- 1979 Ferrari 512 BB LM Silhouette
Following the 1976 development of the original 365 GT4 BB into the 5-liter Berlinetta Boxer, speculation surged about the model’s competition potential. Enzo Ferrari approved four examples to be prepared for the 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans, henceforth known as the 512 BB/LM. These cars were powered by a more highly developed version of the 5-liter flat-12, featured reduced curb weight, and were crowned with a chin spoiler and a large rear wing to improve downforce. 1979 Ferrari 512 BB LM Silhouette RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1976 FERRARI 308 VETRORESINA
Introduced in 1975, the glamorous 308 GTB, designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, was the first Ferrari road car with a fiberglass (vetroresina) body. Only 712 such models were built, tipping the scales at a relatively light 2,315 lbs. compared to later versions of the car built with steel panels that added some 330 lbs. The aerodynamic and well-balanced ‘vetroresina’ 308, equipped with a throaty transverse rear-mounted 2,966-cc V-8 and independent suspension, became an attractive choice for Ferrari enthusiasts looking for responsive performance and agile road-handling capabilities. This 1976 308 GTB is a remarkably well-preserved and prime example. Built for the U.S. market, it incorporates the required emissions and safety equipment of the era. Brought into the U.S. by Ferrari distributor Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports, the car had several long-term owners, beginning in January 1977, before being acquired by its current custodian in 2014. Since taking possession of the GTB, the consignor has had it regularly serviced by the Ferrari experts at well-regarded Fast Cars Ltd. of Redondo Beach, California, and, when idle, secured in a climate-controlled facility. The car is Ferrari Classiche certified and has just over 14,000 miles showing on the odometer. The GTB boasts an original and highly prized finish of Ferrari Fly Yellow complemented by an interior with saddle leather seating and black accents. The owner reports the dashboard and console are in fine form, instrumentation is in working order, and fit and finish all around is reflective of an exceptionally well-maintained, low-mileage Ferrari. The GTB rides on Michelin radials mounted on classic Campagnolo alloy wheels. Further, the consignor states that the engine and storage compartments are clean, and the original exhaust system is in sound condition. The factory owner’s manuals, tool kit, jack, and work light are also included. This 308 GTB is a rare lightweight Ferrari and a genuine opportunity to add a spirited prancing horse to your stable. 1976 FERRARI 308 VETRORESINA Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1955 Lancia B24S Spider America by Pinin Farina
Introduced at the 1955 Brussels Motor Show, the Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America employed a sporting chassis more than 200 millimetres shorter than the standard fourth-series B20 GT on which it was based. The B24S received most of the Aurelia’s advanced mechanical components, including front independent suspension, inboard rear brakes, a four-speed transaxle, and the jewel-like aluminium engine generally considered to be the world’s first production V-6. Pinin Farina’s open coachwork abounded in expressive design cues like the one-piece wraparound windscreen, split front bumperettes, cut-down doors, and voluptuous body curves. According to a Lancia production record on file, chassis number 1086 was completed in June 1955, finished in Grigio paint over an interior trimmed in red leather. An ACI estratto cronologico clarifies that the Aurelia passed through a modest chain of Italian owners until January 1993, when it was purchased by the respected collector, Pier Luigi Chiesa of Biella. More recently sold to the consignor, an enthusiast residing in Italy, the Lancia was entrusted in February 2022 to Stefano Coratelli, a Swiss restoration specialist. The B24S then underwent a thorough refurbishment that included a complete rebuild of the gearbox, brakes, suspension, electrical systems, and ancillary engine components. The engine itself was deemed to have been recently rebuilt, but this work was supplemented with further sympathetic attention, and the entire engine compartment was fastidiously detailed. The coachwork was refinished in the proper original shade of Grigio while the interior was expertly retrimmed in rossa leather. Retaining its matching-numbers engine, this beautifully restored Spider America should encounter a warm welcome at regional concours d’elegance, and it is eligible for numerous vintage driving events, including the Mille Miglia Storica. For Lancia collectors or enthusiasts of the great coachbuilt Italian spiders of the 1950s, there could hardly be a more appealing prospect than the availability of this exquisite B24S. 1955 Lancia B24S Spider America by Pinin Farina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1973-jaguar-e-type-coombs-61-litre-quad-cam-v12
An 'homage' to the original Coombs Racing Team Competition E-Type based on a Series 3 fitted with a 6.1-litre, 'quad-cam' V12 with a 5-speed Getrag gearbox. Through Jaguar's storied history, few tales are as captivating as that of the competition E-Types, the first of these #S850006 being delivered to none other than the Coombs Racing Team. That car became the basis of 17 competition E-Types from Jaguar thereafter, showing its importance and the car on offer here was built as a faithful tribute to #850006. The registration number is even appropriate, #S850006 wearing 4 WPD and this car is 9 WPD. Using a UK-supplied right-hand drive 1973 Series 3 as a basis to work from, the specification is impressive with a 6.1-litre, quad-cam V12 engine mated to a 5-speed Getrag gearbox. The sellers informs us that 'you can feel its power unlike most other road cars. The precision of its gearbox, the responsiveness of its engine and the aerodynamic enhancements all work in concert to create a drive that's as thrilling as it is smooth and controllable. You really feel like you are in the Stirling Moss trophy at Goodwood.' Further information as to the specification of the car include updated interior for comfort, aluminium bonnet adorned with extended louvres for enhanced cooling, aero features and cooling features. Some of the best names in the business have had an input in this unique Jaguar including Building the Legend who are known for their 'quad-cam' engines and XJ 13 reps, Jaguar Racing Panels who were responsible for the bodywork and G B Trimming who created the cars distinctive interior. Attractively estimated today at a level that is about half of what it would cost to replicate, your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully digest the unique opportunity that's on offer. 1973 Jaguar E-Type 'Coombs' 6.1-Litre Quad-Cam V12 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 1
The soundtrack to any new Ferrari road car in the 1960s was accompanied by the thundering V-12 soundtrack of the fabled Colombo engine. Power and performance became synonymous with the Ferrari brand, but at a cost. The finest Prancing Horse-badged cars of the era—including the 250 GTO, 330 America, 275 GBT/4, among others—were reserved for the lucky few with budgets that could stretch to the cars’ hefty price tag. Enzo Ferrari hatched a plan to build a cheaper sports car in higher volume, more accessible to those with a more modest bank balance—and so the Dino sub-brand was born, named for the company’s late son, Alfredo. The earliest Dino-badged road car was the 206 GT, of which only 151 were made. The berlinetta shared the same race-derived 2.0-litre V-6 engine as the Fiat Dino, with its relatively small and simple engine a decisive factor in minimising production costs. The later 246 GT and GTS models addressed calls from customers who were hungry for an extra edge of signature Ferrari performance. The coupé-shaped 246 GT launched in 1969, followed by the Targa-top Gran Turismo Spider in 1972. Both cars shared a 2.4-litre V-6 “Dino” engine, good for 195 horsepower and with a factory-backed top speed of 235 km/h. While the production run of the Dino 246 GTS peaked at 1,274 units, making it a rare and collectable car today, its build numbers were relatively high by contemporary Ferrari standards. The Dino 246 GTS offered here, chassis 07326, was completed by the factory on 17 October 1973. It left the production line finished in Blu Dino Metallic over a Beige leatherette interior, wearing a set of Cromodora wheels. The Dino was configured in left-hand drive and in European specification for delivery to its home market, with its first owner a resident of Sassuolo, Italy. The first keeper did not keep the car for long, as it was exported to Germany in 1974 before changing hands once again that year, though staying in Germany. In 1982, it was sold to its fourth owner, based in Düsseldorf, when it was noted as being finished in yellow. The next year, the Dino is noted to have been seen at Autoofficina Zanasi & Mescoli, a body shop in Maranello, with front-end damage following an accident. In 1987 the car is known to have been acquired by a Ferrari enthusiast living in Mies, Switzerland, who would retain the Dino until earlier this year. In 2007, the 246 GTS was certified by Ferrari Classiche and the car is accompanied by its "Red Book". At an unknown point prior to its Classiche certification, the Ferrari was refinished in Rosso over a Pelle Nera interior, as it is presented today. According to its accompanying Red Book, the Dino retains its matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox. With its timeless styling, formidable performance, and illustrious lineage stretching back to the glorious V-6-engined grand prix and sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s, there can be few Ferraris as emotionally charged as the Dino 246 GTS. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 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 The soundtrack to any new Ferrari road car in the 1960s was accompanied by the thundering V-12 soundtrack of the fabled Colombo engine. Power and performance became synonymous with the Ferrari brand, but at a cost. The finest Prancing Horse-badged cars of the era—including the 250 GTO, 330 America, 275 GBT/4, among others—were reserved for the lucky few with budgets that could stretch to the cars’ hefty price tag. Enzo Ferrari hatched a plan to build a cheaper sports car in higher volume, more accessible to those with a more modest bank balance—and so the Dino sub-brand was born, named for the company’s late son, Alfredo. The earliest Dino-badged road car was the 206 GT, of which only 151 were made. The berlinetta shared the same race-derived 2.0-litre V-6 engine as the Fiat Dino, with its relatively small and simple engine a decisive factor in minimising production costs. The later 246 GT and GTS models addressed calls from customers who were hungry for an extra edge of signature Ferrari performance.

- 1975-lamborghini-countach-lp400-periscopio
A superb example of the LP400 Periscopio, the rarest Countach variant, with only 157 produced in total and only 19 in right-hand drive. Designing a successor to the remarkable Lamborghini Miura was something of a challenge for Marcello Gandini, however with the arrival of the Countach in 1971, he demonstrated to the world that his ability to create automotive drama was alive and well. In fact, the word Countach is Piedmontese slang for something that visually shocks and has no direct translation, but 'Wow' is probably the most polite. The first Countach appeared at the Geneva Show in 1971 to much acclaim. Big, bright and brash like the rest of the 1970s, the Countach was to remain in production through various iterations for 15 years. With hindsight, it's clear that the car's 'flying wedge' design, sloping snout that appeared to descend directly from the windscreen and innovative scissor doors became a template for every supercar that followed. The original, beautifully clean profile was gradually bedecked with 'wings and things' as fashions changed over the years and frequent small mechanical changes were often the result of customer input in their capacity as 'unwitting development engineers'. Some three years after its initial launch in 1971, a production-ready LP400 appeared at the Geneva Show once again and orders flooded in. Sitting on a lightweight and extremely strong tubular space-frame chassis, the striking alloy bodywork displayed numerous vents and distinctive NACA side ducts in order to cool, not only the engine and the brakes, but the cabin too. The LP400 moved the game on from the Miura mechanically, too. In a bid to satisfy Ferruccio Lamborghini’s wish for less cabin noise, its 4-litre, 375bhp V12 was mounted longitudinally (Longitudinale Posteriore), unlike the Miura’s transversely mounted unit. The gearbox was unusually positioned between the driver and passenger, improving gearbox connection and vehicle balance and without the later models’ very wide wheels, flares and spoilers, the LP400 was the quickest Countach of them all. However, an innovative design detail created to deal with a practical problem has become the defining characteristic of the LP400. The periscope-style rear-view mirror, integrated into a channel in the roof, was designed to improve rearward visibility due to the car's low profile and limited rear window and although not very effective and later dropped, these early cars are now known as 'Periscopios'. Only 157 examples of the LP400 were produced, making it the rarest Countach variant, with only 19 right-hand drive examples produced in total and to many this is the purist model. Due to that rarity and its faithful adherence to Marcello Gandini's original design, the LP400 Periscopio is highly sought after by collectors. Iconic Auctioneers are proud to present to the market a very special, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Countach LP 400 Periscopio, one of reportedly only ten delivered to the UK. Chassis #1120094 is the third of those ten cars and was originally dispatched from the factory on 14th May 1975 prior to being delivered to Lamborghini’s UK agent, Maltin Car Concessionaires in Henley-on-Thames. First registered LGF 849N on 22nd May, the original Purchase order and Bill of Sale on file shows that the Countach was finished in Tahiti Blue Metallic with a Senape tan interior and was purchased by Dan Horrocks, a property developer from Bolton for £18,295, a substantial amount of money at the time. This Periscopio is well known in Lamborghini circles and has been looked after by marque specialists, Carrera Sport and Furlonger, who have known the car and its previous owners since the late 1980s. There are receipts and invoices in the accompanying history folder and a substantial set of photos documenting some of the considerable expenditure that this rare car has enjoyed over the years. In 2014, following a period of 15 years long term storage at Carrera Sport, the car emerged from storage (finished in silver at that point) and was then acquired by a new owner who, almost immediately commissioned Furlonger and Carrera Sport to carry out a full and comprehensive restoration, completed in 2016. The work was extensive and included a full suspension rebuild, an overhaul of the braking system, full engine rebuild, a new air-conditioning system and gearbox and differential overhauls. At the time of the mechanical rebuild, it was decided to also enhance the Lamborghini’s cosmetics and it was decided to paint the car in the current finish of Rosso Miura with Nero Pella trim, new glass and rubbers. The Periscopio has formed part of our vendor’s significant Collection since late 2018, having known this car since the mid-1980s and it has enjoyed the limelight it deserves with success at The Cartier at Goodwood and the London Concours. It was featured by Top Gear magazine (a copy is in the file) and in the video presented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlH9Nns6o4s #1120094 has less than 12,000 miles recorded (always shown in km) and presents as one of the very finest examples of the Periscopio available, in our opinion. It is one of the very few examples that were supplied new to the UK, its original engine is still in place and other key features such as its leather wallet with handbook and extremely rare original bulb kit add to its appeal. A right-hand drive Periscopio hasn’t sold in public auction since 2014 and we don’t know when another UK-supplied example will come to market again. 1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 ‘Periscopio’ Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 'Split-Window' Coupe
The second-generation Corvette debuted for the 1963 model year as the culmination of more than half a decade of research on and off the track. Rechristened the Sting Ray, it was an instant sensation. The revolutionary exterior design only heightened its appeal, particularly on the all-new coupe body with its raised “spine” running the length of the roof and bisecting the rear window. Complaints of obstructed rear visibility soon saw the iconic split-window design replaced with a more conventional one for 1964, ensuring that the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe would become one of the most sought-after American collector cars of all time. This particular “split-window” ventures beyond typical Corvette mystique into the realm of mystery. With a chassis number ending in “666” and a production date of 30 October 1962—the day before Halloween—how could it not? Whether its original Tuxedo Black exterior and fiery red interior were deliberate choices or unholy happenstance, we may never know. A window sticker on file lists Dailey’s Chevrolet in—appropriately enough—Erie, Pennsylvania as dealer that sold the car new (note that a Shipping Data Report from the National Corvette Restorers Society cites Luby Chevrolet of Forest Hills, New York as the original receiving dealer). Also noted were the options of red vinyl trim, a four-speed manual transmission, signal-seeking radio, Positraction limited-slip rear differential, and 327-cubic-inch L76 V-8—making it one of 6,978 Corvettes built for the 1963 model year with the 340-horsepower engine. Little else is known of its early history, but by the early 1990s, it was with an owner in Lebanon, Pennsylvania who would sell it to a Corvette specialist out of Ozark, Missouri in 2008. The car was given a comprehensive body-off restoration to concours standards with the help of numerous other marque specialists throughout the country, photos and invoices for which are on file. A Bloomington Gold Certification, two NCRS Top Flight Awards, and a Gold Spinner Certificate from the Houston Chevy/Vettefest Nationals testify to the quality of workmanship and attention to detail. After passing briefly to a subsequent owner in New Jersey, the Corvette entered the Dare to Dream Collection in 2013, where it has been well cared-for. This sinister Sting Ray coupe has since remained enshrined and well-preserved within the collection, awaiting the opportunity to beguile its next caretaker. 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 'Split-Window' Coupe RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

After passing briefly to a subsequent owner in New Jersey, the Corvette entered the Dare to Dream Collection in 2013, where it has been well cared-for. This sinister Sting Ray coupe has since remained enshrined and well-preserved within the collection, awaiting the opportunity to beguile its next caretaker.

- 1991 Alfa Romeo SZ 1
Everywhere you look on this outstanding Alfa Romeo SZ, there are signs of the painstaking care that has been lavished on it by its current owner, and it must be one of the best surviving examples of this charismatic Italian sports car. The Certificate of Authenticity from Alfa Classiche shows that it was built in May 1991 and given the build number 597. It was first registered in Japan in May 1994, and in October 1995 it passed to its second owner, who would keep it for the next 22 years. In 2018, the SZ was imported into the UK by a specialist and sold to its new owner, who has kept it ever since. In August that year, it was inspected by Alfa Aid and the work subsequently carried out included the fitment of a stainless-steel exhaust system, reconditioned steering rack, and modified cambelt pulleys and tensioner, as well as a new belt. The owner is a well-known suspension specialist and had the dampers re-valved, which has provided more suspension travel and more compliance, transforming the way in which the car drives, while retaining the original damper bodies and the standard hydraulic ride-height adjustment. The driving position has also been improved thanks to a spacer in the steering system that increases the distance between the steering wheel and the pedals. The modification looks original and has made the driving position much more comfortable. Due to the methacrylic resin body panels being stored outside during the factory build process, and taking in moisture as a result, SZ paintwork can often suffer from microblistering. To properly eliminate it on this car, the paint was stripped off all panels, which were then placed into a dehumidified room in order to fully dry out. A two-part resin sealer was applied and cured, before the panels were resprayed in their original colour. The aluminium roof section was also painted after removing two small pieces of corrosion, and the end result is a superb paint finish throughout. Other external work has included having the headlight units reconditioned and sealed, to avoid water ingress and fogging. Incredibly rare new door seals were fitted, and a set of new glass seals – now impossible to find – was commissioned from someone in Sweden who had remade the necessary tooling. Wheel spacers have also been fitted so that the three-piece alloys – which still display the etchings showing the name and size of the wheel – better fill the arches. An incredibly rare set of brand-new rear lights was fitted, the black electric aerial is still working and, unlike many SZs, this car even has the correct size and colour of panel rivets. Such fastidious attention to detail is apparent throughout this beautifully presented Alfa Romeo SZ, which is now being offered for sale with its rare tailored cover, complete with even rarer carry bag. It also still has its leather-bound handbook and both keys, and its extensive history file includes a period press pack and books. 1991 Alfa Romeo SZ The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
When discussing the world’s most significant sports cars, few models loom as large as the 365 GTB/4, who’s racing pedigree label “Daytona” was unofficially gained after Ferrari’s 1-2-3 finish in the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. Despite Enzo Ferrari’s vision of the 365’s sole focus to become yet another brilliant road car produced by the factory, Luigi Chinetti saw great promise for the basis of a competition sports car. As both the founder of the North American Racing Team and Ferraris importer in the American market, Chinetti ordered an example from Scaglietti with lightweight aluminium bodywork and began works on his competition vision. Despite the car not finishing in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, Chinetti’s creation showed great promise and he agreed to develop two more examples. The factory began to take interest soon after and in 1971, Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti division began to assemble Competizione versions of the Daytona. Over the course of three years, 5 examples were produced each year in three respective series. In total, the Ferrari factory completed just 25 period Group IV competition Daytonas. Fifteen were completed by the factory, as well as two prototypes to almost production car specification and eight conversions by clientele workshops including Ecurie Francorchamps and N.A.R.T. The competition cars immediately yielded results with one car taking 4th overall in the 1971 Tour de France, a 5th overall finish at the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans and class wins at Le Mans in 1972 and 1973. Another example finished 2nd overall at the 1979 24 hours of Daytona, over a decade after the car was first produced, proving once again the resilience of its performance. This particular example started life as a 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' in road trim and was delivered new to a Mr F. Grisard via Franco-Britannic Auto of Paris on the 3rd of September 1970. In 1983, the car was returned to Modena and converted to Group IV specification for historic racing. Comprehensively re-engineered, this example was converted to Series III Daytona Competition specification for Group IV race specification. These changes notably include an aluminium bonnet and boot lid along with front wing mounted ‘fences’. Whilst the overall look is mostly comprised of a wider arched Daytona, the reality of the conversion process is one of a hugely labour-intensive process. The transformation firstly required the addition of hundreds of hand drilled rivets to the now aluminium skinned bonnet. Both the bonnet and boot lid have period-correct leather tiedowns. To accommodate the competition width wheels, the body required wider flared metal arches both fore and aft. Centre lock wheels remained but are now significantly wider. The fuel filler was re-routed to an external filler cap on the offside rear. Below the car, and as per competition Daytonas, this example benefits from dual side-exit exhausts. At the front of the car, the nose too has been heavily reworked for larger lights behind Perspex covers. The glass windows have been replaced with lightweight Perspex sliding items and the doors stripped back. The engine features the Competizione-specification revised airbox and is understood to have been fitted with revised camshafts too. After the conversion was carried out, the car was kept in the south of France. On display for much of the 1980s at the Musée Automobile Cote d'Azur Mougins, the car would see minimal use. Between April and August of 2003, the former owner carried out a mechanical overhaul with Garage Calderoni of Lyon, where it was overhauled and repainted which is accurately documented within the car's history file. Later in 2006, the car moved to Germany where in October of the same year the transmission was renewed with a fresh clutch kit, from which the car has done only 100 kilometers since to date. Living its life in storage past this point, the car was then inspected by DK Engineering in 2014 at its storage facility in Petersfield on behalf of a very good client of the business. Finally, the decision to sell the car came about and just earlier this year, the car underwent a significant major service at DK Engineering with the invoice near to £30,000. Presenting 'on the button' and with a completely fresh exterior, this stunning conversion example of the famous 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' Competizione is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona D.K.

- 1978 Ferrari 512 BB
Having reasserted itself at the top of the supercar hierarchy with the first 'Boxer'-the 365GT/4 BB-Ferrari went one better with its successor, the 512BB introduced in October 1976 at the Paris Auto Show. For the new car, Ferrari abandoned its long-standing practice of denoting a model by the capacity of an individual cylinder and adopted the Dino-type nomenclature where '512' indicates 5 litres/12 cylinders. The increase in engine size from the original Boxer's 4.4-litres was made, not so much with increased power in mind, but to enable the 512BB to meet increasingly stringent emissions targets without a loss of performance. Displacement was increased by enlarging both bore and stroke, whilst in addition, the compression ratio was raised, and lubrication changed from wet to dry sump. Quoted power remained the same (but may have been more truthful) at 360bhp, and torque was improved to 332 lb/ft at 5000rpm which, coupled with revised gear ratios, made the 512 much more tractable. Styling changes were subtle, with a small chin spoiler added to the nose, NACA ducts added in front of the rear wheels, larger rear arches to accommodate wider rear wheels, and finally, four tail-lights replaced the six on the 365. 1978 Ferrari 512 BB Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1967-peugeot-204
Introduced at the Paris Automobile Salon 1966, the Peugeot 204 cabriolet, penned by Pininfarina, was introduced, powered by a 1.1 litre 4 cylinder and, with its very harmonious and pleasing coachwork, the car immediately proved popular with the public. As one of 18’181 examples built, our car was delivered to Switzerland and 1st registered in May 1967. A number of years ago, the cute French was taken over by a garagiste and added to his private collection. In recent years the Peugeot was driven only sparingly but in 2019 it received a set of new tyres and in August this year it received a mechanical makeover. Currently the 204 is in technically good condition the interior is carefully maintained and the coachwork shows age-correct signs of use and repairs. The last MOT was completed in August 2024 allowing the new owner to register it immediately and enjoy the first days of spring.. 1967 Peugeot 204 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

As one of 18’181 examples built, our car was delivered to Switzerland and 1st registered in May 1967. A number of years ago, the cute French was taken over by a garagiste and added to his private collection. In recent years the Peugeot was driven only sparingly but in 2019 it received a set of new tyres and in August this year it received a mechanical makeover. Currently the 204 is in technically good condition the interior is carefully maintained and the coachwork shows age-correct signs of use and repairs. The last MOT was completed in August 2024 allowing the new owner to register it immediately and enjoy the first days of spring..

THE DEFINITIVE EARLY FERRARI It is well-documented that Ferrari’s first true standardized production model did not arrive until the 250 GT of the mid-1950s. So, in the preceding eight years of development, engineering, and competition victories, as the company grew from a fledgling outlier into a perennial powerhouse, what design constituted the closest approximation of a prototypical Ferrari sports car? While early Ferrari roadgoing chassis were bodied by a panoply of coachbuilders including Allemano, Vignale, and Ghia, perhaps the most definitive early road cars were the barchettas and berlinettas built by Touring of Milan. First sketched in 1949, these designs proved to be some of the most consistent coachwork variants through Maranello’s early years, stretching from the 166 iterations through the 212 Exports. It is interesting to note that while the Touring bodies were prevalent among the Colombo-engine models, Vignale and Pinin Farina were generally preferred for the Lampredi-engine competition sports cars. That is, with the exception of two very special cars built on the 340 America platform—the first “big-block” 4.1-liter Ferrari racing model offered for roadgoing clientele. ONE OF TWO Claiming a high degree of rarity, and attention by marque experts, this beautifully presented Ferrari is among the most unique of examples. Chassis number 0126 A is the second of just two 340 Americas that were bodied as berlinettas by Touring, and the seventh of eight total Touring-built examples. Also the eighth of 23 340 Americas built in total, this Ferrari was completed in July 1951, finished in Pale Grey. According to the combined information of an ACI estratto cronologico and a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini, the 340 America was sold new by Carrozzeria Touring and Enzo Ferrari to Cavaliere Tomaso Sebastiani, an engineer residing in Rome. Sebastiani reportedly returned 0126 A to the factory some 17 times over the following three years, strongly suggesting that the berlinetta was used in competition events despite the fact that no period racing record has yet been identified. In July 1954 Signor Sebastiani purchased a Pinin Farina-bodied 375 MM, essentially spelling the end of his time with 0126 A, and a few months later he sold the Touring berlinetta to Sidney Earl Chaplin, the son of comic silent film legend Charlie Chaplin, then living in Corseaux, Switzerland. Chaplin only kept the car for 10 months before selling it to the Marchese Carlo Pottino, who retained possession for roughly two years. In 1957 Pottino traded the Ferrari in to the Rome-based marque dealer Inigo Bernabei, and the following year he found a buyer on the American West Coast. As was frequently the case in the era of hot rods and an unfamiliarity with sophisticated Italian V-12s, the original engine was removed in favor of a Ford V-8. The 340 was then sold during the 1960s to an American naval officer stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who reportedly died in the Vietnam War in 1970. During the mid-1970s the Ferrari was stored in a barn in Washington before being discovered in 1976 by Gerald Roush, the renowned founder of the Ferrari Market Letter. Roush facilitated a sale to Peter Pheil of Atlanta, and the Ford engine was subsequently replaced with a type 128F engine from a 250 GT Series-II cabriolet. The berlinetta was then enjoyed in the Mille Miglia Storica in 1986 and 1987 before passing through the hands of dealers and investors for the next few years. The Ferrari continued to thrill drivers with additional runs in the Mille Miglia Storica in 1991 and 1992 before being sold to Southern California-based Ferrari restorer Steve Tillack in 1994. Tillack quickly re-sold the 340 to Rodolfo Junco de la Vega, a collector based in Mexico, and the America then attended the 1994 Monterey Car Weekend, including presentation at the Ferrari Club of America’s International Concours d’Elegance and participation in the Monterey Historic races at Laguna Seca. After being sold back to Tillack in March 1995, the Ferrari returned to action with successful runs at the 1995 Monterey Historics, the 1997 Mille Miglia Storica, and the 1997 Los Angeles Vintage Grand Prix. Following presentation at the 2001 FCA Field and Driving Concours in Texas, the car was offered for sale for a time, after which a new owner acquired a proper Lampredi engine originally used in a 250 Europa. This engine was then reportedly increased to a 4.1-liter displacement with dry-sump lubrication per 340 America racing specifications, and rebuilt in 2004 (along with the gearbox and various chassis components) by the well-known marque specialist Patrick Ottis. Acquired then by a collector in the UK, the Ferrari was offered in August 2005 at RM’s flagship Monterey sale and sold to an enthusiast based in Texas. The 340 was then exhibited at the 2009 Cavallino Classic, winning a Silver Award, and later that year the berlinetta was sold to the consignor, a discerning collector based in Southern California. Under current ownership the Ferrari was displayed at the 2009 Palm Springs Concours d’Elegance before undergoing a full rebuild of the engine to competition specifications in 2015 by Rod Drew’s respected Francorchamps of America of Costa Mesa, California. This work included the installation of new valves, high-compression pistons, connecting rods, and cylinder liners; while newly fabricated engine heads in the original style with new custom camshafts were also fitted. This engine configuration reportedly delivers a conspicuous bump in power over the original 340 America specifications. In August 2010 the beautiful Ferrari was presented at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, and in October 2017 the car was shown at the Art Center College of Design’s Car Classic. The berlinetta’s exhibition career then continued with presentation at the Concorso Ferrari at Pebble Beach in August 2019 and again in 2023. As one of only two 340 Americas clothed in Touring’s influential berlinetta coachwork, and one of the last examples of the body design across all Ferrari models, chassis number 0126 A is a highly desirable example of one of Maranello’s most definitive early designs. Poised for further exhibition or vintage touring event enjoyment, particularly given its rebuilt competition-specified engine, this rare and impressive Prancing Horse would make a striking addition to any collection of Italian thoroughbreds. 1951 Ferrari 340 America Touring Berlinetta RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
