  • 1969-jaguar-e-type-42-ots

    Some sports cars made an impression once. Others continue to do so. The E-Type belongs to that rare class that transcends nostalgia. This particular Series 2 OTS was built on New Year’s Eve, 1968, and delivered to British Leyland in New York on February 11, 1969. Originally finished in Sable with a Cinnamon interior and black soft top, it still retains its original chassis number 1R8118 and matching engine number 7R 1909-9 — fully documented with the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. In 1998, the car was imported to the Netherlands and placed in a private collection, where it remained as a static museum piece for many years. In 2017, a comprehensive technical and cosmetic restoration began — and it was nothing short of remarkable. Everything that needed attention received it — and more. The engine was fully disassembled, rebuilt, and overhauled by a Jaguar specialist. The cylinder head was converted to run on unleaded fuel. The gearbox was professionally rebuilt, the drivetrain renewed and optimized, and the intake system, carburetors, ignition, and cooling were all fully addressed. Where possible, original parts were preserved; where desirable, technical improvements were made — including a stainless-steel exhaust, Spax shock absorbers, modern radiator with electric fans, and an electronic Revoltec fan controller. The bodywork received equal attention. Around 2000, the car was repainted in the iconic Primrose Yellow. Recently, paint and panels were partially corrected again. The soft top was reupholstered in high-quality mohair, including a matching top cover. The interior features elegant black leather. Seats were re-padded and re-trimmed, the dashboard was fully disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt using original or new components. The radio was replaced with a period-correct unit, and even the luggage area was retrimmed. Electrics were fully rewired, tested, and made functional. All lighting, inside and out, was either replaced or restored, including a set of new H4 headlights. The battery, cables, and wiper motor were all refurbished or renewed. As a finishing touch, this E-Type received several tasteful upgrades: wide chrome wire wheels with Cooper whitewall tires, chrome spinners, a chrome luggage rack, and even an electric antenna — controlled from a button on the dash. The restoration is thoroughly documented with a photo album and a thick stack of invoices and parts lists. Virtually every wear-and-tear item has been restored or replaced. Everything fits. Everything works. Everything shines. This E-Type is not just road-ready — it’s ready for its next chapter. Whether that’s a concours lawn, a coastal road in the sun, or a discerning collector’s garage — it will get there with flair, finesse, and that irresistible touch of British refinement. 1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 OTS Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce 1

    Italian automaker Alfa Romeo built the Giulietta series of cars from 1954 to 1965 in several body styles to appeal to all buyers, including a 2+2 coupé, four-door saloon, estate, spider, Sprint, and Sprint Speciale. The 2+2 coupé was the first to hit the scene, while the four-door saloon came along in 1955. That same year, the open two-seat Giulietta Spider with Pininfarina bodywork was launched to provide an alternative to those looking for open-top motoring along the Italian countryside. In 1956, Alfa Romeo switched from the Tipo 750 chassis to the Tipo 101 and also gave birth to the “Veloce” variant of the Spider. Directly translating as “fast” in Italian, the Spider Veloce gained 10 more hp than the regular Spider, bringing the total number to 90 hp thanks to twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors, 9:1 compression, a new cylinder head, 9mm valve stems, and bigger diameter crankshaft main journals. Early Alfas, produced in 1960, still used the “1495” prefix of the Tipo 750 chassis on the serial number before switching to the more appropriate “101.20” prefix. From 1956 to 1961, only 2,796 examples of the Spider Veloce were produced. This early example, Chassis # AR 1495.11327, began life on August 4th, 1960, and was sold to Hoffman Motor Car Co. in New York, NY, on the 27th of November, 1961. According to the Alfa Romeo Storico archives, this Spider Veloce was finished in black with beautifully contrasting red upholstery, a scheme it wears today. Under the hood is the 1.3 L DOHC Inline 4-cylinder engine with twin Weber 40 DCO3 carburetors backed by a 5-speed manual transmission. As the story goes, the car was purchased by its long-time owner, who is a good friend of LBI Limited, on Thanksgiving day of 1991 from Jerry Lucas of Lucas Racing Enterprises in Bethlehem, PA. Mr. Lucas came to the owner’s bar earlier in the week, asking if he would like to purchase the car. The owner snuck out shortly after Thanksgiving dinner to drive to Jerry’s shop and deliver the payment for the car. It is believed the car resided in the Bethlehem, PA, area for quite some time before this. At the time of purchase, the Alfa was largely dismantled with the engine removed. It underwent a restoration in the early 1990s at the hands of restorer Jed Steely. New floors were installed, the engine, suspension, transmission, and brakes were rebuilt, the body was refinished in its original color, the interior was re-trimmed, all chrome was replated, and a new top was installed. After completion in 1994, this Spider Veloce was a Concours-quality example and won First Place awards three years in a row at the New Hope Auto Show in Pennsylvania. In 2009, the engine was fully rebuilt from the ground up along with its driveshaft by Euro Auto Classics in Philadelphia, PA, a job that cost just under $9,000. After 20 years of ownership, the car was consigned through Gooding & Co., where it sold sometime in 2011. That same year, the Alfa received a brand-new Italian windshield that was also installed by Euro Auto Classics. In 2020, it was once more sold through Gooding & Co. to an owner in California. Under their ownership, the brakes were rebuilt by Werner Schott Classic Car Repair in Buellton, CA with the transmission receiving its own rebuild shortly after by The Smiekel Collection in Ventura, CA. This rare Spider Veloce stands out from the rest as the gold standard of what these classic sports cars should be like, with its restoration and numerous component rebuilds resulting in an example that drives as well as it looks. This Alfa was also the proud recipient of the coveted Alfa Romeo Owners Club Certificato d’Oro, with a near-perfect score of 99.3 at the 2010 AROC National Convention in Virginia. There are few things more enjoyable than cruising through the weekend in an open-top Italian sports car on the way to your local Concours lawn. We invite you to live out that vision in a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original jack, tool kit, owner’s manual, and numerous service records on file. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The body of this Giulietta Veloce is very solid and shows no issues with rust, corrosion or accidents that we could find. The body is straight down the sides, and all of the panels are in excellent condition with great panel gaps. The fit and finish of the bumpers, deco trim on the rockers hood and trunk latches, as well as the front grill and headlights, are all exceptional. In speaking with the old owner who oversaw the restoration, he confirmed that the floors and rockers were properly replaced but overall, the body was relatively rust-free to begin with prior to restoration. The paint is in excellent condition with no evidence of poor prep work or excessive aging. The paint was done many years ago and has still held up to be in excellent condition. If there was going to be any issues with the prep of the basecoat or aging elements of the paint, they would’ve shown up already. The paint is consistent with a deep shine and no excessive swirl marks, bubbles, or serious scratches. There are, of course, a handful of blemishes here and there, as to be expected from a car that was restored such a long time ago. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be original, with the correct securit insignias on the passenger and driver-side windows, and they are crack-free. The windshield is a quality replacement and is also free of cracking or chips, though it does have a couple of tiny bits of stone peppering. The passenger side window does have some streaking marks right in the center, as well as some tiny little chips that are evident on the exterior that could perhaps be buffed out. The rear window of the top is very clean and clear, with only some minor blemishes and fading. The top fabric is in excellent condition, and the top fits nicely. All of the rubber trim appears supple and crack-free with no issues to note. The chrome is in excellent condition for being redone so long ago. There is virtually no pitting or serious scratches anywhere. All of the chrome shines nicely and is very straight. None of the chrome was left out during the re-chroming process and all of the interior chrome has been redone as well as all of the smaller exterior chrome bits. The door handles show some slight age, as well as the trunk hinges, though nothing worth fixing. The interior gauge chrome bezels may be the only items on the car that haven’t been re-chromed, as they are original looking and some slight hazing/fade is present. Overall, the chrome is excellent, and we would still put it in the show condition category. Wheels The wheels look to be correct on all four sides, and the silver and stainless finishes are still in excellent condition with no serious blemishes to note except for a few minor blemishes. All four tires are correct looking Michelin XAS tires with 2014 and 2015 date codes so by time they should be replaced but the tread is still very good. Notable Flaws There are a few blemishes to note, including the biggest blemish,l of which is located on the driver-side fender wheel arch, where the tire must have been turned, and a pothole was hit, which bent the fender seam down slightly. This could likely be corrected with painless dent removal. On the trunk, just below the driver-side hinge, is a small 1-inch crack in the paint that is noticeable only under certain lights. There is also some minor stone peppering on the nose area, though only noticeable under a close eye. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is very nice looking for being done so long ago. The seats are in good shape with only slight sun fading, with the carpeting being in similar condition. The crinkle finish on the dash is in excellent condition, and the painted part of the dash is also in excellent condition, with clear gauges that all seem to function properly and tidy wiring components under the dash as well as a wheel that is crack-free and in excellent condition. The door cards are also very nice, with no issues to note. As stated before, the interior chrome is an excellent condition and has all been redone besides the gauge bezels. The area behind the seats houses the clean-looking spare tire, clean and supple rubber mats, as well as the original tools and jack all very tidy. The seatbacks have lost a slight amount of their tightness. Overall, the interior presents very well for an older restoration and has held up exceptionally well over the years. Functionality And Accessories All of the lights and gauges seem to function properly including the headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights, though the passenger brake light appears to be out. The fuel reserve light does seem to be stuck on even though the tank is half full. Otherwise, everything seems to be in good working order upon a cursory check. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay presents very well and was done to a very high standard when the car was initially restored. Attention to correctness was paid to multiple areas of the engine bay. With evidence of original stickers, clamps, original type carburetors, Marreli stickers, factory markings, and correct codings. All of the finishes have held up very nicely over the years, and the car could certainly be taken to the next level with just a bit of further attention, but it remains very resentable in its current state.The hood pad is in good condition with only minor blemishes. Trunk Area The trunk area is very tidy and correct and even shows factory spot welds in various places you would expect to see them. The biggest issue with the trunk would be under the rubber mat, there appears to have been trapped moisture at some point, creating some surface blemishing in the paint in the form of surface-level paint bubbling. To make it perfect once again, repainting it would be the best thing to do. Underside The underside is very tidy and correct with clear evidence that all of the work was done to a very high standard. There are no obvious issues to note. A good steam clean or dry ice cleaning of the underside would go along way to help in the overall presentation but the underside present very honestly as is. MECHANICALS Engine The engine fires to life after a few turns upon cold start. It idles nicely with choke until warm and makes good linear power throughout all of the gears with no odd noises or issues to note. Overall it sounds healthy and performs excellently. In the lower RPM range it stumbles a little bit sometimes as it likes to be revved out in the higher ranges of RPM. A slight carb adjustment will likely help to mitigate this a bit. Transmission Gear shifts are smooth up and down. No grinding or difficulty shifting was noted. The clutch engages right in the middle of the throw as it should, with no slipping or noticeable issues. Brakes And Suspension The brakes function as they should and do not squeak or chatter. There is nothing to be noted for brake issues or suspension issues. The suspension is firm feeling without any bounciness, though there is an occasional clunk in the driver’s side rear when going over larger bumps in a corner. Cornering in this car is an absolute pleasure overall. The car tracks straight down the road with no pulling to either side. Tires DRIVING EXPERIENCE Driving this car is a real treat. The quintessential classic sports car experience with all of the right sounds, shifts, wind in your hair, and all the thumbs ups you could ever want. This is an excellent older restoration done to a very high standard which shows through to its driving characteristics and overall presentation. 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Overall, the chrome is excellent, and we would still put it in the show condition category.

All four tires are correct looking Michelin XAS tires with 2014 and 2015 date codes so by time they should be replaced but the tread is still very good.

The area behind the seats houses the clean-looking spare tire, clean and supple rubber mats, as well as the original tools and jack all very tidy. The seatbacks have lost a slight amount of their tightness. Overall, the interior presents very well for an older restoration and has held up exceptionally well over the years. Functionality And Accessories All of the lights and gauges seem to function properly including the headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights, though the passenger brake light appears to be out. The fuel reserve light does seem to be stuck on even though the tank is half full. Otherwise, everything seems to be in good working order upon a cursory check. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay presents very well and was done to a very high standard when the car was initially restored. Attention to correctness was paid to multiple areas of the engine bay. With evidence of original stickers, clamps, original type carburetors, Marreli stickers, factory markings, and correct codings. All of the finishes have held up very nicely over the years, and the car could certainly be taken to the next level with just a bit of further attention, but it remains very resentable in its current state.The hood pad is in good condition with only minor blemishes. Trunk Area The trunk area is very tidy and correct and even shows factory spot welds in various places you would expect to see them. The biggest issue with the trunk would be under the rubber mat, there appears to have been trapped moisture at some point, creating some surface blemishing in the paint in the form of surface-level paint bubbling. To make it perfect once again, repainting it would be the best thing to do. Underside The underside is very tidy and correct with clear evidence that all of the work was done to a very high standard. There are no obvious issues to note. A good steam clean or dry ice cleaning of the underside would go along way to help in the overall presentation but the underside present very honestly as is. MECHANICALS Engine The engine fires to life after a few turns upon cold start. It idles nicely with choke until warm and makes good linear power throughout all of the gears with no odd noises or issues to note. Overall it sounds healthy and performs excellently. In the lower RPM range it stumbles a little bit sometimes as it likes to be revved out in the higher ranges of RPM. A slight carb adjustment will likely help to mitigate this a bit. Transmission Gear shifts are smooth up and down. No grinding or difficulty shifting was noted. The clutch engages right in the middle of the throw as it should, with no slipping or noticeable issues. Brakes And Suspension The brakes function as they should and do not squeak or chatter. There is nothing to be noted for brake issues or suspension issues. The suspension is firm feeling without any bounciness, though there is an occasional clunk in the driver’s side rear when going over larger bumps in a corner. Cornering in this car is an absolute pleasure overall. The car tracks straight down the road with no pulling to either side. Tires DRIVING EXPERIENCE Driving this car is a real treat. The quintessential classic sports car experience with all of the right sounds, shifts, wind in your hair, and all the thumbs ups you could ever want. This is an excellent older restoration done to a very high standard which shows through to its driving characteristics and overall presentation.

  • 1956-maserati-a6g54-coup-by-allemano

    The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built, and just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Of those 21 cars, chassis number 2175 offered here was completed in its cream hue on 9 August 1956 ahead of being delivered new to Mr Catullo Del Monte of Rome. The Maserati had been exported to the United States come 1958 and, around the late-1980s, was bought by marque enthusiast Joe Alphabet of Los Angeles. He owned another A6G/54, chassis number 2186, and transplanted this car’s twin-cam engine into the sister Zagato body before selling 2175 without a motor. Circa 1989, this example would move from the United States to Italy under the custodianship of the consigning owner. Paired with 2186’s engine, it was submitted for a full restoration. Thanks to the guidance of Maserati historian Walter Bäumer, in 2008 chassis 2175 was reunited with its matching-numbers inline-six, which it retains to this day. The car also presents in its factory-correct cream paintwork over an interior trimmed with black upholstery featuring cream piping and a cream dashboard panel. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs. 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Coupé by Allemano RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1965 Aston Martin DB5 1

    Supplied new via Societe Nouvelle du Garage Mirabeau in Paris, this left-hand-drive Aston Martin DB5 remained in France until being exported the UK in 2015, and comes with a wealth of paperwork that shows how well maintained it has been throughout its life. Chassis number 1995/L was built at the Newport Pagnell factory on 4 March 1965 and fitted with engine number 400/1984. It was originally finished in Sierra Blue with Dark Blue interior and was specified with Armstrong Selectaride dampers, chrome wire wheels and Normalair air-conditioning. The latter was a first on an Aston Martin when offered on the DB5, and added £320 to the list price. Its first owner is named on the factory service record as being Henri Boris, who lived on Boulevard Lannes in the western fringes of Paris. The car returned to the factory on 18 July 1967 for a full service, by which time it had covered just under 15,000 kilometres. In 1973, the DB5 was sold – again via Garage Mirabeau – to a Monsieur Trepsat, who lived in Lyons. He kept it for 10 years before selling it in 1983 to Bernard Faure, and it passed in short order to Patrick Sersoub, who would hold on to it for the next 30 years. The history file is full of correspondence relating to his time with the Aston Martin, with invoices from suppliers such as Aston Service Dorset and advice on an engine rebuild during the 1990s from marque specialist Andy Chapman. When Sersoub finally parted with the car, it was brought to the UK and the front suspension and brakes were overhauled, with Polybushes being fitted. Now presented in the iconic colour of Silver Birch but with the trim still in the original Dark Blue, this Aston Martin DB5 is being offered for sale having never been fully restored but always meticulously maintained by its long term owners. It comes with an extensive history file that includes photographs of the recent work that’s been carried out, and it’s an extremely usable example of this legendary British grand tourer. MODEL HISTORY The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the most instantly recognisable cars ever built thanks to its iconic role in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, but backing up that film-star charisma is an enduring blend of Italian styling and British engineering. When the DB4 had been launched in 1958, it marked the beginning of a new era thanks to a body shape that had been designed by Touring of Milan – from which Aston Martin also licensed the Superleggera method of lightweight construction. Touring’s crisp, clean shape was fitted around a new six-cylinder engine that had been designed by Tadek Marek. Regularly updated throughout its production run, the DB4 was eventually replaced by the DB5 at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show. For this latest model, the engine was bored-out from 3670cc to 3995cc, and very early in production a five-speed gearbox replaced the old four-speeder – there was also the option of a three-speed Borg Warner automatic. On the standard triple SU carburettors, power output from the twin-cam straight-six was 282bhp, with the Vantage model kicking out 314bhp on triple Webers. Braking was via servo-assisted Girling discs all round, rather than the Dunlop system that the standard DB4 had used. When The Motor tested a DB5, it recorded a top speed of 145mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of its time. The magazine recorded a 0-60mph time of 7.1 seconds and noted that it ‘cruises to 100mph with absurd ease and quietness [and] can be guided through fast corners with great accuracy’. In 1965, this now-legendary model was replaced by the extended-wheelbase DB6 after just over 1000 had been built. Nearly 60 years later, it remains one of the most desirable and coveted cars ever made. 1965 Aston Martin DB5 The Classic Motor Hub 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 Supplied new via Societe Nouvelle du Garage Mirabeau in Paris, this left-hand-drive Aston Martin DB5 remained in France until being exported the UK in 2015, and comes with a wealth of paperwork that shows how well maintained it has been throughout its life. Chassis number 1995/L was built at the Newport Pagnell factory on 4 March 1965 and fitted with engine number 400/1984. It was originally finished in Sierra Blue with Dark Blue interior and was specified with Armstrong Selectaride dampers, chrome wire wheels and Normalair air-conditioning. The latter was a first on an Aston Martin when offered on the DB5, and added £320 to the list price. Its first owner is named on the factory service record as being Henri Boris, who lived on Boulevard Lannes in the western fringes of Paris. The car returned to the factory on 18 July 1967 for a full service, by which time it had covered just under 15,000 kilometres. In 1973, the DB5 was sold – again via Garage Mirabeau – to a Monsieur Trepsat, who lived in Lyons. He kept it for 10 years before selling it in 1983 to Bernard Faure, and it passed in short order to Patrick Sersoub, who would hold on to it for the next 30 years. The history file is full of correspondence relating to his time with the Aston Martin, with invoices from suppliers such as Aston Service Dorset and advice on an engine rebuild during the 1990s from marque specialist Andy Chapman. When Sersoub finally parted with the car, it was brought to the UK and the front suspension and brakes were overhauled, with Polybushes being fitted.

  • 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

    Extremely late 1957 production special order example accompanied by aftermarket Rudge wheels, factory luggage, belly pans, and copious documentation. Previously restored by Scott Grundfor, and retained by him as his personal car for nearly a decade. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing remains one of the most important and iconic vehicles ever constructed. With cultural, artistic, and performance influence spanning six decades, the Gullwing continues to inspire enthusiasts all over the world. Originally released in 1954 with production culminating in 1957, 1,400 cars were produced and delivered to a wide range of clientele, eager to own one of the finest road-going sports cars ever assembled for public use. A triumph of engineering and design, the 300SL offered fuel-injection (the first of its kind) achieving the world's fastest top speed at that time. The 300 SL (S-Sport, L-Light) confirmed Max Hoffman’s challenge to Mercedes-Benz engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut – to build a Gran-Prix car tailored for road use. The 300 SL would span several years of racing achievements while simultaneously spawning a new age of ultra-performance cars, creating a legacy that inspires modern Mercedes-Benz design and excellence throughout their current premium offerings. This particular 300SL Gullwing is one of the last built. Completed in 1957, this is one of just 70 cars produced in this final year, and the 18th car from the very last produced. Originally finished in white with red interior, it was purchased in Dusseldorf in April 1957 by John Pallon, then a US Army serviceman. Pallon had the car shipped to his home in Studio City, California where it remained under his ownership until selling to Harold Bailey, Inglewood, CA and then to Seth Hammond, Culver City, CA. In 1986, a client of Scott Grundfor, Naohiro Ishikawa, purchased the car and brought it to Scott Restorations for a comprehensive restoration. Ishikawa, a respected collector from Sapporo, Japan had previously restored several classic Mercedes-Benzes with Scott Restorations. Shortly after his purchase, this Gullwing was comprehensively restored for Ishikawa including full paint, interior, chrome, engine, suspension, all exterior and suspension rubber, new wiring harness, brakes, and injection pump. In 1990, Grundfor traded another car for this car, retaining it as one of his personal cars until 1998 when it was purchased by the current owner. As part of the purchase, the current consigning owner asked Grundfor to restore the car to a “99 point” restoration, as outlined in a letter confirmed by Grundfor included with the supporting documents on file with this car. Paying an additional $40,000 for the restoration services, the car was repainted the current silver metallic, the interior fully reupholstered, chrome wheels added, and a modern air conditioning system installed. Details of the restoration also included new windshield molding, a new steering wheel turn signal assembly, emergency brake handle, improved chrome gauge bezels, new pop out window rubbers, misc. interior chrome plating, refinishing under the hood, trunk refinishing, hose clamps, and misc. hardware. Over the past 25 years of current ownership, the owner has enjoyed the car in the states and exported it to Brazil where it has been driven internationally. In 2015, while in transit back to California, the rear of the car was damaged on the bumper and left rear quarter panel. Experts at Canepa Designs repaired the car to a very high standard tending to additional details at a cost of $37,000. Satisfied with the high quality of work performed at Canepa, the owner returned the car for extensive mechanical services totaling an additional $109,000 including removing and repairing the fuel tank, new fuel hoses, new fuel lines, disassembly and cleaning the fuel pump, rebuild for cold start enrichment, fuel injection adjustments, engine cleaning and detailing, new filters and fluids, points, condenser, removal and refinishing for the radiator, new hoses, a new Borla stainless-steel exhaust system (painted satin black), new hangers, and new heat shields. Work performed on the engine, transmission, clutch, interior, various trim, and detailed features are documented in nine two-inch notebooks spanning seven years of continued regular services performed at Canepa Designs with detailed photos and reference notes outlining all services. In December 2022 a new set of tires and tubes were installed, a new generator and voltage regulator installed, and a new windshield fitted at Burlingame Motors, Burlingame, CA. In preparation for sale, A&C Auto Air & Radiator, Inc., San Rafael, CA purged and recharged the AC system which blows cold conditioned air throughout the cabin, with Burlingame Motors further sorting the car in September 2023. Today this rare and beautiful Gullwing offers an impressive presence with excellent cosmetics and superb mechanical continuity. The silver metallic paint is uniformly fluid and remains glossy and smooth with attractive presentation throughout. The doors, hood, and trunk gaps are excellent having all benefited from the extensive 99-point restoration performed in 1998 and further enhanced by Canepa Designs from 2015-2021. The hood and trunk open and shut smoothly and the iconic doors easily open, sustaining upright position without sagging. In addition to the doors exhibiting excellent closure, the fit is consistent at both the roof and lower portion of the door parting lines where panel alignment often becomes compromised over time. The trim, chrome, and lenses are all in excellent condition. The wheels are correctly dated for this series car and a spare set of remanufactured Rudge wheels are included. The interior of the car has a very nice look and feel with excellent harmony to the surfaces which have only slightly mellowed over time. High quality workmanship and excellent finish details are evident in the seating surfaces, stitching, and tufting, while a beautifully fitted leather topped dash conveys a finishing touch to the leather interior. The stunning red color is consistent and smooth. Contrasting headliner and fitted carpet creates an elegant and composed feel to the cockpit, particularly accented by the delightful bits of chrome, and a full array of detailed instrumentation. The dashboard is beautiful, with exceptionally nice gauges, all functioning as expected. The miles per hour speedometer dial has been covered with a kilometer face, which was required for driving while in Brazil. The odometer mechanism has not been altered and still records in miles. All ivory-color interior parts remain very nice showing only minor evidence of use. The beautifully crafted luggage appears to be original with finishes that have sympathetically aged to a warm inviting patina. The overall visual impact of the interior is quite impressive, exhibiting consistently uniform finishes in harmony with the exterior - just the sort of combination one might expect from a well-restored car that has been enjoyed, though fastidiously refined both mechanically and cosmetically to a high level. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment present beautifully with correct finishes, proper fittings, attention to detail including correct labels and fasteners, and more recent freshening to many finishes and engine decals. All systems operate properly including the air conditioning system which has been recently recharged and blows cold, a highly desirable feature in a Gullwing for anyone who wishes to drive this car in moderate temperatures or in lengthy motoring events. As one might expect from a car that has been sorted and well-maintained, mechanical performance is consistent with the cosmetic condition. It would not be a stretch to state that the operational features are among the best we have seen in a Gullwing. The car starts readily and settles into a crisp lightly toned idle burbling though the desirable stainless-steel exhaust. Shifting is smooth and confident with excellent feel to the gearbox particularly when warm. Suspension is very nice on the highway and quite responsive on corners considering the era of this design. Braking and downshifting are quite effective with a helpful boost in stopping power supplied by braking assist. Although the car has been driven and enjoyed, the owner has not scrimped on detailing the chassis and underside components as these areas remain in very good condition overall with just minor evidence of use shown in the correctly finished components. The integrity of the restoration given to the upper surfaces is reflected diligently in the underside including the complete set of rare belly pans, often lost or misplaced simply due to the passage of time. All suspension and engine components have been restored to a high standard using correct finishes and fasteners consistent with the era. The chassis integrity supports the known history from new with decades of California ownership spanning the majority of the life of this fine Gullwing. This Gullwing comes with a set of fitted luggage (likely original to this car), a pivot type steering wheel, a set of four reproduction Rudge wheels and a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Owner’s Manual, Also included with the sale are nine large three-ring binders documenting the restoration and mechanical services performed while under the past 25 years of current ownership, as well as copies of handwritten correspondences from Scott Grundfor documenting the car, the terms of purchase, and the history of this Gullwing. One of the most advanced sports cars available when new, the 300SL Gullwing was brimming with innovative features, many of which remain today as hallmarks of superlative automotive engineering. Sporty, elegant, and exclusive, just 70 examples were built in 1957, the final year of production. Ongoing appreciation from astute enthusiasts has continued to grow due to the timeless beauty, exceptional build quality, and rarity of the incomparable Gullwing. Whether a defining centerpiece to a world class collection, or a singular example of excellence for a vintage enthusiast, this 300 SL Gullwing will prominently convey all the majesty of this premier brand as a sporting testimonial to the Mercedes-Benz legacy. Ready for enjoyable driving, events, or fun excursions, just as originally intended, the care and mechanical attention dedicated to this 300SL Gullwing will always retain its vaulted status as one of the most desirable sports cars of the 20th century. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1971 Maserati Ghibli

    The name “Ghibli” refers to a particular type of airflow: a hot wind blowing from the Sahara that can reach hurricane speed in North Africa. A fittingly epic name for this most epic of automobiles, and keeping with the Modenese tradition of naming its most brisk creations after Arabian winds. The low, shark-like exterior of the Ghibli raised eyebrows when it was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show of 1966 – and not just because it was revealed at the stand of its designer of Ghia, rather than Maserati itself. The rakish design was deemed “a torpedo” by its young creator – no less than Giorgetto Guigiaro. Designed as Maserati’s answer to the Miura, it would be two years before the Ghibli went into production proper. Initially powered by a 308bhp 4.7-litre V8, the SS version of 1969 saw displacement rise to 4.9-litres and output rated at 330bhp. This was a very quick car, even by ‘60s standards – the top speed was a substantial 174mph. Truly, it deserved the name “Super Sport”. Of the total SSes made, 45 were spyders and 425 were coupes. The Ghibli’s light burned bright but briefly: by 1973 it ceased production, replaced by the Khamsin. Main dealer Etablissements Thepenier of Saint-Cloud, France, delivered this 4.9 Ghibli SS coupe to its first owner, Mr. Pierre Cornet, in September 1971. Mr. Cornet, Directeur General of S.O.L.E.P., was a loyal Maserati customer having owned many including a prior Ghibli. It is believed that Mr. Cornet retained the car until 1985 when it was sold to a Dr.Polony. In 2002, the coupe was purchased by noted international collector Abba Kogan, who registered the car in the UK. The previous owner obtained the Ghibli from Mr. Kogan in 2005. Maserati Classiche certified, this car comes complete with a wealth of fascinating factory-supplied copies of documentation and correspondence that confirm the current specification. The car is tracked through every stage in the production and delivery process, from the original order form, dated 7th August 1971, through letters and telegrams between the dealer and the Maserati factory, to the internal order sheets and test documents through the final invoice and French customs documents. It even includes a copy of Mr. Cornet’s business card. Under previous ownership, the Maserati has seen meticulous service and judicious –but spirited- use in vintage rally events and diligent exercising along the winding roads of lower New England. When purchased by the previous owner, the Ghibli has been painted a very attractive dark metallic green. During strip down for restoration, it was discovered that this was not, as had been stated at the time of purchase in 2005, the original colour. Discovered instead was a pale blue, which was confirmed by Maserati Classiche department documents. The decision was made to return the car to the correct original colour, Celeste, a soft light metallic blue. During this inspection, the restorers determined that the Maserati required mainly cosmetic restoration work at that time, so the majority of work performed was of that nature. During this process, the interior was completely re-trimmed in black leather as delivered. All brightwork trim was either re-chromed or polished to as-new condition, the alloy wheels painted the correct silver shade, and the engine compartment exactingly detailed to factory-new condition. This work, completed in early 2013, was carried out to a national concourse level by Automotive Restorations of Stratford, Connecticut. The result of the work is stunning to behold. Not surprisingly, in March 2013 at its debut concourse outing, the Ghibli earned an Amelia Award at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in the very competitive Sports and GT Cars (1963-1974) class. Furthermore, to prove that it possessed both beauty and brawn, the Maserati completed its fourth running of the New England 1000 rally in May 2013. A large binder containing receipts for all service work done from September 2005 to the present is available for review and accompanies the sale of the car. That work is also well documented from start to finish through images on a flash drive. That the Ghibli is one of, if not the most beautiful cars built between 1965 and 1975 can securely be challenged. To be able to own a freshly restored example of the ultimate 4.9-litre specification that has proven itself on the show field and the rally route is an opportunity that comes to few. Savvy collectors have “discovered” the Ghibli and interest have been steadily increasing for these icons of style, which is sure to delight its next owner. 1971 Maserati Ghibli JamesEdition B.V.

  • 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider by Scaglietti

    CALIFORNIA LOVE The proverbial sports car hall of fame is full of models that claim one triumph or another, but very few exude the power and charm of Ferrari’s 250 GT California Spider. Maranello had achieved great heights with its 250 GT platform ever since the FIA changed displacement limitations following the disastrous 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans, finding remarkable success in sports car competition with the Tour de France and Testa Rossa models. Alongside these wondrous racing machines, Ferrari built a magnificent lineup of roadgoing 250 GT coupes and cabriolets that came to define the peak of engineering and style. In 1957, however, one man dared to push the boundaries even further. John von Neumann was a California-based importer and co-founder of the local sports car club who had become a Ferrari distributor on the West Coast. He proposed the idea of a dual-use open Ferrari that could be driven to the track and raced before being driven home, in the tradition of Maranello’s great berlinettas. Official Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti was intrigued by von Neumann’s idea, and before long a new 250 GT variant entered production: the California Spider. Sportier than the concurrent 250 GT Cabriolet, the California Spider shared the Tour de France berlinetta’s chassis and carrozzeria, its open coachwork being designed and built by the legendary Sergio Scaglietti. Scaglietti’s coachwork was a revelation of the potential proportions of the 250 GT, with sensually sculpted fenders complemented by louvered vents just aft of the front wheels. This was a Ferrari built in every sense to enjoy—wondrous to hear, viscerally thrilling in performance, and beautiful to admire. Initially built upon Ferrari’s 2,600-millimeter wheelbase chassis, which was retroactively referred to as the long wheelbase (LWB), the early California Spiders made a splash in GT competition, taking a class win at Sebring in 1959 and finishing 5th overall at Le Mans a few months later. Many examples were exported to the United States, and these cars duly made their mark at SCCA events. Fifty examples of the California Spider were built on the long-wheelbase chassis before Ferrari introduced its short-wheelbase platform, to which the California Spider was adapted. While the SWB cars undoubtedly have a following of their own, it is interesting to note how the design was more elegant and harmonious in the original 2,600-millimeter guise. Smoother and more luxurious, the long-wheelbase examples drive with superior ride quality and are more stylish in many enthusiasts’ opinion. In short, the original LWB California Spider was the super-luxury choice of a true gentleman, elegant, powerful, and uniquely stylish. In many respects this was a car less suited for barreling down the Mulsanne Straight than it was for touring the winding roads above the Côte d’Azur: a picture-perfect machine that was the very embodiment of chic sophistication. CHASSIS NUMBER 1217 GT Emerging from nearly 20 years of seclusion under single ownership; retaining its matching-numbers V-12 engine; and presented in its original color combination, this California Spider is a particularly fetching example. According to the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 1217 GT is the 19th of 50 long-wheelbase cars built. It was completed in February 1959, finished in Nero paint over an interior of Rosso leather, and configured with uncovered headlamps. Fitted with a factory hardtop, the Ferrari was sold new to the Officine Navali Campanella, a ship-building concern in Genoa, Italy. A few years later the California was used in the filming of the 1967 Italian movie Le Dolci Signore (internationally released a year later as Anyone Can Play), where it was driven by the sultry French actress and recent Bond girl Claudine Auger. By the late 1960s the Spider was owned by the famed Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert, who by this time had founded his own garage and car dealership. In January 1972 the Ferrari was sold by the Garage Siffert to the well-known Swiss dealer and motoring author Rob de la Rive Box, who a few months later found a buyer in Richard Merritt, one of the founders of the Ferrari Club of America. The California Spider found an appreciative home when it was acquired in late 1975 by George Heiser of Seattle, Washington. Mr. Heiser sought to locate the matching-numbers motor, which had been separated from the car several years earlier, and in 1979 he acquired the 250 GT Boano that was fitted with engine number 1217 GT, which was removed and returned to its rightful home in the California Spider. After diligently maintaining the Ferrari for about a dozen years, and after watching the price appreciate from around $10,000 in 1975 to over $500,000 by 1987, Mr. Heiser decided to sell the Spider. Over the next six years the 250 GT was preserved in a noted collection in Sweden, sitting alongside a 250 GTO and several other California Spiders. By 1993 the car was acquired by the respected collector John Mozart of Palo Alto, California, and he commissioned a significant restoration by the marque experts at Phil Reilly & Company. At this time the Ferrari was cosmetically refreshed in its original color scheme, and disc brakes were installed for improved mechanical performance. In 1994 the California Spider was sold to Fred and Ramona Bohlander of Monterey, California, and they presented the beautiful car at the FCA International Concours in Monterey that August. Ten years later the 250 GT was sold into the famous Matsuda collection, and during its brief time in Japan the car was featured in the February 2005 issue of the magazine Scuderia. In August 2005 the Ferrari was offered at RM Auctions’ flagship Monterey sale, where it was acquired by the current owner. The California has since enjoyed 19 years of careful, climate-controlled storage, helping to ensure the car remains in authentic and sparingly used condition. It is worth reiterating that 1217 GT retains its numbers-matching V-12 engine, greatly enriching the car’s authenticity. It should be noted that the car is currently fitted with a gearbox stamped with internal number 238 DR, which is believed to be from another 250 GT, as well as what is believed to be the original rear axle; however, due to the location of the stamping only the final two digits are still visible. Furthermore, the Ferrari was depicted in two authoritative books on the subject, George Carrick’s highly respected The Spyder California, and Stanley Nowak’s Ferrari on the Road. The Spider is fitted with two notable interior appointments that were installed very early in its life, a passenger hand-brace, and an unusual, upholstered shield pad just aft of the shifter that was probably intended as a footrest for small children. Formerly a part of several of the world’s most prominent Ferrari collections, 1217 GT is ready to show, or a strong candidate for a more thorough freshening. This California Spider is a beautifully maintained and faithfully presented example of Maranello’s legendary blue-chip model. It would undoubtedly elevate any collection. 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Ten years later the 250 GT was sold into the famous Matsuda collection, and during its brief time in Japan the car was featured in the February 2005 issue of the magazine Scuderia. In August 2005 the Ferrari was offered at RM Auctions’ flagship Monterey sale, where it was acquired by the current owner. The California has since enjoyed 19 years of careful, climate-controlled storage, helping to ensure the car remains in authentic and sparingly used condition. It is worth reiterating that 1217 GT retains its numbers-matching V-12 engine, greatly enriching the car’s authenticity. It should be noted that the car is currently fitted with a gearbox stamped with internal number 238 DR, which is believed to be from another 250 GT, as well as what is believed to be the original rear axle; however, due to the location of the stamping only the final two digits are still visible. Furthermore, the Ferrari was depicted in two authoritative books on the subject, George Carrick’s highly respected The Spyder California, and Stanley Nowak’s Ferrari on the Road. The Spider is fitted with two notable interior appointments that were installed very early in its life, a passenger hand-brace, and an unusual, upholstered shield pad just aft of the shifter that was probably intended as a footrest for small children. Formerly a part of several of the world’s most prominent Ferrari collections, 1217 GT is ready to show, or a strong candidate for a more thorough freshening. This California Spider is a beautifully maintained and faithfully presented example of Maranello’s legendary blue-chip model. It would undoubtedly elevate any collection.

  • 1964 Iso Rivolta A3/C Sanction II

    The Grifo is perhaps one of the most stunning, attractive, and desirable takes on what would eventually become a proven formula: a European chassis and body coupled with the robust and inexpensive performance provided by an American V8. The Grifo’s chassis and mechanical integration were also major contributors to the overall appeal of the car. Developed in large part by Giotto Bizzarrini, in tandem with the Grifo’s competition version (which would eventually become the Bizzarrini 5300), the chassis was sophisticated with coil springs all round, de Dion rear end, and tubular chassis, and inboard rear disc brakes. The engines were supplied by Chevrolet, but were disassembled and blue printed before installation in the Grifo. Giotto Bizzarrini built his own version of the Grifo for racing, winning the big-bore GT class at Le Mans in 1964 and 1965. The Bizzarrini GTs were developed as race cars and the two marques, Iso and Bizzarrini, coexisted. Iso built road Grifos while Bizzarrini built racing Grifos. Fitted with more rakish and exotic bodywork, the Bizzarrini 5300GT is rare, exotic and aerodynamic. Early competition cars were designated Grifo A3/C prior to being separately identified as Bizzarrini 5300s. After Piero Rivolta gave his approval to name them officially ISO Grifo Rivolta and to wear the official emblem, a total of 10 cars were made by Bottegone in Clusone, BG – Italy, by the former employees who used to work in the Iso Rivolta factory. The cars were built as per original factory construction drawings and specifications. The body, an all-aluminum masterpiece are hand crafted exactly the same way as the ones built during 1963/64. Ordered in 2014 and supplied to its current and only owner in 2018, chassis IR*350123* is one of the 10 original Sanction II using an original Iso Rivolta chassis from a donor car as well as a 1964 registration title. The quality of the workmanship is first rate throughout and the car’s competition details are beautifully rendered from the external rivets to the large cooling vents and quick release fuel filler that operates through the rear window. Historians and enthusiasts of the Grifo and Bizzarrini 5300 are well aware that these cars were built in fits and starts over the years as parts became available to various enterprising individuals, and therefore there are often multiple claims to serial numbers and confusing trails of construction and ownership history. Faced with spending seven figures on a car of dubious history, the benefit of the Sanction II is very simple: You know exactly what you are buying for a fraction of the price! Available immediately.
