  • 1992 Porsche 928 GTS

    Released in 1977, the 928 was Porsche’s second front-engined, water-cooled model (after the entry-level 924). Equipped with a 4,474 cc V-8 and rear-mounted transaxle, it was the largest-engined production Porsche to date, and represented Stuttgart’s vision of the future. Yet, although crowned European Car of the Year, the 928 failed to generate the same following as the air-cooled models. Front-engined Porsche enthusiasts and owners alike will argue that the 928 was long overlooked but has always been a very special car—especially the last-of-the-line GTS. Launched for the 1992 model year, the GTS featured more aggressive styling with wider haunches, 17-inch Cup wheels, bigger brakes, more aerodynamic mirrors and a body-colour rear wing. A unique panel between the lights made the GTS instantly recognisable from behind—the view which other drivers were most likely to see. The real news, however, lay beneath the aluminium bonnet. Stretched to 5,397 cc, the all-alloy V-8 developed 345 horsepower—almost 50 percent up on the original. Capable of 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, the GTS topped out at a phenomenal 275 km/h. Handling and roadholding were, quite naturally, outstanding. A civilised yet electrifying machine, it was among the greatest GTs of its era. This particular example was delivered to its first custodian in Parma on 26 October 1992. It is testament to the appeal of the GTS that, in spite of being a stone’s throw from Italy’s supercar heartland, the owner favoured the German coupé over rivals from Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini. The Porsche remained in Italy for 15 years, before being acquired by a Swiss enthusiast in 2007. Six years later—displaying little over 51,000 kilometres at the time—it passed to German ownership, at that point being mechanically refreshed. In 2021, the 928 was purchased by a discerning French collector who, in August 2022 alone, invested €4,357 in maintenance and improvements. At the time of cataloguing, this well-preserved machine was still showing just 52,640 kilometres. While more than 61,000 Porsche 928s were built from 1977 to 1995, the GTS was far from commonplace. Around 2,900 were sold worldwide, representing less than five percent of production. Almost 30 years after the model was withdrawn, this is, therefore, a superb opportunity to acquire a rare example of the ultimate Zuffenhausen GT. Finished in Satin Black with matching leather, the ultra-desirable manual gearbox, and air-conditioning, it comes complete with tools, its stamped service book, plus a multitude of invoices. 1992 Porsche 928 GTS RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1998-ferrari-550-maranello-4

    The Cultivated Collector’s 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, Chassis 12801, is a stunning example of the breed - finished in the beautiful color of Grigio Titano, is complemented by the interior which is wrapped in deep Blu Scuro leather. Having covered a mere 17,700 miles from new, 12801 benefits greatly from loving previous ownership, seeing consistent servicing and having just been serviced by marque specialist Jim McGee of Pocono Sports Car. This 550 Maranello is in exceptional condition throughout, a turn-key example of the ultimate modern Grand Tourer that is ready to enjoy on the open road. The early 1990’s saw Ferrari ignite a return to their roots by reintroducing and reviving the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that had been synonymous with the brand’s early success, yet absent from Ferrari's lineup since the 365 GTB/4 Daytona in the early 1970s. Riding on the heels of the electrifying 512M, the all new 550 Maranello would triumphantly carry the torch forward for V12 powered Ferrari cars. Exuding the brand’s deep and rich history, the 550 Maranello was proudly named after Ferrari’s home, the beautiful city of Maranello, Italy. Ferrari entrusted design to Pininfarina, with the project being led by Lorenzo Ramaciotti, the exterior featured a sleek and timeless design emphasized by clean flowing lines and muscular proportions akin to a classic GT car, while the interior exuded a stunning leather clad center console encapsulating both driver and passenger. Excellence was not skin deep, however. Nestled in the tubular steel space frame, the 550 Maranello boasted the best Ferrari had to offer in the form of the F133A, a front-mounted 5.5-liter V12 engine producing 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque, all being sent to the rear wheels through an engaging 6-speed manual transmission. The 550 Maranello boasted marvelous handling and dynamics, thanks to its balanced weight distribution and highly-tuned double wishbone suspension, providing occupants with a comfortable and luxurious interior with leather upholstery and modern amenities, placing it firmly as the class leader for long-distance driving and grand touring. During its production run from 1996 to 2001, an estimated 3,000 examples left the Maranello based manufacturing facilities. Over its 5 year lifespan, the 550 Maranello consistently received positive reviews from critics and enthusiasts, being widely regarded as a highly capable and desirable grand tourer, blending performance, style, and comfort in an exceptional Italian package. 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1990 Porsche 911 Turbo

    This 1989 Porsche 911 Type 930 Turbo 3.3 is a rare and highly collectible model, representing the pinnacle of Porsche’s first-generation turbocharged 911s. Known for its distinctive wide body, aggressive stance, and iconic “whale tail” rear spoiler, the 930 Turbo became a symbol of 1980s automotive performance and style. The 1989 model is particularly special, as it was the first and only year the 930 was equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, enhancing its performance and driving dynamics. Under the hood, the 3.3L turbocharged flat-six engine delivers a thrilling 300 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful cars of its era. The combination of the upgraded transmission and engine performance makes the 1989 930 Turbo a true driver’s car, providing a more refined and responsive driving experience compared to earlier models. This particular example, originally from Germany, spent 25 years in Japan, where it was meticulously maintained with all service records available. The engine was restored by Fast Cars in Japan, and upgraded with an Andial intercooler that allows better flow and cooling capabilities. Reimported to Europe in 2015, it has been owned by three enthusiasts in France and now shows 129,500 km on the odometer. A big maintenance was done in 2023 by Porsche Centre East-Flanders in Belgium. The car’s elegant black exterior and matching black leather interior have been well-preserved, contributing to its timeless appeal. With only 857 coupé examples produced in 1989, this 911 Turbo stands as a rare opportunity to own a piece of Porsche history, celebrated for its engineering excellence and enduring legacy.

  • 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce

    The Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce (also known as 1750 GTV) entered production in late 1967 along with the 1750 Berlina sedan and 1750 Spider. The cars were first shown to the press in January 1968. The same type of engine was used to power all three versions; this rationalisation was a first for Alfa Romeo. The 1750 GTV replaced the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and introduced many updates and modifications. Most significantly, the engine capacity was increased to 1779 cc displacement. Peak power from the engine was increased to 122 PS (90 kW; 120 hp) at 5500 rpm. The stroke was lengthened from 82 to 88.5 mm over the 1600 engine. A higher ratio final drive was fitted (10/41 instead of 9/41) but the same gearbox ratios were retained. The result was that, on paper, the car had only slightly improved performance compared to the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, but on the road it was much more flexible to drive and it was easier to maintain higher average speeds for fast touring. The chassis was also significantly modified. Tire size went to 165/14 Pirelli Cinturato or Michelin XAS from 155/15 Pirelli Cinturato and wheel size to 5 1/2J x 14 instead of 5J x 15, giving a wider section and slightly smaller rolling diameter. The suspension geometry was also revised, and an anti-roll bar was fitted to the rear suspension. ATE disc brakes were fitted from the outset, but with bigger front discs and calipers. The interior was also much modified over that of earlier cars. There was a new dashboard with large speedometer and tachometer instruments in twin binnacles closer to the driver's line of sight. The instruments were mounted at a more conventional angle, avoiding the reflections caused by the upward angled flat dash of earlier cars. Conversely, auxiliary instruments were moved to angled bezels in the centre console, further from the driver's line of sight than before. The new seats introduced adjustable headrests which merged with the top of the seat when fully down. The window winder levers, the door release levers and the quarterlight vent knobs were also restyled. Early (Series 1) 1750 GTV's featured the same bumpers as the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, with the front bumper modified to mount the indicator / sidelight units on the top of its corners. The GT Veloce 1750 Series 1 could be ordered in the Bertone De Luxe body which included extra options. One of the extra options was a leather interior (seats and door cards). The seats had perforations in the leather. According to Alfa Romeo Storico, our car serie 2 1750 GTV, AR 1389294, leave the Arese Alfa Romeo Factory, 1971, February 17th to the Portugal market. The original colour combination was a very rare and nice Beige Cava body colour with Rosso Amaranto interior, one of the best combo for a 1750 Coupe. The car had only 3 owners and was always kept in very good condition, never suffer for any corrosion. The car is currently under complete and high level restoration and will soon recover its original Beige Cava colour. 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce ARNAGE Classic Car Consulting If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1951-ferrari-340-america-touring-berlinetta

    THE DEFINITIVE EARLY FERRARI It is well-documented that Ferrari’s first true standardized production model did not arrive until the 250 GT of the mid-1950s. So, in the preceding eight years of development, engineering, and competition victories, as the company grew from a fledgling outlier into a perennial powerhouse, what design constituted the closest approximation of a prototypical Ferrari sports car? While early Ferrari roadgoing chassis were bodied by a panoply of coachbuilders including Allemano, Vignale, and Ghia, perhaps the most definitive early road cars were the barchettas and berlinettas built by Touring of Milan. First sketched in 1949, these designs proved to be some of the most consistent coachwork variants through Maranello’s early years, stretching from the 166 iterations through the 212 Exports. It is interesting to note that while the Touring bodies were prevalent among the Colombo-engine models, Vignale and Pinin Farina were generally preferred for the Lampredi-engine competition sports cars. That is, with the exception of two very special cars built on the 340 America platform—the first “big-block” 4.1-liter Ferrari racing model offered for roadgoing clientele. ONE OF TWO Claiming a high degree of rarity, and attention by marque experts, this beautifully presented Ferrari is among the most unique of examples. Chassis number 0126 A is the second of just two 340 Americas that were bodied as berlinettas by Touring, and the seventh of eight total Touring-built examples. Also the eighth of 23 340 Americas built in total, this Ferrari was completed in July 1951, finished in Pale Grey. According to the combined information of an ACI estratto cronologico and a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini, the 340 America was sold new by Carrozzeria Touring and Enzo Ferrari to Cavaliere Tomaso Sebastiani, an engineer residing in Rome. Sebastiani reportedly returned 0126 A to the factory some 17 times over the following three years, strongly suggesting that the berlinetta was used in competition events despite the fact that no period racing record has yet been identified. In July 1954 Signor Sebastiani purchased a Pinin Farina-bodied 375 MM, essentially spelling the end of his time with 0126 A, and a few months later he sold the Touring berlinetta to Sidney Earl Chaplin, the son of comic silent film legend Charlie Chaplin, then living in Corseaux, Switzerland. Chaplin only kept the car for 10 months before selling it to the Marchese Carlo Pottino, who retained possession for roughly two years. In 1957 Pottino traded the Ferrari in to the Rome-based marque dealer Inigo Bernabei, and the following year he found a buyer on the American West Coast. As was frequently the case in the era of hot rods and an unfamiliarity with sophisticated Italian V-12s, the original engine was removed in favor of a Ford V-8. The 340 was then sold during the 1960s to an American naval officer stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who reportedly died in the Vietnam War in 1970. During the mid-1970s the Ferrari was stored in a barn in Washington before being discovered in 1976 by Gerald Roush, the renowned founder of the Ferrari Market Letter. Roush facilitated a sale to Peter Pheil of Atlanta, and the Ford engine was subsequently replaced with a type 128F engine from a 250 GT Series-II cabriolet. The berlinetta was then enjoyed in the Mille Miglia Storica in 1986 and 1987 before passing through the hands of dealers and investors for the next few years. The Ferrari continued to thrill drivers with additional runs in the Mille Miglia Storica in 1991 and 1992 before being sold to Southern California-based Ferrari restorer Steve Tillack in 1994. Tillack quickly re-sold the 340 to Rodolfo Junco de la Vega, a collector based in Mexico, and the America then attended the 1994 Monterey Car Weekend, including presentation at the Ferrari Club of America’s International Concours d’Elegance and participation in the Monterey Historic races at Laguna Seca. After being sold back to Tillack in March 1995, the Ferrari returned to action with successful runs at the 1995 Monterey Historics, the 1997 Mille Miglia Storica, and the 1997 Los Angeles Vintage Grand Prix. Following presentation at the 2001 FCA Field and Driving Concours in Texas, the car was offered for sale for a time, after which a new owner acquired a proper Lampredi engine originally used in a 250 Europa. This engine was then reportedly increased to a 4.1-liter displacement with dry-sump lubrication per 340 America racing specifications, and rebuilt in 2004 (along with the gearbox and various chassis components) by the well-known marque specialist Patrick Ottis. Acquired then by a collector in the UK, the Ferrari was offered in August 2005 at RM’s flagship Monterey sale and sold to an enthusiast based in Texas. The 340 was then exhibited at the 2009 Cavallino Classic, winning a Silver Award, and later that year the berlinetta was sold to the consignor, a discerning collector based in Southern California. Under current ownership the Ferrari was displayed at the 2009 Palm Springs Concours d’Elegance before undergoing a full rebuild of the engine to competition specifications in 2015 by Rod Drew’s respected Francorchamps of America of Costa Mesa, California. This work included the installation of new valves, high-compression pistons, connecting rods, and cylinder liners; while newly fabricated engine heads in the original style with new custom camshafts were also fitted. This engine configuration reportedly delivers a conspicuous bump in power over the original 340 America specifications. In August 2010 the beautiful Ferrari was presented at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, and in October 2017 the car was shown at the Art Center College of Design’s Car Classic. The berlinetta’s exhibition career then continued with presentation at the Concorso Ferrari at Pebble Beach in August 2019 and again in 2023. As one of only two 340 Americas clothed in Touring’s influential berlinetta coachwork, and one of the last examples of the body design across all Ferrari models, chassis number 0126 A is a highly desirable example of one of Maranello’s most definitive early designs. Poised for further exhibition or vintage touring event enjoyment, particularly given its rebuilt competition-specified engine, this rare and impressive Prancing Horse would make a striking addition to any collection of Italian thoroughbreds. 1951 Ferrari 340 America Touring Berlinetta RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1970 Jensen Interceptor II 2

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

  • 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina 2

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

  • 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE

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

  • 1968-monteverdi-high-speed-375-l-prototype

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

  • 1956 Porsche 550A Prototype

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

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

  • 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 1

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