- 1969 Porsche 917
Chassis 917-005 – Rebuilt to Race Another Day Qualified Pole Position by Joe Siffert at the 1969 Spa 1000km 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours – Entered & Driven by John Woolfe (Accident on Lap 1) 4.5 Liter Flat-12 engine 5-Speed Manual Transmission Stunning Longtail Configuration The Porsche 917, unveiled in 1969, stands as a testament to Porsche's commitment to innovation and excellence in motorsport. The 917 has etched its name in the annals of racing history. It was the first 917 to be raced as well as reaching pole position in its first qualifier at the 1969 Circuit De Spa on May 11th, 1969, piloted by Joe Siffert. Its next official race would be shortly after at the 24 hours of Le Mans in June of 1969. This was the first 917 to be raced by Porsche, and it stirred attention from all over. Porsche's journey to create the 917 was marked by ambition and innovation. While their earlier models, like the 904 Carrera GT, 906, and 908 had succeeded, they often fell behind giants like the GT40 and Ferrari Prototypes. Porsche saw an opportunity with the introduction of the 5-liter sports car class, known as Group 4. They embarked on a bold venture to build 25 examples of a 5-liter prototype, aiming for the World Sports Car Championship. One of these was Porsche 917-005, a marvel of engineering. Drawing inspiration from the 908, Porsche engineers crafted a lightweight yet powerful race car. The chassis, made from aluminum instead of steel, weighed a mere 93 lbs. The car's design ensured the driver and the massive 4.5-liter flat-12 engine fit snugly within its compact frame. Every aspect, from the double wishbone suspension system to the titanium-made parts, was meticulously crafted for optimal performance. 917-005 is more than just its technical specifications. It carries a story—one of triumph, passion, and tragedy. British privateer John Woolfe was the first customer of this automotive marvel. John Woolfe was a successful British racing driver known for his participation in various international and domestic racing events such as the 24 hours of LeMans, 1000km of Nurburgring, and Silverstone. He was particularly noted for his skill and competitiveness in sports car racing. Woolfe had competed in numerous races leading up to Le Mans, showcasing his talent and passion for motorsport. Woolfe dreamed of racing the Porsche 917 at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, fate had other plans. A tragic accident during the race at LeMans claimed Woolfe's life on June 14th, 1969, marking a somber chapter in the 917-005's history. The death of John Woolfe changed the rules of LeMans forever. After the crash, the car was loaded onto a truck and shipped back to Weissach. From 1969 to the early 1980’s, the car sat under a tarp in Weissach. The damaged car was taken apart and the frame was thrown away before 1982. The car remained the property of John Woolfe Racing. By the early 1980’s, Porsche enthusiast and racing driver Willi Kauhsen purchased a large quantity of 917 spare parts, in which a lot of those parts were from John Woolfe’s 917-005. By January of 2012, the rights to rebuild 917-005 were acquired from David Riswick, the current owner of John Woolfe Racing, and previous business partner of John Woolfe himself. It was then decided that 917-005 needed to be rebuilt to honor John Woolfe’s life and legacy for what he meant to the world of racing, and in the most authentic way possible. With the rights to the car in hand and Norbert Singer as the head engineer of the project, along with Willi Kauhsen who had previous racing experience with Porsche 908’s and 917’s, the rebuild had officially began. Over the next couple of years, the team breathed new life into the memory of the 005, rebuilding the car to its original essence and glory. The team secured the original 917 plans from Porsche. With that, the team sourced the original tubing to build the frame exactly as it was in 1969. The rebuild was sourced with factory Porsche parts from other 917’s, as well as rebuilt parts from Woolfe’s 917 that Willi Kauhsen acquired years prior. The windshield was sourced from extra stock via the original windshield manufacturer, that sat on a shelf unused for 40 years. In doing this, every part is truly authentic and to original specification as it was from 1969. Today, the Porsche 917-005 stands as a symbol of the intertwined nature of motorsport—where innovation meets passion and where dreams are pursued at the very edge of speed and skill. It serves as a poignant reminder of the stories and dreams carried by each car, echoing the spirit of those who dared to push boundaries. Beyond its racing accolades, the 917's cultural impact is undeniable, especially after its starring role in Steve McQueen's movie, "Le Mans." This car wasn't just about speed; it symbolized power, engineering prowess, and a passion for racing. Standing today, this 917 holds a special and significant place in automotive racing history. With every piece being looked over with meticulous detail, 917-005 resembles the memorial of the one and only John Woolfe, as well as preserving the history that this 917 bestowed upon the world. This 917 also has its FIA passport and is qualified to race historic races anywhere in the world.

- 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
This exceptional Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lovingly maintained by its most recent custodian, who has spared no expense during his 10-year ownership. It is beautifully presented in Signal Red and retains its original factory paint – something of a rarity for this shade. The fact that it has not been resprayed or had its panels removed shows up in the precise factory-spec panel gaps all around. Sold new as a right-hand-drive, UK-market car, it features an immaculate Black and Charcoal cloth interior, and its service book features a wealth of original stamps – testament to how well it’s been looked after throughout its life. During the past 10,000 miles, it has benefitted from regular maintenance by The SL Shop. Along the way, items such as the anti-roll bar bushes and engine mounts have been replaced, and a major service in 2023 included repairs to the exhaust, fresh brake fluid following a pressure-flush of the system, and the steering box being refurbished. Later that year, the owner instructed The SL Shop to prepare this 300SL to the very highest standards, after which it was carefully placed into storage and not driven. In July 2024, it returned to The SL Shop for an oil service, meaning that it’s now ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner. Even before its recent show-standard preparation, this was a concours-winning car, having regularly won its class and been awarded ‘Car of the Show’ at an event in which it beat 500 other entrants. It has always been praised by concours judges for its original condition, and only the stereo has been updated. The new Blaupunkt unit echoes the look of the period radio but features modern DAB functionality. Well sorted and prepared to the very highest standard, this Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lightly but regularly driven over the past decade and fastidiously maintained regardless of annual mileage. It is now being offered for sale by its enthusiast owner purely due to a house move, and comes with its original warranty card, owner’s manual, service book and the UK-specific sales/service book – as well as the original factory data card. A stylish and supremely reliable choice of classic roadster, it must be one of the very best examples currently on the market. 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Jensen Interceptor III re-mastered by Jensen International Automotive (JIA) offered at Autostorico is a September 1974 example finished in Candy Apple Red with Black leather quilted leather interior. Having covered 29,485 miles this very special car (one of one) has been significantly upgraded and can only be described as epic to drive. The car was originally built for a client by JIA and painted in a dark Burgundy with a tan interior trim. The client specified a manual gearbox, and the car was built with a standard LS3 engine with a Tremec 6 speed manual box. He also wanted wider wheels, and this was the first of these cars to have the wider wheels going on to to become a standard JIA specification. The rear arches were also widened to accommodate the larger tyres which at the time is unique to this car. The client used the car sparingly and offered the car back to JIA, who at the time needed a demonstration vehicle. JIA converted it back to a 4-speed automatic and shortly afterwards painted it in its current Candy Apple Red. The car served as a demonstration car for a couple of years until another demo car was complete, at which stage it was converted back to manual. Shortly after completion the new demo car got badly damaged on a track day at Goodwood, so the red car got pressed back into working duty for a further year, during which time it helped to sell a further three manual cars. With the completion of a new demonstrator the red car become surplus to requirement and JIA started to play with it for R & D purposes to see if it could appeal to the more sporting driver. The body remained untouched, but the interior was changed to black quilted leather with red accents including the headlining. The car was purchased by its current owner in 2022 a well-respected historic racing driver who undertook extra modifications and upgrades to produce the ultimate Jensen. These modifications included. Engine: LS3 6.2 V8, with uprated ASA 525 camshaft, circa 520bhp. Headers: Pair of stainless tubular headers, mated to a standard JIA 2.5” stainless system, fitted with a remote exhaust cut off valve. Clutch: Uprated twin plate clutch on a lighter flywheel. Gearbox: Magnum, TS6 6 Speed. Diff: Jaguar 3.5 ratio unit uprated with “Gripper” LSD. Front suspension: Fully adjustable, “Trakspax” bespoke coil -overs, anti-roll bar uprated to “stiffer” with rose joint drop links. Rear suspension: Fully adjustable independent “Trakpax”, bespoke rear ARB fitted with rose joint drop links. Brakes: AP racing 6 pot progressive callipers, with 1 “bigger discs. Uprated to BMW M unit with adjustable brake bias. Steering wheel: 14” suede covered MotorLita. Wheels: 18” with wider rims and tyres. 245/40R and 275/35R. Alan Mann Racing Ltd have set up and tuned the engine and have carried out various upgrades to suite the current owner.

Rising to fame through his co-founding of DC Shoes, Ken Block quickly found his second love in rallying following the sale of his company in 2004. After being named Rally America rookie of the year in 2005, numerous X Games medals would follow, in addition to finishing second overall in Rally America in 2006, 2008, and 2013. Perhaps most notably, Block would become the first American to drive in the World Rally Championship. It can be argued that Block’s most memorable time behind the wheel didn’t come from his time in professional rallying, but in the Gymkhana videos produced for the YouTube channel of his racing team, the Hoonigan Racing Division. They amassed many millions of views across ten feature-length videos featuring a variety of cars from his Ford Fiesta RS WRC to his custom-built Ford F-150 and Mustang, dubbed the Hoonitruck and Hoonicorn respectively. It was these videos that captured the imaginations of many, taking wild cars with breathtaking stunts and car control across increasingly wild landscapes, from San Francisco to Dubai. THE 2022 EAST AFRICAN SAFARI CLASSIC RALLY The East African Safari Classic Rally is a must-do event for enthusiasts around the world, and it is easy to see why it caught the attention of Ken Block as he continued to expand his experience in older cars and classic events on the rally calendar. Established in 2003 to revive the spirit of the original rally first held in 1953, it proved a grueling test of both man and machine across Kenya’s stunning landscapes, with the cars juxtaposed against the African Savanna. The 2022 edition would see the event’s return following the COVID pandemic, with the rally having been postponed from November 2021 to February 2022 as a result of travel restrictions, so there was fervent anticipation from participants and spectators alike to see the event return. While all the material for the rally (including signage and each car’s rally stickers) was done in anticipation of the event taking place in 2021, the event itself did in fact take place in February 2022. Porsche 911s have dominated the East African Safari Classic Rally since its inception, and there is no team with more experience on the event than Tuthill, and to many, they are the support of choice when entering the event. It’s no surprise that Block would have chosen to run a 911 built and supported by Tuthill for his first outing, as that would give him the greatest chance of adequate preparation beforehand and success on the actual event itself. All Tuthill’s 911s prepared for the East African Safari Classic Rally were fitted with a rebuilt 3.0-litre high-compression flat six-cylinder from a 911 SC engine producing 280 bhp alongside a safari-specification gearbox with a limited slip differential, safari specification oil coolers, and a competition specification exhaust. To cope with the terrain, the cars were fitted with five-way adjustable safari-spec dampers with hydraulic bump stops, strengthened safari rear arms, and a safari-specific steering rack, alongside bespoke billet front suspension uprights. Each donor 911 SC body shell was stripped back, strengthened, and repainted to customer specifications. Fitted with a full weld-in roll cage, the cars received full underbody protection with ‘roo’ bars at the front. The cars were also fitted with Perspex side windows, twin spare wheels, and a safari roof vent. Finally, the interiors were fully stripped out and prepared to rally specifications with Sparco Pro 2000 bucket seats, six-point harnesses, a Stilo intercom, two Monit G-Series trip computers, a hydraulic jack ready to be used in case of mid-event wheel replacements, and a fully plumbed-in fire suppression system alongside two handheld fire extinguishers. Block and his long-time codriver Alessandro Gelsomino would be one of no fewer than thirteen Tuthill-entered 911s competing in that edition of the East African Safari Classic Rally, showcasing the Tuthill team’s talent and experience with both the event and the 911 as a platform. Painstakingly built and prepared in the UK prior to being shipped to Africa, it was the Block/Gelsomino car that was undoubtedly the standout and most watched, not only due to its famous driver but the car’s eye-catching color scheme, finished in Block’s iconic Hoonigan Racing livery. Over the course of the event and on pace to win the event, Block and Gelsomino had amassed an impressive eight stage wins, but a whopping six punctures and a time penalty would leave them in 19th place overall at the finish. Looking at Tuthill’s rate of success across the same event, a Tuthill-prepared 911 driven by Patrik Sandell placed 2nd overall, followed by five other cars finishing in the top ten, with a further four rounding out the top 20. The event and all Tuthill’s participants, including Block and Gelsomino, were documented in a full-length film commissioned by Tuthill and produced by Petroleum & Co, showcasing not only the highs and lows of the event itself, but the painstaking preparation of each car participating, which makes for truly fascinating viewing. POST-RALLY HISTORY Following the conclusion of the rally, the 911 was transported back to England, where it went into storage at Tuthill’s Oxfordshire facilities. Meanwhile, Ken returned to modern cars and contested events in the 2022 Green APU National Rally Championship organized by the American Rally Association, driving a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC with Gelsomino as his co-driver. After Ken Block’s tragic passing in January 2023, the car was mechanically refreshed and set up for road use, while the exterior of the car was left in the same condition as it finished the rally. The car’s only outing since was at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it was driven as a tribute to Ken and his impact on the world of motorsport. Presently road-registered in the UK, this would be an extraordinary addition to any collection of Porsches or rally cars. Today, scores of young car enthusiasts can point to Ken Block, the Gymkhana videos, and his infectious personality as where they got their love of cars. This Tuthill-prepared 911 SC ‘Safari’ and its participation in the East African Safari Classic Rally brought the Hoonigan brand into an exciting new world, far away from the concrete jungles his cars were normally seen in the US, and undoubtedly helped to introduce Ken’s fans to the world of classic rallying. For the Hoonigan with a sense of adventure, there is no better car. 1978 Porsche 911 SC 'Safari' RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Radical improvements were made to the whole car: the power/weight ratio was improved as was the styling, while still keeping the original Pininfarina basic design. It is the last unlimited mid-engined twelve-cylinder. The F512 M, of which only 501 examples were produced, was replaced in 1996 by the front-engined 550 Maranello. According to available documents, the Ferrari 512 M presented here was originally delivered in Berlin in 1996 before it was sold to its current owner shortly afterwards. The car has been regularly serviced by brand specialists and recently underwent a major service including the replacement of the timing belt. Particularly noteworthy are the carbon fibre racing seats, which offer sufficient space even for taller drivers. A good opportunity to acquire one of the few F512 Ms built in excellentcondition and with a traceable history.

The introduction of the 250 Europa heralded a significant change in Ferrari's preferred coachbuilder; whereas previously Vignale had been the most popular carrozzeria among Maranello's customers, from now on Pinin Farina (later 'Pininfarina') would be Ferrari's number one choice, bodying no fewer than 48 out of the 53 Europa/Europa GTs built. Pinin Farina's experiments eventually crystallised in a new Ferrari 250 GT road car that was first displayed publicly at the Geneva Salon in March 1956. However, the Torinese carrozzeria was not yet in a position to cope with the increased workload, resulting in production being entrusted to Carrozzeria Boano after Pinin Farina had completed a handful of prototypes. 1974 Dino 246 GTS Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974 Dino 246 GTS 1
One of only 12 RHD UK supplied 'Flares' Dinos built, this example was supplied new to its first owner, a Mr Bruce D. Webster in the sunnier climes of Victoria, Australia. Optioned from new with desirable 'Flares', the wider arches available on the Dino and paired exclusively with the 7.5 Inch sand-cast Campagnolo alloy wheels. Originally supplied in Rosso Chiaro over a Nero Plastica 161 interior, this car has since been upgraded to sought-after Daytona-style seats. Passing through several owners in Australia, the car spent 17 years in the care of Bill Cowan and his collection in Adelaide. Sharing a garage alongside an original 1973 2.8 RSR, the Dino was used sparingly and covered just 5,000 miles during his ownership. In 2014, the car was purchased by DK and re-imported into the UK. The original build specification including electric windows was confirmed by Tony Willis of the Maranello Concessionaires archive. At this time, DK sold the car to its current owner. For the first two years the car was used ‘as-was’, in good shape but ever so slightly tired and in need of some love. In 2016, the decision was made to restore the car to a specification that would have been available at the time of ordering. Over the course of nearly five years and when funds allowed, the car was stripped down to its bare metal form and the restoration process was ignited. This restoration was not set to be a straightforward process, DK even enlisted the assistance from Ferrari to work on some components of the restoration. As a part of its extensive works, both the body and chassis were returned to Ferrari in Modena to be carefully restored under the watchful eye of their very own Classiche department. Upon completion of the metal work, Ferrari re-painted the body in the stunning metallic finish ‘Blu Sera Metallizzato’ under the supervision of DK. This Dino is, in fact, the only example to have received such treatment to its body and chassis at the factory. With the shell out of the UK, DK set about putting the rest of the car through our comprehensive restoration process and in such, the engine, running gear and all other components underwent a comprehensive rebuild in the UK, appropriately photographed ahead of its reinstallation in the car. For the interior, the car was sent to O’Rourke Coachtrimmers in West Sussex, renowned for their multi-concours winning work. The interior colours were chosen to complement the Blu Sera Metallizzato exterior; VM3014 ‘Ochre’ with C011 dark blue carpets. In late 2020, everything was aligned and perfected to carefully re-construct, of course, maintaining the highest of standards throughout the process. Reassembly took just over a year, during which time Classiche Certification was ignited and is currently pending approval with Ferrari. Without a doubt, the result of this four-year restoration is one of the finest 246 GTS we have ever laid eyes on. An example that must be seen in person to truly appreciate. Fresh from restoration, this fabulous ‘Flares’ GTS has been road-tested and snagged, ready to be used and enjoyed on the road or grabbing plenty of attention on the concours field. After greatly enjoying the restoration process, this example, now ready for its next custodian is available to view by appointment only at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1974 Dino 246 GTS D.K.

- 1989-lamborghini-countach-25th-anniversary-edition-by-bertone-02
By the late 1980s, the Lamborghini Countach was already an indisputable icon, an angular, mid-engine fantasy that had spent over a decade warping young minds and adorning bedroom walls across the globe. With the arrival of the 25th Anniversary Edition in 1988, Lamborghini did more than just celebrate a milestone for the supercar: It sent off its most outrageous creation with a final, unapologetic roar. The 25th Anniversary Countach was not a radical reinvention, but rather a thoughtful, precision-tuned evolution of everything that had made the Countach extraordinary. Designer Horacio Pagani refined the car’s famously aggressive bodywork. What resulted was a suite of subtle but effective aerodynamic updates: reworked front and rear bumpers, deeper air intakes, revised side skirts, and new cooling ducts over the rear fenders. The cabin took a measured step toward civility via power-operated seats and windows, standardized climate control, improved bolstering, and a re-engineered steering assembly. The new Countach was still a supercar that demanded commitment but, for the first time, also offered a degree of comfort. Under the rear deck, the familiar 5.2-liter V-12 produced around 455 horsepower and was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The mechanicals benefited from fine-tuning courtesy of rally legend Sandro Munari, who revised the suspension and fitted wider Pirelli tires to help tame the beast’s famously unruly handling. Performance remained scorching: 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of more than 180 mph. But the real achievement of the 25th Anniversary Edition was its balance, as it retained every bit of the Countach’s flamboyance while smoothing over its roughest edges. Produced from 1988 to 1990, the 25th Anniversary Edition rightfully became the most commercially successful Countach, with a run of approximately 657 units. This example is finished in the wonderful factory shade of Rosso Perlato (224147) over a tan leather interior. The car is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. The Lamborghini rides on 15-inch OZ Racing wheels and features the desirable rear wing. The tan leather interior features a gated shifter, climate control, JVC head unit, as well as power seats, windows, mirrors, and locks. Lamborghini chief test driver Valentino Balboni signed the dashboard and photos of him with the car are included in the sale. The Countach's odometer displayed 35,999 kilometers (22,369 miles) at time of cataloguing. As the final chapter in the Countach saga, the 25th Anniversary Edition bid a fitting farewell to Lamborghini’s most audacious creation. This fascinating example offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the definitive poster cars of the 20th century—still as bold, brash, and breathtaking as the day it was delivered. 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition by Bertone RM Sotheby's 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 By the late 1980s, the Lamborghini Countach was already an indisputable icon, an angular, mid-engine fantasy that had spent over a decade warping young minds and adorning bedroom walls across the globe. With the arrival of the 25th Anniversary Edition in 1988, Lamborghini did more than just celebrate a milestone for the supercar: It sent off its most outrageous creation with a final, unapologetic roar. The 25th Anniversary Countach was not a radical reinvention, but rather a thoughtful, precision-tuned evolution of everything that had made the Countach extraordinary. Designer Horacio Pagani refined the car’s famously aggressive bodywork. What resulted was a suite of subtle but effective aerodynamic updates: reworked front and rear bumpers, deeper air intakes, revised side skirts, and new cooling ducts over the rear fenders. The cabin took a measured step toward civility via power-operated seats and windows, standardized climate control, improved bolstering, and a re-engineered steering assembly. The new Countach was still a supercar that demanded commitment but, for the first time, also offered a degree of comfort. Under the rear deck, the familiar 5.2-liter V-12 produced around 455 horsepower and was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The mechanicals benefited from fine-tuning courtesy of rally legend Sandro Munari, who revised the suspension and fitted wider Pirelli tires to help tame the beast’s famously unruly handling. Performance remained scorching: 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of more than 180 mph. But the real achievement of the 25th Anniversary Edition was its balance, as it retained every bit of the Countach’s flamboyance while smoothing over its roughest edges. Produced from 1988 to 1990, the 25th Anniversary Edition rightfully became the most commercially successful Countach, with a run of approximately 657 units. This example is finished in the wonderful factory shade of Rosso Perlato (224147) over a tan leather interior. The car is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. The Lamborghini rides on 15-inch OZ Racing wheels and features the desirable rear wing. The tan leather interior features a gated shifter, climate control, JVC head unit, as well as power seats, windows, mirrors, and locks. Lamborghini chief test driver Valentino Balboni signed the dashboard and photos of him with the car are included in the sale. The Countach's odometer displayed 35,999 kilometers (22,369 miles) at time of cataloguing. As the final chapter in the Countach saga, the 25th Anniversary Edition bid a fitting farewell to Lamborghini’s most audacious creation. This fascinating example offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the definitive poster cars of the 20th century—still as bold, brash, and breathtaking as the day it was delivered.

- 1997 Porsche 993 Targa
The Porsche 911 Type 993, the top of the air-cooled era and the last of its kind, was produced between 1993 and 1998. The 993 was the fourth generation of the Porsche 911. Its front wings were wider and significantly flatter. Its rear wings were also wider and ran in a straighter line to the rear. The Targa model was launched in 1996, featuring a panoramic glass sliding roof that opened smoothly at the push of a button and retracted behind the rear window. For the first time, this new Targa concept offered open-top driving pleasure without fundamentally changing the classic coupé roofline. A bit more than 4.500 units of the Porsche 993 Targa were produced between 1996 and 1998. The one we have for sale is a beautiful exemplar that was delivered new to The Netherlands in June 1997 in a very special and rare shade: Aventura Green. This metallic paint is a muted medium green with a subtle touch of blue-gray that exudes sophistication and makes it a standout choice for Porsche enthusiasts. Purists will also appreciate the manual transmission knowing that the 993 was the first generation of the 911 to have a six-speed manual transmission included as standard. This Targa 993 spent most of its lifetime in The Netherlands, being cherished and regularly maintained by its owners. It comes with its Certificate of Conformity and complete service book. In 2020, a satellite alarm system was installed as well as a new Blaupunkt autoradio. Since new, the Porsche has driven 123.750 Km, a relatively low mileage for its age. It was last registered in Danemark and is overall in very good condition. Here is the list of options: 398 Retro ext electrical & heating | 425 Rear wiper | 445 Porsche logo on silver wheel | 982 Soft leather seats. Full list of equipment available on request; Inside, the black soft leather of the seats is in very good condition and the panoramic roof brings light into the cabin to the driver’s delight. Given the “last is best” mentality of buying an historic sports car, the Porsche 993 is highly desirable in the used-car market. The rare Targa model is certainly a favourite amongst Porsche lovers, blending timeless design with exhilarating performance. It is the perfect car to enjoy everyday and could be a wise addition to a car collection. 1997 Porsche 993 Targa AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO 1
The most prevalent means for delivery a new Ferrari was, for a long time, by allocation of a pre-ordered car from an importer or distributor. Cars were in such short supply that markets outside of Italy could see just 2 or 3 cars arrive at a time. In the UK for example, all cars would come in through Maranello concessionaires before dispatch to independent dealerships. On very rare occasions, Ferrari would intervene and sell a car ‘diretta’ or direct to the end user. This is only the norm on cars supplied to prominent figures, racing drivers or in this instance, to the very first man to win for Ferrari at Le Mans. This 288 GTO was supplied new to Luigi Chinetti, one month before his 85th birthday. Having been appointed the Ferrari Factory Agent by Enzo Ferrari himself, Chinetti opened the very first, and for a while the only, Ferrari dealership in the USA. The first car sold by Chinetti was #0002M in the first quarter of 1949, the Turin Motor show car of 1948. Just a few months later he would be in the hotseat of #0008M alongside Lord Selsdon for his third 24hrs of Le Mans. Chinetti reportedly drove the car for 23 of the 24 hours. His achievements marked a turning point for the marque and entered #0008M into the history books as the only car to ever win both the Mille Miglia and Le Mans 24hrs – a feat it achieved in the same year! Chinetti took delivery of the car in Europe at the factory, collecting it himself in December of 1985 as noted by the Italian registration document. He would subsequently drive the 288 to Le Mans in June of 1986. As a ‘Diretta’ sale from the factory, the car would not receive its book pack until had received its running in service carried back at the factory at Assitenza Tecnica in July 1986. Chinetti’s name was added to the front of the book by Jacques Swaters’ Garage Francorchamps in Belgium who cared for the car throughout his ownership. The car would change hands the following year to an eccentric character, Jean-Pierre Van Rossem through Garage Francorchamps. An economist and stock market guru, Van Rossem founded the investment company Moneytron, who claimed to offer endless returns. He later went on to own the Onyx Formula 1 team and was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison for fraud. At his most successful, Van Rossem was the proud owner of over 100 Ferrari’s and two Dassault Falcon 900 aircraft. He drove the 288 GTO to a race meeting held at Circuit Zolder organised by Garage Francorchamps, and the car was photographed on the grid alongside two Ferrari 308GT/Ms. Garage Francorchamps would handle the servicing for both 1986 and 1987. In 1988, the GTO was imported into the UK and cared for by prominent marque collector Peter Rae, with servicing carried out by Graypaul Ferrari of Loughborough. Since 2000, this 288 GTO has been cared by a single private owner in Japan. Accompanied by its original book pack, original service book a, with Luigi Chinetti’s personal signature as well as its supplementary Japanese service booklet with a ream of invoices,and spare wheel this stunning 288 GTO is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. Arriving at DK Engineering in August 2023, this example is presently undergoing a comprehensive engine out service and inspection along with a full detail to ensure the car presents as expected. 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO D.K.

- 1973 Jensen Interceptor Series III
Ordered in late 1973, this Jensen Interceptor was exported new in January 1974 to its first owner – Chad Hwang Chi, who lived in Hong Kong. The history file shows that he used the car sparingly before it was shipped back to the UK in 1977. Factory records that are included in the paperwork show that chassis number 2244-9343 was fitted with engine number 4C 12312. It was finished in black with a tan interior, plus the optional vinyl roof, while the 2244 prefix for the chassis number denoted a right-hand-drive car for the home market or the Far East. By the time the Jensen was bought by a Mr D Monaghan in 1979, it had still covered only 9000 miles. Mr Monaghan and his son were based in Glasgow and owned the Interceptor for 10 years. There’s a letter on file that was written in 1989 by the proprietor of Bardeans Automotive – he could remember servicing the Interceptor a decade earlier, writing that ‘it was particularly memorable because of the fact that the car had just come from Hong Kong, had a walnut console and showed a very low mileage.’ The Jensen was put into storage between 1984 and August 1989, which meant that it was still showing only 16,800 miles when it passed to its new custodian, Stephen Smith. He ended up selling the car shortly afterwards, and during the late 1990s it regularly picked up awards at the Jensen Owners Club’s annual Concours d’Elegance with its next owner, a Mr PG Jones. The Interceptor was acquired by a new owner in 2014 and received a number of upgrades from Cheshire-based restoration specialist Bespoke Auto Developments. Modifications were made to the engine and suspension, and a tuned exhaust system was fitted. Modern air-conditioning was installed, the lighting and cooling systems were both upgraded, and BAD added carbon fibre trim to the centre console in place of the standard wood. A later Dodge A500/A518 overdrive transmission unit was subsequently fitted and is well suited to the immense torque put out by the 7.2-litre Chrysler engine. More recent work has included new front dampers, the fitment of a Powermaster 9300 starter motor, and new exhaust gaskets. Now being offered for sale, this Jensen Interceptor has been retrimmed in quilted grey leather with matching carpets, features a Becker Monza cassette player, and its handsome five-spoke alloy wheels are shod with Pirelli rubber. The extensive history file is packed with invoices from leading marque specialists as well as its original handbook, its factory order card and inspection sheets, and paperwork going back to its first owner in Hong Kong. Model history Launched at the 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor was a handsome blend of British engineering, Italian styling and American power. Hand-built at Jensen’s West Bromwich factory near Birmingham, the Interceptor featured a steel body that was designed by Carrozzeria Touring, and early bodies were built by Vignale. Chrysler’s powerful 6.3-litre V8 engine was used, and it drove through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission or – in the case of a small number of early Interceptors – a four-speed manual. Underpinning it all was a chassis that offered a simple but robust blend of a live rear axle suspended by semi-elliptic springs, and an independent front end that employed wishbones, telescopic dampers and an anti-roll bar. Disc brakes were fitted all round. Just over 1000 examples of the original model were built – the vast majority of which were for the domestic market – before the short-lived Interceptor II was introduced. With an eye on increasing exports to the US, the long list of detail modifications included the addition of air-conditioning as an option and a revised dashboard with rockers in place of the toggle switches. A more fundamental change came with the introduction of the Interceptor III in late 1971. The 6.3-litre engine was replaced with Chrysler’s 7.2-litre unit and when Motor Sport tested the updated model, it noted that it was £2500 cheaper than the Aston Martin DBS. The top speed for the magazine’s standard test car – a more powerful high-compression SP was also offered – was more than 135mph, while 0-60mph was dispatched in just over eight seconds. The bigger engine impressed with its effortless performance. ‘It is a tremendously easy car to drive when not trying to break any records,’ wrote Clive Richardson in Motor Sport, ‘yet when overtaking performance is required, kickdown gives a tremendous thump in the back, the start of impressive and safe acceleration which keeps this Jensen well up in the league of the world’s high-performance cars.’ The magazine concluded that the Interceptor – which proved popular with celebrity buyers from rock stars to actors – was still ‘the epitome of the high-speed executive express’, and production lasted until 1976. 1973 Jensen Interceptor Series III The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Ordered in late 1973, this Jensen Interceptor was exported new in January 1974 to its first owner – Chad Hwang Chi, who lived in Hong Kong. The history file shows that he used the car sparingly before it was shipped back to the UK in 1977. Factory records that are included in the paperwork show that chassis number 2244-9343 was fitted with engine number 4C 12312. It was finished in black with a tan interior, plus the optional vinyl roof, while the 2244 prefix for the chassis number denoted a right-hand-drive car for the home market or the Far East. By the time the Jensen was bought by a Mr D Monaghan in 1979, it had still covered only 9000 miles. Mr Monaghan and his son were based in Glasgow and owned the Interceptor for 10 years. There’s a letter on file that was written in 1989 by the proprietor of Bardeans Automotive – he could remember servicing the Interceptor a decade earlier, writing that ‘it was particularly memorable because of the fact that the car had just come from Hong Kong, had a walnut console and showed a very low mileage.’ The Jensen was put into storage between 1984 and August 1989, which meant that it was still showing only 16,800 miles when it passed to its new custodian, Stephen Smith. He ended up selling the car shortly afterwards, and during the late 1990s it regularly picked up awards at the Jensen Owners Club’s annual Concours d’Elegance with its next owner, a Mr PG Jones. The Interceptor was acquired by a new owner in 2014 and received a number of upgrades from Cheshire-based restoration specialist Bespoke Auto Developments. Modifications were made to the engine and suspension, and a tuned exhaust system was fitted. Modern air-conditioning was installed, the lighting and cooling systems were both upgraded, and BAD added carbon fibre trim to the centre console in place of the standard wood. A later Dodge A500/A518 overdrive transmission unit was subsequently fitted and is well suited to the immense torque put out by the 7.2-litre Chrysler engine. More recent work has included new front dampers, the fitment of a Powermaster 9300 starter motor, and new exhaust gaskets. Now being offered for sale, this Jensen Interceptor has been retrimmed in quilted grey leather with matching carpets, features a Becker Monza cassette player, and its handsome five-spoke alloy wheels are shod with Pirelli rubber. The extensive history file is packed with invoices from leading marque specialists as well as its original handbook, its factory order card and inspection sheets, and paperwork going back to its first owner in Hong Kong. Model history Launched at the 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor was a handsome blend of British engineering, Italian styling and American power. Hand-built at Jensen’s West Bromwich factory near Birmingham, the Interceptor featured a steel body that was designed by Carrozzeria Touring, and early bodies were built by Vignale. Chrysler’s powerful 6.3-litre V8 engine was used, and it drove through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission or – in the case of a small number of early Interceptors – a four-speed manual. Underpinning it all was a chassis that offered a simple but robust blend of a live rear axle suspended by semi-elliptic springs, and an independent front end that employed wishbones, telescopic dampers and an anti-roll bar. Disc brakes were fitted all round. Just over 1000 examples of the original model were built – the vast majority of which were for the domestic market – before the short-lived Interceptor II was introduced. With an eye on increasing exports to the US, the long list of detail modifications included the addition of air-conditioning as an option and a revised dashboard with rockers in place of the toggle switches. A more fundamental change came with the introduction of the Interceptor III in late 1971. The 6.3-litre engine was replaced with Chrysler’s 7.2-litre unit and when Motor Sport tested the updated model, it noted that it was £2500 cheaper than the Aston Martin DBS. The top speed for the magazine’s standard test car – a more powerful high-compression SP was also offered – was more than 135mph, while 0-60mph was dispatched in just over eight seconds. The bigger engine impressed with its effortless performance. ‘It is a tremendously easy car to drive when not trying to break any records,’ wrote Clive Richardson in Motor Sport, ‘yet when overtaking performance is required, kickdown gives a tremendous thump in the back, the start of impressive and safe acceleration which keeps this Jensen well up in the league of the world’s high-performance cars.’ The magazine concluded that the Interceptor – which proved popular with celebrity buyers from rock stars to actors – was still ‘the epitome of the high-speed executive express’, and production lasted until 1976.
