The first Maserati Ghibli was unveiled in autumn 1966. It was a two-seater coupé with a fastback body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Carrozzeria Ghia. At the end of 1968, the coupé was joined by a two-seater Spyder, and Pavesi also equipped a Ghibli coupé with a removable Targa-style roof. The body shells were mainly produced by Vignale. The car was powered by an eight-cylinder engine, the basic design of which was based on an engine that had made its racing debut in 1956 in the Tipo 450S and had been used in the Quattroporte I since 1964. The displacement was either 4.7 or 4.9 liters and the engine output ranged between 310 and 335 hp. The Tipo AM115 was produced until the end of 1973. Ghibli drivers included Jean-Paul Belmondo, Sammy Davis Junior, Henry Ford II and Peter Sellers, among others. Looking back, Giugiaro himself considers the Ghibli GT to be his best creation. This Maserati Ghibli with a 4.7-litre V8 was first registered in Italy in July 1969. The coupé was probably imported to the canton of Ticino in the 1980s, where it was owned by a garage owner for around 30 years before being taken over by the consignor in 2016. Shortly afterwards, the consignor had the interior and bodywork restored and repainted in ‘Rosso Fuoco’ from bare metal. In 2021/22, the matching-numbers engine, brakes and chassis were overhauled. Since then, the Maserati has only been driven around 4’500 km. The beautiful Ghibli is currently in very good condition and is only being sold due to lack of time. The last veteran MOT took place in July 2021. 1969 Maserati Ghibli 4700 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato is a rare and very special classic car that combines sportiness with an elegant, slightly futuristic body design. The model offered here was completed in March 1970 in Giallo oro (yellow gold) with a Skai nero interior and then delivered to Modena, Italy. In April 2018, the car was purchased by a Swiss collector in Italy and imported to Switzerland. Over CHF 84,000 was invested in the technology, including a complete overhaul of the engine and transmission, the brakes, alternator, and heater box, new bearings for the entire chassis, and much more. This beautiful Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato, with FIVA / ASI Certificato Di Identità and Alfa Romeo Classiche certification, is in top maintained and very original collector’s condition. The on-board folder with the original user manual, Italian papers and many other documents and invoices are available. The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato is a rare and elegant sports car developed by Alfa Romeo in collaboration with the famous Italian coachbuilder Zagato. Manufactured as a lightweight, sporty coupé, it made its debut at the Turin Motor Show in 1969. Its design was groundbreaking: the pointed fastback look and clean lines later influenced many sports cars of the 1970s. 1970 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina Creating a worthy successor for the eye-wateringly pretty GTS/4 ‘Daytona’ Spider was no mean feat for Ferrari, which probably explains why it took the company 31 years to finally do it. Suffice to say, the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was worth the wait. It was also a fitting way of commemorating the 70th birthday of Pininfarina, the illustrious engineer of elegance from Turin previously responsible for the design of such fabled Ferraris as the 250 GT ‘Lusso’ and, of course, the ‘Daytona’. Introduced at the Paris salon in 2000, the Ferrari 550 Barchetta was drop-dead gorgeous, differing from its closed-roof counterpart in a number of intricate ways. The windscreen, for example, was shorter and more aggressively raked, resulting in a more sleek overall profile. The boot was restyled and, bizarrely for a convertible, more specious as a result. And the fuel filler cap was hewn from aluminium. The Barchetta also received as standard several features that were optional (and, being a Ferrari, alarmingly expensive) on the coupe – big racing bucket seats, for example, a smattering of carbon-fibre trim and 19-inch two-piece alloy wheels. The front-engined V12 was a Barchetta in the truest sense of the word. Ferrari half-heartedly provided a soft-top, although it was only deemed ‘safe’ below 70mph. Who wants to drive their drop-top V12 in the rain, anyway? Ferrari intended to build 444 examples of the 550 Barchetta, but four is an unlucky number in Japan, which worried the bigwigs in Maranello sufficiently enough for them to add four more. Each of the 448 cars (which immediately sold out) boasts an individually numbered plaque on the dash bearing the signature of Sergio Pininfarina. We, for one, are sure he was proud of this rare and incredibly elegant V12 Gran Turismo. Barchetta no. 138 The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina presented here, chassis number 4116, is number 138 of the 448 examples built. It was delivered new to Hong Kong via the Official Ferrari Dealer Italian Motors Ltd. in July of 2001. Ferrari carried out two recall campaigns on the car in June and October of 2003. It emerged again in Malaysia in July of 2012, when it was serviced by the Official Ferrari Dealer Naza Italia. The mileage was noted as just 54 kilometres. Later that year, this 550 Barchetta was submitted for Ferrari Classiche certification. The red certification binder that accompanies the car today confirms chassis number 4116 to be a fully matching-numbers car. The car remained in Malaysia for 10 years, during which time it was serviced on four occasions and covered a mere 545 kilometres. We first encountered this Barchetta in the autumn of 2022, when it arrived with us here at Belchers Farm to be sold. After sending the car to the Official Ferrari Dealer H.R. Owen for a major service (the total cost of which was over £8,000), we sold it to a client based in the United States of America. He opted to store the car with us, meaning that chassis number 4116 has remained in our care ever since. The current mileage reads 568 kilometres. As a result of its remarkably sheltered life, the condition of this Ferrari is very clean and very original. After a thorough inspection, which included full paint-depth reading, we can confirm that it retains its original Rosso Corsa paintwork. The wheels are still shod with their original Pirelli P Zero tyres. As the inspection photos below illustrate, the wheelarches and engine bay are extremely clean, commensurate with the mileage and the climate of the region in which the car spent most of its life. Satisfyingly, chassis number 4116 retains its factory documents pouch complete with Certificate of Origin, Warranty and Service Book, Alarm System booklet, Owners’ Manual, Sales and Service booklet and Hi-Fi System Warranty Card. In the boot you’ll find the fitted leather bag containing the canvas roof arrangement and the red Ferrari car cover. Beneath the boot floor are the leather tool kit and the bagged tyre compressor kit. The proverbial cherries on the cake are the two red special-edition Ferrari 550 Barchetta crash helmets, complete with their yellow cloth bags and brown leather visors. This virginal Ferrari is now seeking a new home. A limited-edition drop-top Ferrari V12 with enough special features to distinguish it from its closed-roof counterpart, the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina is a veritable modern classic. Number 138 presents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an ultra-low-mileage and highly original example – attributes on which today’s discerning collectors place enormous importance. 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina Girardo & Co.

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show just two years after the 330 GT 2+2, the Ferrari 330 GTC struck a perfect balance between the comfort of the 2+2 and the performance of the 275 GTB. It shared the 275 GTB’s steering, suspension, and transmission, and with a wheelbase 10 inches shorter than the 2+2, the GTC delivered a far more dynamic driving experience. Its most thrilling feature was the Colombo V-12 engine, producing 300 horsepower, a 0–60 mph time under seven seconds, and a top speed of 150 mph—making Ferrari’s new touring model anything but tame. Design cues from earlier Ferraris are clear: The rear borrowed from the 275 GTS, while the front echoed the rare 500 Superfast. With the shorter wheelbase, rear seats were replaced by a luggage shelf. Like the elegant 250 GT Lusso, the 330 GTC featured slim A- and B-pillars, lending the cabin an airy feel and exceptional visibility. One of only 579 left-hand-drive examples of this highly refined model produced between 1966 and 1968, chassis 9487 was completed at Maranello in late December 1966 and earmarked for distribution to the Milanese dealer Gastone Crepaldi. Marque historian Marcel Massini notes that this car’s original factory specifications included metric instrumentation and a Metallic Silver exterior over Nero Franzi leather. After more than three years with its original owner in Milan, the Ferrari 330 GTC was exported to the United States. By October 1973, it appeared for sale in the FCA Newsletter from Jerry Ash of Denver, Colorado. Ash likely sold it to a California enthusiast, as it later surfaced at Ferrari of Los Gatos in December 1978. A San Francisco Examiner listing confirmed it retained its original colors and wore Borrani wire wheels. In July 1983, Alan Abreu of Danville, California, purchased the car and kept it for the next 30 years. He drove it regularly and maintained it diligently, as service records show. By early 1985, he had added nearly 17,000 kilometers (~10,563 miles) and returned it to Ferrari of Los Gatos for further servicing. By 2000, after another 12,000 kilometers (~7,456 miles), he enlisted Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis of Berkeley to overhaul the electrical system, transaxle, driveshaft, and clutch. In 2007, Abreu commissioned Perfect Reflections of Hayward to complete a bare-metal repaint in Rosso Rubino, a period-correct color. At the same time, Autos International of Escondido retrimmed the interior in beige leather. This cosmetic restoration was bookended by additional mechanical work from Ottis. After three decades of attentive ownership, Abreu sold this GTC to a noted Ferrari collector in Utah. The new owner continued the tradition of meticulous care, spending over $6,000 on cosmetic detailing and $15,000 to source and install a correct-type Ferrari air-conditioning system. Combined with power windows, beige leather, a Talbot mirror, and a Becker Europa radio, the upgrades made this GTC a refined and capable grand tourer. In late 2018, 9487 was purchased by the noted Texas-based collector, Gene Ponder. Remaining with Ponder until the consignor’s purchase in 2022, this GTC was much admired but sparingly used while within his vast collection of fine European automobiles. Upon acquiring this GTC, the consignor immediately submitted it to Ferrari Classiche’s certification program, the results of which easily confirmed that 9487 still retains its original Pininfarina coachwork, chassis, V-12 engine, and five-speed gearbox. Additionally, the consignor had Ferrari of Central New Jersey execute more than $33,500 in mechanical servicing upon the drivetrain (brakes, clutch, ignition, and fuel)—in short, the sorting of components and systems that needed attention after the limited use seen during prior ownership. Now accompanied by a rich and highly detailed history file, alongside 2023 Ferrari Classiche certification documentation and service invoices, this supremely glamorous 330 GTC makes for—as its name suggests—a consummate grand touring coupe. Among the best driver’s cars produced by Maranello in the 1960s, it is sure to thrill its next caretaker for years to come. 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

It is 1986, and American diplomat John Dixon has weighed his options, made his decisions, and no longer harbors any doubts. The brochure for the Mercedes-Benz SL R107 lies before him, and with anticipation he reaches for the telephone. The R107 had already proven itself over the years and had secured a strong reputation among European sports cars. Dixon chose the elegant—and notably rare—specification: a 3.0-litre inline-six with a 4-speed manual gearbox, finished in Champagne Metallic with leather interior, rear seats, and—most importantly—still completely original with a genuine odometer reading. In 1988, as his posting in the EU ends, he takes the car back to the United States, where he keeps it until 1992, when it is sold to a Mercedes-Benz classic specialist. The car then remains within the same family in Maryland until 2019, when a Dutch buyer acquires it and brings it back to its country of origin to continue its story. Upon arrival, the car received meticulous servicing at Mercedes-Benz Dealer Gomes, getting everything its heart could desire. Now it stands ready to pass to its fourth owner. Its full history is documented, the service booklets are stamped, and the genuine mileage of 91,000 km is fully confirmed. The car is primed and ready to roam. This is a car that whispers sophistication in one breath and shouts joy in the next. In short: it’s a Mercedes SL R107. It doesn’t simply drive—it conquers. 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL R107 Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

At the heart of this success stood the Lancia Delta, one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Between 1987 and 1992, the Delta won the World Rally Championship for manufacturers six consecutive times — a record that still stands. In 1991, Lancia introduced the Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I, a street-legal version of the rally car, developed for homologation purposes and engineered with competition in mind. The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I was developed to meet Group A homologation standards and marked the peak of Lancia’s WRC dominance. This model featured a turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve engine producing approx. 210 hp, permanent four-wheel drive, and advanced suspension geometry for razor-sharp handling. Known as the “Evo I” this version featured significant upgrades over its predecessors. It retained the 2.0-litre 16-valve turbocharged engine, producing around 210 horsepower and 298 Nm of torque. Power was sent to all four wheels via a sophisticated permanent four-wheel-drive system with a central viscous coupling and a Torsen rear differential — providing excellent traction on any surface. The Evo I could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just under six seconds, making it one of the fastest hot hatches of its time. The chassis and bodywork were also extensively revised. The track was widened front and rear, the suspension geometry was improved, and the body featured flared wheel arches to accommodate wider tires. The result was not just better handling, but also a more aggressive, purposeful look. A large roof spoiler and functional air intakes emphasized the car’s motorsport pedigree. Today, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I is a sought-after collector’s car. Its combination of motorsport heritage, raw performance, and distinctive styling makes it a true icon. 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO I Very Superior Old Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

At the heart of this success stood the Lancia Delta, one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Between 1987 and 1992, the Delta won the World Rally Championship for manufacturers six consecutive times — a record that still stands. In 1991, Lancia introduced the Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I, a street-legal version of the rally car, developed for homologation purposes and engineered with competition in mind. The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I was developed to meet Group A homologation standards and marked the peak of Lancia’s WRC dominance. This model featured a turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve engine producing approx. 210 hp, permanent four-wheel drive, and advanced suspension geometry for razor-sharp handling. Known as the “Evo I” this version featured significant upgrades over its predecessors. It retained the 2.0-litre 16-valve turbocharged engine, producing around 210 horsepower and 298 Nm of torque. Power was sent to all four wheels via a sophisticated permanent four-wheel-drive system with a central viscous coupling and a Torsen rear differential — providing excellent traction on any surface. The Evo I could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just under six seconds, making it one of the fastest hot hatches of its time. The chassis and bodywork were also extensively revised. The track was widened front and rear, the suspension geometry was improved, and the body featured flared wheel arches to accommodate wider tires. The result was not just better handling, but also a more aggressive, purposeful look. A large roof spoiler and functional air intakes emphasized the car’s motorsport pedigree. Today, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione I is a sought-after collector’s car. Its combination of motorsport heritage, raw performance, and distinctive styling makes it a true icon.

The famous BMW roundel has led the field in many disciplines of motorsport, and the Munich marque’s motivation to build the M1 was born out of its competitive endeavours. By the end of the 1970s, its CSL cars were losing an edge against Porsche’s new 935, and BMW needed a mid-engined chassis to fit its twin-cam 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine. BMW’s Motorsport division first contacted Lamborghini for help needed but by April 1978 the project had been taken in house. The wedge design was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built in Italy along with the chassis, prior to final assembly taking place at Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart. The resulting product—badged as the BMW M1 and sold from 1978 to 1981—is widely coveted to this day as a rare piece of BMW history. The example offered here is recorded to have been finished by Trattamento Italiano Resina (TIR) on 7 December 1979 and later completed by Baur on 7 March 1980, documented as the 116th M1 built. The BMW was finished in Rot over a Schwarz interior and was distributed via BMW Italia SpA. It is understood that early in its life, the car was taken to the United States, where it would be kept in a collection based in New York. The M1 later returned to Europe via its native Germany, and after being acquired by its consigning owner in December 2018 was registered in France in 2019. In the care of the vendor, in June 2019, the BMW was subject to €14,811-worth of mechanical maintenance by Dynamism Automobiles SAS, a BMW service centre based near Angers, France. In April 2022, the M1 was given €10,562-worth of further maintenance work by BMW Bayonne (invoices available to view on file). The odometer shows just 24,232 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Now offered in its factory-correct colour combination and with its matching-numbers engine, this attractive M1 is sure to be coveted by BMW enthusiasts. 1980 BMW M1 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Extremely original 300SL example, fully restored Numbers matching body, engine, and transmission Original factory Mercedes-Benz hardtop Beautiful combination of Mercedes-Benz Anthracite Grey Metallic (Anthrazit Grau DB172), over Light Grey leather interior Very rare European-spec headlights One of 1,858 examples ever built worldwide Complete engine rebuild and tuning by former Hjeltness Restoration engine builder Recent major mechanical restoration performed by 300SL experts Hjeltness Restoration, including transmission rebuild, brake system rebuild, valve and timing chain adjustment 3.0L inline 6 Bosch fuel-injected engine, 240HP, 217lb-ft of torque, 4-speed manual transmission Includes fitted luggage, books, tool kit, jack, spare wheel/tire How does a successful automotive company like Mercedes-Benz innovate the critically-acclaimed 300SL Gullwing? By removing the roof, of course. After 3 years of production of the 300 SLR-inspired road car, Mercedes-Benz began the second stage of the 300SL, releasing the Roadster to the world. Keeping the dramatic long hood at the front but massaging the rear to incorporate a newly-developed soft top and hardtop, the 300SL Roadster now had unlimited headroom for taller occupants. Sold from 1957 until 1963, it was considered a monumental success for Mercedes-Benz not only in terms of sales, but establishing the brand as a premiere luxury sports car builder. With only 1,858 examples ever built, the 300SL Roadster is a very rare automobile and one of the most beautiful designs crafted out of Sindelfingen, Germany. The Roadster acquired several updates in comparison to the Gullwing which all led to a more enjoyable driving experience. The drivetrain received notable upgrades in quality and performance, such as the 300SL Roadster 3.0L engine being upgraded to 240 horsepower from the Gullwing’s 212 horsepower due to the innovative Bosch fuel injection system vs. carburetors. The transmission of the Gullwing had semi straight-cut gears in its 4-speed transmission, more like a race car but had a distinctive whine while driving. The Roadster on the other hand gained a fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission which was much quieter and smoother. Other improvements included a lowered rear axle for better handling, a lower sill in the interior for easier ingress and egress, and in general practicality improvements. This 1957 300SL Roadster has a unique story, remaining in the same family for over 50 years and then recently having a stunning restoration performed on it from a detail-oriented caretaker and critically-acclaimed architect, Jonathan Segal. The 300SL was first registered in March of 1958 to John D. Ryan of Ramsey, Montana and subsequently to Dr. John Gans of Morenci, Arizona before making its way to its 50+ year longtime caretaker, Merlin D. Peay, D.D.S. Merlin Deeon Peay graduated from Clifton High School at 17 years old and went immediately into the U.S. Navy during WWII. After completing his service, he attended and graduated from the University of Arizona in Pharmacy, eventually graduating from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry at the top of his class. As part of maybe a graduate gift to himself, this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL made its way to him in the early 1960s, with his first service record showing the summer of 1963, indicating 32,153 miles on the odometer. Peay attended and graduated from the Baylor College of Orthodontics in Dallas, Texas in 1966, where he likely used the 300SL as his primary vehicle in commuting. He was not worried about using the 300SL as intended, indicated by the April 11th, 1966 service receipt with an odometer indicating 57,680 miles! By September of 1970, records indicate Peay had accumulated over 88,000 miles on the odometer. Merlin had a penchant for things fast, which could be assumed by the next logical step after one of the world’s greatest sports cars: a pilot’s license. Famously known within his community as “The Flying Orthodontist”, he regularly commuted in his personal plane back and forth from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Gallup, New Mexico for 26 years, a 4 hour and 260-mile round trip by car, and retired from Orthodontics in 1998. When renewing his Gullwing Group membership, his application indicated that in 1998 the 300SL roadster had 105,000 miles on the odometer. In December of 2013 Merlin passed away at the age of 87, leaving his beloved 300SL roadster to his wife, Darla. After a few months she decided it was time for the 300SL to find another caretaker who would enjoy the car as much as her late husband, and in early 2014 it was on its way to San Diego, California to critically-acclaimed architect and car restorer, Jonathan Segal FAIA. A caretaker of fine automobiles with an incredible sense of design through his work as an acclaimed architect, Jonathan Segal knew the 300SL Roadster had found the right home as a part of his collection. Meticulous, detail-oriented, and passionate with all of his vehicles, he enjoyed having them at their peak performance and in excellent condition, maintained by his personal in-house mechanic. Segal, known for his penchant of historic Masteratis, is not what you call an average collector. In the last 5 years alone, he took home a mind-boggling 9 awards from concourse shows, many with different cars and all restored under his supervision. These awards include Best of Show at the 2024 Concours of Elegance in Hampton Court Palace of the U.K. with his restored Maserati A6GCS Frua Spider, Best in Class at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Postwar Touring with his 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Ghia Supergioiello Coupe, and 4 design awards at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance over multiple years. In an interview with Residential Design, Segal describes how he enjoys the one-off nature of many of his cars, disassembling cars apart alongside his son and learning how the cars were built, appreciating the craftsmanship as they restore cars together. Driving the 300SL around San Diego, Segal had a number of service items performed over the years by a variety of mechanical artisans. Hjeltness Restoration, famously known for their 300SL restorations, did a significant amount of work to restore the performance of the Roadster. This work at Hjeltness included completely rebuilding the 4-speed manual transmission, removing the existing fuel tank internal surface and recoating it, relining and arcing the brake shoes, installing new rear axle boots and four shocks, rebuilding the power brake diaphragm, installing new sway bar rubbers, adding a new clutch, disc and throw out bearing, resurfacing the flywheel, replacing muffler hangers, installing a new V-belt rear transmission mount, replacing shifter bushings, rebuilding the mechanical fuel delivery pump for the injection unit, updating and rebuilding the cross shaft linkage assembly, replacing the fuel injection pump vacuum diaphragm and adjusting the mixture on pump and throttle body. This mechanical work was done in preparation for the Colorado Grand, ensuring that the 300SL was ready for the long drive ahead to be enjoyed. Towards the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, Segal had started thinking of the idea of cosmetically restoring the 300SL to a new period-correct color specification, Anthracite Grey Metallic with a Light Grey leather interior. Then, in early 2020, the Covid epidemic hit. He took this as the perfect time to restore the car while shops needed work to stay open and began the year-long process of restoring the 300SL Roadster. Ever meticulous with the Mercedes-Benz, Segal had the car disassembled at his facility before going to a reputable and noted paint facility in Southern California where the 300SL received a full bare-metal repaint. Anthracite Grey Metallic, DB172, was a period-correct Mercedes-Benz color that was used on 300SLs when they were originally for sale in the late 50s and early 60s. All of the brightwork and chrome was removed and sent out to be replated, NOS european-spec headlights were brought over personally by Segal from Europe at the tune of $30,000. Seals, gaskets, and any components that needed to be replaced were purchased with OEM parts from Mercedes-Benz Classic, ensuring their fitment and authenticity. The original interior was reupholstered in a light gray leather by two former Hjeltness employees who primarily did interior work for Hjeltness Restoration. Attention to detail was given to each and every stitch, so when said and done the interior was nothing short of fantastic. Paired with the Anthracite Grey Metallic paint, the color combination is a stunning example of a restoration done right. The engine, the 3.0L inline-6 engine, now with over 105,000 miles since it was originally new in 1958, was treated to a full engine rebuild by Mark Ballerini. Known for his engine building skills while at Hjeltness Restoration for his tenure of 10+ years, he was chosen to be the person to rebuild the 300SL’s engine. Once completed, Segal took the car on the California Mille, and Mark used this time to tune the engine to perfection. After the Roadster was restored and driven in the California Mille, Segal kept the car in his collection for a few more years, enjoying it thoroughly. After bringing it to its current state, and having it with him for more than 10 years, he decided that it was time for the car to find a new caretaker. The 300SL Roadster arrived at Canepa and was immediately entered into the “Canepa Difference” process, ensuring that cosmetically and mechanically it was perfect through inspection, and addressing anything that required attention. The car was put into Canepa’s detailing department where it was given a concours-level detailing of the underside, ensuring no dirt or oil was left. It next went through a multi-stage paint-polishing process to enhance the luster of the Anthracite Grey Metallic paint finish. Mechanically it was thoroughly inspected and found to be in excellent condition, driving well and starting without hesitation, and overall being ready to drive out into another car tour. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is a magical car that attracts attention anywhere it goes. With a design that was well ahead of its time, there is no doubt that the 300SL is one of the most iconic vehicles in the world, bar none. Restored and sorted, this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is ready for another 50 years on the road and any concours lawn. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

By removing the roof, of course. After 3 years of production of the 300 SLR-inspired road car, Mercedes-Benz began the second stage of the 300SL, releasing the Roadster to the world. Keeping the dramatic long hood at the front but massaging the rear to incorporate a newly-developed soft top and hardtop, the 300SL Roadster now had unlimited headroom for taller occupants. Sold from 1957 until 1963, it was considered a monumental success for Mercedes-Benz not only in terms of sales, but establishing the brand as a premiere luxury sports car builder. With only 1,858 examples ever built, the 300SL Roadster is a very rare automobile and one of the most beautiful designs crafted out of Sindelfingen, Germany. The Roadster acquired several updates in comparison to the Gullwing which all led to a more enjoyable driving experience. The drivetrain received notable upgrades in quality and performance, such as the 300SL Roadster 3.0L engine being upgraded to 240 horsepower from the Gullwing’s 212 horsepower due to the innovative Bosch fuel injection system vs. carburetors. The transmission of the Gullwing had semi straight-cut gears in its 4-speed transmission, more like a race car but had a distinctive whine while driving. The Roadster on the other hand gained a fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission which was much quieter and smoother. Other improvements included a lowered rear axle for better handling, a lower sill in the interior for easier ingress and egress, and in general practicality improvements. This 1957 300SL Roadster has a unique story, remaining in the same family for over 50 years and then recently having a stunning restoration performed on it from a detail-oriented caretaker and critically-acclaimed architect, Jonathan Segal. The 300SL was first registered in March of 1958 to John D. Ryan of Ramsey, Montana and subsequently to Dr. John Gans of Morenci, Arizona before making its way to its 50+ year longtime caretaker, Merlin D. Peay, D.D.S. Merlin Deeon Peay graduated from Clifton High School at 17 years old and went immediately into the U.S. Navy during WWII. After completing his service, he attended and graduated from the University of Arizona in Pharmacy, eventually graduating from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry at the top of his class. As part of maybe a graduate gift to himself, this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL made its way to him in the early 1960s, with his first service record showing the summer of 1963, indicating 32,153 miles on the odometer. Peay attended and graduated from the Baylor College of Orthodontics in Dallas, Texas in 1966, where he likely used the 300SL as his primary vehicle in commuting. He was not worried about using the 300SL as intended, indicated by the April 11th, 1966 service receipt with an odometer indicating 57,680 miles! By September of 1970, records indicate Peay had accumulated over 88,000 miles on the odometer. Merlin had a penchant for things fast, which could be assumed by the next logical step after one of the world’s greatest sports cars: a pilot’s license. Famously known within his community as “The Flying Orthodontist”, he regularly commuted in his personal plane back and forth from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Gallup, New Mexico for 26 years, a 4 hour and 260-mile round trip by car, and retired from Orthodontics in 1998. When renewing his Gullwing Group membership, his application indicated that in 1998 the 300SL roadster had 105,000 miles on the odometer. In December of 2013 Merlin passed away at the age of 87, leaving his beloved 300SL roadster to his wife, Darla. After a few months she decided it was time for the 300SL to find another caretaker who would enjoy the car as much as her late husband, and in early 2014 it was on its way to San Diego, California to critically-acclaimed architect and car restorer, Jonathan Segal FAIA. A caretaker of fine automobiles with an incredible sense of design through his work as an acclaimed architect, Jonathan Segal knew the 300SL Roadster had found the right home as a part of his collection. Meticulous, detail-oriented, and passionate with all of his vehicles, he enjoyed having them at their peak performance and in excellent condition, maintained by his personal in-house mechanic. Segal, known for his penchant of historic Masteratis, is not what you call an average collector. In the last 5 years alone, he took home a mind-boggling 9 awards from concourse shows, many with different cars and all restored under his supervision. These awards include Best of Show at the 2024 Concours of Elegance in Hampton Court Palace of the U.K. with his restored Maserati A6GCS Frua Spider, Best in Class at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Postwar Touring with his 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Ghia Supergioiello Coupe, and 4 design awards at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance over multiple years. In an interview with Residential Design, Segal describes how he enjoys the one-off nature of many of his cars, disassembling cars apart alongside his son and learning how the cars were built, appreciating the craftsmanship as they restore cars together. Driving the 300SL around San Diego, Segal had a number of service items performed over the years by a variety of mechanical artisans. Hjeltness Restoration, famously known for their 300SL restorations, did a significant amount of work to restore the performance of the Roadster. This work at Hjeltness included completely rebuilding the 4-speed manual transmission, removing the existing fuel tank internal surface and recoating it, relining and arcing the brake shoes, installing new rear axle boots and four shocks, rebuilding the power brake diaphragm, installing new sway bar rubbers, adding a new clutch, disc and throw out bearing, resurfacing the flywheel, replacing muffler hangers, installing a new V-belt rear transmission mount, replacing shifter bushings, rebuilding the mechanical fuel delivery pump for the injection unit, updating and rebuilding the cross shaft linkage assembly, replacing the fuel injection pump vacuum diaphragm and adjusting the mixture on pump and throttle body. This mechanical work was done in preparation for the Colorado Grand, ensuring that the 300SL was ready for the long drive ahead to be enjoyed. Towards the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, Segal had started thinking of the idea of cosmetically restoring the 300SL to a new period-correct color specification, Anthracite Grey Metallic with a Light Grey leather interior. Then, in early 2020, the Covid epidemic hit. He took this as the perfect time to restore the car while shops needed work to stay open and began the year-long process of restoring the 300SL Roadster. Ever meticulous with the Mercedes-Benz, Segal had the car disassembled at his facility before going to a reputable and noted paint facility in Southern California where the 300SL received a full bare-metal repaint. Anthracite Grey Metallic, DB172, was a period-correct Mercedes-Benz color that was used on 300SLs when they were originally for sale in the late 50s and early 60s. All of the brightwork and chrome was removed and sent out to be replated, NOS european-spec headlights were brought over personally by Segal from Europe at the tune of $30,000. Seals, gaskets, and any components that needed to be replaced were purchased with OEM parts from Mercedes-Benz Classic, ensuring their fitment and authenticity. The original interior was reupholstered in a light gray leather by two former Hjeltness employees who primarily did interior work for Hjeltness Restoration. Attention to detail was given to each and every stitch, so when said and done the interior was nothing short of fantastic. Paired with the Anthracite Grey Metallic paint, the color combination is a stunning example of a restoration done right. The engine, the 3.0L inline-6 engine, now with over 105,000 miles since it was originally new in 1958, was treated to a full engine rebuild by Mark Ballerini. Known for his engine building skills while at Hjeltness Restoration for his tenure of 10+ years, he was chosen to be the person to rebuild the 300SL’s engine. Once completed, Segal took the car on the California Mille, and Mark used this time to tune the engine to perfection. After the Roadster was restored and driven in the California Mille, Segal kept the car in his collection for a few more years, enjoying it thoroughly. After bringing it to its current state, and having it with him for more than 10 years, he decided that it was time for the car to find a new caretaker. The 300SL Roadster arrived at Canepa and was immediately entered into the “Canepa Difference” process, ensuring that cosmetically and mechanically it was perfect through inspection, and addressing anything that required attention. The car was put into Canepa’s detailing department where it was given a concours-level detailing of the underside, ensuring no dirt or oil was left. It next went through a multi-stage paint-polishing process to enhance the luster of the Anthracite Grey Metallic paint finish. Mechanically it was thoroughly inspected and found to be in excellent condition, driving well and starting without hesitation, and overall being ready to drive out into another car tour. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is a magical car that attracts attention anywhere it goes. With a design that was well ahead of its time, there is no doubt that the 300SL is one of the most iconic vehicles in the world, bar none. Restored and sorted, this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is ready for another 50 years on the road and any concours lawn.

To challenge the all-conquering Porsche 911 of the late seventies, Jochen Neerpasch, then head of BMW Motorsport, called for an all-new track focused machine. Lacking capacity to produce the 400 examples required to meet homologation rules, the German automaker approached mid-engine expert Lamborghini. Miura mastermind Gian Paolo Dallara reportedly helped develop a tubular steel space-frame chassis, but with economic headwinds challenging the ailing Italian firm, BMW took its M1 project in-house in April 1978. Despite the schism, the project remained a multi-national effort with the car’s fiberglass body penned by the talented Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign and manufactured by TIR in Reggio Emilia, Italy, while Marchesi of Modena assembled the chassis before Italdesign unified the two in Turin. From there, the nearly completed M1s were shipped to Germany where Baur would install the Paul Rosche-designed, hand-built M88/1 3.5-liter screaming inline-six engine. These efforts birthed BMW’s one and only supercar, and the first model to wear the company’s vaunted “M” moniker. Built from 1978 to 1981, just 56 race-prepped M1s would fulfill BMW Munich’s motor sport ambitions. The remaining 399 examples in road-going trim were built to homologate the model for competition. This BMW M1 was delivered new to Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters following the release of the band’s iconic 1979 album, The Wall. According to the original BMW Motorsport invoice on file made out to George Roger Waters, this example was completed in March of 1979 and finished in the desirable shade of Blau (Code 207). Waters traveled to Germany to take delivery before importing the M1 to the United Kingdom in April of 1980. Retaining the car for 42 years, Waters compiled substantial documentation, including past MOT inspections, registration paperwork, the original German-delivery plate, and original purchasing invoices. From 2006 to 2020, Meridien Modena of Lyndhurst, United Kingdom, maintained the vehicle and performed oil changes, replaced tires, and conducted MOT tests. In 2021, the BMW was imported to the United States prior to being privately sold to its second owner, a noted watch and car collector. Soon after the acquisition, R&R Automotive Restorations of Mount Kisco, New York, replaced the fluids, rebuilt the shocks and brakes, and replaced suspension bushings, hoses, and the clutch slave cylinder, among other work, which cost over $30,000. With roughly 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles) logged on the odometer at the time, great effort was taken to preserve originality while ensuring proper function of the various mechanical systems. Following the mechanical overhaul, Turn 7 Auto Care of White Plains, New York, preformed comprehensive interior and exterior detail work prior to the car’s showing at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2022, where it won the prestigious 50th Anniversary of BMW M Division Class. Now showing with roughly 15,600 Kilometers on the odometer and benefitting from another round of professional detailing in March 2025, the quality of this BMW M1 remains undeniable. Thanks to diligent, well-recorded upkeep from its world-famous long-term owner, this 1970s wonder persists as one of the finest examples of the breed. 1980 BMW M1 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Unveiled at the 1966 Geneva Salon, the Ferrari 330 GTC offered a masterful blend of comfort and performance, capturing the best qualities of both the luxurious 330 GT 2+2 and the competition-inspired 275 GTB. Designed and assembled by Pininfarina in Turin before receiving its mechanical components at Ferrari’s facility in Maranello, the GTC shared the 275 GTB’s steering, suspension, and five-speed transaxle. Its wheelbase, 10 inches shorter than the 330 GT 2+2, provided agility and a notably dynamic driving character that set it apart from other mid-century touring models. Headlining the car’s credentials was its 4.0-liter Colombo V-12 engine, producing 300 horsepower and endowing it with remarkable performance for such a sophisticated grand tourer, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in under seven seconds on its way to a 150-mph top speed. Stylistically, the 330 GTC reflected Pininfarina’s clean, balanced design language. Its forward section echoed the exclusive 500 Superfast with a slim ovoid grille, recessed headlights, and triple-louvered engine-bay vents, while the tail—borrowed from the 275 GTS—added visual lightness, complemented by slim quarter bumpers. Inside, the rear seats were replaced with a practical luggage shelf while exceptionally thin A- and B-pillars created an airy cabin with outstanding visibility all around. The 330 GTC offered here—chassis 9595—completed production on 6 March 1967, with subsequent mechanical fine-tuning carried out by Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department at Viale Trento Trieste in Modena. Originally earmarked for export to Switzerland as a left-hand-drive European specification with kilometer-calibrated instruments, the car left the factory presented as it is today in Azzurro (20336 A) over Nero Franzi trim. Ultimately, the car remained in its native Italy, being sold new to a Milanese gentleman before being exported to the United States in 1973 by Milan-based dealer Dino Armando Genghini. Following its arrival stateside, chassis 9595 was sold in September 1973 to a Denver, Colorado, resident who retained it for approximately a year before it passed to an enthusiast in Phoenix, Arizona. After its tenure in the Southwest, the Ferrari came under the ownership of acclaimed civic architect Robert “Bob” Frasca. A founding design partner of the Portland, Oregon-based Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects, one of the world’s premier architectural firms, Frasca played a critical role in the evolution of Portland as one of America’s most livable cities and was instrumental in shaping its skyline. He designed many of the Rose City’s most important civic projects, including Waterfront Park, the Multnomah County Justice Center, the Oregon Convention Center, and the Portland International Airport. Frasca would cherish chassis 9595 for nearly three decades, with numerous invoices on file attesting to the car’s maintenance under his care. The legendary architect parted with the Ferrari in 2014 before it was subsequently acquired by the consignor who promptly commissioned an extensive, nearly $47,000 mechanical overhaul by Dino Motors of San Rafael, California. Invoices on file reflect a meticulous rebuild of the numbers-matching engine, new hoses, clutch adjustment, electrical sorting, a fresh wood dashboard, and a host of additional fine mechanical corrections. Further work followed in 2018, when 9595 returned to Dino Motors for continued attention, including a rebuild of its triple Weber carburetors. The car is accompanied by a set of Campagnolo alloy wheels, a service file, and an assortment of owner’s books with leather pouch. Supremely glamorous and consistently admired, this cherished 330 GTC exemplifies the elegance and balance of Ferrari’s mid-century grand touring cars, an example certain to delight its next custodian for years to come. 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Unveiled at the 1966 Geneva Salon, the Ferrari 330 GTC offered a masterful blend of comfort and performance, capturing the best qualities of both the luxurious 330 GT 2+2 and the competition-inspired 275 GTB. Designed and assembled by Pininfarina in Turin before receiving its mechanical components at Ferrari’s facility in Maranello, the GTC shared the 275 GTB’s steering, suspension, and five-speed transaxle. Its wheelbase, 10 inches shorter than the 330 GT 2+2, provided agility and a notably dynamic driving character that set it apart from other mid-century touring models. Headlining the car’s credentials was its 4.0-liter Colombo V-12 engine, producing 300 horsepower and endowing it with remarkable performance for such a sophisticated grand tourer, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in under seven seconds on its way to a 150-mph top speed. Stylistically, the 330 GTC reflected Pininfarina’s clean, balanced design language. Its forward section echoed the exclusive 500 Superfast with a slim ovoid grille, recessed headlights, and triple-louvered engine-bay vents, while the tail—borrowed from the 275 GTS—added visual lightness, complemented by slim quarter bumpers. Inside, the rear seats were replaced with a practical luggage shelf while exceptionally thin A- and B-pillars created an airy cabin with outstanding visibility all around. The 330 GTC offered here—chassis 9595—completed production on 6 March 1967, with subsequent mechanical fine-tuning carried out by Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department at Viale Trento Trieste in Modena. Originally earmarked for export to Switzerland as a left-hand-drive European specification with kilometer-calibrated instruments, the car left the factory presented as it is today in Azzurro (20336 A) over Nero Franzi trim. Ultimately, the car remained in its native Italy, being sold new to a Milanese gentleman before being exported to the United States in 1973 by Milan-based dealer Dino Armando Genghini. Following its arrival stateside, chassis 9595 was sold in September 1973 to a Denver, Colorado, resident who retained it for approximately a year before it passed to an enthusiast in Phoenix, Arizona. After its tenure in the Southwest, the Ferrari came under the ownership of acclaimed civic architect Robert “Bob” Frasca. A founding design partner of the Portland, Oregon-based Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects, one of the world’s premier architectural firms, Frasca played a critical role in the evolution of Portland as one of America’s most livable cities and was instrumental in shaping its skyline. He designed many of the Rose City’s most important civic projects, including Waterfront Park, the Multnomah County Justice Center, the Oregon Convention Center, and the Portland International Airport. Frasca would cherish chassis 9595 for nearly three decades, with numerous invoices on file attesting to the car’s maintenance under his care. The legendary architect parted with the Ferrari in 2014 before it was subsequently acquired by the consignor who promptly commissioned an extensive, nearly $47,000 mechanical overhaul by Dino Motors of San Rafael, California. Invoices on file reflect a meticulous rebuild of the numbers-matching engine, new hoses, clutch adjustment, electrical sorting, a fresh wood dashboard, and a host of additional fine mechanical corrections. Further work followed in 2018, when 9595 returned to Dino Motors for continued attention, including a rebuild of its triple Weber carburetors. The car is accompanied by a set of Campagnolo alloy wheels, a service file, and an assortment of owner’s books with leather pouch. Supremely glamorous and consistently admired, this cherished 330 GTC exemplifies the elegance and balance of Ferrari’s mid-century grand touring cars, an example certain to delight its next custodian for years to come.

A long-tailed last hurrah To say Gordon Murray grumbled when he was tasked with transforming the road-going McLaren F1 into an endurance racing car would be an understatement. You see, when the Formula 1 mastermind set about designing the finest zero-compromise driver’s car for the road, he’d told McLaren’s head honcho Ron Dennis not to come back later and ask for a competition version. Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the GTR. A compromised racer it might have fundamentally been, but the F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright on its debut in the French endurance classic. Nineteen ninety-seven. Cue the arrival of the Porsche and Mercedes-AMG factory teams, whose interpretation of the rules and spirit of the flourishing sports-car championship were perhaps not as sportsmanlike as their existing competitors would have appreciated. McLaren was forced to up its game. Murray was forced to return to the drawing board. “Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the McLaren F1 GTR.” As per the homologation rules dictated by the FIA, if McLaren wanted to drastically update the F1 GTR, it needed to sell a corresponding road-going version. So that’s exactly what it did. Christened the F1 GT, just three of these new high-downforce unicorns were built. The corresponding competition car, the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’, was an entirely different beast, differing from its predecessor in a number of important ways. Most obviously there was the bodywork, which was swelled dramatically in a bid for more aerodynamic downforce. The extended front and rear overhangs (adding 641mm to the overall length), the taller and more pronounced roof scoop, the louvres atop the front wheel arches and the wider rear track all combined to give the F1 the downforce it needed to match the speed of the Porsche 911 GT1s and the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMGs. Needless to say, the modifications were not skin deep. The size of the BMW engine was reduced ever so slightly in order to improve the reliability over long distances, while a six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox replaced the comparatively antiquated H-pattern of the older model. Our favourite feature? The golf ball-style gear knob – a feature borrowed from BMW’s all-conquering touring cars and a small signal of the Munich manufacturer’s involvement with the F1 GTR programme. The Finnish driver JJ Lehto, who’d been part of the lineup who won Le Mans with the F1 GTR in 1995, described the ‘Longtail’ as “like jumping from Formula 3000 to Formula 1’ when he first drove it in early 1997. “The downforce was on another level, the braking was better, the car was lighter and the engine produced more power,” he continued. “It was instantly clear that the car was a huge step forward in every area.” Indeed, the Schnitzer-run Works BMW Motorsport team took delivery of four of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built. Four chassis were delivered to the Gulf-Davidoff GTC Motorsports team, commonly held as McLaren’s ‘British entry’. The two remaining cars, chassis numbers 19R (the prototype) and 027R, were sold to smaller privateer outfits. Chassis number 027R The penultimate of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built, chassis number 27R was ordered new by David Morrison’s Parabolica Motorsport outfit. A Scottish banker high in the ranks of Goldman Sachs, Morrison counted a ‘regular’ F1 road car and an F1 LM among his collection. Finished in a striking yellow and blue Parabolica livery, the car made its competitive debut in the opening round of the 1997 British GT Championship at Silverstone on 6 April. Driven by Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin (who later became McLaren’s chief test-driver), chassis 27R was the sole McLaren F1 on the entry list, which also featured, among others, several Porsche 911 GT2s and a Jaguar XJ220. As the bright yellow McLaren crossed the finish line over 1min10sec ahead of the second-placed Porsche, so the new F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ recorded its first victory. Kazumichi Goh’s Team Lark McLaren leased chassis number 027R for the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans The traditional pre-24 Hours of Le Mans practice weekend took place in early May and chassis 27R was drafted into action for the second time. For Le Mans, however, this F1 was leased to the quasi-Works Team Lark McLaren from Japan, which was fresh off the back of its spectacular GT500 triumph in the 1996 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) with the short-tail F1 GTR. The major upset, which caused a great stir among the factory Nissan, Honda and Toyota outfits who’d lost on home turf, was architected by team owner Kazumichi Goh. When the JGTC’s governing body imposed a raft of sanctions and technical limitations on the Lark-liveried McLarens in a bid to level the playing field for 1997, Goh and McLaren decided to withdraw completely. Nineteen ninety-six remains the only year to date in which the GT500 crown was claimed by a non-Japanese manufacturer. We digress – back to chassis 27R. In light of his team’s withdrawal from the JGTC, Goh instead turned his sights to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most challenging motor race on the planet. McLaren were able to matchmake Goh and David Morrison and a deal was struck to allow Team Lark McLaren to sponsor this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ for both pre-qualifying and the race proper. It was duly refinished in the Japanese team’s striking ‘Rocket Pink’ and ‘Black Obsidian Grey’ livery, with some clandestine-ish sponsorship (Lark was a Philip Morris-owned tobacco company, the advertisement of which was prohibited at Le Mans). Chassis number 27R returned to its yellow Team Parabolica livery for the remainder of the 1997 FIA GT Championship A strong trio of Japanese pilots was earmarked to race chassis 27R at Le Mans: Akihiko Nakaya, Katsutomo Kaneishi and Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya was a coup for Team Lark McLaren and indeed the Le Mans organisers. The commonly held ‘Drift King’, Tsuchiya can fairly be described as the man who made drifting such a worldwide phenomenon. Parabolica’s Gary Ayles joined the squad for pre-qualifying in order to help the Japanese drivers get up to speed with the car. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ayles set the quickest time. Before Le Mans proper, Parabolica reassumed possession of this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ and entered the second round of the 1997 FIA GT Championship at Silverstone. With Le Mans just around the corner, chassis 27R was kept in its Team Lark McLaren livery for convenience, albeit with Parabolica sponsorship. Against the might of the factory Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW teams and in less-than-ideal conditions, Ayles and Goodwin carefully fought their way up the grid. “Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving.” As they snatched the lead, so chassis 27R became the first – and only – privately entered McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to lead a round of the FIA GT Championship. The heavens soon opened and Parabolica made a pit stop. Tragically, the race was red-flagged due to the conditions shortly afterwards and Ayles and Goodwin were forced to settle for sixth position. The 24 Hours of Le Mans beckoned. After the first qualifying session it became clear that Katsutomo Kaneishi was well off the pace on the Circuit de la Sarthe, so the team took the difficult decision to substitute in Gary Ayles, who’d had the most seat time in the car. When Ayles duly turned a lap time of 3min47.1sec and earned the team 10th on the grid, faces in the Team Lark McLaren garage were awash with relief. Ayles was elected to start the 24-hour race – once again a decision which proved worthwhile. The Brit held his nerve and was quickly mingling with the leaders. By the time the light faded and darkness began to envelope the circuit, chassis 27R was running well within the top 10. That was until Akihiko Nakaya overcooked it into Tertre Rouge and that was that. Under the Parabolica Motorsport banner, chassis 27R competed at circuits around the world including Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka and Laguna Seca It’s worth noting that, seven years later and after a number of failed attempts, Kazumichi Goh finally won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2004. His team became only the second Japanese outfit to achieve the feat. Sweet, sweet redemption. After Le Mans this McLaren was returned to its bright yellow Parabolica livery and entered in the remaining rounds of the 1997 FIA GT Championship, predominantly in Europe but also at Suzuka in Japan and Laguna Seca in the United States of America. The most notable results of the season was a brace of sixth positions at the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives outweighed the negatives for David Morrison and his squad of drivers and personnel. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving. In 1998, McLaren brokered a deal for Morrison to sell chassis 27R to the British accountant (read fraudster) and founder of AM Racing James Cox. Cox hatched a plan to contest the 1999 British GT Championship and organised a lavish evening to launch his campaign, starring the McLaren (now painted in Papaya Orange), the pop star Paul Young and the supermodel Caprice. Veuve Clicquot was the only visible sponsor on the car. If questions weren’t already being raised as to the origins of Cox’s wealth, then they certainly were when he appeared on a BBC television show with his two McLaren F1s. Cox managed to bank five races, partnered with Chris Goodwin, before the authorities caught up with him in the summer of 1999. Chassis 27R was acquired by Paul Osborn of CARS International. He kept it for almost a decade, during which time he exhibited it at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Lanzante restoration & road conversion – total cost: £300,000 (GBP) In 2011, this McLaren was sent to the world’s leading F1 GTR specialist Dean Lanzante in Hampshire, England, to be comprehensively restored at a cost in excess of £110,000.And later, in 2017, the necessary modifications were made by Lanzante in order to make the ‘Longtail’ roadworthy – a process that cost almost £200,000. The first F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to undergo the race-to-road conversion was chassis number 19R, the prototype affectionately known as ‘Squiggles’ thanks to its colourful pop-art-inspired livery, back in 2015. If you thought this was merely a case of raising the ride height and quietening the exhaust, you can think again. The year-long project was undertaken in close collaboration with the F1’s legendary designer Gordon Murray and his expert team at Gordon Murray Design (GMD). Both Lanzante and GMD had a wealth of experience road-converting the short-tailed 1995 and 1996 F1 GTRs. However, from a mechanical and technological perspective, those cars were much closer to the production road-going F1. The ‘Longtail’ went several steps further in terms of development, receiving a significantly advanced aerodynamic package that, by its very nature, compromised on practicality. Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer. Particular focus was paid to the steering, which needed to navigate England’s myriad mini-roundabouts, and the damping, which needed to handle England’s notoriously poor road surfaces. GMD also had to work out how the handbrake system from the road-going F1 could be fitted to the GTR ‘Longtail’ – an installation process nowhere near as simple as it sounds. Other modifications included raising the ride height, fitting smaller wheels and tyres, fitting a left-hand passenger seat and installing quieter exhaust baffles that didn’t sap power. Where necessary, parts were reengineered or even designed from scratch, as the accompanying technical drawings illustrate. And Lanzante and GMD tested the car extensively at the Dunsfold aerodrome, paying particular attention to the aerodynamic efficiency of the car with its bespoke reprofiled nose section. Chassis number 27R went through the exact same process as chassis number 19R, at a cost in excess of £198,000. It’s important to note that all the original components removed at this point accompany the car, which can be returned to full competition-specification if required. “Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset of the conversion process was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer.” Chassis number 27R was subsequently road-registered in the United Kingdom. The car was acquired by its current owner, a collector with a stable full of ultra-significant historic competition cars including a Ferrari 250 LM and a 312 PB, in 2017. He entrusted Lanzante with returning the car to its original Parabolica FIA GT Championship livery. Chassis 027R has made a number of public appearances since then, including at the 2022 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (where it was awarded ‘Best in Class’) and the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not an everyday sight: a McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ driving on the public roads around Monterey on the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance In April of 1997, the British racing drivers Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin earned the ‘Longtail’ variant of the McLaren F1 GTR its very first victory, in the opening round of the British GT Championship at Silverstone. “I was a bit embarrassed because it was like bringing a sledgehammer to a knife fight,” recalls Ayles, who was reunited with the very F1 with which he scored that win, chassis number 27R, at the 2024 Festival of Speed. “I’d raced a Ferrari F40 before that and the McLaren was leaps and bounds ahead in terms of refinement.” Despite the fact he hadn’t sat in the car for almost 30 years, Ayles took no time getting his eye in on the world-famous Goodwood hill-climb. “I’m a bit rusty, which makes things a bit nerve-racking, but the experience has been fantastic,” Ayles gushes. “When you’re younger you don’t really take things in like you should, but now I’m older I realise what a wonderful time in my life that was. I can’t help but smile every time I climb in.” Gary Ayles reunited with chassis number 27R at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed Chassis 27R is accompanied by a generous history file, comprising period photography, telemetry data logged during its period competition career, invoices from its restoration and road conversion at Lanzante, and the ultra-rare McLaren factory F1 GTR workshop manual and spare-parts catalogue. There’s also an inventory of spare parts including body panels, brake sets, transmission componentry, radiators and spare wheels. With only 10 in existence and all accounted for in the collections of both manufacturers and prominent private individuals, the GTR ‘Longtails’ are the rarest of the McLaren F1’s competition variants. Chassis 27R not only boasts the distinction of being the very first example to win a race, but it also counts six rounds of the top-flight FIA GT Championship on its competition record and, of course, the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. This F1 retains the exact engine with which it was delivered, numbered S70/3-606 – another string to its bow. Comprehensively restored by the best in the business and fully road-worthy, this McLaren is among the most sought-after modern-era endurance racing cars of them all. Needless to say, it would be welcomed with open arms to a whole host of the world’s most prestigious dynamic and static historic motoring events, including the Le Mans Classic, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail Girardo & Co.

You see, when the Formula 1 mastermind set about designing the finest zero-compromise driver’s car for the road, he’d told McLaren’s head honcho Ron Dennis not to come back later and ask for a competition version. Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the GTR. A compromised racer it might have fundamentally been, but the F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright on its debut in the French endurance classic. Nineteen ninety-seven. Cue the arrival of the Porsche and Mercedes-AMG factory teams, whose interpretation of the rules and spirit of the flourishing sports-car championship were perhaps not as sportsmanlike as their existing competitors would have appreciated. McLaren was forced to up its game. Murray was forced to return to the drawing board. “Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the McLaren F1 GTR.” As per the homologation rules dictated by the FIA, if McLaren wanted to drastically update the F1 GTR, it needed to sell a corresponding road-going version. So that’s exactly what it did. Christened the F1 GT, just three of these new high-downforce unicorns were built. The corresponding competition car, the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’, was an entirely different beast, differing from its predecessor in a number of important ways. Most obviously there was the bodywork, which was swelled dramatically in a bid for more aerodynamic downforce. The extended front and rear overhangs (adding 641mm to the overall length), the taller and more pronounced roof scoop, the louvres atop the front wheel arches and the wider rear track all combined to give the F1 the downforce it needed to match the speed of the Porsche 911 GT1s and the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMGs. Needless to say, the modifications were not skin deep. The size of the BMW engine was reduced ever so slightly in order to improve the reliability over long distances, while a six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox replaced the comparatively antiquated H-pattern of the older model. Our favourite feature? The golf ball-style gear knob – a feature borrowed from BMW’s all-conquering touring cars and a small signal of the Munich manufacturer’s involvement with the F1 GTR programme. The Finnish driver JJ Lehto, who’d been part of the lineup who won Le Mans with the F1 GTR in 1995, described the ‘Longtail’ as “like jumping from Formula 3000 to Formula 1’ when he first drove it in early 1997. “The downforce was on another level, the braking was better, the car was lighter and the engine produced more power,” he continued. “It was instantly clear that the car was a huge step forward in every area.” Indeed, the Schnitzer-run Works BMW Motorsport team took delivery of four of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built. Four chassis were delivered to the Gulf-Davidoff GTC Motorsports team, commonly held as McLaren’s ‘British entry’. The two remaining cars, chassis numbers 19R (the prototype) and 027R, were sold to smaller privateer outfits. Chassis number 027R The penultimate of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built, chassis number 27R was ordered new by David Morrison’s Parabolica Motorsport outfit. A Scottish banker high in the ranks of Goldman Sachs, Morrison counted a ‘regular’ F1 road car and an F1 LM among his collection. Finished in a striking yellow and blue Parabolica livery, the car made its competitive debut in the opening round of the 1997 British GT Championship at Silverstone on 6 April. Driven by Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin (who later became McLaren’s chief test-driver), chassis 27R was the sole McLaren F1 on the entry list, which also featured, among others, several Porsche 911 GT2s and a Jaguar XJ220. As the bright yellow McLaren crossed the finish line over 1min10sec ahead of the second-placed Porsche, so the new F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ recorded its first victory. Kazumichi Goh’s Team Lark McLaren leased chassis number 027R for the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans The traditional pre-24 Hours of Le Mans practice weekend took place in early May and chassis 27R was drafted into action for the second time. For Le Mans, however, this F1 was leased to the quasi-Works Team Lark McLaren from Japan, which was fresh off the back of its spectacular GT500 triumph in the 1996 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) with the short-tail F1 GTR. The major upset, which caused a great stir among the factory Nissan, Honda and Toyota outfits who’d lost on home turf, was architected by team owner Kazumichi Goh. When the JGTC’s governing body imposed a raft of sanctions and technical limitations on the Lark-liveried McLarens in a bid to level the playing field for 1997, Goh and McLaren decided to withdraw completely. Nineteen ninety-six remains the only year to date in which the GT500 crown was claimed by a non-Japanese manufacturer. We digress – back to chassis 27R. In light of his team’s withdrawal from the JGTC, Goh instead turned his sights to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most challenging motor race on the planet. McLaren were able to matchmake Goh and David Morrison and a deal was struck to allow Team Lark McLaren to sponsor this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ for both pre-qualifying and the race proper. It was duly refinished in the Japanese team’s striking ‘Rocket Pink’ and ‘Black Obsidian Grey’ livery, with some clandestine-ish sponsorship (Lark was a Philip Morris-owned tobacco company, the advertisement of which was prohibited at Le Mans). Chassis number 27R returned to its yellow Team Parabolica livery for the remainder of the 1997 FIA GT Championship A strong trio of Japanese pilots was earmarked to race chassis 27R at Le Mans: Akihiko Nakaya, Katsutomo Kaneishi and Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya was a coup for Team Lark McLaren and indeed the Le Mans organisers. The commonly held ‘Drift King’, Tsuchiya can fairly be described as the man who made drifting such a worldwide phenomenon. Parabolica’s Gary Ayles joined the squad for pre-qualifying in order to help the Japanese drivers get up to speed with the car. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ayles set the quickest time. Before Le Mans proper, Parabolica reassumed possession of this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ and entered the second round of the 1997 FIA GT Championship at Silverstone. With Le Mans just around the corner, chassis 27R was kept in its Team Lark McLaren livery for convenience, albeit with Parabolica sponsorship. Against the might of the factory Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW teams and in less-than-ideal conditions, Ayles and Goodwin carefully fought their way up the grid. “Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving.” As they snatched the lead, so chassis 27R became the first – and only – privately entered McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to lead a round of the FIA GT Championship. The heavens soon opened and Parabolica made a pit stop. Tragically, the race was red-flagged due to the conditions shortly afterwards and Ayles and Goodwin were forced to settle for sixth position. The 24 Hours of Le Mans beckoned. After the first qualifying session it became clear that Katsutomo Kaneishi was well off the pace on the Circuit de la Sarthe, so the team took the difficult decision to substitute in Gary Ayles, who’d had the most seat time in the car. When Ayles duly turned a lap time of 3min47.1sec and earned the team 10th on the grid, faces in the Team Lark McLaren garage were awash with relief. Ayles was elected to start the 24-hour race – once again a decision which proved worthwhile. The Brit held his nerve and was quickly mingling with the leaders. By the time the light faded and darkness began to envelope the circuit, chassis 27R was running well within the top 10. That was until Akihiko Nakaya overcooked it into Tertre Rouge and that was that. Under the Parabolica Motorsport banner, chassis 27R competed at circuits around the world including Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka and Laguna Seca It’s worth noting that, seven years later and after a number of failed attempts, Kazumichi Goh finally won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2004. His team became only the second Japanese outfit to achieve the feat. Sweet, sweet redemption. After Le Mans this McLaren was returned to its bright yellow Parabolica livery and entered in the remaining rounds of the 1997 FIA GT Championship, predominantly in Europe but also at Suzuka in Japan and Laguna Seca in the United States of America. The most notable results of the season was a brace of sixth positions at the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives outweighed the negatives for David Morrison and his squad of drivers and personnel. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving. In 1998, McLaren brokered a deal for Morrison to sell chassis 27R to the British accountant (read fraudster) and founder of AM Racing James Cox. Cox hatched a plan to contest the 1999 British GT Championship and organised a lavish evening to launch his campaign, starring the McLaren (now painted in Papaya Orange), the pop star Paul Young and the supermodel Caprice. Veuve Clicquot was the only visible sponsor on the car. If questions weren’t already being raised as to the origins of Cox’s wealth, then they certainly were when he appeared on a BBC television show with his two McLaren F1s. Cox managed to bank five races, partnered with Chris Goodwin, before the authorities caught up with him in the summer of 1999. Chassis 27R was acquired by Paul Osborn of CARS International. He kept it for almost a decade, during which time he exhibited it at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Lanzante restoration & road conversion – total cost: £300,000 (GBP) In 2011, this McLaren was sent to the world’s leading F1 GTR specialist Dean Lanzante in Hampshire, England, to be comprehensively restored at a cost in excess of £110,000.And later, in 2017, the necessary modifications were made by Lanzante in order to make the ‘Longtail’ roadworthy – a process that cost almost £200,000. The first F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to undergo the race-to-road conversion was chassis number 19R, the prototype affectionately known as ‘Squiggles’ thanks to its colourful pop-art-inspired livery, back in 2015. If you thought this was merely a case of raising the ride height and quietening the exhaust, you can think again. The year-long project was undertaken in close collaboration with the F1’s legendary designer Gordon Murray and his expert team at Gordon Murray Design (GMD). Both Lanzante and GMD had a wealth of experience road-converting the short-tailed 1995 and 1996 F1 GTRs. However, from a mechanical and technological perspective, those cars were much closer to the production road-going F1. The ‘Longtail’ went several steps further in terms of development, receiving a significantly advanced aerodynamic package that, by its very nature, compromised on practicality. Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer. Particular focus was paid to the steering, which needed to navigate England’s myriad mini-roundabouts, and the damping, which needed to handle England’s notoriously poor road surfaces. GMD also had to work out how the handbrake system from the road-going F1 could be fitted to the GTR ‘Longtail’ – an installation process nowhere near as simple as it sounds. Other modifications included raising the ride height, fitting smaller wheels and tyres, fitting a left-hand passenger seat and installing quieter exhaust baffles that didn’t sap power. Where necessary, parts were reengineered or even designed from scratch, as the accompanying technical drawings illustrate. And Lanzante and GMD tested the car extensively at the Dunsfold aerodrome, paying particular attention to the aerodynamic efficiency of the car with its bespoke reprofiled nose section. Chassis number 27R went through the exact same process as chassis number 19R, at a cost in excess of £198,000. It’s important to note that all the original components removed at this point accompany the car, which can be returned to full competition-specification if required. “Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset of the conversion process was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer.” Chassis number 27R was subsequently road-registered in the United Kingdom. The car was acquired by its current owner, a collector with a stable full of ultra-significant historic competition cars including a Ferrari 250 LM and a 312 PB, in 2017. He entrusted Lanzante with returning the car to its original Parabolica FIA GT Championship livery. Chassis 027R has made a number of public appearances since then, including at the 2022 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (where it was awarded ‘Best in Class’) and the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not an everyday sight: a McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ driving on the public roads around Monterey on the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance In April of 1997, the British racing drivers Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin earned the ‘Longtail’ variant of the McLaren F1 GTR its very first victory, in the opening round of the British GT Championship at Silverstone. “I was a bit embarrassed because it was like bringing a sledgehammer to a knife fight,” recalls Ayles, who was reunited with the very F1 with which he scored that win, chassis number 27R, at the 2024 Festival of Speed. “I’d raced a Ferrari F40 before that and the McLaren was leaps and bounds ahead in terms of refinement.” Despite the fact he hadn’t sat in the car for almost 30 years, Ayles took no time getting his eye in on the world-famous Goodwood hill-climb. “I’m a bit rusty, which makes things a bit nerve-racking, but the experience has been fantastic,” Ayles gushes. “When you’re younger you don’t really take things in like you should, but now I’m older I realise what a wonderful time in my life that was. I can’t help but smile every time I climb in.” Gary Ayles reunited with chassis number 27R at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed Chassis 27R is accompanied by a generous history file, comprising period photography, telemetry data logged during its period competition career, invoices from its restoration and road conversion at Lanzante, and the ultra-rare McLaren factory F1 GTR workshop manual and spare-parts catalogue. There’s also an inventory of spare parts including body panels, brake sets, transmission componentry, radiators and spare wheels. With only 10 in existence and all accounted for in the collections of both manufacturers and prominent private individuals, the GTR ‘Longtails’ are the rarest of the McLaren F1’s competition variants. Chassis 27R not only boasts the distinction of being the very first example to win a race, but it also counts six rounds of the top-flight FIA GT Championship on its competition record and, of course, the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. This F1 retains the exact engine with which it was delivered, numbered S70/3-606 – another string to its bow. Comprehensively restored by the best in the business and fully road-worthy, this McLaren is among the most sought-after modern-era endurance racing cars of them all. Needless to say, it would be welcomed with open arms to a whole host of the world’s most prestigious dynamic and static historic motoring events, including the Le Mans Classic, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
