- 1964 Lotus 26R
Highlights for this car One of 45 Series 1 26R factory race cars built by Lotus Lap record holder at Laguna Seca and Sonoma 2022 Class Rolex Award for Excellence Virtually unbeatable recent race results Documented ownership history since new Excellent condition with top-level mechanical preparation A rare and historically important Lotus ready for race use General History With the introduction of the Model 26 Elan in 1962, Lotus was poised to deliver superlative engineering and innovative racing concepts into a well-balanced lightweight competition car, cleverly cloaked in street trim. The genius behind Colin Chapman was not limited to building great racing cars, rather that they served a dual, albeit often challenging purpose – a car that can compete but still be usable on the street. With the new Elan, the results hit the target perfectly. The 1,500 lb roadster utilized a steel backbone frame with bonded fiberglass body panels, refined suspension, and disc brakes all around. Though racing for the Elan was limited to privateer entrants in the early days, it became clear that the Elan proved to be a massive success in the hands of capable drivers. In 1964 the Elan became homologated as the 26R. Spanning a mere two years, 97 examples were constructed in both S1 and S2 configurations. Vastly superior due to the small footprint, lightweight construction, and capable twin cam engine, many standard Lotus Elans were privately built to racing specifications but only 97 factory prepared race cars were built by Lotus. Refinements included a stiffened chassis, triangulated rollbar, up-rated suspension using competition wishbones and sliding spline drive shafts, wider magnesium wheels, lightweight thinner skin laminate body construction with covered cowl-type headlights, and dual circuit disc brakes with light alloy calipers. A BRM or Cosworth purpose-built race engine netting 135-165 hp was mated to magnesium cast gearboxes and limited slip aluminum alloy differential carriers to further save weight. Top level drivers would achieve win after win behind the wheel of these capable and impressive sports cars so much so that motorsports press would herald these cars as giant killers, taking down cars with often double the engine size, backed by millions of dollars in corporate funding. Of the 97 competition 26R models built, a mere 30 factory original examples are purported to exist today due in part to the nature of racing and the consistent improvements made as the model evolved. General Overview This factory-built Lotus 26R was assembled in 1964 as serial number 37, among the last of the Series 1 examples constructed (45 in all), it was finished with BRG livery, fitted with engine #156 41 002, and delivered to the first owner, Mr. Henry Kelley, on July 11, 1964. Kelley raced the car at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch, and Donington Raceway. In 1968 the car was purchased by Frank Opalka, Chicago, IL who raced the car from 1968-1988 in both Production and Production Modified SCCA classes, sharing wheel time with John Gabriel. In 1990 the car was sold to John Weinberger (Continental Motors, Chicago, IL) who enlisted expert Jim Groom in Berkeley, CA to rest0re the car. Under his ownership, the drive yolk broke while at speed participating in the David Love races. The resultant body damage was assessed and determined that a new body shell would be better than repairing the older shell. The older body shell was removed, all parts transferred to the new body, various details freshened, and a new super lightweight fiberglass Tony Thompson body was purchased and installed. The chassis was sent to Jim Groom who previously had built the roll cage. Groom repaired the cage and assessed the frame, determining it to be straight and not in need of repairs. Weinberger raced the car at Road America and other NE venues. By 1995 the car was sold to Greg Whitten, Seattle, WA a well-known Lotus racing enthusiast with two other 26Rs in his collection. The ACCUS FIA/USA technical passport was assigned to the car in 2007. Whitten sold the car to the next owner, a Seattle, WA resident who achieved several wins and podium finishes at Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Road America, Watkins Glen, and Mount Tremblac. The current owner purchased the car in 2021. Importantly, this rare car has always been in the hands of thoughtful enthusiasts and carefully prepared by Lotus racing professionals tending to all mechanical details as evidenced by 230 pages of detailed records outlining work performed on the car from 2007-2021, including several entries for work performed in 2021, 2020, and 2019 as well as extensive preparation under current ownership. Among the more notable work performed on the car, in 2005, the gearbox was rebuilt, and Veloce Motors West prepared a specially built engine to mate with the freshly built gearbox. Dyno sheets and summary letter indicate peak power of 185hp within the 8,000 – 8,300 rpm range. Invoices for the engine work, gear ratios, engine components, and dyno sheet accompany the car. Although a wet sump engine, it runs as a dry sump configuration with a large volume oil pan. A new SAS cylinder head was installed in 2016. In April 2021, in preparation for Monterey week racing at Laguna Seca, a new racing harness was installed, a new radiator fitted, and a custom tach cable installed. 2020 work included the installation of the engine, chassis dyno time, new fuel lines, Quaife GR kit, new main case, and axle seals. Under current ownership, in September 2022 Deutsche Motorsports, Concord, CA installed new brake rotors and pads, new front and rear shock absorbers, new front anti-roll bar, weld repair for the driveshaft, and nut/battery inspection. in April 2023 Thompson Racing supplied a new complete cassette type lightweight Mig welded roll cage, which is included with the car, ready for installation. Work performed in preparation for Monterey, July 2023, also by Deutsche included fluids, new battery (battery box modified for better fit), nut/bolt/chassis inspection, and brake check. In October 2023 Turbohoses R&D, Livermore, CA removed the engine and disassembled the transmission to repair the shift rod and weld shift assembly. The transmission, having been converted to a dog ring type with internals in a stock case required some clearance correction. The shaft bushing was machined for better fit, and clearance modifications made to improve shift performance. At the Monterey Rolex Reunion the current owner qualified on class pole (GT cars under 2.5 liters) but started both races from the back for fun. From 24th, it won both races posting lap times that would have been competitive running with Shelby Cobras and Ferrari 250 GTOs in the over 2.5-liter class. This Lotus also won overall in the Monterey Historics SCCA Production Sports Car field in 2022 and was given the class Rolex Award for Excellence. In 2023 it was on Pole and won overall at Velocity Invitational against 250LMs. In total under current ownership this 26R has proved victorious no less than three times at the Rolex Reunion and three times at the Velocity Invitational, while demonstrating the quickest recorded times for any Lotus Elan-based car at both Sonoma Raceway and Laguna Seca. From a competition perspective, this example has proven to be essentially unbeatable. General Condition Today this historically important Lotus has been faithfully cared for and properly prepared for vintage event competition. With multiple experts weighing in on the provenance in period and over the past 47 years, the current cosmetic condition is reflective of the original BRG racing livery and sensitively performed upgrades appropriate for modern competition use. The attention to detail from the bodywork to the mechanical features is evident throughout every aspect of the car. The paintwork overall is glossy, with typical stone chips on front facing surfaces consistent with vintage race duty. The magnesium wheels and racing tires are in excellent condition, appropriately sized and tucked under the gently flared wheel arches. The clear lenses covering the fixed headlights, rear lighting, windscreen and hardtop are also in very good condition. A single yellow stripe tracks the center of the car, flanked by twin pin stripes and white meatballs adorned with number 37. Quad taillights, chrome door handles, and rocker panel air scoops (which aid in rear brake cooling) blend the road and competition feel of these early S1 factory homologated race cars. The windshield is adorned with numerous event stickers from the past five years indicating recent racing participation at some of the most respected racing venues on the west coast. The cockpit is clean and very well laid out offering excellent right hand driving position and natural access to the shifter and foot pedals. Twin formed bucket seats match the flat black interior finishes, and a competition five-point seat belt dated to December 2023 protects the driver while a wide lap belt awaits a fortunate passenger should the opportunity arise. A fire suppression system is also professionally installed along with a lightweight and recently fitted (July 2023) battery mounted to the footwell area of the passenger compartment. The roll bar features side impact cross member construction at both doors, while the black finish dashboard offers vintage instruments, protected toggle switches, and a Lotus branded steering wheel. Purposefully constructed with racing in mind, there is a nice blend of vintage components and high-level finish that completes the cockpit in a very cohesive manner. Under the removable hood, the capable twin-cam engine sits proudly upright, defying the low hood line and considerable power derived from such a potent 4-cylinder engine. The compact engine is finished with black crackle coating over the cam covers while the intake side is fed by 45DCOE Weber carburetors and a correct air box, force fed from a large intake hose at the front of the car. The opposite side of the engine features four beautifully formed exhaust header tubes exiting to stainless steel exhaust. Everything from the aluminum radiator to the plumbing, lines, hoses, and fittings are all beautifully and purposefully assembled to a high level of finish. The hinged trunk is finished in flat black and houses a professionally built fuel tank with proper hardware and lines. Underneath the car, the quality continues to amaze with excellent components, beautifully built suspension, robust axle shafts, and thoughtful detailing. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an historically correct and documented example of one of the most important Lotus competition cars ever built. The Lotus 26R is not only a legendary racecar from an historic perspective, it will confidently compete at the head of the pack in any current vintage racing event, just as it has in recent races. The excellent mechanical condition, known ownership history, and the historic importance of factory construction figure prominently in the rarity and usability of this rare and desirable Series 1 Lotus 26R. PLEASE NOTE: although this car has been previously prepared for competition use, we recommend that a qualified race shop review the car to determine all systems are appropriately prepared before it is used in a competition setting. Items Included with the Car This car is accompanied by service records spanning more than 20 years, a copy of the ACCUS Historic Technical Report, numerous notes compiled from former owners, a Lotus Elan E001A roll cage, new on palate (purchased April 2023), seven coil springs of various ratings, various bagged parts, gaskets, and misc. hub parts, Facet fuel pump, and a spare sway bar. 1964 Lotus 26R Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974 Alfa Romeo Montreal
From its inception, the name Alfa Romeo has been synonymous with Italian engineering and design. Founded in 1910, the company has a rich history of producing some of the most iconic and beautiful cars ever made. From the early days of the Alfa Romeo Grand Prix cars, which dominated motorsports in the 1920s, to the elegant and powerful road cars of the 1950s and 1960s, Alfa Romeo has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation. The Alfa Romeo Montreal was a genuine departure from the typical Alfa Romeo design ethos. First introduced as a concept car in 1967 at Expo 67, held in Montreal, Quebec, the response from the public was so positive that Alfa Romeo had to put the car into production. The Montreal was designed to appeal to a more youthful, sporty market, which they accomplished by bringing in Marcello Gandini to pen a fresh new design that featured a distinctive front grille, pop-up headlights, and a sleek, coupe-like body. The interior was equally impressive, with leather seats and a well-appointed dashboard. Alfa Romeo once again stepped out of the box by equipping the car with a DOHC V8 engine, derived from the 2-liter V8 utilized in their 33 Stradale and Tipo 33 racing cars. The Montreal’s 2.6-liter V8 engine produced around 200 horsepower, which was quite impressive for its time. The engine was paired with a ZF five-speed manual transmission coupled with a limited-slip differential. Additionally, the Montreal featured Spica fuel injection, a relatively new feature at the time. These mechanical features, along with the car’s lightweight body, helped to make the Montreal not only a gorgeous vehicle but also quite the performer as well. Today, the Alfa Romeo Montreal remains highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its combination of performance, style, and Italian heritage means it ticks all the boxes for desirability. With only 3,925 units produced from 1971 through 1977, it is unlikely you will see another one driving down the road or even at other car events. The example on offer here, Chassis # AR 1440210, is just 1 of 104 right-hand drive examples produced and was delivered new to Australia. It is a highly original, numbers-matching example that currently has 41,257 original miles on the odometer. This example was manufactured in October of 1974 and was then delivered to the far-off destination of Australia. It appears that the car spent the first few years of its life in the Melbourne area until May 2, 1987, when the current owner and consignor, a former rally driver, automotive designer, and mechanical engineer purchased the car from Prestige Classic Autos of Melbourne. Shortly after purchasing the Montreal, the current consignor was transferred to Cologne, Germany, for work, and the Alfa followed him there. While in Germany, the Montreal was used to explore the winding backroads and beautiful mountainscapes the country has to offer and even garnered a ‘Peoples Choice’ and ‘Best in Show’ award at a Frankfurt car show. In 1992 the consignor was again transferred for work, this time to the USA, and once again, the Alfa followed along. When they arrived in Michigan, they immediately joined the local chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club and began showing and displaying their wonderful Montreal. Shortly after arriving stateside, #0201 was awarded ‘Best in Class’ at the “Italian Happenings” show, held in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, in 1993. Over the next thirty years, #0210 would go on to be shown many more times throughout the mid-west, becoming a staple invite at some of the most well-known shows, including the Meadowbrook Concours d’Elegance, Concours d’Italia, Eyes on Design, and the Concours of America at St. Johns, to name a few. Over this period, it garnered numerous ‘Best in Class’ and ‘Peoples Choice’ awards, as well as various other prizes and ribbons. Throughout the years, the car was always kept in immaculate condition, both cosmetically and mechanically, as can be seen by its presence at the 2022 Concours d’Elegance of Detroit, where the car again won ‘Best in Class’ amongst stiff competition in the ‘European Classics-Modern’ class. Despite its numerous Concourse appearance, this Montreal is anything but a garage queen. Not only was it driven extensively throughout Germany and the rest of Europe during the owner’s time spent there, but it has also done numerous long-distance road rallies both here in the USA and also in Canada. 0210 has also successfully completed 3 Michigan Mille events, covering over 1,000 miles on each outing. Given its regular spirited use, it is quite clear that the mechanical nature of this car has been just as cared for as the cosmetics. Over the years, the Montreal has mostly been serviced by the more than capable owner, given his automotive background, as well as Alfa Romeo Specialist, Trail Auto. Most recently, from 2017-2022, the Montreal received a mechanical restoration, including a complete photo-documented rebuild of the engine and transmission as well as most major mechanical components. During this time, the radiator, water pump, alternator, starter, brakes, and ECU were also rebuilt. In addition, in April of 2021, the transmission was completely rebuilt by Alfa Parts Exchange in California, and at this time, the clutch was replaced as well. This is further documented in the 75 pages of receipts that accompany the sale and can be viewed in the ‘View Documents’ tab at the top of the listing. As it sits today, this 1974 Alfa Romeo Montreal is a fantastic example; it is arguably one of the best examples extant, with both the provenance and careful ownership that anyone would hope for when looking to invest in a beautiful piece of Italian workmanship. It quite literally checks all the boxes one would want to see in a collector-grade vehicle. It has been incredibly well cared for by its automotive designer owner, it is in exceptional condition both mechanically and cosmetically, and is being offered out of long-term ownership of over 35 years. With its striking design and powerful V8 engine, the Montreal broke the mold for Alfa Romeo. This step outside of the box has contributed to the collectability of the car and will undoubtedly continue to drive strong desire and prices for these excellent Alfa Romeo automobiles. Included with the sale of the vehicle are the factory tools, jack, and spare wheel, as well as a set of luggage. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The Rosso 521 exterior paint appears in excellent condition throughout the car. It is consistent without any major blemishes or noticeable flaws. The body is straight, and the panels have appropriate gaps where they align. The one small imperfection is on the headlight covers where there is a slight chip in the left side cover. Glass And Trim The glass appears to be the original factory units all the way around with all rubber trim original and in a nice, supple condition, free of any cracking or obvious aging. The lenses, trim, mirrors, emblems, etc., are all in excellent condition with no issues to note. The front lip on the bottom of the bumper was recently repainted and is in very good condition. Wheels The wheels are correct and original to the car. They present in really nice condition with no scuffs or scratches. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is incredibly original, presents extremely nicely, and is very well preserved. The seats are in great shape with little to no wear on the bolsters. The only slight issue on the dashboard is some minor cracking around the middlemost air vent register. Functionality And Accessories Everything on the interior works as it should, including the power windows. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay presents very nicely with all the correct hoses and other fittings. No obvious issues to note. Trunk Area The carpet-lined trunk is in good condition and houses the full-sized spare tire underneath. Underside The underside is very presentable and well-preserved. Overall it is in good condition and matches the mileage. MECHANICALS Engine The 2.6L V8 fires to life immediately without any issues to note. The car revs freely and sounds as it should, with no unwanted noises, no smoke. The exhaust note is very muscle car in nature and gives off a pleasant rumble. Transmission The ZF sourced 5-Speed manual transmission slots right into gear with clearly defined gates and a nice amount of resistance. The clutch pedal has a stiff, but easy to modulate action. Brakes And Suspension The brakes bring the car to a controlled stop with no issues. The Koni shocks are taut but not overly so and are in good order. Tires The tires are Pirelli Cinturatos size 205/70/R14 dated to 2018 and have just completed a 1000 mile rally without issue, and are ready for more miles. DRIVING EXPERIENCE The Montreal is essentially Alfa Romeo’s version of the American Muscle Car. The V-8 engine and exhaust have a beautiful throaty sound to them, the kind one would expect to hear out of a Mustang or Camaro. The overall experience puts a smile on your face as it’s not what you would expect to experience behind the wheel of an Alfa. The Montreal pulls hard through the gears, shifts smoothly, and according to the manufacturer, was capable of 0-100km (62mph) in just 7.1 seconds. These numbers would make it faster than a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS (350ci), a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, and a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 396, as well as a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, all top performers from the American segment in the period. The handling is also a bit better than what you would expect from a vehicle from 1974, and overall it is more refined than many of its American counterparts. 1974 Alfa Romeo Montreal LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1965 Porsche 356C
Final Year of the 356 One of the Last Two hundred 356’s Built by Porsche Matching Numbers 2nd in Class at Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours in 2013 and 2014 Owned by a True Porsche Enthusiast Extensive Service Records Complete with Owner’s Manual, Porsche COA, Spare Wheel/Tire, and Tools The 1965 Porsche 356C Cabriolet holds a significant place in automotive history, epitomizing the essence of Porsche's design philosophy and engineering prowess during the mid-20th century. As the final iteration of the iconic 356 series, the 356C Cabriolet represents the culmination of decades of refinement and innovation by Porsche. It marked the peak of the 356's development, featuring enhancements in performance, comfort, and style that solidified its reputation as a timeless classic. This 356 Cabriolet was completely restored in the late 80’s and finished in the early 1990’s by Porsche expert Dennis Frick of Europa Macchina of Lewisberry, PA. The interior was outsourced to Autos International who restored the full leather upholstery, installed a Hartz top and tonneau, and correct German wool loop pile carpet. Since its restoration the 356C has been used sparingly and has been the winner of many awards and concours, including a national first from the Antique Automobile Club of America. The car has remained under the current owner for the past 11 years, only taking it out to feature in popular shows and concours near and around the Bay Area. With the current owner possessing multiple Porsche’s such as a 356 Roadster, as well as a 1969 Porsche 912, this 356 Cabriolet was passionately cared for throughout its ownership. This 356 was meticulously looked after, as the previous owner stated, “I think I was a car in my past life, so I’m going to take the best care of my cars in this life”. The car won 2nd in class at Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours in 2013 and 2014 during Monterey Car Week, along with 2nd in class at the Werks Reunion in 2014. NUMBERS-MATCHING, the engine and transmission are original to the car and chassis number stampings can be found on the inner doorframes, the front hood hinge, and rear engine lid. Date stamps on the wheels, window frames and other parts are correct. The car comes equipped with an original Blaupunkt radio, and comes with its owner’s manual, jack, and full tool kit with Messko tire gauge. With all numbers matching components, this 356 is purely original.

As the final iteration of the iconic 356 series, the 356C Cabriolet represents the culmination of decades of refinement and innovation by Porsche. It marked the peak of the 356's development, featuring enhancements in performance, comfort, and style that solidified its reputation as a timeless classic. This 356 Cabriolet was completely restored in the late 80’s and finished in the early 1990’s by Porsche expert Dennis Frick of Europa Macchina of Lewisberry, PA. The interior was outsourced to Autos International who restored the full leather upholstery, installed a Hartz top and tonneau, and correct German wool loop pile carpet. Since its restoration the 356C has been used sparingly and has been the winner of many awards and concours, including a national first from the Antique Automobile Club of America. The car has remained under the current owner for the past 11 years, only taking it out to feature in popular shows and concours near and around the Bay Area. With the current owner possessing multiple Porsche’s such as a 356 Roadster, as well as a 1969 Porsche 912, this 356 Cabriolet was passionately cared for throughout its ownership. This 356 was meticulously looked after, as the previous owner stated, “I think I was a car in my past life, so I’m going to take the best care of my cars in this life”. The car won 2nd in class at Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours in 2013 and 2014 during Monterey Car Week, along with 2nd in class at the Werks Reunion in 2014. NUMBERS-MATCHING, the engine and transmission are original to the car and chassis number stampings can be found on the inner doorframes, the front hood hinge, and rear engine lid. Date stamps on the wheels, window frames and other parts are correct. The car comes equipped with an original Blaupunkt radio, and comes with its owner’s manual, jack, and full tool kit with Messko tire gauge. With all numbers matching components, this 356 is purely original. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning Concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface.

Woodson The original owner was the President of the Lone Star Region of the Porsche Club of America. I was the Secretary – Treasurer. Beto traded the 912 in at Norman Scott Volkswagen-Porsche on the Southwest Freeway in Houston, Texas in 1972. On February 07, 1972, I bought the Porsche 912 from Norman Scott Volkswagen-Porsche and have maintained and driven it for the past 53 years. The car has been properly maintained and never needed to be restored. My Porsche 912 was recently entered in the TOURING CONCURS sponsored by the Lone Star Region of the Porsche Club of America on January 4, 2025. It scored 179.3 out of a possible 180 points and won First Place in Division 3 911 & 912 (1965 to 1973). I bought the Porsche 912 for several reasons. I was introduced to Porsche by Hearde W., a fellow engineering student at Texas A & M. Hearde would buy 1950's and 60's 356 Porsches and together, we would rebuild the engines in our dorm room and then he would sell the cars. My first Porsche was a 1957 Porsche 356A coupe I bought after graduating from Texas A & M and going to work in Pennsylvania. I loved driving the car on the curvy mountainous roads in Latrobe State Park. I traded it in on a 914 in 1971 in Houston, Texas. The 914 was fun to drive, but I really wanted a 912. I decided to buy a 912 because I could perform any repairs that might be needed on a Porsche 4-cylinder engine. The early 911 six-cylinder engines were notorious for swallowing the valves, resulting in $4,000 repair bills. The 912's had better front-to-back weight distribution and balance because of the lighter weight of the engine. This helped to make up for the lower horsepower compared to the 911's. The superior balance of the 912 also reduced the oversteer on sharp cornering caused by the engine being outboard of the rear axle. I chose the 1969 Porsche 912 because it was the final year of production, and I wanted the latest four-cylinder engine version. The Bahama Yellow color was chosen by Porsche for many of the advertisements in 1969 because it made the sleek body design really stand out. The 1969 edition of the Porsche 911-912 in the Bahama Yellow color is still being used to show a cool vehicle in advertisements in 2025. See a couple of examples of these in the file. I bought this particular Porsche 912 because I knew that Beto had taken meticulous care of it, and the car still looked and drove like new when I bought it. This Porsche 912 was unusual because the tan color upholstery lit up the interior with the Bahama Yellow exterior. Most of the 911's and 912's of that era had black interiors. I participated in several rallies and auto cross events sponsored by the PCA Lone Star Region in the 1970's. The car was my daily driver into the 1980's. During the 1970's, I drove the Porsche 912 to Colorado and Yellowstone Park during the Memorial Day holiday over several consecutive years so I could enjoy driving it on curvy mountain roads. In 1984, we decided that since my daughter was born in 1969, the car should be hers when she turned 16. The engine was sitting in our garage waiting for a new generator to be installed. When she was 15, we put the engine on a makeshift work bench consisting of an old door on two sawhorses. Following my instructions and using my tools, she removed the fan housing and heads. I took the heads to have a valve job performed and inspected the cylinders and jugs. She re-installed the heads, installed the new generator, re-installed the fan housing, etc. and had the car ready to start on the morning of her sixteenth birthday. The look on her face that morning when the engine roared to life was worth a million dollars. She drove the car throughout high school and for several more years while earning a bachelor's degree in architecture at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. My daughter begrudgingly allowed me to take the car back in the mid 1990's and I have driven it 500 to 1,500 miles per year since then to lunches, the golf course, family gatherings, and other events when the weather was nice. Every moving part under the car – tie rod ends, ball joints, torsion bar bushings, engine / transaxle supports, clutch cable, parking brake cable, rubber boots on various cables, brake pads, etc. were replaced during 2017-2018. The car has been driven about 5,000 miles since then. The car has always been garaged in Houston, Texas except for road trips during the summer. It has never been exposed to icy roads that were treated with salt. MAINTENANCE HISTORY During the 1970's and early 1980's, the car received regular maintenance by Norman Scott Porsche, Don McGill Porsche (now Porsche West Houston) and me. I did most of the oil changes, plugs, points, condenser, and valve adjustments. Anything more complicated than that was done by a professional garage, usually the dealer. In 1969, the 912 came equipped with Solex carburetors that were augmented by an air pump and other troublesome pollution control devices. About 1975 or so, I swapped them out for the more reliable Weber carburetors to provide better stability and more power. Almost everything that moves on the car has a replaceable bushing. At 50,000 miles, sometime in the early 1980's, the disk brake pads, tie rod ends, ball joints and shocks were replaced. Replacing worn bushings and other suspension parts restored the driving experience back to a like new condition. In 1988, the engine was removed and overhauled. The crankshaft was magnafluxed and determined to be in good condition. New 1,800 cc cylinders and pistons were installed, and the heads received a valve job. New Weber carburetors were also installed, and the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing were replaced. At about 20 to 25 years old, many of the plastic and rubber parts began to get stiff, crack, and otherwise deteriorate. This included decorative items and functional items like clutch cable guides. These were routinely replaced with new parts as it became necessary to maintain appearance and functionality. By replacing deteriorated parts and they wore, the car has been maintained for over 50 years. A major restoration was never necessary because of correctly performed preventative maintenance. In 1992 or 1993 I took the car to a company named International Body and had them repaint the vehicle with Sherwin-Williams SunFire premium polyurethane clearcoat system. I also had the same premium clearcoat applied to the mag wheels. It really made them shine. Substantial maintenance was performed by F2 Motorwerks in Houston in 2005. In addition to a tune up and oil change, the gear shift mechanism and disk brake calipers were overhauled, and any oil seepage repaired. F2's upholstery specialist was able to find the exact same material in the same color and pattern used to upholster the seats and doors when the car was new. The worn materials were replaced, and the driver's side seat frame was weld repaired to restore its original upright position. In 2016, F2 performed another tune up and oil change. I did the oil changes and tune ups in my garage from 2006 to 2015. They also installed new transaxle mounts, new hood and trunk shock supports, a new reverse light switch on the gear shift mechanism and adjusted and lubricated the gear shift mechanism. In 2018, I was informed about STR Motorsport, USA, Inc. The company operated a garage in northwest Houston that specialized in Porsche 912's. I took the car to them, evaluated their facility, and assigned them multiple repair and upgrade tasks. These tasks included: remove the engine, install a new clutch kit consisting of throw-out bearing, clutch plate, and pressure place; install new exhaust gaskets; machine the pressure plate; install new front and rear crankshaft seals; install new bushings on the ends of the front and rear torsion bars; install new strut inserts and rear shock absorbers; disassemble and clean all the engine parts including the outside of engine case, cylinders, and heads; install new oil cooler; install new muffler; and numerous other minor repairs such as replacing 50 year old parts like all flexible fuel lines, removing and lubricating all cables, and servicing the air conditioner, repairing the original Blaupunkt radio, etc. Details are available in the accompanying dossier. The owner of STR Motorsport was a manager at an international air freight shipping operation. He closed the shop when he was transferred to Salt Lake City in 2019, so I went back to F2 Motorwerks. In 2020, F2 performed a tune up and oil change. The original 1969 serpentine air conditioning condenser was removed and replaced with a new technology Vintage SuperFlow parallel flow condenser and a 12” electric fan to enhance the condensing of the freon. New hoses and new electrical controls were installed. The evaporator was removed, cleaned and the expansion valve was replaced with a new R134a refrigerant valve. The system was flushed, and the refrigerant was changed from the original Freon 12 to R134a. Having worked my way through a couple years of engineering college designing air conditioning systems for commercial buildings, I re-designed the original A/C system and selected the parts for the upgraded system for my Porsche. For the first time in 50 years, the air conditioner cooled in traffic at low engine speeds like it was supposed to. I evaluated the A/C upgrade kits that were commercially available, and it appeared they all continued to use the 1960's era serpentine condensers. This ignored the point that the basic flaw of the original A/C system was failure to condense the freon at low air flow during slow engine and vehicle speeds, especially in stop and go traffic. The new fan installed on the air conditioning condenser required 6.5 amps. By replacing the incandescent headlights with new LED headlights, the load on the generator from the headlights was reduced from 12 amps to 4 amps. This kept the original Bosch generator operating within specifications when the air conditioner was operating at full blast with the headlights on. Changing the headlights eliminated the need to convert to an aftermarket alternator for electrical power. While at F2 Metrowerks in 2020, the right rear axle, complete with new CV joints, was replaced. Also in 2020, the clutch cable, including all the guides, connections, and boots was replaced. The windshield reservoir, motor, tubes, etc. were replaced to restore proper operating function of the windshield cleaning system. In 2021, a new battery was installed and a new sound system consisting of a Kenwood Bluetooth amplifier with four Kenwood speakers was installed. This enabled music, or anything else from an iPhone to be played while driving. Also in 2021, Einar's Garage became the main repair shop used for maintaining the Porsche 912. F2 Motorwerks specializes in BMW's, but has a lot of experience with Porsche. They were very good with anything Bosch. Einar specialized exclusively in Porsche. Einar has a technician with a lot of expertise in carbureted Porsche engines. After 40 plus years of concentrating on fuel injection, finding someone who could properly tune carburetors has become increasingly difficult. One of the technicians who had worked at STR Motorsport also was available through Einar's Garage. In 2021, Einar's Garage installed a new fuel pump, tuned carburetors, changed oil & filter, adjusted valves, installed new A/C parts, installed new engine sound insulation, new front hood and trunk struts, inspected the suspension work performed by STR Motorsports, and sent the original Blaupunkt radio to a specialist for repairs. New tires were installed in 2022. In 2023, Einar's Garage replaced the fan/ generator belt and the A/C Belt, changed the oil, spark plugs, and generally tuned up the engine, replaced the oil pressure sensor, adjusted the clutch pedal, and replaced the rubber boots on the accelerator cable, the shift rod, and the speedometer. They also disassembled the driver's side door and installed a new door check stop, window felt, and window channels. They lubricated and adjusted the window regulator. This work was to make the window easier to roll up and down. The repairs and upgrades to the Porsche 912 from 2018 to 2023 totaled about $19,000. The car was immaculate and looked and drove like it just came out of the showroom. In February 2023, a fault in the 54-year-old wiring in the engine compartment caused a minor fire. Einar removed the engine and transmission, determined that no damage had been done to the housing/block, cylinders, pistons, heads or other critical components. Five new wiring harnesses were installed to replace all the wiring in the car. Memorial Collision bead blasted the engine bay, replaced the engine lid, grill, and the rear window and repainted the entire car with a premium polyurethane clearcoat system to match. With that new paint system, the car looked new and will stay that way for many years with very minimum maintenance. Einar installed a new generator, new carburetors, new distributor, additional components and calibrated. F2's automotive air conditioning specialists installed a new compressor, new Vintage SuperFlow condenser, new condenser fan, hoses, fitting, and electrical harnesses. The car performs exceptionally well and is by far the most mechanically dialed, comfortable, and summer weather ready 912 we have experienced. 1969 Porsche 912 Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

My daughter begrudgingly allowed me to take the car back in the mid 1990's and I have driven it 500 to 1,500 miles per year since then to lunches, the golf course, family gatherings, and other events when the weather was nice. Every moving part under the car – tie rod ends, ball joints, torsion bar bushings, engine / transaxle supports, clutch cable, parking brake cable, rubber boots on various cables, brake pads, etc. were replaced during 2017-2018. The car has been driven about 5,000 miles since then. The car has always been garaged in Houston, Texas except for road trips during the summer. It has never been exposed to icy roads that were treated with salt. MAINTENANCE HISTORY During the 1970's and early 1980's, the car received regular maintenance by Norman Scott Porsche, Don McGill Porsche (now Porsche West Houston) and me. I did most of the oil changes, plugs, points, condenser, and valve adjustments. Anything more complicated than that was done by a professional garage, usually the dealer. In 1969, the 912 came equipped with Solex carburetors that were augmented by an air pump and other troublesome pollution control devices. About 1975 or so, I swapped them out for the more reliable Weber carburetors to provide better stability and more power. Almost everything that moves on the car has a replaceable bushing. At 50,000 miles, sometime in the early 1980's, the disk brake pads, tie rod ends, ball joints and shocks were replaced. Replacing worn bushings and other suspension parts restored the driving experience back to a like new condition. In 1988, the engine was removed and overhauled. The crankshaft was magnafluxed and determined to be in good condition. New 1,800 cc cylinders and pistons were installed, and the heads received a valve job. New Weber carburetors were also installed, and the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing were replaced. At about 20 to 25 years old, many of the plastic and rubber parts began to get stiff, crack, and otherwise deteriorate. This included decorative items and functional items like clutch cable guides. These were routinely replaced with new parts as it became necessary to maintain appearance and functionality. By replacing deteriorated parts and they wore, the car has been maintained for over 50 years. A major restoration was never necessary because of correctly performed preventative maintenance. In 1992 or 1993 I took the car to a company named International Body and had them repaint the vehicle with Sherwin-Williams SunFire premium polyurethane clearcoat system. I also had the same premium clearcoat applied to the mag wheels. It really made them shine. Substantial maintenance was performed by F2 Motorwerks in Houston in 2005. In addition to a tune up and oil change, the gear shift mechanism and disk brake calipers were overhauled, and any oil seepage repaired. F2's upholstery specialist was able to find the exact same material in the same color and pattern used to upholster the seats and doors when the car was new. The worn materials were replaced, and the driver's side seat frame was weld repaired to restore its original upright position. In 2016, F2 performed another tune up and oil change. I did the oil changes and tune ups in my garage from 2006 to 2015. They also installed new transaxle mounts, new hood and trunk shock supports, a new reverse light switch on the gear shift mechanism and adjusted and lubricated the gear shift mechanism. In 2018, I was informed about STR Motorsport, USA, Inc. The company operated a garage in northwest Houston that specialized in Porsche 912's. I took the car to them, evaluated their facility, and assigned them multiple repair and upgrade tasks. These tasks included: remove the engine, install a new clutch kit consisting of throw-out bearing, clutch plate, and pressure place; install new exhaust gaskets; machine the pressure plate; install new front and rear crankshaft seals; install new bushings on the ends of the front and rear torsion bars; install new strut inserts and rear shock absorbers; disassemble and clean all the engine parts including the outside of engine case, cylinders, and heads; install new oil cooler; install new muffler; and numerous other minor repairs such as replacing 50 year old parts like all flexible fuel lines, removing and lubricating all cables, and servicing the air conditioner, repairing the original Blaupunkt radio, etc. Details are available in the accompanying dossier. The owner of STR Motorsport was a manager at an international air freight shipping operation. He closed the shop when he was transferred to Salt Lake City in 2019, so I went back to F2 Motorwerks. In 2020, F2 performed a tune up and oil change. The original 1969 serpentine air conditioning condenser was removed and replaced with a new technology Vintage SuperFlow parallel flow condenser and a 12” electric fan to enhance the condensing of the freon. New hoses and new electrical controls were installed. The evaporator was removed, cleaned and the expansion valve was replaced with a new R134a refrigerant valve. The system was flushed, and the refrigerant was changed from the original Freon 12 to R134a. Having worked my way through a couple years of engineering college designing air conditioning systems for commercial buildings, I re-designed the original A/C system and selected the parts for the upgraded system for my Porsche. For the first time in 50 years, the air conditioner cooled in traffic at low engine speeds like it was supposed to. I evaluated the A/C upgrade kits that were commercially available, and it appeared they all continued to use the 1960's era serpentine condensers. This ignored the point that the basic flaw of the original A/C system was failure to condense the freon at low air flow during slow engine and vehicle speeds, especially in stop and go traffic. The new fan installed on the air conditioning condenser required 6.5 amps. By replacing the incandescent headlights with new LED headlights, the load on the generator from the headlights was reduced from 12 amps to 4 amps. This kept the original Bosch generator operating within specifications when the air conditioner was operating at full blast with the headlights on. Changing the headlights eliminated the need to convert to an aftermarket alternator for electrical power. While at F2 Metrowerks in 2020, the right rear axle, complete with new CV joints, was replaced. Also in 2020, the clutch cable, including all the guides, connections, and boots was replaced. The windshield reservoir, motor, tubes, etc. were replaced to restore proper operating function of the windshield cleaning system. In 2021, a new battery was installed and a new sound system consisting of a Kenwood Bluetooth amplifier with four Kenwood speakers was installed. This enabled music, or anything else from an iPhone to be played while driving. Also in 2021, Einar's Garage became the main repair shop used for maintaining the Porsche 912. F2 Motorwerks specializes in BMW's, but has a lot of experience with Porsche. They were very good with anything Bosch. Einar specialized exclusively in Porsche. Einar has a technician with a lot of expertise in carbureted Porsche engines. After 40 plus years of concentrating on fuel injection, finding someone who could properly tune carburetors has become increasingly difficult. One of the technicians who had worked at STR Motorsport also was available through Einar's Garage. In 2021, Einar's Garage installed a new fuel pump, tuned carburetors, changed oil & filter, adjusted valves, installed new A/C parts, installed new engine sound insulation, new front hood and trunk struts, inspected the suspension work performed by STR Motorsports, and sent the original Blaupunkt radio to a specialist for repairs. New tires were installed in 2022. In 2023, Einar's Garage replaced the fan/ generator belt and the A/C Belt, changed the oil, spark plugs, and generally tuned up the engine, replaced the oil pressure sensor, adjusted the clutch pedal, and replaced the rubber boots on the accelerator cable, the shift rod, and the speedometer. They also disassembled the driver's side door and installed a new door check stop, window felt, and window channels. They lubricated and adjusted the window regulator. This work was to make the window easier to roll up and down. The repairs and upgrades to the Porsche 912 from 2018 to 2023 totaled about $19,000. The car was immaculate and looked and drove like it just came out of the showroom. In February 2023, a fault in the 54-year-old wiring in the engine compartment caused a minor fire. Einar removed the engine and transmission, determined that no damage had been done to the housing/block, cylinders, pistons, heads or other critical components. Five new wiring harnesses were installed to replace all the wiring in the car. Memorial Collision bead blasted the engine bay, replaced the engine lid, grill, and the rear window and repainted the entire car with a premium polyurethane clearcoat system to match. With that new paint system, the car looked new and will stay that way for many years with very minimum maintenance. Einar installed a new generator, new carburetors, new distributor, additional components and calibrated. F2's automotive air conditioning specialists installed a new compressor, new Vintage SuperFlow condenser, new condenser fan, hoses, fitting, and electrical harnesses. The car performs exceptionally well and is by far the most mechanically dialed, comfortable, and summer weather ready 912 we have experienced.

- 1980-porsche-911-30-sc
Some cars need no introduction. This 1979 Porsche 911 3.0 Targa speaks for itself — and it does so with a wonderfully raw, air-cooled voice. With its distinctive whirr of the air-cooled flat-six and the iconic Targa roof, this is and always will be a joy to drive. The 911 SC (Super Carrera) marked an important chapter for Porsche: stronger, more reliable, and — thanks to its galvanized chassis — finally better protected against rust. Combine that with the timeless G-series design, and you’ve got the perfect 911 for those who prefer driving over polishing. Roof off, key turned. Endless summer evenings where the journey matters more than the destination. And then there’s this particular example: straight from Bari, southern Italy — an Italian at heart and soul. Registered in Milan in 1980 and lovingly maintained for years, as evidenced by the original service stamps and registration booklet. Finished in its original 908 Grand Prix White. True to its passionate Italian nature, the engine gave its final breath after many loyal years. So it was time for new fire: a fully rebuilt engine brought this Targa back to life a few years ago, ready for its next chapter. Service history by Rose Passion, the Porsche specialist.

- 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
This 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and has been under the care of just 3 owners from new. Showing 154,411 km, this car has been kept in outstanding overall condition and is equipped with a number of desirable options. Produced in October of 1990 as a German market car, this car was delivered to its first owner on December 12th 1990. The dark Midnight Blue Metallic paint is paired with a special order dark blue fabric soft top, which remains in exceptional shape and even has a crystal clear plastic rear window- a rarity in cars of this era. With many 964s receiving countless modifications over the past 30 years, this car on its original Design 90 wheels is a refreshing view of what an original 964 would have looked like in period. The interior of the car is wrapped in Fashion Gray with leather covering the seats, shift boot, and lower door cards. The interior is in remarkable condition, and in this example, the front seats are fitted with power adjustment and seat heating. Although the exterior of the car is largely original, a few modifications have been carried out inside the car to improve the experience- the standard 4-spoke steering wheel has been swapped out for one of the most common Porsche upgrades, a Momo Prototipo. Additionally, the stereo has been changed out for a modern Blaupunkt Bremen head unit, which looks period correct but gives the 964 Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities. Sitting behind the passengers is a 3.6 liter naturally aspirated flat 6, rated at 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. Although that doesn’t sound like much in modern terms, it was enough to propel the 964 from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 160 mph. This is then run through a 5-speed manual transaxle with power sent to all four wheels. This was the first Porsche outside of the 959 hypercar to be fitted with all-wheel drive, which made the car exceptionally surefooted in any weather but still gave a classic sports car experience thanks to the 31/69 front/rear power split. One of the largest changes on the 964 was the introduction of coil springs instead of the torsion bars that were fitted to all previous 911s. Using MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms in the rear, the 964 offered more tunability and far more predictable handling at the limit. With its classic looks and driving experience, paired with some modern refinement, it is no surprise that the 964 has become one of the most sought-after 911s in the collector car world. This example presents in outstanding condition and would be a perfect companion for top down summer enjoyment, but would be just as at home on a trip up to the mountains to go skiing. 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1984-renault-5-maxi-turbo
An historically significant car, long regarded as a cornerstone of the British Maxi Turbo story. The only genuine ‘Works’ Maxi privately campaigned in the UK in period. Developed during the height of Group B’s technical arms race, the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo remains one of the most evocative and uncompromising rally cars of the 1980s. This example — chassis number #201, also known as car number 16 — was developed by John Price and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the British Maxi Turbo story. To meet homologation requirements, just 20 works Renault 5 Maxi Turbos were constructed in 1985. Of these, 12 were retained for active competition, while the remainder were dismantled to support the works rally programme. John Price, a frequent visitor to Renault Sport Dieppe, was often captivated by the Maxis and had long hoped to acquire one. In 1986, he was offered the choice of the last six cars on stands, and selected chassis #201 (Car 16), which arrived without engine, gearbox, or suspension. Over the next two years, he assembled a suitable engine — a 1527cc unit producing around 340bhp, combining elements of the TDC and Maxi5 Turbo engines but avoiding the complexity of the DPV system and stepper-motor-driven Bosch fuel injection. A Maxi Turbo magnesium-alloy gearbox with works rally ratios was fitted, while suspension and ancillary parts were sourced through Price’s contacts at Dieppe. The car retained its original aluminium roll cage, fabricated in 1985 by German specialists Matter, each component stamped #20 1985 Matter. Once completed, the car debuted competitively at the West Cork Rally in March 1988, finishing 3rd overall. That season included strong results at the Circuit of Kerry, Burmah Rallysprint, Manx National, and Wexford, with retirement at the Rally of the Lakes due to gearbox issues. The 1989 season saw further podium finishes, though John soon shifted focus to the four-wheel-drive Metro 6R4, and the Maxi was laid up. Over the following decades, the car passed through private collectors, with Price reacquiring it at various points. Its complete ownership history is documented in a signed ‘Story of EXI 1465’, which will be available to view at the auction or sent to interested parties. In more recent times, EXI 1465 was invited to Renault’s Dunsfold facility, where it was digitally recorded for a Sony PlayStation rally title, and later served as a course car for the 2010 Tour of Epynt. It was subsequently driven at La Vie en Bleu at Prescott, where Price secured class honours in 2011, marking his final public outing in car #16. Mechanically, the car remains pretty much as it was at Prescott, with minor updates including slightly larger brake discs. It retains its genuine, factory body-shell, with original Kevlar, carbon-fibre, and aluminium panels preserved. The engine is a John Price Rallying 1527cc Maxi unit with Garratt T3 turbocharger, large-valve cylinder head, Bosch K-Tronic mechanical fuel injection, dry sump with remote oil cooler and intercooler, producing around 340bhp at 6,500rpm. The car is fitted with the factory Maxi magnesium-alloy gearbox, factory rally ratio gear-set, Maxi steering rack, Maxi brake discs, front steel suspension, Tour de Course rear alloy suspension uprights, and the original Matter aluminium roll cage. In early 2013, the car was sold to new custodians who refinished it in John Price’s iconic 1988 rally livery, faithfully recreating one of the most recognisable British Maxi Turbo colour schemes. The current seller acquired the car in 2017, and in 2018 it was again recorded at Nicholson McLaren Engines for a second Sony PlayStation title, reportedly run to full load on the dynamometer. Today, the car remains finished in its striking, hand-painted 1988 livery and sits on white genuine Maxi multi-spoke alloy wheels, shod with Michelin tyres and complemented by red mud flaps. The cockpit retains its unmistakable period atmosphere, featuring the original stamped Matter aluminium alloy roll cage. Due to the presence of this original cage, the car is no longer eligible for modern competition use. Instead, it stands as an exceptionally important collector piece — a tangible link to the golden era of British rallying and a rare example of a works-derived Maxi Turbo with continuous period association. Of course, all dimensions are available, so a FIA steel roll-cage would be relatively simple to have fabricated and fitted as John actually did for the 2011 Vie en Bleu outing. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive ‘Story of EXI 1465’ document, containing period photographs, results and supporting material that chart its development, competition history and long-term custodianship. This document was signed by the late John Price and his son Steve. The most recent full service was carried out in 2023 by Welch Motorsport, including replacement of the oil pump, with prior servicing completed by Intersport Racing in 2020. EXI 1465 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a defining artefact from rallying’s most fearless decade. Closely associated with John Price and offered in his iconic 1988 livery, it occupies a significant place in the history of the British rally scene and stands as a centrepiece-worthy addition to any serious motorsport collection. 1984 Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 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 An historically significant car, long regarded as a cornerstone of the British Maxi Turbo story. The only genuine ‘Works’ Maxi privately campaigned in the UK in period. Developed during the height of Group B’s technical arms race, the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo remains one of the most evocative and uncompromising rally cars of the 1980s. This example — chassis number #201, also known as car number 16 — was developed by John Price and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the British Maxi Turbo story. To meet homologation requirements, just 20 works Renault 5 Maxi Turbos were constructed in 1985. Of these, 12 were retained for active competition, while the remainder were dismantled to support the works rally programme. John Price, a frequent visitor to Renault Sport Dieppe, was often captivated by the Maxis and had long hoped to acquire one. In 1986, he was offered the choice of the last six cars on stands, and selected chassis #201 (Car 16), which arrived without engine, gearbox, or suspension. Over the next two years, he assembled a suitable engine — a 1527cc unit producing around 340bhp, combining elements of the TDC and Maxi5 Turbo engines but avoiding the complexity of the DPV system and stepper-motor-driven Bosch fuel injection. A Maxi Turbo magnesium-alloy gearbox with works rally ratios was fitted, while suspension and ancillary parts were sourced through Price’s contacts at Dieppe. The car retained its original aluminium roll cage, fabricated in 1985 by German specialists Matter, each component stamped #20 1985 Matter. Once completed, the car debuted competitively at the West Cork Rally in March 1988, finishing 3rd overall. That season included strong results at the Circuit of Kerry, Burmah Rallysprint, Manx National, and Wexford, with retirement at the Rally of the Lakes due to gearbox issues. The 1989 season saw further podium finishes, though John soon shifted focus to the four-wheel-drive Metro 6R4, and the Maxi was laid up. Over the following decades, the car passed through private collectors, with Price reacquiring it at various points. Its complete ownership history is documented in a signed ‘Story of EXI 1465’, which will be available to view at the auction or sent to interested parties.

- 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
The stunning Sprint Speciale coupé directly descended from Carrozzeria Bertone’s brilliant Bertone Aerodynamica Technica (BAT) design studies of the mid-1950s. With its extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29, it was aimed at competition, and a limited number were produced to meet FIA homologation rules. The Speciale utilised lightweight construction that had been built on the chassis of the popular Giulietta Spider, and it came with a domed roofline and gracefully peaked wings. The Giulietta’s sturdy 1300cc, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine was fitted with a pair of Weber sidedraught carburettors, and it could produce a healthy 116 hp. This was enough power to push the slippery two-seater to almost 125 mph, considerably faster than its conventionally bodied Giulietta Sprint coupé and spider siblings. The 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale offered here at Autostorico is built to FIA specification and finished in Alfa Rosso Red with Red interior. The car remained in Italy until it was sold to its current owner who had been searching for an original car that had never corroded, given that it had lived its entire life in a dry climate. The car has been maintained to the highest possible standard and has been used sparingly by its current owner, who has decided to sell the car due to ill health. A perfect opportunity to own one of the prettiest 60s Coupe’s, which will certainly appreciate further over time. 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1971-ferrari-365-gtb4-daytona-spider-by-scaglietti
Completed by the factory in late 1971, chassis number 15007 falls approximately midway through Ferrari’s production run of the vaunted 365 GTB/4 Spider. A model originally envisioned and designed for the American market, this is where this particular car would be destined, finished in Rosso Chiaro (20-R-190) over a Nero (VM 8500) Connolly interior with red seat inserts. The car was earmarked for delivery to William F. Harrah’s Ferrari distributorship, Modern Classic Motors of Reno, Nevada, and arrived there sporting Italian EE (Escursionisti Esteri) tourist delivery plates in April 1972 according to a report compiled by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. Rather than being delivered to its first owner immediately upon delivery, the Daytona Spider was shown by Modern Classic Motors at the 1972 Los Angeles Auto Show in May 1972. Subsequently, it was sold to its first owner, Robert Ferrard of Los Angeles that same year. Three years later, the car was sold to Warner Brothers Pictures by Harley Cluxton III’s Grand Touring Cars of Phoenix, Arizona, in October 1975, showing 19,863 miles on its odometer at the time of sale. Warner Brothers released two films in 1976 that this car is believed to have had a starring role in: A Star is Born and The Gumball Rally. Both films featured a red Daytona Spider, with the car in A Star is Born fitted with a black interior and seats with headrests, and The Gumball Rally car sporting a beige interior with early-style Daytona seats without headrests. It is known that another Daytona Spider was used in the filming of The Gumball Rally (chassis number 14829) whilst another car was also used in the filming of A Star is Born, however this car’s identity remains unknown. Presently, this car is outfitted with a beige interior, as it would have appeared in The Gumball Rally. After leaving Warner Brothers, the Daytona Spider passed through a handful of subsequent California owners in the 1970s and early 1980s before being purchased by Robert D. Toney, a teacher of construction at Merced College in Merced, California. At the time of his purchase, the car was noted as being fitted with a tan interior with black Daytona seat inserts, as it would have appeared in The Gumball Rally. Toney was a longtime member of the Ferrari Club of America and a regular attendee of club events until his passing in 2002. Despite this, Toney only showed his Daytona Spider twice; first at the Ferrari Club of America Annual Meet at Monterey in 1994, and again at the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance in 1997. Toney passed away in 2002 but the car would be kept by his family until 2017, at which point it was consigned to RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction. At that point, the car was sold to a well-known collector based in the United Kingdom. That same year, the car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that the car retains its original chassis, engine, and bodywork, and is fitted with a replacement gearbox of the correct type. In 2018, the car received a full service at Joe Macari in London which also included adding a number of upgrades for overall drivability, including an upgraded aluminum radiator, suspension, sports exhaust, starter motor, and alternator, along with new Avon tires. This work totaled £48,019.68 and the invoices for this work can be found in the car’s history file. Later, the car would receive a professional repaint from Charles Pozzi, the official Ferrari distributor in Paris, France. Remaining in Europe until 2024, upon its purchase by the consignor, the car was repatriated to the United States shortly thereafter. Boasting a fascinating story involving thirty-four years of single ownership following ownership and usage by Warner Brothers in two highly memorable movies of the mid-1970s, this is a fabulous Daytona Spider that would be an exciting addition to any collection. 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1957-jensen-541
The Jensen 541 was one of the first British cars to feature a fiberglass body, resting on a steel chassis, which initially gave it a very light weight. The weight of its original mechanics, a 4.0-liter inline-6 engine from Austin, combined with the enormous gearbox, made the Jensen a heavy car, with good poise on fast roads, but lacking agility on twisty roads, a handicap for those looking to compete with it. Therefore, a common modification at the time for those looking to reduce weight was to replace the mechanics with those of a Jaguar XJ6, much lighter and more reliable than the original powertrain. Our unit is equipped with this engine, and with a power output close to 200 hp, it will delight anyone looking for a fast and different classic. 1957 Jensen 541 Auto Storica If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
