- 1955-jaguar-xk140-drop-head
The Jaguar XK140 was launched at the 1954 London Motor Show as the successor to the Jaguar XK120. Available in three body styles fixed head coupe, drophead coupe and roadster. Whilst the 140 was similar in design to the outgoing model it was considerably more refined. Upgrades included more interior space with three inches extra leg room for taller drivers, improved brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel, telescopic shock absorbers, close ratio gearbox and subtle bodywork changes including a wider radiator grille, new rear lights incorporating flashing indicators and larger bumpers to the front and rear. The Jaguar XK140 Drop Head Coupe upgraded to 3.8 litre offered here at Autostorico was first registered on 14th December 1955 as 156JRF ‘Chassis No: 807248.’ Supplied new by Hewitts Garage, Stourbridge to its first owner Mr Thomas Nicklin of Stourbridge, Worcestershire, this genuine home market car is finished in Regency Red with Tan leather interior. This stunning example has been fully restored and sympathetically upgraded by marque specialist Twyford Moors Jaguar. Works included a bare metal respray, mechanical overhaul along with fitting a five-speed gearbox for more relaxed high speed touring. Other features include an Alloy radiator along with header tank, Kenlowe fan, upgraded starter motor, 16” chrome wire wheels, Nardi wood rim steering wheel with power steering, front and rear disc brake conversion, Unleaded fuel cylinder head ported and polished, alternator conversion, battery cut off switch, full stainless steel exhaust system and fitted luggage. Boasting an extensive history file including a Jaguar heritage certificate, original buff logbook, previous MOT’s, and numerous invoices. Offering a perfect opportunity to own a true British classic, which will certainly appreciate further over time. 1955 Jaguar XK140 Drop Head Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1
As well as boasting only two owners from new, this Series 1 4.2 OTS has recently come out of a sympathetic restoration that has returned it to exceptional condition while maintaining an impressive level of originality. Built at the Browns Lane factory on 14 January 1966, chassis number 1E 1446 was dispatched on 9 February to Jaguar Distributors Ltd in Roseville Road, Leeds. Its registration number – EUG 518D, which it still wears to this day – was issued in the city. Its first owner was a JC Sowray, who lived in Huntington on the northern outskirts of York. The original sales invoice is part of the E-type’s history file and shows that Mr Sowray specified the car with chrome-plated wire wheels (£51 7s 10d), a Motorola radio with twin speakers (£42) that was modified ‘to accept a tape recorder’, a steering lock (£9 10s), and twin Marchal long-range fog lamps (£17 10s). Not only does the invoice survive, but so too does the Owner’s Service Policy, which shows that the E-type was delivered to Mr Sowray on 1 March. It also shows that the car has retained its original 4.2-litre straight-six engine (7E 7702-9). Amazingly, Mr Sowray kept hold of his treasured E-type for more than 40 years, until it passed to a new owner in the Netherlands in 2012. More recently, the car was treated to a full restoration by award-winning marque specialist Avelingen Restoration, which is based in the town of Gorinchem. That process was completed in April 2023 and while the E-type now presents beautifully in its original colour of Opalescent Silver Blue, the decision was made to not touch the wonderfully original Dark Blue seats. Now wearing an irreplaceable patina, they’re an indication of the care and consideration with which the restoration was carried out. Now being offered for sale at The Classic Motor Hub, this UK-market right-hand-drive Jaguar E-type Series 1 has been coveted by its two owners and retains its matching-numbers status. Various improvements made to the 4.2-litre cars make them, in the view of many enthusiasts, more comfortable and useable than the earlier 3.8 while retaining the purity of its looks – and this car perfectly embodies all of those qualities. 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport 1
THE VILLA D’ESTE That one of the most beautiful Alfa Romeos of the early postwar era shares its name with the site of one of the world’s most prestigious concours d’elegance is no coincidence. Touring’s new creation on the short-wheelbase 6C 2500 chassis, with a triple-carbureted Super Sport engine, debuted at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in the spring of 1949. It utilized Touring’s famous lightweight Superleggera construction, with aluminum outer panels welded to a small-diameter tube frame. The design incorporated rounded but tightly wound lines with wonderful character creases emphasizing how the fenders flowed around the wheels and extended out to the tapered tail, and a relatively close-coupled but glassy roofline emphasizing the shorter chassis. It was justifiably acclaimed and won the Gran Premio Referendum, or people’s choice, at what was then known as the Concorso Internazionale d’Eleganza a Como. Unsurprisingly Alfa Romeo and Touring collaborated on a limited run of copies, under the name Villa d’Este. A production run of 25 examples was apparently intended, but 36 were eventually built to fulfill the clamor of a wealthy public before the 6C 2500’s production run ended in 1952. As a boutique, hand-built luxury model, no two examples of the design were precisely alike, lending each car a character of unique, one-off individuality. The pinnacle of 6C 2500 production, the Villa d’Este is today generally regarded as the most desirable iteration of Alfa Romeo’s celebrated postwar model, combining capable mechanical performance, luxurious interior amenities, and elegant exterior design. CHASSIS NUMBER 951.891 According to information in the history file, this particular Villa d’Este was delivered on 12 December 1950 to the Alfa Romeo distributor in Lugano, Switzerland. It was later exported to the United Kingdom in 1958, then in 1977 was sold to Pentus Brown. Mr. Brown eventually sold it to its first American owner, John Thorne of Texas, In the early 1990s the car was sold by a representative of Mr. Brown to Jim Simpson of Contemporary Classics in Texas, well-known for his long-term ownership of the two Nardi Blue Ray show cars. It was acquired from him by the partnership of Villa d’Este historian and roster-keeper, Marco Makaus, and respected Milanese restorer, Giancarlo Cappa, and was sold by them to Gerolamo Etro, proprietor of the eponymous fashion and interior design concern, for whom Cappa then undertook a full restoration in a very subtle but striking livery of Grigio Metallizzato over Naturale beige leather interior – work that was obviously finished to the highest of standards, and that retained the car’s original, numbers-matching engine, as listed with this chassis in Angelo Tito Anselmi’s Alfa Romeo 6C 2500. Meticulously kept by Mr. Etro for many years, the Alfa has since been well-preserved in the fine stewardship of its owners, including the renowned collector Peter Kalikow, whose legendary stable includes many of the most significant examples of postwar Italian custom coachwork. Still remaining in marvelous concours-quality condition, it is complete with an impressive set of material-coordinated fitted luggage within the storage compartment behind the driver and passenger. Further, it is believed to have not been shown since its restoration, thus making further concours opportunities, or exhibition at the annual gathering of these cars, Villa d’Este Style, a wonderful prospect for a new caretaker. Alternatively, it is eligible for any number of international rallies, including the Mille Miglia. Then as now, it is a showstopper, with lines, power, and presentation worthy of its storied spiritual home on Lake Como. 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport 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 VILLA D’ESTE That one of the most beautiful Alfa Romeos of the early postwar era shares its name with the site of one of the world’s most prestigious concours d’elegance is no coincidence. Touring’s new creation on the short-wheelbase 6C 2500 chassis, with a triple-carbureted Super Sport engine, debuted at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in the spring of 1949. It utilized Touring’s famous lightweight Superleggera construction, with aluminum outer panels welded to a small-diameter tube frame. The design incorporated rounded but tightly wound lines with wonderful character creases emphasizing how the fenders flowed around the wheels and extended out to the tapered tail, and a relatively close-coupled but glassy roofline emphasizing the shorter chassis. It was justifiably acclaimed and won the Gran Premio Referendum, or people’s choice, at what was then known as the Concorso Internazionale d’Eleganza a Como. Unsurprisingly Alfa Romeo and Touring collaborated on a limited run of copies, under the name Villa d’Este. A production run of 25 examples was apparently intended, but 36 were eventually built to fulfill the clamor of a wealthy public before the 6C 2500’s production run ended in 1952. As a boutique, hand-built luxury model, no two examples of the design were precisely alike, lending each car a character of unique, one-off individuality. The pinnacle of 6C 2500 production, the Villa d’Este is today generally regarded as the most desirable iteration of Alfa Romeo’s celebrated postwar model, combining capable mechanical performance, luxurious interior amenities, and elegant exterior design. CHASSIS NUMBER 951.891 According to information in the history file, this particular Villa d’Este was delivered on 12 December 1950 to the Alfa Romeo distributor in Lugano, Switzerland. It was later exported to the United Kingdom in 1958, then in 1977 was sold to Pentus Brown. Mr. Brown eventually sold it to its first American owner, John Thorne of Texas, In the early 1990s the car was sold by a representative of Mr. Brown to Jim Simpson of Contemporary Classics in Texas, well-known for his long-term ownership of the two Nardi Blue Ray show cars. It was acquired from him by the partnership of Villa d’Este historian and roster-keeper, Marco Makaus, and respected Milanese restorer, Giancarlo Cappa, and was sold by them to Gerolamo Etro, proprietor of the eponymous fashion and interior design concern, for whom Cappa then undertook a full restoration in a very subtle but striking livery of Grigio Metallizzato over Naturale beige leather interior – work that was obviously finished to the highest of standards, and that retained the car’s original, numbers-matching engine, as listed with this chassis in Angelo Tito Anselmi’s Alfa Romeo 6C 2500. Meticulously kept by Mr. Etro for many years, the Alfa has since been well-preserved in the fine stewardship of its owners, including the renowned collector Peter Kalikow, whose legendary stable includes many of the most significant examples of postwar Italian custom coachwork. Still remaining in marvelous concours-quality condition, it is complete with an impressive set of material-coordinated fitted luggage within the storage compartment behind the driver and passenger. Further, it is believed to have not been shown since its restoration, thus making further concours opportunities, or exhibition at the annual gathering of these cars, Villa d’Este Style, a wonderful prospect for a new caretaker. Alternatively, it is eligible for any number of international rallies, including the Mille Miglia. Then as now, it is a showstopper, with lines, power, and presentation worthy of its storied spiritual home on Lake Como.

- 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1
‘Project ZP’ Like prairie fire ripping through the country. That’s how the storied Jaguar test-driver Norman Dewis described the public response to the £2,000 150mph E-type when it was introduced at Geneva in 1961. By the time the doors had shut on the world’s premiere motor show, Jaguar had secured a staggering 500 orders. But the marque’s astute founder Sir William Lyons knew better than to rest on any laurels. To capitalise on the early wind in the E-type’s sails, at a time when demand was far outstripping supply, early cars were allocated to customers who Lyons knew would fan the publicity flames. And the easiest way to achieve that in the 1960s? You went racing, of course! These specific E-type Roadsters, just seven in total, were specially prepared for competition and are today known as the ‘Project ZP’ cars. With the Ferrari 250 GT ‘SWB’ and the Aston Martin DB4GT firmly in its sight, Jaguar’s chief designer Claude Baily made a small number of effective changes to the E-type, including adding a close-ratio gearbox, a competition clutch and a lightweight flywheel. The engine underwent perhaps the greatest changes: an experimental ‘gas-flowed’ cylinder head, competition internals, a higher compression ratio and trumpets beside the carburettors. Who doesn’t love trumpets? “To capitalise on the early wind in the E-type’s sails, at a time when demand was far outstripping supply, early cars were allocated to customers who Lyons knew would fan the publicity flames. And the easiest way to achieve that in the 1960s? You went racing, of course!” This was genesis. Suffice to say, the E-type forged an incredibly strong record on the racetracks of the world, scoring its first domestic victory a mere month after ‘Project ZP’ was introduced and racking up 24 international podium finishes in total. Chassis no. 876176 – A tale of two halves The story of this fabulous 1961 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Roadster is a tale of two halves. The influential East Coast distributor Max Hoffman imported chassis no. 876176 to the United States in November of 1961, finished in Carmen Red over a Black interior. And the car remained happily on the other side of the Atlantic for 50 years, returning to England for the first time in 2011. Enter DK Engineering. It was then that the renowned British historic-car specialist, which famously forged its reputation with Jaguars rather than the Ferraris for which it’s most closely associated today, encountered chassis 876176. Satisfied with its remarkable originality, DK undertook a comprehensive restoration, opting to prepare the Jaguar to the aforementioned ‘Project ZP’ specification for use in various historic motorsport events. The brief from the outset was clear: to build a competitive and versatile historic competition car that could contest – and realistically win – on both the racetrack and on road rallies such as the Tour Auto and Modena Cento Ore. The latter required retaining a level of real-world useability on the road. Upon completion of the exhaustive restoration, this E-type was given the registration ‘492 YUF’ and campaigned by DK Engineering over several years in the fiercely popular Pre ’63 GT series by Motor Racing Legends, Peter Auto’s Fifties’ Legends championship. And with great success, we might add – in fact, in DK’s hands chassis number 876176 never finished outside the top five. Most pertinently, this E-type contested the Kinrara Trophy at the world-famous Goodwood Revival on a number of occasions. And won it, not once but twice. The ‘most beautiful race in the world’ is for pre-1962 GT cars and is, like every grid at Goodwood, fiercely competitive. That this Jaguar has triumphed twice is proof of its raw pace and a testament to the technicians who restored and prepared it. Chassis number 876176’s penultimate owner, a keen historic racing driver with a remarkable collection of significant cars, campaigned the car on a small number of occasions, adding two further victories to its competition résumé at Paul Ricard and Vallelunga. The car’s current FIA Historic Technical Passport is valid until 2031. Whether you’re a veteran historic racing driver looking to add to your cabinet full of winners’ trophies or looking to stud your calendar with unforgettable historic road rallies, this incredibly versatile competition-specification 1961 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Roadster is the perfect car with which to do so. With its proven track record, this is undoubtedly among historic motorsport’s most successful pre-1963 Jaguar E-types. 1961 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Girardo & Co.

- 1982 Renault 5 Turbo Group 4
Built in the summer of 1982 at Renault’s Viry-Chatillon facility, chassis “C0000027” was road-registered by Renault Sport on 29 September 1982. Marque historian Gilles Vallerian believes this Renault 5 Turbo was prepared at Danny Snobeck’s workshop, and was built as a “petit Group 4” producing 220 horsepower. On 29 October, Alain Prost, assisted by co-driver Jean-Marc Andrié, entered the car into the 1982 Rallye du Var. Numbered “5” and—due to Prost’s Formula 1 sponsorship—clothed in the famous Marlboro livery, this would be his first time competing in Group 4. On the first stage he was tied for 7th place, but Prost’s modification of the accelerator pedal was causing it to stick, forcing him off the course on two occasions, the second resulting in early retirement on the 7th stage. In a post-race interview, Prost stated that he wanted to compete again, but by 1983 team bosses would not authorise it. The car was returned to Snobeck after the Rallye du Var, and in the spring of 1983 it was purchased by Michel Neri, who re-registered it on 2 May that year. The Renault was then homologated for Group B and was raced by Neri both in Corsica and on the continent no fewer than 28 times from 1983 to 1989, with considerable success. Neri took his first podium at the 1984 Rallye du Maquis, finishing 3rd overall and 1st in Group B. During the 1985 Tour de Corse, the car suffered a large front and rear impact and was subsequently repaired using a Turbo 2 shell, transferring the retrievable mechanical components. After five months, Neri was back racing and finished 3rd overall at the Rallye du Marquis on 10 November 1985. He continued to compete with this Renault 5 Turbo until 1989. In 1990, Neri sold this Turbo 5, which then changed hands several times before ending up with a collector. While in his care the car was restored and returned to the iconic Prost-Marlboro livery. It was acquired by the current owner in 2020. Encapsulating the history of one of the most iconic rally cars of the 1980s, this car would make a fine addition to any collection of significant racing machines. 1982 Renault 5 Turbo Group 4 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This XK150 3.4 Drophead Coupe was constructed on 30th May 1958 and subsequently exported to the USA on the 18th June of the same year, destined for supplying dealer Jaguar Cars New York. The car was built to North American specification, originally finished in Carmen Red with red trim Retained within the comprehensive history file is a previous US certificate of title from the State of California, dated July 1990, prior to its repatriation to the UK in the mid 1990s, whereupon it was the subject of an extensive restoration and conversion to right hand drive steering by leading Jaguar exponents J.D. Classics, who later supplied this XK to the vendor in September 2000 During the restoration this superb example was re-finished in dark blue coachwork with a dark blue hood and a grey leather interior finished off with blue carpets and rugs, walnut dash and Sun Dym glass The engine was rebuilt to the highest standards, lightened, balanced and upgraded to ‘S’ specification with the addition of triple SU carburettors mated to ‘S’ inlet manifolds and an ‘S’ spec air-box. Further engine upgrades included a toughened crank shaft, balanced con rods with high compression pistons and the original cylinder head fully rebuilt to ‘S’ specification The XK further benefits from many upgrades designed to make it more useable in modern traffic including a 5 speed all synchromesh gearbox, power steering, electronic choke, uprated brakes, poly bushed suspension, JD sports callipers, twin servos split between front and rear for differential braking, limited slip differential, adjustable shocks, gaitered rear springs, twin performance switchable fuel pumps and a modified battery compartment. The inner wings have been modified as per the original ‘S’ specification Other modifications include an electronic ignition, uprated alternator, negative earth conversion and stainless-steel exhaust manifold and exhaust. In addition a new alloy radiator was fitted to enhance cooling, finished in black with a sealed expansion tank and an electric fan with both automatic and manual control. The XK was also fitted with desirable Borrani type aluminium rimmed wire wheels and fast road tyres The extensive history file documents a huge quantity of servicing, maintenance and improvements completed by JD classics over the past twenty years. This exceptional example has clearly been cherished and enjoyed during the vendors twenty three year ownership attested to by invoices on file totalling almost £100,000 during his ownership In addition to the aforementioned invoices, the file contains a Jaguar Heritage certificate, multiple MOT certificates dating back to 2000 as well as an operating, maintenance and service handbook. The car passed an advisory-free MOT in November of 2022, having completed a mere 9,188 miles since its restoration. Without doubt one of the finest XK150 Drophead’s on the market today and restored to perfection with a host of sensible upgrades, we challenge you to find better! 1958 Jaguar XK150 Dylan Miles Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
In 1953, Mercedes-Benz told its American importer Max Hoffman of its plans to build a roadster based on the pontoon sedan. Hoffman didn't see the point unless the model was as similar as possible to the spectacular 300 SL "butterfly doors". It was finally decided to offer a roadster prototype at the 1954 New York show. The development of the roadster was extremely rapid. The first sketches were ready after only two weeks, followed by a model after four weeks, a 1:5 model after twelve weeks and a 1:1 wooden model after twenty weeks. After a total of 150 days, the prototype itself was on display at the New York Auto Show! But the operation could never have gone so fast without a few tricks of the trade. The new roadster borrowed as many parts as possible from the Mercedes 180, including the chassis, which was simply shortened to form a self-supporting construction with the body. The Mercedes-Benz 190SL was presented in February 1954 at the New York Motor Show as a prototype. With this model, the German brand wanted to capture a share of the booming roadster market in the USA. The response to the New York show was so enthusiastic that Mercedes-Benz decided to go into series production. The 190 SL made its official debut at the 1955 Geneva Motor Show, where it was presented in three versions: a convertible A (the name traditionally used by Mercedes-Benz for its two-seater convertibles at the time), a coupe with a removable roof ('hard top') and a coupe-cabriolet equipped with both a removable roof and a canvas top. Since Mercedes-Benz felt that its 190 SL was already generously equipped, it designed a deliberately short option list. Buyers could still customize their car with leather upholstery and a custom luggage set, tires with white sidewalls, a passenger-side exterior mirror, and fog lights. But the most popular accessory was definitely the Becker radio. The interior was also tastefully finished: the metal dashboard was painted in the body color, while the top and bottom were covered with the same fabric as the seats. The feature that everyone really agreed on, however, was the beauty of the design, which was irresistibly reminiscent of the 300 SL. The 190 SL had a certain sex appeal and would play a role in many movies of the time. Compared to the 1954 prototype, the production car has the gearshift lever on the floor instead of on the steering wheel. The latter solution would have cost less but would not have pleased the American customers. The production 190SL also lacks the hood-mounted air intake of the prototype. The Mercedes-Benz 190SL is meant to be a dynamic car while offering the seriousness of a Mercedes-Benz. However, the manufacturer made the mistake of presenting the car as a sports car. It is not really the case, and the critics arrived. The gear ratio was quickly shortened to give the car a little more character. Despite this lack of sportiness, the car was a success and the public liked the civilized character of the 190SL. Although the letters SL stand for "Sport Leicht" or light sport, the public quickly perceives that, after the 300SL which is a racing car adapted to the road, the 190 SL is more a touring car, fast and comfortable, allowing to swallow long distances without difficulty. This philosophy is fully reflected in the following generations of SL, which then become luxury cars. The car was not equipped with a 6-cylinder engine like the 300 SL but with a more sober and modern four-cylinder engine of 1,897 cm3. The engine, equipped with two Solex carburetors, finally developed 105 hp at 5,700 rpm. It was coupled to a 4-speed mechanical gearbox. This set, without allowing a sporting temperament, ensures a good dynamism to the car. The line is aesthetically close to the 300 SL, but it is now a two-seater convertible. The popular 190SL had a long career, so much so that it achieved its second-best production year in 1960, five years after its launch. The 190SL was produced in 26,000 units. The SL W113 Pagoda succeeded it in the spring of 1963 and was placed higher up the range thanks to its 6-cylinder engine. In spite of an initial design not very sporty, the 190SL was available on request in a single-seater version with aluminum doors without windows, without handles with a tonneau cover and Plexiglas windscreen. Thus, Mercedes-Benz 190SL were entered privately in some races. The factory also entered a 190SL with a fuel-injected engine in the 1955 Mille Miglia race. A 190SL won the 1958 Hong Kong Rally, and in 1959 a private crew fitted an OM621 diesel engine with 60 hp in a 190SL. It set a new 24-hour record on the Hockenheim circuit at an average speed of 124.1 km/h. Our car, registered in 1959, is presented in a splendid grey coat accompanied by a cartier red interior with a superb patina and the highly desirable Becker car radio option. The car is accompanied by its Hard top and benefited from a careful restoration many years ago before its purchase by the current owner in 2002. The previous owner had cherished it since 1995. You will find in this car all the charm and elegance of the model. It is in very good condition, both aesthetically and mechanically, having been meticulously maintained, as evidenced by the impressive file of invoices accumulated over the 50,000km the owner has driven it. It's sure to delight fans of this iconic roadster, and will accompany you on all your travels with grace and suppleness. 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1968-lamborghini-islero
Very rare Lamborghini Islero Grand Tourer. There were only 125 first series and 100 Islero S built in 1968-1969!! This car is an original Belgian delivered car (Socaria) with matching numbers engine! Finished in the original color combination with completely original interior!! It was the replacement for the 400 GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The Islero was introduced at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show alongside the Lamborghini Espada. While both automobiles featured a 2+2 coupé body style, the Islero was intended to be a more visually conservative alternative to the then-radical Espada, in keeping with the traditional style of the earlier 400 GT. The car's namesake, Islero, was a Miura bull that killed matador Manuel Rodriguez. Carrozzeria Marazzi was chosen to construct the Islero's body. This firm was chosen as it was founded by Carlo Marazzi, a former employee of the now-bankrupt Carrozzeria Touring. Touring had previously produced bodies for the 350 GT and 400 GT. The firm was staffed by former Touring employees, along with Marazzi's sons Mario and Serafino. Ferruccio Lamborghini was rumored to be the true designer of the body, dictating his requirements to Marazzi. The design was essentially a rebody of the 400 GT, with its good outward visibility, roomier interior, and additional soundproofing improving driver and passenger comfort compared to previous models.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Very rare Lamborghini Islero Grand Tourer. There were only 125 first series and 100 Islero S built in 1968-1969!! This car is an original Belgian delivered car (Socaria) with matching numbers engine! Finished in the original color combination with completely original interior!! It was the replacement for the 400 GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The Islero was introduced at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show alongside the Lamborghini Espada. While both automobiles featured a 2+2 coupé body style, the Islero was intended to be a more visually conservative alternative to the then-radical Espada, in keeping with the traditional style of the earlier 400 GT. The car's namesake, Islero, was a Miura bull that killed matador Manuel Rodriguez. Carrozzeria Marazzi was chosen to construct the Islero's body. This firm was chosen as it was founded by Carlo Marazzi, a former employee of the now-bankrupt Carrozzeria Touring. Touring had previously produced bodies for the 350 GT and 400 GT. The firm was staffed by former Touring employees, along with Marazzi's sons Mario and Serafino. Ferruccio Lamborghini was rumored to be the true designer of the body, dictating his requirements to Marazzi. The design was essentially a rebody of the 400 GT, with its good outward visibility, roomier interior, and additional soundproofing improving driver and passenger comfort compared to previous models.

- 1996-ford-escort-rs-cosworth
The Escort RS Cosworth is one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s, and certainly one of the defining ‘Fast Fords’, rightfully earning itself its cult-like following and praise. Launched in 1992 as a homologation special, the RS Cosworth was designed with a singular purpose: to incorporate components that would allow Ford to compete at the highest level of international rallying. With its turbocharged 227bhp engine, all-wheel drive and finely tuned chassis, it was capable of 0-60mph in just over 6 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 145mph. Early examples, known as ‘big turbo’ cars, were renowned for their rawness and pronounced turbo lag, but refinements introduced in 1994, including the smaller Garrett T25 turbo, significantly improved drivability and performance. In 1995, the model received a mild facelift with a new honeycomb grille, updated bumpers, revised alloy wheels and an improved interior layout. Production ceased in early 1996 as emissions regulations ended the era of the Escort RS Cosworth, leaving a car that was already regarded as a classic. This Imperial Blue example is nothing short of exceptional, especially benefitting from long-term ownership of c.20 years. It is one of the very last RS Cosworths built at the Saarlouis plant and was ordered as an Executive Car for Richard Parry-Jones, the head of Ford of Europe’s R&D division at the time. Parry-Jones had been intimately involved in the car’s development, including the fine-tuning of the chassis, and it was the third Escort Cosworth he personally ran, following two left-hand drive examples during his time in Germany. During its initial life as a company car, it saw little use, partly because Parry-Jones was frequently abroad, and partly because his role required him to test-drive other vehicles. When it came time to replace it, he purchased the car personally to enjoy it further, but use remained limited, largely to weekend drives and occasional outings to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Ford RS events. The car has been meticulously cared for throughout its life. In Parry-Jones’ ownership, cosmetic refurbishment and underbody waxing were carried out by Automotive Unlimited, while routine mechanical servicing was undertaken by Gates of Bishops Stortford despite lack of usage. Every effort has been made to preserve its originality, never being modified, and all factory specifications remaining intact. N114 DTW has spent its entire life in temperature-controlled units, from a well-ventilated coach house until 2006 when our vendor bought it, to then live again in a environmentally friendly storage effectively preserving it in 'as-new' condition. As a Lux specification, the car combines performance with comfort, offering a level of refinement unusual in a homologation special. Features include opening rear quarter windows, electrically operated and heated mirrors, Quickclear heated windscreen with heated washer jets, electric sunroof and windows, rear centre armrest and head restraints, central double locking, lights-on warning, three-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, and the factory-fitted radio cassette with optional 2040 CD player. The interior leather is pristine, the plastics are preserved and dark, and the cabin retains the feel of a brand-new car. It sits on its original Ronal soft-spoke 8x16 alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres, all in excellent order. The accompanying history is complete, including full bookpacks, original documentation, and all MOTs from the first owner through 2007, with the last MOT undertaken in 2010. The car has covered just 3,091 miles from new, with three owners in total and our vendor having driven it only a handful of times, preferring to admire and detail it rather than use it. It has been routinely serviced, with oil changes maintained throughout its life. N114 DTW is a timewarp example in every sense. It has been preserved through chance and careful ownership rather than deliberate speculation, retaining its originality, specification and showroom condition for more than 30 years. The combination of ultra-low mileage, complete provenance, Lux specification with leather seating, Imperial Blue paint, and the connection to Richard Parry-Jones makes this Escort RS Cosworth an extraordinarily rare and desirable example. It is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to acquire one of the last and most remarkable Cosworths ever produced. 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1963-alfa-romeo-giulia-1600-spider-03
The iconic Alfa Romeo Spider remains an instantly recognisable classic, and few would argue with the conclusion of Cars Illustrated magazine when it said in period that the open-top Giulia was ‘probably one of the most delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced.’ The 1600 Giulia Spider being offered for sale here is the 63rd of only 404 right-hand-drive cars to be built by the factory. All were completed during 1963, and according to the Museo Alfa Romeo archives, this car was built on 1 July that year. It was sold by Alfa Romeo the following April to Chipstead Motors Ltd of Holland Park in London. It was then registered new in the UK on 28 May 1964, and is subsequently thought to have remained in the long-term ownership of an Oxfordshire-based enthusiast. By 1998, when it was acquired by a new owner, it had been repainted white from its original dark blue but was in need of a full restoration. This was duly carried out and faithfully documented via a wealth of photographs, and the Alfa’s colour was changed to red. After the work was completed in the summer of 2004, the owner moved from the UK toNormandy and took the Spider with him. While he was in France, he drove it down to the Le Mans Classic, but then offered the car for sale in the UK in October 2007. It was once again bought by an Oxfordshire-based owner – up until that point, documents suggest that, apart from its French sojourn, it had been based in that county since first arriving in England in 1964. The Spider was sold again in 2013 via a well-known marque specialist, having been treated to a bare-metal repaint. New chromed bumpers and side grilles had also been fitted, plus new seat covers and carpets. More recent work has included an overhaul of the braking system and a rebuild of the carburettor in 2020. Then, the following year, a full gearbox rebuild was carried out with new synchro rings and oil seals, plus a new clutch. This exceptionally pretty and charismatic little sports car is now presented in lovely condition, comes with an extensive history file, and is ready to be used and enjoyed. 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS
One of 59 GTS Porsche Factory Examples Long-Term Single Family Ownership Porsche Updated to 270hp GTS “Club Sport” Specifications After Delivery Preservation Grade Example with Original Purchase Documentation This example is one of just 59 Carrera GTS models built. Completed July 3, 1981, it was delivered to the first owner, located in Germany. Shortly after taking delivery, the first owner commissioned Porsche to upgrade this GTS with the highly desirable Porsche factory 270 hp Club Sport engine, installed March 3, 1982. Porsche invoiced service documentation included with the car, dated March 3, 1982, describes the installation of the 270hp Club Sport engine. Further records for service while under original ownership indicate May 4, 1982, with 1,378 kms and May 26, 1982, with 2,057 kms. The father of the current owner purchased this car in October 1984 where it was dispatched via sea shipment out of Stuttgart, Emden, through to port of San Francisco, CA, arriving December 14, 1984. This Porsche has since remained in Northern California under the same family ownership for the past 39 years. At the time of delivery, the odometer indicated 7,479 kilometers (4,647 miles). The father and son single family owners have since retained the car with preservation in mind, with a keen focus on preserving the original exterior features, the interior materials, and the unique body design details that make this GTS such a special part of Porsche history. Numerous original purchase documentation accompanies this rare example currently indicating a mere 8,800 kilometers (5,500 miles). Current Condition and Features of this GTS Today this rare and highly desirable Carrera GTS represents a fantastic opportunity for a preservation minded racing enthusiast to engage in a truly unique performance car. The vivid factory applied red paint is glossy throughout with overall finishes that are reflective of production quality from this era. Metal body surfaces have been digitally metered returning single digit numbers consistent with factory applied paint. There are a few minor areas that show signs of age in the paint finish, all of which are understandable given the historic preservation-based nature of this car. Rubber gaskets, seals, and anodized window trim are all in excellent condition. The handsome 15” staggered width Fuchs and Pirelli tires finish off the purposeful look and stance of the car. The distinctive offset NACA intake turbo hood and unique GTS front bumper and grille, combine with the wide GT body features to deliver an impressive statement, particularly in Guards Red. The glass, plexiglass side windows, body trim, emblems, lenses, and exterior body features are in excellent condition. The overall visual condition of the car is cohesive and impressive, especially considering the unique history, rarity of construction, and the uprated Club Sport 270 hp engine. The black factory configured interior features original materials and components which have been thoughtfully preserved including the dashboard, rare cloth covered racing seats, unique door panels, factory instrumentation, and Autoflug racing seat belts. The lightweight racing seats are in excellent condition showing only minor signs of use to the driver’s side seat. The interior is very much reflective of a preservation level Porsche that has been modestly enjoyed while still retaining a high level of cosmetic excellence. Even the dashboard, often cracked or dulled from excessive sun exposure, is in excellent condition. The rear storage compartment is clean and tidy, displaying the original carpet and correct factory seat belt mounting points. Every interior detail is consistent with factory original construction from the 5-speed manual shifter to the triple gauge center cluster (Bar, Oil temp, Volts) and ventilation controls, all of which remain in excellent preserved condition. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment are clean, nicely detailed and representative of factory correct condition, proper services, and generally thoughtful care.

Completed July 3, 1981, it was delivered to the first owner, located in Germany. Shortly after taking delivery, the first owner commissioned Porsche to upgrade this GTS with the highly desirable Porsche factory 270 hp Club Sport engine, installed March 3, 1982. Porsche invoiced service documentation included with the car, dated March 3, 1982, describes the installation of the 270hp Club Sport engine. Further records for service while under original ownership indicate May 4, 1982, with 1,378 kms and May 26, 1982, with 2,057 kms. The father of the current owner purchased this car in October 1984 where it was dispatched via sea shipment out of Stuttgart, Emden, through to port of San Francisco, CA, arriving December 14, 1984. This Porsche has since remained in Northern California under the same family ownership for the past 39 years. At the time of delivery, the odometer indicated 7,479 kilometers (4,647 miles). The father and son single family owners have since retained the car with preservation in mind, with a keen focus on preserving the original exterior features, the interior materials, and the unique body design details that make this GTS such a special part of Porsche history. Numerous original purchase documentation accompanies this rare example currently indicating a mere 8,800 kilometers (5,500 miles). Current Condition and Features of this GTS Today this rare and highly desirable Carrera GTS represents a fantastic opportunity for a preservation minded racing enthusiast to engage in a truly unique performance car. The vivid factory applied red paint is glossy throughout with overall finishes that are reflective of production quality from this era. Metal body surfaces have been digitally metered returning single digit numbers consistent with factory applied paint. There are a few minor areas that show signs of age in the paint finish, all of which are understandable given the historic preservation-based nature of this car. Rubber gaskets, seals, and anodized window trim are all in excellent condition. The handsome 15” staggered width Fuchs and Pirelli tires finish off the purposeful look and stance of the car. The distinctive offset NACA intake turbo hood and unique GTS front bumper and grille, combine with the wide GT body features to deliver an impressive statement, particularly in Guards Red. The glass, plexiglass side windows, body trim, emblems, lenses, and exterior body features are in excellent condition. The overall visual condition of the car is cohesive and impressive, especially considering the unique history, rarity of construction, and the uprated Club Sport 270 hp engine. The black factory configured interior features original materials and components which have been thoughtfully preserved including the dashboard, rare cloth covered racing seats, unique door panels, factory instrumentation, and Autoflug racing seat belts. The lightweight racing seats are in excellent condition showing only minor signs of use to the driver’s side seat. The interior is very much reflective of a preservation level Porsche that has been modestly enjoyed while still retaining a high level of cosmetic excellence. Even the dashboard, often cracked or dulled from excessive sun exposure, is in excellent condition. The rear storage compartment is clean and tidy, displaying the original carpet and correct factory seat belt mounting points. Every interior detail is consistent with factory original construction from the 5-speed manual shifter to the triple gauge center cluster (Bar, Oil temp, Volts) and ventilation controls, all of which remain in excellent preserved condition. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment are clean, nicely detailed and representative of factory correct condition, proper services, and generally thoughtful care.
