This 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto 2.0 is part of the last generation of the classic Spider, only produced from 1990 to 1993. It is the final rear-wheel-drive Spider, making it a true Alfa Romeo for the purists. This car is finished in the sought after British Racing Green, and is still in first paint, which is rare for a 30 years old car like this. It has been recently polished, giving it a fresh, almost new appearance. Combined with its tasteful beige interior and a black soft top in very good state, the vehicle looks elegant. In total, it has travelled 112,000 kilometers, has never been involved in an accident, and spent its life between Germany and Italy, before moving to Belgium where it is now located. Under the hood is the legendary 2.0-liter twin-cam engine with Bosch fuel injection, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It drives exactly as a classic Alfa should: light, responsive, and full of character. The car drives quite well and smoothly. Inside, the car offers a nice mix of classic charm from the first generations, and comfort of the 90’s Alfa. It comes with a beautiful wooden Nardi steering wheel and gear selector, leather and Alcantara sport seats, electric windows and mirrors, and working air conditioning. In summary, this is a well-preserved and elegant example of one of Alfa Romeo’s most iconic models. It’s ready to be enjoyed as a stylish weekend car, and could be your perfect match for the next summer. 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0i AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This particular unit boasts a long list of equipment over the standard Fastback model.

By the mid-to-late 1980s, Jaguar had firmly re-established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the top echelon of motorsport. Jaguar formed a partnership with Tom Walkinshaw Racing, called JaguarSport, in 1986; its objective was to compete, and win, in the same World Sportscar Championship (WSC) where Jaguar had built its racing legacy with its C-Type and D-Type racers. Jaguar honed the performance credentials of its XJR prototype racecar platform through various model iterations. This culminated with the XJR-9 and XJR-12, which won the 1988 and 1990 editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This monumental success on the track would form the building blocks for what followed from Jaguar. Demand for a roadgoing version of the XJR-9 was apparent, and so the thundering, ground-breaking XJR-15 was birthed with development by JaguarSport. Employing a heavily tuned 6-liter, 450-horsepower version of the same V-12 engine that brought Jaguar its recent victories, and with an approximately 2,300-pound curb weight, the XJR-15 possessed a race-bred power to weight ratio that outclassed all supercars of the era. However, the comparisons to the XJR-9 did not end there. The XJR-15 used a central monocoque chassis tub similar in concept to that of the Tony Southgate-designed, Le Mans-winning XJR-9, although this new tub, designed Jim Router and Dave Fullerton, differed somewhat in its dimensions. The body was designed by Peter Stevens, who was also responsible for the McLaren F1, and was constructed with a unique carbon fiber and Kevlar composite. Notably, this was the world’s first roadgoing car to use carbon fiber in the construction of its body and tub. The XJR-9 suspension was retained at all four wheels, with fabricated wishbones and horizontal pushrod-spring dampers at the front and coil springs at the rear. Four-piston AP Racing calipers mated to disc brakes housed completely within the wheels provided stopping power. After undergoing development tests through 1990, the car was officially launched in November of that year, built by JaguarSport in a specialized facility in Oxfordshire. In a production run that would last until 1992, Jaguar Sport would build 50 production examples of the XJR-15. Of these, only 27 of those would leave the factory in roadgoing specification, while the others followed directly in the lineage of the preceding XJR racecars and were built especially for the track. Serial number 008, presented here, is one of the 27 XJR-15s constructed for road use. These XJR-15s were equipped with five-speed transaxles rather than the race-tuned, six-speed Le Mans gearboxes. A preservation-quality example, chassis 008 displays a mere 83 miles at the time of cataloguing. Sold new in Japan to respected collector Miura Shoji, the car was kept in a meticulously preserved state until being acquired by an American collector in 2018. After being imported to the United States in December 2018, the car is said to have been sent to Fast Cars Limited of Redondo Beach, California for a full fluid change and general mechanical checkup. The consignor acquired the car in 2022 and, in July 2023, treated it to another complete fluid change by Fast Cars Limited. With its carbon weave structure visible even through the paint, in addition to its clear engine cover and three-piece OZ racing wheels, the exterior delights the senses and hints at the car’s astounding performance. Inside, leather racing seats cradle the driver and passenger, with hardwired headsets for easy conversation when cruising in the triple digits. The bare, black-and-silver striped carbon fiber tub is exposed throughout the cabin, with the material framing the gauges and Nardi racing steering wheel and highlighting the unique shifter mounted up against the inner door sill. As a rare, road-ready counterpart to the car that returned Jaguar to the top of the racing world, and displaying just 83 miles, this meticulously maintained XJR-15 certainly ranks among the finest available and is sure to make a treasured addition of any collection. 1991 Jaguar XJR-15 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

BMW launched the Type 503 at the IAA in 1955 as an elegant touring car and more comfortable counterpart to the 507 Roadster. At a price of almost DM 30,000, the car was even more expensive than the BMW 507 and therefore only affordable for extremely well-heeled customers. As with the 507, the body was designed by industrial designer Albrecht Graf Goertz. From December 1957 to May 1960, a total of 193 Type 503s (convertible and coupé) were built in the second series, of which 134 were produced as coupés. The vehicle offered here comes from the family estate of a Norwegian shipping company. The original leather is still intact. According to the available documents, the vehicle has a total mileage of only 85,251 km. According to the available invoice documentation, the technology has been extensively overhauled. In addition, the car impresses with its elegant colour combination and amazing driving performance for a vehicle from the 1950s. A unique opportunity to acquire one of the rare BMW 503 Coupé of the second series in a fantastically preserved original condition!

Few small-volume car manufacturers can boast as compelling or cosmopolitan a backstory as that of De Tomaso Automobili. An accomplished amateur racing driver himself, Alejandro de Tomaso competed throughout the latter part of the decade; his career encompassed two World Championship Grands Prix, four participations in the Sebring 12 Hours, and also a class win at the 1958 Le Mans 24 Hours. In 1957, de Tomaso married American heiress Isabelle Haskell, and settled in Modena—then the epicenter of Italy’s sportscar manufacturing industry. There, de Tomaso commenced production of a variety of moderately successful Formula Junior, Formula One and Two designs. However, in 1963, he ventured into road car production for the first time with his attractive Ford Cortina-powered, two-seat Vallelunga coupé. Employing a pressed steel backbone chassis with a tubular rear sub-frame, its engine functioned as a stressed member, thereby improving torsional rigidity and enabling impressive levels of performance from a car generating less than 120 horsepower. The Vallelunga’s four-wheel disc brakes and double-wishbone, coil spring suspension ensured ample stopping power and pleasant road-holding capabilities ideal for spirited driving between towns, and checkered flags, too. Legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro was responsible for styling the low and svelte Vallelunga, while Ghia were tabbed with execution of Giugiaro’s design in fiberglass. The production Vallelunga weighed in at only 726 kilograms, and its 105-horsepower engine was good for a top speed of 180 km/h, while a sprint from zero-to-97 km/h was said to require only 6.7 seconds. This wonderfully restored and lightly customised Vallelunga is a late production example which was delivered new to Varese, Italy on 27 May 1967. Between 1970 and 1983, it resided in northern Italy and then Rome. In June 2003, the car was purchased by a Spanish De Tomaso enthusiast and exported to their home in Barcelona. Under current ownership, this attractive Vallelunga has been cleverly modified for better performance with a freshly rebuilt 1.6-litre, Ford four-cylinder engine which was reportedly sourced from a period Formula 3 car; this engine has also been fitted with a supercharger, Weber Type 48 carburetor, and high-performance fittings. The gearbox remains the correct-type De Tomaso-VW four-speed unit, and this is controlled via a handsome gated shifter which occupies the place of honour within the car’s immaculately retrimmed cabin. The set of 13-inch Cromodora wheels are presently shod in Kumho tires, and at the rear track these fit nicely under the fiberglass body’s slightly widened fenders. As the consignor reports that this extremely uncommon Vallelunga has traveled just 4,000 kilometres since completion of its comprehensive restoration, it would be a tremendous and exciting prize for any collector of advanced and attractive niche Italian sportscars. 1967 De Tomaso Vallelunga by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Swiss delivery Matching numbers and color Only one previous owner Swiss road registration with veteran entry The beautiful Porsche 924 offered here was delivered to the first owner in September 1978 by AMAG Biel in the color diamond silver metallic, where it has been cherished and cared for to this day, for no less than 45 years. With 54,000 original kilometers, this one owner car is a true classic that has been preserved in impressive original condition. This exclusive Porsche 924 is matching numbers and color and veteran-approved. All original keys are included with the car, as are the complete on-board folder with the original owner’s manual, the complete service booklet and the exhaust maintenance document. It is rare to find a Porsche 924 in comparable condition. The Porsche 924 is a sports car that Porsche produced from 1975 to 1988. The vehicle is a 2+2-seater and has two doors, typical of a coupé. It was originally designed as a successor to the VW-Porsche 914 for Volkswagen. Porsche launched the car on the market as its own entry-level model below the 911.

Boiling Point Pressure. Ultimately, that’s what led to the creation of the Ferrari’s legendary 512 BB/LM Group 5 sports-racing cars. You see, Il Commendatore was a notoriously stubborn man. And not always for the right reasons. While he initially saw no potential – and thus showed zero interest – in a competition variant of his marque’s flagship twelve-cylinder Berlinetta Boxer, his close friend and American concessionaire Luigi Chinetti did. Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) had enjoyed great success with Ferrari’s prototype and GT racing cars in the 1960s and ’70s. And unsurprisingly, Chinetti wielded great commercial influence in Maranello, thanks to the incredibly lucrative nature of his American market. It took N.A.R.T. to build its own radically reengineered Ferrari 365 GT4 BB racer and record impressive finishes at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans for Enzo to take note. Perhaps the elegant mid-engined supercar had the minerals after all. Sure enough, at the French endurance classic in the summer of 1978, Ferrari supplied three five-litre BB Competiziones, developed with input from the Formula 1 team’s chief engineer Mauro Forghieri. Among his more intriguing ideas was the aluminium rear wing, which actually began life as the front wing on the 312 T3 Grand Prix car. Ferrari could no longer resist the idea of a 512 with which to try and win the world’s greatest endurance races. Veiled in secrecy deep in the factory’s Assistenza Clienti department, ingegneri Giuseppe Girotti and Gaetano Florini were spearheading the development of a bona-fide competition version of the 512 BB, for the hotly-contested Group 5 ‘Special Production’ category. Unlike the three hastily-constructed cars it supplied for Le Mans in 1978, this second evolution – christened the BB/LM – was a thoroughly developed, no-corners-cut endurance racer. Lucas mechanical fuel injection, an enhanced cooling system, a strengthened gearbox and bespoke Gotti alloy wheels shod with Michelin TR-X rubber were just a handful of the modifications made. In addition, the suspension and braking systems were entirely overhauled, while both the front and rear tracks were widened. Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans’ six-kilometre Mulsanne Straight. Extensive work was carried out in the Torinese carrozzeria’s Grugliasco wind tunnel, resulting in a sleeker wind-cheating and utterly beautiful ‘silhouette’ that Ferrari somewhat ambitiously reported it had clocked at 212mph in testing. Punchy. “Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans.” On a frigid rainy morning in January of 1979, a plane touched down at John F. Kennedy Airport carrying three brand new Ferrari 512 BB/LMs – the first three of the nine second-generation cars built by the end of 1979. Their end destination? The Daytona 24 Hours. While one car was earmarked for Chinetti’s N.A.R.T. outfit, the other two were designated to the French Ferrari concessionaire Charles Pozzi. The 512 BB/LM we’re honoured to be offering, chassis number 26685, was the second of those two cars. Michelin, whose fancy new radial tyres were fitted to the BB/LMs, took the opportunity to hire the Daytona circuit a full week before the race, granting the Pozzi team invaluable testing time with its new Ferraris. Entered into the top-flight IMSA GTX category, this car was assigned the number 67 and earmarked for French drivers Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. And come qualifying, chassis 26685 was the quickest of the three 512s, lapping the famous banked racetrack in 1min57.3sec. The Daytona 24 Hours in 1979 marked the Ferrari 512 BB/LM’s competitive debut – chassis number 26685 was one of three examples entered Alas, the race was a less straightforward affair. Unusually high tyre wear on the sister Pozzi car of Jean-Claude Andruet prompted an early pit-stop around 90 minutes in to the 24-hour marathon. And when N.A.R.T.’s entry suffered a scary high-speed blowout exiting the banking, resulting in an accident and subsequent retirement, both Michelin and the Pozzi bosses rightly decided to err on the side of caution and withdraw both its entries after just four hours. Until then, chassis 26685 was running in an excellent seventh position. What could have been… Next up for this Ferrari was the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, not only the jewel in endurance racing’s crown but the Pozzi outfit’s home race. In preparation, the French team had conducted a 24-hour test at Le Castellet with both of its BB/LMs – a test which, by all accounts, was a resounding success. The stage was set. This Ferrari’s striking Jean Fougerol-designed ‘clouds’ livery proved a real talking point at Le Mans in 1979 Ahead of the main event, Pozzi commissioned the French artist Jean Fougerol to refinish its brace of 512s in a fabulous hand-painted Pop Art-inspired livery depicting powder-blue clouds and white birds. The two BB/LMs differed only in their numbers and their title sponsors – this car was assigned the number 63 and adorned with the logos of 3M. The driver line-up for chassis 26685 remained the same as it did earlier in the year at Daytona: Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. It was the latter who, at the close of qualifying, once again recorded the quickest lap of the four BB/LMs entered: a smidgen over the four-minute mark. Alas, it was also Leclère who, having clawed his way into the top 10 after an impressive drive through the night, agonisingly retired at eight o’clock in the morning after a sudden downpour and subsequent contretemps with a slower car. This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, where its entry was part-funded by the European University This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came 12 months later at the very same event: the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time around, Pozzi fielded three BB/LMs, all finished in the striking blue and yellow colour scheme of the European University in Belgium. Chassis 26685 ran with the number 75 and was due to be driven by Lucien Guitteny and Gérard Bleynie. Once again, however, bad luck plagued this Ferrari and an accident forced retirement in the seventh hour. The sister car of Jean Xhenceval, Pierre Dieudonné and Hervé Regout clinched a well-deserved class podium for the French outfit. The car was returned to Ferrari to be repaired and, with the factory’s blessing, sent to Pininfarina to be rebodied in the more aerodynamically advanced second-evolution bodywork, in which the last 16 BB/LMs were dressed. Its competitive duties complete, chassis 26685 was sold to Prince Pierre Sanguszko – a prominent member of the Polish aristocracy who was a close friend of the Pozzi boss Daniel Merin. In his castle in Senlis, France, this Ferrari lived happily alongside a number of incredibly special motorcars, including the Iso Grifo A3/C famously once owned by the French rock ‘n’ roll legend Johnny Hallyday. Sanguszko passed away in 1992 and this BB/LM passed through the hands of a small number of French owners before it was acquired by the well-known British Ferrari collector Nigel Chiltern-Hunt just before the New Millennium. Chiltern-Hunt commissioned a ground-up restoration, including the reapplication of its iconic Jean Fougerol livery. Upon completion, chassis 26685 was returned to the racetrack at the 2001 Historic Festival at Rockingham. It made several further outings at Ferrari Owners’ Club UK Concours meetings until 2010, when it was acquired by Jacques Bajol and returned to France. It’s important to note that by this point, this BB/LM had been submitted for and received its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox, in addition to the provenance. “This BB/LM received its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification in 2008, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox, in addition to the provenance.” In what was an especially memorable occasion, at the 2012 Le Mans Classic, chassis 26685 was returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time since it competed there in 1980 and reunited with its sister Pozzi car, chassis number 26681, famously finished in the same Jean Fougerol ‘clouds’ livery. This 512 BB/LM’s was acquired by its penultimate owner, a Swiss collector and historic racing driver, in 2019. As a friend of Claude Ballot-Lena, he’d long been hunting for a car raced by the Frenchman in period. This Ferrari more than fitted the bill. With a view to returning the Ferrari to the racetrack for the first time in 40 years, while preserving its incredible originality, he commissioned Tommaso Gelmini’s renowned GPS Classics outfit in Italy to prepare the car to modern historic racing safety standards. The Historic Technical Passport was acquired in 2019, and remains valid until 2029. Pleasingly, the owner capitalised on the extraordinary eligibility of this Ferrari, entering it in a plethora of historic motorsport meetings – including Peter Auto’s Historic events at Monza, Vallelunga and Paul Ricard, and, in the summer of 2022, the Le Mans Classic. An enticing thought for the next custodian is that there are still many events at which this 512 BB/LM would be welcomed with open arms. Personally, we’re not sure we’d be able to resist returning it to the hallowed banking of the Daytona International Speedway, where chassis 26685 first turned a wheel in anger, for the popular HSR Classic Daytona meeting. To truly appreciate the historical significance of the 512 BB/LM, it’s important to frame it in the context of the Prancing Horse’s competition history – more specifically the trajectory it followed in the decades after this car hung up its figurative boots. You see, every Ferrari entry at Le Mans since then – immortal machines such as the F40 LM, 333 SP, 550 Maranello, F430 GTC and 488 GTE – has been built by a third party with the factory’s blessing. That makes the 25 BB/LMs which left Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department the marque’s final in-house-built sports-racing cars to have raced in the world’s greatest endurance competition. The third example built, chassis number 26685 distinguishes itself further in a number of significant ways. Not least its competition résumé, which comprises the two most prestigious endurance motor races, and its Pop Art livery, which is arguably the most famous and recognisable of all the 512s which raced. The beguiling originality, full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification and extraordinary eligibility in today’s historic motoring world are the proverbial cherries on the cake. “The 25 BB/LMs which left Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department the marque’s final in-house-built sports-racing cars to have raced in the world’s greatest endurance competition.” Hailing from a fondly-remembered and hotly-contested era of endurance racing, this ultra-special EU-taxes-paid Ferrari 512 BB/LM is in the esteemed company of the very finest thoroughbred Prancing Horses in the marque’s storied history. 1979 Ferrari 512 BB/LM Group 5 Girardo & Co.

Ultimately, that’s what led to the creation of the Ferrari’s legendary 512 BB/LM Group 5 sports-racing cars. You see, Il Commendatore was a notoriously stubborn man. And not always for the right reasons. While he initially saw no potential – and thus showed zero interest – in a competition variant of his marque’s flagship twelve-cylinder Berlinetta Boxer, his close friend and American concessionaire Luigi Chinetti did. Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) had enjoyed great success with Ferrari’s prototype and GT racing cars in the 1960s and ’70s. And unsurprisingly, Chinetti wielded great commercial influence in Maranello, thanks to the incredibly lucrative nature of his American market. It took N.A.R.T. to build its own radically reengineered Ferrari 365 GT4 BB racer and record impressive finishes at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans for Enzo to take note. Perhaps the elegant mid-engined supercar had the minerals after all. Sure enough, at the French endurance classic in the summer of 1978, Ferrari supplied three five-litre BB Competiziones, developed with input from the Formula 1 team’s chief engineer Mauro Forghieri. Among his more intriguing ideas was the aluminium rear wing, which actually began life as the front wing on the 312 T3 Grand Prix car. Ferrari could no longer resist the idea of a 512 with which to try and win the world’s greatest endurance races. Veiled in secrecy deep in the factory’s Assistenza Clienti department, ingegneri Giuseppe Girotti and Gaetano Florini were spearheading the development of a bona-fide competition version of the 512 BB, for the hotly-contested Group 5 ‘Special Production’ category. Unlike the three hastily-constructed cars it supplied for Le Mans in 1978, this second evolution – christened the BB/LM – was a thoroughly developed, no-corners-cut endurance racer. Lucas mechanical fuel injection, an enhanced cooling system, a strengthened gearbox and bespoke Gotti alloy wheels shod with Michelin TR-X rubber were just a handful of the modifications made. In addition, the suspension and braking systems were entirely overhauled, while both the front and rear tracks were widened. Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans’ six-kilometre Mulsanne Straight. Extensive work was carried out in the Torinese carrozzeria’s Grugliasco wind tunnel, resulting in a sleeker wind-cheating and utterly beautiful ‘silhouette’ that Ferrari somewhat ambitiously reported it had clocked at 212mph in testing. Punchy. “Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans.” On a frigid rainy morning in January of 1979, a plane touched down at John F. Kennedy Airport carrying three brand new Ferrari 512 BB/LMs – the first three of the nine second-generation cars built by the end of 1979. Their end destination? The Daytona 24 Hours. While one car was earmarked for Chinetti’s N.A.R.T. outfit, the other two were designated to the French Ferrari concessionaire Charles Pozzi. The 512 BB/LM we’re honoured to be offering, chassis number 26685, was the second of those two cars. Michelin, whose fancy new radial tyres were fitted to the BB/LMs, took the opportunity to hire the Daytona circuit a full week before the race, granting the Pozzi team invaluable testing time with its new Ferraris. Entered into the top-flight IMSA GTX category, this car was assigned the number 67 and earmarked for French drivers Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. And come qualifying, chassis 26685 was the quickest of the three 512s, lapping the famous banked racetrack in 1min57.3sec. The Daytona 24 Hours in 1979 marked the Ferrari 512 BB/LM’s competitive debut – chassis number 26685 was one of three examples entered Alas, the race was a less straightforward affair. Unusually high tyre wear on the sister Pozzi car of Jean-Claude Andruet prompted an early pit-stop around 90 minutes in to the 24-hour marathon. And when N.A.R.T.’s entry suffered a scary high-speed blowout exiting the banking, resulting in an accident and subsequent retirement, both Michelin and the Pozzi bosses rightly decided to err on the side of caution and withdraw both its entries after just four hours. Until then, chassis 26685 was running in an excellent seventh position. What could have been… Next up for this Ferrari was the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, not only the jewel in endurance racing’s crown but the Pozzi outfit’s home race. In preparation, the French team had conducted a 24-hour test at Le Castellet with both of its BB/LMs – a test which, by all accounts, was a resounding success. The stage was set. This Ferrari’s striking Jean Fougerol-designed ‘clouds’ livery proved a real talking point at Le Mans in 1979 Ahead of the main event, Pozzi commissioned the French artist Jean Fougerol to refinish its brace of 512s in a fabulous hand-painted Pop Art-inspired livery depicting powder-blue clouds and white birds. The two BB/LMs differed only in their numbers and their title sponsors – this car was assigned the number 63 and adorned with the logos of 3M. The driver line-up for chassis 26685 remained the same as it did earlier in the year at Daytona: Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. It was the latter who, at the close of qualifying, once again recorded the quickest lap of the four BB/LMs entered: a smidgen over the four-minute mark. Alas, it was also Leclère who, having clawed his way into the top 10 after an impressive drive through the night, agonisingly retired at eight o’clock in the morning after a sudden downpour and subsequent contretemps with a slower car. This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, where its entry was part-funded by the European University This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came 12 months later at the very same event: the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time around, Pozzi fielded three BB/LMs, all finished in the striking blue and yellow colour scheme of the European University in Belgium. Chassis 26685 ran with the number 75 and was due to be driven by Lucien Guitteny and Gérard Bleynie. Once again, however, bad luck plagued this Ferrari and an accident forced retirement in the seventh hour. The sister car of Jean Xhenceval, Pierre Dieudonné and Hervé Regout clinched a well-deserved class podium for the French outfit. The car was returned to Ferrari to be repaired and, with the factory’s blessing, sent to Pininfarina to be rebodied in the more aerodynamically advanced second-evolution bodywork, in which the last 16 BB/LMs were dressed. Its competitive duties complete, chassis 26685 was sold to Prince Pierre Sanguszko – a prominent member of the Polish aristocracy who was a close friend of the Pozzi boss Daniel Merin. In his castle in Senlis, France, this Ferrari lived happily alongside a number of incredibly special motorcars, including the Iso Grifo A3/C famously once owned by the French rock ‘n’ roll legend Johnny Hallyday. Sanguszko passed away in 1992 and this BB/LM passed through the hands of a small number of French owners before it was acquired by the well-known British Ferrari collector Nigel Chiltern-Hunt just before the New Millennium. Chiltern-Hunt commissioned a ground-up restoration, including the reapplication of its iconic Jean Fougerol livery. Upon completion, chassis 26685 was returned to the racetrack at the 2001 Historic Festival at Rockingham. It made several further outings at Ferrari Owners’ Club UK Concours meetings until 2010, when it was acquired by Jacques Bajol and returned to France.

As well-established luxury performance manufacturing leaders in Europe, Mercedes-Benz was eager to build a stronger foothold in the US market in the early 1960s. Having made inroads with the 190SL and 300SL in North America, the 230SL was a huge leap in technology when it arrived. Light and sporty, the tradition of excellence continued as engine size increased and performance improved including disc brakes, V8 engines, and power assist features. By the 1980s the basic formula continued as luxury appointments combined with sporting features evolved into more powerful and impressive offerings. The 500SL was unique to the European market, offering a more powerful engine and lighter construction than the heavier detuned 450SL built for the US market. Additionally, the trim European bumpers created a very sleek and elegant body design over the larger North American regulated heavy and protrude bumper design. The 500SL engine used in the European variant used a lighter alloy engine with a higher compression ratio returning about 245 hp, compared to the 222 hp of the 450SL. The 500SL was also geared higher, and with the 4-speed automatic transmission, could readily achieve higher top speeds, especially beneficial on the Autobahn. Performance tests for each car returned 228 kph top speed and 0-100 kph 7.9 seconds for the 500SL vs 203 kph top speed and 0-100 kph 11.2 seconds for the 450SL. Even when compared to the larger 560SL, introduced in 1986, the 500SL still outperformed the 560 in top speed and 0-60 sprints. Contemporary collectors have grown to realize that these unique performance and desirable aesthetic features exclusive to the 500SL make these handsome original examples both rare and highly desirable to contemporary collectors and enthusiasts. History and Build of This Car This example was manufactured specifically for the European market finished in Anthracite (271) for both the body and removable hardtop and trimmed with black leather interior.

The current owner purchased the car from the original owners in 2008. At the time of purchase, the six-digit odometer indicated 64,665 miles as recorded on application for title paperwork. In 2010, with 65,853 miles indicated, the current owner had the car serviced at Berkeley European Motors, Berkeley, CA replacing the front shock absorbers, both tie rod ends, a new center link, new center link shock, and a general service performed including transmission flush and service. In 2012, a set of BFGoodrich G Force 225/50-16 Sport Comp 2 tires were installed, and alignment performed. In 2021 with 66,166 miles indicated, Germany’s Best, Oakland, CA serviced the car including installing new drive belts, coolant and brake fluids flushed, distributor serviced and ignition timing set, and a brake booster hose replaced. In preparation for sale, October 2023, Germany’s Best performed a minor service, oil and filter change, and the brakes were inspected with 9mm rear and 8mm front recorded at 66,172 miles. Condition Overview Today this 500SL presents in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition throughout. Unlike many of these cars, which often suffer from neglected maintenance, this example is in surprisingly nice condition and has benefited from regular services under current ownership. The Anthracite metallic paint has been metered with a digital paint meter indicating low single digit paint thickness consistent with factory original paint. Surprisingly original throughout, the paint is glossy and representative of a well-cared for 500SL though areas of light scratching are notable on the trunk lid, various minor chips evident, a scratch is visible on the left front fender, and there are two 3-4” fogged surface areas on the trunk and roof. All opening features operate smoothly and shut lines reflect production quality and fit consistent with this era. The car wears a set of 15” vintage Exim “Mesh” wheels. These rare German-made wheels were a highly desirable upgrade when new including raised Mercedes-Benz tri-star center caps. The inside wheel mesh is painted black, and some curb rash is evident on each wheel. A set of BFGoodrich were fitted in 2012 and remain on the car showing ample tread depth. The black leather interior is in excellent condition and is believed to be original throughout. The front seats are in particularly nice condition with excellent foam structure, soft perforated insert material and smooth surfacing. A small tear is evident at the lowest corner of the left side seatback and minor evidence of age can be seen on the driver’s side seat bolster piping. The original door panels, excellent black dashboard, lacquered wood veneer, and very nice center console are all consistently presented and properly detailed. One minor crack is evident on the lower corner of the inlaid wood console veneer. The instrument panel is in excellent condition with excellent numeric indication and operates properly as do the various controls. Importantly, the orange needles are very nice and not excessively faded. A contemporary Sony AM/FM XR7050 cassette stereo is mounted with a separate multi-control sound equalizer. The convertible top is in very good condition, raising and lowering with ease, nestled easily under the hinged hard-shell cover. The engine compartment is clean and tidy with correct factory features in place and correct components and features. The AC system is currently functional, and the fans blow at various settings. The underside of the car is clean, dry, and in generally good condition having been properly maintained by the first and current owner. There is no evidence of structural compromise to the floor or suspension mounting points. Having benefited from indoor storage and professional care, this car starts, runs, and drives exceptionally well. The overall condition and performance are refreshing considering the 38-year age. Acceleration and traction are excellent on local roadways and smooth on highways. The 5-Liter fuel injected V8 engine functions properly and reliably. Highway speeds deliver smooth operation, excellent stability, and rewarding driving experiences are even more enjoyable with the added rarity of the 500SL series European designation. Items Included with the Car This 500SL is accompanied by a body color hardtop, an owner’s manual package and case, selected service records under current/second ownership, a car cover, a set of black floor mats, a tool roll and tools, a jack and safety triangle, and two hardtop handle levers. 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Roadster Farland Classic Restoration Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The current owner purchased the car from the original owners in 2008. At the time of purchase, the six-digit odometer indicated 64,665 miles as recorded on application for title paperwork. In 2010, with 65,853 miles indicated, the current owner had the car serviced at Berkeley European Motors, Berkeley, CA replacing the front shock absorbers, both tie rod ends, a new center link, new center link shock, and a general service performed including transmission flush and service. In 2012, a set of BFGoodrich G Force 225/50-16 Sport Comp 2 tires were installed, and alignment performed. In 2021 with 66,166 miles indicated, Germany’s Best, Oakland, CA serviced the car including installing new drive belts, coolant and brake fluids flushed, distributor serviced and ignition timing set, and a brake booster hose replaced. In preparation for sale, October 2023, Germany’s Best performed a minor service, oil and filter change, and the brakes were inspected with 9mm rear and 8mm front recorded at 66,172 miles. Condition Overview Today this 500SL presents in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition throughout. Unlike many of these cars, which often suffer from neglected maintenance, this example is in surprisingly nice condition and has benefited from regular services under current ownership. The Anthracite metallic paint has been metered with a digital paint meter indicating low single digit paint thickness consistent with factory original paint. Surprisingly original throughout, the paint is glossy and representative of a well-cared for 500SL though areas of light scratching are notable on the trunk lid, various minor chips evident, a scratch is visible on the left front fender, and there are two 3-4” fogged surface areas on the trunk and roof. All opening features operate smoothly and shut lines reflect production quality and fit consistent with this era. The car wears a set of 15” vintage Exim “Mesh” wheels. These rare German-made wheels were a highly desirable upgrade when new including raised Mercedes-Benz tri-star center caps. The inside wheel mesh is painted black, and some curb rash is evident on each wheel. A set of BFGoodrich were fitted in 2012 and remain on the car showing ample tread depth. The black leather interior is in excellent condition and is believed to be original throughout. The front seats are in particularly nice condition with excellent foam structure, soft perforated insert material and smooth surfacing. A small tear is evident at the lowest corner of the left side seatback and minor evidence of age can be seen on the driver’s side seat bolster piping. The original door panels, excellent black dashboard, lacquered wood veneer, and very nice center console are all consistently presented and properly detailed. One minor crack is evident on the lower corner of the inlaid wood console veneer. The instrument panel is in excellent condition with excellent numeric indication and operates properly as do the various controls. Importantly, the orange needles are very nice and not excessively faded. A contemporary Sony AM/FM XR7050 cassette stereo is mounted with a separate multi-control sound equalizer. The convertible top is in very good condition, raising and lowering with ease, nestled easily under the hinged hard-shell cover. The engine compartment is clean and tidy with correct factory features in place and correct components and features. The AC system is currently functional, and the fans blow at various settings. The underside of the car is clean, dry, and in generally good condition having been properly maintained by the first and current owner. There is no evidence of structural compromise to the floor or suspension mounting points. Having benefited from indoor storage and professional care, this car starts, runs, and drives exceptionally well. The overall condition and performance are refreshing considering the 38-year age. Acceleration and traction are excellent on local roadways and smooth on highways. The 5-Liter fuel injected V8 engine functions properly and reliably. Highway speeds deliver smooth operation, excellent stability, and rewarding driving experiences are even more enjoyable with the added rarity of the 500SL series European designation. Items Included with the Car This 500SL is accompanied by a body color hardtop, an owner’s manual package and case, selected service records under current/second ownership, a car cover, a set of black floor mats, a tool roll and tools, a jack and safety triangle, and two hardtop handle levers.

The 330 GTC was replaced in 1968 by the superior 365 GTC. The styling remaining almost the same with differences being limited to non-vented front wings and the addition of new vents on the bonnet. The engine was, of course, an enlarged 4.4 Litre engine boasting more torque and horsepower. This vastly improved the performance of the car. The 365 GTC retained the independent rear suspension employing coil springs and wishbones, the same of its immediate predecessor, though this was a relatively recent departure for Ferrari. Brakes and transmission were also substantially improved to match the upgraded motor. Stopping power came from servo-assisted disc brakes all-round with a split circuit system. Integrating the gearbox with the final drive gave the car a balanced 50:50 weight distribution. A 365 GTC is a super rare and highly desirable beast with just 150 examples being built (including 22 UK RHD supplied examples) between the 1968 and 1970 with an on the road price when new of £7,900 (£1,384 more than the outgoing 275 GTB/4). First ordered by Maranello Concessionaires as a demonstrator for their UK dealership in 1970, this example is one of just 22 cars to be supplied new in RHD to the UK. Deviating from the usual specification of light blue for their demonstrators, this 365 GTC was ordered new in the rare period hue of Grigio Mahmoud, a dark grey with undertones of blue. A colour so good in fact, it would result in the car being chosen for the front cover of Autocar’s road test booklet! The history of this 365 GTC is known and documented from new. The impressive history file chronicles work carried out by each of the car’s owners, the mileage covered, and its registration numbers through time. The highlight of this detailed history is surely it’s comprehensively illustrated, concours-level, bare metal restoration by DK Engineering. This example found home with its first owner on 22nd May 1970, Mr D. Baigler of Wells Street, London. His ownership would see the car receive service work on no fewer than five documented occasions, intermittently throughout his 7 year and 17,500 mile ownership. The car would change hands in August of 1977, finding residence with Mr Paul Alexander, a close friend of DK's founder David Cottingham as well as a prominent collector and racer. He applied his personal registration mark to the car ‘PJN 1’ Over the course of the next 10 years, he would cover just under 20,000 miles with the car, servicing handled by various Ferrari specialists, including DK Engineering in its earliest years, who rebuilt the differential in 1980. 7 years later, Alexander transferred the car to his wife’s name for two years, covering an additional 1,100 miles or so and re-registering the car ‘PA 222’. By this time, the car had been refinished in Rosso retaining its Nero interior. During her custodianship, the car shared a garage with the ex-Lord Hesketh Porsche 911 3.0 RS! Succeeding this, the car once more passed into the very capable care of Mr Lentin, who at the time also owned a 340 America Vignale. Lentin would keep the car for 4 years and use the car sparingly, covering just 1,700 miles. In 1993, this 365 GTC was purchased by Mr Lochlann Quinn of Dublin who would own the car for 20 years. The car was purchased from Nicolas Mee and would be used frequently before resting up for a couple of years. In 2007, Bob Houghton tidied up the car cosmetically, re-chroming all 51 elements of the trim, as well as refinishing the car in a Grigio hue. In 2012, the car received its Ferrari red book Classiche certification which accompanies the history folio and original book pack today. The car was then purchased by DK's owner and founder David Cottingham in 2013, at which point he instigated a bare metal restoration with the business, creating arguably the finest 365 GTC extant. The merits of owning and founding a business with restoration so close to its heart, this 365 GTC received a degree of attention to detail and quality that was, and still is, unheard of on a GTC. The retail value of the work was in excess of £400,000. No stone was left unturned during the restoration, and we comprehensively documented the process. The car was stripped to bare metal, at which point we were able to find a sample of the car's original colour - which enabled us to repaint the car to exactly the correct shade. Following its restoration, David parted ways with the car to fund the ever-growing DK premises – only to buy the car back just one year later. David kept the car for three further years until selling to a close friend in 2020. David Cottingham jumped at the opportunity to own the car once more, as an example we have now known for 43 years! The history file is with the car and documents the history with invoices and photographs, as well as a copy of the ‘Autocar’ Roadtests booklet, the edition which this very 365 GTC features on the front cover. This car is also accompanied by its Ferrari red book Classiche Certification and original book pack. Having covered just 500 miles since restoration, this fabulous 365 GTC is available to view at our showrooms outside London by appointment. 1970 Ferrari 365 GTC D.K.

This 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider is finished in one of the ultimate color combinations for this shape- Giallo Modena over Black Leather. Showing just over 10,000 miles, this car has been well kept from new and remains in excellent condition throughout. When new, these cars were offered in 3 body styles: the Berlinetta like this one, a Spider, and a GTS with a removable targa-style top. Although every enthusiast has their own preference, it is undeniable that top-down driving is the ultimate way to experience the howling V8 right behind your head. Penned by the Pininfarina design studio, the F355 is an evolution of its predecessor, the 348, yet is arguably improved in every possible way. The interior of the F355 is beautiful in its simplicity. A pair of comfortable, nicely bolstered bucket seats are separated by a console that houses storage, buttons, and the all-important stainless shifter protruding from its metal gate. Sitting in the driver’s seat, a pod with 4 deeply hooded gauges sits in front of you, with three more auxiliary gauges in the lower center of the dashboard. This car comes from an era before screens became prominent features inside Ferraris, giving it a timeless, classic look inside. Sitting right behind the passenger compartment is what sets the F355 apart from any other Ferrari- the screaming flat-plane-crank 3.5 liter V8. Although the base of the engine isn’t tremendously different from that found in the 348, the F355 features brand-new 5-valve heads that increase flow dramatically and allow for a redline of 8,500 rpm. Producing 375 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, the F355 is still fast today with a sub-5 second 0-60 mph time and a top speed in excess of 180 mph. The F355 was the first Ferrari to be offered with an F1-style paddle shift gearbox, which was offered alongside the 6-speed manual beginning in 1997. Although the technology was novel at the time, it does not stack up today and the 6-speed manual in this car is the only transmission to have in your F355. It is easy to fall in love with an F355 by just looking at the body, but the appreciation for the car only grows once you get behind the wheel. This example is in excellent condition overall, and when combined with the outstanding color combination, it truly fulfills the role of 1990s dream car. 1996 Ferrari 355 Spider ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Just 242 examples of the Maserati 3500 GT Spyder were completed between 1959 and 1964, with coachbuilder Vignale tasked with styling the model’s transformation from coupé to convertible. Factory records note that chassis number AM101 1453 holds a February 1963 production date. As a late car, the 3.5-litre straight-six swapped carburettors in favour of Lucas fuel injection to deliver 235 brake horsepower via a five-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in Nero over a Cinghiale interior, this GTi was delivered to Mr Antonio Turati of Milan. The car remained in the city under the care of its second owner before it was exported to Sweden, where it was enjoyed by Mr Uno Lingmark for more than 15 years. The Maserati is believed to have then arrived in the United Kingdom and was changed to silver over red upholstery. Come 1988, the Spyder was sold at auction and registered by Mr Jack Levy of North Devon. He commissioned Maserati specialist Bill McGrath with a restoration before selling in 1995, at which point New Jersey resident Mr Larry Auriana took ownership. Following a spell in Stamford, Connecticut, the Spyder was acquired by a custodian based in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. Chassis number 1453 was sold again in January 2008, with the new keeper taking it back to United States to live in Houston, Texas. The Maserati was next owned in Vienna. While in the Austrian capital, Frantz Classic Cars of Vösendorf embarked upon a second restoration. The engine was rebuilt at a cost €10,247 (invoice available to view on file) before the bodywork was prepared and repainted by Carrozzeria Autosport of Modena for €78,862. It is believed that between 2018 and 2019, the 3500 GTi made its way to Bacchelli & Villa in Modena to be returned to its factory colours, as the car presents in today. Subsequently, it was acquired by the British consignor in 2022. Most recently, between May and November 2024, it returned to McGrath Maserati. The inlet manifold, water pump, and exhaust were rebuilt, the wiring tweaked, plus the front suspension, gearbox, brakes, and steering system refreshed in work totalling £43,671. Please note, while the engine number appears to have been restamped, the internal number is confirmed as correct by Maserati Archivio Storico. Equipped with fuel injection, a ZF gearbox, disc brakes, and Borrani wire wheels, here is one of the most desirably specified examples of the Maserati 3500 GTi Spyder. It is made more appealing courtesy of being accompanied by an aluminium hardtop and sizeable history file. 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi Spyder by Vignale RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Factory records note that chassis number AM101 1453 holds a February 1963 production date. As a late car, the 3.5-litre straight-six swapped carburettors in favour of Lucas fuel injection to deliver 235 brake horsepower via a five-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in Nero over a Cinghiale interior, this GTi was delivered to Mr Antonio Turati of Milan. The car remained in the city under the care of its second owner before it was exported to Sweden, where it was enjoyed by Mr Uno Lingmark for more than 15 years. The Maserati is believed to have then arrived in the United Kingdom and was changed to silver over red upholstery. Come 1988, the Spyder was sold at auction and registered by Mr Jack Levy of North Devon. He commissioned Maserati specialist Bill McGrath with a restoration before selling in 1995, at which point New Jersey resident Mr Larry Auriana took ownership. Following a spell in Stamford, Connecticut, the Spyder was acquired by a custodian based in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. Chassis number 1453 was sold again in January 2008, with the new keeper taking it back to United States to live in Houston, Texas. The Maserati was next owned in Vienna. While in the Austrian capital, Frantz Classic Cars of Vösendorf embarked upon a second restoration. The engine was rebuilt at a cost €10,247 (invoice available to view on file) before the bodywork was prepared and repainted by Carrozzeria Autosport of Modena for €78,862. It is believed that between 2018 and 2019, the 3500 GTi made its way to Bacchelli & Villa in Modena to be returned to its factory colours, as the car presents in today. Subsequently, it was acquired by the British consignor in 2022. Most recently, between May and November 2024, it returned to McGrath Maserati. The inlet manifold, water pump, and exhaust were rebuilt, the wiring tweaked, plus the front suspension, gearbox, brakes, and steering system refreshed in work totalling £43,671. Please note, while the engine number appears to have been restamped, the internal number is confirmed as correct by Maserati Archivio Storico. Equipped with fuel injection, a ZF gearbox, disc brakes, and Borrani wire wheels, here is one of the most desirably specified examples of the Maserati 3500 GTi Spyder. It is made more appealing courtesy of being accompanied by an aluminium hardtop and sizeable history file.
