- 1957-bmw-507-series-ii
Originally the brainchild of Vienna-born, New York-based automotive impresario Max Hoffman, the BMW 507 represented a concerted attempt by Milbertshofen to re-establish themselves as a major player in the burgeoning luxury and sports car market of the mid-1950s. BMW’s pre-war commercial and sporting success had been predominantly European in focus, and largely underpinned by models such as the 315/1, 319/1 and 328. However, it was evident that the automotive landscape had changed significantly since 1939, and that the United States would be critical to the company’s future expansion plans. Significantly, Hoffman was credited as being the single most influential component in the US-European automobile import/ export equation of the 1950s, having operated as exclusive Jaguar importer for the US from 1948 until 1952 and thereafter in a similar role for Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. His success in driving US-bound exports for all three manufacturers was central to BMW’s decision to proceed with the 507, although the need to avoid a potential pricing conflict with the former’s 356 Speedster and the latter’s 300 SL would prove critical. However, if this could be achieved, Hofmann was confident that demand for the 507 would stretch to thousands of units a year; the majority being destined for the US market. In employing an all-aluminum Type-507/1 3.2-litre V8 engine derived from the incumbent 501 and 502 Saloon range–and a shortened and strengthened version of the 2+2 503’s chassis frame–BMW were able to make use of existing tooling and components, although such relatively mundane underpinnings contrasted starkly with the extravagantly rakish aluminum bodywork styled by Albrecht von Goertz. Invaluable input from BMW mainstays Fritz Fiedler and Alex von Falkenhausen ensured that the car was exquisitely engineered, but from the outset it became apparent that BMW’s estimated production costs were wildly optimistic–thereby leading to an unexpectedly inflated selling price. Popular reaction to the car at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show proved overwhelmingly positive, but the eventual US sales price of over $9,000 approached double the figure of $5,000 initially suggested by Hoffman. Remarkably, this also equated to more than double the price of a comparable Jaguar XK, and exceeded even the cost of a 300 SL; a car by now well-established stateside, and against which the 507 was now competing directly. Significantly, with a 0-60 time of over 11 seconds and a top speed of a mere 122 mph, the 507 proved markedly slower than the 300 SL; the latter recording corresponding figures of 138 mph and 7.7 seconds respectively. Remarkably–and in stark contrast to combined 300 SL Gullwing and Roadster production of some 3,258 cars–just 252 507s would be constructed between 1956 and 1959. Of these, the first 34 were retrospectively designated Series I cars, with the subsequent 218 chassis termed Series II. Although the model’s relatively modest power output of 150 horsepower remained substantially unchanged between series, later cars benefitted from a reduction in fuel tank size from 110 to 66 liters–affording a commensurate increase in trunk capacity–while also benefitting from an improved dashboard layout, greater seat adjustment and the introduction of a cabin rear parcel shelf. According to a BMW Classic Zertifikat on file, the 507 presented here is a Series II example that was completed by BMW in October of 1957. Several months later, it was delivered new to its first owner, Abraham Eckert of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, just northeast of Philadelphia. While its early life is not known, the car would eventually make its way back to Europe, and it was registered in the Netherlands as of 1995. By 2013, the car was owned by F.H. Breeman of Rotterdam and that same year it was purchased by Ulrich Berberich-Martini and imported to Germany. The owner of Martini Garage in Helibronn, the 507 was subject to a full restoration in its current colors of Graphite Gray Metallic over a beige interior alongside a contrasting hardtop finished in Feather White, with work being carried out by them from 2014 to 2015. An email on file from Uli Berberich-Martini states that the cost of the car’s restoration was approximately €350,000 and an album of photos from the restoration is included in the history file. Acquired by a U.S.-based collector in 2015, the car would remain with him in Europe for a few months of use in Italy prior to being shipped to the United States. Maintained there by that owner’s in-house mechanic, it was driven sparling and shown just once at the 2017 Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance. Sold to the current custodian one year later, the 507 still remains in wonderful condition throughout today and presents beautifully in its current color combination which exudes class and sophistication throughout. Far rarer than its period rival from Mercedes-Benz, the 300 SL Roadster, the 507 is unequivocally the most desirable BMW of the era and remained a halo car for the company for years, inspiring the Z8 in some four decades later. Beautifully restored in stunning colors, this 507 would be a centerpiece of any collection and all it needs is its next custodian. 1957 BMW 507 Series II RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1967-maserati-sebring-3500-gti-series-ii
Maserati unveiled the Sebring in March 1962 at the Geneva Motor Show. After 348 examples of the first series had been built, Maserati introduced a lightly revised second series in 1965 with a new headlamp arrangement and chrome louvres on the front wings, of which only 247 examples were built. The Maserati Sebring 3500 GTI Series II is one of the rarest Gran Turismo coupés of the 1960s. This car from the second series was delivered with the 3.5-litre engine and Lucas fuel injection. According to the surviving Maserati certificate, the car was completed in March 1966 and travelled to the USA before later returning to Europe. The current owner acquired the car in 2015 and it has since been part of this high-calibre Maserati collection. Chassis and engine numbers match, meaning the car has matching number. It presents itself in an outstanding, partially restored original condition with an attractive colour scheme, documented by a Maserati certificate. 1967 Maserati Sebring 3500 GTI Series II Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1996-ford-escort-rs-cosworth-02
Few modern performance Fords have achieved the lasting cult status of the Escort RS Cosworth. Developed as a homologation special for Ford’s World Rally Championship programme, the model combined the practical Escort bodyshell with the sophisticated four-wheel drive underpinnings and turbocharged Cosworth engineering derived from the Sierra RS Cosworth lineage. Instantly recognisable by its dramatically extended arches, bonnet vents and iconic bi-plane ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler, the Escort RS Cosworth became one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s and remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today. Whilst many examples have lived hard lives, been modified extensively, or restored over time, this particular car appears to stand apart through the sheer quality of its preservation and the remarkable level of accompanying provenance retained throughout its life. It's distinctively presented in Radiant Red, one of only three examples believed to have been supplied in this colour and, when combined with its originality and apparent condition, this rarity further elevates what is already regarded as one of Ford’s most collectable modern-era RS models. First registered in 1996, the odometer displayed just under 34,000 miles at the time of cataloguing and is notably described as having had 'no former keepers from new', an extraordinary distinction for a performance car of this era and significance. This continuity of ownership and care is immediately reflected in the condition, presentation and accompanying documentation. Perhaps most remarkable is the extent and consistency of the history file accompanying the car. It benefits from a full Ford service history, together with what is understood to be every invoice and expenditure record retained from new and carefully organised in chronological order. Also included is the original Ford sales invoice supplied when the car was first purchased, together with all tax discs issued throughout its life, an increasingly rare survival that provides a fascinating timeline of the car’s history and continued use. Equally impressive is the car's MOT history supported by our vendor who confirms that it never missed an MOT test from new, with inspections reportedly carried out religiously every October or November regardless of mileage covered. More unusually still, not only has it never failed an MOT test but there is not a single advisory notice to be seen throughout its entire life, evidence of the standard of maintenance and preventative care afforded to the car over nearly three decades. Importantly for collectors, the RS Cosworth is described as entirely unmodified, preserving the factory specification so often lost with these cars during period ownership. Equally significant is the assertion that the car has never been restored, allowing it to retain a level of originality and authenticity increasingly difficult to find within the Escort RS Cosworth market. The car is also understood never to have sustained accident damage and is confirmed HPI clear. The original interior remains in exceptional condition throughout, while externally the car reportedly presents without blemishes. Our vendor notes that the car still retains what is described as its ‘showroom smell’, a particular nuance that is impossible to replicate but that resonates strongly with marque enthusiasts. Accompanying the car are four keys, including the important red master key, another detail often absent on surviving examples and indicative of the completeness of this particular car. The Escort RS Cosworth occupies a unique place within Ford’s performance history. Built in limited numbers and developed with direct links to Ford’s international rallying ambitions, it successfully blended genuine motorsport pedigree with everyday usability and dramatic road presence. As values and collector interest continue to strengthen, the market has become increasingly discerning, with originality, provenance and condition now carrying greater importance than ever before. In that respect, this example represents a particularly compelling opportunity. Combining apparent single ownership, exceptionally low mileage, complete originality, a rare colour choice, and one of the most comprehensive documented histories likely to accompany an Escort RS Cosworth, it is difficult to imagine many surviving examples presented to a comparable standard. Presented in what is described as outstanding condition throughout and retaining an extraordinary level of provenance from new, this highly original Escort RS Cosworth would undoubtedly reward the closest inspection and is likely to appeal equally to serious Ford collectors, marque enthusiasts and those seeking one of the finest preserved examples of this legendary homologation special. 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Developed as a homologation special for Ford’s World Rally Championship programme, the model combined the practical Escort bodyshell with the sophisticated four-wheel drive underpinnings and turbocharged Cosworth engineering derived from the Sierra RS Cosworth lineage. Instantly recognisable by its dramatically extended arches, bonnet vents and iconic bi-plane ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler, the Escort RS Cosworth became one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s and remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today. Whilst many examples have lived hard lives, been modified extensively, or restored over time, this particular car appears to stand apart through the sheer quality of its preservation and the remarkable level of accompanying provenance retained throughout its life.

- 1990-ferrari-348-tb
The Ferrari 348 TB offered here was delivered in Italy in May 1990 in Rosso Corsa red with a black leather interior and imported into Switzerland in August 1990 by Ferrari (Suisse) SA, Nyon. The car was owned by its first owner for over 33 years and, with just under 15,000 km, no winter use and probably hardly ever driven in the rain, is in absolutely original and well-maintained collector’s condition. A major service including timing belt replacement etc. was carried out by the last owner. The on-board folder with all documents, service booklet, technical manual, and neatly kept exhaust maintenance document, as well as all the car keys and the leather case with on-board tools, are available. As the successor to the 328 GTB, the 348 TB was actually a completely new car, representing a reinterpretation of the 2-seater V8 mid-engine Berlinetta. The body combined design details of the Testarossa – along the sides – with some of the classic models of the past. 1990 Ferrari 348 TB Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974 Maserati Merak 3000
The Maserati Merak, the faster, more fun, and perhaps even more handsome little brother of the Maserati Bora, comes from a family with unparalleled good genes. Where the Bora was equipped with a V8, the Merak opted for a lighter V6, which resulted in considerably better road holding. An elegant dancer against the heavyweight bodybuilder of the family. Let's take a moment to reflect on that impressive pedigree. The Merak is the masterpiece of none other than Giorgetto Giugiaro, the legend who was also responsible for icons such as the Saab 9000, BMW M1, Lotus Esprit, and yes, even the Nikon D8 camera. A resume to die for. But let's not digress. In front of you is a Merak, born in 1974, powered by a 3.0-liter engine that has its origins in the 2.7-liter SM engine. This beauty was originally delivered in Italy and has been in the proud possession of its current owner since 2014. The combination of the black exterior and the red interior is nothing short of breathtaking. As soon as you open the door and take a seat, the dashboard welcomes you with a design that looks suspiciously like that of an SM. The seating position is reminiscent of a real race car, but is surprisingly comfortable. And then, a look to the rear—and yes, a backseat! Admittedly, more suitable for hamsters than for people, but it is a true 2+2 so at home it is also justifiable! She has always been well maintained and is ready to conquer a new owner. 1974 Maserati Merak 3000 Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1979-lamborghini-countach-lp400-s-series-ii-low-body
The Series II Countach LP400 S offered here is a rare example — one of just 105 “low-body” models — retaining the lowered suspension, ride height, and body styling of the original LP400. It recently underwent a meticulous, multi-year restoration overseen by renowned Lamborghini expert Valentino Balboni. Arguably the most iconic car design ever, the Lamborghini Countach redefined the supercar when it debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Named after a Piedmontese exclamation meaning “magnificent,” it was a bold leap from the curvy Miura, with Marcello Gandini crafting a sharp, wedge-shaped silhouette. The design introduced Lamborghini’s signature scissor doors and set a new standard in automotive styling—unlike anything else on the road. The first major update to the Countach came at the request of Canadian F1 team owner Walter Wolf, who wanted to enhance the performance of his personal car. He collaborated with Lamborghini’s chief engineer, Gianpaolo Dallara, to equip it with a 5.0-litre engine and significantly larger Pirelli P7 tires.. To accommodate these upgrades, the car’s bodywork and suspension geometry were extensively reengineered. Wolf’s modifications impressed Lamborghini enough to inspire a production version — the LP400 S 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II "Low Body" Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

It recently underwent a meticulous, multi-year restoration overseen by renowned Lamborghini expert Valentino Balboni. Arguably the most iconic car design ever, the Lamborghini Countach redefined the supercar when it debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Named after a Piedmontese exclamation meaning “magnificent,” it was a bold leap from the curvy Miura, with Marcello Gandini crafting a sharp, wedge-shaped silhouette. The design introduced Lamborghini’s signature scissor doors and set a new standard in automotive styling—unlike anything else on the road. The first major update to the Countach came at the request of Canadian F1 team owner Walter Wolf, who wanted to enhance the performance of his personal car. He collaborated with Lamborghini’s chief engineer, Gianpaolo Dallara, to equip it with a 5.0-litre engine and significantly larger Pirelli P7 tires.. To accommodate these upgrades, the car’s bodywork and suspension geometry were extensively reengineered. Wolf’s modifications impressed Lamborghini enough to inspire a production version — the LP400 S Other Cars from Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-01.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-02.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-10.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-01.png 1/10 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom 1979-Lamborghini-Countach-LP400-S-Series-II-Low-Body-01.png 1979-Lamborghini-Countach-LP400-S-Series-II-Low-Body-02.png 1979-Lamborghini-Countach-LP400-S-Series-II-Low-Body-10.png 1979-Lamborghini-Countach-LP400-S-Series-II-Low-Body-01.png 1/10 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II "Low Body" Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-01.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-02.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-05.png 1988-Jaguar-XJR-9-LM-01.png 1/5 1988 Jaguar XJR-9 LM Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom Last Featured Cars 1965-Maserati-Mistral-3700-01.webp 1965-Maserati-Mistral-3700-02.webp 1965-Maserati-Mistral-3700-20.webp 1965-Maserati-Mistral-3700-01.webp 1/20 1965 Maserati Mistral 3700 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH Germany 1969-Alfa-Romeo-Duetto-Spider-1750-01.webp 1969-Alfa-Romeo-Duetto-Spider-1750-02.webp 1969-Alfa-Romeo-Duetto-Spider-1750-20.jpeg 1969-Alfa-Romeo-Duetto-Spider-1750-01.webp 1/20 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider 1750 Classic Connection United Kingdom 1972-Ferrari-365-GTS-4-Daytona-Spyder-01.jpg 1972-Ferrari-365-GTS-4-Daytona-Spyder-02.jpg 1972-Ferrari-365-GTS-4-Daytona-Spyder-15.jpg 1972-Ferrari-365-GTS-4-Daytona-Spyder-01.jpg 1/15 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 'Daytona' Spyder D.K.

The Cultivated Collector's 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo, Chassis #0704, presents beautifully today in a completely original and unmodified state, benefiting handsomely from long-term ownership and consistent servicing throughout its life. Finished in Oak Green Metallic (Y4) over a Cork leather (88) interior and showing just over 14,500 miles from new, #0704 is an excellent example of the lauded turbocharged street weapon, still boasting its numbers-matching original engine and gearbox. A US-delivered example, #0704 was originally purchased in San Antonio, Texas by Midwest Variety, LLC, as confirmed by the original warranty card and booklet on file. The car would remain with its original owner until the mid-2000s, when it was acquired by Mr. Rotheray of Voiture LTD, who subsequently placed #0704 in the care of the celebrated Taj Ma Garage of John Dixon in 2005. In 2010, #0704 made its return to Europe under the stewardship of a Dutch collector, and then to Mr. Frers, a German collector, in 2014. Upon taking delivery, Mr. Frers commissioned a comprehensive engine and drivetrain refresh at the hands of Toni Planken Engineering. After nearly a decade of loving care, #0704 was repatriated to the United States in 2023 by an American collector, where it has resided since. A collector-grade, numbers-matching 930 Turbo with a rich and well-documented provenance, #0704 represents a singular opportunity to own one of the most exhilarating turbocharged automobiles ever to leave Stuttgart. The 1974 debut of the Porsche 930 was rooted in the FIA homologation rules requiring manufacturers to base their turbocharged track weapons on production cars. This requirement saw Porsche management focus on building a road-worthy turbocharged 911 that would satiate the public's demand for raw power, while complying with the FIA’s homologation requirements. Development of the 930 would be led by legendary Porsche engineer Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, with focus starting at the powerplant. Borrowing a 3.0L flat-6 from the Carrera RS 3.0, Dr. Fuhrmann would couple it with a turbocharging system that had been developed on the maniacal, and all-dominating, 917/30 CanAm racecar, with the results being a then-astounding 256HP sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed transmission. In testing, however, this proved unwieldy for the standard 911 chassis which subsequently led to the Porsche team widening the rear axle, leading to the 930’s now iconic flared rear wheel arches. Additional changes included a stiffened suspension, larger brakes, and the monstrous rear “whale tail” spoiler found on the back deck lid. Despite Porsche’s attempts to domicile the scoldingly fast beast that was the 930 Turbo, it would still prove to be faster than its in-period Italian contemporary, none other than Lamborghini’s 12-cylinder masterpiece, the Countach. In 1977 Porsche brought further updates to the 930 Turbo, which saw the engine’s displacement increased to 3.3L, as well as the addition of an intercooler, new anti-roll bars, larger rear torsion bars, and a motorsport derived braking system. This resulted in not only a colossal increase in horsepower to 300HP, but significant positive changes to the handling characteristics of the car making it less dangerous than the early production variants. Yet the 930 Turbo would still command the utmost prudence and respect from the driver - a character trait to this day for which the car is revered amongst enthusiasts looking for a raw driving experience. 1979 Porsche Turbo The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The name Testa Rossa refers to the colour that the camshaft covers were painted on the Ferrari sports racing models. The Paris Motor Show in 1984 saw the return of the Testarossa. The Pininfarina-designed supercar was striking and innovative with its aerodynamic layout and large side intakes. The engine was the first four valves per cylinder flat 12 fitted in a Ferrari road car, producing a claimed 390bhp @ 6300 rpm (European models). This was the most powerful engine mounted on a production sports car at the time of its launch. The Ferrari Testarossa made quite an impact: it became one of the most iconic models of the 80’s and even today, it is an exceptional car! The sound of the engine is fantastic and especially with a sports exhaust it is exhilarating! For those who have not experienced the Testarossa we must inform you, the car has a remarkably smooth and supple ride. It is a long distance GT which has amazing power in every gear.

- 1963-alfa-romeo-giulia-1600-spider-rhd
Alfa Romeo’s famous series of small, open sports cars started with the 1955 Giulietta Spider, which was styled by Pinin Farina and featured the Italian marque’s legendary all-aluminium, twin-overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder engine. The Giulia model was then introduced at Monza in 1962. The Spider was one of four basic variants – along with the saloon and the Bertone-styled Sprint and Sprint Speciale – and although this latest model shared much with its Giulietta sibling, the twin-cam engine had been enlarged from 1290cc to 1570cc. Pinin Farina’s styling was carried over for the Spider, the addition of a bonnet air scoop being one way to tell Giulia from Giulietta. A five-speed gearbox was standard fitment, and the engine produced 92bhp in Normale specification, enough to boost top speed to 109mph. In 1964, the engine from the Sprint Speciale was fitted to the Spider in order to create the Veloce model. Running on twin Weber 40 DCOE2 carburettors, this uprated unit kicked out 112bhp, which gave the Spider Veloce a level of performance that complemented its timelessly elegant styling. The Giulia Spider remained in production until 1966, with Autocar calling it a ‘driver’s dream’ and concluding that ‘the satisfaction of owning such a piece of quality machinery that always responds to its master’s touch … is a rare enjoyment.’ 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider RHD The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Giulia Spider remained in production until 1966, with Autocar calling it a ‘driver’s dream’ and concluding that ‘the satisfaction of owning such a piece of quality machinery that always responds to its master’s touch … is a rare enjoyment.’ Other Cars from The Classic Motor Hub 1963-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-1600-Spider-RHD-01.jpg 1963-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-1600-Spider-RHD-02.jpg 1963-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-1600-Spider-RHD-20.jpg 1963-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-1600-Spider-RHD-01.jpg 1/20 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider RHD The Classic Motor Hub United Kingdom 1992-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-01.jpg 1992-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-02.jpg 1992-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-25.jpg 1992-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-01.jpg 1/25 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth The Classic Motor Hub United Kingdom 1952-Ferrari-225-Sport-Berlinetta-01.jpg 1952-Ferrari-225-Sport-Berlinetta-02.jpg 1952-Ferrari-225-Sport-Berlinetta-v20.jpg 1952-Ferrari-225-Sport-Berlinetta-01.jpg 1/20 1952 Ferrari 225 Sport Berlinetta The Classic Motor Hub United Kingdom Last Featured Cars 1989-BMW-M3-DTM-01.webp 1989-BMW-M3-DTM-02.webp 1989-BMW-M3-DTM-20.webp 1989-BMW-M3-DTM-01.webp 1/20 1989 BMW M3 DTM RM Sotheby's Ontario 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-01.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-02.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-10.png 1965-Ferrari-330-GT-2+2-01.png 1/10 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd United Kingdom 1988-Ferrari-Testarossa-01.webp 1988-Ferrari-Testarossa-02.webp 1988-Ferrari-Testarossa-20.webp 1988-Ferrari-Testarossa-01.webp 1/20 1988 Ferrari Testarossa RM Sotheby's Ontario

One of 124 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series I ‘Interim’ examples built in 1965 Benefits from a factory five-speed manual gearbox, upgraded brakes, and electric windows. Sharing many components with the 330 GTC (two-seater), the 330 GT 2+2 is appreciated for its ease of use in true Grand Tourer style. Its drivable GT status is enhanced with a factory-fitted five-speed gearbox and power windows. This Beautiful 330GT 2+2 we are offering was sold new in Italy, where it spent its first four years of life. Successively owned by Angelo Panichi and Ada Gregnoldo, followed by Maria Luisa Castagna, who was only 29 years old at the time, the car then had just 14, 000 kilometers on the odometer. Many years later, in 1996, the car took the roads of San Francisco, California, where it stayed until the early 2000's. The car then made it's way to the UK where it underwent it's restoration. Now painted in Argento Silver metallic complemented by red leather upholstery - the original colour was actually an unusual "ref 7113" mid-grey non-metallic. The car comes complete with a history file which includes a set of invoices, with records of its previous title documents. A lovely and useable mix of refinement, comfort, performance and style - rare amongst the GTs of that period. 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

With the exception of the prototype Coombs car, this would mark the delivery of the first lightweight to the UK. Finished in light metallic green as it presents today, Atkins had Roy Salivadori lined up to competed in the 1963 season with the car. Lining up at Goodwood for the Easter meeting, he would face stiff competition from Graham Hill in the prototype E-type lightweight and from Mike Parkes in a 250 GTO. Salvadori would place third on his first outing. Despite extensive competition at the hands of Salvadori and later, Roger Mac, 86 PJ escaped unscathed and largely original. Benefitting from the most sympathetic of restorations by marque specialists Eagle, 86 PJ even retains its original interior to date. Supplied new to Tommy Atkins, ‘86 PJ’ was the fourth of just twelve Lightweight specification E- types completed, and with the exception of John Coombs’ prototype, the first delivered to the U.K. Under Atkins’ stewardship, the car was entrusted to the masterful British driver, Roy Salvadori for the 1963 season. Qualifying 1st for the Sussex Trophy at Goodwood’s Easter Meeting, Salvadori would encounter stiff competition in the form of Graham Hill and Mike Parkes; piloting the Coombs E-type and 250 GTO respectively. Salvadori would place 3rd on his first outing. 15.04.1963 - Goodwood Sussex Trophy - Roy Salvadori - Race No: 48 - Result 3rd (Qualified 1st) 11.05.1963 - Silverstone International Trophy - Roy Salvadori - Race No: 44 - Result 2nd 13.07.1963 - Grovewood Trophy Mallory Park - Roy Salvadori - Race No: 44 - Result 3rd 24.08.1963 - Goodwood Tourist Trophy - Roy Salvadori - Race No: 9 - Result 3rd 02.05.1964 - Silverstone International Trophy - Roy Salvadori - Race No: 38 - Result 5th Throughout the remainder of the 1963 season, Salvadori would go on to achieve a number of podium finishes at Silverstone, Mallory Park and once again Goodwood, in the Tourist Trophy. Salvadori was to race ‘86 PJ’ on only one occasion in 1964 - at Silverstone - after which Tommy Atkins decided to part ways with the car; selling it to Jac Mac Motors. Roger Mac, son of the owner, and up-and-coming talent, found great success at the wheel of ‘86 PJ’ throughout the remainder of the 1964 season, before listing the car for ‘£3,500 or nearest offer’ in 1965. 23.05.1964 - Oulton Park - Roger Mac - Race No: 89 - Result 1st 06.06.1964 - Oulton Park - Roger Mac - Race No: 95 - Result 1st 13.06.1964 - Crystal Palace Pontin Trophy - Roger Mac - Race No: 26 - Result 2nd 14.06.1964 - Brands Hatch - Roger Mac - Result 1st 20.06.1964 - Mallory Park - Roger Mac - Result 1st 11.07.1964 - Brands Hatch - Roger Mac - Result DNF 03.08.1964 - Brands Hatch - Roger Mac - Result 17th 29.08.1964 - Goodwood Tourist Trophy - Roger Mac - Race No: 33 - Result DNF 13.09.1964 - Mallory Park - Roger Mac - Result 1st 19.09.1964 - Silverstone GT - Roger Mac - Result 1st 26.09.1964 - Snetterton Autosport 3 Hours - Roger Mac - Race No: 9 - Result 2nd 18.10.1964 - Church Lawford Sprint - Roger Mac - Result 1st 26.12.1964 - Mallory Park - Roger Mac - Result 1st Roger Mac sold ‘86 PJ’ to Peter Mould, a Birmingham based businessman, already well versed with XK-powered competition cars, having previously owned a Jaguar C-type and Lister. Mould would only find a modicum of success with ‘86 PJ’ - most notably - a class-winning, fourth-overall at Mallory Park. Mould advertised the car in October of 1965, by which time the Lightweight was nearing the end of its career, such was the case, the car proved a tough sell, and Mould relisted 86 PJ for a second time in April 1966 and for a third in November, 13 months after it’s original listing, Mould eventually sold the Lightweight to dealer and racer, John Harper, who kept the car for just 3 months before passing it on to collector and motorsport photographer, Guy Griffiths, in exchange for an XK150. Enter Penny Griffiths (later Woodley): Guy’s daughter, who was entrusted with ‘86 PJ’ for competitive use in a number of events. Having been threatened with the deprival of use should any harm befall the car, Penny wisely chose to stick to mostly sprint events and hill- climbs - including Shelsley Walsh in August 1968. After 40 years, ‘86 PJ’ changed hands once more, by which time - having been cared for fastidiously and masterfully driven - the car was the best-persevered of the factory E-type Lightweights, and therefore, the new custodian set about the intricate task of ensuring it remained as such. Having been purchased by life-long enthusiast, Paul Michaels, the next stage of the car’s life would be centred around protecting its remarkable originality. Nowadays a highly commendable state in which to present a car, the opportunity to preserve does not often come knocking, and should not be taken lightly. In 2004, Michaels entrusted world-renowned marque specialists Eagle with the task of preservation. The intention was not to create a show-car, but return it to a state in which it appeared most authentic. With fond boyhood memories of seeing Salvadori compete in the car at Goodwood, Michaels chose to return ‘86PJ’ to light metallic green, having arrived at Eagle in Griffiths’ favoured hue of Old English White. Upon removal of the hardtop, the team at Eagle soon found clear traces of metallic green. Always learning; they also suspected that the car had originally been supplied to Atkins in bare aluminium. Despite being driven 2,600 miles in competition, the car only experienced the lightest of knocks, and such was the nature of its subsequent care, the body and mechanicals were found to be in exceptional condition. Awash with an air of authenticity impossible to replicate, the car’s stunning leather interior was ‘painstakingly’ removed and cleaned, before being returned and left in situ. Once more, despite being a competition E-type, roll protection had never been fitted, thus adding to the allure of the car’s remarkable originality. Upon completion, ‘86 PJ’ was reunited with Michaels in time for an appearance at the 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the very grounds on which he’d witnessed Roy Salvadori drive the car some four-decades previous. This time, the car was to be driven by Michaels’ long-term friend and ex-Jaguar works driver John Watson. Watson would pilot the car up the famed hill-climb before it was later reunited with Roy Salvadori for interview purposes - a full-circle moment of incomparable nature. In 2006, ‘86 PJ’ was acquired by a deserving new owner who’s collection boasted some of Jaguar’s most significant exports - including E2A, a D, and C-type. It remains one of the most significant competition Jaguars to date, boasting incomparable originality and remarkable history. 86PJ is accompanied by an extensive report by CKL Developments. In summary, ‘86 PJ’ more than lived up to expectation: Rob Hewes, CKL’s managing director, gave a glowing conclusion: ‘Having had the opportunity to inspect this car, it does not take long to conclude that it is in every way authentic and unmolested. Rare to see with a car of such a long history, it has an unchallenged provenance and is very well documented throughout its life.The car is a very good example and should be carefully maintained to ensure it remains in its current and historic form.’ - CKL Developments Ltd. Sold by DK Engineering to its current custodian in 2020, this remarkable E-type has since been shown at the Heveningham Concours and at the 2025 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where it notably recieved the Schedoni Award for Best Preserved Interior. 1963 Jaguar E-type Lightweight D.K.

Rare to see with a car of such a long history, it has an unchallenged provenance and is very well documented throughout its life.The car is a very good example and should be carefully maintained to ensure it remains in its current and historic form.’ - CKL Developments Ltd. Sold by DK Engineering to its current custodian in 2020, this remarkable E-type has since been shown at the Heveningham Concours and at the 2025 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where it notably recieved the Schedoni Award for Best Preserved Interior.
