  • 1952 Jaguar C-type

    This is XKC 028 and when new, was dispatched to Jaguar distributors Charles Hornburg in Los Angeles LA on 24th November 1952. Its early life primarily saw use as a road car; the merit of which shines through today as this example has remained unusually original. It did race, but not until 1981 in the hands of Joe Egle, a former Jaguar distributor in Kansas City, Missouri. After fitting seatbelts, as they were not a safety requirement for motorcars in period, 028 made its first public appearance at the Elkhart Lake Vintage Races and Concours. Whilst the car didn’t race, it did win first place in the concours. Its second outing at Road Atlanta however saw much greater success. Egle and his daughters entered the car at the Vintage Races and Concours run by the SVRA. Whilst they had not planned to race, they found they couldn’t enter the concours without doing so. In a borrowed race suit and helmet, Joe Egle dusted off his racing-skills and entered the car which had sat unused for the best part of fifteen years. He lapped every car on the grid except Bob O’Brien’s XK120 and won the race. In 1988, the C-type passed to Bob Baker and later, in 1995, to Arizona-based cardiologist Dr. Phillippe Reyens who would keep the car for 20 years. All these drivers used it in US historic racing events but without accident and without losing any significant original parts. 'XKC 028 is a particularly complete and correct C type, indeed I cannot think of a more original example. The condition is excellent and I believe it has had the most sensitive of restorations. I would particularly recommend it as a chance to see just how these cars looked on day one. Perhaps rather counter-intuitively, what is good about XKC 028 is that it actually did not race in period. This has saved it from the typical damage and crude modification that some cars suffered in racing at the time they were at their lowest value. It is absolutely a car to cherish and I would love to own it.'- Chris Keith-Lucas, CKL Developments Most recently this example has found residence in the United States once more, and is available to view by appointment only. 1952 Jaguar C-type D.K.

  • 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400

    Please note this lot has entered Switzerland on a temporary import bond, which must be cancelled either by exporting the lot outside of Switzerland on an approved Bill of Lading with supporting customs documentation or by paying the applicable VAT and import duties to have the lot remain in Switzerland. The automotive industry has a long history of evolution, interrupted with bursts of innovation. It is hard to imagine the world without the supercar, the pinnacle of automotive engineering married to extraordinary aesthetics. Since the 1960s, supercars have always been the most desirable cars on the road and the first modern supercar was the Lamborghini Miura. Marcello Gandini was only 27 years old—and recently employed by Bertone—when he penned the lines of the Miura. Commissioned to produce something uncompromising for an equally radical chassis, the body was an extraordinary combination of swooping lines mixed with eyelashes, slats, and cleverly integrated air intakes. Such was Gandini’s fresh thinking that it is almost impossible to find inspiration from earlier cars. Though influence certainly came from Lamborghini’s spirit-animal, with doors modelled on bull horns, creating a wonderful front profile when wide open. The low-slung monocoque chassis was designed by a 28-year-old engineer called Gian Paolo Dallara, a man who would go on to establish his eponymous company, and develop some of the most successful chassis in motorsport. The Miura was a significant part of his personal development, and his decision to place the engine and transaxle transversely in the rear of the chassis was an utterly brilliant piece of packaging. Previously, the most famous car to use a transverse engine and gearbox setup was the Mini, a front-engine mass produced car of the people, not a car aiming to be the fastest on the planet. The chassis was further complemented by double-wishbone independent suspension with coil-over dampers on all four corners. An anti-roll bar was fitted at the rear to aid the handling, and discs brakes on both axles proved more than capable of slowing down such a ferociously quick car. Another young engineer involved in this ground-breaking car was Giotto Bizzarrini, still in his late-30s. Following on from his time at Ferrari, where he masterminded the 250 GTO, Bizzarrini founded his own engineering consultancy and designed the V-12 that would be first used in the 350 GT. The design was outstanding, with Lamborghini using the same block design for every V-12 until the all-new Aventador was launched. For the Miura, Bizzarrini’s V-12 design was enlarged to 4.0 litres and fed by four downdraught triple Weber 40 IDLs. All of these design and engineering features resulted in what became the fastest production car in the world, and one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The birth of the Miura had been unconventional and its release into the world was even more so. The Miura was first shown without its body in rolling chassis form at the 1965 Turin Auto Show with prospective buyers placing orders; they were in for a pleasant surprise when a prototype was finally revealed at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show to astonished crowds. Further development was carried out by 20-somethings, Paolo Stanzani and Bob Wallace. Wallace would famously put development miles on the prototype by driving it from Sant’Agata Bolognese to the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, practically stopping traffic by parking the Miura outside the Casino for all to admire. The success of the Miura and its later versions established Lamborghini as one of the preeminent supercar manufacturers, and 762 Miuras were produced in total. Chassis number 3375 is one of the earliest “thick chassis” P400s, incorporating chassis modifications to improve stiffness and handling. Leaving the factory on 4 March 1968, this Miura has production no. 135. It travelled a short distance to Milan to be delivered to Mr. Bongiasca via Lamborghini dealer Lamborcar. By 1998, this Miura was residing in California, in the care of Donald Sullivan. In early 2009 it appeared for sale and was fitted with a Chevrolet V-8 and a ZF transaxle; it is believed that these were relieved from an unfortunate De Tomaso Mangusta. Soon after this time it was exported to Sweden where the new owner embarked on a restoration, which included installing a correct specification Miura P400 drivetrain, a respray to Verde Miura, and a retrim in Bleu. During 2015, this Miura was sold to the current owner who commenced another restoration with an Italian workshop. Included in this process was a full bare-metal repaint back to its original colour, Bianco Miura, with an interior retrim in blue and light grey leather. During this restoration the chassis was put on a jig, body repairs were carried out, and the rear subframe was returned to factory configuration. The result of this restoration is a stunning example with outstanding panel shut-lines, worthy of any concours d’elegance. Presented as a fully restored example of one of Italy’s greatest supercars, this Miura P400 would be a wonderful car for fast road driving or simply admiring as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The product of a rare moment of youthful exuberance and free-thinking innovation, the effect of the Miura can be seen throughout the history of the supercar, and they will always remain in the collections and on the wish lists of true petrolheads. 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1975-de-tomaso-pantera-gts

    This striking, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of this iconic Italian-American collaboration had covered just 23,232 miles at the time of cataloguing and with only one former keeper recorded, it represents a scarce and highly desirable opportunity. The GTS marked a more focused evolution of the Pantera and this example benefits from the purity of the early, Tom Tjaarda-penned, narrow-body design. Finished in its original factory colour scheme of mid-blue with a contrasting matte black bonnet and rear deck lid, the car presents as a faithful reflection of its period specification, supported by an accompanying letter dated 18th October 1975 from M.T.C. Cars Ltd, the UK supplying dealer. Supplied new by M.T.C. Cars, the car was specified with GTS components prior to delivery, in keeping with period practice. Documentation within the history file, including the original vehicle order form and period correspondence, confirms its GTS specification at the point of supply. Cars prepared in this manner were supplied to a limited number of clients, including one example delivered to the Sultan of Brunei. A comprehensive restoration, completed over four years, has returned the car to factory correct specification with a clear emphasis on originality. The bodyshell was stripped, dipped and etch primed before being rebuilt, with detailed attention given to both mechanical and cosmetic elements. The car retains its matching numbers 351 Cleveland V8 engine, paired with the ZF 5DS-25/2 5-speed manual gearbox, delivering the performance and character synonymous with the model. The interior presents in excellent order, consistent with the low indicated mileage and the standard of restoration, with period-correct details retained throughout. The driver’s door and bonnet rubbers will be replaced prior to the sale. The history file is extensive and includes the original sales invoice, new vehicle order form, first service invoice, previous MOT Certificates and period brochures. Also accompanying the car are the original inlet manifold, Ford carburettor, airbox, spare wheel, jack and toolkit, further supporting its provenance. The Pantera sits on its original 15" Campagnolo 8" and 10" wide magnesium wheels, which have been professionally inspected and refurbished, and retains its original number plates. Since completion of the restoration, the car has been stored in a humidity controlled environment and has covered only a few hundred miles. Right-hand drive Pantera GTS models are rarely offered, particularly examples combining low indicated mileage, limited ownership and such a strong history file. With growing interest in the model, this example would make a compelling addition to any considered collection. We encourage your inspection to fully appreciate its quality and significance. 1975 De Tomaso Pantera GTS Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The interior presents in excellent order, consistent with the low indicated mileage and the standard of restoration, with period-correct details retained throughout. The driver’s door and bonnet rubbers will be replaced prior to the sale. The history file is extensive and includes the original sales invoice, new vehicle order form, first service invoice, previous MOT Certificates and period brochures. Also accompanying the car are the original inlet manifold, Ford carburettor, airbox, spare wheel, jack and toolkit, further supporting its provenance. The Pantera sits on its original 15" Campagnolo 8" and 10" wide magnesium wheels, which have been professionally inspected and refurbished, and retains its original number plates. Since completion of the restoration, the car has been stored in a humidity controlled environment and has covered only a few hundred miles. Right-hand drive Pantera GTS models are rarely offered, particularly examples combining low indicated mileage, limited ownership and such a strong history file. With growing interest in the model, this example would make a compelling addition to any considered collection. We encourage your inspection to fully appreciate its quality and significance.

  • 1961 Porsche 356 BT5

    This 1961 356 B is a cabriolet with a T5 body. Finished in bright red, it has been under the care of a single owner since 1997 and is the perfect 356 for the owner looking to buy a car to drive and enjoy. During the 356 B series, Porsche didn’t produce a Speedster, but this car—known as a BT5 Cabriolet—is, in many ways, the spiritual successor to that series of sought-after drop-tops. Although this car has clearly been refurbished over the years, it doesn’t seem ever to have been fully restored and retains its numbers matching body panels and drivetrain. The black fabric soft top is in decent condition and folds away easily behind the front seats. As a BT5, this car only has one rear grille over the engine bay, and sitting below it are a pair of gold badges stating that this car is fitted with the legendary 1,600 cc flat-4 engine. The interior of the car is finished in a combination of tan and black, with tan vinyl covering the seats and door cards. From the factory, this car would have come with a dashboard painted to match the body color, but at some point, it was changed to satin black on this car. Although the Porsche purists may not be quite so enthusiastic about this change, in truth it helps cut down on glare when driving with the top down and is a nice addition that was later adopted by most cars. The original large plastic steering wheel has been swapped out for a smaller wood and metal Moto-Lita 3-spoke wheel, which feels great in the hands and makes ingress and egress far easier. An era-appropriate Blaupunkt radio sits just above the shifter, and is a refreshing sight to see since many cars from this era have been saddled with far less attractive modern head units in recent years. Sitting out back is the 1,600cc air-cooled flat 4, which is rated from the factory for 60 horsepower. Although this doesn’t sound like much in modern times, the 356 B Cabriolet reportedly weighs just under 900 kg, which means that 60 horsepower is plenty to have a good time. This engine is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, which adds to the engaging driving experience. One of the things that keeps interest in the 356 high after all these years is that for a car as old as they are, the driving experience is actually quite modern feeling. Whereas many sports cars from the 1950s have unpleasantly heavy controls and ponderous handling, the 356 feels light and nimble, and the inputs are all excellently weighted. With summer approaching, it is hard to imagine a car better suited to top-down motoring than this 356 BT5 Cabriolet. With its fantastic driver-quality condition throughout, you won’t have to worry about your freshly restored showpiece being damaged and instead, you can focus on what the car is truly built for- enjoying the open road. 1961 Porsche 356 BT5 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 2001-peugeot-206-wrc-evo-2

    The Peugeot 206 WRC The towering concrete overpass and the grassy banks either side of the structure are jam-packed with thousands of people, many of whom wave Spanish flags and banners. Ripples of buoyant, feverish excitement erupt with each and every car that storms towards and negotiates the tight left-hand hairpin, especially the compact Peugeot 206 WRCs, which cock their inside rear wheels as they pass like excitable puppies. This single corner at Rallye de España in 2002 encapsulates the wild popularity of the rallying around the turn of the Millennium. It was reminiscent of the halcyon days of Group B in the 1980s, when a similarly diverse plethora of manufacturers had flocked to the World Rally Championship. And Peugeot’s ‘Silver Bullets’ were front and centre. Not only did they return the title to the French marque for the first time since the 205 T16 managed the same feat in 1985 and ’86, but they also went one better, snatching the crown three times in a row, from 2000 to 2002. Unlike the large, boxy and practical saloons such as the Subaru Impreza and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evos which had become commonplace (and dominant), the comparatively dinky Peugeot 206 was an entirely different proposition – compact, curvaceous and as nimble as a fly, with all four wheels right at the corners “Not only did the 206 return the title to Peugeot for the first time since the 205 managed the same feat in 1985 and ’86, but it also snatched the crown three times in a row, from 2000 to 2002.” If its Group B forebear, the 205 T16, was a caveman’s club, the 206 WRC was a surgeon’s scalpel. The circular plastic door handles and the headlight surrounds were all that were carried over from the road-going 206, Peugeot exploiting the FIA’s relatively relaxed rules and, of course, the fact it wasn’t required to build a costly homologation special for the road. For such a little car, the 206 WRC was crammed with state-of-the-art technology, from the suite of electronic systems including those which controlled the differentials to the unusual longitudinally-mounted gearbox behind the transverse turbocharged two-litre engine. Peugeot even developed its own shock absorbers. It was this research and development that equipped the 206 with a freakish breadth of ability and, ultimately, the edge over its rivals. Peugeot Sport No. C35 Stamped with the internal Peugeot Sport chassis number C35 and assigned the French registration ‘286 NNN 75’, the 206 WRC Evo 2 we’re pumped to be offering is one of 21 examples built to Evo 2 specifications. That meant a more powerful engine and a wheelbase subtly modified for greater agility (as if the original car needed it). Baptism of fire: this Peugeot 206 WRC made its competitive debut in the Cyprus Rally in 2001 A Works Peugeot Total World Rally Team entry, chassis C35 made its competitive debut at Rally Cyprus in June of 2001, in the hands of the then-reigning World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm alongside his co-driver Timo Rautiainen. The duo’s tally of three special stage victories was agonizingly thwarted by a mechanical failure. The perilous ‘yumps’ and knee-deep gravel of Finland were next for chassis C35, which this time around was driven by the 1994 World Rally Champion Didier Auriol. The 45th Tour de Corse in October of 2001 was when this Peugeot really hit its stride. A new driver pairing was once again assigned, this time the French brothers Gilles and Herve Panizzi. They lived up their billing as the ‘Kings of Tarmac’, clinching six special stage victories and finishing second overall. Gilles Panizzi scored the first of C35’s three World Rally victories at the history-steeped Tour de Corse in 2002 As Panizzi narrowly missed out on victory in Corsica, so he was afforded a second bite of the apple in March of 2002, when the World Rally Championship returned to the mountainous French island. This time around, nobody could stop Panizzi, nor indeed the Peugeot Total World Rally Team. The 206 WRCs were untouchable, locking out the top three spots with ease. Panizzi was the class of the field, racking up eight special stage wins on his way to outright victory in this car. The famous Rallycourse annual described his performance as ‘stand-out’ – “His neatness and ability to use every inch of the road were beyond [Marcus] Grönholm and [Richard] Burns.” Peugeot’s dominance was also compared to Lancia’s ‘at its zenith’. High praise indeed… The freshly-crowned World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm and his teammate Timo Rautiainen celebrate after dominating Rally Australia in 2002 Following further appearances at the Cyprus Rally and Rally Finland, chassis C35 made its final appearance of the 2002 season (and in silver) down under in the 15th Telstra Rally Australia. Grönholm, the freshly-crowned World Rally Champion, and Timo Rautiainen were back in the car. And by all accounts, the rally was nothing short of a walk in the park for the Finnish duo, the 206 once again proving the class of the field. So much so, that before the rally had even finished, Grönholm could think of nothing new to say to the hordes of reporters. Another 11 special stage victories under C35’s belt and a stunning second outright win to add to the bedpost. For the 2003 season, the tobacco giant Marlboro became Peugeot’s title sponsor. With the move came a visual refresh for the 206 WRCs. The characteristic silver was replaced with an all-red livery featuring the Marlboro logo which adorned so many iconic racing cars before. Marcus Grönholm and Timo Rautiainen won 11 special stages en route to victory in Rally New Zealand in 2003 If anyone had foolishly thought that the reigning champ Marcus Grönholm might rest on his title-winning laurels, they were promptly proved otherwise. Perhaps nowhere was this more evident than during the fourth round in New Zealand, a rally in which the Finn returned to the cockpit of chassis C35 – now adorned with the number one on its doors and roof. What transpired was a show of dominance even stronger than Australia the previous year. Grönholm and Rautiainen led from start to finish, adding 11 special stage wins to this Peugeot’s extraordinary tally. This Peugeot 206 would contest two further World Rally Championship events under the Works banner: Rallye Deutschland in the hands of Gilles Panizzi and its third Tour de Corse, this time with the 2001 World Rally Champion Richard Burns at the controls. Peugeot Sport retained possession of chassis C35 until 2005, when it was sold to a privateer outfit, which campaigned the car in the French Tarmac Rally Championship in 2005. “New Zealand was a show of dominance even stronger than Australia the previous year. Grönholm and Rautiainen led from start to finish, adding 11 special stage wins to this Peugeot’s extraordinary tally.” This 206 WRC made one further appearance in the World Rally Championship in 2005: Rally Deutschland, under the Equipe de France FFSA banner. Since then, chassis C35 has contested a plethora of domestic tarmac events across Europe, including most recently the 2017 Rally Legend in Italy. We acquired chassis C35 towards the end of 2021 and, considering its historical significance, promptly set about a meticulous cosmetic restoration. Of this Peugeot’s three victories on the world stage, Rally New Zealand in 2003 was the most impressive, therefore that was the moment in time we decided to return the car to. That means refinishing chassis C35 in its signature Marlboro red, reinstating its factory livery including Marcus Grönholm’s number one roundels, and returning the car to full gravel specification. Not only is this magnificent World Rally car accompanied by its FIA Gold Book, which crucially verifies the 11 World Rally Championship rounds chassis C35 contested. Also included are paperwork documenting its French registration, copies of the original FIA homologation papers for the 206 WRC, an extensively researched Girardo & Co. history report and a great number of high-resolution photos of the car in action during its Works career, sourced from the Girardo & Co. Archive. Arguably the most impressive aspect of the bumper history file is the comprehensive documentation for all three rallies in which this Peugeot 206 WRC triumphed: Rally Australia and the Tour de Corse in 2002 and Rally New Zealand in 2003. With everything from driver pace notes, spectator guides, media itineraries and journalists’ first-hand notes to special stage timesheets, maps and manufacturer schedules, these are nostalgic and extraordinarily detailed snapshots of the world-famous events chassis C35 won. Today, this Peugeot 206 WRC Evo 2 stands as an ultra-significant piece of motorsport history – a car which contested the world’s most famous rallies on both hard and loose surfaces and won three of them. Not only did chassis 35 help Marcus Grönholm to clinch the second of his drivers’ titles, but it also played an instrumental role in two of Peugeot’s three consecutive World Rally Championship constructors’ victories. There is no doubting the Peugeot 206 WRC was the car to beat in rallying’s top flight for three seasons. We’re proud to offer one of the finest examples of the breed. 2001 Peugeot 206 WRC Evo 2 Girardo & Co. Ltd 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 The Peugeot 206 WRC The towering concrete overpass and the grassy banks either side of the structure are jam-packed with thousands of people, many of whom wave Spanish flags and banners. Ripples of buoyant, feverish excitement erupt with each and every car that storms towards and negotiates the tight left-hand hairpin, especially the compact Peugeot 206 WRCs, which cock their inside rear wheels as they pass like excitable puppies. This single corner at Rallye de España in 2002 encapsulates the wild popularity of the rallying around the turn of the Millennium. It was reminiscent of the halcyon days of Group B in the 1980s, when a similarly diverse plethora of manufacturers had flocked to the World Rally Championship. And Peugeot’s ‘Silver Bullets’ were front and centre. Not only did they return the title to the French marque for the first time since the 205 T16 managed the same feat in 1985 and ’86, but they also went one better, snatching the crown three times in a row, from 2000 to 2002. Unlike the large, boxy and practical saloons such as the Subaru Impreza and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evos which had become commonplace (and dominant), the comparatively dinky Peugeot 206 was an entirely different proposition – compact, curvaceous and as nimble as a fly, with all four wheels right at the corners “Not only did the 206 return the title to Peugeot for the first time since the 205 managed the same feat in 1985 and ’86, but it also snatched the crown three times in a row, from 2000 to 2002.” If its Group B forebear, the 205 T16, was a caveman’s club, the 206 WRC was a surgeon’s scalpel. The circular plastic door handles and the headlight surrounds were all that were carried over from the road-going 206, Peugeot exploiting the FIA’s relatively relaxed rules and, of course, the fact it wasn’t required to build a costly homologation special for the road. For such a little car, the 206 WRC was crammed with state-of-the-art technology, from the suite of electronic systems including those which controlled the differentials to the unusual longitudinally-mounted gearbox behind the transverse turbocharged two-litre engine. Peugeot even developed its own shock absorbers. It was this research and development that equipped the 206 with a freakish breadth of ability and, ultimately, the edge over its rivals. Peugeot Sport No. C35 Stamped with the internal Peugeot Sport chassis number C35 and assigned the French registration ‘286 NNN 75’, the 206 WRC Evo 2 we’re pumped to be offering is one of 21 examples built to Evo 2 specifications. That meant a more powerful engine and a wheelbase subtly modified for greater agility (as if the original car needed it). Baptism of fire: this Peugeot 206 WRC made its competitive debut in the Cyprus Rally in 2001 A Works Peugeot Total World Rally Team entry, chassis C35 made its competitive debut at Rally Cyprus in June of 2001, in the hands of the then-reigning World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm alongside his co-driver Timo Rautiainen. The duo’s tally of three special stage victories was agonizingly thwarted by a mechanical failure. The perilous ‘yumps’ and knee-deep gravel of Finland were next for chassis C35, which this time around was driven by the 1994 World Rally Champion Didier Auriol. The 45th Tour de Corse in October of 2001 was when this Peugeot really hit its stride. A new driver pairing was once again assigned, this time the French brothers Gilles and Herve Panizzi. They lived up their billing as the ‘Kings of Tarmac’, clinching six special stage victories and finishing second overall. Gilles Panizzi scored the first of C35’s three World Rally victories at the history-steeped Tour de Corse in 2002 As Panizzi narrowly missed out on victory in Corsica, so he was afforded a second bite of the apple in March of 2002, when the World Rally Championship returned to the mountainous French island. This time around, nobody could stop Panizzi, nor indeed the Peugeot Total World Rally Team. The 206 WRCs were untouchable, locking out the top three spots with ease. Panizzi was the class of the field, racking up eight special stage wins on his way to outright victory in this car. The famous Rallycourse annual described his performance as ‘stand-out’ – “His neatness and ability to use every inch of the road were beyond [Marcus] Grönholm and [Richard] Burns.” Peugeot’s dominance was also compared to Lancia’s ‘at its zenith’. High praise indeed… The freshly-crowned World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm and his teammate Timo Rautiainen celebrate after dominating Rally Australia in 2002 Following further appearances at the Cyprus Rally and Rally Finland, chassis C35 made its final appearance of the 2002 season (and in silver) down under in the 15th Telstra Rally Australia. Grönholm, the freshly-crowned World Rally Champion, and Timo Rautiainen were back in the car. And by all accounts, the rally was nothing short of a walk in the park for the Finnish duo, the 206 once again proving the class of the field. So much so, that before the rally had even finished, Grönholm could think of nothing new to say to the hordes of reporters. Another 11 special stage victories under C35’s belt and a stunning second outright win to add to the bedpost. For the 2003 season, the tobacco giant Marlboro became Peugeot’s title sponsor. With the move came a visual refresh for the 206 WRCs. The characteristic silver was replaced with an all-red livery featuring the Marlboro logo which adorned so many iconic racing cars before. Marcus Grönholm and Timo Rautiainen won 11 special stages en route to victory in Rally New Zealand in 2003 If anyone had foolishly thought that the reigning champ Marcus Grönholm might rest on his title-winning laurels, they were promptly proved otherwise. Perhaps nowhere was this more evident than during the fourth round in New Zealand, a rally in which the Finn returned to the cockpit of chassis C35 – now adorned with the number one on its doors and roof. What transpired was a show of dominance even stronger than Australia the previous year. Grönholm and Rautiainen led from start to finish, adding 11 special stage wins to this Peugeot’s extraordinary tally. This Peugeot 206 would contest two further World Rally Championship events under the Works banner: Rallye Deutschland in the hands of Gilles Panizzi and its third Tour de Corse, this time with the 2001 World Rally Champion Richard Burns at the controls. Peugeot Sport retained possession of chassis C35 until 2005, when it was sold to a privateer outfit, which campaigned the car in the French Tarmac Rally Championship in 2005. “New Zealand was a show of dominance even stronger than Australia the previous year. Grönholm and Rautiainen led from start to finish, adding 11 special stage wins to this Peugeot’s extraordinary tally.” This 206 WRC made one further appearance in the World Rally Championship in 2005: Rally Deutschland, under the Equipe de France FFSA banner. Since then, chassis C35 has contested a plethora of domestic tarmac events across Europe, including most recently the 2017 Rally Legend in Italy. We acquired chassis C35 towards the end of 2021 and, considering its historical significance, promptly set about a meticulous cosmetic restoration. Of this Peugeot’s three victories on the world stage, Rally New Zealand in 2003 was the most impressive, therefore that was the moment in time we decided to return the car to. That means refinishing chassis C35 in its signature Marlboro red, reinstating its factory livery including Marcus Grönholm’s number one roundels, and returning the car to full gravel specification. Not only is this magnificent World Rally car accompanied by its FIA Gold Book, which crucially verifies the 11 World Rally Championship rounds chassis C35 contested. Also included are paperwork documenting its French registration, copies of the original FIA homologation papers for the 206 WRC, an extensively researched Girardo & Co. history report and a great number of high-resolution photos of the car in action during its Works career, sourced from the Girardo & Co. Archive. Arguably the most impressive aspect of the bumper history file is the comprehensive documentation for all three rallies in which this Peugeot 206 WRC triumphed: Rally Australia and the Tour de Corse in 2002 and Rally New Zealand in 2003. With everything from driver pace notes, spectator guides, media itineraries and journalists’ first-hand notes to special stage timesheets, maps and manufacturer schedules, these are nostalgic and extraordinarily detailed snapshots of the world-famous events chassis C35 won. Today, this Peugeot 206 WRC Evo 2 stands as an ultra-significant piece of motorsport history – a car which contested the world’s most famous rallies on both hard and loose surfaces and won three of them. Not only did chassis 35 help Marcus Grönholm to clinch the second of his drivers’ titles, but it also played an instrumental role in two of Peugeot’s three consecutive World Rally Championship constructors’ victories. There is no doubting the Peugeot 206 WRC was the car to beat in rallying’s top flight for three seasons. We’re proud to offer one of the finest examples of the breed. Other Cars from Girardo & Co.

  • 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900CSS Touring

    When Alfa Romeo launched the 1900 series in 1950, the unique design and sporty package rapidly transformed this fast-moving company into a world leader with new demands for their cars. Having spent many years constructing hand-built cars, the expanding market called for a transition to more volume production methods. Paired with different gear ratios and “Alfin” self-adjusting rear brakes, these CSS (also referred to as Tipo 2 or Series II) cars evolved into formidable performers. Alfa Romeo achieved wins in the Targa Florio, the Stella Alpina and the Coupe des Alpes, proudly promoting “The Family Car That Wins Races”. Many of the finest Italian coachbuilders bodied the 1900 in a range of stunning configurations, further cementing the 1900 as one of the leading platforms among European cars of the 1950’s. As part of their decades-long partnership with Touring Coachworks, Alfa Romeo employed their patented Superleggera (super lightweight) construction using a rigid steel sub-structure enveloped by a light aluminum skin to form the stunning three-window coupe design. The light and airy upper canopy surrounded passengers in a sporty GT package, offering comfort and performance, with a stylish and fashionable interior. According to the Alfa Romeo Automobilismo Storico – Centro Ducumentatione certificate accompanying this car and signed by expert Marco Fazio, this matching numbers example was completed March 28, 1957, and sold July 9, 1958, to Societa per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo, Lugano Switzerland. The certificate also notes blue as the original color when delivered new as well as the engine numbered AR1900C*10482* which remains in the car today. Retained under Swiss ownership for more than 40 years, this Alfa Romeo was subsequently purchased by the next owner who embarked on the restoration shown today. At the time of purchase, the car was in very original condition, retaining the original engine, a rare 5-speed gearbox, the original twin 40 PII Solex carburetors, original bumpers, factory seats, and a very straight alloy body. The three-year restoration spanning 2018-2021, has been documented with numerous photos showing all removed parts as well as the removal of the entire alloy body (including the roof) from the Superleggera steel frame and body structure, stripping both metal and alloy body panels to bare finishes, and hand finishing the body shell for reinstallation. This process was of course labor intensive but important to address dissimilar metal electrolysis that often plagues cars with this unique lightweight construction. During this time, the steel substructure was finished and coated for reassembly while the interior was fully reupholstered in correct red and gray materials. The original matching numbers engine was removed, fully disassembled, rebuilt and refinished to original specifications. The rare 5-speed gearbox was also rebuilt as well as suspension, brakes, and electrical, with particular care to installation of correct original items including period correct Carello headlight lenses, plating, and refinishing for all bright work, beautifully restored gauges, and a rebuilt and very rare flat Nardi wood rim steering wheel. Upon completion, the car was represented by Fantasy Junction and sold in 2022 to the now consigning owner. The current owner used the car sparingly, electing to further sort the mechanical details with Alfa specialists in Florida. Work included a new wiper motor and wiper shaft mechanism and service for the gearbox output shaft and yoke. In April 2023, the engine and gearbox were removed, a new head gasket and new timing chain housing gasket were installed, the rear cover gasket and crankshaft rear seal were replaced, a new cork oil pan gasket installed, and the timing was reset along with dwell angle on the distributor. For the gearbox, a fifth gear secondary shaft was replaced, a new throwout bearing was installed, and the gearbox was reassembled and tested. Today this Alfa Romeo presents in excellent overall condition. The paint is glossy and smooth showing a few minor finish imperfections in the otherwise satisfying exterior finish which is suitable for enthusiasts who enjoy participating in touring events and local concours. A raised dimple on the right side of the trunk lid is evident, due to previous improper operator closure at some time in the past. The chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition with very good fit to the alloy body. The front grilles are in excellent condition, mounted with protective black gaskets against the body surface. The hard-to-find trim around the windshield shows a few imperfections, but generally is in good condition. The doors, hood, and trunk open and shut firmly with very nice panel fit overall. The Sekurit branded windshield is in very good condition and the door glass, both of which were recently replaced, are in excellent condition, though both sides show minor variation in fit to the upper trim line, when raised and snugged to the new weatherstripping. The lighting and lenses, including the glass Carello branded headlight lenses, are in excellent condition as are the Touring badges. Proper stamping marks are noted on the headlight trims and the small amber color taillights are not crazed or cracked. The car wears painted silver wire wheels with chrome plated dual ear knockoffs with front four-wheel triple-shoe cast alloy finned drum brakes. The interior is well done with attention to detail throughout and quality finishes. Presented in contrasting red with light grey cloth inserts, this color combination nicely offsets the deep blue exterior originally delivered when new. The overall interior has been handsomely composed since the restoration was completed and well cared for with only minor evidence of use and no significant wear as often found in typical areas. The dashboard and accompanying instruments are wonderfully laid out displaying fabulous Italian graphic design, color, and beautiful restoration, fronted by a restored and rare flat Nardi steering wheel. Overall, the interior is a handsome representation of the original Alfa Romeo design and excellence found in these beautiful coachbuilt road cars. The engine compartment has been thoughtfully prepared with correct factory finishes including a correctly finished cast alloy air intake plenum prepared with textured black and raised Alfa Romeo script, correct air filter canister, and matching cam covers finished in textured black. The clear, single strike AR1900C*10482* engine number stamping is consistent with the Fazzio letter declaring the original factory installed unit when new. The various accessories under the hood, including the correct original Solex carburetors, are quite nice overall, showing only minor signs of use since the restoration was completed, further benefiting from considerable sorting performed in April 2023. In all, the engine and engine compartment are visually balanced with the overall cosmetic condition and consistent with other aspects of the detailed restoration. The undercarriage shows no signs of structural compromise once again displaying condition and finishes indicating a body off restoration, including new leather rear axle retaining straps, correctly painted finishes, correct aluminum castings and magnesium oil case, finned aluminum drum brakes, fresh hardware, and proper fittings. On the road, this 1900 delivers a satisfying driving experience, further aided by sorting and adjustments prepared under the direction of the current owner. The engine starts easily and makes excellent power moving through the 5-speed gearbox. Suspension and general driving manners are impressive including effective brakes and a smooth operating clutch. Unlike many cars of this vintage, the driver and passenger sit comfortably, can engage in conversation, and access personal items, which can be conveniently stowed in the rear seating area. For vintage touring enjoyment, it is hard to beat a 1900 CSS for the combination of captivating interior design, elegant exterior coachwork, and twin-cam performance. This Alfa Romeo is accompanied by a digital file containing numerous photographs documenting the restoration and copies of recent engine and gearbox service invoices. This is a great opportunity to acquire a recently restored, matching numbers, Touring bodied Alfa Romeo with sound mechanical presentation and enjoyable visual presence. Distinguished by the 1957 model year, this Alfa Romeo is eligible for entry to prestigious events worldwide, often excluding 1958 and later model cars. The combination of elegance and performance, coupled with the contrasting red and grey interior makes this 1900 CSS a great event or show car. For those who admire handmade Italian coachwork, spacious interior accommodation, state of the art engineering, and exciting driving, this Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS will surely deliver on the promises of rewarding vintage GT ownership. 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900CSS Touring Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1954 Jaguar XK 120 drophead

    Toulon-born singer Gilbert Bécaud would have cut quite a dash in 1950s France at the wheel of his newly acquired Jaguar XK 120 drophead coupé. Having been part of the Resistance during World War Two, Bécaud became a songwriter in 1948 and started singing himself a few years later following encouragement from Edith Piaf. He was still in his 20s when he bought this XK 120 – which is now being offered for sale at the Classic Motor Hub – and it would have been the perfect choice for the stylish young performer. Chassis number 678351 was dispatched from the Browns Lane factory in Coventry on 27 May 1954, and sold new to Bécaud via Parisian distributor Charles Delecroix. It was delivered in Pastel Blue with a blue interior, and the accompanying Heritage Certificate states that it was fitted with engine number F3194-8, body number P2616 and gearbox number JL23094. As the 1950s progressed, Bécaud began acting and an English version of his song Je t’appartiens became a hit for the Everly Brothers. It would later be covered by the likes of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and Nina Simone, while another song of his, Et Maintenant, was recorded under the title What Now My Love by Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. The XK 120 was first registered in the UK in 1989. It was imported after being acquired by Trevor Scott-Worthington, who was ‘Total Quality Manager’ for Jaguar at the time, and kept the car for 19 years. Mr. Scott-Worthington had also set up Jaguar spares specialist Coventry Auto Components in 1969. Although the car was still attractive and driving well by 2016, the then- owner decided to commission a full restoration. The work was carried out by Clanfield Coachbuilding in Oxfordshire. The bodywork was stripped to bare metal and any repair sections were finished with traditional lead-loading – as would have been done at the factory. A full engine rebuild was carried out and a new clutch assembly fitted, while a specialist ash framer replaced any woodwork that was showing signs of deterioration. Inside, the seats were in good condition and had acquired a nice patina, so the decision was taken to leave them as they were. The rest of the interior was retrimmed, including new carpets and door cards, and the rare ivory steering wheel was retained as a nice touch of European chic from the car’s time in France. The restoration process took five years, and a full photographic record is part of the history file. Coopercraft front disc brakes and a five-speed gearbox are both popular modifications that make the XK 120 a much more useable proposition in modern conditions, and this drophead coupé is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. 1954 Jaguar XK 120 drophead The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1993-porsche-964-jubilee

    The Porsche 964 Jubilee is one of the most coveted limited editions to emerge from Zuffenhausen – a car produced in just 911 examples to celebrate the marque’s most iconic nameplate, and a cornerstone of any serious Porsche collection. This is number 4 of 911, making it among the very first to leave the factory – a distinction that places it in extraordinarily rare company and lends it a significance that transcends the already exceptional nature of the edition itself. Finished in Viola Metallic, one of the most striking and characterful colours of the air-cooled era, this example presents in 80% of its first and original paint, a testament to the care and preservation it has received throughout its life. The cabin is trimmed in black leather, retaining its original interior in a condition that reflects decades of conscientious ownership. With 56,300 kilometres on the clock – the lowest recorded mileage currently available on the market – the car has been used as any fine Porsche should be, yet remains in a state of preservation seldom encountered at this level. It was originally delivered in Luxemburg, and has just completed a comprehensive service in March 2026, ensuring it is mechanically prepared and ready to be enjoyed without reservation. This 964 Jubilee represents a confluence of rarity, originality and condition that is increasingly difficult to find. Number 4 of 911 does not come to market often – and when it does, it does not stay. 1993 Porsche 964 Jubilee AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport 3

    The weapon of choice for both well-heeled captains of industry and racing drivers alike, Alfa Romeo’s 6C 2500 was a study in understated elegance. Well-appointed and deceptively quick—especially in triple Weber Super Sport trim—the grand tourer proved a firm favourite for everyone from Prince Rainier of Monaco to the dashing Count Trossi, also finding favour with Hollywood starlets such as Rita Hayworth. The model was introduced just as Europe was spiralling towards war, a more technologically advanced replacement for the 6C 2300B and 8C that featured independent suspension at each corner. It would be the final Alfa Romeo to be sold with a separate chassis, with a number of Italian coachbuilders including Pinin Farina and Ghia putting their mark on the short-chassis Super Sport once production had restarted in 1945. Carrozzeria Touring’s take proved the most resolved and popular among sporting drivers, thanks in large part to its lightweight Superleggera body construction, with the second series of cars—boasting more pronounced flared wheel arches—accounting for around 120 examples. According to factory records, chassis 915657 was delivered to Carrozzeria Touring on 14 June 1948. Over the next eight months the Milanese coachbuilder clothed the car in a stunning second series Superleggera body, with the completed car leaving the busy workshops on Via Ludovico di Breme on 23 January 1949. The car was delivered to its first owner, Robert Setton, in Rome, Italy and was later exported to the United States, where it entered the collection of noted Alfisti Tom Segar of Boston, Massachusetts. The car was later referenced in the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Register as belonging to Donald McLellan during the 1970s, at which point it was finished in white over a brown interior and was described as in “rough but restorable condition”. It then passed through the hands of marque guru Peter Wessel, Investment Cars, Inc of Virginia Beach, Virginia and Rafin-Car S.r.l, before finding a home with Brescia-based enthusiast Dr. Massimo Montemezzi in 1995. In Montemezzi’s care the Alfa Romeo was said to have been subject to a five-year restoration that was ultimately seen through to completion by marque specialist H.D. Dambacher, prior to the current owner buying the car in March 2011. According to the consigning owner, engine assembly and testing was carried out by Aldo Zanone, retrimming by Autoselleria Brescia, while final assembly is said to have been carried out by Carrozzeria Grillo. During the rebuild, it is understood that many body components were found to be stamped with the car’s original body number, while an accompanying letter from noted Alfa Romeo collector, Siegfried Otto Hepp, states that the crankshaft stamping corresponds to the original engine number. Following the completion of its restoration, this striking two-tone 6C 2500 Super Sports has been used regularly in historic tours and events including a 2010 outing at the Mille Miglia Storica, signifying its eligibility for perhaps the greatest of all historic road rallies. This significant machine would also be welcome at the world’s leading concours events. 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1971-ferrari-365-gtb4-daytona-nart-spider-by-michelotti

    By the mid-1970s, the worldwide trend in sports car design had evolved from the curvaceous and flowing shapes of post-war air tunnels to the air-splitting power of aggressive, crisp geometric shapes—what would famously become known as the “wedge” era. Always at the leading edge, Ferrari itself began evolving wedge-shaped designs, while in the United States, Luigi Chinetti, the US importer and North American Racing Team (NART) principal, commissioned his own iterations. In the mid-1970s Chinetti ordered no fewer than five 365 GTB/4 Daytonas to be rebodied by Giovanni Michelotti—each individually built with myriad distinguishing details, but sharing an angular, blade-like shark-nose motif, with a single unwavering beltline from nose to tail. They were, in many senses, the most aggressive Daytonas ever built. Chassis number 14299, the first of three Michelotti Spiders configured for Chinetti to roadgoing specifications, was based on a standard 365 GTB/4 coupe with air conditioning and power steering. It was originally delivered to a favored Chinetti client by the name of Dr. Silva. In the mid-1970s Chinetti took the car back on trade, and in 1976 sent it to Michelotti. It was finished in a unique two-tone livery of dark blue over gray, with an orange-hued leather interior incorporating the original Veglia Borletti gauges, five-spoke alloy wheels, tan soft top, and body-color removable hardtop. Chinetti took delivery of the NART Spider, as he dubbed it, in 1977, and promptly gifted it to his wife, Marion, whose name was emblazoned on the beltline of each door. Three years later he loaned the “Marion Spider” back to Michelotti, who presented it on his stand at the 1980 Turin Motor Show, after which the car was exhibited for two years in the Le Mans Museum at France, followed by a 1984 appearance at the La Baule Concours d’Elegance. By the time that the Spider returned stateside in 1985, Mrs. Chinetti had passed away, and so her husband chose to sell her car. It was acquired by Los Angeles-based dealer Marty Yacobian, who presented it at the Palm Springs Concours d’Elegance in 1986. Yacobian sold the Ferrari in 1990 to a dealer in Florida, from whom it passed to Marv Tonkin, brother of the well-known Ron Tonkin, and finally in 1991 to acclaimed Ferrari collector Jon Shirley. Among the best-known tifosi for decades, Mr. Shirley is well-known for his renowned stable, which for some years included virtually all the great Ferrari models, including the first Ferrari to win Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The “Marion Spider” remained part of his collection for 22 years, and late in his ownership was certified by Ferrari Classiche with an Attestation of Historical Interest, an honor bestowed upon cars deemed to possess important competition or show history subsequent to when they were first sold by Ferrari. The same document confirms that the car regains its original 365 GTB/4 chassis and engine, while the gearbox is a replacement stamped by Classiche. In August 2013 the car was acquired by another prominent Ferrari collector, in whose hands it appeared at the Cavallino Classic in January 2014, winning an award for Design Distinction, as well as at several other Eastern events. In this ownership it was not just, as they say, a pretty face, as it also accrued some 3,000 miles of rally use, including in the Copperstate 1000! Finally it was purchased by the consignor, a longtime enthusiast who for decades has gathered some of the most extraordinary Ferraris, in the summer of 2019. A unique glimpse of Michelotti’s interpretation of the famed Daytona and a vision of, literally, the future of Italian design, the “Marion Spider” is steeped in the provenance of the famed Luigi Chinetti and the revered Jon Shirley. With only about 6,000 miles recorded since its 1976 completion, it is sure to draw attention at future events and concours, where its sublime styling will be the head-turner it was at Turin and Le Mans. 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona NART Spider by Michelotti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 2

    Having covered less than 4000 miles since undergoing a comprehensive restoration, this beautifully presented Jaguar E-type Series 1 is now nicely run-in and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Chassis number 888791 was built on 5 June 1963 as a left-hand-drive fixed-head coupé and dispatched to New York on 14 June. It was finished in Opalescent Golden Sand with Tan interior, and its first owner was recorded as being RL Mytincer. Paperwork in the history file shows that the E-type was in Virginia by 1980 and it was still there in 2013. Two years later, it was sold to Northern Jaguar in Harrogate and shipped back across the Atlantic. In January 2016, it then passed to a new owner in south-east England. The Jaguar was in need of a complete rebuild, which took place over the next few years. The E-type was stripped all the way back to a bare shell and the cost of the bodywork restoration alone was more than £40,000. The 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine was rebuilt by renowned specialist Classic Motor Cars in Bridgnorth and the standard four-speed Moss gearbox was replaced by a five-speed unit – a popular and sensible modification among E-type owners. The braking system was also upgraded, as were the cooling system and fuel pump, and a smaller steering wheel was fitted. An immobiliser was installed and the car’s electrical system was converted to negative earth. The interior was fully retrimmed in dark red leather and a right-hand-drive conversion was carried out, and the owner even went to the trouble of putting together a full tool kit. All of the invoices from the rebuild have been retained in the substantial history file, and there is also an extensive photographic record of the work. More than £100,000 was spent on the bodywork, engine, interior and chrome – a total that doesn’t include further expenditure such as the new brakes and wheels. The 3.8-litre Series 1 FHC is one of the most desirable variants from throughout the Jaguar E-type’s long production run, and this car is offered for sale in exceptional condition thanks to its painstaking restoration. With a series of well-chosen modifications, it is now perfectly suited to the sort of fast touring for which the E-type was always intended. MODEL HISTORY Having stunned the motoring world in 1948 with the introduction of the XK 120, Jaguar did it again when it launched the E-type at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. Beneath its beautifully curvaceous Malcolm Sayer-designed bodywork was a layout that owed much to the Le Mans-winning D-type. That car’s layout of a central monocoque structure with a front subframe for the engine was retained for the E-type, which replaced the D-type’s live rear axle with independent suspension all round. With the marque having pioneered the use of disc brakes in the early 1950s, it came as no surprise that the E-type featured them on all four wheels. The new model was introduced with the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, straight-six engine from the outgoing XK 150 S and early road tests produced a sensational top speed of 150mph – at a time when 100mph was still a significant figure. When John Bolster tested a pre-production E-type for Autosport, he wrote that it was ‘capable of whispering along in top gear at 10mph or leaping into its 150mph stride on the brief depression of a pedal. A practical touring car, this… yet it has a sheer beauty of line which easily beats the Italians at their own particular game.’ Production of the roadster and FHC slowly ramped up through 1961, with early cars also scoring some notable competition success. Updates came thick and fast as Jaguar struggled to keep up with demand. In 1962, the ‘flat floors’ were modified in order to provide the driver with more room around the pedals, and in late 1964 the engine was enlarged to 4.2 litres. At the same time, a Jaguar gearbox with synchromesh on all four speeds replaced the previous Moss gearbox. A long-wheelbase 2+2 model was added to the range in 1966, and the heavily revised Series 2 followed in 1968. The V12-engined Series 3 then took the E-type through to the end of its run in 1975, when the model was replaced by the XJ-S. 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
