Launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1950, the Alfa Romeo 1900 was a significant advance for the growing company. The 1900 was the first Alfa Romeo designed and built for production assembly and the first Alfa Romeo available in left-hand drive. Offered in four-door Berlina and two-door Sprint variants, the 1900 was initially powered by a 1,884cc, 4-cylinder twin cam engine producing a capable 90 horsepower. Racing victories in the Targa Florio and Stella Alpina rallies lead to Alfa Romeo marketing and promoting the 1900 as “the family car that wins races”. In 1951, Alfa Romeo released the shorter 2.5-meter wheelbase 1900C, followed quickly by a more powerful engine option, the 1900 “Sprint”. The Sprint was equipped with a bored-out 1,900cc engine producing 100 horsepower. Approximately 100 of the performance-oriented, short-wheelbase 1900s were delivered with the more powerful Sprint engines to famed Italian coachbuilder Pinin Farina. Pinin Farina designed the very elegant coupe body known as the 1900 “Corto” Sprint. The unique platform design and performance engine enticed other notable coachbuilders including Touring, Zagato, and Bertone, however the Pinin Farina design, with its pure lines and ideal proportions, delivers a handsome and balanced profile ideally paired with state-of-the-art twin-cam performance. Under former ownership, the prior owner purchased this 1900 CS from an esteemed Northern California collector to accompany multiple highly prized vehicles in his personal collection. Having enlisted expert Raffi Najjarian of The Pit Stop, a great deal of work was performed on the car’s mechanical components including an engine rebuild beyond CSS specifications. This rebuild included the installation of a CSS crankshaft, larger pistons, dual Weber 44 DCO carburetors feeding into an Abarth intake manifold, and new exhaust. Additional work included the installation of an oil cooler, electric fuel pump, new fuel tank, and a supplementary electric cooling fan, all of which further required upgrading the electrical system with new wiring. Substantial time was further spent improving the car’s driving dynamics. Inclusive of the suspension rebuild, all new Alfin drum brakes were installed, while the front A-arms were updated with 2500 series units and a rebuilt steering box. The original column mounted four-speed transmission was replaced with a floor mounted five-speed gearbox and a new clutch. As the mechanical work was completed, the engine bay was detailed and carefully finished using as many authentic components as possible. In 2018, the car was offered for sale by Fantasy Junction. A few years later, the owner passed away and the car was auctioned by Bonhams in 2020, at which time, the current and consigning owner purchased the car. Under current ownership, this Alfa Romeo has benefited from new leather seat reupholstery, new carpet, a valve job for the twin cam head, general mechanical freshening, and excellent paint correction to high driver level. As an added performance feature, this 1900 is outfitted with exhaust cutouts which can be engaged manually from behind the driver’s seat. These levers bypass the mufflers delivering a more vigorous exhaust note. Today this handsome Pinin Farina 1900 CS presents with a quality high gloss vivid red finish ideal for events and tours. Panel fit is generally good, in keeping with period construction. The doors open and shut easily, while the lightweight alloy hood and trunk raise and lower without issue. A few superficial stone chips are visible in the front facing areas, though none affect the overall high driver level presentation. The windshield and side glass, many of which bear the original glass Securit brand marks, present nicely including the unique sweeping wrap around rear window. The grille and eyebrow openings were re-chromed during the refresh, still offering excellent reflections and smooth finish. The rear bumpers and chrome trunk handle are also very nicely presented. The absence of further garnish molding and chrome trim is a welcome relief from often overdone cars of this period. In keeping with the performance theme, the car is finished with beautiful Borrani wire wheels. Under prior ownership, all four wheels and the matching spare wheel were rebuilt and powder-coated in silver finish. The wheels are finished with correct chrome plated dual ear knock-offs with correctly sized 2019 date-coded Michelin tires. The interior reflects the performance lineage of these exceptional cars with a focus on spirited driving. The seat supports were refinished under current ownership along with new carpet. The newly reupholstered leather covered rally-style Zagato seats complete the performance picture, giving excellent lateral support, particularly when compared to the original style bench seats. The cloth headliner and sun visors are clean and taut, while the rear parcel shelf and leather straps offer a nice finishing touch to the interior. The upgraded 5-speed manual gearbox is very well positioned, wrapped in a leather boot, and topped with a polished alloy shift knob. The dashboard features correct instrumentation with clean lenses, crisp numbers, and handsome lettering. A safety kill switch is located under the left side of the dash. The interior is handsomely finished overall with a period correct flat Nardi wooden steering wheel, accented by the Alfa Romeo center insignia. The trunk is nicely finished in satin black with a proper textured floor mat, and a distinctive optional touch – a handheld Marchal spotlight, convenient for rally road repairs, particularly effective in evening or sunset events. The engine compartment has been nicely maintained since the rebuild and recent valve job. Correct finishes, authentic parts, proper lines and materials, and uniform finishes now display slight patina resulting from modest use. During the rebuild, the engine was upgraded with twin 44DCO (No. 13 and 15) Weber carburetors and an Abarth intake manifold. A FISPA air cleaner was installed along with the Weber carburetors. The undercarriage presents with no evidence of structural compromise and while not detailed for show, all components are clean, dry, and tidy. Of note, the upgraded 2500 series front suspension and shock absorbers add to the handling and performance of this car. The car starts with ease and warms to a nice throaty idle. Driving manners are quite good under general road use, but greatly enhanced with the 5-speed gearbox, improved front suspension, and power upgrades to the engine. The engine operates with good oil pressure and proper running temperatures. The brakes operate confidently with good pedal pressure and the steering is generally good but has slight play at top dead center. The driving experience in this Alfa Romeo 1900 benefits from the upgraded floor mounted 5-speed with ratios ideally spaced for road or highway use. Accompanying the car is a set of tools wrapped in a period correct cloth roll, a restored jack, a Marchal spotlight, and a matching spare wire wheel. This is a great opportunity to acquire an event eligible rare Pinin Farina bodied Alfa Romeo combining professionally refined mechanical improvements and delightful visual presentation, enhanced by thoughtful performance upgrades. For those who admire hand-built coachwork, state of the art engineering, and exciting driving, this Alfa Romeo 1900 CS is sure to deliver ongoing rewards uniquely delivered in vintage automobile ownership experiences. 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900 CS Pinin Farina Berlinetta Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

General History Alfa Romeo, Italian masters of automobile manufacturing, were not always prolific producers of production sports cars. Prior to the Giulia and Giulietta, Alfas were grand, handmade vehicles involving detailed labor and complex fabrication. All this changed when these two brilliantly engineered cars entered the market. With relatively low entry costs, attractive styling, and delightful driving manners, Alfa Romeo secured a promising position in the growing postwar world car market. The Giulia and Giulietta were small, sporty, and charming, yet finely trimmed, giving an air of sophistication young men and women appreciated during prosperous post war years. Both models enjoyed success, with strong sales in Europe and North America, due in part to growing interest in small sporty cars. Among the most desired of these cars were the Veloce equipped Spiders. Initially the 1300cc twin cam in-line four-cylinder engine featured twin Weber carburetors, higher compression ratio, and spirited cam profiles, resulting in improved overall performance. By 1962 the engine was upgraded to 1600, improving both performance and reliability in the new smoother running engine. The Pininfarina bodied Spider would remain in production until 1966, a testimony to the advanced design and sporty styling. These features continue to be highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts, particularly so for factory original 1965 Spider Veloce models as approximately 1,000 were built in this series with the final improvements reflected in 1965, the last year of this series. General Overview According to correspondence from Macro Fazio, Centro Documentzione Alfa, this 1600 Veloce was built March 30th, 1965, and sold April 1st to Alfa Romeo, Inc., Newark, USA. The factory colors are noted as red with black interior. Though not much is known about the early years of ownership, the prior owner commissioned a comprehensive three-year restoration which was completed in 2016. During the restoration, the process was documented with photos showing the car fully disassembled, stripped to bare metal, rotisserie mounted, red oxide primer and black finish applied to the chassis surfaces, the engine fully disassembled and rebuilt, and all other components from the suspension, brakes, gearbox, and fully reupholstered interior, refinished to a high standard. The current owner purchased this Alfa in 2016 shortly after the restoration was completed. During his decade of ownership, the car has been regularly maintained and serviced as needed. Copies of receipts included with the car document services performed under current ownership dating back to 2016 (88k miles indicated in 2016) while the car was located in Southern California. Services from 2016 include installing a new windshield, new seat belt, driver’s side mirror, gearbox synchro work, 5 new Vredestein 155 SR15 tires and four wheel alignment, along with brake and carburetor work. In 2017 services continued including a tune up and fluid changes, engine cleaning, detailing, and bolt torquing, Pertronix ignition installed, and road testing for various diagnostics. In 2018, an annual fluid service was performed, window regulators repaired, new fuel lines installed, transmission work performed including a new input shaft seal, a new hood insulation blanket installed, oil pan gasket replaced, electrical serviced including new headlight switch and blower switch, and a new fuel pump was installed. In 2019, the car was given an annual fluid change, and the rear brake axle and assembly were removed and serviced including new differential gear oil and reseal. In 2021, a major service was performed including valve adjustment, front brake resurfacing for rotors, and carb cleaning. In 2024, the carburetors were serviced, including new floats, jet cleaning etc. new fuel filter, and a new Bosch ignitor was installed. In 2025, the rear brakes were adjusted, new rear brake wheel cylinders installed, and gauges tested and serviced. General Condition Today this Veloce Spider presents in excellent condition throughout including glossy red paint that has been very well maintained with excellent coverage and a smooth, glossy finish. The exterior trim is in excellent condition overall including a very nice Alfa Romeo branded central grille flanked by front bumpers with correct fitting side openings and trim. Unlike many Spiders of this era the chrome bumpers are properly positioned, parallel to the grille openings with excellent fit and finish. A pair of correct Carello stamped chrome headlight trim rings and correct spiral domed turn indicators are just a few fine details that show the care and detail afforded during restoration. The hood features a raised profile hood scoop which was updated in the last two years of production to allow more room for the improved engine. Continuing the cosmetic appearance of the car, the lighting, bumpers, and various trim and script are also in excellent condition. The body panel gaps are consistent showing very good closures and tight fit, including both doors which show excellent part lines and tight closure. The windshield and side glass are in excellent condition with smooth operation to the side glass when raised and lowered. Outfitted with correct silver painted steel wheels with polished wheel covers, the wheels are shod with a set of Vredestein Sprint Classic 155 SR15 tires installed in 2016. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior featuring beautifully trimmed black bucket seats with authentic appearance to the materials, foam padding, correct seat pleating, and a pair of matching seat belts. The door panels and side panels are like new with excellent quality to the finishes while the carpeting and Alfa Romeo embossed black rubber mats are also essentially like new. The dashboard is gorgeous and beautifully detailed, featuring crystal clear instruments with excellent color and contrast to the dial faces and glass covers. The black dash padding is also like new and a correct Blaupunkt AM/FM push button radio is installed. The black canvas convertible top appears new, here too with excellent fit and finish, new rubber, and a soft clear plastic window. The trunk is reflective of the same level of restoration excellence exhibited throughout the car, clean and well-maintained, retaining a matching silver finished steel wheel, matching red inner surface, a factory jack with correct strapped buckle hold downs, and a correct Alfa Romeo embossed rubber floor mat. The battery, dated March 2024, is installed in the trunk. 
Under the hood, the engine bay offers correct presentation reflective of original specifications including a correct diamond-tufted silver hood insulation pad and an Alfa Romeo specifications plate. Nicely detailed and worthy of Alfa Romeo club concours presentation, the 1,600cc twin cam engine is correctly restored including twin dual throat side draft 48 Weber carburetors, a correct cast alloy airbox, and a correctly finished alloy twin cam cover. Additional details include a blue washer fluid bag, correct hoses and clamps, proper ignition wires, and correct firewall stampings, engine decals, and proper finishes to the various engine components. The undercarriage completes the high quality restoration, offering excellent finishes including correct alloy engine and gearbox castings, a Facet electric fuel pump, correct axle limit straps on the rear axle, correctly finished suspension and brake components, and recently replaced IMA Italian made exhaust from the header to the chrome exhaust finisher tip. The car starts, stops, runs, and drives very capably as evidenced in the driving video shown in the gallery. Brakes and suspension are very well balanced, and the car has a great gearbox with excellent synchros having benefited from more recent service. Driving manners are among the best we’ve seen in a Spider Veloce particularly so with the extra power offered with the 1,600cc engine in the final two years of production. This example is very well prepared, has great steering and brakes, and delivers wonderful sounds from the twin cam engine. Items Included with the Car The car is accompanied by copies of service documents under current ownership, photos chronicling the restoration including detailed photos of the engine rebuild, a Technical Characteristics Giulia booklet and a Giulia 1600 user manual. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce Fantasy Junction 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 General History Alfa Romeo, Italian masters of automobile manufacturing, were not always prolific producers of production sports cars. Prior to the Giulia and Giulietta, Alfas were grand, handmade vehicles involving detailed labor and complex fabrication. All this changed when these two brilliantly engineered cars entered the market. With relatively low entry costs, attractive styling, and delightful driving manners, Alfa Romeo secured a promising position in the growing postwar world car market. The Giulia and Giulietta were small, sporty, and charming, yet finely trimmed, giving an air of sophistication young men and women appreciated during prosperous post war years. Both models enjoyed success, with strong sales in Europe and North America, due in part to growing interest in small sporty cars. Among the most desired of these cars were the Veloce equipped Spiders. Initially the 1300cc twin cam in-line four-cylinder engine featured twin Weber carburetors, higher compression ratio, and spirited cam profiles, resulting in improved overall performance. By 1962 the engine was upgraded to 1600, improving both performance and reliability in the new smoother running engine. The Pininfarina bodied Spider would remain in production until 1966, a testimony to the advanced design and sporty styling. These features continue to be highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts, particularly so for factory original 1965 Spider Veloce models as approximately 1,000 were built in this series with the final improvements reflected in 1965, the last year of this series. General Overview According to correspondence from Macro Fazio, Centro Documentzione Alfa, this 1600 Veloce was built March 30th, 1965, and sold April 1st to Alfa Romeo, Inc., Newark, USA. The factory colors are noted as red with black interior. Though not much is known about the early years of ownership, the prior owner commissioned a comprehensive three-year restoration which was completed in 2016. During the restoration, the process was documented with photos showing the car fully disassembled, stripped to bare metal, rotisserie mounted, red oxide primer and black finish applied to the chassis surfaces, the engine fully disassembled and rebuilt, and all other components from the suspension, brakes, gearbox, and fully reupholstered interior, refinished to a high standard. The current owner purchased this Alfa in 2016 shortly after the restoration was completed. During his decade of ownership, the car has been regularly maintained and serviced as needed. Copies of receipts included with the car document services performed under current ownership dating back to 2016 (88k miles indicated in 2016) while the car was located in Southern California. Services from 2016 include installing a new windshield, new seat belt, driver’s side mirror, gearbox synchro work, 5 new Vredestein 155 SR15 tires and four wheel alignment, along with brake and carburetor work. In 2017 services continued including a tune up and fluid changes, engine cleaning, detailing, and bolt torquing, Pertronix ignition installed, and road testing for various diagnostics. In 2018, an annual fluid service was performed, window regulators repaired, new fuel lines installed, transmission work performed including a new input shaft seal, a new hood insulation blanket installed, oil pan gasket replaced, electrical serviced including new headlight switch and blower switch, and a new fuel pump was installed. In 2019, the car was given an annual fluid change, and the rear brake axle and assembly were removed and serviced including new differential gear oil and reseal. In 2021, a major service was performed including valve adjustment, front brake resurfacing for rotors, and carb cleaning. In 2024, the carburetors were serviced, including new floats, jet cleaning etc. new fuel filter, and a new Bosch ignitor was installed. In 2025, the rear brakes were adjusted, new rear brake wheel cylinders installed, and gauges tested and serviced. General Condition Today this Veloce Spider presents in excellent condition throughout including glossy red paint that has been very well maintained with excellent coverage and a smooth, glossy finish. The exterior trim is in excellent condition overall including a very nice Alfa Romeo branded central grille flanked by front bumpers with correct fitting side openings and trim. Unlike many Spiders of this era the chrome bumpers are properly positioned, parallel to the grille openings with excellent fit and finish. A pair of correct Carello stamped chrome headlight trim rings and correct spiral domed turn indicators are just a few fine details that show the care and detail afforded during restoration. The hood features a raised profile hood scoop which was updated in the last two years of production to allow more room for the improved engine. Continuing the cosmetic appearance of the car, the lighting, bumpers, and various trim and script are also in excellent condition. The body panel gaps are consistent showing very good closures and tight fit, including both doors which show excellent part lines and tight closure. The windshield and side glass are in excellent condition with smooth operation to the side glass when raised and lowered. Outfitted with correct silver painted steel wheels with polished wheel covers, the wheels are shod with a set of Vredestein Sprint Classic 155 SR15 tires installed in 2016. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior featuring beautifully trimmed black bucket seats with authentic appearance to the materials, foam padding, correct seat pleating, and a pair of matching seat belts. The door panels and side panels are like new with excellent quality to the finishes while the carpeting and Alfa Romeo embossed black rubber mats are also essentially like new. The dashboard is gorgeous and beautifully detailed, featuring crystal clear instruments with excellent color and contrast to the dial faces and glass covers. The black dash padding is also like new and a correct Blaupunkt AM/FM push button radio is installed. The black canvas convertible top appears new, here too with excellent fit and finish, new rubber, and a soft clear plastic window. The trunk is reflective of the same level of restoration excellence exhibited throughout the car, clean and well-maintained, retaining a matching silver finished steel wheel, matching red inner surface, a factory jack with correct strapped buckle hold downs, and a correct Alfa Romeo embossed rubber floor mat. The battery, dated March 2024, is installed in the trunk. 
Under the hood, the engine bay offers correct presentation reflective of original specifications including a correct diamond-tufted silver hood insulation pad and an Alfa Romeo specifications plate. Nicely detailed and worthy of Alfa Romeo club concours presentation, the 1,600cc twin cam engine is correctly restored including twin dual throat side draft 48 Weber carburetors, a correct cast alloy airbox, and a correctly finished alloy twin cam cover. Additional details include a blue washer fluid bag, correct hoses and clamps, proper ignition wires, and correct firewall stampings, engine decals, and proper finishes to the various engine components. The undercarriage completes the high quality restoration, offering excellent finishes including correct alloy engine and gearbox castings, a Facet electric fuel pump, correct axle limit straps on the rear axle, correctly finished suspension and brake components, and recently replaced IMA Italian made exhaust from the header to the chrome exhaust finisher tip. The car starts, stops, runs, and drives very capably as evidenced in the driving video shown in the gallery. Brakes and suspension are very well balanced, and the car has a great gearbox with excellent synchros having benefited from more recent service. Driving manners are among the best we’ve seen in a Spider Veloce particularly so with the extra power offered with the 1,600cc engine in the final two years of production. This example is very well prepared, has great steering and brakes, and delivers wonderful sounds from the twin cam engine. Items Included with the Car The car is accompanied by copies of service documents under current ownership, photos chronicling the restoration including detailed photos of the engine rebuild, a Technical Characteristics Giulia booklet and a Giulia 1600 user manual.

Engineering Ltd United Kingdom

The world-famous Daytona name was unofficially conjured up by the press in recognition of the firms stunning 1-2-3 victory at 1967's Daytona 24 Hours and - the fact that it was the last front-engined Ferrari GT before the Fiat years also means it occupies a special place in Maranello history. The Daytona was a stopgap model between Ferrari's outgoing 275 GTB/4 and their mid-engined 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer, the development of which was running well behind schedule. Influenced by the fact they were beginning to suffer a number of financial problems, Ferrari decided to produce what was essentially an updated version of an existing model. However, despite the troubled background to its inception, Daytona's themselves were in no way affected. Ferrari produced what became the definitive GT of its time. The Daytona's motor is essentially an enlarged Tipo 226 60° V12 from the previous 275 GTB/4 and is designated Tipo 251. They have a displacement of 4.4-litres producing 352bhp at 7500rpm. At the time the Daytona became the world's fastest production car with a top speed of 175mph and 0-60 in 5.3 seconds - enough to eclipse every other manufacturer, even Lamborghini. Pininfarina designed the Daytona's bodywork exuding power from every angle. As a result the Daytona remains one of the most jaw-dropping GT's to this day. The 365 GTB/4 was launched during October 1968's Paris Salon and won enormous praise. It was the fastest production road car available and would be the last of Ferrari's front-engined GT's, a fact not lost on writers at the time. Relatively few official options were available, just wider Cromodora alloys, spoked Borrani wires, front bumper bars and air conditioning having been on the upgrade list. After two years Pininfarina carried out a front-end make-over resulting in retractable headlights in early-1971. As production went on, Ferrari made changes to the indicator lenses, later cars more often than not coming with exclusively orange items whereas earlier examples tended to get combination lenses. There was also a switch from aluminium to steel doors (these providing a little more side impact protection) and the arrival of a smaller-diameter leather-rimmed steering wheel. Production ceased in late 1973 to make way for the overdue mid-Flat-12-engined 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer. By this time, Ferrari had completed 1,284 GTB/4's, 158 of which were right-hand drive and came to the UK. With the USA accounting for such a large proportion of Ferrari sales by the end of the 1960s, it was inevitable that technicalities of federal law would play such a big part of how the Daytona looked. The early, ‘euro-specification’ examples featured the same sealed-beam headlight units that were required by U.S. legislation, hidden behind an elegant but sloped wraparound band of plexiglass. No prizes for guessing where the early cars found their nickname. Elegant, sporting and remarkably modern, the Daytona was the first Ferrari to see the integration of the headlights into the body. Unfortunately for Ferrari, U.S. legislation meant this was no-go. Fearful of impeding light travel, the law stipulated nothing be placed in front of the sealed-beam light units on a production car. As such, as the first Daytonas landed on the US shores, the nose was redesigned to incorporate the more traditional pop-up units. This example was supplied new to Austrian dealership Wolfgang Denzel of Vienna in 1970. Originally presented in Giallo Fly over Nero VM 8500, the Daytona would remain in Austria with its first keeper until 1974. At the time of purchase by Swede Anders Johnson, the car had been repainted in black with gold highlights in a livery particularly reminiscent of the John Player Special Lotus Formula 1 livery of the same year. The Daytona was refinished in Giallo and lightly fettled for competition use. Custodian Johnson would actively compete in the Daytona in road rallies in Sweden and extending into Europe for 20 years. The Daytona was subsequently sent to Johan Helenius of notable marque experts and restorers, Competition Motors. The restoration commenced and the Daytona was stripped to bare metal. Funds were short and the restoration progressed very slowly, changing hands in 2018 in a still uncompleted state to the current owner in Norway. The Daytona moved to Norway for the works to continue, but plans changed and the Daytona remained in a stripped state for four further year. Arriving at DK in 2022, the Daytona had been previously prepared for paint. We returned the car to its bare metal state with the original yellow remaining visible on the inside of the doors. At this time, the current owner decided to complete the restoration in Blu Dino, whilst retaining the Nero interior leather trim. From its arrival, DK Engineering have handled the reassembly and completion of the Daytona. With the car apart we turned our heads to the mechanical side. Whilst much of this work had been carried out previously, the owner was keen to have inspected again to ensure it was in good order before assembly began. As such, a top-end engine rebuild was carried out as well as a corrections to assembly of the rear differential. With the engine reinstalled, the original interior was refitted, ensuring the Daytona interior still cossets the drive as expected. As a late build 'plexi', this example received the later, smaller diameter steering wheel but retained the earlier seats without fitted headrests making for a much more inviting interior. The works were completed in November 2024. One of roughly 411 Plexiglass-nosed examples completed, this example presents on the button, fresh from restoration and ready for its next custodian. Presented in the period shade of Blu Dino, this wonderful 'matching numbers' Daytona is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona D.K.

General History Unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-type delivered a totally new approach to sports cars. Stunning design, unrivaled performance, and racing lineage made the E-Type an immediate sensation. With its beautiful lines and surprisingly affordable price, the E-Type garnered its iconic status where it continues to reign at the top of collector and enthusiast lists. Independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and Jaguar’s legendary twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine were just part of the allure. Sales were brisk with growing interest in both American and European markets. Although the E-Type would continue into the mid 1970s, enthusiasts today remain steadfast regarding their admiration for the Series 1 models as one of the most beautiful and capable sports cars ever conceived. Current Condition and Ownership According to original sales documentation accompanying this Jaguar, this remarkable original example was purchased in 1967 and delivered to Fretwell Motor Company, Oklahoma City, OK. Invoiced to the first owner, Elvy R. Hopkins on June 27, 1967, the car was sold with an AM/FM radio, white wall tires, chrome wheels, tinted glass, bumper guards, and seat belts. Though originally invoiced with air conditioning, the car was later confirmed June 28, 1967, on the Delivery Ticket to be delivered without AC. Bill of Sale was signed July 7, 1967. Having taken delivery in Oklahoma, Hopkins drove the car to his China Lake, California home titling and registering the car in September 1967 with license plate UGL 994 (original registration slips included with the car). By 1969 the car experienced engine failure. The owner parked the car in his garage where it remained until 2009. After the original owner passed, his sister was gifted the car. In 20011, she had the engine professionally rebuilt being careful to preserve and retain all the original engine components replaced during the engine rebuild. Each of these parts, including the original tires, are retained and offered with this remarkable example of originality and preservation. After the engine was rebuilt, the sister of the original owner sold this Jaguar to the current owner, an avid NorCal enthusiast and concours participant who showed the car at the Hillsborough Concours where he won in the originality class. In an effort to retain the original low mile condition, the current owner has driven the car approximately 2o0 miles during his fourteen years of ownership. Current Presentation Today this Jaguar presents in exceptional original condition. The finish shows only mild areas of age, one small scratch (about ½’ in length), but still remains smooth and glossy throughout. The finish has been metered with a digital paint meter revealing single digit paint thickness readings consistent with original paint. The lighting, lenses, and glass are clean and preserved throughout. The body integrity is excellent, with factory panel gaps on the rear hatch, and bonnet, and door fit that is especially good considering nearly 60 years of age. The chrome window and side glass surrounds are in excellent original condition overall, as are the front and rear. The original wire wheels feature chrome plated knock offs with excellent finish now wearing a set of Uniroyal narrow band white wall tires date coded 2023. The tan interior (representing the earlier tan hue for this series) is original throughout and again, consistent with the rest of the car, superbly detailed, clean, and properly preserved. The original carpet is excellent including the beaded edging and correct contours for the floor and center console. The dash pad is very fine owing to indoor storage avoiding unwanted sun damage. The instruments are beautifully preserved with excellent faces and contrasting color as are the AM/FM stereo, wood rimmed steering wheel and manual transmission shifter. The original door panels, matching covered door sills, headliner, and rear storage area are quite nice in both condition and material quality, again preserved and protected from outdoor elements. The engine compartment is correct in appearance and properly detailed. Having been rebuilt recently, the commissioning owner was careful to not overdo the engine compartment and thus retained the finishes and patina of the factory assembly. Both the engine numbers are evident and matching as is the “picture frame” support section bearing the correct chassis number, both of which correspond correctly to the data plate affixed to the car and the matching sales documentation supporting the original purchase.

Stunning design, unrivaled performance, and racing lineage made the E-Type an immediate sensation. With its beautiful lines and surprisingly affordable price, the E-Type garnered its iconic status where it continues to reign at the top of collector and enthusiast lists. Independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear to reduce unsprung weight), and Jaguar’s legendary twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine were just part of the allure. Sales were brisk with growing interest in both American and European markets. Although the E-Type would continue into the mid 1970s, enthusiasts today remain steadfast regarding their admiration for the Series 1 models as one of the most beautiful and capable sports cars ever conceived. Current Condition and Ownership According to original sales documentation accompanying this Jaguar, this remarkable original example was purchased in 1967 and delivered to Fretwell Motor Company, Oklahoma City, OK. Invoiced to the first owner, Elvy R. Hopkins on June 27, 1967, the car was sold with an AM/FM radio, white wall tires, chrome wheels, tinted glass, bumper guards, and seat belts. Though originally invoiced with air conditioning, the car was later confirmed June 28, 1967, on the Delivery Ticket to be delivered without AC. Bill of Sale was signed July 7, 1967. Having taken delivery in Oklahoma, Hopkins drove the car to his China Lake, California home titling and registering the car in September 1967 with license plate UGL 994 (original registration slips included with the car). By 1969 the car experienced engine failure. The owner parked the car in his garage where it remained until 2009. After the original owner passed, his sister was gifted the car. In 20011, she had the engine professionally rebuilt being careful to preserve and retain all the original engine components replaced during the engine rebuild. Each of these parts, including the original tires, are retained and offered with this remarkable example of originality and preservation. After the engine was rebuilt, the sister of the original owner sold this Jaguar to the current owner, an avid NorCal enthusiast and concours participant who showed the car at the Hillsborough Concours where he won in the originality class. In an effort to retain the original low mile condition, the current owner has driven the car approximately 2o0 miles during his fourteen years of ownership. Current Presentation Today this Jaguar presents in exceptional original condition. The finish shows only mild areas of age, one small scratch (about ½’ in length), but still remains smooth and glossy throughout. The finish has been metered with a digital paint meter revealing single digit paint thickness readings consistent with original paint. The lighting, lenses, and glass are clean and preserved throughout. The body integrity is excellent, with factory panel gaps on the rear hatch, and bonnet, and door fit that is especially good considering nearly 60 years of age. The chrome window and side glass surrounds are in excellent original condition overall, as are the front and rear. The original wire wheels feature chrome plated knock offs with excellent finish now wearing a set of Uniroyal narrow band white wall tires date coded 2023. The tan interior (representing the earlier tan hue for this series) is original throughout and again, consistent with the rest of the car, superbly detailed, clean, and properly preserved. The original carpet is excellent including the beaded edging and correct contours for the floor and center console. The dash pad is very fine owing to indoor storage avoiding unwanted sun damage. The instruments are beautifully preserved with excellent faces and contrasting color as are the AM/FM stereo, wood rimmed steering wheel and manual transmission shifter. The original door panels, matching covered door sills, headliner, and rear storage area are quite nice in both condition and material quality, again preserved and protected from outdoor elements. The engine compartment is correct in appearance and properly detailed. Having been rebuilt recently, the commissioning owner was careful to not overdo the engine compartment and thus retained the finishes and patina of the factory assembly. Both the engine numbers are evident and matching as is the “picture frame” support section bearing the correct chassis number, both of which correspond correctly to the data plate affixed to the car and the matching sales documentation supporting the original purchase. The undercarriage is clean, tidy, and very much in keeping with the 17,000 original miles being mercifully unrestored only cleaned to preserve the original finishes. The body seams, weld lines, and joinery are further indicative of original construction while all suspension, brakes, lines, and exhaust are original with only a few exceptions allowing for soft rubber parts to be replaced only as needed, here too retained as spares accompanying this car. Included with the car The car is accompanied by an original owner’s pouch, operating manual, warranty book, maintenance voucher book, a complete set of tools and tool roll, a pair of Carello fog lamps, the original four Dunlop tires, and an assortment of spare original engine and brake components removed during the engine rebuild and cosmetic freshening.

Engineering Ltd United Kingdom

Upon its introduction at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz bosses knew that the 230 SL had big shoes to fill. Following directly in the footsteps of the 300 SL and 190 SL, the Stuttgart marque sought to address criticisms levelled at its earlier sports cars—namely, that the former was too expensive, and the latter lacked power. As the 230 SL was revealed in Switzerland, the long-serving and leading Mercedes-Benz head of development and research, Professor Fritz Nallinger, announced: ‘It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance, which despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of traveling comfort.’ And so, the W113-platform 230 SL was born. The roadster wore an attractive, Paul Bracq-styled design, while the removable concave “Pagoda” hardtop roof added distinctive looks that would come to characterise the car. The model was a hit, with over 48,000 examples made over a four-year production run, with almost 20,000 of those going to the United States. Famous owners ranged from John Lennon and Sophia Loren to Sir Stirling Moss. The example offered here was instrumental to the long-lasting success of the 230 SL, as it served as a development car for the model. Ordered in the name of Prof. Nallinger—the driving force behind this and other Mercedes-Benz sports cars, including the 300 SL—the car was configured by the engineer with automatic transmission and power steering. As a result, it is believed to be the first 230 SL to bear these features. The car was registered to Daimler-Benz AG of Stuttgart as “S-RV 439” on 11 June 1963, known internally as “Experimental Vehicle Ut” and assigned the test car number “8”. Prof. Nallinger used the car as his personal transport while also fulfilling the car’s developmental role. Over a series of documented test drives made by Prof. Nallinger—available to view in the history file as part of a report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage in 2023—Prof. Nallinger noted improvements to be made on the 230 SL, such as high noise levels recorded in the cabin. These documents extend to internal letters from Prof. Nallinger to the legendary Rudolf Uhlenhaut, and the engineers Herren Müller and Wilfert. It is thought that the single seat in the rear of the car—facing forward, unlike the sideward-mounted rear seat of the production-ready 230 SL—was installed for test purposes. Prof. Nallinger specified the car in the same configuration as the 230 SL revealed at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, complete with the unique and factory-correct colour pairing of Orange Metallic over Leder Türkis upholstery, with black dashboard panels and black hardtop. Today, the car retains this configuration, together with a largely original interior showing characterful patina, while the 230 SL retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, and engine. The car is offered with copies of its Data Card and order sheet, its first German registration, further to its history report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage. Marque enthusiasts will relish this opportunity to acquire a significant piece of automotive history. 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL 'Pagoda' RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The final evolution of the Abarth-Simca Coupé following the 1300 and 1600 cc models, the Abarth-Simca 2000 was introduced in 1964. Its powerplant was based on Simca’s 1,500 cc engine block and was capable of producing over 200 bhp, a staggering figure for such a small displacement engine. But perhaps what really caught the attention of everyone looking in the engine bay were its carburetors, a pair of the largest Webers ever produced, 58mm-choke DCOs. Capable of eating Porsche 904s for breakfast and dicing with Ferrari 250 GTOs (Abarth-Simca 2000s were faster than the GTOs at Montlhéry in 1964), these diminutive cars quickly gained a reputation for being the automotive equivalent of David to Ferrari, Porsche, and Jaguar’s Goliath. Abarth-Simca 2000s dominated hill climb championships and circuit racing, putting the major manufacturers on notice. While not much is known about 046’s early history, photos of the car wearing its original numberplate, TO 596033, exist showing the car racing. The car was first registered in Turin in January of 1964 directly to Abarth in Turin according to its original Carta di Circolazione, which supports the claim in John de Boer’s Italian Car Registry as 046 being an official factory run car. However, this claim nor its race history within its native Italy has yet to be verified otherwise. An Automotoclub Storico Italiano certificate dated December 1992 shows the car as being in the ownership of Mauro Lotti of Florence, and 046 is believed to have resided in Italy from new. The car was acquired by the father of the current owner from a gentleman collector based in Tuscany in 2019. The following year, the car recieved a service which included an engine rebuild and four new tyres. These 2.0-litre Abarth-Simcas are said to provide an absolutely incredible driving experience and have well-earned their giant-killer reputation both in period and historic motorsport events alike. Looking respondent in light blue paintwork, this would be an exciting car to race at events like the Tour Auto or Goodwood Revival, but also the perfect car for some spirited Sunday morning driving. 1964 Abarth Simca 2000 GT RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Engineering Ltd United Kingdom

Aston Martin's post-war evolution took a major step forward with the launch of the DB4 in 1958. Classically proportioned, the beautiful, Touring-designed, body established an instantly recognisable look that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970. The engine was still an all-alloy, twin overhead-camshaft six but the old W.O. Bentley-supervised 3-litre unit had been superseded by a new design from the pen of Tadek Marek. The new 3,670cc straight-six developed 240bhp at 5,500rpm and the David Brown gearbox was an all-new, 4-speed all-synchromesh design. Five distinct Series were built as the DB4 gradually metamorphosed into the DB5 which was introduced in July 1963. The new '5' boasted an enlarged 4-litre engine which had seen service initially powering the four-door Lagonda Rapide of 1961 and, having proven itself reliable, was subtly modified to suit the sporting aspirations of Aston's new flagship. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the 4,000cc engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a 4-speed/overdrive gearbox, a proper ZF 5-speed unit becoming standard later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened Series V DB4. Outwardly there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, although these had already appeared on some of the earlier cars. Beneath the skin however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics, Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops, Sundym glass, electric windows and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. This delightful DB5 left the Newport Pagnell factory in September 1964, originally finished in Sierra Blue with a Fawn interior and, according to a copy of the original guarantee, was sold by Aston Martin dealers, Brooklands, to Woodward (Hampstead) Ltd., a firm of furniture manufacturers, presumably for the use of their Chairman. DVLA historical records show that #DB5169R belonged to a Mr George Martin White from Kensington in 1968 and was under the same ownership in Gerrards Cross in 1970. It was subsequently returned to the factory in 1971 for a service at 57,000 miles before becoming the property of Leigh Road Garage in Chumleigh in 1975, who sold it a couple of years later to Cheltenham-based Anthony Finney in 1977. No further ownership change is recorded until the DB5 came into the possession of Antea Cars of Wandsworth, who in turn exported it to a Japanese buyer some time later. DB5 5169R remained in Japan until it was discovered by respected marque specialist, Desmond J Smail, in original condition and still dressed in its original factory paint and trim combination. Several months later, the car was repatriated to the UK and sold to its previous owner with a view to a full 'ground-up' restoration. Desmond Smail completed the work in 2014, with the costs totalling some £200,000. The process was incredibly thorough with 'no stone left unturned', including industry-leading body and chassis fabrication by Bodylines of Olney and the repaint superbly finished in gleaming Rothesay Red by fellow Olney specialists, the Lone Pine Garage. Additional works included a full engine rebuild to 4.2-litre specification with Cosworth pistons, gearbox and axle rebuilds and a full retrim in Connolly hides and Wilton carpeting by Desmond’s ex-factory trimmer, Joe Dorrill. The Aston is as good as – or, to be accurate, probably slightly better than - the day it left the factory and now incorporates a few discreet modern upgrades including air-conditioning, a music system with iPod connectivity, electric cooling fans and further sound and heat proofing. The result is a sublime looking and driving DB5, perfect for long distance grand tours and for displaying on the global concours circuit. Having covered just 3,400 miles since the restoration was completed ten years ago, it was purchased by our vendor in April 2019. The DB5 has formed part of his private Collection, where it has continued to be lovingly maintained, serviced and MOT’d annually by Desmond J Smail and used only on high days and holidays. #DB5169R is a matching numbers car with its original engine and gearbox and presents superbly in the seldom seen hue of Rothesay Red. It’s accompanied by its original build sheets, the Heritage Certificate and the fully documented restoration history. We invite and encourage your viewing of this fabulous DB5 to fully appreciate its quality. It is one of the very few and very best DB5s you will ever find. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Sports Saloon Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A UK-supplied, right-hand drive example fitted with the desirable manual gated gearbox. Fresh to market following 15 years spent off the road in professional storage. Inheriting the proportions of its predecessor, the F355 was outwardly a much better resolved proposition, both aesthetically and aerodynamically. However, beneath the fabulous styling and smoother skin were further major advancements, including power steering, variable damping and a 100cc engine enlargement. The longitudinally mounted 3,496cc V8 generated a market-leading 380bhp at a spine-tingling 8,250rpm and the gearbox now had six speeds with a revised synchromesh making gear changes so much smoother. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface and the result of all these developments was evident around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track when the F355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder 512 TR. Sitting on the cusp between analogue and digital the F355 is considered the forerunner of all modern Ferraris and as the last of the hand-built cars before the 360 and later descendants moved to mass production. It will inevitably slip into the role of 'Classic Ferrari' with ease, becoming increasingly sought after now as the market appreciated next year's investment. Classically presented in Rosso Corsa with a Crema interior and red carpets, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive F355 is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and according to its accompanying service book, was delivered via Stratstone, Wilmslow to a Mr Higginson on 4th August 1998. The odometer at the time of cataloguing was showing 36,938 miles and the V5C shows four former keepers. The car has been off the road without an MOT since 2010 kept in professional storage and is therefore fresh to market from long term ownership. In preparation for this sale, in June 2025 over £8,000 was invested into the mechanicals of the car including removing the engine, replacing timing belts, hydraulic tensioners, aux belts, AC belt, spark plugs, ignition leads and oil and fuel filters. In addition to this work the seller tells us that the 355 will be issued with a fresh MOT prior to the auction We very much encourage interested parties to come and see the car in the metal at Silverstone. Cosmetically it is in need of some further love and attention and despite the recent investment, it has been off the road for 15 years so buyers will perhaps need to factor in further recommissioning considering it’s lack of road-use. Guided very competitively, factoring in the above, this is a rare and desirable car that is crying out for its new owner to get it back on the road. A 355 when fully sorted is hugely engaging to drive, particularly when fitted with the manual gearbox, the V8 when on full song sounds like an F1 car and is simply addictive. 1998 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Engineering Ltd United Kingdom

When Group B was canned at the end of 1986, Lancia needed a production-based alternative in order to adhere to newly devised Group A regulations for the 1987 season. The Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign penned Delta had been launched in 1979 and although briefly running as a narrow body car in the 1987 Championship- which it duly won- it was the widened track, Integrale from 1988 that is remembered so favourably. The Delta would go on to take 6 Manufacturer’s Championships, 4 Driver's Championships and 46 wins overall between 1987 and 1992. Introduced in late 1991, the Evoluzione I brought with it a wider track, a remapped 16v engine and an Alcantara interior. The Evoluzione II was introduced two years later. Revised emissions regulations saw the introduction of a catalytic converter, although power was still up. The Evoluzione II became the base for a number of highly desirable special editions until production ended in 1995. Among the ‘Evo I’ based special edition models, was the Martini 6 – which immediately superseded the Evoluzione I based Martini 5 after Lancia had won their 6th consecutive World Rally Championship for Manufacturers – a record that remains unbroken. Much like its predecessor, the ‘6’ was adorned in Martini colours, however subtle differences and a striking Turquoise Alcantara interior assured the cars’ distinguishability. It later transpired that Lancia’s 6th Manufactures’ Championship would be their last, therefore cementing the Delta Martini 6 as a bookend in the model’s lineage, as the only model built as a direct celebration of the Delta’s WRC success in its entirety. A well-documented example, this intriguing Martini 6 was the chosen subject of an in-depth article in Octane December 2024; thoroughly outlining the car’s bespoke conception, and prototype mythology after extensive research by Paul Baker, past long standing president and current vice president of the Lancia Motor Club UK. Originally intended for use by Fiat boss, Gianni Agnelli, car number 44 – of just 310 Martini 6s – is distinguishable from its peers by a number of bespoke differences: ultimately resulting in the thought that this example is in-fact a one-off prototype, devised by ‘in-house’ specialist consultants Autec Srl. After founding and gifting the company to designer Dante Giacosa as a thank you for his efforts at Fiat, Agnelli gave the go-ahead for Autec to quietly use their expertise to develop special projects under-the-radar; further alluding to car 44’s legend. It was this little known design consultancy, a secret even within Fiat, that the Delta would be first registered to. Unique differences include a blue-printed engine, competition suspension, electric rear wing and full-length brake vents on the front wings. Other bespoke touches, include an electric Martini Racing radio cover and bespoke Abarth – largely responsible for the development of the Delta WRC car – branding throughout. The Delta would in fact see use by Gianni’s son Edoardo until his death in 2000. The following year, the car was placed for sale with an independent dealership and offered as a standard Martini 6. Noticed on display by chance, Mr Matthews acquired the car immediately and imported the car to the UK. The Delta would remain with him for nearly a decade. Its interim custodian, and serial collector of Italian classics would further retain the car for a period of 5 years. Under the care of its current owner, the Delta has most recently was returned to its native Turin, where it was subject to a full, nut and bolt, ground up restoration. Fully-documented with countless photographs, in a bespoke Martini 6 branded folder – it now presents in the specification in which it was intended for Agnelli – with additional, period correct decals. An opportunity to acquire arguably the most desirable Lancia Delta variant, intended for a titan of the automotive industry, with bespoke touches – this Evoluzione I Martini 6 is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione 1 'Martini 6' D.K.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright When Group B was canned at the end of 1986, Lancia needed a production-based alternative in order to adhere to newly devised Group A regulations for the 1987 season. The Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign penned Delta had been launched in 1979 and although briefly running as a narrow body car in the 1987 Championship- which it duly won- it was the widened track, Integrale from 1988 that is remembered so favourably. The Delta would go on to take 6 Manufacturer’s Championships, 4 Driver's Championships and 46 wins overall between 1987 and 1992. Introduced in late 1991, the Evoluzione I brought with it a wider track, a remapped 16v engine and an Alcantara interior. The Evoluzione II was introduced two years later. Revised emissions regulations saw the introduction of a catalytic converter, although power was still up. The Evoluzione II became the base for a number of highly desirable special editions until production ended in 1995. Among the ‘Evo I’ based special edition models, was the Martini 6 – which immediately superseded the Evoluzione I based Martini 5 after Lancia had won their 6th consecutive World Rally Championship for Manufacturers – a record that remains unbroken. Much like its predecessor, the ‘6’ was adorned in Martini colours, however subtle differences and a striking Turquoise Alcantara interior assured the cars’ distinguishability. It later transpired that Lancia’s 6th Manufactures’ Championship would be their last, therefore cementing the Delta Martini 6 as a bookend in the model’s lineage, as the only model built as a direct celebration of the Delta’s WRC success in its entirety. A well-documented example, this intriguing Martini 6 was the chosen subject of an in-depth article in Octane December 2024; thoroughly outlining the car’s bespoke conception, and prototype mythology after extensive research by Paul Baker, past long standing president and current vice president of the Lancia Motor Club UK. Originally intended for use by Fiat boss, Gianni Agnelli, car number 44 – of just 310 Martini 6s – is distinguishable from its peers by a number of bespoke differences: ultimately resulting in the thought that this example is in-fact a one-off prototype, devised by ‘in-house’ specialist consultants Autec Srl. After founding and gifting the company to designer Dante Giacosa as a thank you for his efforts at Fiat, Agnelli gave the go-ahead for Autec to quietly use their expertise to develop special projects under-the-radar; further alluding to car 44’s legend. It was this little known design consultancy, a secret even within Fiat, that the Delta would be first registered to. Unique differences include a blue-printed engine, competition suspension, electric rear wing and full-length brake vents on the front wings. Other bespoke touches, include an electric Martini Racing radio cover and bespoke Abarth – largely responsible for the development of the Delta WRC car – branding throughout. The Delta would in fact see use by Gianni’s son Edoardo until his death in 2000. The following year, the car was placed for sale with an independent dealership and offered as a standard Martini 6. Noticed on display by chance, Mr Matthews acquired the car immediately and imported the car to the UK. The Delta would remain with him for nearly a decade. Its interim custodian, and serial collector of Italian classics would further retain the car for a period of 5 years. Under the care of its current owner, the Delta has most recently was returned to its native Turin, where it was subject to a full, nut and bolt, ground up restoration. Fully-documented with countless photographs, in a bespoke Martini 6 branded folder – it now presents in the specification in which it was intended for Agnelli – with additional, period correct decals. An opportunity to acquire arguably the most desirable Lancia Delta variant, intended for a titan of the automotive industry, with bespoke touches – this Evoluzione I Martini 6 is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately.

CRÈME DE LA CRÈME High-end luxury and sporting brands often have a tradition of creating a limited-edition halo product, something so special that it almost makes their core products seem commonplace by comparison. For Ferrari this tradition often involved naming the product after its intended market, beginning with the 212 Export of the early 1950s, which was intended for American privateer use and specified with a hotter mechanical set-up than the concurrent Inter cars bound for European homes. But Maranello’s supercar tradition was truly established with the 340 America, which offered well-heeled customers the opportunity to own a model made in smaller numbers, equipped with the ferocious Lampredi racing engine, and cosmetically trimmed to rival the finest luxury touring cars. This in turn led to the 342 and 375 America models, which segued into several series of large-bore Superamerica models. Amidst this evolution of the Lampredi-based flagship models, in 1957 Ferrari more quietly took a similar approach with the Colombo-engine 250 GT model line. In an echo of the highly successful 250 GT Tour de France racing berlinetta, Ferrari began to offer a racing spider that was specifically conceived for the United States’ west-coast market. The 250 GT California Spider was equipped with race-bred mechanical components for the avid SCCA privateer, but many were trimmed with great panache, featuring high-quality leather interiors that belied the model’s true dual-use purpose. Built in a modest quantity of 106 examples through two different iterations on the long and short-wheelbase chassis, the 250 GT California Spider evolved into a verifiable legend, and is today regarded as one of the most collectible Ferraris ever built. By the mid-1960s both the 250 GT platform and the large-bore Superamericas were essentially out of production. But Maranello had one more ace up its sleeve, a model that would basically combine the two concepts into one fabulous boutique product. At the 1966 Geneva Salon, on Pininfarina’s stand, Ferrari unveiled a new open-top model built in the tradition of both the Superamerica and the California Spider. This top-shelf offering proved to be the final entry in Ferrari’s long and distinguished vintage tradition of building limited-edition supercars for very well-heeled customers and preferred Ferrari clientele. The new model’s primary attraction was its exquisite open coachwork, which was designed and built by Pininfarina. The front end was visually similar to the 500 Superfast, with a small oval nose, faired-in headlamps, and two elegant pop-up driving lamps set inboard of the main lights. An impossibly long front deck led to a steeply raked windscreen, while the beltline gave way to a triangular cosmetic flourish that integrated into the door handle, a speed-strake cue that became iconic (and functional) in future models such as the 206 Dino and the 308 series. The design concluded distinctively with the sweeping lines converging into an angular Kamm tail. This masterful coachwork was one of the most fetching designs in Pininfarina’s extensive history, and it was mounted on a derivation of Ferrari’s type 598 chassis, the 2,650 milimeter-wheelbase platform also used for the 330 GT 2+2. Power was provided by a development of the single-overhead-cam 330 engine, which was enlarged to 4.4 liters. This was Ferrari’s first 365-engine road car, presaging such classics at the 365 GTC and GTS, not to mention the dual-cam 365 GTB/4 Daytona and Spider, and the 365 GTC/4. Desirable performance components like power steering and Borrani wire wheels were standard-equipped, while a bevy of other accessories were available as optional equipment. With eyes once again set on the American buyer, and hoping to evoke the competition triumphs and aesthetic mastery of the 250 GT California Spider, the new model was dubbed the 365 California Spyder. Only 14 examples were ultimately built during 18 months of boutique production, and they were generally sold to a jet-set list of clients that included prominent businessmen and lesser royalty. 365 California Spyders only rarely become available on the open market today, leaving the model somewhat shrouded in mystery, and subject to oft-repeated mistruths. The fact remains, however, that despite being trimmed for the luxury market with little aspirations to racing, the 365 California delivers the kind of robust performance that has impressed many owners over the course of long-distance tours and events, as testified by an admiring caretaker in a past issue of Prancing Horse magazine. For the enthusiast of Ferrari’s long and fruitful collaboration with Pininfarina, there can be no higher watermark than the 365 California. Exquisitely designed, indubitably rare, and appointed for the likes of royalty, this outstanding model constitutes the last of Ferrari’s vintage flagship open touring models—and what an extraordinary statement it was! CHASSIS NUMBER 9935 Claiming a short chain of ownership including two long-term caretakers; a 2009 refurbishment by one of the niche’s most respected restoration concerns; and authentication of its matching-numbers chassis, engine, gearbox, rear axle, and body by Ferrari Classiche, this breathtaking 365 California is a particularly desirable example of Maranello’s mid-1960s flagship spider. According to the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, which is corroborated by a deep file of documentation, chassis number 9935 is the ninth of the 14 examples built. Completed in May 1967, the 365 was evidently ordered new by Waldorf Leasing on behalf of Los Angeles resident Nancy Tewksbury, who already owned chassis number 6919, a 275 GTS. The California was trimmed with a Bianco Molitan “M” white leather interior that matched her 275 GTS, and it was appointed with a passenger headrest, air conditioning, and instruments in miles. In addition to the standard power steering, the car was equipped with an uprated Bendix fuel pump. While the interior was complemented by a matching white soft top, and contrasting red carpets, the curvaceous coachwork was finished in Rosso Cina (China Red) paint, combining for a very striking color scheme. After a factory certificate of origin was issued in mid-June, the Ferrari was shipped to Chinetti Motors in New York, and subsequently dispatched to Mrs. Tewksbury, who officially leased the car from Waldorf Leasing. Oddly enough, the first owner kept the Spyder for only a few months, after which Waldorf sold the car in 1968 to its second private owner, Charles Garretson of Detroit, Michigan. During 1969 the California was sold to a succession of two very well-known and respected dealers, first passing to Kirk F. White Motorcars, which in turn sold the car to famed competition driver and sports car importer Bob Grossman. In March 1971 the 365 found a much more lasting home when it was purchased by Dr. Donald Grove, a physicist on the faculty of Princeton University, in New Jersey. While not a typical collector, Dr. Grove was extremely bright and more than mechanically capable, and he performed many of his own repairs while enjoying the Spyder as a reliable daily driver, as clarified by his correspondence and a handwritten service log on file. In late 1978 Dr. Grove submitted the Ferrari to The Motorcar Company of Cranbrook, New Jersey, for a comprehensive restoration. Following completion of this work, the 365 was displayed in September 1982 at a Ferrari meeting in Bel Air, Maryland, organized by the well-known marque enthusiast Ron Spangler, proprietor of the Prancing Horse Farm. The California remained in Dr. Grove’s possession through at least 1998, accounting for a remarkable period of over 27 years of fastidious single-owner care. In 2004 the car was finally sold to a Florida-based dealer who presented the Ferrari at the Cavallino Classic staged at the 2004 Concorso Italiano in California, and the car took home a Platinum Award. In June 2006 the Ferrari was sold to the current owner. Though the California was admirably complete, the prior restoration was beginning to show its age, so the new owner decided to commission a top-shelf refurbishment by one of the best names in the business, Paul Russell & Company. As confirmed by a host of photos and correspondence on file, this restoration addressed every mechanical and cosmetic element, including a refinish in the original color scheme of Rosso Cina paint over a Bianco Molitan “M" leather interior. Upon completion of this important work in 2009, the California was presented at a number of high-level shows, beginning with the Cavallino Classic in January 2009. Three months later the owner took the Spyder on a tour of some major European events, and in 2017 the car was invited to participate in the factory’s 70th Anniversary Classiche Cavalcade, which it successfully completed. In addition to benefitting from further service by Paul Russell, the 365 was certified in April 2013 by Ferrari Classiche with a Red Book that authenticates the continued presence of all the major matching-numbers mechanical equipment, including the chassis, engine, gearbox, rear axle, and coachwork. The car is very well documented with factory build sheet copies; 1971 sales invoice and title; prior owner’s notes and correspondence; paperwork and photos from the Paul Russell restoration; and the coveted Red Book and associated Certificate of Authenticity. 9935 is furthermore offered with owner’s manuals, toolkit, and tire jack kit, among other accessories. 365 California Spyder examples so rarely come up for public auction that one has not crossed a block within the US in over 10 years. This exquisite car, offered from 18 years of fastidious single-owner care, presents an amazing opportunity to acquire the last of the best, and the best of the last—the ultimate flagship luxury grand touring spider built by the company that practically invented the concept. Sure to be welcomed at major events and exhibitions worldwide, this rare 365 California Spyder would make a crowning addition to any stable of thoroughbred sports cars. 1967 Ferrari 365 California Spyder by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
