  • 1959 Ferrari 410 Superamerica

    Like a fine wine or a mellowed whiskey, some car models only improve with age. Such is the case with the Ferrari Superamerica, which developed through two iterations before a third series was introduced at the 1958 Paris Salon. Substantially different than the first two variants, the Series III Superamerica was built on a revised 2,600-millimeter wheelbase chassis with a widened track, designated as the type 514A. Into this athletic frame, Maranello’s engineers dropped a further development of Aurelio Lampredi’s Le Mans-winning tall-block 4.9-liter V-12, now classified as the type 126A/58. This retuned engine was equipped with outside spark plugs (predating the more famous outside-plug 250 GT engine by some six months), huge racing-specification Weber 46 DCF/3 carburetors, and polished billet connecting rods (a feature only found elsewhere on the 250 Testa Rossa and 250 GTO racecars). Now developing 400 horsepower, 40 horsepower more than the outgoing Series II cars, the revised engine was capable of propelling the Series III to an extraordinary top speed of 165 mph. Such power required further mechanical refinement, so the Series III SA received a revised gearbox and massive 15.7-inch diameter Alfin front brake drums. Borrowed from the Scuderia racecars, these were the largest drums ever featured on a grand touring Ferrari. But despite all these mechanical advances, the most striking difference between the latest Superamerica and its predecessors was the new model’s updated Pinin Farina coachwork. Commencing with a covered-headlamp front-end treatment reminiscent of the concurrent 250 GT California Spider, including a decorated hood scoop and elongated finned fender vents, the design proceeded through an airy cabin with triple-vent sail panels suggestive of the 250 GT Tour de France berlinettas, and concluded in a formal tail reminiscent of the 250 GT Pinin Farina Coupe. This unique combination of Pinin Farina design cues firmly eschewed the prior SA’s dated 1950s styling while foreshadowing the coachwork motifs that would appear across Maranello’s model range during the early 1960s. Just 12 examples of the final 410 Superamerica were built before the model was replaced by the 400 Superamerica (which featured a redesigned, smaller-displacement engine, making the Series III 410 SA the most highly developed version of the legendary Lampredi racing engine). As such, the third-series 410 examples represent the ultimate development of Maranello’s vintage large-displacement luxury touring cars, encapsulating bespoke exclusivity and top-shelf performance. CHASSIS NUMBER 1305 SA: A VIRTUAL ONE-OFF Claiming rarity, important ownership history, and a top-quality restoration performed by RM Auto Restoration, this stunning third-series 410 Superamerica is one of the finest examples one could hope to encounter. According to factory build sheet copies and the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 1305 SA is the fourth of 12 examples built, and one of only seven cars fitted with covered headlights. The chassis was dispatched to Pinin Farina’s workshop in February 1959 to be clothed with a unique expression of the third-series coachwork that included covered headlights and special tail lamps requiring differently shaped fenders (a taillamp design believed to be shared with only one other car). Completed in May 1959, the Ferrari was finished in the unusual shade of Nero Tropicale IVI over an interior of Naturale 3218 Connolly leather upholstery. The car is the only covered-headlamp example to be painted in this elegant color. After being distributed to Garage de Montchoisy SA, an official Ferrari dealer in Switzerland, the Superamerica was sold in June 1959 to an American residing in Geneva named Griffin. The owner only mildly used the 410 through 11 years of ownership, eventually selling the car in 1970 to Hans Maag of Renens. Later that year the Swiss dealer and motoring author Rob de la Rive Box purchased 1305 SA, and he brokered a deal in 1971 to the respected American Ferrari connoisseur and FCA co-founder Richard Merritt of Bethesda, Maryland. Merritt sold the Superamerica a year later to Wisconsin resident Tom Viltner, who retained possession for four years. In 1976 the Ferrari was acquired by John Hajduk, whose well-known shop Motorkraft, in Bensenville, Illinois, was one of the most esteemed American Ferrari restoration specialists of the era. Mr. Hajduk conducted a full refurbishment of the Superamerica, including a repaint in dark green with yellow striping. After passing through two additional caretakers, the Superamerica was sold in 1982 to George and Rosella Wamser of Bloomington, Illinois, longtime members of the local Ferrari Club of America chapter. The Wamsers enjoyed the 410 for nearly two decades, frequently presenting the car at Midwestern FCA meets through the 1980s and early 1990s, and during this period the car was also featured in Dyke Ridgley’s 1983 monograph Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series III, an essential source on these rare Ferraris. A digital copy of the book is included in the car’s documentation. After passing in the late 1990s to enthusiast Dennis Machul of Oak Brook, Illinois, 1305 SA was sold to a major international collector who kept the car domiciled for nearly two decades before offering it for sale in August 2017. Acquired then by the consignor, the Ferrari was treated to a comprehensive restoration to original specifications by the Pebble Beach-winning RM Auto Restoration of Blenheim, Canada. The engine was sympathetically freshened after being tested and deemed to not require a full teardown, while all the major running-gear systems were rebuilt as needed. The coachwork was refinished in the factory-correct shade of Nero Tropicale, and the interior was properly re-trimmed in beige Naturale leather, returning the car to its original color combination. In a testament to the SA’s highly authentic state of originality, Pinin Farina body number markings were discovered on numerous components throughout the car, including the bumpers, behind the door panels, and on various trim pieces. On the back of the fastidious restoration, the Superamerica won its class at the 2020 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Nine months later the 410 was certified with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book that testifies to the continued presence of the matching-numbers engine, gearbox, and rear axle, demonstrating the car’s highly desirable mechanical authenticity. Concours success continued at the 2021 Cavallino Classic, where the SA received a Platinum Award as well as the Robert Tallgren Memorial Elegance Cup for the finest coach-built Ferrari, and the Honorary Judges’ Cup for the finest judged Ferrari selected by the Honorary Judges. The Superamerica’s exquisite state of correct presentation was further confirmed with a 100-point score and best of show at the 2023 Cavallino Modena, and best of show at the Concours d’Elegance Suisse held at the Chateau in Coppet, Switzerland. As one of just 12 Series III cars built, 1305 SA is as rare as it is elegant—a striking, luxurious, and muscular machine that would complement even the most nuanced sports car collection. Further distinguished as one of just seven cars fitted with covered headlamps, and the only example among these finished in Nero Tropicale IVI, this Series III Superamerica is a quintessential example of Ferrari’s flagship model, representing the finest cross-section of competition-developed engineering and luxurious grand touring sensibilities. The timelessly elegant Italian thoroughbred is ideal for further display at major concours and marque gatherings, or it may be privately enjoyed for its powerful acceleration and exquisite curves, a breathtaking jewel to be admired and driven. 1959 Ferrari 410 Superamerica RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1993-lotus-carlton

    The Car Barn are very pleased to offer this beautiful Lotus Carlton for sale. Build No 861. It was first registered in April 1993 and sold by Monorep Vauxhall in Luton. It is believed to be the 3rd last Lotus Carlton sold in the UK. The reputation of the Lotus Carlton is been written about for years, and with a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 177mph it's still a very fast car today! The servicing on our car was initially done by Monorep Vauxhall before being looked after by Pentagon Vauxhall until 1999. It then moved to Northern Ireland in 2003 it was then used sparingly until it came back into the UK in 2010 when it was put in a private collection and wasn't driven until we purchased the vehicle a couple of years ago. We have given the car a full mechanical overhaul in our workshops and also arranged for a full bare metal respray to be completed. It looks fantastic as you can see by the photos. Jonathon's comments 'When we got offered the chance to buy a Lotus Carlton we couldn't turn it down. We initially planned to do a mechanical check over and then sell it as is but after looking at the car again we decided she needed to get the full treatment and we sent her off for a respray. It's been a labour of love over the last few years but now I'm very pleased to have her in the Car Barn ready to find a new custodian!' 1993 Lotus Carlton Car Barn If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1970-alpine-renault-a110-1300-g

    This Alpine A110 1300 G was desirably specified with the optional front-mounted radiator and an additional central fuel tank for greater driving range. Furthermore, the exterior is thought to have been painted in the rarely seen Jaune Rédélé, a shade of yellow named for Alpine’s founder. Supplied as a demonstrator for the Cros de Cagne dealership, the car was sold to the first owner—amateur rally driver Fancois Orlandini of Nice—with the licence plate “501 RP 06”. Entered in Group 4 events for Écurie Jean Behra, the A110 debuted on 9 September 1970 at the Course de Cote Gourdon Caussols. In early November 1970, Orlandini contested the Tour Ile de Beauté—the support race for the Tour de Corse—reserved for drivers holding a “National” licence. A week later, he finished 8th overall in the Critérium 83 rally. For 1971, the Alpine was repainted in more traditional metallic blue before Orlandini entered the Junior Monte Carlo Rally. From eight special stages around Nice and 65 competitors, Orlandini scored a 2nd-place result. Competing in the final edition of the Coupe des Alpes in June 1971, Orlandini suffered an accident during the first stage to force retirement. The Alpine was sold and passed through various French custodians before being acquired by the previous owner, who undertook a major restoration to return this A110 to its former glory. The polyester skin was replaced, but the chassis and tub were retained. Significant time was spent to source period-correct components, and the car was refinished in the striking shade of Jaune Rédélé. Offered with a report from marque historian Gilles Valerian, the Alpine is accompanied by copies of entry forms and historic imagery. A wonderful example, with period competition history and boasting rare factory optional extras, this A110 is sure to attract attention from collectors and enthusiasts. 1970 Alpine-Renault A110 1300 G RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1988 Lotus Esprit X180

    The Esprit's 1987 redesign (X180) was the work of Peter Stevens and, whilst it retained the basic creativity behind the original Giorgetto Giugiaro design, it featured rounder, smoother lines, which helped to reduce the drag coefficient to only 0.33. Initially, two models were available the Esprit Turbo at £29,995 and the Normally Aspirated Esprit at £22,995.They were visually indistinguishable externally apart from some minor detail differences The NA was powered by a 2174cc in-line 4-cylinder generating 172bhp/163lb.ft and offering 0-60 in 5.5 seconds This smart example is finished in Calypso Red and features a tilting and removable sunroof and electric windows. Purchased by our vendor three years ago from a collector and supplied with the original owner’s handbook, stamped service record, an extensive file of invoices and previous MOT Certificates supporting the current indicated mileage Recorded maintenance includes a new clutch at 58,000 miles, new manifold struts at 64,000 miles, and a cam belt at 67,000 miles Attention during current ownership includes a full carb rebuild, water pump rebuild, electric window motors replaced, and headlight motor repaired.

  • 1981-lotus-esprit-turbo-essex-commemorative

    One of only seven surviving Essex Petroleum-liveried Lotus Esprit Turbos in excellent condition. This is an outstanding Commemorative example of the flamboyant Formula One sponsorship deal fashioned by Colin Chapman and the equally enigmatic David Theime of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation The press launch in October 1980 raised the bar in sponsorship profile terms with the association introducing high glamour, high spending and an innovative approach to team hospitality. The Lotus F1 liveries of Elio De Angelis and Mario Andretti were to become one of the all-time most iconic colour schemes in Formula 1 history Offered here is chassis #17 of only twenty-two Essex Esprits built and it still presents with the same level of 'wow' factor that it did 45 years ago The paintwork is superb with a stunning all red leather interior and aircraft-style centre roof console housing switchgear and the Panasonic stereo, and it still retains its original extra wide split-rim Compomotive alloys The history file is comprehensive to say the least and commensurate to a Lotus as significant as this. Supplied new by Lotus Main Dealers Randles of Stoke-on-Trent to a Mr. D Preston, it contains the original owner’s wallet and service book, original brochures, Lotus archive correspondence and the current MOT valid until January 2027 Most recent work carried out in November 2024 included a full brake overhaul including callipers, turbo wastegate, drive belts, reset cam and ignition timing and spark plugs 1981 Lotus Esprit Turbo Essex Commemorative Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1991 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Facelift Convertible

    This exquisite 1991 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Facelift Convertible, boasting an exceptionally low mileage of just 26,000 miles since its inception. Dressed in a striking Regency Red exterior, complemented by a Magnolia Leather Interior, this XJS was initially delivered by HA Fox Jaguar of Nottingham. It comes with a comprehensive history file that includes numerous invoices, photographs from previous owners, and even handwritten letters detailing their enjoyment of this remarkable vehicle. Recently, the XJS has undergone meticulous paintwork to ensure it remains in 'top condition' and is ready for enjoyment or even to compete in concours events. The specifications feature Lattice Alloy Wheels, a Full Leather Interior, an Electric Hood, Electric Seats with Memory Function, Electric Windows, Heated Seats, Air Conditioning, a Tonneau Cover for the Hood, Power Steering, and more. An extensive collection of paperwork accompanies the vehicle, along with spare keys and original book packs. The Facelift rear lights exhibit no signs of wear, which is often seen in Facelift XJS models. This XJS is primed for enjoyment and must be seen to be fully appreciated. The documentation indicates it has been owned by several members of the Jaguar Enthusiast Club, who have used it sparingly for leisurely drives.

  • 1970 Porsche 911 E

    Only 993 Porsche 911 with the 2.2 litre 6-cylinder boxer engine, mechanical fuel injection, 155 hp and targa coachwork left the works in 1970. Our example is one of those rare cars of the C series and was first registered on the 28th of February 1970. In the rather rare combination of “Condagreen” with a black fabric/vinyl interior and the 15-inch Fuchs rims this 911 is the perfect example of a late 60s, early 70s sports car. Several years ago, the interior of the targa was restored and recently it received a restoration to the coachwork including a complete repaint in its original colour. Receipts for all this work are available and will be handed over with the car. In 2023, the car was taken by the vendor in Holland and then imported into Germany. The 911 is in very good condition with the engine running faultlessly and the 5-speed gearbox shifting without any issues. The car has German documents on H-plates and Swiss customs duties have so far not been settled. For a Swiss buyer the car will be properly imported and MOT'd after the sale. 1970 Porsche 911 E Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1958 BMW 507 Series 2

    Renowned New York importer Max Hoffman, much like with the Porsche 356 Speedster and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, played a pivotal role in the creation of the beautiful 507 Roadster. Spotting a gap in the market, he leaned on BMW to build a less expensive rival to Mercedes-Benz’s offering. The resulting cruiser, which was beautifully styled by Count Albrecht Goertz and equipped with a 3.2-litre alloy V-8 engine paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, ranks as possibly the most desirable design ever to emerge wearing the famous roundel badge. With BMW believed to have lost money on ever car sold, just 252 examples were built during a production run that lasted between 1956 and 1959. Correspondence with BMW reveals that chassis 70136, offered here, holds a 5 May 1958 production date. As one of just 218 examples of the updated Series II model, it benefits from improved cabin and luggage space. Finished originally in the shade Altelfenbein (old ivory), this 507 Roadster is believed to have been initially displayed at the BMW Pavillon in Munich before being imported to the Cuban capital Havana on 7 June 1958. Although the complete history thereafter is not known, the car moved to Germany in the mid-1980s before being purchased by the consignor in 1988. Soon after, a six-year restoration was embarked upon. The owner reports that Munich-based marque specialist Brummer carried out the mechanical overall, while the bodywork was tended to by Hagl in Attenkirchen, Bavaria (supporting photos available on request). The total price for the work is said to have amounted to 560,000 Deutsche Mark. Presented today in black, with matching centre-lock Rudge wheels and folding soft-top roof, the interior is trimmed with grey upholstery. A correct-type 3,168-cc V-8 is currently installed, although chassis 70136 is notably accompanied by its matching-numbers engine stamped 40147. The car is further complemented by a rare colour-matching hard-top roof, plus spare fuel tank, and its owner’s guides. Famously owned by the likes of Elvis Presley, John Surtees, Bernie Ecclestone, and Ursula Andress, the BMW 507 Roadster is among the most glamorous automotive creations of all time. Chassis 70136, offered following some 36 years of ownership, is now ready to star as part of a new collection. 1958 BMW 507 Series 2 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1963 Aston Martin DB4 'SS Engine' Series V Convertible

    With its introduction in 1958, the DB4 model advanced Aston Martin into the future. Entirely new from the ground-up, a rigid steel platform chassis was created and fitted with all-around disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front suspension. Celebrated engineer Tadek Marek conceived an all-new inline six-cylinder twin-cam engine with aluminum block and head. All this was clad with a striking fastback body fabricated in aluminum alloy and designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan using their vaunted Superleggera (super light) principle of wrapping lightweight panels around a taut, small-diameter steel tube skeleton—imbuing the Superleggera package with remarkable rigidity—while the sensational styling would set the tone for Aston Martin for many years to come. Over its five-year production run, Aston Martin continuously refined the DB4, with the Aston Martin Owners Club now separating the model into five distinct series. Upgrades to successive series included subtle body modifications such as round, recessed rear lights, a flatter bonnet scoop, and a new, slatted grille, in addition to many mechanical refinements. Perhaps the most notable evolution occurred in 1961, when Aston Martin allowed customers to specify the Special Series, or “SS,” engine. This engine, as offered with the DB4 Vantage, was fitted with triple SU carburetors, larger valves, and a compression ratio of 9:1, among other high-performance, race-proven modifications. The resulting SS engine was quoted as developing 266 brake horsepower at 5,750 rpm, a useful increase compared to the standard engine output of 240 brake horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Later in 1961, Aston Martin unveiled their elegant convertible version of the DB4. Just 70 examples of the DB4 convertible would ultimately be produced, making it one of the rarest production cars in Aston Martin’s history. The high-specification DB4 convertible on offer here, chassis number DB4C/1082/L, certainly stands out as a special outlier among these already-exclusive vehicles. Built 21 September 1962 and dispatched a few days later to California Aston Martin distributor Peter Satori of Los Angeles, this DB4 Convertible is one of 33 examples equipped with the uprated SS engine—but one of just eight Series V examples with left-hand drive, and the only one to be finished in the stunning livery of Black Pearl over Red leather. Following its arrival in the US, DB4C/1082/L was displayed at the 1963 Los Angeles International Motor Show before being sold to its first owner, listed as the Wheeldex Simpla Corporation of Los Angeles. (Wheeldex Simpla is perhaps best known as inventors of the Simplawheel, a precursor to the Rolodex.) The car is believed to have remained in California through its next recorded owner, Forrest Moore of Aptos, California, who acquired it in the late 1970s. In the mid-1990s Moore commissioned a restoration by award-winning Aston Martin specialist Kevin Kay of Redding, California, during which the car was refinished in green. Photo documentation of this work is available. Shortly after completion, the DB4 was brokered by Aston Martin collector Eric Jeffries of Cincinnati, Ohio who sold it via Bob Fountain of The Aston Workshop in the United Kingdom at the Techno Classica Essen Exhibition. The next recorded owners were T.J. Bahr, followed by Wolfgang G. Koehne, both of Germany. In 2008, the car was acquired by a prominent collection in the Middle East; next, in early 2022, it was purchased by the consignor, who commissioned a full restoration with the noted firm Classic Motor Cars of Shropshire, UK. The fresh restoration (also photo-documented) commenced with stripping the car to its bare shell and refinishing the chassis in correct red oxide before beginning an exhaustive refurbishing and reassembly process. This work included new suspension components, brakes, and complete electrical renewal. Marque specialists Oselli Ltd. of Milton Keynes, UK were tasked with rebuilding the car’s numbers-matching Special Series engine. During the rebuild, the cylinders were bored to accommodate larger pistons, increasing the engine’s displacement to 4.2-liters, a popular upgrade delivering increased power. And finally, the DB4’s body was finished in its-factory correct Black Pearl, while the interior was trimmed with genuine Red Connolly Vaumol leather hides and grey Wilton wool carpets. The Borrani-style wheels have been shod with new Avon Turbosteel tires. The sale is accompanied by a copy of its factory build sheet, tool roll with period tools, jack and hammer, plus a rare leather-bound owner’s manual with both convertible and Special Series supplemental pages. In addition, a factory sales brochure and event program from the 1963 Los Angeles Motor Show are included. With its impressive performance and stunning Touring-designed coachwork, the Aston Martin DB4 is among the most coveted of all British sports and GT cars, held by many aficionados to be the “connoisseur’s choice” within the DB4/5/6 lineage. This superb example wears a concours-quality restoration and is powered by its number-matching Special Series engine. As such this rare and highly specified convertible offers a truly unrepeatable opportunity to acquire and enjoy what is certainly among the finest specimens available in the world today. 1963 Aston Martin DB4 SS Engine Convertible RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright With its introduction in 1958, the DB4 model advanced Aston Martin into the future. Entirely new from the ground-up, a rigid steel platform chassis was created and fitted with all-around disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front suspension. Celebrated engineer Tadek Marek conceived an all-new inline six-cylinder twin-cam engine with aluminum block and head. All this was clad with a striking fastback body fabricated in aluminum alloy and designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan using their vaunted Superleggera (super light) principle of wrapping lightweight panels around a taut, small-diameter steel tube skeleton—imbuing the Superleggera package with remarkable rigidity—while the sensational styling would set the tone for Aston Martin for many years to come. Over its five-year production run, Aston Martin continuously refined the DB4, with the Aston Martin Owners Club now separating the model into five distinct series. Upgrades to successive series included subtle body modifications such as round, recessed rear lights, a flatter bonnet scoop, and a new, slatted grille, in addition to many mechanical refinements. Perhaps the most notable evolution occurred in 1961, when Aston Martin allowed customers to specify the Special Series, or “SS,” engine. This engine, as offered with the DB4 Vantage, was fitted with triple SU carburetors, larger valves, and a compression ratio of 9:1, among other high-performance, race-proven modifications. The resulting SS engine was quoted as developing 266 brake horsepower at 5,750 rpm, a useful increase compared to the standard engine output of 240 brake horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Later in 1961, Aston Martin unveiled their elegant convertible version of the DB4. Just 70 examples of the DB4 convertible would ultimately be produced, making it one of the rarest production cars in Aston Martin’s history. The high-specification DB4 convertible on offer here, chassis number DB4C/1082/L, certainly stands out as a special outlier among these already-exclusive vehicles. Built 21 September 1962 and dispatched a few days later to California Aston Martin distributor Peter Satori of Los Angeles, this DB4 Convertible is one of 33 examples equipped with the uprated SS engine—but one of just eight Series V examples with left-hand drive, and the only one to be finished in the stunning livery of Black Pearl over Red leather. Following its arrival in the US, DB4C/1082/L was displayed at the 1963 Los Angeles International Motor Show before being sold to its first owner, listed as the Wheeldex Simpla Corporation of Los Angeles. (Wheeldex Simpla is perhaps best known as inventors of the Simplawheel, a precursor to the Rolodex.) The car is believed to have remained in California through its next recorded owner, Forrest Moore of Aptos, California, who acquired it in the late 1970s. In the mid-1990s Moore commissioned a restoration by award-winning Aston Martin specialist Kevin Kay of Redding, California, during which the car was refinished in green. Photo documentation of this work is available. Shortly after completion, the DB4 was brokered by Aston Martin collector Eric Jeffries of Cincinnati, Ohio who sold it via Bob Fountain of The Aston Workshop in the United Kingdom at the Techno Classica Essen Exhibition. The next recorded owners were T.J. Bahr, followed by Wolfgang G. Koehne, both of Germany.

    The Opel GT was manufactured between 1968 and 1973. The majority of the vehicles produced were delivered to the USA. The Opel GT was initially built in the GT 1100 and GT 1900 variants. The more powerful version with 90 hp and a top speed of almost 190 km/h was particularly sought-after. The GT model was the dream of an entire generation of motorists. The sporty lines and folding headlights made the vehicle a style icon even back then. Opel advertised provocatively in the 1970s with the title ‘Only flying is more beautiful’ and received a great deal of applause from the trade press. The Opel GT presented here impresses with its exceptionally well-preserved originality. The body substance is sensationally well-kept and the paintwork is still original throughout. A few years ago, the car returned to Germany from Switzerland and was part of a high-calibre collection in the Stuttgart area for many years. A unique opportunity to acquire an Opel GT in sensational original condition with a total mileage of just 86,091 kilometres. 1969 Opel GT 1900 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
