This beautifully finished 250SL represents the later series 250 SL which included the safety improvements, increased engine displacement, and improved cooling system. Light, sporty and outfitted with a 4-speed manual transmission, this 250SL was delivered to North America with an MPH speedometer. The car was very likely delivered to the first owner in California as the accompanying service booklet is stamped from Import Motors Mercedes-Benz Service, Oakland, CA March 20, 1974, with 76,398 miles. A second service stamp, also from Import Motors, is noted on February 7, 1975, with 90,502 miles. The current owner purchased this car in April 2017 with 47,687 miles. Restored to a high level under prior ownership, the car has remained with the current owners as part of a small collection of classic cars with just over 1,000 miles accrued during their eight years of ownership. Though the owner has not retained service invoices for the car, it was annually serviced including oil and filter changes and other services as needed. In preparation for consignment, a compression test was performed returning the following numbers listing cylinder 1 at the radiator to cylinder 6 at the cowl of the car. Cylinder 1 - 171 Cylinder 2 - 171 Cylinder 3 - 174 Cylinder 4 - 170 Cylinder 5 - 175 Cylinder 6 - 175 Condition Overview Today this 250 SL presents as a very nice example of a restored 250 SL. The elegant gray paint is smooth and glossy with excellent coverage. As the dashboard is painted silver, the car is believed to have been delivered from the factory originally finished in silver metallic. The front fender factory spot welds are evident on both sides of the flanged inner fender metal when viewed under the hood, however the grille surround and headlight section show evidence of body repairs and the inner fender “nicks” have been smoothed off, which is generally indicative of post-factory bodywork. The doors shut very well and retain good panel gaps to the front and rear fenders, while the side glass and hardtop fixed quarter and rear glass retain the factory Sekurit branding indicative of factory glass. The hood and trunk also exhibit proper fit and closure. The chrome throughout is in very good condition, with nice luster and clean, bright reflections. All lenses, lighting, and glass are in excellent condition with no significant chips or marks on the windshield. The black canvas convertible top is nicely tailored with a clear and taut plastic rear window with excellent top bow tailoring and fabric welting on the underside of the top. The convertible top moves up and down smoothly and latches easily to the windshield header. The hardtop is in excellent condition finished in contrasting black with white headliner and very good glass. A nicely finished set of matching steel wheels are trimmed with correct hubcaps, wheel rings, and a set of contemporary Yokohama Avid Touring S 195/70R14 radial tires. The interior has been correctly restored in attractive cognac vinyl. The seats, door panels, and dashboard are in excellent condition. The seats feature excellent foam padding, correct pleating, and show little to no wear. The oatmeal-colored square weave carpeting is trimmed with matching cognac colored perimeter beading which covers the front footwells and rear storage area. The instruments are in excellent condition, fronted by a correct steering wheel with a matching gray padded horn button. The dashboard is finished in silver likely indicative of the original exterior color. The surrounding dash pad is in excellent condition as are the refinished wood trim and white sun visors. Adesirable Becker Europa II AM/FM radio is installed. The trunk is clean and nicely finished with the correct satin black inner finish, a full-size spare tire and vinyl cover and a correct fluted gray rubber mat. The engine compartment features a nicely restored and correct 2.5-liter engine, cast alloy cam cover, fuel-injection, and excellent detailing. Both the engine and engine compartment are beautifully finished and properly presented with correct parts, factory components, and updated lines and hoses. Underneath the car, the finishes are very nice overall indicating the restoration was performed to a high standard though some surfaces have mellowed over time. A solid floor, excellent suspension components, proper exhaust, and nicely detailed engine components further support the restoration work performed some years ago. There is no evidence of structural compromise to the chassis floor or major suspension mounting points. The car starts easily and idles smoothly. Driving manners are quite nice particularly for this example which offers a smooth gearbox, comfortable uptake on the clutch, helpful power steering, and excellent acceleration through all gears. The added power and torque are noticeable in this 250 SL particularly when compared to the earlier 230 series. The ride engineering, responsive suspension, and ample seating room create a wonderfully open-air experience with composed power delivery for two occupants with plenty of luggage space and legroom suitable for tall occupants. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very nicely prepared 250 SL finished in great colors. Rare in number and ready for enjoyable driving or club shows, this handsome and iconic Mercedes-Benz 250 SL is sure to entice the next enthusiast with invitations to enjoyable casual outings, hours of touring delight, and extended weekend adventures with a fortunate companion.

The Lancia Flavia introduced in 1960 was the first Italian series produced car with front wheel drive and disc brakes on all four wheels. Initially only available as a saloon, from spring 1962 it was also available as a Coupé and from June as a Sport with a Zagato aluminium coachwork. As one of only 101 examples built, this Flavia Sport with its slightly excentric and certainly unique coachwork has been delivered in Switzerland and 1st registered on the 29th of September 1964. The history of the exclusive coupé is not known until, in 2002, it was taken over by the vendor. After some years of happy motoring, he had the coachwork and interior partially restored in 2016/17. At the same time the 1.5-litre boxer engine was checked and the rest of the technical bits have been overhauled as necessary. Since then, the Flavia has only been used sparingly and was parked most of the time in the owner's garage but regularly maintained. Currently this exceedingly rare Lancia is generally in good condition. However, the bodywork is showing signs of corrosion again, which should definitely be looked at before a new MOT. The Flavia Zagato will be sold to a new enthusiast of the famous Turin brand with the last Veteran MOT completed in September 2017. 1954 Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato 1500 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Some cars are lauded for their timeless design- a shape that transcends eras and looks modern and fresh after many decades. The Ferrari Testarossa’s shape would not be considered timeless-instead, it is entirely emblematic of the flamboyant, decadent 1980s and Ferrari’s shot at out-crazying the Lamborghini Countach. When the Testarossa debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1984, it was a sensation- between its wedge styling and the exaggerated side strakes up the side of the vehicle, it looked like nothing else on the road and made the outgoing 512BBi look instantly outdated. Quickly, the Testarossa became the car of the decade-featured in countless movies and TV shows and was owned and driven by nearly every celebrity at the time. Nearly 10,000 Testarossas were produced between 1984 and 1996, making it one of the most popular Ferraris produced to that point. Built in 1990, this Ferrari Testarossa is from the final year of Testarossa production before the company moved to the updated 512TR. Finished in the quintessential Ferrari color scheme of Rosso Corsa over tan leather, it is the ultimate vision of the legendary 1980s poster car. Although the overall design of the car stayed the same between 1984 and 1990, a few notable changes were carried out that ultimately made the cars easier to drive and live with. When the car was first on sale in 1984, they were known as the “flying mirror” variant due to its single side view mirror placed high on the driver’s side A-pillar. This looked absolutely stunning and gave it a real concept car for the road feel, but was not especially useful around town- especially considering the Testarossa’s body got so much wider at the rear, fitting into tight spaces was not a simple task. By 1987, the car gained a second mirror and both were put in the standard location at the front corner of the door glass and A-pillar. Additionally, the early cars all featured motorsport style single bolt, center-lock wheels- they looked fantastic but required an extreme amount of torque to remove and replace and made tire changes exceptionally difficult. In 1988, Ferrari put a more standard 5-lug hub on the car with a similar wheel design which is exhibited on this car. The interior of this Testarossa is optioned with tan and dark brown leather and carpeting throughout. Largely unchanged from the interior of the 1984 car, the cabin is wonderfully airy and open with a large windshield in front of you and small pillars that don’t impede forward visibility. The low slung seats offer plenty of bolstering but are exceptionally comfortable for long drives and hint at the car's grand touring nature. Mechanically, the Testarossa is powered by Ferrari’s famous horizontally-opposed 12-cylinder engine- first experimented with in Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars, it was then developed for road use starting with the 365 GT4 BB in 1973. In Testarossa specification, the engine displaced 5 liters and utilized a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system which provided smooth, linear acceleration throughout the powerband. Producing 385 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, the Testarossa was easily capable of speeds over 180 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. Showing 13,979 miles at the time of cataloging, this car was the recipient of a belt service less than 1,000 miles ago and has also been treated to an upgraded Scuderia Rampante fuse box replacement which gives the car far greater reliability and does away with one of the Testarossa’s most well known issues. Thanks to the updates carried out on this example both by Ferrari at the factory and by previous owners, this is the pinnacle of a user-friendly Testarossa. People make many claims about Testarossas being better to look at than they are to drive, but all it takes is one run through the gears with the flat-12 behind you to realize that is not the case. The car has clearly been well kept and the miles are low, but not so low that you will be afraid to drive the value out of it which makes it a perfect vehicle for a road trip down the coast or to run on your favorite road full of wide-open sweeping corners. 1990 Ferrari Testarossa ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

When the Testarossa debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1984, it was a sensation- between its wedge styling and the exaggerated side strakes up the side of the vehicle, it looked like nothing else on the road and made the outgoing 512BBi look instantly outdated. Quickly, the Testarossa became the car of the decade-featured in countless movies and TV shows and was owned and driven by nearly every celebrity at the time. Nearly 10,000 Testarossas were produced between 1984 and 1996, making it one of the most popular Ferraris produced to that point. Built in 1990, this Ferrari Testarossa is from the final year of Testarossa production before the company moved to the updated 512TR. Finished in the quintessential Ferrari color scheme of Rosso Corsa over tan leather, it is the ultimate vision of the legendary 1980s poster car. Although the overall design of the car stayed the same between 1984 and 1990, a few notable changes were carried out that ultimately made the cars easier to drive and live with. When the car was first on sale in 1984, they were known as the “flying mirror” variant due to its single side view mirror placed high on the driver’s side A-pillar. This looked absolutely stunning and gave it a real concept car for the road feel, but was not especially useful around town- especially considering the Testarossa’s body got so much wider at the rear, fitting into tight spaces was not a simple task. By 1987, the car gained a second mirror and both were put in the standard location at the front corner of the door glass and A-pillar. Additionally, the early cars all featured motorsport style single bolt, center-lock wheels- they looked fantastic but required an extreme amount of torque to remove and replace and made tire changes exceptionally difficult. In 1988, Ferrari put a more standard 5-lug hub on the car with a similar wheel design which is exhibited on this car. The interior of this Testarossa is optioned with tan and dark brown leather and carpeting throughout. Largely unchanged from the interior of the 1984 car, the cabin is wonderfully airy and open with a large windshield in front of you and small pillars that don’t impede forward visibility. The low slung seats offer plenty of bolstering but are exceptionally comfortable for long drives and hint at the car's grand touring nature. Mechanically, the Testarossa is powered by Ferrari’s famous horizontally-opposed 12-cylinder engine- first experimented with in Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars, it was then developed for road use starting with the 365 GT4 BB in 1973. In Testarossa specification, the engine displaced 5 liters and utilized a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system which provided smooth, linear acceleration throughout the powerband. Producing 385 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, the Testarossa was easily capable of speeds over 180 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. Showing 13,979 miles at the time of cataloging, this car was the recipient of a belt service less than 1,000 miles ago and has also been treated to an upgraded Scuderia Rampante fuse box replacement which gives the car far greater reliability and does away with one of the Testarossa’s most well known issues. Thanks to the updates carried out on this example both by Ferrari at the factory and by previous owners, this is the pinnacle of a user-friendly Testarossa. People make many claims about Testarossas being better to look at than they are to drive, but all it takes is one run through the gears with the flat-12 behind you to realize that is not the case. The car has clearly been well kept and the miles are low, but not so low that you will be afraid to drive the value out of it which makes it a perfect vehicle for a road trip down the coast or to run on your favorite road full of wide-open sweeping corners.

That most golden of eras Sure, Group C was a mind-bending kaleidoscope of colour and speed. And yes, GT1 was a formula which quite rightly deserves the renaissance it’s currently enjoying. But there’s really only one winner when it comes to sports-car racing’s most dramatic, dangerous and downright sexy of eras and that’s Group 5 of 1970 and 1971. Duking it out for glory in the fiercely contested World Sportscar Championship were the likes of Jacky Ickx, Jo Siffert, Brian Redman, ‘Quick Vic’ Elford and the brothers Rodríguez. These charismatic men were not just racing drivers, they were gladiators. Each and every time they buckled into their furious Group 5 prototypes – with socking-great five-litre engines behind, vast fuel tanks either side and tubular chassis ahead – they risked their lives for glory. The Ferrari 512 – the Porsche hunter There are, of course, two cars most closely associated with the halcyon Group 5 years: the Porsche 917 and the Ferrari 512. To say there was no love lost between Maranello and Stuttgart would be an understatement-and-a-half. This was all-out war, waged between the most advanced automotive weapons in the world. Ferrari’s bespectacled chief engineer Mauro Forghieri pulled off something of a miracle with the 512 S. When Porsche introduced its 917 in 1969 and, with it, its serious intentions to dominate Group 5, all that stood between Enzo Ferrari and the retention of his company’s pride on the world stage was a hefty injection of funding and 25 cars to present to the FIA and satisfy the minimum production requirements to race. A sacrifice was needed and a sacrifice was made – Il Commendatore committed to sell half of his precious company to Fiat, thus awarding Forghieri with the cash to get to work on the new prototype and a challenging five-month timeframe with which to finish it. “To say there was no love lost between Maranello and Stuttgart would be an understatement-and-a-half. This was all-out war, waged between the most advanced automotive weapons in the world.” Naturally, he and his crack team of engineers rose to the challenge. Ahead of the 1970 World Sportscar Championship curtain-raiser at Daytona in late January, Ferrari presented the required 25 512 Ss to the FIA in Maranello – 17 complete cars perfectly parked side by side and eight ready-to-assemble kits. The Porsche 917 was a great looking car. But the Ferrari 512 S made even it look frumpy. The soft-cornered and sculpted soap-bar body was the work of ingegnere Giacomo Caliri and crafted for the first time from glass-fibre. It tightly hugged a lightweight tubular chassis, itself cradling a five-litre V12 engine derived from the 612 Can-Am car with four valves per cylinder and which produced 550HP. The sound that emanates from said engine can only be as ungodly. The Ferrari 512 Modificata The rate of development in the endurance racing arena in the early 1970s was nothing short of staggering and, ahead of its second year of competition in 1971, Ferrari introduced the evolved 512 M, the M denoting Modificata. Only around 15 of the 25 512 Ss were upgraded to M specification, a radical transformation centred predominantly around the closed coupé glass-fibre bodywork, which was drastically reworked in the wind tunnel at Stuttgart University. That the angular new frock and stark Kamm tail was more than a little reminiscent of the Porsche 917 K was perhaps of little surprise given the Germans’ performance throughout the 1970 season. The relocation of the spare wheel from the nose to the tail meant a more efficient oil radiator could be mounted in its place, along with improved cooling ducts for the front brakes. The suspension – more specifically the geometry and uprights – were entirely revised, accommodating wider wheels with larger brakes. And the cylinder heads, cylinder liners, valves and camshafts of the five-litre V12 were upgraded, resulting in an ample power increase from 550bhp to 610bhp at an ungodly 9,000rpm. From an engineering standpoint, the goal for the 512 M was also to reduce weight. We reckon that the ingegneri in Maranello would have been pretty pleased with the 41kg they managed to shave from the 512 S. Especially when Jacky Ickx debuted the new car at Zeltweg and smashed the Formula 1 lap record he’d set just a few weeks prior. It goes without saying the 512 M was a drastically improved competition car, although for the privateer outfit the cost was perhaps prohibitive. The revised tail section alone carried a princely price tag of 2.5m Italian lire! Chassis number 1024 Have you seen the grainy photo of the 25 box-fresh 512 Ss lined up at the Ferrari factory in January of 1970, awaiting inspection by the FIA? It’s often circulating on social media, reshared by those popular ‘period-correct’ accounts. The example Girardo & Co. is privileged to be offering is one of those cars pictured, more specifically chassis number 1024. Chassis number 1024 remained with the Works, unused, until April of 1971, by which point it had been upgraded to full Modificata specification. The owner of the Italian privateer racing outfit Scuderia Brescia Corse, Dr. Alfredo Belponer, acquired this 512 new, as evidenced by the Ferrari factory invoice, numbered 1068/71. In addition to the car, priced at a princely 27m Italian lire, Belponer also bought 15m-lire’s worth of spare parts and tyres totaling 4m lire. While he maintained a low-profile in his day-to-day life, Dr. Belponer was a familiar face to Italy’s supercar concessionaires. By 1971, his collection already housed such great cars as a Ferrari 250 GTO, Aston Martin DB5 and Maserati Ghibli Spyder. The 512 M was the proverbial cherry on the cake. “In addition to the car, priced at a princely 27m Italian lire, Belponer also bought 15m-lire’s worth of spare parts and tyres totaling 4m lire.” Chassis 1024 made its competitive debut under the Scuderia Brescia Corse banner in the 1,000km di Monza on 25 April – round five of the 1971 FIA World Sportscar Championship. Marsilio Pasotti, more commonly known by his pseudonym ‘Pam’, was assigned as the lead driver. Born in the Brescian town of Lumezzane in 1939, Pasotti began his motorsport career in the late-1950s, quickly establishing a strong reputation with his deft displays in small Abarth-engined Fiats 850s. Since a second driver was required for the Monza race, Belponer enlisted one Carlo Facetti, the legendary Italian engineer and racing driver. A former factory driver for both Alfa Romeo and Lancia, Facetti won the European Touring Car Championship in 1979 and the Stratos Turbo Group V he designed for the Lancia Works team took outright victory in the 1976 Giro d’Italia. The promising partnership of Pasotti and Facetti quickly bore fruit in qualifying, when a time of 1min40.280sec was good for 14th overall on the grid. Alas, for reasons unknown, chassis 1024 did not take the start of the race. A staggering 70,000 spectators descended on the Autodromo Dino Ferrari in Imola a few weeks later for the Coppa di Shell, the first round of that year’s Interserie Championship. The formula had been conceived the previous year, touted as Europe’s answer to the fiercely competitive Can-Am series in the United States. In the Scuderia Brescia Corse Ferrari 512 M, ‘Pam’ was one of 22 starters including a Works-entered Ferrari 512 M driven by Arturo Merzario. Two 30-lap heats preceded a 60-lap finale, for which Pasotti qualified chassis 1024 seventh overall. This time around the car did take the start, although transmission niggles put paid to progress three-quarters of the way through. The next round took place at Zolder in Belgium a month later, where chassis 1024 was the only Ferrari listed on the entry list. Top-ten finishes in both heats meant a twelfth-place start for the finale – a position Pasotti duly converted, crossing the line an impressive eighth overall. The penultimate round of the 1971 World Sportscar Championship, the Zeltweg 1,000km, took place at the Österreichring in July. Once again, ‘Pam’ required a co-driver and Dr. Belponer had just the man in mind: Mario Casoni. Over the course of his career, there was hardly a great sports-racing car Casoni didn’t pilot. Ferrari 250 LM, Ford GT40, Porsche 917, Lancia Beta Montecarlo. Casoni raced them all, accruing no fewer than eight outright victories before he hung up his helmet in the 1980s. In the top-flight five-litre category, chassis 1024 was part of a quadruplet of Ferrari 512 Ss looking to beat the five Porsche 917 Ks in attendance. Friday and Saturday’s qualifying sessions were bountiful for Scuderia Brescia Corse, with chassis 1024 lining up 12th. At 170 laps, it was a long race, the war of attrition made considerably worse by drizzle, cold temperatures and dense fog hung low in the Swabian hills. “‘Pam’ and Casoni finished the race a spectacular second in class and fourth overall. For a privateer effort in a world-championship endurance event and against the might of several factory teams, it was a truly stellar result.” Amazingly, ‘Pam’ and Casoni both seemed to revel in the inclement conditions, grabbing their brute of a Ferrari by the scruff of the neck and finishing the race a spectacular second in class and fourth overall. For a privateer effort in a world-championship endurance event and against the might of several factory teams, it was a truly stellar result. The 200 Meilen von Nürburg beckoned next for chassis number 1024. On the gnarly high-speed streets of the Norisring, consistency proved to be key for ‘Pam’ and the Ferrari 512 M. Two sixths and a fifth read the headline in Monday’s newspapers, chassis 1024 crossing the line once again as the first Ferrari home. For most people, an enforced summer break means a week spent on a beach or a golf course. For Dr. Belponer, it meant taking chassis 1024 to the Trofeo Valle Camonica – Malegno – Borno hill-climb, a small domestic event in which the 512 M destroyed the competition to win outright. Two rounds of the 1971 Interserie Championship remained: another at Imola and a curtain-closer at Hockenheim in Germany. Pam finished both finales in eighth, concluding what was a successful year in a highly competitive series. This Ferrari 512 M concluded its period competition career at the 1,000km de Paris- the 14th and final round of the 1971 Championnat de France des Circuits. Just as he had for every one of chassis 1024’s preceding outings, Marsilio Pasotti took the wheel, joined for the second time by Mario Casoni. Despite qualifying an impressive seventh, the pair was forced into retirement. Dr. Belponer’s Scuderia Brescia Corse outfit was a popular staple of the paddock for many years and the consistent results scored by ‘Pam’ and this 512 M was indicative of its serious intentions. Chassis number 1024 was honourably retired at the end of 1971. Belponer kept hold of the car for two more years, selling to the West Coast of America in 1974. It didn’t stay across the pond for long – by 1975, the Ferrari had been acquired by Dr. Jean Aussenac in Paris. Aussenac was not afraid to use this 512 M as intended, exhibiting it at a number of Club Ferrari France meetings at the famous Mas du Clos racetrack in Saint-Avit-de-Tardes. Fellow Parisian and decorated French comic-book artist Albert Uderzo became chassis 1024’s next custodian in 1981. He continued to share the car throughout his 16-year tenure as owner, including at Ferrari’s 40th-anniversary celebrations at Spa-Francorchamps in 1987. This Ferrari made the journey back across the Atlantic in 1997, briefly joining the collection of Charles Arnott, before being bought by Ed and Leslie Davies in Florida. The Davies are among the world’s foremost Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors, having owned all manner of historically-significant Prancing Horses, from 250 GTO and 250 Testa Rossa to both long- and short-wheelbase 250 California Spyders. “As one of the first big cars we consigned to the Leggenda e Passione auction, there was so much excitement about it internally. None of us were surprised when chassis 1024 garnered a really strong price that day.” Max Girardo Chassis 1024 became a regular fixture at Ferrari Historic Challenge rounds across the world at the dawn of the New Millennium, and even featured in several issues of Cavallino magazine – America’s premier publication devoted to the Prancing Horse. It was during the Davies’ ownership that chassis 1024 was submitted for – and duly received – Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming the engine and gearbox to be the originals. In 2008, RM Auctions staged its momentous Leggenda e Passione sale at the Ferrari factory in Maranello, comprising a mouth-watering collection of Ferrari automobilia and cars. Our very own Max Girardo was the auctioneer on the rostrum that day when lot number 317, this 1970 Ferrari 512 M, crossed the block. “I distinctly remember the atmosphere that day at Fiorano was electric and there was a collective intake of breath when the 512 S was called to the block,” Max recalls. “The car had been the star of our single-car Salon Rétromobile earlier that year and I recall the extraordinary amount of interest we generated in Paris. As one of the first big cars we consigned to that sale, there was so much excitement about it internally. None of us were surprised when chassis 1024 garnered a really strong price that day.” The American banking magnate and classic car collector Harry Yeaggy was the winning bidder, though it wasn’t long before it changed hands once again, winding up in the stable of its penultimate owner, Steven Read, in California, alongside such special Ferrari competition cars as a 312 PB and a 250 LM. Keen to experience the rush of driving a five-litre V12-powered Ferrari sports-racing prototype at racing speeds, Read acquired a FIA Historic Technical Passport for chassis 1024 and entrusted Tim Samways’ Sporting & Historic Car Engineers outfit in the United Kingdom with fastidiously preparing it for historic motorsport. To preserve the precious original powerplant, a facsimile was commissioned with Ferrari engine specialist Roelofs Engineering in the Netherlands. Over the course of the next six years, this Ferrari competed at a raft of prestigious events across the world, including the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca and the Le Mans Classic. In 2021, for the second time, Max had the distinct pleasure of finding a new home for chassis 1024 – this time the car returning to Europe, where it remained on display in an exquisite collection until the spring of 2023. Closing statements It doesn’t require much to understand how many strings this Ferrari 512 M counts on its bow. Of the 25 Ferrari 512s produced, very few can boast of having never been heavily damaged in the period and an entirely traceable and fully documented history. The generous history file which accompanies chassis 1024 is unlike any other we’ve seen for a Ferrari of this ilk. In addition to copies of the original sales invoice, factory certificate of origin and homologation papers, there’s the original French title from 1982, a wealth of extraordinary high-resolution colour and black-and-white period images spanning its entire competition career, and copies of the myriad magazines in which chassis 1024 has featured. “Of the 25 Ferrari 512s produced, very few can boast of having never been heavily damaged in the period and an entirely traceable and fully documented history.” What’s more, there is the all-important report issued by the acclaimed Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, verifying the car’s provenance. And countless invoices attesting the exhaustive maintenance and preparation this Ferrari has enjoyed, especially in more recent years. Furthermore, chassis 1024’s period competition history shines, having been campaigned by one of the most famous European privateer outfits, Scuderia Brescia Corse, in endurance motorsport’s top-flight global series. The fact this car retains its original matching-numbers chassis, engine and gearbox, as evidenced by its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification binder, is the proverbial cherry on the cake. It also goes without saying that this 512 M is a car which is highly eligible for the world’s most prestigious historic motoring events, from automotive beauty pageants including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to race meetings such as the Le Mans Classic and the HSR Classic 24 Hour at Daytona. Provenance is everything for any historic competition car, let alone a sports-racing prototype from the halcyon Group 5 era of the early 1970s. Suffice to say, chassis 1024 has it in spades. 1970 Ferrari 512 M Group 5 Girardo & Co. Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In the Scuderia Brescia Corse Ferrari 512 M, ‘Pam’ was one of 22 starters including a Works-entered Ferrari 512 M driven by Arturo Merzario. Two 30-lap heats preceded a 60-lap finale, for which Pasotti qualified chassis 1024 seventh overall. This time around the car did take the start, although transmission niggles put paid to progress three-quarters of the way through. The next round took place at Zolder in Belgium a month later, where chassis 1024 was the only Ferrari listed on the entry list. Top-ten finishes in both heats meant a twelfth-place start for the finale – a position Pasotti duly converted, crossing the line an impressive eighth overall. The penultimate round of the 1971 World Sportscar Championship, the Zeltweg 1,000km, took place at the Österreichring in July. Once again, ‘Pam’ required a co-driver and Dr. Belponer had just the man in mind: Mario Casoni. Over the course of his career, there was hardly a great sports-racing car Casoni didn’t pilot. Ferrari 250 LM, Ford GT40, Porsche 917, Lancia Beta Montecarlo. Casoni raced them all, accruing no fewer than eight outright victories before he hung up his helmet in the 1980s. In the top-flight five-litre category, chassis 1024 was part of a quadruplet of Ferrari 512 Ss looking to beat the five Porsche 917 Ks in attendance. Friday and Saturday’s qualifying sessions were bountiful for Scuderia Brescia Corse, with chassis 1024 lining up 12th. At 170 laps, it was a long race, the war of attrition made considerably worse by drizzle, cold temperatures and dense fog hung low in the Swabian hills. “‘Pam’ and Casoni finished the race a spectacular second in class and fourth overall. For a privateer effort in a world-championship endurance event and against the might of several factory teams, it was a truly stellar result.” Amazingly, ‘Pam’ and Casoni both seemed to revel in the inclement conditions, grabbing their brute of a Ferrari by the scruff of the neck and finishing the race a spectacular second in class and fourth overall. For a privateer effort in a world-championship endurance event and against the might of several factory teams, it was a truly stellar result. The 200 Meilen von Nürburg beckoned next for chassis number 1024. On the gnarly high-speed streets of the Norisring, consistency proved to be key for ‘Pam’ and the Ferrari 512 M. Two sixths and a fifth read the headline in Monday’s newspapers, chassis 1024 crossing the line once again as the first Ferrari home. For most people, an enforced summer break means a week spent on a beach or a golf course. For Dr. Belponer, it meant taking chassis 1024 to the Trofeo Valle Camonica – Malegno – Borno hill-climb, a small domestic event in which the 512 M destroyed the competition to win outright. Two rounds of the 1971 Interserie Championship remained: another at Imola and a curtain-closer at Hockenheim in Germany. Pam finished both finales in eighth, concluding what was a successful year in a highly competitive series. This Ferrari 512 M concluded its period competition career at the 1,000km de Paris- the 14th and final round of the 1971 Championnat de France des Circuits. Just as he had for every one of chassis 1024’s preceding outings, Marsilio Pasotti took the wheel, joined for the second time by Mario Casoni. Despite qualifying an impressive seventh, the pair was forced into retirement. Dr. Belponer’s Scuderia Brescia Corse outfit was a popular staple of the paddock for many years and the consistent results scored by ‘Pam’ and this 512 M was indicative of its serious intentions. Chassis number 1024 was honourably retired at the end of 1971. Belponer kept hold of the car for two more years, selling to the West Coast of America in 1974. It didn’t stay across the pond for long – by 1975, the Ferrari had been acquired by Dr. Jean Aussenac in Paris. Aussenac was not afraid to use this 512 M as intended, exhibiting it at a number of Club Ferrari France meetings at the famous Mas du Clos racetrack in Saint-Avit-de-Tardes. Fellow Parisian and decorated French comic-book artist Albert Uderzo became chassis 1024’s next custodian in 1981. He continued to share the car throughout his 16-year tenure as owner, including at Ferrari’s 40th-anniversary celebrations at Spa-Francorchamps in 1987. This Ferrari made the journey back across the Atlantic in 1997, briefly joining the collection of Charles Arnott, before being bought by Ed and Leslie Davies in Florida. The Davies are among the world’s foremost Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors, having owned all manner of historically-significant Prancing Horses, from 250 GTO and 250 Testa Rossa to both long- and short-wheelbase 250 California Spyders. “As one of the first big cars we consigned to the Leggenda e Passione auction, there was so much excitement about it internally. None of us were surprised when chassis 1024 garnered a really strong price that day.” Max Girardo Chassis 1024 became a regular fixture at Ferrari Historic Challenge rounds across the world at the dawn of the New Millennium, and even featured in several issues of Cavallino magazine – America’s premier publication devoted to the Prancing Horse. It was during the Davies’ ownership that chassis 1024 was submitted for – and duly received – Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming the engine and gearbox to be the originals. In 2008, RM Auctions staged its momentous Leggenda e Passione sale at the Ferrari factory in Maranello, comprising a mouth-watering collection of Ferrari automobilia and cars. Our very own Max Girardo was the auctioneer on the rostrum that day when lot number 317, this 1970 Ferrari 512 M, crossed the block. “I distinctly remember the atmosphere that day at Fiorano was electric and there was a collective intake of breath when the 512 S was called to the block,” Max recalls. “The car had been the star of our single-car Salon Rétromobile earlier that year and I recall the extraordinary amount of interest we generated in Paris. As one of the first big cars we consigned to that sale, there was so much excitement about it internally. None of us were surprised when chassis 1024 garnered a really strong price that day.” The American banking magnate and classic car collector Harry Yeaggy was the winning bidder, though it wasn’t long before it changed hands once again, winding up in the stable of its penultimate owner, Steven Read, in California, alongside such special Ferrari competition cars as a 312 PB and a 250 LM. Keen to experience the rush of driving a five-litre V12-powered Ferrari sports-racing prototype at racing speeds, Read acquired a FIA Historic Technical Passport for chassis 1024 and entrusted Tim Samways’ Sporting & Historic Car Engineers outfit in the United Kingdom with fastidiously preparing it for historic motorsport. To preserve the precious original powerplant, a facsimile was commissioned with Ferrari engine specialist Roelofs Engineering in the Netherlands. Over the course of the next six years, this Ferrari competed at a raft of prestigious events across the world, including the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca and the Le Mans Classic. In 2021, for the second time, Max had the distinct pleasure of finding a new home for chassis 1024 – this time the car returning to Europe, where it remained on display in an exquisite collection until the spring of 2023. Closing statements It doesn’t require much to understand how many strings this Ferrari 512 M counts on its bow. Of the 25 Ferrari 512s produced, very few can boast of having never been heavily damaged in the period and an entirely traceable and fully documented history. The generous history file which accompanies chassis 1024 is unlike any other we’ve seen for a Ferrari of this ilk. In addition to copies of the original sales invoice, factory certificate of origin and homologation papers, there’s the original French title from 1982, a wealth of extraordinary high-resolution colour and black-and-white period images spanning its entire competition career, and copies of the myriad magazines in which chassis 1024 has featured. “Of the 25 Ferrari 512s produced, very few can boast of having never been heavily damaged in the period and an entirely traceable and fully documented history.” What’s more, there is the all-important report issued by the acclaimed Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, verifying the car’s provenance. And countless invoices attesting the exhaustive maintenance and preparation this Ferrari has enjoyed, especially in more recent years. Furthermore, chassis 1024’s period competition history shines, having been campaigned by one of the most famous European privateer outfits, Scuderia Brescia Corse, in endurance motorsport’s top-flight global series. The fact this car retains its original matching-numbers chassis, engine and gearbox, as evidenced by its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification binder, is the proverbial cherry on the cake. It also goes without saying that this 512 M is a car which is highly eligible for the world’s most prestigious historic motoring events, from automotive beauty pageants including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to race meetings such as the Le Mans Classic and the HSR Classic 24 Hour at Daytona. Provenance is everything for any historic competition car, let alone a sports-racing prototype from the halcyon Group 5 era of the early 1970s. Suffice to say, chassis 1024 has it in spades.

Lamborghini’s first production car, the 350 GT, was the brainchild of two of Italy’s most illustrious automotive luminaries. With an engine designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, fresh from Ferrari, and a chassis engineered by Gian Paolo Dallara, the 350 GT needed only Touring’s Superleggera bodywork to be worthy of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s vision. When the production-spec 350 GT debuted at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1964, it was to great acclaim. In all, it is thought that around 120 examples of the 350 GT were built before the model was succeeded by the 400 GT 2+2 in 1966. This 350 GT was among the special early examples fitted with aluminum bodywork. It is said to be the 12th Lamborghini ever built and first two-seater 350 GT. Sold new to Garage Foitek in Zurich on 15 January 1965, chassis 0114 was finished in Blue Tigullio over a Senape leather interior. In 1974 it was exported to the United States, where it would stay with its next owner for two years. Richard Rechter of Bloomington, Indiana, then acquired the 350 GT, and he would remain its custodian for 43 years, after which the car entered the collection of Jean Guikas. The car received a cosmetic and mechanical overhaul from 2017 to 2019, with invoices on file from Automotive FantomWorks in Norfolk, Virginia totalling nearly $90,000. For driver comfort, the seats were rebuilt, re-covered, and moved rearward by two-and-a-quarter inches. The engine was removed and resealed, and the cylinder heads rebuilt with new guides, seats, timing chains, and valves, with work also carried out on the carburetors and suspension. Acquired by the consignor from the Guikas collection in 2021, the 350 GT has been refurbished to the highest possible standard by the current owner, a longtime Lamborghini collector with Italian roots, whose family has restored various significant Lamborghinis over the years, and which claims to own one of the first Espadas produced, said to have been delivered to them by Ferrucio Lamborghini himself in 1968. In 2022, the consignor shipped the car to Italy to be fully stripped and repainted in its factory-correct color of Blue Tigullio by the same expert craftsmen who do work for Lamborghini Polo Storico, the automaker’s inhouse classic center. Other cosmetic components and details were also refurbished to factory specifications, including the chrome and trunk carpeting. In 2023, marque experts performed further mechanical work to bring the engine up to pristine condition and excellent working order. Service invoices totaling around €73,000 are available for review. Given its rare aluminum bodywork, known history, and superb condition resulting from the obsessive care of its meticulous owners past and present, this stunning 350 GT is undoubtedly among the finest in the world, ready to be fully enjoyed and continually cherished. 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Ferrari F50 is widely considered to be one of Maranello’s most expressive modern hypercars, combining 1950s-style aesthetics with competition-developed performance technologies. Starting with a lightweight carbon fiber tub, Pininfarina mounted curvaceous new coachwork molded from carbon fiber, Kevlar, and Nomex honeycomb. The cockpit could be completed with either a removable soft top or a separate hard top stored in an accompanying road case, which allowed the F50 to strike the pose of a barchetta or berlinetta, encapsulating the best of both worlds. A new naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V-12 was dropped into this spectacular marriage of body and chassis in a mid-rear architecture that ensured optimal weight distribution. The type F130B engine began life in Ferrari’s 1992 Formula One car before undergoing further development in the 4-liter 333 SP sports car, which won numerous driver’s and constructor’s championships in IMSA GT and FIA sports car racing. With an enlarged displacement of 4.7 liters and yet detuned for more reasonable revving and tractable road manners, the new high-compression V-12 developed 513 horsepower and 347 pound-feet of torque, capable of launching the F50 to 60 mph from standstill in just 3.6 seconds, while achieving a top speed of 202 mph. Stopping power was provided by Brembo brakes with huge rotors (14 inches in front and 13.2 inches at the rear) anchored by aluminum pistons. Although the F50 abounded in Formula One-specification equipment, from the racing-style fuel bladder to the LCD dashboard instruments, the model was still appointed with creature comforts such as leather-trimmed seats, air conditioning, and adjustable ride height. More refined than the brutal F40, yet not as cossetting as contemporaries such as the McLaren F1, the F50 was a difficult car to pigeonhole; this was a machine built for pure experience, rather than the pursuit of any specific, granular performance benchmark. Writing for their June 1996 issue, the editors of Motor Trend summed up the F50 thusly: “All but devoid of body roll and pitch, the F50 has the immediate feel of a full-race go-kart, with not a gram of fat in its physique-just sinewy, instantaneous response. This power-hungry Ferrari gives its lucky driver a sense of Master-of-the-Universe-type control. Total omnipotence-without an in-depth background check. Cool.” Built from 1995 through 1997, the breathtaking F50 was earmarked for an official production cap of only 349 examples, ensuring a rarity that instantly established the model as a bona fide collectible. The F50 remains a favorite of marque-focused collectors, often serving as the centerpiece of modern Ferrari collections, and as a critical component of the illustrious “Big Five” hypercar portfolio that is relished by dedicated Maranello enthusiasts today. AN F50 IN MONACO This fabulous F50 claims fastidious single ownership by a Monaco-based collector for 13 years prior to a period of care by one of the world’s foremost Ferrari specialists, resulting in a highly desirable example. As confirmed by its production plate, chassis number 106400 is the 182nd example built, and in July 1996 the car was issued a manufacturer’s certificate of origin (a copy of which is on file). According to a deep file of documentation that includes former registrations, bills of sale, a Marcel Massini history report, and a Ferrari Classiche Red Book and corresponding Certificate of Authenticity, this beautiful European-specification F50 completed assembly in July 1996, finished in Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior with red seat inserts. Retailed through the well-known preferred distributor Garage Francorchamps in Belgium, the Ferrari was immediately sold to a local enthusiast who relocated to Monaco in 1999. Over the following nine years the car was regularly serviced by marque dealer Groupe Cavallari’s respected Monaco Motors. In early 2010 the owner sold the F50 to DK Engineering, the highly respected Ferrari specialist in the UK, and DK continued to intermittently service the car over the next four years. In January 2015 the Ferrari was sold to the consignor, who became the car’s fourth private owner. Six months later, the F50 was issued a Red Book from Ferrari Classiche that authenticates the continued presence of the matching-numbers chassis, engine, and transaxle, as well as its original body, ensuring that this F50 retains a high degree of originality. Offered from nearly 10 years of consistent care within the Dare to Dream Collection, chassis number 106400 displayed 20,910 kilometers (~12,993 miles) at time of cataloguing, and it is desirably accompanied by the soft top in the proper canvas bag, factory-issued flight case for the hard top, and owner’s manuals. This beautifully presented, mid-production F50 would make an exquisite addition to any sporting collection, particularly suited to collectors pining to fill a gap in their assemblage of Ferrari’s lauded “Big Five” modern hypercars. 1996 Ferrari F50 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A far cry from the 911 Classic by Singer, the DLS or ‘Dynamic Lightweighting Study’ take a more holistic approach to improving every element of the iconic 911. Where as the Classic sought to deliver the ultimate overall experience of a 911, embodied in an understated – but still carbon fibre bodyshell, the DLS project set out to understand, embrace and accentuate each of the intricacies that are unique to the Porsche 911. Far from intending to deliver a modern driving experience, the DLS is still very true to its origins. A hands-on, analogue interface, with a manual gearbox and race-oriented 4.0 naturally-aspirated flat 6 developed by Williams Advanced Engineering. Consulting the likes of legendary Porsche engineers Hans Mezger and Norbert Singer during the development phase, Singer and Williams have worked in unison to heavily fettle the air-cooled powerplant. In production trim, it now offers around 500hp with a rev limiter coming in at 9,300rpm. With the engine starting life as the standard 964 3.6 litre, works were carried out to revise almost every moving part. Titanium con-rods, aluminium throttle bodies, carbon intake trumpets, a bespoke carbon airbox, fuel injectors with twin injectors and a ram-air induction system fed by inlets in the iconic rear ¾ windows that keeps the profile so pure and true to the classic 911 style. If somehow you’ve dismissed this car so far, the startup of the Inconel and titanium exhaust will serve an overdue wake up call. This example was completed in early July 2023 and was seen for the first time in public at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024. It has since been carefully stored and today presents as expected with delivery mileage. This example is optioned in the out of range, Paint to Sample, Piano Black with a wealth of exterior carbon fibre and select Gold highlights both inside and out. 1986 Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer D.K.

THE ULTIMATE COLLABORATION In the pursuits of mankind, be it in the milieu of art, sport, or commerce, there have occasionally transpired collaborative moments that seem to transcend the limitations of reality. This widely understood phenomenon of a product that somehow exceeds the sum of its parts may be an aberration of our sense of simple arithmetic, but we have undoubtedly witnessed it nevertheless. Think of those nearly magical moments when two agents, each of outstanding individual merit in its own right, combine to forge something that wildly succeeds beyond anyone’s imagination. Think Paul and John; Magic and Kareem; Nike and MJ. In each of these examples, two individual forces combined to result in a product so special that it evolved into a legitimate cultural moment before flirting with the status of legend. In the automotive realm, there may be no better embodiment of this concept than Maserati and Zagato during the early 1950s; one a racing powerhouse aspiring to road car legitimacy, the other a design concern on the cusp of its most expressive and timeless sculptures. The ultimate result of this iconic collaboration was none other than the peak of form and function; a model so brutally effective in competition it hardly dared to be so voluptuous, and a car so achingly beautiful to look at it was barely to be believed it could be so fast and agile—the Maserati A6G/54 Spyder with coachwork by Zagato. For within this noteworthy competition-proven model, which was bodied by Zagato as a racing berlinetta, the engineers of Modena advanced the ultimate development of the A6G sports-racing platform, while the stylists at the Milanese coachbuilder penned one of their most celebrated designs. Yet as powerful, beautiful, and rare as the closed berlinetta version of the A6G/54 was, the model was actually inaugurated with an example even more special, the featured lot, and the only open-bodied example built; chassis number 2101. The A6G/54 was initially introduced at the 1954 Turin Motor show with a prototype built on chassis number 2063 that wore 2+2 coupe coachwork by Frua. As a roadgoing development of the A6GCS/53 barchetta sports-racers, the new model’s advanced dual-overhead cam engine was now detuned for street use with chain-driven timing gear and wet sump lubrication. Following the Frua-bodied show car, Maserati commenced a new numbering sequence for the model that began with chassis number 2101, the featured Spyder. Ultimately limited to a modest batch of 60 total examples, the A6G/54 chassis output was divided among three coachbuilders, with a Michelotti-designed coupe built by Allemano accounting for approximately 21 cars, open and closed versions by Frua reaching 18 cars, and the Zagato examples making up the balance of 21 cars. Zagato’s version is overwhelmingly preferred by many sporting enthusiasts for its aerodynamic, curvaceous styling, which was executed in aluminum alloy for optimal weight savings and competition advantage. While the cars by Allemano and Frua were positioned more as luxurious grand tourers, the Zagato cars were just as assuredly racing machines, with their lightweight coachwork and more spartan interior arrangements. Yet as thrilling as the racing berlinettas are, the sole open Spyder teases a glimpse of so much more… UNREALIZED TIMELINES – FROM PARIS TO LA PAMPA A research report by marque authority Adolfo Orsi commissioned by the most recent owner adds considerable insight to past anecdotal accounts that chassis number 2101 may have been originally ordered by Juan Perón, the famed postwar Argentinian presidential strongman and world-renowned sports car enthusiast. While no “smoking gun” document has yet surfaced that unequivocally demonstrates Peron’s connection to the car, Orsi lays out a convincing field of circumstantial evidence that lends considerable weight to the claim. According to Orsi’s research of factory archives, the Spyder was dispatched from Maserati to Zagato for coachwork on November 18, 1954, with a note near the customer field that read “Argentina”. This clue that the A6G/54 was slated for ownership by Perón was later indirectly confirmed by a 1961 piece of correspondence from the factory. There is little doubt that the runaway successes of Argentine national Juan Manuel Fangio on auto racing’s biggest stage greatly invigorated the appreciation of motorsports and automotive culture in his homeland. Having already won one world championship for Alfa Romeo in 1951, Fangio was frequently racing for Maserati during 1953 and early 1954, serving as a link between the automaker and President Perón that would pave the way for the import of industrial machinery made by Modena’s subsidiaries. Chassis number 2101 might well have been delivered to its Argentine buyer had not politics exploded in a different direction. By early 1955, Perón had begun to fall out of public favor, and this overwhelming national sentiment soon surged into a full-on popular revolt that resulted in the strongman’s exile. This remarkable turn of events had a silver lining, of course; with the Spyder remaining in its possession, Maserati had retained an ideal flagship to show off during the upcoming season of auto salons. Photographic evidence demonstrates the gradual aesthetic evolution of chassis number 2101 during its first few years. A picture of the Spyder taken at the Zagato plant during the winter of 1954 to 1955 shows it fitted with a split windscreen that extended to the far edges of the body, and an outsized and stylized Trident ornament on the grille that was notably missing its vertical base. Also featuring an unvented flat hood, foglamps, and unvented front fenders, the car was equipped with Borrani wire wheels and finished in Blu Algido Scuro (Dark Ice Blue) paint. Photos taken a few months later in early 1955 show the windshield in the same basic shape, but now as a single pane of glass without a dividing spine, while the front fascia has been fitted with a wire mesh grille, over which the unconventional Trident ornament was completed with the base limb. In this appearance, the A6G/54 made its first public appearance at the Geneva Salon in March 1955, where it was beautifully flanked by an A6GCS/53 race car, encapsulating the company’s finest offerings for both grand touring and sports-racing applications. After receiving rave reviews from onlookers and the automotive press, and with delivery to Perón most likely in a very doubtful state by this time, chassis number 2101 was returned to the Maserati factory, where it would undergo further adjustments. Nineteen months later 2101 was presented again, this time at the 1956 Paris Salon on the stand of Thepanier, the official Maserati importer to France. As evidenced by period media coverage of the show, by this time the A6G/54 was fitted with several key details that defined its final lasting configuration, including a smaller curved one-piece wraparound windscreen, a new hood with a raised engine intake scoop, elegantly vented front fenders, and a new grille ornament consisting of a more standard Trident badge. Following the show’s conclusion, 2101 was returned to the factory again and remained there in storage until April 1959. NEW HORIZONS – A JOURNEY INTO AMERICAN OWNERSHIP Issued a certificate of origin in December 1958, the A6G/54 was earmarked for customer availability and soon sold to Louis W. Schroeder, an American diplomat working at the US embassy in Paris. A few months after taking delivery of the Spyder in April 1959, Mr. Schroeder drove the Maserati to La Sarthe to watch the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he was undoubtedly delighted by fellow countryman Carroll Shelby’s victory with the Aston Martin team. In April 1960 Schroeder sold the Maserati to Sherrod Santos, a US Air Force lieutenant-colonel assigned to the Chateauroux Air Station in France. Santos commissioned the factory to rebuild the engine in August 1962, although he was dissatisfied with the results and engaged further work from a French specialist. Per his correspondence with the Maserati factory, by November 1963 Santos had returned stateside to work at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, accompanied of course by the stylish Spyder. In 1966 Colonel Santos sold the Maserati (which by this time was repainted in Rosso), in all likelihood to George Sackman of Carmel, California. Sackman undoubtedly owned the A6G/54 by the time of his factory correspondence of July 1968, and he kept the car as late as 1970 before selling it to San Francisco-area resident Angelo Ferro, the Italian-American owner of the Genoa Racing Team. After very little use Mr. Ferro put 2101 into storage, and it remained domiciled for a remarkable period of approximately 30 years, ensuring a high degree of originality. In August 2001 the Maserati was visited at the team’s facility in nearby Novato by Adolfo Orsi, who was engaged to help research the car’s history. At this time team chief Ed Nelson was overseeing a comprehensive restoration of the Spyder to its 1958 configuration, which was ultimately completed in 2003. This work included a rebuild of the engine by Ferrari specialist Paul Hasselgren, a repaint in the original factory color of Blu Algisto Scuro by Rob Etcheverry, and a retrimming of the interior by Ken Nemineck. The Maserati then began a tour of world-class concours d’elegance, starting with presentation at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A year later at the 2004 Quail Motorsports Gathering the Spyder garnered 1st place in the Post War Sports Car class, and in 2005 the car won Best of Show at Concorso Italiano, and multiple awards at the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance. Around this time the A6G/54 was the subject of a feature article in the July 2005 issue of Sports Car International magazine, and it was also profiled in the April 2006 issue of Classic Cars. Following an invitation to the special Zagato display at the Quail once again in 2006, the Maserati was acquired in October 2010 by a respected collector based in the United Kingdom. The Spyder’s exhibition career then continued with an appearance in September 2011 at the special Zagato presentation at the Florence Concorso Unique Special Ones, after which the car was displayed at the Museo Panini in Modena for nearly 18 months. This period included a more temporary exhibition across town to commemorate the official opening of the Museo Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari. After completing its museum appointments in Italy, the Maserati continued to be shown at the world’s most exclusive automotive gatherings, with appearances at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and the St. James Concours d’Elegance. In November 2013 the Maserati was sold in an auction titled Art of the Automobile, held in late 2013 in partnership between what was then RM Auctions and Sotheby’s at Sotheby’s York Avenue headquarters to the well-known American collector Oscar Davis. Following his purchase, the car was fastidiously maintained by the respected Leydon Restorations of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their attention included the installation of a new fuel pump, a rebuild of the carburetors, and attention to the brakes and fuel system. Following Mr. Davis’ unfortunate passing, the A6G/54 was again offered by RM Sotheby’s in August 2022 alongside the remainder of his impressive collection, at which point the car was sold to a respected collector based in Southern California. After successfully completing the 2022 Colorado Grand, the Maserati was entrusted to the well-known Italian sports car specialists Fast Cars Ltd of Redondo Beach, California, for additional restoration measures. Mr. Orsi was again retained to provide details of historic accuracy, resulting in his thorough report (which also notes the continued presence of the matching-numbers engine). Following the completion of this work, the Spyder returned to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2024, this time winning its class and earning the Jules Heumann Special Award for the Most Elegant Open Car. Incredibly rare and meticulously restored over a twenty year period, this award winning one-off Zagato Spyder is a breathtaking example of Maserati’s celebrated Italian Sports Car Championship-winning A6G/54 model.

This widely understood phenomenon of a product that somehow exceeds the sum of its parts may be an aberration of our sense of simple arithmetic, but we have undoubtedly witnessed it nevertheless. Think of those nearly magical moments when two agents, each of outstanding individual merit in its own right, combine to forge something that wildly succeeds beyond anyone’s imagination. Think Paul and John; Magic and Kareem; Nike and MJ. In each of these examples, two individual forces combined to result in a product so special that it evolved into a legitimate cultural moment before flirting with the status of legend. In the automotive realm, there may be no better embodiment of this concept than Maserati and Zagato during the early 1950s; one a racing powerhouse aspiring to road car legitimacy, the other a design concern on the cusp of its most expressive and timeless sculptures. The ultimate result of this iconic collaboration was none other than the peak of form and function; a model so brutally effective in competition it hardly dared to be so voluptuous, and a car so achingly beautiful to look at it was barely to be believed it could be so fast and agile—the Maserati A6G/54 Spyder with coachwork by Zagato. For within this noteworthy competition-proven model, which was bodied by Zagato as a racing berlinetta, the engineers of Modena advanced the ultimate development of the A6G sports-racing platform, while the stylists at the Milanese coachbuilder penned one of their most celebrated designs. Yet as powerful, beautiful, and rare as the closed berlinetta version of the A6G/54 was, the model was actually inaugurated with an example even more special, the featured lot, and the only open-bodied example built; chassis number 2101. The A6G/54 was initially introduced at the 1954 Turin Motor show with a prototype built on chassis number 2063 that wore 2+2 coupe coachwork by Frua. As a roadgoing development of the A6GCS/53 barchetta sports-racers, the new model’s advanced dual-overhead cam engine was now detuned for street use with chain-driven timing gear and wet sump lubrication. Following the Frua-bodied show car, Maserati commenced a new numbering sequence for the model that began with chassis number 2101, the featured Spyder. Ultimately limited to a modest batch of 60 total examples, the A6G/54 chassis output was divided among three coachbuilders, with a Michelotti-designed coupe built by Allemano accounting for approximately 21 cars, open and closed versions by Frua reaching 18 cars, and the Zagato examples making up the balance of 21 cars. Zagato’s version is overwhelmingly preferred by many sporting enthusiasts for its aerodynamic, curvaceous styling, which was executed in aluminum alloy for optimal weight savings and competition advantage. While the cars by Allemano and Frua were positioned more as luxurious grand tourers, the Zagato cars were just as assuredly racing machines, with their lightweight coachwork and more spartan interior arrangements. Yet as thrilling as the racing berlinettas are, the sole open Spyder teases a glimpse of so much more… UNREALIZED TIMELINES – FROM PARIS TO LA PAMPA A research report by marque authority Adolfo Orsi commissioned by the most recent owner adds considerable insight to past anecdotal accounts that chassis number 2101 may have been originally ordered by Juan Perón, the famed postwar Argentinian presidential strongman and world-renowned sports car enthusiast. While no “smoking gun” document has yet surfaced that unequivocally demonstrates Peron’s connection to the car, Orsi lays out a convincing field of circumstantial evidence that lends considerable weight to the claim. According to Orsi’s research of factory archives, the Spyder was dispatched from Maserati to Zagato for coachwork on November 18, 1954, with a note near the customer field that read “Argentina”. This clue that the A6G/54 was slated for ownership by Perón was later indirectly confirmed by a 1961 piece of correspondence from the factory. There is little doubt that the runaway successes of Argentine national Juan Manuel Fangio on auto racing’s biggest stage greatly invigorated the appreciation of motorsports and automotive culture in his homeland. Having already won one world championship for Alfa Romeo in 1951, Fangio was frequently racing for Maserati during 1953 and early 1954, serving as a link between the automaker and President Perón that would pave the way for the import of industrial machinery made by Modena’s subsidiaries. Chassis number 2101 might well have been delivered to its Argentine buyer had not politics exploded in a different direction. By early 1955, Perón had begun to fall out of public favor, and this overwhelming national sentiment soon surged into a full-on popular revolt that resulted in the strongman’s exile. This remarkable turn of events had a silver lining, of course; with the Spyder remaining in its possession, Maserati had retained an ideal flagship to show off during the upcoming season of auto salons. Photographic evidence demonstrates the gradual aesthetic evolution of chassis number 2101 during its first few years. A picture of the Spyder taken at the Zagato plant during the winter of 1954 to 1955 shows it fitted with a split windscreen that extended to the far edges of the body, and an outsized and stylized Trident ornament on the grille that was notably missing its vertical base. Also featuring an unvented flat hood, foglamps, and unvented front fenders, the car was equipped with Borrani wire wheels and finished in Blu Algido Scuro (Dark Ice Blue) paint. Photos taken a few months later in early 1955 show the windshield in the same basic shape, but now as a single pane of glass without a dividing spine, while the front fascia has been fitted with a wire mesh grille, over which the unconventional Trident ornament was completed with the base limb. In this appearance, the A6G/54 made its first public appearance at the Geneva Salon in March 1955, where it was beautifully flanked by an A6GCS/53 race car, encapsulating the company’s finest offerings for both grand touring and sports-racing applications. After receiving rave reviews from onlookers and the automotive press, and with delivery to Perón most likely in a very doubtful state by this time, chassis number 2101 was returned to the Maserati factory, where it would undergo further adjustments. Nineteen months later 2101 was presented again, this time at the 1956 Paris Salon on the stand of Thepanier, the official Maserati importer to France. As evidenced by period media coverage of the show, by this time the A6G/54 was fitted with several key details that defined its final lasting configuration, including a smaller curved one-piece wraparound windscreen, a new hood with a raised engine intake scoop, elegantly vented front fenders, and a new grille ornament consisting of a more standard Trident badge. Following the show’s conclusion, 2101 was returned to the factory again and remained there in storage until April 1959. NEW HORIZONS – A JOURNEY INTO AMERICAN OWNERSHIP Issued a certificate of origin in December 1958, the A6G/54 was earmarked for customer availability and soon sold to Louis W. Schroeder, an American diplomat working at the US embassy in Paris. A few months after taking delivery of the Spyder in April 1959, Mr. Schroeder drove the Maserati to La Sarthe to watch the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he was undoubtedly delighted by fellow countryman Carroll Shelby’s victory with the Aston Martin team. In April 1960 Schroeder sold the Maserati to Sherrod Santos, a US Air Force lieutenant-colonel assigned to the Chateauroux Air Station in France. Santos commissioned the factory to rebuild the engine in August 1962, although he was dissatisfied with the results and engaged further work from a French specialist. Per his correspondence with the Maserati factory, by November 1963 Santos had returned stateside to work at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, accompanied of course by the stylish Spyder. In 1966 Colonel Santos sold the Maserati (which by this time was repainted in Rosso), in all likelihood to George Sackman of Carmel, California. Sackman undoubtedly owned the A6G/54 by the time of his factory correspondence of July 1968, and he kept the car as late as 1970 before selling it to San Francisco-area resident Angelo Ferro, the Italian-American owner of the Genoa Racing Team. After very little use Mr. Ferro put 2101 into storage, and it remained domiciled for a remarkable period of approximately 30 years, ensuring a high degree of originality. In August 2001 the Maserati was visited at the team’s facility in nearby Novato by Adolfo Orsi, who was engaged to help research the car’s history. At this time team chief Ed Nelson was overseeing a comprehensive restoration of the Spyder to its 1958 configuration, which was ultimately completed in 2003. This work included a rebuild of the engine by Ferrari specialist Paul Hasselgren, a repaint in the original factory color of Blu Algisto Scuro by Rob Etcheverry, and a retrimming of the interior by Ken Nemineck. The Maserati then began a tour of world-class concours d’elegance, starting with presentation at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A year later at the 2004 Quail Motorsports Gathering the Spyder garnered 1st place in the Post War Sports Car class, and in 2005 the car won Best of Show at Concorso Italiano, and multiple awards at the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance. Around this time the A6G/54 was the subject of a feature article in the July 2005 issue of Sports Car International magazine, and it was also profiled in the April 2006 issue of Classic Cars. Following an invitation to the special Zagato display at the Quail once again in 2006, the Maserati was acquired in October 2010 by a respected collector based in the United Kingdom. The Spyder’s exhibition career then continued with an appearance in September 2011 at the special Zagato presentation at the Florence Concorso Unique Special Ones, after which the car was displayed at the Museo Panini in Modena for nearly 18 months. This period included a more temporary exhibition across town to commemorate the official opening of the Museo Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari. After completing its museum appointments in Italy, the Maserati continued to be shown at the world’s most exclusive automotive gatherings, with appearances at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and the St. James Concours d’Elegance. In November 2013 the Maserati was sold in an auction titled Art of the Automobile, held in late 2013 in partnership between what was then RM Auctions and Sotheby’s at Sotheby’s York Avenue headquarters to the well-known American collector Oscar Davis. Following his purchase, the car was fastidiously maintained by the respected Leydon Restorations of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their attention included the installation of a new fuel pump, a rebuild of the carburetors, and attention to the brakes and fuel system. Following Mr. Davis’ unfortunate passing, the A6G/54 was again offered by RM Sotheby’s in August 2022 alongside the remainder of his impressive collection, at which point the car was sold to a respected collector based in Southern California. After successfully completing the 2022 Colorado Grand, the Maserati was entrusted to the well-known Italian sports car specialists Fast Cars Ltd of Redondo Beach, California, for additional restoration measures. Mr. Orsi was again retained to provide details of historic accuracy, resulting in his thorough report (which also notes the continued presence of the matching-numbers engine). Following the completion of this work, the Spyder returned to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2024, this time winning its class and earning the Jules Heumann Special Award for the Most Elegant Open Car. Incredibly rare and meticulously restored over a twenty year period, this award winning one-off Zagato Spyder is a breathtaking example of Maserati’s celebrated Italian Sports Car Championship-winning A6G/54 model.

Completed on 15 March 1965, this Mistral Spyder was initially finished in Argento Metalizzato (Salchi #106E1) over a Rosso Connolly (Rosso-pac.1603) leather interior. It was sold new to Jaguar Daimler Distributors, Inc. of New York for display at the 1965 New York Auto Show, per historical documentation provided by the Maserati Club. Its first known private owner was Joseph B. Quatman, a prominent Ohio lawyer and philanthropist, who purchased the car in 1966. Mr. Quatman traded it in for a Maserati Ghibli in 1968 via Trident Importers, Inc. of Pennsylvania. The car was restored in the late 1990s, after which it was acquired by its current owner—himself a restorer by profession—in 2006. It is now handsomely finished in black over a crème Connolly leather interior. Further, a rebuild of its numbers-matching engine, completed in March 2020, saw the car’s 3.5-liter inline-six upgraded to 3.7-liter specification. While the Mistral was originally equipped with Lucas fuel injection, it has since been fitted with triple carburetors—a common conversion that provides better and more reliable performance. The original fuel injection system is, however, included in the sale. In 2024, at a reported cost of approximately $25,000, the car was sent to Italy for inspection by Maserati’s Classiche program. Upon review, it was found to retain its original, matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox, and factory-numbered body and trim panels. The car is accompanied by a Maserati Classiche dossier including its Blue Book and Certificate of Authenticity, maintenance and restoration invoices dating from the 1980s, and historical documentation. Notably, it successfully completed the Copperstate 1000 twice, most recently while in the possession of the consignor in 2008. A show car from birth, this immaculately presented Mistral Spyder offers its next owner a sublime example of one of Maserati’s greatest gran turismos, one benefitting from year after year of unbridled care—a sports car equally at home on the open road and on the concours green. 1965 Maserati Mistral 3.5 Spyder RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
