RUNNING WITH THE BULLS Replete with all the grace and power of Pamplona’s bulls, the Lamborghini Miura P400 was a revolutionary sports car in every sense. The Miura’s success might have been even more surprising had it not been engineered by what was essentially an all-star team of some of the era’s greatest designers. Giampaolo Dallara, Paolo Stanzani, and racing driver Bob Wallace, each with an outstanding resume of their own, collaborated to produce what is arguably each man’s greatest creation. The marvel of engineering featured a single-cast unit for its gearbox and transverse mid/rear-mounted V-12 engine, which was a 3.9-liter development of Giotto Bizzarrini’s purpose-built Lamborghini V-12. As a true paragon of cutting-edge design, the Miura was bodied with an external form abounding in sexy sophistication. Marcello Gandini, then just a 22-year-old junior designer at Bertone, penned one of the most celebrated sports car shapes ever conceived, a deft resolution of sinewy muscularity and voluptuous curves. The beauty was more than skin-deep, though, as the Miura matched its appearance with metric-shattering performance—for a short time, the Miura P400 proudly held the mantle of the world’s fastest production car. Among a combined output of approximately 753 total examples produced of all types, the original P400 variant was built in a relatively modest quantity of 270 cars. To this day the P400 remains prized by discerning collectors for being the purest and most original expression of the Miura design, making it the most desirable version of Sant’Agata’s legendary bull in the view of many enthusiasts. CAR NUMBER EIGHT This beautifully presented Miura claims a very early build position, a four-year restoration by a world-renowned marque specialist, and certification by Lamborghini Polo Storico, resulting in one of the most desirable examples offered in recent memory. According to the information in Simon Kidston’s respected The Lamborghini Miura Register, chassis number 01024 is just the third production example built, and the eighth Miura overall (including two prototypes and three pre-production cars). As a very early example, this Miura is characterized by distinctive differences from later P400 examples, primarily being one of the 125 early “thin-chassis” cars whose frame members were constructed of slightly thinner-gauge metal. It is worth noting, however, that Kidston’s register is largely based on Bertone records, which have long been known to occasionally contradict factory build logs. Recognizing these discrepancies, at least one Miura authority believes this car should more properly be considered a prototype or pre-production example, considering that many details of 01024 are consistent with the prototypes, including the early “010” chassis number (which was used for approximately only 11 cars); a body that was hand-hammered on a wood buck; nine center-console lights, as opposed to five in later cars; and a lack of seatbelts, back-up lights, and the numerous body stampings that appeared on later Miuras. Chassis number 01024 was also the first of just 26 P400 examples to be finished in Bleu Miura paint, which was handsomely complemented with an interior in Senape (a mustard color also known as Gobi). Dispatched in April 1967 to the Milan-based dealer Lamborcar, the Miura was in turn delivered to the first owner, a marque enthusiast named Cappé. Believed to have been exported to the United States early in its life, the Lamborghini proceeded through currently unknown ownership before being offered in August 1992, by which point the coachwork had been repainted in red. The Miura was then purchased by Dr. George Primbs, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon residing in Santa Barbara, California, who went on to retain possession for over two decades. Following a remarkable 25-year period of care, the P400 was sold in December 2016 to the current owners, discerning marque enthusiasts based in Northern California. The new owners immediately submitted the Lamborghini to the Bobileff Motorcar Company, one of the world’s foremost experts in Miura restorations. Chassis number 01024 was then comprehensively refurbished to factory standards over the next four-plus years. This work included several upgrades for enhanced safety and drivability, including reinforcement of the internal gussets in the frame for improved rigidity, and upgrades to the electrical system and fire safety system. This meticulous work was undertaken with the late former Lamborghini Development Engineer Claudio Zampolli in consultation to ensure optimal execution. Additionally, the engine and gearbox received a split-sump modification (similar to the design of later cars), which substantially improves component longevity by eliminating shared lubrication. The refurbishment also included a return to the beautiful factory-original color combination of Bleu Miura over Senape. Because the owners wished to create an even more beautiful and elegant interior, and because Lamborghini factory logs record the car was originally upholstered in Pelle, a choice was made to re-trim the cockpit and seats in a light ivory leather, with complementary fabric inserts woven by the original period OEM vendor, and Senape carpeting. The dashboard, which was trimmed in black leather when the consignors discovered the car, and which they believe to be original, was reupholstered in Nero, making for a magnificent interior livery. In order to maximize the Miura’s presentation, the consignors went to great lengths and expense to acquire an original owner’s manual and parts catalogue from a collector in Germany. These extremely rare period books are in exceptional condition and greatly enhance the Lamborghini’s overall completeness and authenticity. In April 2022, the Lamborghini was issued factory certification with a Certificate of Authenticity and a Polo Storico certification book. This documentation confirms that the P400 is fitted with its matching-numbers V-12 engine, and that it shows overwhelmingly correct presentation. On the heels of the expert restoration and factory certification, the Miura was presented at the 2024 Concorso Italiano, and it was awarded the Best Lamborghini and Best Modern Car at the Inglenook winery’s The Napa Event-Celebrating Motorsports in September 2025. In total, this extremely early-production thin-chassis Miura P400 is one of the most impressive examples to be publicly offered in some time. Having only a smattering of event use in its history, and considering its early position in the Miura build sequence, this car would make a fantastic candidate for presentation at major concours d’elegance and flagship Lamborghini events, or it may be enjoyed on the open road. Documented with an entry in the authoritative model-specific source The Lamborghini Miura Register, as well as the important Polo Storico certification book, this sensational benchmark V-12 supercar is sure to add distinctive flair to any sporting collection. 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 by Bertone RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Maserati Bora stands as one of the most significant milestones in the brand’s history, marking Maserati’s transition into the era of mid-engined grand touring cars. Introduced in the early 1970s, it combined Italian design excellence with advanced engineering, offering a refined alternative to the more aggressive supercars of its time. Its clean, timeless lines were penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, resulting in a silhouette that remains both distinctive and understated. We are offering this 1972 Maserati Bora 4.7, first registered in October 1972 and presented in the elegant and highly period-correct shade of Blu Chiaro Metallizzato (Bleu Celeste), complemented by a black leather interior. As with all Bora models, it features the characteristic brushed stainless steel roof, a subtle yet iconic design element that enhances its unique presence. This example is powered by the desirable 4.7-litre V8, delivering 310 horsepower through a 5-speed manual gearbox. Only 289 units were produced with this engine, making it the rarer and more sought-after configuration among collectors. The Bora was also notable for its advanced features at the time, including a hydraulic system developed in collaboration with Citroën, operating the pedals, seats, and pop-up headlights, further underlining its technical sophistication. The car benefits from a complete body-off restoration carried out between 2018 and 2020, with approximately €26,500 in documented invoices, supported by a comprehensive photographic file. Since completion, the vehicle has covered only around 100 kilometres, ensuring a presentation and driving experience that closely reflects the quality of the restoration. The odometer currently reads 32,750 kilometres. Originally part of the renowned Serge Pozzoli collection, this Bora offers an added layer of provenance that will appeal to discerning enthusiasts. It has been registered under its current French ownership since January 2021. Further highlights include its original Campagnolo stainless steel wheels and the presence of its original “Use and Maintenance” booklet, both valuable elements contributing to the car’s authenticity and collectability. The Maserati Bora is widely regarded as one of the most usable classic supercars of its era, combining performance, comfort, and exclusivity in a way few contemporaries could match. Well-preserved and correctly restored examples such as this are increasingly difficult to source, particularly in such a refined colour combination and with desirable provenance. 1972 Maserati Bora AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A Porsche that sharpens every one of your senses: the Porsche 930 Turbo. Among enthusiasts, it is famously known as the Widowmaker. Why the Widow? Because this ‘neunelfer’, in addition to its exceptional 3.0-litre boxer engine, is equipped with a substantial turbo. The 911S was already renowned for its dual personality. You could cruise in comfort, but the moment you demanded power from the boxer, you had to be fully attentive, with the majority of the weight resting over the rear axle. The name Widowmaker should already set the senses alight, yet the car is not truly “dangerous.” After all, Ferdinand Porsche himself presented the very first 930 Turbo to his daughter, Louise Piech. The recognition of this fiery 911’s potential is far from modest. Perhaps the 911 Turbo lineage mirrors the life of a typical artist: it began (with the 930) wild and untamed, leaving many deeply impressed and occasionally sprawled in the hedgerows. Today, after decades of refinement, structure, and balance, they are more controlled, less eccentric, and the experience is somewhat “tamer.” At the time, the 930 Turbo was a direct competitor to the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 365 GT4 BB. With a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds, it remains an incredibly rapid car even today. Following the announcement of its production, Porsche was inundated with orders and reservations. The initial plan to produce 500 “first editions” was immediately doubled to 1,000. Ultimately, just under 18,000 units were delivered worldwide, leaving many early customers eager to secure one. And it is precisely one of those 500 “first edition” examples that we now have in our showroom! Originally delivered in Germany and residing in the Netherlands since 1991, its stamped service booklets confirm the original mileage. Special features include the turbo stripes on the rear, gold-lettered Porsche logos on the doors, and rare gold-painted wheels—perfectly capturing the retro, audacious spirit of Porsche engineers in the 1970s. There is so much more to tell, and we warmly invite serious collectors to submit an enquiry about this truly remarkable piece of automotive history. 1975 Porsche 930 Turbo 3.0 Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Among enthusiasts, it is famously known as the Widowmaker. Why the Widow? Because this ‘neunelfer’, in addition to its exceptional 3.0-litre boxer engine, is equipped with a substantial turbo. The 911S was already renowned for its dual personality. You could cruise in comfort, but the moment you demanded power from the boxer, you had to be fully attentive, with the majority of the weight resting over the rear axle. The name Widowmaker should already set the senses alight, yet the car is not truly “dangerous.” After all, Ferdinand Porsche himself presented the very first 930 Turbo to his daughter, Louise Piech. The recognition of this fiery 911’s potential is far from modest. Perhaps the 911 Turbo lineage mirrors the life of a typical artist: it began (with the 930) wild and untamed, leaving many deeply impressed and occasionally sprawled in the hedgerows. Today, after decades of refinement, structure, and balance, they are more controlled, less eccentric, and the experience is somewhat “tamer.” At the time, the 930 Turbo was a direct competitor to the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 365 GT4 BB. With a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds, it remains an incredibly rapid car even today. Following the announcement of its production, Porsche was inundated with orders and reservations. The initial plan to produce 500 “first editions” was immediately doubled to 1,000. Ultimately, just under 18,000 units were delivered worldwide, leaving many early customers eager to secure one. And it is precisely one of those 500 “first edition” examples that we now have in our showroom! Originally delivered in Germany and residing in the Netherlands since 1991, its stamped service booklets confirm the original mileage. Special features include the turbo stripes on the rear, gold-lettered Porsche logos on the doors, and rare gold-painted wheels—perfectly capturing the retro, audacious spirit of Porsche engineers in the 1970s. There is so much more to tell, and we warmly invite serious collectors to submit an enquiry about this truly remarkable piece of automotive history.

The Renault Alpine GTA was produced by Renault owned Alpine between 1986 and 1991. Based on its predecessor the Alpine 310 the new car boasted body integrated bumpers and distinctive front and rear lights these made the GTA one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time. Powered by a 2458 cc V6 turbocharged engine producing 200 bhp which propelled the car from 0-60mph in just 5.8 seconds and onto a top speed of 155mph. Alpine never made a convertible version of the Alpine GTA however German tuning company Autohaus Pahnhenrich GmBH saw a gap int the market for a convertible Alpine. The process was relatively straightforward thanks to its steel backbone body and glass fibre bodywork and only required minimal strengthening to the bulkhead along with rear roll over bar. Pahnhenrich conversions like all German bespoke built cars were bound by TUV rules and approvals which required every part being expected and declared road legal in Germany. While this made such conversions expensive it at least guaranteed that the build quality was to a high standard. Pahnhenrich take on the Alpine GTA was extreme and included fitting a wide format body kit along with 15” three piece BBS wheels with the rears being 11” wide, bespoke engine cover and a modest performance increase to 220 bhp. The Alpine GTA Turbo convertible by Pahnhenrich offered here at Autostorico is finished in Burgundy with matching bespoke Koenig leather interior. This exceptional 17,121 mile example was road registered in Germany in late 1997 and sold to the first UK owner in December 1999. Purchased by its current owner a well-known car enthusiast in August 2023 this stunning example has continued to lead a pampered, no expense sparred life. Recent works have included fitting new period correct carpets along with a re-trim in Koenig leather interior a new hood and a mechanical overhaul. Offered for sale with a current V5 registration document, TUV certificate invoices and other related history. 1999 Renault Alpine GTA Turbo Cabriolet Pahnhenrich Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The halcyon days of Group C Are there any words more evocative to a motorsport buff than Group C? It was an endurance racing era for the free radicals – a loose framework of rules designed to encourage designers and engineers to push the technological envelope further than it had ever been pushed before. Group C harnessed the newfangled wizardry of ground effect, which manipulated the very air we breathe and pushed speeds to the boundaries of physics. Plucky privateers stood every chance of upsetting the major manufacturers. Grids and grandstands alike were bursting at the seams. And as a result of all of the above, every household brand name you could think of adorned the soap bar-shaped cars in a kaleidoscope of striking ways. It was motorsport at its most unadulterated and excessive. This was the 1980s, after all. The Sauber Mercedes C9 If Porsche dangled a carrot for the rest to chase in the formative years of Group C, Mercedes-Benz gobbled it up with the Sauber-built C9. The wedge-shaped hurricane-inducing Silver Arrow resulted from an unlikely marriage between Mercedes-Benz and Sauber, the tiny Zurich-based motorsport outfit founded by Peter Sauber. An evolution of the C8, the C9 was the result of a simple recipe but one which utilized the very best ingredients. An incredibly rigid monocoque chassis built from lightweight aluminium. Rear dampers mounted longitudinally so as to reduce the ride height and ergo the centre of gravity. A wind-cheating body with a complex maze of concealed dams, ducts and tunnels. And the pièce de resistance? The mighty five-litre twin-turbocharged two- and four-valve M118 and M119 Mercedes engines, specially built and tuned in Stuttgart. The engines were undoubtedly the C9s’ trump card. Despite producing as much as 800HP in qualifying specification, they revved to a relatively low 7,000rpm, thus reducing stress and increasing reliability and efficiency. The C9s were fast. Insanely fast. On the Mulsanne Straight during qualifying for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989, the C9 of Mauro Baldi, Kenny Acheson and Gianfranco Brancatelli clocked a scarcely believable 248mph. Nobody could touch the C9s during the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship. The Silver Arrows won eight of a possible nine races, missing out only at Dijon because of an issue with the Michelin tyres. Unusually, the 24 Hours of Le Mans was not a part of the top-flight endurance championship that year. But suffice to say, the C9s dominated in France, too, crossing the finish line first, second and fifth. This Sauber Mercedes C9 The Sauber Mercedes C9 we’re honoured to be offering for sale in chassis number ‘C9.87.01’, the very first example produced. There was to be no motor show tour or press drive for the radical new model, however. Duty called. Swiss-German pride was at stake! This C9 was earmarked for both the FIA World Sportscar Championship and the domestic German Supercup in 1987. For the top-flight international rounds, ‘C9.87.01’ raced under the semi-Works Kouros Racing Team banner. Sauber had secured a lucrative sponsorship brand from Kouros, a fragrance deal in the Yves Saint Laurent family, in addition to direct support from the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart. During the six races it contested in 1987, this C9 was driven predominantly by Mike Thackwell and Henri Pescarolo with the race number 61. Born in New Zealand, Thackwell was a versatile driver with a wealth of experience in sports cars and single-seaters, including Formula 1. Pescarolo is a man who needs no introduction. The undisputed godfather of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Frenchman has contested the endurance classic a staggering 33 times, winning outright on four occasion. Crucially, all four wins were scored before the 1987 season. Racing at the very highest level of international endurance racing, this Mercedes-powered C9 competed at the most history-steeped venues of the world: Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring and most significantly, Le Mans. At the Circuit de la Sarthe, Thackwell and Pescarolo were joined by the Japanese driver Hideki Okada. Ahead of the Le Mans weekend, the Saubers were reportedly the paddock’s dark-horse bets for victory. And those bets remained in great shape following qualifying – the numbers 62 and 61 Kouros Racing Team entries lining up seventh and eighth, respectively. Alas, Thackwell, Pescarolo and Okada’s race was thwarted by a transmission issue after 16 hours and 123 laps of running. For this car’s final event of 1987, the ADAC Bilstein Super Sprint at the Nürburgring, the Frenchman Jean-Louis Schlesser (nephew of the great Jo Schlesser) was invited to drive. It proved to be a stroke of genius on Sauber’s part. Against the likes of Hans-Joachim Stuck, Bob Wollek and Jochen Mass, Schlesser tore to an exquisite victory, crossing the line over 10 seconds ahead of Stuck’s Works-entered Porsche 962C. The 1988 season As Sauber’s Kouros sponsorship deal concluded at the end of the season and Mercedes’ top brass played a game of musical chairs in Stuttgart, so the team was rebranded Sauber Mercedes. If the Kouros Racing Team was a Works-assisted effort, Sauber Mercedes was an all-out factory assault. Mercedes even drafted in AEG-Olympia, the electronics giant it owned, as the title sponsor. The resulting circuit board-inspired livery for the C9s ranks, in our opinion, as one of the coolest of them all. With a new DTM programme anchored around its 190E 2.3-16 saloon kindled at the same time, Mercedes’ new management in Stuttgart clearly recognised the benefits motorsport could bring, both from a technological perspective and a commercial one. They only had to look at their next-door neighbours over at Porsche, who’d dominated the Group C formula with their 956/962 prototypes, to appreciate that. After his fantastic showing at the Nürburgring at the tail end of 1987, Jean Louis Schlesser was made a permanent fixture behind the wheel of ‘C9.87.01’. This Works C9’s FIA World Sportscar Championship duties were limited to practice sessions at Jerez, Jarama, Monza, Silverstone and Le Mans. For these vital knowledge-building sessions, Schlesser shared the car with Mauro Baldi, the Italian driver who’d famously go on the win the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1990 with Sauber Mercedes. Famously, he’d also win both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Focus for this car was instead given to the 1988 German Supercup championship, which Schlesser would tackle single-handedly. The season comprised five rounds: book-ending events at the Nürburgring and races at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz in between. Schlesser showed exceptional pace throughout the campaign, winning at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz. In finishing fifth in the finale in the Eifel mountains, he clinched outright victory in the championship – an incredible feat given the might of the opposition. With its work complete in Europe, there was one final event for ‘C9.87.01’ to contest: the 360km of Sandown Park in Australia – the curtain closer on the 1988 FIA World Sports-Prototype Championship (the Group C class of the FIA World Sportscar Championship). For the first and only time in its competition career, this C9 wore the race number of its Works sister car, 62. Its two drivers down under were Mauro Baldi and the Swedish Formula 1 legend (and 1997 Le Mans winner) Stefan Johansson. The duo finished second overall, ironically behind the man who’d written ‘C9.87.01’ into the history books: Jean Louis Schlesser. Post competitive life By no means were this car’s factory duties over, however. The year 1989 would see the introduction of the new Mercedes M119 engine, with its four valves per cylinder and aluminium cylinder heads. This chassis was the very first to be fitted with the ultimate-spec engine and was reportedly used for extensive test and development ahead of the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship, most likely in the hands of the great Jochen Mass. Owing to its significance as the very first C9 built, this car was honourably retired at the end of 1989 and retained by Peter Sauber in his personal collection/museum. ‘C9.87.01’ was refinished in the iconic silver livery in which the C9s dominated the 1989 season – an ode to the memory and success of Mercedes’ all-conquering Silver Arrows of the past. Resplendent in its silver gown, this car made one final public appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, as part of an exhibition showcasing the most famous cars to have won at Le Mans. A restoration of epic proportions ‘C9.87.01’ was acquired by its current owner directly from Peter Sauber in 2015. A discerning German collector with a keen sense of duty when it comes to preserving ultra-significant competition cars and sharing them with the world, he took the decision to comprehensively restore this Sauber Mercedes C9 with a view to creating a lightning-fast, bulletproof and incredibly safe Group C prototype with which to win the world’s greatest historic motorsport events around the world. Who better to explain the gravity of this exhaustive project than the founder of the company entrusted with carrying it out, Nigel Medcalf of the renowned UK-based race preparation specialist Moto Historics? “This was an enormous project which took us over two years to complete from start to finish. We worked to the client’s brief from the outset – he wanted a car which was safe, beautifully set up, reliable and accompanied by a comprehensive spares package. “To begin with we carefully and methodically disassembled the car, ordering and labelling every part, including the spares which were already with the car. Every component was then sent for crack testing. Once they were signed off, we realised we had a spare set of corners, so built them up as far as we could to establish if anything was missing. “We discovered there were two right-hand lower wishbones, for example, but no left-hand pieces, so we had a set fabricated. Likewise, we found that the front uprights were cracked, so we sent them away to be digitally scanned so we could refabricate them from aluminium. As with all the parts we fabricated for this Sauber Mercedes, and there were a lot, they were made to look identical to the period parts. Our mission was to build a car that a period Sauber mechanic could look at say was spot on. There were no compromises. “Next we removed the M119 engine which was in the car and gave it to our friends at INIT Racing to be stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Some of the guys at INIT formerly worked with Ilmor Engineering, which was responsible for building Mercedes’ Formula 1 engines during the McLaren-Mercedes era. As such, they had connections with the factory in Stuttgart and we were able to consult directly with Mercedes on a number of the C9’s particulars. “This proved especially useful when we decided to reverse engineer and build a complete replica of the engine based around a M119 block, crank and heads I had acquired. We machined everything to ensure the engine was identical to the original. The amount of work was mind-blowing – it took 18 months alone to complete and we had to go to great lengths to ensure everything was spot on. That meant building the oil pumps by hand, creating tooling to make silicon pipework and commissioning a company in Japan to refabricate the belts, which have a very specific tooth pattern. Likewise, so much went into the cylinder heads and the Nikasil-coated block. “The gearbox was stripped, inspected and rebuilt, including all the spare ratios. Once we got down to the tub, we engaged a company we know which specialises in aircraft crack testing to come and inspect it. Then there was the methodical period of putting everything back together, initially on the original corners with which the car arrived. There were so many headaches to overcome – take the wheel bearings, for example, which we had to refabricate and took eight months alone! “For ease of use with today’s technology, we switched the ECU from a Bosch to a MOTEC system. However, we fitted it inside replica Bosch casing and had wiring looms made identical to the originals. The entire electrical system is indistinguishable from a visual point of view, but incorporates modern – and therefore reliable – technology. Finally, remedial work was made to the bodywork and the fragile floors were replaced. For preservation of the chassis, we also fabricated our own centre floor plank. “We then conducted a number of wet and dry tests at Donington with Sam Hancock at the wheel. Once we were happy with the fundamental set-up of the car, we went to the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, where Sam was really quick. Once we’d signed off on the car in its original configuration, we installed the spare corners we’d built along with the new engine and any other spare parts so we could sign off on those as well. The spares package, including the engine, is conveniently stored and ordered in a number of bespoke flight cases we had made, which streamlines everything at the racetrack and maximises efficiency. In every respect, this Sauber Mercedes is now on the button and ready to go racing. It would be a pleasure to continue running and looking after this special car for the new owner.” 1987 Sauber-Mercedes C9 Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This Sauber Mercedes C9 The Sauber Mercedes C9 we’re honoured to be offering for sale in chassis number ‘C9.87.01’, the very first example produced. There was to be no motor show tour or press drive for the radical new model, however. Duty called. Swiss-German pride was at stake! This C9 was earmarked for both the FIA World Sportscar Championship and the domestic German Supercup in 1987. For the top-flight international rounds, ‘C9.87.01’ raced under the semi-Works Kouros Racing Team banner. Sauber had secured a lucrative sponsorship brand from Kouros, a fragrance deal in the Yves Saint Laurent family, in addition to direct support from the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart. During the six races it contested in 1987, this C9 was driven predominantly by Mike Thackwell and Henri Pescarolo with the race number 61. Born in New Zealand, Thackwell was a versatile driver with a wealth of experience in sports cars and single-seaters, including Formula 1. Pescarolo is a man who needs no introduction. The undisputed godfather of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Frenchman has contested the endurance classic a staggering 33 times, winning outright on four occasion. Crucially, all four wins were scored before the 1987 season. Racing at the very highest level of international endurance racing, this Mercedes-powered C9 competed at the most history-steeped venues of the world: Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring and most significantly, Le Mans. At the Circuit de la Sarthe, Thackwell and Pescarolo were joined by the Japanese driver Hideki Okada. Ahead of the Le Mans weekend, the Saubers were reportedly the paddock’s dark-horse bets for victory. And those bets remained in great shape following qualifying – the numbers 62 and 61 Kouros Racing Team entries lining up seventh and eighth, respectively. Alas, Thackwell, Pescarolo and Okada’s race was thwarted by a transmission issue after 16 hours and 123 laps of running. For this car’s final event of 1987, the ADAC Bilstein Super Sprint at the Nürburgring, the Frenchman Jean-Louis Schlesser (nephew of the great Jo Schlesser) was invited to drive. It proved to be a stroke of genius on Sauber’s part. Against the likes of Hans-Joachim Stuck, Bob Wollek and Jochen Mass, Schlesser tore to an exquisite victory, crossing the line over 10 seconds ahead of Stuck’s Works-entered Porsche 962C. The 1988 season As Sauber’s Kouros sponsorship deal concluded at the end of the season and Mercedes’ top brass played a game of musical chairs in Stuttgart, so the team was rebranded Sauber Mercedes. If the Kouros Racing Team was a Works-assisted effort, Sauber Mercedes was an all-out factory assault. Mercedes even drafted in AEG-Olympia, the electronics giant it owned, as the title sponsor. The resulting circuit board-inspired livery for the C9s ranks, in our opinion, as one of the coolest of them all. With a new DTM programme anchored around its 190E 2.3-16 saloon kindled at the same time, Mercedes’ new management in Stuttgart clearly recognised the benefits motorsport could bring, both from a technological perspective and a commercial one. They only had to look at their next-door neighbours over at Porsche, who’d dominated the Group C formula with their 956/962 prototypes, to appreciate that. After his fantastic showing at the Nürburgring at the tail end of 1987, Jean Louis Schlesser was made a permanent fixture behind the wheel of ‘C9.87.01’. This Works C9’s FIA World Sportscar Championship duties were limited to practice sessions at Jerez, Jarama, Monza, Silverstone and Le Mans. For these vital knowledge-building sessions, Schlesser shared the car with Mauro Baldi, the Italian driver who’d famously go on the win the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1990 with Sauber Mercedes. Famously, he’d also win both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Focus for this car was instead given to the 1988 German Supercup championship, which Schlesser would tackle single-handedly. The season comprised five rounds: book-ending events at the Nürburgring and races at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz in between. Schlesser showed exceptional pace throughout the campaign, winning at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz. In finishing fifth in the finale in the Eifel mountains, he clinched outright victory in the championship – an incredible feat given the might of the opposition. With its work complete in Europe, there was one final event for ‘C9.87.01’ to contest: the 360km of Sandown Park in Australia – the curtain closer on the 1988 FIA World Sports-Prototype Championship (the Group C class of the FIA World Sportscar Championship). For the first and only time in its competition career, this C9 wore the race number of its Works sister car, 62. Its two drivers down under were Mauro Baldi and the Swedish Formula 1 legend (and 1997 Le Mans winner) Stefan Johansson. The duo finished second overall, ironically behind the man who’d written ‘C9.87.01’ into the history books: Jean Louis Schlesser. Post competitive life By no means were this car’s factory duties over, however. The year 1989 would see the introduction of the new Mercedes M119 engine, with its four valves per cylinder and aluminium cylinder heads. This chassis was the very first to be fitted with the ultimate-spec engine and was reportedly used for extensive test and development ahead of the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship, most likely in the hands of the great Jochen Mass. Owing to its significance as the very first C9 built, this car was honourably retired at the end of 1989 and retained by Peter Sauber in his personal collection/museum. ‘C9.87.01’ was refinished in the iconic silver livery in which the C9s dominated the 1989 season – an ode to the memory and success of Mercedes’ all-conquering Silver Arrows of the past. Resplendent in its silver gown, this car made one final public appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, as part of an exhibition showcasing the most famous cars to have won at Le Mans. A restoration of epic proportions ‘C9.87.01’ was acquired by its current owner directly from Peter Sauber in 2015. A discerning German collector with a keen sense of duty when it comes to preserving ultra-significant competition cars and sharing them with the world, he took the decision to comprehensively restore this Sauber Mercedes C9 with a view to creating a lightning-fast, bulletproof and incredibly safe Group C prototype with which to win the world’s greatest historic motorsport events around the world. Who better to explain the gravity of this exhaustive project than the founder of the company entrusted with carrying it out, Nigel Medcalf of the renowned UK-based race preparation specialist Moto Historics? “This was an enormous project which took us over two years to complete from start to finish. We worked to the client’s brief from the outset – he wanted a car which was safe, beautifully set up, reliable and accompanied by a comprehensive spares package. “To begin with we carefully and methodically disassembled the car, ordering and labelling every part, including the spares which were already with the car. Every component was then sent for crack testing. Once they were signed off, we realised we had a spare set of corners, so built them up as far as we could to establish if anything was missing. “We discovered there were two right-hand lower wishbones, for example, but no left-hand pieces, so we had a set fabricated. Likewise, we found that the front uprights were cracked, so we sent them away to be digitally scanned so we could refabricate them from aluminium. As with all the parts we fabricated for this Sauber Mercedes, and there were a lot, they were made to look identical to the period parts. Our mission was to build a car that a period Sauber mechanic could look at say was spot on. There were no compromises. “Next we removed the M119 engine which was in the car and gave it to our friends at INIT Racing to be stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Some of the guys at INIT formerly worked with Ilmor Engineering, which was responsible for building Mercedes’ Formula 1 engines during the McLaren-Mercedes era. As such, they had connections with the factory in Stuttgart and we were able to consult directly with Mercedes on a number of the C9’s particulars. “This proved especially useful when we decided to reverse engineer and build a complete replica of the engine based around a M119 block, crank and heads I had acquired. We machined everything to ensure the engine was identical to the original. The amount of work was mind-blowing – it took 18 months alone to complete and we had to go to great lengths to ensure everything was spot on. That meant building the oil pumps by hand, creating tooling to make silicon pipework and commissioning a company in Japan to refabricate the belts, which have a very specific tooth pattern. Likewise, so much went into the cylinder heads and the Nikasil-coated block. “The gearbox was stripped, inspected and rebuilt, including all the spare ratios. Once we got down to the tub, we engaged a company we know which specialises in aircraft crack testing to come and inspect it. Then there was the methodical period of putting everything back together, initially on the original corners with which the car arrived. There were so many headaches to overcome – take the wheel bearings, for example, which we had to refabricate and took eight months alone! “For ease of use with today’s technology, we switched the ECU from a Bosch to a MOTEC system. However, we fitted it inside replica Bosch casing and had wiring looms made identical to the originals. The entire electrical system is indistinguishable from a visual point of view, but incorporates modern – and therefore reliable – technology. Finally, remedial work was made to the bodywork and the fragile floors were replaced. For preservation of the chassis, we also fabricated our own centre floor plank. “We then conducted a number of wet and dry tests at Donington with Sam Hancock at the wheel. Once we were happy with the fundamental set-up of the car, we went to the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, where Sam was really quick. Once we’d signed off on the car in its original configuration, we installed the spare corners we’d built along with the new engine and any other spare parts so we could sign off on those as well. The spares package, including the engine, is conveniently stored and ordered in a number of bespoke flight cases we had made, which streamlines everything at the racetrack and maximises efficiency. In every respect, this Sauber Mercedes is now on the button and ready to go racing. It would be a pleasure to continue running and looking after this special car for the new owner.” Other Cars from Mouse Motors LLC 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-01.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-02.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-15.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-01.webp 1/15 1987 Sauber-Mercedes C9 Mouse Motors LLC United States 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-01.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-02.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-15.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-01.webp 1/15 1991 Jaguar XJR-14 Mouse Motors LLC United States 1989-Mazda-767B-01.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-02.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-10.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-01.webp 1/10 1989 Mazda 767B Mouse Motors LLC United States Last Featured Cars 1973-Alfa-Romeo-Berlina-2000-01.jpg 1973-Alfa-Romeo-Berlina-2000-02.jpg 1973-Alfa-Romeo-Berlina-2000-20.jpg 1973-Alfa-Romeo-Berlina-2000-01.jpg 1/20 1973 Alfa Romeo Berlina 2000 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH Switzerland 1976-Maserati-Khamsin-01.webp 1976-Maserati-Khamsin-02.webp 1976-Maserati-Khamsin-10.webp 1976-Maserati-Khamsin-01.webp 1/10 1976 Maserati Khamsin Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1953-Alfa-Romeo-1900-5-window-01.jpg 1953-Alfa-Romeo-1900-5-window-02.jpg 1953-Alfa-Romeo-1900-5-window-20.jpg 1953-Alfa-Romeo-1900-5-window-01.jpg 1/20 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900 5-window Fantasy Junction California

Highlights of this 330 GTC The Singular Ferrari Maranello Factory Prototipo 275/330 GTC Documented by Marcel Massini, Copies of Factory Build Sheets, Various Articles, and noted in Numerous Ferrari Books History of This Prototipo 275/330 GTC This example is documented and recognized by Ferrari historians and marque experts to be the singular internal development prototype for the 330 GTC. According to copies of the build sheets, this chassis was assembled from December 9, 1964 – July 25, 1965, and shipped to Carrozzeria Pininfarina on July 25, 1965. Once completed at Pininfarina, the car was retained by Ferrari in Maranello, where, according to Ferrari expert historian Marcel Massini, it underwent extensive factory testing, reportedly including evaluation by Enzo Ferrari himself. Distinguished by assembly sequence number (no. 1) and Pininfarina body number (99607), this prototype is referenced in authoritative marque citations, including Angelo Tito Anselmi’s Le Ferrari di Pininfarina, Jess Pourret’s Ferrari 275 GTB – 275 GTS – 275 GTB-4A, and Maurice Khawam’s Ferrari 330 GTC: Elegance and Pedigree. Originally constructed using a 275 chassis, the first Maranello development and engineering tests may have originally been performed with a 275 engine prior to the 330 engine installation which was later installed. The original 330 type 209 engine fitted to the car was a 4-mount block design, consistent with all 275 GTS chassis. The car also originally was outfitted with an open driveshaft, and the corresponding transaxle was mounted at two points in front and hung from one point at the rear. After the Maranello factory testing and engineering development work concluded, this 275/330 prototipo was comprehensively rebuilt by the Ferrari factory to 330 GTC mechanical specifications consistent with production for the 330 GTC series. Upon completion in December 1966, Ferrari issued the official Certificate of Origin for this car, selling it in 1967 to the first private owner, Carlo Bombieri of Milan. When delivered, 6431 was finished in Rosso Cina (China Red) trimmed with black leather upholstery, equipped with Borletti air-conditioning, Campagnolo cast alloy wheels, and metric instrumentation. Surprisingly, even after Ferrari concluded their testing, the car retained numerous unique factory prototype features as it began its 60 year history of enthusiast ownership. Registered in January 1967 as “MI D28441,” chassis 6431 was maintained by Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department in Modena through May 1971, having accumulated approximately 32,000 km. Sig. Bombieri retained ownership until June 1982, until the car was sold to Francesco Santovetti of Rome, subsequently remaining in Italy until 1993, until it was exported to Italian Motors Ltd. of Hong Kong. After a brief period with Kowloon-based collector Danny Chow, 6431 joined a private collection of one-off, custom-bodied, and special-series 1950s and 60s era Ferraris where it remained for nearly three decade. Under current stewardship, 6431 was serviced by Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis who installed a set of spark plugs, rebuilt the Koni front shock absorbers with new spring struts (dyno tested), installed four new Koni shock silent bloc bushings, serviced front ball joints, and corrected both the front and rear spring height for proper stance. Rarely released from internal factory engineering, a Ferrari prototype of any distinction is a remarkable find. And, in the case of 6431, it retains numerous wholly unique development and engineering features that distinguish it from a standard production 330 GTC. Remarkably, as most factory development prototypes are retained for further examination and testing for future updates to the model line, 6431 today retains these desirable factory traits as developed in 1964 and tested at Maranello through 1966, now beautifully preserved and maintained for the next fortunate owner. Unique 275/330 Prototipo Exterior and Interior Differences The hood has a raised center line rib similar to the 275 GTS. The front valance is sculpted with a lower profile surrounding the radiator and lacks the chin spoiler on later the 330 GTC. The chrome front bumpers are joined by a tubular section along the upper part of the grill creating a unique design. Thinner metal construction is noted for the bumpers. There is no prancing horse mounted to the grille center. The trunk opens with a push-button located below the back edge of the trunk lid similar to the 275 GTS. The hood safety catch is similar to the 275 type. The dashboard lacks a glovebox. There are no wood treatments on the dashboard. A Pininfarina emblem is mounted on the passenger side of the dashboard. The gauge layout is similar to the 275 GTS - Oil Temperature & Oil Pressure are center mounted between the tachometer and speedometer, while the Water Temperature, Amp, Fuel, and Clock are centered to the right of the driver. An oil pressure light is mounted in the center of the primary instrument cluster directly in front of the driver. Vent levers are in different locations than the production 330 GTC. Only five toggle switches are mounted on the center console. Dual rally-style watches are located in place of the 330 GTC radio location. The center console shift gate design is longer with a larger surface area around the power window switches. The power window switches are mounted on a flat raised panel in the center console between the seats, surrounded by a chrome plate with a pull out cigarette lighter. A floor mounted 275 emergency brake lever is mounted on the floor and pulls back towards the driver. A pleated rear seat is in place where the production 330 GTC is fitted with a luggage shelf. Unique 275/330 Prototipo Engine Compartment Distinctions The air cleaner housing displays engineering construction variations to find optimal shape and size. Early production cars had a similar air cleaner, but were adjusted so the unit was lower, wider, and more forward fit while removing the indentation evident on the right rear portion. Copper lines are used for the hydraulic systems to facilitate easy mounting and adjustment when locating the lines. The lower cross member behind the clutch bell housing was relocated to accommodate a longer 330 engine in the chassis with a new block and transaxle mounting system. This important development reduced cabin noise and vibration inside the car. The ignition cables are externally mounted and placed along the cam cover. These cables were eventually concealed in a tube along the bottom of the cam cover. Different type brake booster design with the vacuum line exiting the master cylinder rather than the booster itself. Different sized hydraulic reservoir. General History of the Ferrari 330 GTC Unveiled in 1966 at the Geneva Auto Show, the Ferrari 330 GTC was a fresh departure from earlier Ferrari designs. Motoring press immediately celebrated these cars as among the most refined road machines Ferrari had ever produced, offering driving characteristics substantially ahead of contemporary sports cars. The V12 engine was part of the ongoing development of the impressive Colombo derived series, with wider bore spacing, displacing 4.0 liters, and generating 300hp. A torque tube connected the engine to the rear-mounted transaxle, optimizing weight distribution and improving handling. Girling ventilated disc brakes at all four corners, independent front and rear suspension, and a 5-speed rear mounted transaxle, resulted in exceptionally fine road holding, fantastic acceleration, and reliable road use, even in daily traffic. Although these were quite popular when released, just 598 330 GTCs were produced between 1966 and 1968. Condition and Presentation Today this exceptional Ferrari 275/330 GTC Prototipo offers excellent finishes throughout. The vivid red finish is smooth, glossy, and highlights the features of this singular example including the unique center ridge line on the hood, distinct grille design, unique front valance, and prototypical bumper treatment. The body lines are in excellent condition, as are the panel gaps, while the doors, hood, and trunk all open and close properly. The chrome is in excellent condition, and the beautifully finished aluminum grille, chrome grille surround, and hand formed bumpers are further examples of both the original prototypical handcrafted components and restoration artistry. Glass and lighting are all in excellent condition throughout. A set of correct Campagnolo cast alloy wheels are beautifully finished and accented by chrome-plated triple ear knock offs. All four wheels are outfitted with period-correct Michelin 205 VR14 XWX tires. The delicately sculpted trunk line and chrome rear bumpers are matched with a pair of properly extended quad-tip ANSA exhaust finishing the distinctively tailored rear profile of this beautiful GTC. The interior offers a rare combination of elegance and sporting presence enhanced by correct leather finishes and distinct Ferrari features capturing numerous prototype details found only on this singular example. The black leather seats are correctly trimmed with straight piping and correct pleat lines including the rear seating area unique to this GTC. The inner door panels, center console, and headliner are not only correctly featured but also highlight the prototype instrumentation, rally clock, and distinct gauge orientation as part of the factory design and engineering development for the 330 GTC. The iconic wood rim steering wheel fronts high contrasting instruments offering excellent color and luster. The trunk compartment is trimmed with low pile black carpet with matching black side panels and a removable floor panel concealing a full sized spare tire nestled in the original spare tire tub. Under the hood, the theme of excellence and expert detailing continues with the engine and engine compartment displaying correctly finished components and hardware accompanied by unique prototype features. The multiple Weber carbureted engine is topped with a prototype air cleaner, correctly contoured hoses, proper fasteners, and correctly applied hardware per original Ferrari specifications, with the noted exceptions as part of the development nature of this prototype GTC. The underside of the car is clean and properly maintained though not restored for show. Engine and transaxle casings are in very good condition, factory style dual exhaust and mufflers are correct, though aged, and proper factory suspension, ventilated disc brakes, and other details are representative of Ferrari factory specifications that would culminate in 330 GTC production. The car starts and runs, although the carburates exhibit rough transition from the primaries to secondaries, with better results on full throttle when warm. The engine appears fundamentally healthy but will benefit from additional adjustments should the next owner wish to engage in more regular driving. The fuel gauge is not currently functional, but the other features operate as expected. Best of all, as a singular prototype, one is immediately enchanted by the aura of “il Commendatore” having spent considerable hours piloting this car, evaluating the driving traits, deriving the refinements for production, and recording his delight in having achieved yet another pinnacle of motoring excellence. Please note that while this car was built in 1964, it was retained at the Ferrari, Maranello factory for testing and development through 1966. It was not officially sold to the public until 1967 and therefore is titled under that year. The Ferrari 330 GTC rightfully occupies an important place in the growth of excellence Ferrari established in their road cars. Rarely seen let alone available in private hands, this 275/330 GTC Prototipo offers a unique view on the design and development of one of the most exciting sports cars of the Enzo era with the added distinctions of documented ownership, preservation, restoration, and undeniable provenance. 1964 Ferrari 275/330 GTC Prototipo Fantasy Junction 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 Highlights of this 330 GTC The Singular Ferrari Maranello Factory Prototipo 275/330 GTC Documented by Marcel Massini, Copies of Factory Build Sheets, Various Articles, and noted in Numerous Ferrari Books History of This Prototipo 275/330 GTC This example is documented and recognized by Ferrari historians and marque experts to be the singular internal development prototype for the 330 GTC. According to copies of the build sheets, this chassis was assembled from December 9, 1964 – July 25, 1965, and shipped to Carrozzeria Pininfarina on July 25, 1965. Once completed at Pininfarina, the car was retained by Ferrari in Maranello, where, according to Ferrari expert historian Marcel Massini, it underwent extensive factory testing, reportedly including evaluation by Enzo Ferrari himself. Distinguished by assembly sequence number (no. 1) and Pininfarina body number (99607), this prototype is referenced in authoritative marque citations, including Angelo Tito Anselmi’s Le Ferrari di Pininfarina, Jess Pourret’s Ferrari 275 GTB – 275 GTS – 275 GTB-4A, and Maurice Khawam’s Ferrari 330 GTC: Elegance and Pedigree. Originally constructed using a 275 chassis, the first Maranello development and engineering tests may have originally been performed with a 275 engine prior to the 330 engine installation which was later installed. The original 330 type 209 engine fitted to the car was a 4-mount block design, consistent with all 275 GTS chassis. The car also originally was outfitted with an open driveshaft, and the corresponding transaxle was mounted at two points in front and hung from one point at the rear. After the Maranello factory testing and engineering development work concluded, this 275/330 prototipo was comprehensively rebuilt by the Ferrari factory to 330 GTC mechanical specifications consistent with production for the 330 GTC series. Upon completion in December 1966, Ferrari issued the official Certificate of Origin for this car, selling it in 1967 to the first private owner, Carlo Bombieri of Milan. When delivered, 6431 was finished in Rosso Cina (China Red) trimmed with black leather upholstery, equipped with Borletti air-conditioning, Campagnolo cast alloy wheels, and metric instrumentation. Surprisingly, even after Ferrari concluded their testing, the car retained numerous unique factory prototype features as it began its 60 year history of enthusiast ownership. Registered in January 1967 as “MI D28441,” chassis 6431 was maintained by Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department in Modena through May 1971, having accumulated approximately 32,000 km. Sig. Bombieri retained ownership until June 1982, until the car was sold to Francesco Santovetti of Rome, subsequently remaining in Italy until 1993, until it was exported to Italian Motors Ltd. of Hong Kong. After a brief period with Kowloon-based collector Danny Chow, 6431 joined a private collection of one-off, custom-bodied, and special-series 1950s and 60s era Ferraris where it remained for nearly three decade. Under current stewardship, 6431 was serviced by Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis who installed a set of spark plugs, rebuilt the Koni front shock absorbers with new spring struts (dyno tested), installed four new Koni shock silent bloc bushings, serviced front ball joints, and corrected both the front and rear spring height for proper stance. Rarely released from internal factory engineering, a Ferrari prototype of any distinction is a remarkable find. And, in the case of 6431, it retains numerous wholly unique development and engineering features that distinguish it from a standard production 330 GTC. Remarkably, as most factory development prototypes are retained for further examination and testing for future updates to the model line, 6431 today retains these desirable factory traits as developed in 1964 and tested at Maranello through 1966, now beautifully preserved and maintained for the next fortunate owner.

Unveiled in Turin in 1966, the Maserati Ghibli quickly established itself as a serious rival to the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ and the Lamborghini Miura. The SS version increased output to around 335 hp from 4.9 litres of displacement, making the Ghibli, with a top speed of 280 km/h, the fastest road-going Maserati of its time. The body, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Ghia with its long bonnet and elongated silhouette, is still regarded today as an icon of Italian sports car design. Only around 425 examples of the Ghibli SS coupé were built worldwide. The car offered here, with matching chassis and engine numbers, was completed in April 1971 according to the certificate on file and delivered to the USA, sold to Germany in 2013 and entered a top-tier Maserati collection, where it remains to this day. According to invoice documentation on file, it has since been continuously maintained and perfected by Maserati specialists. This Ghibli SS presents itself in an elegant colour combination of blue metallic with black leather upholstery and is in outstanding condition. 1971 Maserati Ghibli 4.9 SS Coupé by Ghia Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The SS version increased output to around 335 hp from 4.9 litres of displacement, making the Ghibli, with a top speed of 280 km/h, the fastest road-going Maserati of its time. The body, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Ghia with its long bonnet and elongated silhouette, is still regarded today as an icon of Italian sports car design. Only around 425 examples of the Ghibli SS coupé were built worldwide. The car offered here, with matching chassis and engine numbers, was completed in April 1971 according to the certificate on file and delivered to the USA, sold to Germany in 2013 and entered a top-tier Maserati collection, where it remains to this day. According to invoice documentation on file, it has since been continuously maintained and perfected by Maserati specialists. This Ghibli SS presents itself in an elegant colour combination of blue metallic with black leather upholstery and is in outstanding condition.

The Maserati Mistral was introduced in 1963 as the successor to the 3500 GT and was the marque’s last series-production model to feature the legendary straight-six engine designed by Giulio Alfieri. The open Spyder version ranks among the most exclusive Maserati classics of all. In total, only 124 examples were built, making this model one of the rarest open grand tourers of its era. The car offered here was delivered on 14 July 1965 via the Maserati dealer Thepenier, Saint-Cloud (Paris). A few years ago, renowned specialist workshops carried out a comprehensive full restoration. In the course of this, the engine, gearbox and all mechanical components were professionally overhauled. The restoration was completed in 2016. Since then, the car has been part of a high-quality Maserati collection. According to the Maserati certificate, the car retains its original engine (matching numbers). An extraordinary Italian classic with history and a very high-quality restoration – ideal for discerning collectors and enthusiasts. 1965 Maserati Mistral 3700 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
