- 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.

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.

- 1972 Ferrari 246 Dino GT
Youthquake Few cars scream 1970s sex appeal like the Ferrari 246 Dino GT, a model conceived to inject some welcomed sporting youth into a 12-cylinder range which very much appealed to the marque’s older clientele. How beautiful is that sultry soap-bar body? It could only be the work of Pininfarina, which, in the face of the angular geometric trends of the time, still managed to make it look fresh and contemporary. Arguably the best bit about the Dino is that it is every bit as good to drive as it is to look at. And that’s something that certainly can’t be said of every late-1960s/early-1970s sports car. Chassis no. 03148 As evidenced by the accompanying correspondence between Maranello Concessionaires in England and the Ferrari factory, this final-development E-series 246 Dino GT – chassis number 03148 – was originally finished in Rosso Chiaro Ferrari (20-R-190) over a Nero (161) interior. The only optional extra noted was the electric windows. Ordered in December of 1971 by Maranello Concessionaires and supplied to the Jersey Ferrari agent Henry Linton Cars in March of 1972, this Dino was acquired new by one Mervyn Frankel. Mervyn Frankel is the father of the veteran automotive journalist Andrew Frankel, who recalls chassis 03148 as the very first Ferrari he ever saw in the metal as an impressionable boy. In 2021 we had the privilege of reuniting Andrew with his father’s old car – an unforgettable occasion which he chronicled in a truly wonderful story on The Intercooler. “Though I was just six at the time, my memories of that Ferrari are seared on my memory. I remember sitting in both seats, waggling the wheel and stirring the stick in one when my father wasn’t looking, and being mesmerised by the sight of those front wings rising up before me in the other. And the noise. Oh that noise: a 2418cc 65-degree V6 with four chain driven camshafts fed by a trio of downdraft Weber carburettors. It has stayed with me forever.” “Taken off road for various periods, ‘ETV 48L’ has never been driven in the winter and only occasionally has she been out in the rain when the weather forecast proved inaccurate!” John Gardner, Owner 1973-2007 We digress. In the face of a global financial crisis, Frankel Snr. was forced to sell the Dino after just a year of ownership. Having completed its two initial complimentary services as per the accompanying original Warranty Card, chassis number 03148 was sold to the industrial magnate John Paul Gardner in March of 1973 and registered in the United Kingdom with the number ‘ETV 48L’. It’s the registration this Dino retains to this day. Gardner was a keen driver and entered the Dino in both the Curborough Sprint Event and the Wiscombe Park Speed Hill Climb. In addition to his impressions from these events, Gardner fastidiously recorded the details of every journey he undertook with this Ferrari and any maintenance in a small blue notebook. The detail is quite extraordinary. For example, in April of 1975, he notes that the spark plugs were replaced, the contact breaker points were reset and all four wheels and brakes were removed for thorough cleaning. Gardner continued to chronicle his ownership of this Dino – a period that would span 34 years and some 16,000 miles. When he finally decided to part with chassis number 03148, Gardner was interviewed about his time with the car. “Apart from outings to the AMOC Curborough Sprint and AMOC Wiscombe Hillclimb, the car has not been used competitively,” he recalled. “Taken off road for various periods, ‘ETV 48L’ has never been driven in the winter and only occasionally has she been out in the rain when the weather forecast proved inaccurate!” This Ferrari changed hands for just the second time in November of 2007. In 2011, its third and penultimate owner submitted chassis number 03148 for Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the matching-numbers engine, gearbox and body, in addition to the original specification. We had the pleasure of finding this 246 GT a new home in the summer of 2021. And satisfyingly, chassis 03418’s fourth and current owner has used and enjoyed the car, all the while continuing where its previous owners left off and always maintaining it regardless of cost. Owing to a permanent move abroad, said owner has now entrusted us, once again, with rehoming this most beguiling of Ferraris. “Chassis number 03148’ Ferrari Classiche certification confirms the matching-numbers engine, gearbox and body, in addition to the original specification.” Beguiling really is the word to describe the condition of this Dino. Especially inside, where the leatherette upholstery has aged incredibly well. The headlining is taught and not sagging at all, and the mouse-hair dash has not faded as much as other examples we’ve encountered. The 8-track stereo remains functional and in the glovebox you’ll find cassettes to suit most 1970s tastes. Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom. It should go without saying that chassis number 03418 retains all its accompanying factory paraphernalia: its spare key, tool roll, jack (complete with leather pouch), and leather books pouch, containing the warranty card, service book, owner’s manual and spare-parts catalogue. The latter documents are all in excellent condition – a credit to the car’s former keepers. Finding unrestored 1970s Ferraris in such condition and with such provenance today is an increasingly rare occurrence, which goes some way to explain why we’re so excited by this Dino. Chassis 03148 is certainly a car that needs to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. We’ll let Andrew Frankel have the final word. “Every Dino I’ve driven has been different and this one is just better: it feels quick in a way no Dino ever has, its driveline gloriously precise and lacking in shunt, its gearchange beautifully easy but with no slack nor sign of synchro wear. It’s just one of the good ones, and you get them from time to time, particularly in cars from an era and a factory where no two were ever quite the same.” 1972 Ferrari 246 Dino GT Girardo & Co.

The 8-track stereo remains functional and in the glovebox you’ll find cassettes to suit most 1970s tastes. Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom. It should go without saying that chassis number 03418 retains all its accompanying factory paraphernalia: its spare key, tool roll, jack (complete with leather pouch), and leather books pouch, containing the warranty card, service book, owner’s manual and spare-parts catalogue. The latter documents are all in excellent condition – a credit to the car’s former keepers. Finding unrestored 1970s Ferraris in such condition and with such provenance today is an increasingly rare occurrence, which goes some way to explain why we’re so excited by this Dino. Chassis 03148 is certainly a car that needs to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. We’ll let Andrew Frankel have the final word. “Every Dino I’ve driven has been different and this one is just better: it feels quick in a way no Dino ever has, its driveline gloriously precise and lacking in shunt, its gearchange beautifully easy but with no slack nor sign of synchro wear. It’s just one of the good ones, and you get them from time to time, particularly in cars from an era and a factory where no two were ever quite the same.” Other Cars from Girardo & Co.

- 1965 BMW 1800 TI FIA
The foundation of BMW's post-war resurgence was the four-door 1500 saloon and its derivatives - the 'Neue Klasse' - introduced in 1961. All variants were powered by the Munich firm's dependable, single overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder M10 engine which, despite its humble origins, would later form the basis of a turbo-charged 1,000bhp Grand Prix unit and Formula 1 World Championship winner. New for 1963, the 1800 model used a 1,773cc 90bhp engine at first before rationalisation saw it replaced by an updated short-stroke 1,766cc unit in 1968. Soon there was a more sporting version available – the 1800 TI (Touring International) – which had been developed by the tuning company Alpina and featured two twin-choke Solex carburettors and a higher compression ratio, modifications that raised peak output to 110bhp. This in turn led to the more powerful and track-focused 1800 TI/SA 'homologation special'. On offer here is a well known, race-proven, right-hand drive BMW 1800 TI, run and prepared to the highest standards by marque experts, Laranca Engineering. Before becoming a well seasoned race car, the TI was campaigned in rallying by Jill Watson during the 1990s and there is an accompanying history file with the car containing more information on its busy and impressive life. The BMW’s last engine refresh was in 2018 by Laranca and since then it’s completed one race in 2018 at the Oldtimer event at the Nürburgring and hasn’t been campaigned since. The FIA papers (GB10243) are valid until 31st December 2026 ensuring that this car offers access into some of the most tightly contested and desirable Historic Motorsport championships on offer. Our vendor has moved to South America and has reluctantly decided that it’s time to let it go. The TI is being offered at a seriously tempting guide price when you consider the cost to replicate, advertised prices for similar cars, and its proven race pedigree. 1965 BMW 1800 TI FIA Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1996 Porsche 993 Targa Tiptronic S
The iconic Porsche 993 was introduced in 1994 as a replacement for the outgoing 964 model and was produced up until 1998. Regarded by many as the finest generation of 911, the 993 was the last to use the air cooled flat six engine. Available in three body styles; Coupe, Convertible and Targa with its sliding glass roof. The new car was the most sweepingly changed 911 ever. Gone were the nearly upright headlights that had accompanied the 911 for over thirty years. They were replaced with 959-like items in favour of better aerodynamics. The new style bumper and front wings gave the 993 a fresh look, without losing the identity of the 911. The 993 wore newly designed 16-inch wheels, wider rear arches and twin exhausts positioned on both the left and right of the rear bumper. Beneath the front bumper were ‘air-relief’ vents, to help air escape from the wheel wells and the chassis revisions were just as extensive. The 3.6-litre engine was modified to give 270 bhp which was coupled to Porsche’s new four-speed Tiptronic gearbox, giving the 993 a 0-60 mph of sub 7 secs and a top speed of 168 mph where permitted. The Porsche 993 Targa Tiptronic S offered here at Autostorico is finished in Artic silver metallic with Black leather interior. Supplied new by Stratstone Porsche Wilmslow in December 1996 this stunning 80,652 mile example, boasts a comprehensive service history carried out by a mix of Porsche main dealer and specialists. The most recent of which was carried out by RGA Porsche Centre at 79,948 miles including fitting a complete exhaust system. The car has also recently been to Center Gravity Atherstone for a full suspension setup and drives superbly. Specification highlights include; Panoramic Targa sunroof, 17” Alloy wheels, Air conditioning, Headlamp powerwash, Rear wiper, Electric windows, Power door mirrors, High level brake light in rear spoiler, Part electric seats and Blaupunkt Bremen audio system. Supplied with an extensive history file including a current V5 registration document, previous MOT’s, Original book pack Inc. service book and various other related invoices. A complete tool kit including tyre pump and first aid kit. 1996 Porsche 993 Targa Tiptronic S Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
