion was completed to the highest standards. Numerous parts had to be adapted or fabricated from scratch to make the swap feasible with the entire process having been documented in 85 pages of detailed invoices. This was, in the end, a very well engineered conversion completed to a very high standard with a lot of miles added to properly sort and diagnose any loose ends or overlooked aspects. Today it is turn key and impressive to say the least. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive all of the owner’s manuals, the original jack and spare tire, the original 1.9 L straight-four engine, and all of the service records on file. While not original, the conversion on this 190SL brings this car into a completely different realm of reliability and usability, providing a unique experience that retains all of the wonderful looks one seeks in a classic Mercedes-Benz. 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

With its combination of a powerful, fuel-injected V8 engine and sharp styling, the Aston Martin DBS is rightly renowned as being one of the finest GT cars of its era, and this particular car is presented in exceptional condition throughout. Supplied new by HR Owen on 14 October 1971, it was specified with the three-speed automatic transmission, which is perfectly suited to both the torque-rich 5.3-litre engine and the car’s ‘grand touring’ nature. In recent years, the DBS has benefitted from a full restoration by renowned marque specialist Aston Engineering. The process is thoroughly documented in the car’s history file and included extensive work on the body ahead of a bare-metal respray in its original colour of Pacific Blue. The front and rear suspension was also fully rebuilt, and Aston Engineering fitted its handling-kit upgrade as well as a rear telescopic-damper conversion. The braking system and power steering were overhauled, the differential was rebuilt, and a complete stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The finishing touch was a full interior retrim in Autocalf Dark Tan leather with Wilton Sandstorm carpet, and there’s a nice period touch in the shape of a Radiomobile 8-Track player. Beautifully finished throughout, and featuring well-chosen upgrades that further enhance the driving experience, this matching-numbers Aston Martin DBS is a superb example of this muscular British classic. 1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 The Classic Motor Hub 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 With its combination of a powerful, fuel-injected V8 engine and sharp styling, the Aston Martin DBS is rightly renowned as being one of the finest GT cars of its era, and this particular car is presented in exceptional condition throughout. Supplied new by HR Owen on 14 October 1971, it was specified with the three-speed automatic transmission, which is perfectly suited to both the torque-rich 5.3-litre engine and the car’s ‘grand touring’ nature. In recent years, the DBS has benefitted from a full restoration by renowned marque specialist Aston Engineering. The process is thoroughly documented in the car’s history file and included extensive work on the body ahead of a bare-metal respray in its original colour of Pacific Blue. The front and rear suspension was also fully rebuilt, and Aston Engineering fitted its handling-kit upgrade as well as a rear telescopic-damper conversion. The braking system and power steering were overhauled, the differential was rebuilt, and a complete stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The finishing touch was a full interior retrim in Autocalf Dark Tan leather with Wilton Sandstorm carpet, and there’s a nice period touch in the shape of a Radiomobile 8-Track player. Beautifully finished throughout, and featuring well-chosen upgrades that further enhance the driving experience, this matching-numbers Aston Martin DBS is a superb example of this muscular British classic.

- 1968 Mercedes-Benu 280SL
European Specification 2.8-liter inline six -- 170 HP Rare 4-speed manual transmission In its original color combo, Blue with Bamboo Leather Complete rotisserie restoration by Coachworks/Rudi & Company Hardtop, spare wheel/tire, toolkit, manuals, and extensive documentation Mercedes-Benz introduced the 230SL, a brand-new roadster that would eventually replace the 190SL and 300SL, in the spring of 1963. The 230SL "Pagoda" was an exquisite two-seat convertible with sharp lines and upright headlights that was developed by Paul Bracq and adhered to Mercedes' new design philosophy. The 230SL was given a large three-pointed star in its grill as a nod to the 300SL, which was already recognizable. The hood, door skins, trunk lid, and tonneau cover were all made of aluminum to reduce weight. Due to the optional removable hardtop's slightly concave roof, which resembled a pagoda, the moniker "Pagoda" was immediately embraced. These SLs are now regarded as masterpieces of design, despite being divisive at the time of their introduction. When Mercedes unveiled the 280SL, the third and last generation of the "Pagoda," in 1967, it became clear that some automobiles don't change; they only get better. After evaluating a 280SL in 1968, Road & Track stated, "The Mercedes-Benz 280SL, the latest iteration of a line that started as the 230SL in 1963, is the same as ever, just better." According to its manufacturer, the 280SL is "a Grand Tourer in the traditional sense" and "a unique combination of sports car performance and saloon car comfort (a Mercedes-Benz saloon of course)." The highly regarded American motoring magazine praised it as "alone in the field" for those who value engineering, finesse, and high-quality construction. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis (W113) with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8-liter version of Mercedes' robust inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection, a combination producing 160 horsepower in US-market variants, and 170 horsepower in European models such as this vehicle. The majority of US models were equipped with 4-speed automatics with only a rare few being made with a 4-speed manual as opposed to the European models which saw a larger quantity of manual transmissions. This specific 280SL is undoubtedly a cut above the rest. First purchased by a Canadian air force pilot, this vehicle was acquired during his station in Germany. Upon returning back to Canada he imported the vehicle with him where he continued his ownership for well over a decade until selling it to its second owner who after a few years sold the car to the most recent owner. The most recent owner owned this 280SL for almost 30 years, receiving it in 1994. He was a retired pilot, who stored the vehicle in his hangar and would only bring the vehicle out on days when there was no chance of rain. 2016 marked the beginning of a two-year-long 100% rotisserie restoration performed by Coachworks and Rudi & Co. and meticulously overseen by the owner. During the restoration, he would visit on a biweekly basis and although he did not perform the restoration himself, he played a huge role in its success. He personally flew over difficult to source original parts for the project regularly. Here at Canepa, we are no strangers to restorations of the highest level and can speak from experience that this 280SL fits the bill. All aspects of the vehicle were brought back to exactly the way they left the factory 55 years ago. During the exhaustive restoration, the owner displayed acute attention to detail to a level that is rarely seen, pushing Coachworks and Rudi & Co. to perform a restoration beyond their already high-level award-winning usual. Every nut and bolt was inspected and no aspect of the vehicle was overlooked. All mechanical components were inspected, reconditioned, restored, or replaced as needed. A complete engine overhaul was performed utilizing all new internal engine components. Once completely stripped down, the vehicle was restored to perfection utilizing laser precision. When painting the car, the same degree of accuracy was exemplified making sure everything was period correct. All body gaps once painted were uniformly set at 4mm. Anything that would or wouldn’t have been seen on the original car was taken care of. As a testament to the attention to detail, the hood features streaks and paint that runs toward the lower half. In their earlier years, Mercedes would dry their hoods by hanging them so the owner had the same done during the painting process to mirror the original paint job. All new factory glass and a mixture of replated and N.O.S. parts were used for the chrome. The original Bamboo Leather interior upholstery and carpets were completely restored and go perfectly with the recently completed paint creating this stunning color combo. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive an award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface. This 280SL passed our inspection flawlessly, as expected with how well restored and taken care of the vehicle was. Bruce has only seen three 280SL’s restored to this level, with one being a 280SL Canepa restored nearly 20 years ago. Do not miss this extremely rare chance to own what might well be the finest example of a European spec 1968 Mercedes Benz 280SL in its marvelous original color combo and the highly sought 4-speed manual transmission. 1968 Mercedes-Benu 280SL Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Boano
Model history Ferrari had been doing well through the 1950s with the 250 series of road and racing cars. The company’s successful early line included many variants and are characterized by their use of the Lampredi or Colombo designed 3 liter V12 engine. From the mid fifties, Ferrari’s road car production became important to the company’s future stability. Carrozzeria Pinin Farina was not yet able to meet Ferrari’s increased demand and thus Carrozzeria Boano was entrusted to expand the 250 GT series. The Ferrari 250 GT Boano replaced the 250 GT Europa and represented a significant departure for Ferrari. Driver and passenger comfort were taken seriously; the interior was more luxurious, seats were broader and there was less noise intrusion. By this time there was also synchromesh in the gearbox, which was exactly what was expected by the increasingly important North American market. The Boano-bodies cars were distinguished from later cars by the roof being lower and by the existence of quarter-light windows. From 1958 onwards the body was built by Ellena who raised the roof by about 3 inches. This example Retains its matching number engine Well maintained in an important Dutch Ferrari collection One of only 88 ‘low-roof’ examples Restored in 1998 This lovely 250 GT Boano was built in 1956 is one of some 88 cars manufactured. Many of them were used in competition events with gentlemen drivers. The chassis was very similar to the 250 GT Tour de France and the Tipo 128 B engine delivered 240 bhp so the car could be competitive, although the car was heavier as the competition cars due to the steel body on the Boano. The bodywork is in excellent condition with very good panel fit as the Boano’s were well built. This car shows no previous accidents and has a well kept and very clean underside with the original floorpans. We are currently researching the car’s early history, but quite early the car arrived in America and was owned by a Mr. Steve Barny and then by Robert Spangler of the Prancing Horse Farm in Baltimore. In 1983 the car was owned by Steve Cottingham. In 1997 the car appeared at auction in the UK and in 2000 the car was sold to a Mr Alberto Garnerone. He kept the car until his estate sold the car in 2013. The next owner is the current caretaker, a long time and important Ferrari collector. During the current ownership the car was used sparingly but well maintained. A number of cars were in period converted to other arguably more desirable, competition-orientated series from the 250 family. Fortunately, this car was not converted to a racing type car, making it a rare and original survivor. The paintwork is still presentable and shows some patina after more than 20 years. The Boano styling is elegant and the two-tone paintwork suits the model very well. The interior with the TdF style sport seats is in very nice condition. The engine starts well and shows hardly any smoke and has good oil pressure. The gearbox is a delight to use. The grey painted Borrani wheels give the car the sporting appearance. This must present a tempting offer, considering for example a 250 GT Lusso is much more expensive and significantly less rare while the Boano retains much more of its racing DNA. This car is a great 12-cilinder Ferrari to be used in rally, touring & club events or in the Mille Miglia for which it is eligible. This example deserves a new great home where it can be further enjoyed. 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Boano Very Superior Old Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The company’s successful early line included many variants and are characterized by their use of the Lampredi or Colombo designed 3 liter V12 engine. From the mid fifties, Ferrari’s road car production became important to the company’s future stability. Carrozzeria Pinin Farina was not yet able to meet Ferrari’s increased demand and thus Carrozzeria Boano was entrusted to expand the 250 GT series. The Ferrari 250 GT Boano replaced the 250 GT Europa and represented a significant departure for Ferrari. Driver and passenger comfort were taken seriously; the interior was more luxurious, seats were broader and there was less noise intrusion. By this time there was also synchromesh in the gearbox, which was exactly what was expected by the increasingly important North American market. The Boano-bodies cars were distinguished from later cars by the roof being lower and by the existence of quarter-light windows. From 1958 onwards the body was built by Ellena who raised the roof by about 3 inches. This example Retains its matching number engine Well maintained in an important Dutch Ferrari collection One of only 88 ‘low-roof’ examples Restored in 1998 This lovely 250 GT Boano was built in 1956 is one of some 88 cars manufactured. Many of them were used in competition events with gentlemen drivers. The chassis was very similar to the 250 GT Tour de France and the Tipo 128 B engine delivered 240 bhp so the car could be competitive, although the car was heavier as the competition cars due to the steel body on the Boano. The bodywork is in excellent condition with very good panel fit as the Boano’s were well built. This car shows no previous accidents and has a well kept and very clean underside with the original floorpans. We are currently researching the car’s early history, but quite early the car arrived in America and was owned by a Mr. Steve Barny and then by Robert Spangler of the Prancing Horse Farm in Baltimore. In 1983 the car was owned by Steve Cottingham. In 1997 the car appeared at auction in the UK and in 2000 the car was sold to a Mr Alberto Garnerone. He kept the car until his estate sold the car in 2013. The next owner is the current caretaker, a long time and important Ferrari collector. During the current ownership the car was used sparingly but well maintained. A number of cars were in period converted to other arguably more desirable, competition-orientated series from the 250 family. Fortunately, this car was not converted to a racing type car, making it a rare and original survivor. The paintwork is still presentable and shows some patina after more than 20 years. The Boano styling is elegant and the two-tone paintwork suits the model very well. The interior with the TdF style sport seats is in very nice condition. The engine starts well and shows hardly any smoke and has good oil pressure. The gearbox is a delight to use. The grey painted Borrani wheels give the car the sporting appearance. This must present a tempting offer, considering for example a 250 GT Lusso is much more expensive and significantly less rare while the Boano retains much more of its racing DNA. This car is a great 12-cilinder Ferrari to be used in rally, touring & club events or in the Mille Miglia for which it is eligible. This example deserves a new great home where it can be further enjoyed.

- 1973 Ford Escort RS1600
What is it? It’s a Ford Escort RS1600 MK1 – or, to put it plainly, the most successful rally car of the early-1970s. Capitalising on the advent of televised sport, more specifically rallying, Ford wisely saw the commercial value in sending its humble saloon-for-the-people onto the world’s special stages. The Escort’s inherent simplicity, robustness and versatility soon saw it racking up domestic and international victories in the hands of such legends as Hannu Mikkola, Timo Makinen and Roger Clark. Can you tell us about this Escort’s period Works history? Chassis number 99901 was prepared for its maiden competitive outing, the 1973 Safari Rally, in April of that year by the Ford Boreham Competition Department and allocated the registration number by which it would become popularly known: XPU 216L. Earmarked by the Works Ford Motor Company Ltd for Roger Clark and his co-driver Jim Porter, the car was one of five newly-built left-hand-drive RS1600s fielded by the factory in the notoriously challenging rally. XPU 216L made a terrific start, carving out a staggering 35-minute lead by the halfway point. Alas, mechanical maladies forced Clark and Porter to retire wondering what could have been. Having returned to the United Kingdom, XPU 216L’s next outing came in the Scottish Rally, where it was driven by a young Tony Pond. The Works drive was Pond’s reward for winning the previous year’s Escort Mexico one-make rally championship and the budding British prospect did not disappoint, finishing an impressive seventh overall. Also a prize-winner in the aforementioned Escort Mexico series, Russell Brookes took the wheel of this Ford for the Jim Clark rally, putting in a deft performance to finish second only behind Roger Clark. So strong had his performances been in the powerful 16-valve Escorts that Brookes was once again entrusted with XPU 216L in the RAC rally, though his fortunes were shattered by an accident in Sutton Park – conveniently (or not), the special stage nearest to his Worcestershire home. What happened next? Following the RAC rally, the Ford Boreham Competition Department replaced XPU 216L’s shell with that of a sister Works car, which had its own résumé including the 1973 UDT World Cup recce. Incidentally, the 1974 running of the UDT World Cup was to be this Escort’s final appearance. Andrew Cowan, with a generous sponsorship package from White Horse whisky, was at the helm for the mammoth 12,000-mile journey from London to Munich via the Sahara desert in Africa. Just 19 of the 52 cars which took the starting ramp completed the rally, of which XPU 216L was, remarkably, one. Has this Escort been restored? Yes. Ford sold XPU 216L in the autumn of 1974, though it wasn’t until 1991, when the car was acquired by an adoring competition Escort enthusiast, that the decision was taken to commence a full restoration to the original Works specification. No stone was left unturned in the painstaking seven-year process, from major components such as the original 1973 Ford Competition Group 2 body shell down to the smallest details including the Pye Westminster short-wave radio and the Gomm Metal Developments dry-sump fuel tank. An alloy-block two-litre Ford BDG engine was installed, mated to a period-correct ZF five-speed direct-top competition gearbox. The authentic Safari Rally livery was the proverbial cherry on the cake. “The decision was taken to commence a full restoration to the original Works specification and livery.” Several modifications made for safety, performance and ease of use in today’s competition, such as the constant-discharge Lucas electronic ignition, the AP Racing brakes with twin-Lockheed servos, the Bilstein suspension and the Safety Devices roll-cage. So it’s a prime candidate for historic rallying? Absolutely. Once the restoration was complete, XPU 216L proved to be a very competitive car on the historic rallying scene, winning the 1998 Historic Rally Car Register Championship (HRCRC) outright and finishing fourth in the 2001 MSA British Historic Championship. And there are a number of series today which would welcome this historically-significant Ford Escort with open arms including the aforementioned HRCRC and Reinhard Klein’s Slowly Sideways community, in addition to major rallying events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Rally Legend in San Marino. Sell it me in a sentence... Finding a former factory-entered Ford Escort RS1600 with strong period competition history in the hands of two British rallying greats and which retains a Works-prepared bodyshell is almost unheard of – XPU 216L is ready for its next chapter to be written… 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 Girardo & Co.

- 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM 1
Widely viewed as the most spectacular and exciting manifestation of the 1990s touring car boom, the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) was blessed with star drivers, significant manufacturer involvement and, crucially, excellent promotion. In 1993, the series adopted the Class 1 FIA ruleset, which permitted the development of high-revving, multi-cylinder engines, advanced four-wheel-drive systems and outrageous-yet-aerodynamically efficient “silhouette” bodywork. Such technical latitude was instrumental in Alfa Romeo’s decision to join the series with its stunning 2.5-litre, V6-powered, four-wheel-drive 155 V6 TI model. Remarkably, the marque’s new charge took 14 wins in its debut year and defeated the rival Works-backed AMG-Mercedes and Joest-Opel teams to secure the 1993 title in the hands of Nicola Larini. Alfa Romeo returned to the series in 1994; its principal Alfa Corse squad was supported once again by the three-car, semi-Works Schübel Engineering team. Although benefitting from significant technical improvements—including a new Kelsey-Hayes ABS system and Active Suspension—Alfa Romeo’s campaign was blighted by poor reliability; Mercedes-Benz securing the 1994 title courtesy of Klaus Ludwig, with Larini no better than 3rd in the final standings. The spectacular example offered here is one of just 10 examples of the 1994-specification car constructed by Alfa Corse, and one of the three cars campaigned by Schübel. Driven exclusively by Grand Prix veteran Christian Danner, it secured no fewer than 14 points-scoring finishes, including two superb 2nd-placed finishes at May’s Nürburgring Eifelrennen round. An eventual 9th place in the 1994 DTM standings was further supplemented by a 3rd-placed finish in the first of two non-Championship races in Mugello, Italy. In 1995, this car passed into the hands of the Arese-based Euroteam squad, for whom Danner’s Formula 1 contemporary Stefano Modena piloted it in the first four races of that year’s DTM. Appropriately, the car’s competitive career concluded on a high note, with a 5th and a 2nd at Avus in early May; the car returning to Alfa Corse for display purposes thereafter. In 2017, the car was subjected to an exacting “bare metal“ restoration by marque expert Fabrizio Pandolfi and has covered only minimal mileage since. Acquired by the present owner in 2018, it is accompanied by a spares package that includes a spare engine, two gearboxes and a spare front differential, as well as its original Wagenpass. 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce 1
Few cars were more successful at combining good looks, practicality, and performance as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT. Marrying sharp two-door coupé styling with the firm’s celebrated double overhead-cam engine, the Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed masterpiece became an instant classic upon its launch in 1963, proving as popular with the public as it was with would-be racers. More than 20,000 left Alfa Romeo’s Arese plant, and the recipe was only improved three years later with the arrival of the uprated Giulia Sprint GT Veloce. The changes were subtle, with minor improvements to the exterior brightwork and a revised interior that featured lashings of imitation wood, while the drivetrain was tweaked with a more powerful and tractable 108 horsepower version of the famed 1.6-litre ‘four’ borrowed from the Duetto Spider. The result was a more polished, refined, and quicker machine that instantly won over the world’s press, who put the new car through its paces on the tight, twisting streets linking the picturesque towns and villages of Lake Garda in 1966. The example offered is one of those special Tipo 10536 variants, identifiable by its quadrifoglio badging, revised bumpers, and interior refinements. An early “step-nose” car, it left Alfa Romeo’s Arese plant in 1967 before being registered in Rome in the name of its first owner on 8 June. The original Italian Libretto, which accompanies the car, confirms that the Alfa Romeo has remained in the care of the same family since new. After being disassembled by the original owner, the car eventually passed to his son, on the understanding that it be returned to its former glory. The current owner relished the challenge and commissioned Autofficina Deiana Racing and Autocarrozzeria Evandri Marco to carry out a full restoration in 2021, including a refinish in Giallo Ocra and a full rebuild of its replacement engine, which was fitted to the car in 1987. The interior was also re-trimmed. Invoices totalling €27,607 are available to view on file, in addition to a comprehensive photographic record of the restoration. Today, the Alfa Romeo presents in smart, restored condition, and is ready to be enjoyed and perfected by its next owner. 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Marrying sharp two-door coupé styling with the firm’s celebrated double overhead-cam engine, the Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed masterpiece became an instant classic upon its launch in 1963, proving as popular with the public as it was with would-be racers. More than 20,000 left Alfa Romeo’s Arese plant, and the recipe was only improved three years later with the arrival of the uprated Giulia Sprint GT Veloce. The changes were subtle, with minor improvements to the exterior brightwork and a revised interior that featured lashings of imitation wood, while the drivetrain was tweaked with a more powerful and tractable 108 horsepower version of the famed 1.6-litre ‘four’ borrowed from the Duetto Spider. The result was a more polished, refined, and quicker machine that instantly won over the world’s press, who put the new car through its paces on the tight, twisting streets linking the picturesque towns and villages of Lake Garda in 1966. The example offered is one of those special Tipo 10536 variants, identifiable by its quadrifoglio badging, revised bumpers, and interior refinements. An early “step-nose” car, it left Alfa Romeo’s Arese plant in 1967 before being registered in Rome in the name of its first owner on 8 June. The original Italian Libretto, which accompanies the car, confirms that the Alfa Romeo has remained in the care of the same family since new. After being disassembled by the original owner, the car eventually passed to his son, on the understanding that it be returned to its former glory. The current owner relished the challenge and commissioned Autofficina Deiana Racing and Autocarrozzeria Evandri Marco to carry out a full restoration in 2021, including a refinish in Giallo Ocra and a full rebuild of its replacement engine, which was fitted to the car in 1987. The interior was also re-trimmed. Invoices totalling €27,607 are available to view on file, in addition to a comprehensive photographic record of the restoration. Today, the Alfa Romeo presents in smart, restored condition, and is ready to be enjoyed and perfected by its next owner.
