- 1993-lancia-delta-hf-integrale-evoluzione-group-a
The Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V Group A In the first six years of the World Rally Championship’s Group A regulations, the Lancia Delta won every single Manufacturers’ title. Just think about the gravity of that achievement for a moment. In its multitude of successive evolutions and, of course, the legendary Works Lancia Martini Racing Team colours, the Delta racked up 46 victories on rallying’s world stage, in the hands of such motorsport legends as Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion and Markku Alén. The Delta HF Integrale 16V was the third competition variant of the model, introducing a raft of improvements over the outgoing 8V, predominantly focused around power. The FIA had introduced a power cap at 300HP, which left Abarth’s engineers instead chasing mid-range torque increases. The new four-valve-per-cylinder (16V) engine increased overall power from 280HP to 295HP, while a slightly smaller Garrett turbocharger was installed in order to reduce lag and increase throttle response. Further, electronically controlled fuel injection was a production first. “Twelve victories in 24 top-flight rallies, two World Rally Manufacturers’ Championships and one World Rally Driver’s Championship were satisfying rewards for a technical team that been chipping away at the Delta for a number of years.” The tightly packaged engine bay was made tighter still with the addition of a larger intercooler, more air inlets and, of course, that chunkier 16-valve head, which necessitated the characteristic ‘hump’ in the bonnet. Other mechanical enhancements included the fitment of larger-diameter brakes and a more reliable and efficient electronic management system. Twelve victories in 24 top-flight rallies, two World Rally Manufacturers’ Championships and one World Rally Driver’s Championship were satisfying rewards for a technical team that been chipping away at the Delta for a number of years. Chassis no. 500852 A full Works-specification car born in Lancia’s Reparto Corse skunkworks, this Delta HF Integrale 16V is chassis number 500852, which was built to tarmac specification. Competing in the World Rally Championship under the factory Lancia Martini Racing Team banner, the car’s maiden competitive outing came in the 59th Monte-Carlo Rally – an event the Torinese marque had won for the preceding five years. Bearing the Turin registration ‘TO 92330P’, the car was earmarked for Miki Biasion, the Italian double World Rally Champion and the man perhaps more closely associated with the Group A Delta than any other. Alongside him was his longtime co-driver Tiziano Siviero. The traditional opening round of the season, ‘The Monte’ has always presented manufacturers and drivers with the ultimate challenge: conditions that change from dry to icy to snowy and back to dry, often all in the space of one special stage. As a result, tyres and tyre choice play a hugely significant role on the Côte d'Azur, with the strategists and drivers working closely together to pre-empt the evolving conditions and one-up their competitors. For Miki Biasion, a poor early tyre choice coupled with a persistent brake issue quickly left him out of contention for the outright lead. However, the Italian demonstrated his deft skill and mature race craft to remain in the hunt with this Delta, scrapping and squabbling with fellow Lancia pupil Bruno Saby for third position. When Lancia’s leading man, Didier Auriol, retired on the closing leg, Biasion was promoted to an unexpected yet very welcome second position overall. Save for one further outing during a factory test in Savona, this Delta was, unusually, not used again in 1991 and instead returned to the factory in Turin. At some point in 1992, chassis number 500852 was upgraded by Abarth to the ultimate HF Integrale ‘Evo’ specification, which is more commonly referred to as ‘Deltona’. The car which awarded Lancia its record 10th World Rally Championship Manufacturers’ title is distinguished most obviously by its muscular and boxy wheel arches and more pronounced rear wing. Beneath the surface, efforts were focused on freeing even more power from the 16-valve engine. With the Works Lancia Martini Racing Team having ceased its official competition activities at the end of 1991, it fell to the marque’s de-facto ‘satellite’ team Jolly Club to defend Lacia’s honour on the world stage. Resplendent in its striking new Repsol livery, chassis number 500852 was drafted into competitive action once again, tackling both the New Zealand and Spanish rounds of the World Rally Championship in the hands of the Uruguayan rally veteran Gustavo Trelles. The curtain-closing event for this Lancia Delta came in Gran Canaria at the very end of 1993. The Race of Champions was in its infancy, but a princely prize fund attracted a raft of great current and former champions from various disciplines. For 1993’s ‘Rally Masters’ edition of the Race of Champions, the double World Rally Champion Carlos Sainz was earmarked to race this Lancia on the technical 2.6km Circuito Islas Canarias. The beauty of this particular event’s format, however, was that the Spaniard’s decorated opponents – in this case Didier Auriol, Ari Vatanen and François Delecour – were all required to race his car in a heat, too. In the winter Spanish sun, Sainz ousted Markku Alén and Ari Vatanen from the competition in the preliminary heats, before facing off against his WRC nemesis, Toyota’s Didier Auriol, in a spectacular final. Alas, Auriol snatched victory by a whisker – partly due to the fact that Sainz clattered a haybale. That small contretemps is worth remembering at this point. Unusually, chassis number 539663 was not entered in any further rallies and instead returned to Lancia in Turin, where it remained until October of 1996. Crucially, the car was never restored. And that means the small section of damage to the bodywork sustained by Sainz during that Race of Champions final was never fixed, standing as a testament to the sheer, dogged effort of a World Rally Champion on the ragged edge. As Fiat Auto S.p.A. Gestione Sportiva correspondence accompanying this Delta illustrates, the factory sold this car, untouched since its final Race of Champions outing, to a Greek collector by the name of Gans Volkmar. In doing so, it also confirmed the brief Works competition history of the car: Monte-Carlo with Miki Biasion (2nd overall), New Zealand & Spain with Gustavo Trelles (7th and 6th overall) and the Race of Champions with Sainz (2nd overall). “The small section of mild cosmetic damage sustained by Sainz during that Race of Champions final stands as a testament to the sheer, dogged effort of a World Rally Champion on the ragged edge.” In 2016, chassis number 539663 was submitted for Lancia Classiche certification – certification it duly received. And in 2018, it joined the UK-based collection of its current owner. Fittingly, he boasts a remarkable assembly of competition Lancias. Since then, this Delta not been exhibited in public since. Serviced and presented in full running condition, chassis number 500852 is accompanied by a generous history file and its original dated carbon-Kevlar racing seats and seatbelts. Finding a completely original podium-finishing ex-Lancia Martini Racing Team Delta HF Integrale that was raced by two World Rally Champions, retired and retained by the factory, and not subsequently rallied extensively in private hands is incredibly rare. Encountering such a car that’s had just two owners in the last 28 years is even more extraordinary. 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione Group A Girardo & Co.

- 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL
The production of the 250 SL started in December 1966. The engine and brakes were slightly modified from the 250 SE. The power output corresponds to that of the 230 SL, but a significantly higher torque of 216 Nm is achieved at the same engine speed (4200 rpm), which primarily results in improved acceleration. 250 SLs are the rarest examples of the W 113 series due to the fact that they were only built for just over a year. 5,186 were produced. According to available documents, this 250 SL was delivered to the USA on 21 May 1967 and returned to Germany in the 1990s. The car has been partially restored to its original condition and has undergone regular maintenance in recent years. The vehicle has a German historic registration. A Classic Data valuation report is available. Last but not least, the car impresses with its contemporary colour scheme and its untouched condition.

- 1999 Ferrari F355 F1 GTS
Cambelt change in 2022. Switchgear re-furbished. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was introduced in May 1994, as a direct replacement for the Ferrari 348. Initially it was only available with the more desirable 6 speed manual transmission. The emphasis behind the Pininfarina designed F355 was to improve performance, as well as drivability across a wider range of speeds and in different environments including lower city speeds. Built around a steel monocoque with tubular steel rear sub-frame. The 355 offered fully independent front and rear suspension with coil springs over gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers, electronic control servos and anti-roll bars. Aerodynamic design for the car included over 1,300 hours of wind tunnel analysis. The car incorporates a “Nolder” profile on the upper portion of the tail, and fairing on the underbody that generates negative lift when the car is at speed. Apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litre, the major difference between the V8 engine in the F348 and F355 is the introduction of a 5-valve per cylinder head, hence the name F355 – 3.5l and 5 valves per cylinder. This new head design allowed for better air intake and resulted in a more powerful engine producing 370bhp at 8,250rpm, this resulted in a 0-60 mph of just 4.6 secs and onto a top speed of 183mph. As with all Ferrari’s only the best materials available at the time were used in their no expense sparred production. The Ferrari F355 F1 GTS offered here at Autostorico was supplied new in March 1999 by Mortimer Houghton Turner Ltd Ferrari. Finished in Tour de France Blue with Tan leather, this stunning four owner example has covered a mere 15,420 miles. Boasting a comprehensive service history have last been carried out by GTO Engineering Ltd at 15,143 miles. Specification highlights including Black brake callipers, Climate control, Original Ferrari tool and Tyre kit, 18” Alloy wheels, Ferrari shields and floor mats.l 1999 Ferrari F355 F1 GTS Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was introduced in May 1994, as a direct replacement for the Ferrari 348. Initially it was only available with the more desirable 6 speed manual transmission. The emphasis behind the Pininfarina designed F355 was to improve performance, as well as drivability across a wider range of speeds and in different environments including lower city speeds. Built around a steel monocoque with tubular steel rear sub-frame. The 355 offered fully independent front and rear suspension with coil springs over gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers, electronic control servos and anti-roll bars. Aerodynamic design for the car included over 1,300 hours of wind tunnel analysis. The car incorporates a “Nolder” profile on the upper portion of the tail, and fairing on the underbody that generates negative lift when the car is at speed. Apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litre, the major difference between the V8 engine in the F348 and F355 is the introduction of a 5-valve per cylinder head, hence the name F355 – 3.5l and 5 valves per cylinder. This new head design allowed for better air intake and resulted in a more powerful engine producing 370bhp at 8,250rpm, this resulted in a 0-60 mph of just 4.6 secs and onto a top speed of 183mph. As with all Ferrari’s only the best materials available at the time were used in their no expense sparred production. The Ferrari F355 F1 GTS offered here at Autostorico was supplied new in March 1999 by Mortimer Houghton Turner Ltd Ferrari. Finished in Tour de France Blue with Tan leather, this stunning four owner example has covered a mere 15,420 miles. Boasting a comprehensive service history have last been carried out by GTO Engineering Ltd at 15,143 miles. Specification highlights including Black brake callipers, Climate control, Original Ferrari tool and Tyre kit, 18” Alloy wheels, Ferrari shields and floor mats.l Other Cars from Autostorico Partners LLP 1979-Ford-RS2000-Custom-01.jpg 1979-Ford-RS2000-Custom-02.jpg 1979-Ford-RS2000-Custom-15.jpg 1979-Ford-RS2000-Custom-01.jpg 1/15 1979 Ford RS2000 Custom Autostorico Partners LLP United Kingdom 1983-Lotus-Esprit-Turbo-01.jpg 1983-Lotus-Esprit-Turbo-02.jpg 1983-Lotus-Esprit-Turbo-20.jpg 1983-Lotus-Esprit-Turbo-01.jpg 1/20 1983 Lotus Esprit Turbo Autostorico Partners LLP United Kingdom 1997-Ford-GT40-Evocation-by-GTD-01.jpg 1997-Ford-GT40-Evocation-by-GTD-02.jpg 1997-Ford-GT40-Evocation-by-GTD-15.jpg 1997-Ford-GT40-Evocation-by-GTD-01.jpg 1/15 1997 Ford GT40 Evocation by GTD Autostorico Partners LLP United Kingdom Last Featured Cars 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-02.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-10.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1/10 1992 Subaru SVX DLS Automobile Germany 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-02.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-15.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1/15 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS IROC Evocation Classic Connection United Kingdom 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-02.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-20.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1/20 1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH Switzerland

- 1993 Jaguar XJS 6.0
A rare pre-Celebration model, bought new by our vendor's father, showing a shade over 32,000 miles today and the last of the "Big Cat" grand tourers. The Jaguar XJ-S is perhaps the only motorcar that overcame a hostile launch, multiple recessions, the industrial issues of the period and, incredibly for a single model, helped secure the future of another car manufacturer. Rarely acknowledged, it was the XJ-S that saved Aston Martin, providing, as it did, the basis for Aston’s DB7, the success of which guaranteed the marque’s future. Jaguar’s long awaited 1989 launch of the full convertible finally met the demand for British top-down luxury motoring, and at a reasonable price. The perfect car for the successful gentleman of a certain age wanting a comfortable convertible, the Jaguar cut an elegant dash. A faintly re-styled model, now branded as the XJS, was launched in 1991, sporting 'smoked' wrap-around rear lights and an improved interior with more conventional instrument displays. Two engines were made available, the 6.0-litre V12 and the AJ6-derived 4.0-litre. From 1993, the XJS was produced with colour-coded bumpers and these earlier cars are often mistaken for the 'Celebration' model launched in 1995. The earlier, pre-1995, cars are easy to identify by their leather-trimmed gear selector capped at each end in chrome. Our vendor’s late father firmly believed that a “Big Cat” should be powered by a V12, as his previous E-Type had been, and specified this car with the 6.0-litre V12 when ordering it in the Surrey showrooms of Guy Salmon Jaguar in June 1993 at a cost of £51,603, as confirmed by the accompanying order form and Bill of Sale. The car was delivered a few months later on 25th August 1993, finished in Solent Blue with magnolia leather and a blue mohair hood. Interestingly, this XJS is perhaps one of the last to have been specified with lattice alloy wheels from new. The car was enjoyed by our vendor’s father until his sad passing in 2006, whereupon it was registered in our vendor’s name on 17th June 2006. Presented to auction with a shade over 32,000 miles at the time of cataloguing, the toolkit is present whilst the detailed history file boasts the original order form, Bill of Sale, previous MOTs, receipts, tax discs and brochures. The Jaguar-embossed green wallet includes the service book, handbooks and radio code booklet. The advisory free MOT is valid until 16th October 2023 and the accompanying V5C confirms our vendor as the second registered keeper. Like all low slung cars, the XJS has inevitably collected a few stone chips along the way, as seen in the photographs, but these are not hard to rectify. The 'Big Cat' had became an endangered species by the mid-1990s and the XJS was the last convertible V12 offered by Jaguar. Keenly estimated, we can think of no other comparable car with this much history that offers a modern driving experience with coachwork penned in the early 1970s and a quintessentially British interior. For those entering the classic car market for the first time, this rare motorcar ticks virtually every box whilst also presenting the seasoned enthusiast with a luxurious and powerful alternative to an older British classic. 1993 Jaguar XJS 6.0 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974-ferrari-308-gt4-lm
Luigi Chinetti and the North American Racing Team Among the greatest privateer racing teams, Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) was a staple of motorsport – both in American and Europe – for over 30 years. The equipe was born after a Christmas Eve conversation in 1946 between Chinetti and Ferrari, who’d kindled a friendship during their respective (and very successful) tenures as drivers at Alfa Romeo in the 1930s. Ferrari spoke of his plans to start building sports cars, which Chinetti thought potentially fruitful given his affluent friends in America, where he’d emigrated before the Second World War. Little did the pair know it, but this was to be the start of Luigi Chinetti Motors Inc. and, ultimately, the North American Racing Team. As well as becoming Ferrari’s official concessionaire in North America, Chinetti began providing Ferraris to wealthy individuals for racing purposes, along with his mechanical expertise and influence with the American racing authorities. Naturally, he relished the chance to drive the cars he was able to procure and his success was extensive, including wins at the Le Mans and Spa 24-hour races. “N.A.R.T. was supplied with a steady stream of competitive ex-Works racing cars, while the exposure and success on the track was effective advertising for Ferrari, especially in North America. It was a win-win scenario.” For over three decades, N.A.R.T. took on the factory might at high-profile races across the world, working with a small group of loyal volunteers and employees. Highlights were plentiful, but undoubtedly the greatest achievement was the brilliant albeit unexpected outright win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965. Suffice to say, it was a mutually beneficial relationship between Chinetti and Ferrari – N.A.R.T. was supplied with a steady stream of competitive ex-Works racing cars, which enticed famous drivers and indulgent amateurs alike, while the exposure and success on the track was effective advertising for Ferrari, especially in North America. It was a win-win scenario. Over the course of its history, N.A.R.T. raced its fair share of left-field cars, not least the Chevrolet Corvette and the Sunbeam Alpine. This car, the unique Ferrari 308 GT4 LM, is another which falls under the same umbrella. The ‘Dinotto’ The oil crisis of the 1970s was a curious time for Ferrari dealers. And particularly so for those in the United States, a market which had outlawed the then-flagship V12-powered 365 GT4 BB and 365 GT4 on the grounds of emissions. As a result, in 1975, the only new Ferrari Americans could buy was the wedge-shaped 308 GT4 – a car which didn’t actually have the Prancing Horse emblem on its nose, but rather a square badge bearing the name Dino. Chassis 08020 captured inside the Ferrari factory during its early development phase Chinetti needed to raise demand for the baby 308 GT4 and fast. The most logical course of action? Take the car racing, of course. An approach was made to Enzo Ferrari in Maranello and once a wealthy backer had been found in the form of the Los Angeles-based collector Bill Schanbacher, factory development work began on the first – and only – 308 GT4 LM. We spoke with Dick Fritz, who served as N.A.R.T.’s team manager for many years, about the car’s conception. “Chinetti’s belief in the concept and his famous powers of persuasion were why the 308 GT4 LM came to be,” Fritz told us. “I’m not sure it was something the factory itself believed would be a success. But Chinetti always maintained that if sales of a particular new car were low, racing it was a surefire way of boosting its commercial appeal. That the 308 GT4 was the only new Ferrari customers could buy in the United States in 1974 only strengthened Chinetti’s case to the factory.” First, the ingegneri in Maranello subjected chassis number 08020 (among the earliest GT4s built) to a crash diet. The heavy steel panels, floors and wheel arches were replaced with lightweight aluminium or glass-fibre and the glass windows swapped out with Plexiglass, while the chassis was shaved of weight wherever possible. Competition-specification braking and suspension systems were installed, in addition to a single 180-litre endurance fuel tank. The characteristic angular Bertone bodywork was given an aerodynamic makeover with the addition of flared wheel arches, dams and intakes feeding various ducts and an enormous ‘whale-tail’ rear spoiler. There were a number of neat competition-oriented mechanical enhancements to the body, too, including gearbox oil and water inlets on each hip and a subtle external pipe reading the current fuel level. In the end, Ferrari was able to shave an astonishing 200kg from the production 308 GT4. Combined with a transversely mounted V8 upgraded with various 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ Competizione components to produce a healthy 300bhp at 8,200rpm, the 308 GT4 LM was quick. One-hundred and seventy miles-per-hour quick. During the development period, a number of discreet tests were held on the marque’s hallowed Fiorano test-track, much to the intrigue and delight of the Italian press, which fervently christened the mysterious new Ferrari silhouette racer the ‘Dinotto’. Le Mans, 1974 Finished in its signature N.A.R.T livery, chassis number 08020 was sent from Italy directly to its first race: the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans. Because of the nuanced homologation rules and requirements for the different categories in which cars could compete at Le Mans, the 308 GT4 LM found itself in somewhat of a grey area. “Because of the nuanced homologation rules and requirements for the different categories in which cars could compete at Le Mans, the 308 GT4 LM found itself in somewhat of a grey area.” The only class for which it was technically eligible was Group 5, since the 308 GT4 was too new and not enough of them had yet been built to satisfy the Group 3 and Group 4 requirements. The trouble was that while Group 5 had no minimum production requirement, it was the category specifically for the all-out purpose-built prototypes. Cars capable of winning the race outright. Nevertheless, N.A.R.T. and the drivers poised to be driving the ‘Dinotto’ at La Sarthe, Giancarlo Gagliardi and Jean-Louis Lafosse, were undeterred. It’s fair to say the 308 GT4 LM was in good company in the N.A.R.T. camp – the team fielded five cars at that year’s 24 Hours: three Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ Competiziones and an older Ferrari 312P which had been modified to resemble the angular 312 P/B. The 308 GT4 LM’s maiden outing on the Circuit de la Sarthe during the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans Bizarrely, because of the homologation quandary, chassis 8020 was technically competing against the latter prototype and not the GT ‘Daytonas’ against which it was more equally matched. In fact, Gagliardi and Lafosse’s qualifying spot of 38th would have been good for 16th position in the GT class. Impressive for a brand new racing car with limited testing under its belt. Alas, after four hours and 30 laps of the race, clutch failure forced chassis number 08020 into retirement. Le Mans, 1975 Clearly encouraged by its performance at Le Mans, Enzo Ferrari blessed Chinetti with permission to enter the ‘Dinotto’ in the following year’s edition of the world’s greatest endurance motor race. The occasion was to present arguably the most controversial moment in the fabled N.A.R.T. story. Le Mans in 1975 was curious in that it was not included as a round in the World Sportscar Championship. As such, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) had a bone to pick with Mr. Chinetti, whose N.A.R.T. outfit was fielding four cars, including a fascinating Michelotti-bodied 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’. Is there another competition car whose entire résumé was recorded on the Circuit de la Sarthe Despite Gagliardi and his new American teammate Harley Cluxton putting on a fine showing in pre-qualifying with the 308 GT4 LM, the ACO unfairly argued that the car was not quick enough compared with the Group 5 prototypes with which it was grouped and disqualified it. Fuming and visibly stressed, Chinetti threatened to withdraw all of N.A.R.T.’s cars should the decision be upheld. Junior driver Harley Cluxton concludes the story better than we ever could, so we’ll afford him the pleasure. “Oh, [Chinetti] was hot. You know, here he was – a three-time winner and N.A.R.T. had won the race in 1965. They’d even made him an honorary citizen of Le Mans, for God’s sake! None of the drivers had any idea of what was going to happen because Chinetti was in with the ACO and with no factory entries, he was Ferrari at Le Mans.” “There was no decision until Saturday afternoon, after all the cars, including the all four N.A.R.T. Ferraris, were lined up on the pre-grid. Finally word came down that the ACO would not relent and the 308 GT4 LM was to be excluded. We were all in our cars ready to go and Chinetti came out, walked down the pit lane and just said ‘Out!’ to all of us.” Barely an hour before the start of the race, he was forced to concede defeat. Call it passion or arrogance, the rules were the rules. The aftermath Despite the wholly controversial circumstances in which this Ferrari made its final competitive appearance, Chinetti retained chassis number 08020 for almost a decade, before selling to the US-based collector Howard Torman. Torman enjoyed several outings at North American historic racing events including the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca. “The penultimate owner made the pilgrimage back to Maranello to have the car’s authenticity as a factory-built racing car certified by the Classiche department.” The next – and penultimate – owner of the 308 GT4 LM, a prominent Ferrari collector based in the UK, acquired the car in 1999. Not only did he commission a thorough recommissioning to return the Ferrari to optimum running conditions, but he also made the pilgrimage back to Maranello to have the car’s authenticity as a factory-built racing car certified by the Classiche department. In a fitting turn of events, chassis 08020 was returned to the history steeped asphalt of the Circuit de la Sarthe for both the 2004 and 2006 editions of the Le Mans Classic. It was a real treat to play a hand in selling this unique Ferrari thoroughbred and Le Mans veteran to its current owner in the summer of 2022. And it’s an honour to be entrusted with finding the ‘Dinotto’ an equally great new home once again. An unlikely candidate for a factory competition makeover, the Bertone-styled 308 GT4 is a fascinating chapter of the Ferrari story from an exciting period of aesthetic and commercial change for the Prancing Horse. Thinking about it, the decision to take it racing made perfect sense, even if it didn’t turn out to be the success story Il Commendatore and Chinetti had envisaged. That also is a testament to Chinetti, a man whose passion for life and motorsport, tenacity and ability to wield influence with the right names – be it marques, customers, racing drivers or authorities – has written him not only into Ferrari folklore, but that of motorsport in general. Conversation-starting collector cars don’t often come as interesting as this.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Luigi Chinetti and the North American Racing Team Among the greatest privateer racing teams, Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) was a staple of motorsport – both in American and Europe – for over 30 years. The equipe was born after a Christmas Eve conversation in 1946 between Chinetti and Ferrari, who’d kindled a friendship during their respective (and very successful) tenures as drivers at Alfa Romeo in the 1930s. Ferrari spoke of his plans to start building sports cars, which Chinetti thought potentially fruitful given his affluent friends in America, where he’d emigrated before the Second World War. Little did the pair know it, but this was to be the start of Luigi Chinetti Motors Inc. and, ultimately, the North American Racing Team. As well as becoming Ferrari’s official concessionaire in North America, Chinetti began providing Ferraris to wealthy individuals for racing purposes, along with his mechanical expertise and influence with the American racing authorities. Naturally, he relished the chance to drive the cars he was able to procure and his success was extensive, including wins at the Le Mans and Spa 24-hour races. “N.A.R.T. was supplied with a steady stream of competitive ex-Works racing cars, while the exposure and success on the track was effective advertising for Ferrari, especially in North America. It was a win-win scenario.” For over three decades, N.A.R.T. took on the factory might at high-profile races across the world, working with a small group of loyal volunteers and employees. Highlights were plentiful, but undoubtedly the greatest achievement was the brilliant albeit unexpected outright win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965. Suffice to say, it was a mutually beneficial relationship between Chinetti and Ferrari – N.A.R.T. was supplied with a steady stream of competitive ex-Works racing cars, which enticed famous drivers and indulgent amateurs alike, while the exposure and success on the track was effective advertising for Ferrari, especially in North America. It was a win-win scenario. Over the course of its history, N.A.R.T. raced its fair share of left-field cars, not least the Chevrolet Corvette and the Sunbeam Alpine. This car, the unique Ferrari 308 GT4 LM, is another which falls under the same umbrella. The ‘Dinotto’ The oil crisis of the 1970s was a curious time for Ferrari dealers. And particularly so for those in the United States, a market which had outlawed the then-flagship V12-powered 365 GT4 BB and 365 GT4 on the grounds of emissions. As a result, in 1975, the only new Ferrari Americans could buy was the wedge-shaped 308 GT4 – a car which didn’t actually have the Prancing Horse emblem on its nose, but rather a square badge bearing the name Dino. Chassis 08020 captured inside the Ferrari factory during its early development phase Chinetti needed to raise demand for the baby 308 GT4 and fast. The most logical course of action? Take the car racing, of course. An approach was made to Enzo Ferrari in Maranello and once a wealthy backer had been found in the form of the Los Angeles-based collector Bill Schanbacher, factory development work began on the first – and only – 308 GT4 LM. We spoke with Dick Fritz, who served as N.A.R.T.’s team manager for many years, about the car’s conception. “Chinetti’s belief in the concept and his famous powers of persuasion were why the 308 GT4 LM came to be,” Fritz told us. “I’m not sure it was something the factory itself believed would be a success. But Chinetti always maintained that if sales of a particular new car were low, racing it was a surefire way of boosting its commercial appeal. That the 308 GT4 was the only new Ferrari customers could buy in the United States in 1974 only strengthened Chinetti’s case to the factory.” First, the ingegneri in Maranello subjected chassis number 08020 (among the earliest GT4s built) to a crash diet. The heavy steel panels, floors and wheel arches were replaced with lightweight aluminium or glass-fibre and the glass windows swapped out with Plexiglass, while the chassis was shaved of weight wherever possible. Competition-specification braking and suspension systems were installed, in addition to a single 180-litre endurance fuel tank. The characteristic angular Bertone bodywork was given an aerodynamic makeover with the addition of flared wheel arches, dams and intakes feeding various ducts and an enormous ‘whale-tail’ rear spoiler. There were a number of neat competition-oriented mechanical enhancements to the body, too, including gearbox oil and water inlets on each hip and a subtle external pipe reading the current fuel level. In the end, Ferrari was able to shave an astonishing 200kg from the production 308 GT4. Combined with a transversely mounted V8 upgraded with various 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ Competizione components to produce a healthy 300bhp at 8,200rpm, the 308 GT4 LM was quick. One-hundred and seventy miles-per-hour quick. During the development period, a number of discreet tests were held on the marque’s hallowed Fiorano test-track, much to the intrigue and delight of the Italian press, which fervently christened the mysterious new Ferrari silhouette racer the ‘Dinotto’. Le Mans, 1974 Finished in its signature N.A.R.T livery, chassis number 08020 was sent from Italy directly to its first race: the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans. Because of the nuanced homologation rules and requirements for the different categories in which cars could compete at Le Mans, the 308 GT4 LM found itself in somewhat of a grey area. “Because of the nuanced homologation rules and requirements for the different categories in which cars could compete at Le Mans, the 308 GT4 LM found itself in somewhat of a grey area.” The only class for which it was technically eligible was Group 5, since the 308 GT4 was too new and not enough of them had yet been built to satisfy the Group 3 and Group 4 requirements. The trouble was that while Group 5 had no minimum production requirement, it was the category specifically for the all-out purpose-built prototypes. Cars capable of winning the race outright. Nevertheless, N.A.R.T. and the drivers poised to be driving the ‘Dinotto’ at La Sarthe, Giancarlo Gagliardi and Jean-Louis Lafosse, were undeterred. It’s fair to say the 308 GT4 LM was in good company in the N.A.R.T. camp – the team fielded five cars at that year’s 24 Hours: three Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ Competiziones and an older Ferrari 312P which had been modified to resemble the angular 312 P/B. The 308 GT4 LM’s maiden outing on the Circuit de la Sarthe during the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans Bizarrely, because of the homologation quandary, chassis 8020 was technically competing against the latter prototype and not the GT ‘Daytonas’ against which it was more equally matched. In fact, Gagliardi and Lafosse’s qualifying spot of 38th would have been good for 16th position in the GT class. Impressive for a brand new racing car with limited testing under its belt. Alas, after four hours and 30 laps of the race, clutch failure forced chassis number 08020 into retirement. Le Mans, 1975 Clearly encouraged by its performance at Le Mans, Enzo Ferrari blessed Chinetti with permission to enter the ‘Dinotto’ in the following year’s edition of the world’s greatest endurance motor race.

The stakes couldn’t have been higher. The technological advancements in the 1980s through the developed use of turbocharging saw motorsport and road cars catapult forward in terms of pace. With the race to 200mph in full swing, road and race cars alike saw power jump into the high 300s, 400s and beyond. After the launch and success of Ferrari’s 288 GTO in 1984 with innovative, lightweight composite body panelling and a turbocharged powerplant offering both high power and torque, every year brought faster and faster variants. When Ferrari started production of the 288 GTO in 1984, Porsche had been in Africa with its 953. A naturally aspirated 911 with a manually adjustable four-wheel-drive system, designed specifically for the task but as a testbed for various systems, the car took victory at the Paris-Dakar rally. In terms of the technological race, Ferrari’s GTO was virtually stationary compared to Porsche’s efforts. This victory at Dakar marked a significant achievement for Porsche. The future of the 911 was in doubt already with the creation of the 924, 944 and 928 suggesting Porsche would ditch its roots in favour of a more traditional front-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout. Despite an internal battle over the future of front-engined over rear-engined layout, the win enabled chief engineer Helmuth Bott, to continue the development of a secret, ‘Super 911’. If it were to be the last ‘911’ instalment, it needed to conquer all; on the road, on the race track and even the rally scene too. In the wake of the 1973 OPEC oil embargo and ensuing crisis, which lead to slowing down of technical development; motorsport regulations were changed to form Group B. This ‘no-limits’ motorsport was created to once more inspire technological innovation in all aspects of automotive research and development. Porsche were keen to get in the action, developing the 953 into the 959 with the addition of twin turbochargers; the FIA regulation stipulated 200 production cars would be needed to comply. The ‘Gruppe B’ concept was first shown in 1983, the 959 prototypes were built in 1985 and the first customer cars weren’t shipped until 1987. This meant that after Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresta’s fatal crash at the 1986 Tour de Corse, by the time the cars were in customers hands, the era of Group B was over. Whilst the 959 has long stood as Porsche's response to Ferrari's 288 GTO, the original supercar and arriving two years before Ferrari’s iconic F40, it was a very German approach to speed. Unlike the 288, it introduced technological features that were unheard of in the automotive market and provided an excellent platform for Porsche to prove their engineering mettle. In addition to its world-beating performance, the 959 was not only very in keeping with the marque’s design language, but most importantly it was usable on a day-to-day basis. Bott had earmarked 29 911 Turbo 3.3s to form the basis of the 959 prototype and pre-production cars. The engine shared very little with the 930’s turbocharged 3.3-litre flat-six. Instead it was more closely related to that of the 956 & 962 race cars – water cooled cylinder heads and dual, sequential turbochargers. An extensive array of motorsport-grade parts saw the 959 benefit from titanium con rods, forged alloy pistons and Nikasil-lined cylinders. Powered by an all-alloy 2.85-litre flat-six, the 959 generated a peak power output of 450hp.In ‘Komfort’ specification, this was already 55bhp more than the 288’s 394bhp. In ‘Sport’ trim, the 959 produced 510hp, or over 100 bhp more than the Ferrari. Whilst the Komfort was good for 197mph, Porsche claimed the Sport would eclipse that speed by just 1 mph. True to form, that claim was rather conservative and in reality, the Sport would reach 211mph. The intricate four-wheel-drive system featured a complex computer-controlled torque split, helping deploy its power and resulting in a 0-60 sprint of just 3.9 seconds. The 959 was a technological tour-de-force; ABS brakes, tyre pressure sensors, adjustable ride height, hollow-spoke magnesium wheels and a six-speed (5+1) gearbox. This was all offered with the expected Porsche luxuries-not least a totally usable Porsche interior. These innovations would later become mainstays in the automotive industry, later showing that Porsche’s engineers were years ahead of their time when developing the 959. The 959 was built using the standard 911's galvanized steel body shell but with composite Kevlar reinforced plastic wings, rocker covers, roof panel, and an aluminium bonnet and door skins. Compared to Porsche's other ventures in the 1980s, particular attention was paid to aerodynamic efficiency in the 959, including a flat bottom, resulting in a 0.31 coefficient of drag (compared to the same year 911 Turbo, which scored a 0.40 Cd). The transmission had six forward gears, although at the time Porsche did not have a homologated ‘6-speed’. Instead the gearbox in the 959 was a more traditional 5-speed, with an additional low range 1st gear. Each wheel received ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic assist and ABS. The transaxle tube included Porsche's PSK variable-centre differential, which managed the torque divisions between the front and rear axle. A second PSK was fitted in the rear axle to work as a form of limited-slip differential. This setup allowed the driver to adapt to road conditions by selecting between 'traction,' 'ice and snow,' 'wet' and 'dry' settings. The 959 even featured the world’s first run flat tyres, Bridgestone’ RE71 Denloc. In the mid-1980s, Porsche was in trouble, big trouble. At the time they were a relatively small, independent company and as such - they would reportedly lose the same as the asking price of nigh on £150k, for every single 959 built; a car that they would in fact struggle to sell at all. The 959 was a fascinating feat of engineering, not least for a business struggling so heavily at the time, its arguably a miracle the project was seen through – even going the other way in 1987 when Porsche reluctantly built the production version and curtailed production in 1988 after just 292 examples. Commonly misunderstood that Porsche simply could not afford to give four cars to the United States for their crash testing requirements, they had instead saved on development costs designing and testing to European safety standards only. Nevertheless, the 959 was not lost on U.S. enthusiasts and collectors and there were some efforts to import a modified Sport into the U.S. for track use only. The Sport saw a 100 kg weight loss over the Komfort, although mechanically the cars were identical. A factory power upgraded with larger turbochargers and revised internals was available that boosted power by 70bhp to 520 bhp. The exceedingly complex suspension setup was discarded in favour of more conventional coil-over setup. The interior was pared back too; air-conditioning was removed, wind up windows installed, radio deleted and rear seats omitted along with central locking and even the passenger wing mirror. The interior gained a full leather-wrapped roll-cage, with the seats now revised and in cloth with four-point racing harnesses. All 959 Sport were completed to the exact same specification with just the colour being left to choice; Guards Red or Grand Prix White. Just 7 Rest of World 959 Sport examples were completed in 1987 with 1 further car in 1989. All of the 29 USA examples were completed in 1988. This example has been earmarked for delivery to Texan Le Mans entrant Jack Griffin, who’s unlikely friendship forged over a tennis match with a former Porsche Motorsport Director had seen him send a $60,000 deposit by cheque to Stuttgart. However when the US Environmental Protection Agency rejected the Sport as track-only sportscar, Porsche sent back his refund. Delivered through the Racing Department in Weissach, the car was sold to Italy in December of 1989, first registered in the name of company Effe Uno SpA of Bolzano. The business was operated by Pierluigi Rindi, a successful businessman in the textiles industry. Rindi would retain the car for 10 years before sale to Bergamo. In 1999, the car was registered to significant construction holding company. Keen Porsche lovers, the 959 joined a garage including their Mille Miglia entrant 356. The family would retain the car until June of 2014 when it was exported to Germany. Purchased by the current owner in September of 2014, the 959 was shortly thereafter returned to its Stuttgart home for a comprehensive overhaul. Purchased with just 16,700 miles from new, the current custodian requested Porsche Classic carry out a thorough inspection ahead of remedial works. With a worklist outlined, Porsche Classic overhauled the 959 at a cost of just over €200,000, of which a quarter was spent on the engine alone. At the time of the overhaul, this example received the Porsche factory power upgrade boosting output by 70bhp to just over 520bhp. Porsche Classic are presently overbooked for the Carrera GT and 918 recomissioning service and cannot accept any further restorative works until 2030! Upon completion in 2017, the 959 Sport made its way to Hong Kong to reside within a prominent global collection. More recently this example has made its way to the UK, undergoing UK registration in 2022. Recent servicing has been carried out exclusively by Porsche Reading with the 959 receiving a minor service in October 2024. Today this 959 Sport presents superbly. Having been cared without consideration for expense and benefitting from a complete overhaul with Porsche Classic, this example has since been carefully stored and used sparingly. This 959 Sport will undergo a fresh service by Porsche Reading in March 2025 and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately 1989 Porsche 959 Sport D.K.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The stakes couldn’t have been higher. The technological advancements in the 1980s through the developed use of turbocharging saw motorsport and road cars catapult forward in terms of pace. With the race to 200mph in full swing, road and race cars alike saw power jump into the high 300s, 400s and beyond. After the launch and success of Ferrari’s 288 GTO in 1984 with innovative, lightweight composite body panelling and a turbocharged powerplant offering both high power and torque, every year brought faster and faster variants. When Ferrari started production of the 288 GTO in 1984, Porsche had been in Africa with its 953. A naturally aspirated 911 with a manually adjustable four-wheel-drive system, designed specifically for the task but as a testbed for various systems, the car took victory at the Paris-Dakar rally. In terms of the technological race, Ferrari’s GTO was virtually stationary compared to Porsche’s efforts. This victory at Dakar marked a significant achievement for Porsche. The future of the 911 was in doubt already with the creation of the 924, 944 and 928 suggesting Porsche would ditch its roots in favour of a more traditional front-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout. Despite an internal battle over the future of front-engined over rear-engined layout, the win enabled chief engineer Helmuth Bott, to continue the development of a secret, ‘Super 911’. If it were to be the last ‘911’ instalment, it needed to conquer all; on the road, on the race track and even the rally scene too. In the wake of the 1973 OPEC oil embargo and ensuing crisis, which lead to slowing down of technical development; motorsport regulations were changed to form Group B. This ‘no-limits’ motorsport was created to once more inspire technological innovation in all aspects of automotive research and development. Porsche were keen to get in the action, developing the 953 into the 959 with the addition of twin turbochargers; the FIA regulation stipulated 200 production cars would be needed to comply. The ‘Gruppe B’ concept was first shown in 1983, the 959 prototypes were built in 1985 and the first customer cars weren’t shipped until 1987. This meant that after Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresta’s fatal crash at the 1986 Tour de Corse, by the time the cars were in customers hands, the era of Group B was over. Whilst the 959 has long stood as Porsche's response to Ferrari's 288 GTO, the original supercar and arriving two years before Ferrari’s iconic F40, it was a very German approach to speed. Unlike the 288, it introduced technological features that were unheard of in the automotive market and provided an excellent platform for Porsche to prove their engineering mettle. In addition to its world-beating performance, the 959 was not only very in keeping with the marque’s design language, but most importantly it was usable on a day-to-day basis. Bott had earmarked 29 911 Turbo 3.3s to form the basis of the 959 prototype and pre-production cars. The engine shared very little with the 930’s turbocharged 3.3-litre flat-six. Instead it was more closely related to that of the 956 & 962 race cars – water cooled cylinder heads and dual, sequential turbochargers. An extensive array of motorsport-grade parts saw the 959 benefit from titanium con rods, forged alloy pistons and Nikasil-lined cylinders. Powered by an all-alloy 2.85-litre flat-six, the 959 generated a peak power output of 450hp.In ‘Komfort’ specification, this was already 55bhp more than the 288’s 394bhp. In ‘Sport’ trim, the 959 produced 510hp, or over 100 bhp more than the Ferrari. Whilst the Komfort was good for 197mph, Porsche claimed the Sport would eclipse that speed by just 1 mph. True to form, that claim was rather conservative and in reality, the Sport would reach 211mph. The intricate four-wheel-drive system featured a complex computer-controlled torque split, helping deploy its power and resulting in a 0-60 sprint of just 3.9 seconds. The 959 was a technological tour-de-force; ABS brakes, tyre pressure sensors, adjustable ride height, hollow-spoke magnesium wheels and a six-speed (5+1) gearbox. This was all offered with the expected Porsche luxuries-not least a totally usable Porsche interior. These innovations would later become mainstays in the automotive industry, later showing that Porsche’s engineers were years ahead of their time when developing the 959. The 959 was built using the standard 911's galvanized steel body shell but with composite Kevlar reinforced plastic wings, rocker covers, roof panel, and an aluminium bonnet and door skins. Compared to Porsche's other ventures in the 1980s, particular attention was paid to aerodynamic efficiency in the 959, including a flat bottom, resulting in a 0.31 coefficient of drag (compared to the same year 911 Turbo, which scored a 0.40 Cd). The transmission had six forward gears, although at the time Porsche did not have a homologated ‘6-speed’. Instead the gearbox in the 959 was a more traditional 5-speed, with an additional low range 1st gear. Each wheel received ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic assist and ABS. The transaxle tube included Porsche's PSK variable-centre differential, which managed the torque divisions between the front and rear axle. A second PSK was fitted in the rear axle to work as a form of limited-slip differential. This setup allowed the driver to adapt to road conditions by selecting between 'traction,' 'ice and snow,' 'wet' and 'dry' settings. The 959 even featured the world’s first run flat tyres, Bridgestone’ RE71 Denloc. In the mid-1980s, Porsche was in trouble, big trouble. At the time they were a relatively small, independent company and as such - they would reportedly lose the same as the asking price of nigh on £150k, for every single 959 built; a car that they would in fact struggle to sell at all. The 959 was a fascinating feat of engineering, not least for a business struggling so heavily at the time, its arguably a miracle the project was seen through – even going the other way in 1987 when Porsche reluctantly built the production version and curtailed production in 1988 after just 292 examples. Commonly misunderstood that Porsche simply could not afford to give four cars to the United States for their crash testing requirements, they had instead saved on development costs designing and testing to European safety standards only. Nevertheless, the 959 was not lost on U.S. enthusiasts and collectors and there were some efforts to import a modified Sport into the U.S. for track use only. The Sport saw a 100 kg weight loss over the Komfort, although mechanically the cars were identical. A factory power upgraded with larger turbochargers and revised internals was available that boosted power by 70bhp to 520 bhp. The exceedingly complex suspension setup was discarded in favour of more conventional coil-over setup. The interior was pared back too; air-conditioning was removed, wind up windows installed, radio deleted and rear seats omitted along with central locking and even the passenger wing mirror. The interior gained a full leather-wrapped roll-cage, with the seats now revised and in cloth with four-point racing harnesses. All 959 Sport were completed to the exact same specification with just the colour being left to choice; Guards Red or Grand Prix White. Just 7 Rest of World 959 Sport examples were completed in 1987 with 1 further car in 1989. All of the 29 USA examples were completed in 1988. This example has been earmarked for delivery to Texan Le Mans entrant Jack Griffin, who’s unlikely friendship forged over a tennis match with a former Porsche Motorsport Director had seen him send a $60,000 deposit by cheque to Stuttgart. However when the US Environmental Protection Agency rejected the Sport as track-only sportscar, Porsche sent back his refund. Delivered through the Racing Department in Weissach, the car was sold to Italy in December of 1989, first registered in the name of company Effe Uno SpA of Bolzano. The business was operated by Pierluigi Rindi, a successful businessman in the textiles industry. Rindi would retain the car for 10 years before sale to Bergamo. In 1999, the car was registered to significant construction holding company. Keen Porsche lovers, the 959 joined a garage including their Mille Miglia entrant 356. The family would retain the car until June of 2014 when it was exported to Germany. Purchased by the current owner in September of 2014, the 959 was shortly thereafter returned to its Stuttgart home for a comprehensive overhaul. Purchased with just 16,700 miles from new, the current custodian requested Porsche Classic carry out a thorough inspection ahead of remedial works. With a worklist outlined, Porsche Classic overhauled the 959 at a cost of just over €200,000, of which a quarter was spent on the engine alone. At the time of the overhaul, this example received the Porsche factory power upgrade boosting output by 70bhp to just over 520bhp. Porsche Classic are presently overbooked for the Carrera GT and 918 recomissioning service and cannot accept any further restorative works until 2030! Upon completion in 2017, the 959 Sport made its way to Hong Kong to reside within a prominent global collection. More recently this example has made its way to the UK, undergoing UK registration in 2022. Recent servicing has been carried out exclusively by Porsche Reading with the 959 receiving a minor service in October 2024. Today this 959 Sport presents superbly. Having been cared without consideration for expense and benefitting from a complete overhaul with Porsche Classic, this example has since been carefully stored and used sparingly. This 959 Sport will undergo a fresh service by Porsche Reading in March 2025 and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately Other Cars from D.K.

- 1967-jaguar-e-type-1
The Series 1 4.2 is regarded by many as being one of the most desirable of all Jaguar E-types, retaining the style of the early cars but featuring a number of significant improvements. The beautiful example being offered for sale here has completed only a handful of miles since a complete restoration. Chassis number 1E 14549 was originally a left-hand drive car that was dispatched from the factory to Jaguar Cars New York on 24 February 1967. Finished in Willow Green with a black interior, it was then delivered to its first owner – a William H Wilson. During the 1980s and 1990s, the E-type was owned by an enthusiast in Alameda, California, but by the time it was exported back to the UK in 2015 via a Florida-based specialist, it was in need of a total rebuild. The work was completed with no expense being spared. Renowned specialist Martin Robey carried out a full restoration on the Jaguar’s bodywork, while new engine side-frames and the ‘picture frame’ crossmember were also fitted–plus reinforced inner sills. The car was converted to right-hand drive, the engine, suspension and braking system were all rebuilt, the interior was retrimmed in its original colour, and the bodywork was treated to a painstaking eight-layer paint process during which it was refinished in black. The total cost of the restoration was more than £100,000, and the E-type was first registered in the UK in March 2020. It retains its matching-numbers engine (7E 11905-9) and is supplied with an extensive file of invoices and photographs that document the rebuild. Few cars from any era can match the style of a Series 1 E-type Roadster, and this example remains in exceptional condition following its return to the road. It’s a beautiful, fast and extremely usable choice of open-top sports car – just as it was during the 1960s. 1967 Jaguar E-Type The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The total cost of the restoration was more than £100,000, and the E-type was first registered in the UK in March 2020. It retains its matching-numbers engine (7E 11905-9) and is supplied with an extensive file of invoices and photographs that document the rebuild. Few cars from any era can match the style of a Series 1 E-type Roadster, and this example remains in exceptional condition following its return to the road. It’s a beautiful, fast and extremely usable choice of open-top sports car – just as it was during the 1960s.

- 1992 Lancia Delta Integrale EVO I
This vehicle is located in one of our European showrooms and is eligible for importation to the United States. Please contact us for more information. Price includes delivery to our Aiken, SC facility and all applicable title fees, insurance, bonds, duties, import taxes, and transportation charges. Vehicle will be sold with clean and clear South Carolina title. The Lancia Delta Integrale is a sporty hatchback that was produced by the Italian automaker Lancia from 1987 to 1994. The Delta Integrale was based on the Lancia Delta, a compact family car, but was transformed into a high-performance rally car through its evolution into the Integrale. The Delta Integrale made its debut in the 1987 World Rally Championship and quickly established itself as a dominant force in the competition, winning the championship six times in a row between 1987 and 1992. The Delta Integrale was powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and featured four-wheel drive, which gave it exceptional grip and handling. The first evolution of the Delta Integrale was the EVO 1, which was introduced in 1989. The EVO 1 was a significant update to the original Delta Integrale and included a number of modifications to improve its performance. Some of the key changes included a larger turbocharger, a modified intercooler, and revised suspension. The EVO 1 also featured cosmetic changes, such as a new front grille and a rear spoiler, which helped to improve its aerodynamics. The interior was also updated, with a new instrument panel and sport seats. The EVO 1 was produced for only one year, from 1991 to 1992, and is now highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. The Lancia Delta Integrale EVO 1 was a true rally icon, and its reputation as one of the greatest rally cars of all time is well deserved. Its combination of performance, handling, and versatility made it a popular choice for both rally drivers and road car enthusiasts, and it remains a beloved classic to this day. Introducing our beautiful 1992 Lancia Delta Integrale EVO 1, a true gem of a car with a rich history and character. Eduardo, her previous owner, purchased her back in 2003 and cherished her as part of his wonderful collection. As a collector, he was dedicated to preserving her originality and elegance, which is evident in her beautifully repainted Black Mica exterior. This unmolested and original Integrale is getting to be a rare find, and the metallic Black Mica paint paired with the green alcantara interior makes for a unique and eye-catching combination. The car has been well maintained and received a revised engine, and the original engine-block even comes with the car. She is now running on refurbished 17" Integrale wheels and comes with her original set of 15" rims with brand new winter tires, making her ready for any driving conditions. In addition to all of her stunning features, the car also comes with a lot of spare parts.

- 1973 Jensen Interceptor Series III
The Grand Tourers Collection was curated by a now deceased gentleman, who amassed some 38 cars at one stage. Each car stands on its own merits, and represents an era of stylish roadsters and hand-built coupes. Offered at No Reserve, the cars are worthy of serious attention. The Interceptor was as much Italian as British, designed as it was by Carrozzeria Touring with the bodyshells built by Vignale before being delivered to the West Bromwich factory to be paired with the inimitable 6.3-litre Chrysler V8 and mechanicals. When new, the Interceptor cost substantially more than an Aston Martin and was double the price of an E-Type Jaguar. One would struggle to find a connection between Frank Sinatra and Sir Matt Busby but both drove an Interceptor. The celebrity ownership list is extensive whilst the Interceptor's appearance on a slew of glamourous TV action series during the period gave the car a certain louche, playboy image. The Interceptor III, introduced in 1971, had a revised front grille, headlamp finishers and bumper treatment. It had GKN alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard, and revised seats. It was divided into G-, H-, and J-series depending on the production year. The 6.3-litre 383 ci engine was superseded by the 7.2-litre 440 ci in 1971. Jensen had fallen on hard times by 1975, owing to the then world-wide recession, and to problems with its Jensen-Healey sports car. The company was placed into receivership and the receivers allowed production to continue until the available cache of parts was exhausted. Production of the Interceptor ended in 1976, marking the end of an era. First registered on 1st September 1973, the incredibly detailed history file shows evidence of decades of maintenance from marque specialists, including the renowned Cropredy Bridge Cars. Offered from six year prior ownership, this charming car is presented with an odometer reading of 55,598 miles at the time of cataloguing, along with reams of receipts and a fresh MOT for the sale. A lovely example tantalizingly offered at without Reserve and worthy of serious attention. 1973 Jensen Interceptor Series III Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
