  • 1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Stradale

    Born in 1926, Giotto Bizzarrini was one of the leading racing car designers in Italy. Among other things, he designed the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO at Ferrari, which is now one of the most expensive sports car classics. He developed the V12 engine for Lamborghini, which was installed in the 350 GT, and supported the Iso company in the development of the Iso Rivolta and Iso Grifo. His dream was to build a competitive racing car that could beat the Ferrari 250 GTO. He developed a sports car with a consistent lightweight aluminium construction, a low centre of gravity and a set-back engine. In a performance-optimised version, the Chevrolet engine achieved around 450 hp. The top speed was specified at around 275 km/h. A total of around 149 vehicles were produced between 1963 and 1969 as road and racing versions. The small production run, the fabulous performance and acceleration from 0 to 100 in just 6 seconds and, last but not least, the extremely powerful looks made the Bizzarrini GT Strada 5300 a legend even in the 1960s. The vehicle presented here is one of the few remaining original Bizzarrini 5300 GT Stradale from 1968. The car has been in our client’s circle for over 25 years and impresses with its very authentic and restored condition. A large folder with FIVA papers, invoices, valuation reports, old newspaper articles and an extract from the Bizzarrini register are available. An absolute rarity for enthusiasts, collectors and investors! 1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Stradale Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider

    The ex-Corrado Cupellini, 1990 Carrera Panamericana entrant Supplied through the Alfa Romeo dealership in Varese on the 15th of May 1963 it was first registered to Mr. Giorgio Mara from Busto Arsizio. Later it was acquired by Giancarlo Comana from Bergamo who had the setup by Scuderia Chiapparini and prepared for racing by Corrado Cupellini. Comana raced the car successfully throughout the 1980’s at European championships alongside Mr. Taraschi Junior competing at prestigious tracks such as Montlhéry, Nürburgring, Brands Hatch, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps, Mugello, Varano, and Imola. Winning first place on one stage in the 1988 Coppa d’Italia. Subsequently sold to Mr. Corrado Cupellini who, alongside Mr. Franco Meiners under Team Scuderia del Portello, competed in the 1990 Carrera Panamericana in Mexico. After this adventure the car returned to Italy and was sold to Italian classic car dealer Daniele Turrisi who repainted it in Rosso Arancio. Three years on, Turrisi sold it to Marco Antonucci who subsequently sold it back to Turrisi where it remained in his custodian with FIA papers granted in 1999. The car was entered into auction and was sold to its first UK owner, who embarked on a re-commission and to further improve the car for track use. Throughout his ownership, the car participated in races and track days, keeping the car until March 2008 when it was sold to James Wheeler of Black and White Garage Classic Alfa Romeo Specialist who embarked on several years of meticulous rebuilding and maintenance, even featuring in a five-page article in Auto Italia Magazine. James raced and tracked the car at venues including Castle Combe, Nürburgring, Brighton Speed Trials, Goodwood, Mallory Park, Silverstone, Kop Hill Climb, Bedford Autodrome, Monza, Silver Flag Hill Climb and Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. In October 2012 the car was sold as James hung-up his racing suit, the new owner started the project of converting the car to a more useable road specification, the project lasted from 2018 until 2019 with invoices totalling more than £12,000. Joining our client’s collection in 2020 it was destined for the race track and renewed FIA papers, but unfortunately other projects got in the way and the car is now ready for a new home and offers the new owner the opportunity to keep it in road specification or return the car back to its racing glory. Presented in turn-key condition and complete with a large history file along with a set of parts; doors, brakes and hardtop roof. 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider O'KANE LAVERS Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV6 1

    First registration 06.1986 Swiss Car Only about 800 pieces produced 40 years ago was it so far: As face-lifted Alfa Romeo GTV 6 succeeded to the sports car with 118 kW/160 HP performing V6 a furious new start in the competition surrounding Porsche 924/944, Nissan 280 ZX, Ford Capri 2.8 Injection or Opel Monza, in addition, against Lancia Montecarlo and Maserati Merak 2000 V6. The Alfa GTV “Sei”, as the Italians also advertised their sound-strong six-cylinder with fuel injection in this country, brought the Alfetta story and the legendary transaxle design principle (engine at the front, transmission, clutch and differential at the rear axle) to a climax. More important for the sports coupé clientele were, of course, other facts, first and foremost driving performance. Here, too, the GTV 6 lived up to its image as a thunderbolt, because in practice it clearly surpassed the restrained brochure figures. In contemporary tests, the V6 sprinted from 0 to 100 km/h in around eight seconds and the top speed was measured at up to 220 km/h, putting the 1980 Alfa even on a par with the far more expensive BMW 6 Series and Mercedes SL, but above all it made an announcement in the competitive field. While the Alfetta sedan was sent into its final round of production in 1984, the coupé continued to be built until 1986. A total of about 135,400 coupé versions were produced, of which 22,381 were the GTV6 and only about 800 the special GTV6 Grand Prix model, which was fitted with a special aerodynamic kit, decorative stripes and special aluminum wheels by Rayton Fissore. The Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 Grand Prix offered here is a Swiss car and is in exceptionally nice collector condition. Exhaust maintenance document and service book available and neatly kept. Original owner’s manual, sales brochure from the time and various documents present. In 2020 the clutch was replaced. This is an great opportunity to acquire a top preserved GTV6 2.5 Grand Prix of which only 800 were produced.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright First registration 06.1986 Swiss Car Only about 800 pieces produced 40 years ago was it so far: As face-lifted Alfa Romeo GTV 6 succeeded to the sports car with 118 kW/160 HP performing V6 a furious new start in the competition surrounding Porsche 924/944, Nissan 280 ZX, Ford Capri 2.8 Injection or Opel Monza, in addition, against Lancia Montecarlo and Maserati Merak 2000 V6. The Alfa GTV “Sei”, as the Italians also advertised their sound-strong six-cylinder with fuel injection in this country, brought the Alfetta story and the legendary transaxle design principle (engine at the front, transmission, clutch and differential at the rear axle) to a climax. More important for the sports coupé clientele were, of course, other facts, first and foremost driving performance. Here, too, the GTV 6 lived up to its image as a thunderbolt, because in practice it clearly surpassed the restrained brochure figures. In contemporary tests, the V6 sprinted from 0 to 100 km/h in around eight seconds and the top speed was measured at up to 220 km/h, putting the 1980 Alfa even on a par with the far more expensive BMW 6 Series and Mercedes SL, but above all it made an announcement in the competitive field. While the Alfetta sedan was sent into its final round of production in 1984, the coupé continued to be built until 1986. A total of about 135,400 coupé versions were produced, of which 22,381 were the GTV6 and only about 800 the special GTV6 Grand Prix model, which was fitted with a special aerodynamic kit, decorative stripes and special aluminum wheels by Rayton Fissore. The Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 Grand Prix offered here is a Swiss car and is in exceptionally nice collector condition. Exhaust maintenance document and service book available and neatly kept. Original owner’s manual, sales brochure from the time and various documents present. In 2020 the clutch was replaced. This is an great opportunity to acquire a top preserved GTV6 2.5 Grand Prix of which only 800 were produced.

  • 1995 Lamborghini Diablo VT

    Replacing the outdated Countach in 1990, the Gandini-penned Diablo took the world by storm. Hot on the heels of Ferrari and Porsche, the Diablo was Lamborghini’s first car capable of the mythical 200mph. Whereas today the SV derivative is regarded as the highest specification, the 1995 ‘SV’ reintroduced the name from the Miura and was competitively priced as the entry level model in the range. The VT on the other hand sat atop the lineup. Introduced in 1993, the VT was most notably different with the addition of its all-wheel drive setup. ‘VT’, standing for Viscous Traction could direct up to 25% of the torque to the front wheels to aid traction during rear-wheel slip. The difference was significant and greatly improved the handling characteristics of the car. The VT saw further updates over the standard Diablo. Brake effectiveness was improved with new ducting and revised four-piston calipers. Power steering was introduced on the VT as well as larger side intakes; ergonomic improvements saw deeper and wider seats, revised dampers and a lighter clutch. This example was supplied new in March 1995 to Portman Lamborghini of London in the lesser seen Midnight Bleu Metallic over light grey. Serving as a demonstrator for the first three months of 1995, the Diablo would find its first home in 1996 in Newcastle. Purchased by then owner of Newcastle United F.C, Douglas Hall, the Diablo would be stored as a part of Hall’s significant collection with JCT600 of Newcastle. The dealership were responsible for many bespoke imports on behalf of Hall, including a Koenig Specials Ferrari F48. UK supplied Diablo’s received a dual-readout speedometer in both kmh and mph with the odometer recording mileage covered in the former, kilometres. Hall sold the car in 1996 and it would remain with its second keeper, Mr Robson until 2002. The Diablo changed hands, remaining local and was re-registered with its first private registration mark ‘5 PRY’. The VT would remain in the north-east of the UK until 2015 passing through a series of collectors, each one documented in the thorough history records. In 2015, the Diablo moved further south joining a prominent collection of cars and having covered just 14,900 miles by this time. The owner would retain the car for 6 years covering a mere 600 miles in during this period. Purchased by the current keeper in 2020, the car was placed into storage with DK Engineering. A stickler for the details, despite a mileage of just 14,998 miles, the Diablo was sent to Topaz Detailing who embarked on a cosmetic restoration of the car. Today this Diablo presents superbly, with known ownership and thorough service history from new. Available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately, this 15,400 mile UK-supplied Diablo VT is accompanied by its original book pack including service book and will be serviced as part of sale. 1995 Lamborghini Diablo VT D.K.

  • 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale by Bertone

    By the 1970s, the relationship between road and competition cars was drawing closer than ever before. Those bold enough to sell barely civilised racers with licence plates reaped the rewards on Sundays; none were so bold as Lancia as the marque seeked podium finishes above all else, realising the potential of a low-volume sportscar homologated for racing and rallying. Alas, Lancia’s finances were in a parlous state at the time. Safely under Fiat’s wing, further competition forays seemed unlikely, but managing director, Ugo Gobatto, drove home the significance a strong racing team played in retaining staff, customers, and marque identity. Works team manager, Cesare Florio, felt similarly: the multiple Italian and European Championship wins earned by the Fulvia HF (High Fidelity) revitalised the marque a decade after its withdrawal from racing in 1955. As the new decade dawned, the Fulvia was beginning to show its age; after all, it was a road machine-turned-rally car. An all-encompassing replacement would continue Lancia’s racing legacy, but Gobatto and Florio had no car with which to enter. That was until they saw the late Marcello Gandini’s wedge-shaped, mid-engined Stratos Zero concept car in 1970, a clean sheet design produced while at Bertone. Both discerned that a competition car homologated under less restrictive Group 4 rules would also count as a production car, if 500 examples were produced. Work continued with another concept car, the Stratos HF, shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Wider and taller than the Zero, the HF retained the 1970 car’s 2,180 millimetre wheelbase; 135 millimetres shorter than the Alpine A110. Great manoeuvrability was promised, coupled with long-travel MacPherson strut suspension. Unencumbered, Gandini settled on a mid-engined central steel monocoque, with a box section rear subframe and glass fibre panels. By 1972, with Ferrari’s acquiescence, the 12-valve, 2.4-litre Dino V-6 was selected, fitted transversely. Road car production began on 1 July 1972, with the aim of homologating the Stratos for 1974. Although Weernink notes that Bertone had only managed to assemble 147 completed Stratos cars before Group 4 homologation was granted on 1 October 1974, it had made enough monocoques and body parts within a 24-month period to satisfy the rules; these would be completed into 1975, when, depending on sources, between 491 and 498 cars were built. The example offered here was the 323rd car built, sold new to Guido Bignardi of Palermo and first registered as “PA 421048” on 21 February 1975. Bignardi kept the car for 30 years before selling it to Carlo Pungetti of Bologna on 20 March 2005. 10 years later, Pugnetti sold the car to its third owner, who then consigned it to auction in 2019. At this point the Lancia was acquired by The Sportiva Collection. Having remained in supreme, unrestored condition since purchase, the current vendor had the car examined by Lancia Classiche in 2020, which confirmed its original chassis and engine numbers. The certification folder accompanies the car. Its Azzurro Chiaro paint has stayed in good condition, with matching “397” body tags on its glass fibre panels and door hinges. This corresponds to Lancia factory records to the body no. 397, which left Bertone’s Grugliasco works on 21 October 1974, and was completed on 9 January 1975 for the Italian market. Inside, its black Alcantara seats have been kept well preserved, extending to the “Sereno” carpets, seat shells, and dashboard. With its original owner’s manual, Italian libretto, and Lancia Classiche paperwork included, chassis number 001832 is a stellar example of the Stratos HF. 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale by Bertone RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Wider and taller than the Zero, the HF retained the 1970 car’s 2,180 millimetre wheelbase; 135 millimetres shorter than the Alpine A110. Great manoeuvrability was promised, coupled with long-travel MacPherson strut suspension. Unencumbered, Gandini settled on a mid-engined central steel monocoque, with a box section rear subframe and glass fibre panels. By 1972, with Ferrari’s acquiescence, the 12-valve, 2.4-litre Dino V-6 was selected, fitted transversely. Road car production began on 1 July 1972, with the aim of homologating the Stratos for 1974. Although Weernink notes that Bertone had only managed to assemble 147 completed Stratos cars before Group 4 homologation was granted on 1 October 1974, it had made enough monocoques and body parts within a 24-month period to satisfy the rules; these would be completed into 1975, when, depending on sources, between 491 and 498 cars were built. The example offered here was the 323rd car built, sold new to Guido Bignardi of Palermo and first registered as “PA 421048” on 21 February 1975. Bignardi kept the car for 30 years before selling it to Carlo Pungetti of Bologna on 20 March 2005. 10 years later, Pugnetti sold the car to its third owner, who then consigned it to auction in 2019. At this point the Lancia was acquired by The Sportiva Collection. Having remained in supreme, unrestored condition since purchase, the current vendor had the car examined by Lancia Classiche in 2020, which confirmed its original chassis and engine numbers. The certification folder accompanies the car. Its Azzurro Chiaro paint has stayed in good condition, with matching “397” body tags on its glass fibre panels and door hinges. This corresponds to Lancia factory records to the body no. 397, which left Bertone’s Grugliasco works on 21 October 1974, and was completed on 9 January 1975 for the Italian market. Inside, its black Alcantara seats have been kept well preserved, extending to the “Sereno” carpets, seat shells, and dashboard. With its original owner’s manual, Italian libretto, and Lancia Classiche paperwork included, chassis number 001832 is a stellar example of the Stratos HF.

  • 1967-lamborghini-400-gt-22

    Elegant, practical and lauded at the time as one of the World's best grand tourers, the 400GT 2+2 was the perfect expression of Ferruccio Lamborghini's original concept of creating the fastest, most comfortable and beautiful GT ever. With verifiable provenance, very low mileage and documented ownership, all of whom seemed determined to protect its DNA, #01225 is an important car in the history of an important marque. In effect, a refined and more luxurious version of the Giotto Bizzarrini-engineered 350 GTV prototype of 1963, the development of Lamborghini’s new for 1964 350 GT and its transition to production, was overseen by brilliant former Ferrari designer, Gian Paolo Dallara, then aged just 26. Ably assisted by Paolo Stanzi and highly-rated test driver Bob Wallace, Dallara retained Bizzarrini’s fundamental design, albeit with a suitably strengthened chassis and a de-tuned, wet-sump version of the 350 GTV’s glorious 3.5-litre quad-cam V12 engine. The styling of the 350 GTV had originally been attributed to Franco Scaglione, whose iconic 'BAT' series Alfa Romeos had evidently influenced the former’s rakish lines to a significant degree. A broadly similar appearance was retained for the Touring-bodied 350 GT, albeit featuring a noticeably lower bonnet line due to side-draught Weber carburettors being employed in place of the down-draught items used on the prototype. Drawing praise for the smoothness of its engine, ride quality, and for its superior level of finish, the 350 GT represented a hugely positive first foray into car production for Lamborghini, with some 120 examples produced over the following two years. In 1966, the updated 400 GT was introduced, which retained the same wheelbase as the earlier car but featured an enlarged 3.9-litre version of the V12 engine, thereby increasing power from 270 to 320bhp. Although a handful of early 350 GTs had featured a novel '2+1' seating pattern, the majority were configured in regular two-seater form. However, ever mindful of the benefits of broadening the appeal of its cars, Lamborghini, after producing just 24 examples of the two-seat 400 GT, opted to further modify its derivative into the 400 GT 2+2, the latter being publicly unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1966. In direct contrast to certain manufacturers, many of whom merely raised or extended the roof lines of existing two-seat designs to hastily fashion 2+2 versions of the same car, Lamborghini opted to both effect this modification and lower the 400 GT’s floorplan simultaneously. Ingeniously, this afforded much greater cabin accommodation at a far lower aesthetic cost than would otherwise have been the case. Furthermore, the 400 GT 2+2 benefited from other cosmetic and ergonomic changes; a larger rear luggage compartment, increased fuel capacity, quadruple headlamps and revised lower front valance being notable examples. However, it was arguably in its transmission that the greatest technical improvement was made, the somewhat recalcitrant ZF gearbox of the 350 and 400 GTs being replaced in the 2+2 by a much smoother and quieter, 5-speed, all-synchromesh unit of Lamborghini’s own manufacture. Critically, as well as offering enhanced practicality, the 400 GT 2+2 retained the impressive performance of its antecedents, with 60mph being achieved in 6.8 seconds, en-route to a maximum top speed of some 168mph. Indeed, so impressed were Autocar journalists that they were moved to laud it as 'better than all the equivalent exotic and home-bred machinery in this glamorous corner of the fast-car market'. Extremely close to the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 in terms of price terms (£6,444 vs £6,516), the 400 GT 2+2 remained in production until 1968, by which time some 224 are thought to have been made. However, just 14 of these were reputedly to right-hand drive specification. The car presented here is a 1967 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 and intriguingly, pre-dates the first factory-built, right-hand drive Lamborghini (which was also a 400GT 2+2), it being chassis #01225 and is one of four examples that the marque's UK concessionaire, Mitchell & Britten, entrusted to Hooper & Co. for conversion from left to right-hand drive configuration. Indeed, some cite Hooper’s success as an important factor in Lamborghini deciding to follow suit. #01225 was originally registered as SUC 683F and was reputedly supplied new to the renowned engineer, Brian Morgan, the Grandson of the man responsible for constructing the Blackpool Tower and father of F1 and IndyCar powertrain supplier, Paul Morgan (the ‘Mor’ of Ilmor Engineering). Brian was serving as the Managing Director of Benton & Stone at the time. Interestingly, Brian was interviewed by Motor Sport magazine, alongside Earl Howe and Peter Hampton, regarding the pros and cons of owning an Italian thoroughbred for their March 1968 issue, with the publication stating: 'He had been drawn to the Lamborghini because of its sophisticated four-cam V12 engine, which appealed to him as an engineer. He had also heard that Sig. Lamborghini was personally interested in the car manufacturing project and he knew from experience that in such cases a better product was likely. He has not regretted the choice: the car is used every day for commuting to work in Birmingham and has given no trouble at all. 'Brian Morgan never keeps a car more than three years, a maxim that was difficult to stick to when it came to selling his Bentley Continental R-type. He had never owned a proper GT car and the choice of a Lamborghini was made after consulting enthusiasts like Peter Hampton, Denis Jenkinson and 'Steady' Barker. What he likes about the car it is absolute lack of fussiness; there are no signs that it ever runs rich, even in the worst traffic jams. This was perhaps what surprised Mr Morgan so much, for he had fully anticipated the exhilarating performance.' Brian Morgan is understood to have sold the 400GT 2+2 to Derbyshire-based construction magnate Ivan Davis Esq. during 1971. Re-registered as DFG 9 and taken off the road some 11 years later, the Lamborghini shared its lodgings with a Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 plus a variety of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. Having been purchased by our vendor from the Davis family via a 1998 auction, the 400 GT 2+2 was found to be in exceptionally original condition. Although the earliest service record on file dates from September 1971 at 6,920 miles, our vendor is extremely confident that the current odometer reading of 28,710 miles (at the time of cataloguing) represents the total covered from new. As well as the exceptionally well preserved interior, the Lamborghini pleasingly retains such fragile details as the original FIAMM stickers on its air cleaners. Examination of the transmission tunnel reveals evidence of where the factory had previously located the handbrake lever (Hooper fabricating a neat cover). Conscious that DFG 9 was original even down to its windscreen glass, the present owner has enjoyed having it on (essentially) static display as part of his impressive collection for the past 26 years. Aside from refreshing the tired paintwork via a bare metal respray (some 30 years ago, which was 'done once and done properly') which revealed no trace of major corrosion or accident damage, he has had the Borrani wire wheels refurbished and some minor brightwork improved. As a highly accomplished engineer, including time served at NASA, our vendor has got the fabulous – and original - 'quad cam' V12 running to his satisfaction in addition to renewing the clutch and master cylinder. Much of the rest of chassis #01225 would be familiar to anyone who helped assemble it at the Sant Agata factory, including its original marque-adorned carpets. A simply superb 1960s GT car, with an enviable history and ownership, this 400 GT represents V12 Italian continent-hopping fast motoring at its finest. Offered at a sensible guide price, it would undoubtedly be welcome at any high profile car event anywhere. 1967 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1955 Abarth 208 A Spyder by Boano

    While the worldwide automotive market had largely been on hold during the Second World War, the conclusion of hostilities finally came in 1945. The reopening of factories for civilian automotive production signified a tremendous amount of change and advancement across the industry. Not only did progression come in the form of engineering, but perhaps more importantly within automotive style and design. In the immediate post-war period, the American market was the most buoyant and arguably had the most flamboyant style. Influenced heavily by the ongoing Space Race, almost year-on-year, more cars would appear with rear tailfins to resemble the rockets and aeroplanes being designed around the same time, and those tailfins continued to grow with constantly bolder evolution. Coupled with bright, exciting two-tone paint jobs, these cars from manufacturers such as Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac, and Ford embodied the 1950s American dream. Hoping to expand their footprint stateside, several European manufacturers produced coachbuilt, one-off design studies or concept cars with radical space-age styling akin to their counterparts across the Atlantic. For the Italians, this was referred to as Stile Transatlantico, as it combined the best aspects of both American and Italian automotive design, with perhaps the most well-known example of this style being Alfa Romeo’s three B.A.T. (Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica) cars. Having only been founded in 1949, Abarth was keen to make a name for itself both in its native Italy and abroad. Surely, designing a small run of cars exhibiting the best aspects of Stile Transatlantico would bring customers its way. This gave birth to three distinct cars; a racing-orientated spyder (designated 207 A), a coupé (209 A), and this spyder (208 A). Most sources agree that 10 examples of the 207 A were built, while the 209 A and our 208 A remain as one-offs. Both one-off cars were shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1955 alongside a 207 A. Penned by Giovanni Michelotti for Boano, Abarth hoped this design would appeal to the American market stylistically but under the skin, these automobiles were unmistakenly Italian. They utilised an ultra-light chassis, small displacement-yet-punchy engines, coupled with precise and delicate handling. Mechanically, much was carried over from the Fiat 1100, including the car’s suspension and 1,089 cc four-cylinder engine. Further performance was extracted from this with Abarth’s tuning kit, which consisted of twin-Weber carburettors and a custom exhaust header, making the engine good for 66 bhp. The 208 A did make its way to the United States and was imported via Tony Pompeo in New York City, a distributor for Abarth and many other Italian marques in New York in the 1950s. The car was imported on behalf of two brothers of the eponymous Du Pont family. Heirs to their family’s chemical fortune and passionate motor racing enthusiasts, there’s no doubt that this little Abarth would have received a lot of attention whilst out and about in their ownership. After enjoying the Abarth for a few years, the Du Ponts sold the car to a friend of theirs, who later gifted it to Bill Hale. Both Bill and his friend were aircraft mechanics working for the Du Ponts. In a conversation with a member of RM Sotheby’s Private Sales department, Bill recalled that he first saw the Abarth at his friend’s house in Delaware in the early 1970s and was gifted the car in 1973. Bill took the car home to Long Island, New York, where he drove it locally for the following few summers. Around 1975, Bill’s parents sold their home where the car was kept and moved to Maine, and the car would move north with them. Recently married, Bill drove the car with his wife from Long Island up to Maine. A memorable drive, he recalls driving the car from Long Island, across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan, and subsequently north to Maine. Much of the drive took place in a torrential downpour, and needless to say, the Abarth was not equipped to handle foul weather. Bill and his wife spent half an hour on that journey with the car hiding under a bridge, waiting for the weather to clear before they continued. The Abarth lived in Maine for several years, where his cousin continued to drive it in the summer for a few years, and when Bill bought a house on Long Island, the car returned back to New York with him. The car remained largely unmolested during this time. Bill remembers souring a correct-specification Abarth rear axle from a friend in Long Island when the Spyder’s rear axle needed to be replaced. When he purchased the car, a custom manifold and SU carburettors had already been fitted by the Du Ponts. Upon its return to Long Island, the car was largely hidden from public view until 2007, when it was finally rediscovered by Etceterini collector Elad Shraga. Enamoured with the Abarth, Shraga convinced Bill over the course of the next two years to sell him the car in the summer of 2009. Found to be in exceptionally original condition, it was determined that work needed to be done to the car to rectify some previous minor damage, but its astonishing originality should be preserved. As such, the bodywork was repaired and the mechanical components were restored to bring the 208 A Spyder back to running order. However, nothing else was restored, resulting in an utterly charming and fascinating automobile. Opting to admire the car privately, the Abarth 208 A was shown only once at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in 2013 by Elad Shraga, however, it would surely be welcome at any number of concours events or rallies, due to its rarity and historical significance. Sold to the current owner a few years ago, it has recently received a bare-metal repaint in its original colours in its native Italy at a cost of over €30,000. This work was carried out under the guidance and supervision of Corrado Lopresto and his team in Italy to concours-level conditions. This is an icon of Stile Transatlantico and a significant part of Abarth’s early history. It would be a significant addition to any collection worldwide. 1955 Abarth 208 A Spyder by Boano 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 While the worldwide automotive market had largely been on hold during the Second World War, the conclusion of hostilities finally came in 1945. The reopening of factories for civilian automotive production signified a tremendous amount of change and advancement across the industry. Not only did progression come in the form of engineering, but perhaps more importantly within automotive style and design. In the immediate post-war period, the American market was the most buoyant and arguably had the most flamboyant style. Influenced heavily by the ongoing Space Race, almost year-on-year, more cars would appear with rear tailfins to resemble the rockets and aeroplanes being designed around the same time, and those tailfins continued to grow with constantly bolder evolution. Coupled with bright, exciting two-tone paint jobs, these cars from manufacturers such as Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac, and Ford embodied the 1950s American dream. Hoping to expand their footprint stateside, several European manufacturers produced coachbuilt, one-off design studies or concept cars with radical space-age styling akin to their counterparts across the Atlantic. For the Italians, this was referred to as Stile Transatlantico, as it combined the best aspects of both American and Italian automotive design, with perhaps the most well-known example of this style being Alfa Romeo’s three B.A.T. (Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica) cars. Having only been founded in 1949, Abarth was keen to make a name for itself both in its native Italy and abroad. Surely, designing a small run of cars exhibiting the best aspects of Stile Transatlantico would bring customers its way. This gave birth to three distinct cars; a racing-orientated spyder (designated 207 A), a coupé (209 A), and this spyder (208 A). Most sources agree that 10 examples of the 207 A were built, while the 209 A and our 208 A remain as one-offs. Both one-off cars were shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1955 alongside a 207 A. Penned by Giovanni Michelotti for Boano, Abarth hoped this design would appeal to the American market stylistically but under the skin, these automobiles were unmistakenly Italian. They utilised an ultra-light chassis, small displacement-yet-punchy engines, coupled with precise and delicate handling. Mechanically, much was carried over from the Fiat 1100, including the car’s suspension and 1,089 cc four-cylinder engine. Further performance was extracted from this with Abarth’s tuning kit, which consisted of twin-Weber carburettors and a custom exhaust header, making the engine good for 66 bhp. The 208 A did make its way to the United States and was imported via Tony Pompeo in New York City, a distributor for Abarth and many other Italian marques in New York in the 1950s. The car was imported on behalf of two brothers of the eponymous Du Pont family. Heirs to their family’s chemical fortune and passionate motor racing enthusiasts, there’s no doubt that this little Abarth would have received a lot of attention whilst out and about in their ownership. After enjoying the Abarth for a few years, the Du Ponts sold the car to a friend of theirs, who later gifted it to Bill Hale. Both Bill and his friend were aircraft mechanics working for the Du Ponts. In a conversation with a member of RM Sotheby’s Private Sales department, Bill recalled that he first saw the Abarth at his friend’s house in Delaware in the early 1970s and was gifted the car in 1973. Bill took the car home to Long Island, New York, where he drove it locally for the following few summers. Around 1975, Bill’s parents sold their home where the car was kept and moved to Maine, and the car would move north with them. Recently married, Bill drove the car with his wife from Long Island up to Maine. A memorable drive, he recalls driving the car from Long Island, across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan, and subsequently north to Maine. Much of the drive took place in a torrential downpour, and needless to say, the Abarth was not equipped to handle foul weather. Bill and his wife spent half an hour on that journey with the car hiding under a bridge, waiting for the weather to clear before they continued. The Abarth lived in Maine for several years, where his cousin continued to drive it in the summer for a few years, and when Bill bought a house on Long Island, the car returned back to New York with him. The car remained largely unmolested during this time. Bill remembers souring a correct-specification Abarth rear axle from a friend in Long Island when the Spyder’s rear axle needed to be replaced. When he purchased the car, a custom manifold and SU carburettors had already been fitted by the Du Ponts. Upon its return to Long Island, the car was largely hidden from public view until 2007, when it was finally rediscovered by Etceterini collector Elad Shraga. Enamoured with the Abarth, Shraga convinced Bill over the course of the next two years to sell him the car in the summer of 2009. Found to be in exceptionally original condition, it was determined that work needed to be done to the car to rectify some previous minor damage, but its astonishing originality should be preserved. As such, the bodywork was repaired and the mechanical components were restored to bring the 208 A Spyder back to running order. However, nothing else was restored, resulting in an utterly charming and fascinating automobile. Opting to admire the car privately, the Abarth 208 A was shown only once at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in 2013 by Elad Shraga, however, it would surely be welcome at any number of concours events or rallies, due to its rarity and historical significance. Sold to the current owner a few years ago, it has recently received a bare-metal repaint in its original colours in its native Italy at a cost of over €30,000. This work was carried out under the guidance and supervision of Corrado Lopresto and his team in Italy to concours-level conditions. This is an icon of Stile Transatlantico and a significant part of Abarth’s early history. It would be a significant addition to any collection worldwide.

  • 1994-ferrari-f333-sp-1

    ‘Il Sogno Americano’ When Luca di Montezemolo greenlit the development of what would become the F333 SP, he heralded Ferrari’s return to endurance racing’s top flight for the first time in over two decades. Originally designed in partnership with Dallara for privateer teams to contest the newly formed IMSA World Sports Car Championship (WSC) in America, the F333 SP was the brainchild of Gianpiero Moretti, the Italian motorsport magnate and the founder of MOMO. You see Moretti had enjoyed much success racing in the United States, yet by 1993, one goal eluded him: to win in a Ferrari sports car. With the radical change in the IMSA rulebook, the timing was impeccable. He called the F333 SP Il Sogno Americano – his American dream. The original Ferrari Classiche-certified engine for F333 SP chassis no. 003 accompanies the car Ferrari’s return to endurance racing naturally made waves right across the motorsport world – exactly the kind of momentum the IMSA organisers needed. And there was much to be excited about: a strong and sophisticated monocoque chassis, a stunning body honed exactly to the WSC regulations in Dallara’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel, and a four-litre V12 engine derived from that in the 641 Formula 1 single-seater – a car which won six Grands Prix in the 1990 season. A special note must be made for the engine note produced by this engine: a shrill yet melodic howl that sends shivers down the spine. Ferrari had intended to publicly display the 1m-US-dollar F333 SP for the first time in the paddock during the 1994 Daytona 24 Hours (it wasn’t quite ready to race by this point). But such was the fervour surrounding the introduction of the new car that the race organisers feared it would detract from the on-track action. Ferrari was instead forced to hire a suite at the nearby Hilton hotel and arrange private viewings of the car by appointment! “The inherent pace and reliability of the F333 SP coupled with both Ferrari and privateer outfits’ nous for upgrading it in line with ever-changing technical regulations meant it enjoyed extraordinary competition longevity.” The inherent pace and reliability of the F333 SP coupled with both Ferrari and privateer outfits’ nous for upgrading it in line with ever-changing technical regulations meant it enjoyed extraordinary competition longevity. F333 SPs were a successful staple of endurance racing not only in America but around the world for almost a decade, only bowing out in 2003 when Audi had found its groove with the all-conquering R8. The statistics speak for themselves: 126 races, 47 wins and 12 major championships. Only 40 examples were produced, the first four by Ferrari in Maranello, the next nine by Dallara in Varano and the remaining chassis by Michelotto in Padova. Chassis number 003 As its chassis number denotes, the F333 SP we’re honoured to be offering – 003 – was the third example produced and thus built by Ferrari in Maranello. Prior to delivery to its first private owner, Andy Evans of Scandia Motorsport in the United States, Ferrari took the opportunity to exhibit this F333 SP on its stand at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show, among its entire range of road-going models. Chassis 003’s first public appearance on European soil set the rumour mill swirling, for the motorsport world believed it signalled the Prancing Horse’s intentions to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In part, the rumours were true. Ferrari used chassis 003 for the global debut of the F333 SP at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show Shortly after the Geneva salon, this F333 SP was sent across the pond where it was poised to contest select rounds of the 1994 IMSA GT Championship in the top-flight WSC category. Racing under the Scandia Motorsport banner, chassis 003 was raced primarily by the team owner and Wall Street banker Andy Evans, with guest drivers including Ross Bentley, Charles Morgan and Fermín Vélez. And it proved to be a successful campaign. Two podiums – in The New England Dodge Dealers Grand Prix at Lime Rock and the Indy Grand Prix at Indianapolis – were crowned by a stellar outright victory in the Monterey Sports Car Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. Evans’ 169 points were good for fourth overall in the title standings. An outstanding victory in the 1995 12 Hours of Sebring for chassis 003 was a surefire sign of the new F333 SP’s potential The 1995 IMSA World Sports Car Championship beckoned for this Ferrari F333 SP, which was once again racing for Andy Evans’ Scandia Motorsport outfit. If the curtain-raising Daytona 24 Hours didn’t go the number-three crew’s way (the engine gave up the ghost) then the 12 Hours of Sebring which followed more than made up for it. Unusually for the Florida endurance classic, proceedings were plagued by inclement weather, so much so that the race had to be halted for an hour as darkness fell. Evans and his copilots Fermín Vélez and Eric van de Poele engaged in a race-long tussle with the Chevrolet-powered Spice of endurance veterans Derek Bell, Andy Wallace, Jan Lammers and Morris Shirazi. But when the chequered flag fell, it was the F333 SP of Scandia Motorsport which crossed the line first, claiming an emphatic victory. It was the first time a Ferrari had triumphed at Sebring since Messrs. Andretti and Ickx in 1972 – 23 years prior. The incredible result was nothing short of a fairy tale. This F333 SP made its Daytona 24 Hours debut in 1995, the first of three years in which it would contest the American endurance classic Highlights for chassis 003 from the remainder of the 1995 season included podiums at Lime Rock and Sears Point and an excellent outright victory in the 2 Hours of Phoenix. After what had been a stellar year of racing, Fermín Vélez was crowned the IMSA Exxon World Sports Car Championship Drivers’ champion and Ferrari duly won the manufacturers’ gong. While this F333 SP did contest the final three rounds of the following year’s IMSA World Sports Car Championship, chassis 003’s 1996 was predominantly preoccupied by the world’s greatest endurance motor race: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Mounting an assault on the French endurance classic was a significant undertaking, necessitating an alliance from Evans’ Scandia Motorsport outfit. It teamed up with the fellow American team RocketSports Racing, which would enter chassis number 003 at the Circuit de la Sarthe. With its Tony Southgate-optimised bodywork, chassis 003 entered the 1996 24 Hours of Le mans under the RocketSports Racing banner Ahead of Le Mans, Dallara had worked closely with acclaimed designer Tony Southgate to optimise the F333 SP’s bodywork for the Circuit de la Sarthe’s long straights – an update chassis 003 duly received. The package included smoother bodywork with a large side-mounted air intake, extra-thin low-drag splitter and front wing, lateral deflectors to reduce cockpit turbulence and new four-piston Brembo brake calipers. At the traditional Le Mans pre-qualifying session in April of 1996, the raw pace of the revised F333 SP quickly became apparent: chassis 003, driven by Paul Gentilozzi and Eric van de Poele, recorded a best lap time of 3min48.6sec – good enough for second overall behind the second Scandia Motorsport-entered F333 SP. Early signs were looking promising for Andy Evans’ outfit and, more pertinently, the Prancing Horse. Suffice to say, all eyes in Maranello were on Scandia Motorsport for the 24 Hours proper. Word was rife in the Le Mans paddock in 1996 that the 12-cylinder Ferrari F333 SPs were the cars to beat At the Circuit de la Sarthe in June, the Scandia Motorsport/RocketSports Racing Ferrari F333 SP was given the race number 18 and earmarked for chassis 003 regulars Andy Evans and Fermín Vélez. They were joined by the 1995 French Touring Car Champion Yvan Muller. After Wednesday’s opening qualifying sessions, Eric Van de Poele in the sister Scandia Motorsport Ferrari was on provisional pole position and the chassis 003 crew were an impressive seventh, illustrating the blistering pace of the Le Mans-spec F333 SP. If it wasn’t already clear, the 12-cylinder Prancing Horse was certainly the car to beat. Naturally it didn’t take long for the news to reach Maranello. Ferrari’s top brass was confident yet cautious and actually urged Evans to not risk the cars in Thursday’s subsequent sessions but instead focus on setting them up for the race itself. Naturally, Evans heeded the advice, even if it meant sacrificing pole position. Alas, come Saturday and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Lady Luck was not smiling on the Scandia Motorsport team. Evans started in the number 18 – an eventful stint which culminated in a rather red-faced retirement when his F333 SP ran out of fuel around two hours into the race. “Eric Van de Poele in the sister Ferrari was on provisional pole position, illustrating the blistering pace of the F333 SP. If it wasn’t already clear, the 12-cylinder Prancing Horse was certainly the car to beat.” In the long competition career of this Ferrari F333 SP, its zenith was arguably reached at the beginning of the 1997 IMSA World Sports Car Championship. Evans, who by this point had acquired a controlling stake of the International Motor Sports Association, had two last dalliances with chassis number 003 ahead of him – and in the two most prestigious races on the calendar to boot: the Daytona 24 Hours and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Despite narrowly missing out on victory, a second-place trophy and the fastest race lap were very welcome spoils for chassis 003 and Scandia Motorsport A bumper field of 80 cars took to the start of the Daytona 24 Hours in 1997, 16 of which were vying for outright honours in the World Sports Car class. Andy Evans and Fermín Vélez were joined in chassis number 003 by the American brothers Charles and Rob Morgan for the twice-round-the-clock affair. And they got off to a great start on the world-famous banking, Fermín Vélez entering a lap of 1min40.5sec – pole position and almost half a second quicker than the Moretti Racing-entered Ferrari F333 SP. Despite narrowly missing out on victory in the race (the Dyson Racing Riley & Scott crossed the finish line a paltry lap ahead), a second-place trophy and the fastest race lap were very welcome spoils for Scandia Motorsport. The 1997 12 Hours of Sebring presented Scandia’s Andy Evans with a scenario never seen in top-flight motorsport before, nor we suspect since. Not only did he own the team running the car he was due to race, but he also owned the series in which he was racing and the Sebring International Raceway itself. This F333 SP is now fnished in the striking G.L.V. Brums livery in which it won the Magny-Cours round of the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup The Daytona driver lineup may have been proven, but Evans couldn’t resist adding a little spice for this most special of occasions. The Swedish Formula 1 veteran Stefan Johansson and the French four-time Le Mans winner Yannick Dalmas were drafted in to support Evans and Vélez. The partnership would prove to be a fruitful one: for the second time in its career, chassis 003 triumphed in the classic Florida endurance race. To our knowledge, there is only one other Ferrari chassis to have won the 12 Hours of Sebring on two occasions and that’s the 250 TRI/61 chassis number 0792 TR. Evans finally parted with chassis number 003 after his spectacular Sebring victory, selling the Ferrari to Charles Morgan, who’d formed part of the formidable trio of pilots at Daytona and Sebring. For the remainder of the 1997 IMSA season, the Ferrari was campaigned under the Dibos Racing banner and driven predominantly by Edoardo Dibos, Fermín Vélez and Eliseo Salazar. Sports Racing World Cup for the 1999 season. G.L.V. Brums once again campaigned the car in all nine rounds of the Sports Racing World Cup, picking up two podiums and a stunning outright victory at Magny-Cours in France. The owner of the Italian team G.L.V. Brums Giuseppe Prevosti acquired chassis number 003 in early 1998, returning the car to Europe for the first time since it was born and entering the newly-formed International Sports Racing Series (ISRS), which had been conceived solely for open-cockpit sports-racing cars. As the FIA officially recognised the ISRS, so the series was renamed the Sports Racing World Cup for the 1999 season. G.L.V. Brums once again campaigned the car, this time in all nine rounds. The team did not veer from the dependable driver duo of Giovanni Lavaggi and Gaston Mazzacane, who picked up two podiums and a stunning outright victory at Magny-Cours in France. Four further podium finishes for this Ferrari in the 2000 Sports Racing World Cup helped G.L.V. Brums to finish fourth in the manufacturers’ standings. And even with a Judd V10 engine fitted in place of the Ferrari V12, chassis 003 managed to win the 1000KM di Monza, round two of the FIA Sportscar Championship, in 2001. Seven years after it made its competitive debut, this Ferrari was still winning top-flight sports-car races. It’s a testament to the inherent pace of the F333 SP. Its extraordinary competition career finally over, chassis number 003 was honourably retired at the end of 2003. Reunited with its original Ferrari 12-cylinder engine, the car was kept by Prevosti in his personal collection for almost a decade – telling of the affinity he clearly held for it. This F333 SP’s current owner, an American collector with a plethora of ultra-significant competition Ferraris including a 250 LM and a 312 PB, purchased the car directly from Prevosti in 2012. In the 11 years since, said collector has spent over 500,000 US dollars on restoring, preparing and maintaining this Ferrari sports prototype to the nth degree. In 2019, the car was submitted for the all-important Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox. Refinished in its 1995 Sebring-winning livery, chassis 003 shows only three hours of use on its powertrain since the last rebuild and is presented in exquisite condition – as the photographs illustrate. “In 2019, chassis 003 was submitted for the all-important Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox.” As Ferrari won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 for the first time since 1965, so new light has been cast on the Prancing Horse’s star-studded back catalogue of endurance competition cars. And given its extraordinary competition longevity and stunning record of results, the F333 SP is a car which absolutely deserves to be held among the greatest of them all – 250 P, 330 P4 and 312 PB included. To say we’re honoured to be offering chassis 003 would be an understatement of epic proportions: this car has so many alluring strings to its bow, not least its origins in Maranello and near decade-long competition career in both America and Europe, encompassing five outright victories and the world’s greatest endurance motor races from Daytona to Le Mans. That it won the 12 Hours of Sebring is a remarkable achievement, especially given the Prancing Horse’s then 23-year absence from the race. That it’s one of only two Ferrari chassis in history to have done it twice is nothing short of miraculous. This F333 SP’s string of mere four private owners in almost 30 years, its painstaking recent restoration and maintenance work and its Ferrari Classiche certification are crowning characteristics. To return this most special of Ferraris to the racetrack, either as part of Ferrari’s ultra-exclusive F1 Clienti programme or either of the burgeoning Endurance Racing Legends series, would be an experience to cherish forever. 1994 Ferrari F333 SP Girardo & Co.

Originally designed in partnership with Dallara for privateer teams to contest the newly formed IMSA World Sports Car Championship (WSC) in America, the F333 SP was the brainchild of Gianpiero Moretti, the Italian motorsport magnate and the founder of MOMO. You see Moretti had enjoyed much success racing in the United States, yet by 1993, one goal eluded him: to win in a Ferrari sports car. With the radical change in the IMSA rulebook, the timing was impeccable. He called the F333 SP Il Sogno Americano – his American dream. The original Ferrari Classiche-certified engine for F333 SP chassis no. 003 accompanies the car Ferrari’s return to endurance racing naturally made waves right across the motorsport world – exactly the kind of momentum the IMSA organisers needed. And there was much to be excited about: a strong and sophisticated monocoque chassis, a stunning body honed exactly to the WSC regulations in Dallara’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel, and a four-litre V12 engine derived from that in the 641 Formula 1 single-seater – a car which won six Grands Prix in the 1990 season. A special note must be made for the engine note produced by this engine: a shrill yet melodic howl that sends shivers down the spine. Ferrari had intended to publicly display the 1m-US-dollar F333 SP for the first time in the paddock during the 1994 Daytona 24 Hours (it wasn’t quite ready to race by this point). But such was the fervour surrounding the introduction of the new car that the race organisers feared it would detract from the on-track action. Ferrari was instead forced to hire a suite at the nearby Hilton hotel and arrange private viewings of the car by appointment! “The inherent pace and reliability of the F333 SP coupled with both Ferrari and privateer outfits’ nous for upgrading it in line with ever-changing technical regulations meant it enjoyed extraordinary competition longevity.” The inherent pace and reliability of the F333 SP coupled with both Ferrari and privateer outfits’ nous for upgrading it in line with ever-changing technical regulations meant it enjoyed extraordinary competition longevity. F333 SPs were a successful staple of endurance racing not only in America but around the world for almost a decade, only bowing out in 2003 when Audi had found its groove with the all-conquering R8. The statistics speak for themselves: 126 races, 47 wins and 12 major championships. Only 40 examples were produced, the first four by Ferrari in Maranello, the next nine by Dallara in Varano and the remaining chassis by Michelotto in Padova. Chassis number 003 As its chassis number denotes, the F333 SP we’re honoured to be offering – 003 – was the third example produced and thus built by Ferrari in Maranello. Prior to delivery to its first private owner, Andy Evans of Scandia Motorsport in the United States, Ferrari took the opportunity to exhibit this F333 SP on its stand at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show, among its entire range of road-going models. Chassis 003’s first public appearance on European soil set the rumour mill swirling, for the motorsport world believed it signalled the Prancing Horse’s intentions to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In part, the rumours were true. Ferrari used chassis 003 for the global debut of the F333 SP at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show Shortly after the Geneva salon, this F333 SP was sent across the pond where it was poised to contest select rounds of the 1994 IMSA GT Championship in the top-flight WSC category. Racing under the Scandia Motorsport banner, chassis 003 was raced primarily by the team owner and Wall Street banker Andy Evans, with guest drivers including Ross Bentley, Charles Morgan and Fermín Vélez. And it proved to be a successful campaign. Two podiums – in The New England Dodge Dealers Grand Prix at Lime Rock and the Indy Grand Prix at Indianapolis – were crowned by a stellar outright victory in the Monterey Sports Car Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. Evans’ 169 points were good for fourth overall in the title standings. An outstanding victory in the 1995 12 Hours of Sebring for chassis 003 was a surefire sign of the new F333 SP’s potential The 1995 IMSA World Sports Car Championship beckoned for this Ferrari F333 SP, which was once again racing for Andy Evans’ Scandia Motorsport outfit. If the curtain-raising Daytona 24 Hours didn’t go the number-three crew’s way (the engine gave up the ghost) then the 12 Hours of Sebring which followed more than made up for it. Unusually for the Florida endurance classic, proceedings were plagued by inclement weather, so much so that the race had to be halted for an hour as darkness fell. Evans and his copilots Fermín Vélez and Eric van de Poele engaged in a race-long tussle with the Chevrolet-powered Spice of endurance veterans Derek Bell, Andy Wallace, Jan Lammers and Morris Shirazi. But when the chequered flag fell, it was the F333 SP of Scandia Motorsport which crossed the line first, claiming an emphatic victory. It was the first time a Ferrari had triumphed at Sebring since Messrs. Andretti and Ickx in 1972 – 23 years prior. The incredible result was nothing short of a fairy tale. This F333 SP made its Daytona 24 Hours debut in 1995, the first of three years in which it would contest the American endurance classic Highlights for chassis 003 from the remainder of the 1995 season included podiums at Lime Rock and Sears Point and an excellent outright victory in the 2 Hours of Phoenix. After what had been a stellar year of racing, Fermín Vélez was crowned the IMSA Exxon World Sports Car Championship Drivers’ champion and Ferrari duly won the manufacturers’ gong. While this F333 SP did contest the final three rounds of the following year’s IMSA World Sports Car Championship, chassis 003’s 1996 was predominantly preoccupied by the world’s greatest endurance motor race: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Mounting an assault on the French endurance classic was a significant undertaking, necessitating an alliance from Evans’ Scandia Motorsport outfit. It teamed up with the fellow American team RocketSports Racing, which would enter chassis number 003 at the Circuit de la Sarthe. With its Tony Southgate-optimised bodywork, chassis 003 entered the 1996 24 Hours of Le mans under the RocketSports Racing banner Ahead of Le Mans, Dallara had worked closely with acclaimed designer Tony Southgate to optimise the F333 SP’s bodywork for the Circuit de la Sarthe’s long straights – an update chassis 003 duly received. The package included smoother bodywork with a large side-mounted air intake, extra-thin low-drag splitter and front wing, lateral deflectors to reduce cockpit turbulence and new four-piston Brembo brake calipers. At the traditional Le Mans pre-qualifying session in April of 1996, the raw pace of the revised F333 SP quickly became apparent: chassis 003, driven by Paul Gentilozzi and Eric van de Poele, recorded a best lap time of 3min48.6sec – good enough for second overall behind the second Scandia Motorsport-entered F333 SP. Early signs were looking promising for Andy Evans’ outfit and, more pertinently, the Prancing Horse. Suffice to say, all eyes in Maranello were on Scandia Motorsport for the 24 Hours proper. Word was rife in the Le Mans paddock in 1996 that the 12-cylinder Ferrari F333 SPs were the cars to beat At the Circuit de la Sarthe in June, the Scandia Motorsport/RocketSports Racing Ferrari F333 SP was given the race number 18 and earmarked for chassis 003 regulars Andy Evans and Fermín Vélez. They were joined by the 1995 French Touring Car Champion Yvan Muller. After Wednesday’s opening qualifying sessions, Eric Van de Poele in the sister Scandia Motorsport Ferrari was on provisional pole position and the chassis 003 crew were an impressive seventh, illustrating the blistering pace of the Le Mans-spec F333 SP. If it wasn’t already clear, the 12-cylinder Prancing Horse was certainly the car to beat. Naturally it didn’t take long for the news to reach Maranello. Ferrari’s top brass was confident yet cautious and actually urged Evans to not risk the cars in Thursday’s subsequent sessions but instead focus on setting them up for the race itself. Naturally, Evans heeded the advice, even if it meant sacrificing pole position. Alas, come Saturday and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Lady Luck was not smiling on the Scandia Motorsport team. Evans started in the number 18 – an eventful stint which culminated in a rather red-faced retirement when his F333 SP ran out of fuel around two hours into the race. “Eric Van de Poele in the sister Ferrari was on provisional pole position, illustrating the blistering pace of the F333 SP. If it wasn’t already clear, the 12-cylinder Prancing Horse was certainly the car to beat.” In the long competition career of this Ferrari F333 SP, its zenith was arguably reached at the beginning of the 1997 IMSA World Sports Car Championship. Evans, who by this point had acquired a controlling stake of the International Motor Sports Association, had two last dalliances with chassis number 003 ahead of him – and in the two most prestigious races on the calendar to boot: the Daytona 24 Hours and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Despite narrowly missing out on victory, a second-place trophy and the fastest race lap were very welcome spoils for chassis 003 and Scandia Motorsport A bumper field of 80 cars took to the start of the Daytona 24 Hours in 1997, 16 of which were vying for outright honours in the World Sports Car class. Andy Evans and Fermín Vélez were joined in chassis number 003 by the American brothers Charles and Rob Morgan for the twice-round-the-clock affair. And they got off to a great start on the world-famous banking, Fermín Vélez entering a lap of 1min40.5sec – pole position and almost half a second quicker than the Moretti Racing-entered Ferrari F333 SP. Despite narrowly missing out on victory in the race (the Dyson Racing Riley & Scott crossed the finish line a paltry lap ahead), a second-place trophy and the fastest race lap were very welcome spoils for Scandia Motorsport. The 1997 12 Hours of Sebring presented Scandia’s Andy Evans with a scenario never seen in top-flight motorsport before, nor we suspect since. Not only did he own the team running the car he was due to race, but he also owned the series in which he was racing and the Sebring International Raceway itself. This F333 SP is now fnished in the striking G.L.V. Brums livery in which it won the Magny-Cours round of the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup The Daytona driver lineup may have been proven, but Evans couldn’t resist adding a little spice for this most special of occasions. The Swedish Formula 1 veteran Stefan Johansson and the French four-time Le Mans winner Yannick Dalmas were drafted in to support Evans and Vélez. The partnership would prove to be a fruitful one: for the second time in its career, chassis 003 triumphed in the classic Florida endurance race. To our knowledge, there is only one other Ferrari chassis to have won the 12 Hours of Sebring on two occasions and that’s the 250 TRI/61 chassis number 0792 TR. Evans finally parted with chassis number 003 after his spectacular Sebring victory, selling the Ferrari to Charles Morgan, who’d formed part of the formidable trio of pilots at Daytona and Sebring. For the remainder of the 1997 IMSA season, the Ferrari was campaigned under the Dibos Racing banner and driven predominantly by Edoardo Dibos, Fermín Vélez and Eliseo Salazar. Sports Racing World Cup for the 1999 season. G.L.V. Brums once again campaigned the car in all nine rounds of the Sports Racing World Cup, picking up two podiums and a stunning outright victory at Magny-Cours in France. The owner of the Italian team G.L.V. Brums Giuseppe Prevosti acquired chassis number 003 in early 1998, returning the car to Europe for the first time since it was born and entering the newly-formed International Sports Racing Series (ISRS), which had been conceived solely for open-cockpit sports-racing cars. As the FIA officially recognised the ISRS, so the series was renamed the Sports Racing World Cup for the 1999 season. G.L.V. Brums once again campaigned the car, this time in all nine rounds. The team did not veer from the dependable driver duo of Giovanni Lavaggi and Gaston Mazzacane, who picked up two podiums and a stunning outright victory at Magny-Cours in France. Four further podium finishes for this Ferrari in the 2000 Sports Racing World Cup helped G.L.V. Brums to finish fourth in the manufacturers’ standings. And even with a Judd V10 engine fitted in place of the Ferrari V12, chassis 003 managed to win the 1000KM di Monza, round two of the FIA Sportscar Championship, in 2001. Seven years after it made its competitive debut, this Ferrari was still winning top-flight sports-car races. It’s a testament to the inherent pace of the F333 SP. Its extraordinary competition career finally over, chassis number 003 was honourably retired at the end of 2003. Reunited with its original Ferrari 12-cylinder engine, the car was kept by Prevosti in his personal collection for almost a decade – telling of the affinity he clearly held for it. This F333 SP’s current owner, an American collector with a plethora of ultra-significant competition Ferraris including a 250 LM and a 312 PB, purchased the car directly from Prevosti in 2012. In the 11 years since, said collector has spent over 500,000 US dollars on restoring, preparing and maintaining this Ferrari sports prototype to the nth degree. In 2019, the car was submitted for the all-important Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox. Refinished in its 1995 Sebring-winning livery, chassis 003 shows only three hours of use on its powertrain since the last rebuild and is presented in exquisite condition – as the photographs illustrate. “In 2019, chassis 003 was submitted for the all-important Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox.” As Ferrari won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 for the first time since 1965, so new light has been cast on the Prancing Horse’s star-studded back catalogue of endurance competition cars. And given its extraordinary competition longevity and stunning record of results, the F333 SP is a car which absolutely deserves to be held among the greatest of them all – 250 P, 330 P4 and 312 PB included. To say we’re honoured to be offering chassis 003 would be an understatement of epic proportions: this car has so many alluring strings to its bow, not least its origins in Maranello and near decade-long competition career in both America and Europe, encompassing five outright victories and the world’s greatest endurance motor races from Daytona to Le Mans. That it won the 12 Hours of Sebring is a remarkable achievement, especially given the Prancing Horse’s then 23-year absence from the race. That it’s one of only two Ferrari chassis in history to have done it twice is nothing short of miraculous. This F333 SP’s string of mere four private owners in almost 30 years, its painstaking recent restoration and maintenance work and its Ferrari Classiche certification are crowning characteristics. To return this most special of Ferraris to the racetrack, either as part of Ferrari’s ultra-exclusive F1 Clienti programme or either of the burgeoning Endurance Racing Legends series, would be an experience to cherish forever.
