  • 1965 Aston Martin DB5 1

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

  • 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

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

The integrity of the restoration given to the upper surfaces is reflected diligently in the underside including the complete set of rare belly pans, often lost or misplaced simply due to the passage of time. All suspension and engine components have been restored to a high standard using correct finishes and fasteners consistent with the era. The chassis integrity supports the known history from new with decades of California ownership spanning the majority of the life of this fine Gullwing. This Gullwing comes with a set of fitted luggage (likely original to this car), a pivot type steering wheel, a set of four reproduction Rudge wheels and a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Owner’s Manual, Also included with the sale are nine large three-ring binders documenting the restoration and mechanical services performed while under the past 25 years of current ownership, as well as copies of handwritten correspondences from Scott Grundfor documenting the car, the terms of purchase, and the history of this Gullwing. One of the most advanced sports cars available when new, the 300SL Gullwing was brimming with innovative features, many of which remain today as hallmarks of superlative automotive engineering. Sporty, elegant, and exclusive, just 70 examples were built in 1957, the final year of production. Ongoing appreciation from astute enthusiasts has continued to grow due to the timeless beauty, exceptional build quality, and rarity of the incomparable Gullwing. Whether a defining centerpiece to a world class collection, or a singular example of excellence for a vintage enthusiast, this 300 SL Gullwing will prominently convey all the majesty of this premier brand as a sporting testimonial to the Mercedes-Benz legacy. Ready for enjoyable driving, events, or fun excursions, just as originally intended, the care and mechanical attention dedicated to this 300SL Gullwing will always retain its vaulted status as one of the most desirable sports cars of the 20th century.

  • 1971 Maserati Ghibli

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

  • 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider by Scaglietti

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

The California Spider found an appreciative home when it was acquired in late 1975 by George Heiser of Seattle, Washington. Mr. Heiser sought to locate the matching-numbers motor, which had been separated from the car several years earlier, and in 1979 he acquired the 250 GT Boano that was fitted with engine number 1217 GT, which was removed and returned to its rightful home in the California Spider. After diligently maintaining the Ferrari for about a dozen years, and after watching the price appreciate from around $10,000 in 1975 to over $500,000 by 1987, Mr. Heiser decided to sell the Spider. Over the next six years the 250 GT was preserved in a noted collection in Sweden, sitting alongside a 250 GTO and several other California Spiders. By 1993 the car was acquired by the respected collector John Mozart of Palo Alto, California, and he commissioned a significant restoration by the marque experts at Phil Reilly & Company. At this time the Ferrari was cosmetically refreshed in its original color scheme, and disc brakes were installed for improved mechanical performance. In 1994 the California Spider was sold to Fred and Ramona Bohlander of Monterey, California, and they presented the beautiful car at the FCA International Concours in Monterey that August. Ten years later the 250 GT was sold into the famous Matsuda collection, and during its brief time in Japan the car was featured in the February 2005 issue of the magazine Scuderia. In August 2005 the Ferrari was offered at RM Auctions’ flagship Monterey sale, where it was acquired by the current owner. The California has since enjoyed 19 years of careful, climate-controlled storage, helping to ensure the car remains in authentic and sparingly used condition. It is worth reiterating that 1217 GT retains its numbers-matching V-12 engine, greatly enriching the car’s authenticity. It should be noted that the car is currently fitted with a gearbox stamped with internal number 238 DR, which is believed to be from another 250 GT, as well as what is believed to be the original rear axle; however, due to the location of the stamping only the final two digits are still visible. Furthermore, the Ferrari was depicted in two authoritative books on the subject, George Carrick’s highly respected The Spyder California, and Stanley Nowak’s Ferrari on the Road. The Spider is fitted with two notable interior appointments that were installed very early in its life, a passenger hand-brace, and an unusual, upholstered shield pad just aft of the shifter that was probably intended as a footrest for small children. Formerly a part of several of the world’s most prominent Ferrari collections, 1217 GT is ready to show, or a strong candidate for a more thorough freshening. This California Spider is a beautifully maintained and faithfully presented example of Maranello’s legendary blue-chip model. It would undoubtedly elevate any collection.

  • 1964 Iso Rivolta A3/C Sanction II

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

  • 1989-porsche-911-speedster-32l

    Few modern classics embody the essence of Porsche’s heritage as purely as the 911 Speedster. Built as a tribute to the 356 Speedster of the 1950s, the 1989 911 3.2 Speedster marked the end of an era — the last open-top 911 to feature the iconic G-series body and air-cooled flat-six engine. Produced for just one year, only 2,102 examples left the factory, of which 822 were destined for the US market. Chassis WP0ZZZ91ZKS173470 was delivered new in July 1989 by Porsche Inglewood, California, and first registered in September 1989. It retains its original matching-numbers 3.2-litre engine (type 930/25) developing 214 hp, paired with the sought-after G50 five-speed manual transmission. The car was imported to Belgium in the early 1990s and officially converted to European specifications, with a certificate of conformity and individual approval issued by D’Ieteren, Porsche’s Belgian importer, in 1991. Finished in its original Silver Metallic (code 980) over a black leather interior, this Speedster has covered just 31,700 km from new. The paintwork is largely original, with only the rear body section refinished in its factory colour for cosmetic reasons. The car remains accident-free, with straight body panels, precise gaps, and clean underbody. It rides on original 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels in excellent condition, fitted with Continental tyres in good state. The interior is entirely original, featuring black leather seats, factory air conditioning, electric 8-way seats, and heated seats on both sides. A Blaupunkt Symphony radio and Porsche alarm system are also present. All instruments and electrical systems operate correctly. Mechanically, the car presents in excellent condition throughout. The flat-six runs cleanly, the G50 gearbox shifts precisely, and all braking and suspension components are well preserved. The engine compartment remains exceptionally clean, showing only light traces of use. The car comes with two original keys, original tools, and a complete service book. The current owner bought this Speedster 3.2L in 2016 and since then, has maintained it regularly with a last service done in October 2025 by a Porsche specialist. As one of just a handful of genuine, low-mileage 911 3.2 Speedsters finished in Silver Metallic and retaining its matching engine and gearbox, this example combines authenticity, rarity, and exceptional condition. 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster 3.2L AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Built as a tribute to the 356 Speedster of the 1950s, the 1989 911 3.2 Speedster marked the end of an era — the last open-top 911 to feature the iconic G-series body and air-cooled flat-six engine. Produced for just one year, only 2,102 examples left the factory, of which 822 were destined for the US market. Chassis WP0ZZZ91ZKS173470 was delivered new in July 1989 by Porsche Inglewood, California, and first registered in September 1989. It retains its original matching-numbers 3.2-litre engine (type 930/25) developing 214 hp, paired with the sought-after G50 five-speed manual transmission. The car was imported to Belgium in the early 1990s and officially converted to European specifications, with a certificate of conformity and individual approval issued by D’Ieteren, Porsche’s Belgian importer, in 1991. Finished in its original Silver Metallic (code 980) over a black leather interior, this Speedster has covered just 31,700 km from new. The paintwork is largely original, with only the rear body section refinished in its factory colour for cosmetic reasons. The car remains accident-free, with straight body panels, precise gaps, and clean underbody. It rides on original 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels in excellent condition, fitted with Continental tyres in good state. The interior is entirely original, featuring black leather seats, factory air conditioning, electric 8-way seats, and heated seats on both sides. A Blaupunkt Symphony radio and Porsche alarm system are also present. All instruments and electrical systems operate correctly. Mechanically, the car presents in excellent condition throughout. The flat-six runs cleanly, the G50 gearbox shifts precisely, and all braking and suspension components are well preserved. The engine compartment remains exceptionally clean, showing only light traces of use. The car comes with two original keys, original tools, and a complete service book. The current owner bought this Speedster 3.2L in 2016 and since then, has maintained it regularly with a last service done in October 2025 by a Porsche specialist. As one of just a handful of genuine, low-mileage 911 3.2 Speedsters finished in Silver Metallic and retaining its matching engine and gearbox, this example combines authenticity, rarity, and exceptional condition.

  • 1965 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 SII

    The 330 America was replaced by the 330 GT 2+2, which was unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show. It was equipped with the new 209-type 4-litre V12, featuring a slightly longer engine block than that of the 400 SA series from which it was derived. The 330 GT 2+2, which was produced in two series, owed its elegant lines to Pininfarina. The main difference was in the front end, with the first series (1963-1965) featuring four headlamps and the second (1965-1967) just two. In all, around 1,000 examples were built. Design The 330 GT 2+2 Coupé made its debut at Ferrari's annual pre-season press conference in January 1964 before being unveiled to the public at the Brussels Motor Show later that month. It was the heir to the 250 GTE 2+2, the last series of which produced 100 models known as the 330 America: identical to the 250 GTE with a 4-litre engine. Like its predecessor, this model took over the bodywork of the Pininfarina-designed 330 GT. It was slightly modified, however, and featured sloping twin headlights, with a 7-inch outer diameter and 5-inch inner diameter, reminiscent of the 400 Superamerica Superfast IV (chassis 2207SA). This gave the front end a somewhat American look, twin headlights being very fashionable across the Atlantic at the time. The overall lines of the body were softer and more rounded, with the exception of the angular headlamp units, and the rounded rear section made it possible to offer a larger boot with horizontal rectangular monobloc rear lights following the curves of the wings. The wheelbase was 50 mm longer than that of the previous model, and the interior was reworked to offer rear passengers more legroom and headroom, without sacrificing the comfort of the front seats. The Il series saw the bow modified in mid-1965. The double headlamps were replaced by single units, giving the front end a look very similar to that of the 275 GTS, which was produced at the same time. The Borrani spoke wheels (which had long been standard equipment on Ferraris) were replaced by 10-hole alloy wheels, still fitted with Rudge hubs, but still available as an option. On the front wings, the 14 slots of the 250 GTE were replaced by apertures, which were also used on the 275 GTS around the same time, while the front and rear bumpers were fitted with rubber-covered bumpers. The interior was also redesigned: the floor-mounted pedals were replaced by a suspended unit, a central console was installed between the transmission tunnel and the lower edge of the dashboard, and the layout of the controls and ventilation was modified. The bodies were mounted on a 2,650mm wheelbase chassis bearing chassis number 571 (Series 1), then chassis number 571/65 (Series II). All chassis were numbered according to the odd-numbered sequence of Ferrari road cars, between 4,963 and 7,533 for Series I and between 7,537 and 10,195 for Series II. The construction followed standard Ferrari practice at the time: large-diameter oval tubes with solid struts and substructures welded to the main frame to support the bodywork and ancillary equipment. This model was fitted with independent front suspension, a rigid rear axle with leaf springs and telescopic shock absorbers, four disc-brakes with separate front and rear hydraulic circuits and left or right-hand steering. Power steering was also offered as an option later in the production period. The engine The engine, a 4-litre V12, had a single overhead camshaft and was numbered 209, then 209/66. Its total displacement was 3,967 cc and its bore/stroke ratio was 77 x 71 mm. Spark plugs were located on the outside of the V and were accompanied by a row of three Weber 40 DCZ/6 or 40 DFI twin-barrel carburetors and a rear-mounted twin-coil distributor producing 300 bhp. Based on Colombo's original 'short block' design, this engine was slightly longer with slightly larger bore diameters to facilitate water flow. The difference in engine model type referred to the number of mounting points: four on the 209 and two on the 209/66, the latter being used from the 08729. The engine was coupled to a 4-speed synchromesh gearbox with an electronically controlled overdrive fifth gear on most l-series vehicles and to a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox on the latest l-series models and all lI-series models, with final drive provided by a driveshaft to the rigid rear axle. With the move from 4 to 5 speeds, the mechanical clutch control system has been replaced by a hydraulic system. The 330 GT 2+2 was produced from 1964 to 1967, before being replaced by the 365 GT 2+2. Over this period, 625 Series I and 474 Series II were produced, with sales exceeding those of the previous 250 GT 2+2 model over a similar production period. The 2+2 configuration proved very popular at the time. The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II represents an exceptional combination of inspired performance, sophisticated Italian design and understated luxury. A refinement of the original 330 GT presented in 1964, the Series II features elegant Pininfarina bodywork with two headlights (instead of the four of the previous model). The engine was the same, with each model equipped with the attractive 4.0-litre 'Columbo' V-12 developing 296 bhp, while the five-speed manual gearbox was a new feature. Only 474 Series IIs were produced between 1965 and 1967. Our car 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 SII #8175 Delivered new in Italy in January 1966 to Mr. PARODI, we find the car in the USA in the hands of its second owner, Mr. MACERI, at which time Borrani wire rims are fitted to the car. It was then sold to ATS of New England, and in 1992 the famous Italian collector Giuseppe PREVOSTI acquired it and brought it back to Europe. He kept the car in his famous collection for 16 years, taking the opportunity to have it restored by Sergio Rossi, a project that lasted 2 years. It was when part of the collection was sold by RM Auction in LONDON in 2007 that its 4th owner, Mr BOUZOULOUK, acquired it. The car was initially registered in England as FHJ 406D, before being sent to France with 154km on the clock since the end of its restoration and registered as 390RMC75 in 2009. The car will be used regularly by the latter and can be seen at numerous gatherings: The car is regularly serviced by Gilbert Tissier (Garage Super Sport). It was even the subject of a full report on Direct Auto, and was tested at length by François Allain, who had nothing but praise for it. The current owner acquired the car in 2018. Entrusted to the good care of the SUPERSPORT workshop in Paley, in addition to regular maintenance, it should be noted that the engine and gearbox were completely rebuilt in 2019 at 23400km. Even more recently, in April 2023 at 31639km, the entire braking system and shock absorbers were overhauled by Ets CAR in La Garenne Colombe. Perfectly maintained, still equipped with its original engine and gearbox and presented in this elegant color combo as it left the Maranello factory, this Ferrari 330GT 2+2 Series 2 will delight its owner for long journeys or weekend breaks. 1965 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 SII Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring

    This beautiful Alfa Romeo, completed in 1960, was probably delivered new in Italy but registered in the Canton Grisons already in June 1961. To match the engine power with the sporting appearance, many years ago a 140hp 2.3 litre Rio-engine with twin Weber DCOE carbs was installed. With considerably more power and torque the Touring Spider now presents a great car for Oldtimer rallies and excursions into the Swiss Alps. The Alfa was restored several years ago. Maintenance records from 2014 for around 35’000 francs are available. As one of only 3’443 examples built, this car is in good to very good and well-maintained condition. The last MOT was completed in May 2022. 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

To match the engine power with the sporting appearance, many years ago a 140hp 2.3 litre Rio-engine with twin Weber DCOE carbs was installed. With considerably more power and torque the Touring Spider now presents a great car for Oldtimer rallies and excursions into the Swiss Alps. The Alfa was restored several years ago. Maintenance records from 2014 for around 35’000 francs are available. As one of only 3’443 examples built, this car is in good to very good and well-maintained condition. The last MOT was completed in May 2022.

    History of the Ferrari 308 GTS Ferrari, always an innovator in engineering and design, elected to change sports car paradigms in 1975, when they ushered in the Pininfarina designed Ferrari 308. The all-new Ferrari debuted at the 1975 Paris Auto Show to enthusiastic acclaim. Ferrari delivered a refreshing approach via designer Leonardo Fioravanti, who had penned many of Ferrari's most celebrated cars including the Daytona, the Dino, and the Berlinetta Boxer. Within a short period of time, the 308 quickly became a feature of television shows, movies, and advertising posters, while shaping public opinion about what a sports car should look and feel like. Although initially limited to a fixed roof configuration, the GTS arrived in 1977, featuring a removable satin black roof panel, which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use. In 1980, the 308 was updated with fuel-injection which allowed for better emissions yet compromised performance with a loss of power, delivering only 202 hp on US models. Ferrari set about developing a solution to the output challenge in 1982 launching the Quattrovalvole. This four-valve per cylinder engine resulted in a 232 hp output without compromising emission requirements for the all-important US market. Exterior body changes were minor but important, including a new grille with rectangular driving lights, a longitudinal hood vent to aid in evacuating warm air, and rectangular front side marker lights. Limited in production, while blending the best of the early series 308 with a more potent engine, the 308 QV has since become more and more sought after by enthusiasts who seek a Ferrari that can be enjoyably driven on a more regular basis. History of this Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole GTS This beautifully preserved Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole GTS was assembled at the Ferrari factory in February 1983 and delivered for US sale to the dealership Valley Porsche Audi Ferrari in Spokane, WA. The Ferrari service booklet shows service stamps for portions of the history, supporting more than 20 years of California ownership by the former owner. The prior owner is believed to have been the third owner of the car, retaining several original ownership documents and service records. Invoices include a 2015 timing belt, tune up, clutch adjustment, and fluids at 20,022 miles. In February 2020, showing 20,120 miles, the car was serviced with a comprehensive overview, timing belt service, and the replacement of all major fuel hoses, gaskets, spark plugs, air and fuel filters, fluids, and other details serviced as needed totaling almost $7,000.00 as performed by Italian car specialist L. Buskirk Co., Novato, CA. The current owner purchased this car from Fantasy Junction in 2021 and has continued to maintain and service the car while accumulating an additional 3,000 miles during their four-year ownership. Under current ownership a new set of Bridgestone Potenza RW 71 RS 205/55 R16 front and 225/55 R16 rear tires were installed in July 2021, a Momo suede steering wheel was installed (original retained and included with the car), and a new Optima battery was installed in August 2024. Condition and Current Presentation Today, with just 23,178 miles indicated, this beautifully preserved Ferrari presents as a wonderful original example throughout. The original paint is in excellent condition with high luster and great gloss to the Rosso Corsa finish applied at the factory, confirmed by the 4-7 micron readings achieved when metering the body surfaces. Although some minor road chips are noted at the front of the car, the remainder of the body is in excellent condition throughout. The hood and trunk open and shut smoothly, displaying very nice fit with even panel gaps. Doors also open and shut without issue. The black trim remains in excellent condition with no major flaws or notable warpage due to excessive heat exposure. At some point prior to current ownership, a protective satin black coating was applied to the bottom sections of the car and the front air dam. The removable roof panel and distinctive rear deck spoiler are in very good condition with no marks or flaws of note. The glass appears to be original and in excellent condition as are the various window gaskets, black trim for the side vents and engine cover. The Ferrari emblems and badges are in excellent condition as are the lenses and lighting, further supporting the superb preservation and low miles. The car is currently wearing BBS gold web wheels and tires which are in very good to excellent condition, showing no curb rash or damage to the polished and painted surfaces. The original millimeter spec wheels and factory Michelin tires remain in impeccable condition and are included with the car. Inside the car, the tan leather interior has been preserved and maintained to a high standard. The seats are comfortable, and the leather remains soft and supple with only minor wear on the driver’s left side seat bolster. Carpeting is also well preserved with evidence of use in keeping with the miles shown. Instruments, center console, and steering wheel are in very good to excellent condition with no fading or unusual wear. The door panels have been fitted with aftermarket speakers and a replacement gear shift knob has been added, but otherwise, the interior remains very much as the factory outfitted the 308 in 1983. The removable top removes and attaches easily, stowing in the factory case behind the seats, making for both open and closed cockpit driving without the hassle of a folding convertible top. The trunk compartment is also in excellent condition with original black carpeting and a taut black zipper liner which smoothly opens and closes for access to this storage compartment. The engine compartment is clean and well maintained with the most recent timing belt change service recorded in February 202o. The engine and surrounding compartment remain original without significant modifications. The matching red intake plenum sits atop the 32-valve V8, boasting the added horsepower offered in the QV configuration. The handsome cast aluminum heads and red ignition wires deliver all the visual engagement of a finely preserved Ferrari showing only modest amounts of patina since offered new. Factory finishes and original data plates, coded labels, and warning information items remain in place including the Ferrari engine number pictured in the image gallery. Inside the front storage area, the unused original Michelin spare tire (still retaining the molded-in Mr. Bibendum figure on the high sidewall) mounted to the factory rim sits snugly inside the front tub, which appears to be in excellent condition showing no cracks or excessive scratches as is often seen in cars with more accumulated miles. The underside of the car is tidy and clean, and the rear scuff plate, installed to protect the various components, remains in good condition. Some evidence of road use is present, in keeping with the mileage shown on the odometer with no visual evidence of structural compromise. The car starts easily, idling smoothly, ready for driving. The improved power delivery in the Quattrovalvole is notable especially when compared to earlier iterations of the 308. The well-balanced chassis, improved suspension, 16” wheels, and open coachwork offers very rewarding driving particularly via the gated manual gearbox. Braking is quite good even when coming down from high speeds. Most impressively, the 32-valve engine delivers expressive power and great range without the fussiness often presented with carbureted cars. Included with this Ferrari The car is accompanied by the original wheels and tires, the original steering wheel, a factory tool roll, tools, jack and case, owner’s embroidered fabric and leather folio with manual and service booklet, and selected service records. 1983 Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalve Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
