Above 4500 RPM it gets's a little louder so you can't hear the passenger scream. - Porsche 930. A Porsche that puts all your senses on edge; The Porsche 930 Turbo. Known among enthusiasts as the Widow maker. Why? Because this 'neunelfer' has a big turbo in addition to its excellent 3.3 liter boxer engine. The 911S was already known for its dual personality. You could tour wonderfully with it, but when you called on the boxer for its power, you had to take serious care with all the weight mainly in the back. These characteristics were enhanced with the big turbo in the 930. The name Widowmaker is supposed to sharpen the senses, but "really dangerous" the car is not. After all, Ferdinand Porsche gave the very first 930 Turbo to his daughter, Louise Piech. Beyond Porsche's love of the 930 Turbo, even artists have described the driving experience in their songs. Think of KK Downing who wrote the song Turbo-lover or Judas Priest with his album Turbo. To recognition of its potentials, this hot-tempered 911 is not modest. Perhaps the 911-Turbo line is a bit like an average artist's life. It started (with the 930) very wildly, many a person deeply impressed and sometimes lying backwards in the hedge. Nowadays, after a lot of guidance, structure and balance, they are better, but less eccentric and the experience is "braver. At the time, the 930 Turbo was a direct competitor to the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 356 GT4 BB. With its sprint from 0-100 in 4.8 seconds, even to this day, it is a very fast car. After announcing production, Porsche was overwhelmed with the number of responses and reservations. The planned production number of "first editions" of 500 was immediately doubled to the 1,000 mark. 1982 Porsche 930 Turbo Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The first Grand Touring Lotus, the Elite represented an important step in the brand's history. It brought Lotus fame, even if the car was not financially profitable. When the prototype Lotus Elite was introduced at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1957 it created a real stir, for not only the fact it was a pretty two-seater coupe, but because it broke new ground in many technical ways. There was no chassis by the conventional sports car ideas of the time, the car being built as a body/chassis unit in one piece made of glass-reinforced epoxide and polyester resin “glass-fibre”. There were many problems in getting the car into production and it was over a year before the first ones began to appear. But the Elite would go down in motoring history for its revolutionary bodywork. A versatile car, the Lotus Elite embodied the GT philosophy: drive during the week and race at the weekend. It has been programmed according to the new regulations of the GT championship (1300 cm3 category) to aim for class victories in major international events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours. Work on the Type 14, which was to become the Elite, began in 1956. Although very incomplete, the prototype was presented at the London Motor Show at Earls Court in October 1957. To compensate for the modest power of the engine, Colin Chapman, a champion of weight reduction, designed an audacious self-supporting monocoque structure made entirely of plastic. A world first. The only metal reinforcements (embedded in the resin) are a protective hoop around the windscreen to which the door hinges are attached, and subframes that house the suspension and engine attachments. After initial manufacturing problems at Maximar, a firm specialising in boat hulls, production was subcontracted to Bristol. Suspension was independent on all four wheels, there were disc brakes all round and the power unit under the bonnet was the Coventry Climax single overhead camshaft engine in a 1216 cm3 version made especially for Lotus. It was called the FWE. Built in aluminium and very expensive, it only produced 75 bhp. The BMC non-synchronized first gearbox was identical to that of the MGA. Braking was by discs on all four wheels, and the four-wheel independent suspension was borrowed from the Type 12 single-seater. With its pure lines, clear volumes and plunging bonnet, the superb lines of the Lotus Elite are the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, a design enthusiast and friend of Colin Chapman. His work was reviewed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin, who was particularly responsible for the truncated stern. The result is an excellent Cx of 0.29! It should be noted that the Elite's windows did not slide down: they were removable and stored in a bag in the back of the seats... September 1959 saw the launch of the Series 2, whose suspension had been modified to eliminate the steering lock caused by the flexible tie rods. The following year, Chapman launched the SE (Special Equipment) version equipped with a different camshaft and exhaust manifold. With 85 bhp obtained at 6,500 rpm, the SE accelerated to 185 km/h thanks to its aerodynamic qualities and light weight (640 kg), covering 0 to 100 km/h in ten seconds. The car was also fitted with a ZF four-speed synchronized gearbox. A Super 95 version was offered in 1962. This was a misleading name, as power was actually reduced to 80 bhp (at a lower engine speed of 6,100 rpm). But the Elite would be offered throughout its career with more advanced engines, up to 105 bhp at 8,000 rpm, thanks to twin Weber carburettors (instead of the single SU of the normal version) and more advanced valve timing. Designed with competition in mind, the Elite suffers from serious shortcomings. It has to be said that Colin Chapman had no experience of building production models before launching it. It vibrated a lot and was very noisy, with the plastic bodywork acting as a sounding board. A cutting-edge car for discerning enthusiasts, the Lotus Elite also suffered from questionable reliability, not to mention tricky and expensive maintenance. On the other hand, the Elite's roadholding was formidable, close to that of a racing car: remarkable roadholding, precise and direct steering, powerful braking. Extremely expensive to build, 1,030 examples were produced until 1963. It was sold as a kit from 1961, which considerably reduced the price. The Lotus Elite forged a flattering record in competition, racking up numerous class victories. Its sober engine also enabled it to win the energy index twice at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 1960 and 1962). Average fuel consumption was just over 15 litres per 100 kilometres, with a top speed in excess of 220 km/h! DAD 10 At the Brands Hatch race meeting on Boxing Day 1958 there were five production Lotus Elites entered for the Production Sports and Grand Touring Cars event and a memorable battle took place between Colin Chapman in a works car and Jimmy Clark in the Border Reivers car, with a narrow victory going to the founder of Lotus Cars. In third place in another Lotus Elite was Mike Costin, the Cos of Cosworth Engineering and key man on the production of the Cosworth DFV in later years. That Brands Hatch race was indeed significant in the history of British motor racing. By mid-1959 the Lotus firm had moved from Hornsey in North London to Cheshunt in Hertfordshire and production of the Lotus Elite really got under way, with the bodyshell being made by Bristol Aeroplane Plastics Ltd. When Doug Nye wrote bis book “The Story of Lotus 1961-1971” Colin Chapman told him “The Elite was really a road-going car and used many of the racing components. We didn’t have much experience of road-car economics when we designed it, and without long-range tooling, long-range buying and strict cost-saving it was finally just uneconomic to build. I believe we lost over £100 on each car we built.” Nonetheless they built 285 of the Series I cars and by October 1960 the Series II was introduced, which had revised rear suspension, and 703 of these were built in the ensuing years, making a total of 988 altogether. When Colin Chapman described the Elite as a road-going racing car, he was not far wrong for once production was under way they were raced in every type of event from Mallory Park club meetings to the Le Mans 24 Hour race and Nurburgring 1,000 kilometers races and were highly successful in the small GT category. Many of them became famous and many of them were registered with special number plates, like CB 23 for Chris Barbour, the jazz-man, WUU 2 for Peter Lumsden and LOV 1 for Graham Warner, but the one being featured in this series is DAD 10, not because it is the most famous, and the most successful but because it was symptomatic of the “swinging-sixties”. This Lotus Elite was owned by Les Leston who was running a very successful motoring accessory business in London and he was also into the London jazz and rock music scene. In the early Swing days the name “Daddy” was given to old men with money to burn on living it up with wine, women and song and any young girl who picked up a rich “Daddy” was known to have a “Sugar Daddy”. When Rock took over from Swing the principles were unchanged and “Daddy” was changed into “Dadio”. Leston’s racing Elite was registered DAD 10, which easily changed itself into DADIO and the car soon became called “Dadio”. All of which fitted neatly into the life and business style of Les Leston Accessories. Apart from all that “Dadio” was a very quick car and Leston was one of the club “aces” of the time, racing it extensively in the early sixties and having some memorable battles with Graham Warner in LOV 1. Leston’s best effort with the red Elite with the white stripes was to finish 7th overall in the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood in 1961, only six laps behind the winning Ferrari. Its 1,220 c.c. Coventry-Climax engine used two twin-choke Weber carburetters, which developed 105 b.h.p. and drove through a ZF gearbox to a 4.87 to 1 differential unit. The car weighed 9 3/4 cwt. and accelerated from 0-100 m.p.h. in 17.6 sec. and at Goodwood it clocked 128 m.p.h. on the Lavant Straight. After Les Leston stopped racing it, the car passed through two new owners’ hands but they did not race it, and then it disappeared into the murk of the second-hand car-dealer world and was lost about 1966. Our Mos 10 is a well-preserved 1962 Lotus Elite Series II, which was purchased by Neil Twyman through Charles Fripp in 2009. After a thorough diagnosis of its originality, Twyman decided to rebuild it as a tribute to the former Les Leston DAD 10 with its specific Franck Costin front end. The renowned Neil Twyman put all his effort and knowledge into building a highly accurate and competitive replica of the famous period car. The best English craftsmen supplied the various components: Crosthwaite & Gardiner, MK14, Climax Engine Services, Tony Thompson, Bodicraft Supplies and Panel craft ltd. Nothing has been left to chance, as you'll see. The MOS 10 boasts Leston's distinctive front grille, among other period factory features. After spending some time in the hands of Twyman, it finally joined the JD Classics stable. The car once again received an extensive preparation and raced successfully in the JD Classics colors. At the 2016 edition of Le Mans Classic, it proved to be the fastest Elite in Plateau 3, winning 1st place in the performance index. Subsequently, the current owner purchased the MOS 10 from JD Classics and raced the car entrusted to the ATS workshop in Le Mans. The owner maintained the car to a very high standard and also purchased a large number of spare parts to accompany the sporting career of his Lotus: 1 ZF gearbox overhauled by Marel & Pellin, 1 complete FWE engine overhauled, 1 spare dif carburetors, front brake calipers, doors, hoods, wheels.... Ready to race, and sold with its own set of spare parts, this Lotus Elite is probably the sports car offering the greatest eligibility in the great historic races: Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Fifties' Legends..... 1962 Lotus Elite S2 Fia Specs Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

We didn’t have much experience of road-car economics when we designed it, and without long-range tooling, long-range buying and strict cost-saving it was finally just uneconomic to build. I believe we lost over £100 on each car we built.” Nonetheless they built 285 of the Series I cars and by October 1960 the Series II was introduced, which had revised rear suspension, and 703 of these were built in the ensuing years, making a total of 988 altogether. When Colin Chapman described the Elite as a road-going racing car, he was not far wrong for once production was under way they were raced in every type of event from Mallory Park club meetings to the Le Mans 24 Hour race and Nurburgring 1,000 kilometers races and were highly successful in the small GT category. Many of them became famous and many of them were registered with special number plates, like CB 23 for Chris Barbour, the jazz-man, WUU 2 for Peter Lumsden and LOV 1 for Graham Warner, but the one being featured in this series is DAD 10, not because it is the most famous, and the most successful but because it was symptomatic of the “swinging-sixties”. This Lotus Elite was owned by Les Leston who was running a very successful motoring accessory business in London and he was also into the London jazz and rock music scene. In the early Swing days the name “Daddy” was given to old men with money to burn on living it up with wine, women and song and any young girl who picked up a rich “Daddy” was known to have a “Sugar Daddy”. When Rock took over from Swing the principles were unchanged and “Daddy” was changed into “Dadio”. Leston’s racing Elite was registered DAD 10, which easily changed itself into DADIO and the car soon became called “Dadio”. All of which fitted neatly into the life and business style of Les Leston Accessories. Apart from all that “Dadio” was a very quick car and Leston was one of the club “aces” of the time, racing it extensively in the early sixties and having some memorable battles with Graham Warner in LOV 1. Leston’s best effort with the red Elite with the white stripes was to finish 7th overall in the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood in 1961, only six laps behind the winning Ferrari. Its 1,220 c.c. Coventry-Climax engine used two twin-choke Weber carburetters, which developed 105 b.h.p. and drove through a ZF gearbox to a 4.87 to 1 differential unit. The car weighed 9 3/4 cwt. and accelerated from 0-100 m.p.h. in 17.6 sec. and at Goodwood it clocked 128 m.p.h. on the Lavant Straight. After Les Leston stopped racing it, the car passed through two new owners’ hands but they did not race it, and then it disappeared into the murk of the second-hand car-dealer world and was lost about 1966. Our Mos 10 is a well-preserved 1962 Lotus Elite Series II, which was purchased by Neil Twyman through Charles Fripp in 2009. After a thorough diagnosis of its originality, Twyman decided to rebuild it as a tribute to the former Les Leston DAD 10 with its specific Franck Costin front end. The renowned Neil Twyman put all his effort and knowledge into building a highly accurate and competitive replica of the famous period car. The best English craftsmen supplied the various components: Crosthwaite & Gardiner, MK14, Climax Engine Services, Tony Thompson, Bodicraft Supplies and Panel craft ltd. Nothing has been left to chance, as you'll see. The MOS 10 boasts Leston's distinctive front grille, among other period factory features. After spending some time in the hands of Twyman, it finally joined the JD Classics stable. The car once again received an extensive preparation and raced successfully in the JD Classics colors. At the 2016 edition of Le Mans Classic, it proved to be the fastest Elite in Plateau 3, winning 1st place in the performance index. Subsequently, the current owner purchased the MOS 10 from JD Classics and raced the car entrusted to the ATS workshop in Le Mans. The owner maintained the car to a very high standard and also purchased a large number of spare parts to accompany the sporting career of his Lotus: 1 ZF gearbox overhauled by Marel & Pellin, 1 complete FWE engine overhauled, 1 spare dif carburetors, front brake calipers, doors, hoods, wheels.... Ready to race, and sold with its own set of spare parts, this Lotus Elite is probably the sports car offering the greatest eligibility in the great historic races: Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Fifties' Legends.....

Built with no expense spared by renowned marque specialist Alfaholics, this spectacular Alfa Romeo Spider is a seriously quick and well-sorted fast road/track-day classic. The basis for the conversion was a right-hand-drive 2000 Spider Veloce that had been first registered in the UK on 13 May 1977. The car was in need of restoration and its long-term owner was a track-day enthusiast who commissioned Alfaholics to turn it into something that he could drive hard on track, as well as drive it to and from the circuits themselves. With a brief to use only the highest-grade parts, the specification for the Alfaholics GTA-R was used as a starting point – but this Spider would benefit from a number of bespoke extras. In order to provide handling that would complement the straight-line speed that was planned, the Alfa Spider’s bodyshell was stiffened with a bespoke rollcage. The owner specified that he wanted none of it to be visible above the door line, so once the shell had been placed on a flat jig bed and straightened, a discreet lightweight cage was welded into place in order to ensure a suitably rigid structure. The suspension was then built up and includes Alfaholics’ lightweight wishbones, geometry conversion kit, six-pot brake kit, adjustable camber arms, adjustable aluminium dampers, and a front spring conversion that allows for adjustable ride height. At the rear, lightweight trailing arms were fitted, plus aluminium adjustable dampers and a race aluminium T-bar. A dual-circuit brake box was used, with Girling reservoirs for the individual brake circuits. As for the engine, Alfaholics’ Twin Spark ‘four’ was installed with big-valve head and race valve gear, billet rifle drilled cams, billet H-section conrods, forged pistons with a special coating, and 45mm Webers running with Alfaholics’ 3-D mapped ignition system. Its peak power of 216bhp is produced between 6800-7300rpm. The owner’s eye for detail extended to a non-standard front grille ‘heart’. An original heart was 3D laser scanned and used as the basis for a bespoke item that Alfaholics built from scratch. He even specified GTA-style inner door grab handles that also needed to be made from scratch and which were CNC machined from billet aerospace-grade aluminium. The finished car was painted in Alfa 147 Bianco Nuvola, which has a slight pearl finish to it, and even the Perspex headlight covers received hours of attention to ensure that they fitted correctly. After three years and over 12,000 miles – many of which were on-track – the owner took Spider-R 007 back to Alfaholics in 2013-14 in order for further upgrades to be carried out. These included a six-speed sequential gearbox, a programmable throttle body fuel injection system, and a Race Technology digital dash conversion. In the winter of 2015, the engine was fully rebuilt with new forged pistons and liners, new bearings, a head overhaul and further tweaks and fettles. To ensure this Spider was kept bang up to date, further upgrades were completed in 2022 to bestow the car with the very latest Alfaholics GTA-R enhancements. Now being offered for sale by The Classic Motor Hub, this beautifully engineered Alfa Romeo Spider was created with fastidious attention to detail, and is ready to thrill its next owner on road and track alike. MODEL HISTORY One of the most iconic and instantly recognisable of all classic cars, the Tipo 105/115 Alfa Romeo Spider was launched at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. Borrowing mechanical components from the 105 Series Giulia, the new Spider featured Pininfarina styling that won universal acclaim – plus a 1570cc twin-cam engine that was equally well received. It ran on twin Weber carburettors and drove through a five-speed gearbox. From the very beginning, the Spider was a premium product – in the UK, it cost almost as much as a Jaguar E-type – and in June 1968 it was upgraded into the 1750 Spider Veloce thanks to the fitment of a new 1779cc engine. In the same year, an ‘entry level’ Spider 1300 Junior was added to the range. The Series 2 Spider was introduced in 1970 and featured a redesigned rear that did away with the rounded tail of the original model and replaced it with sharper Kamm-style lines. A year later, the adoption of a new 132bhp, 1962cc version of the four-cylinder engine led to the creation of the 2000 Spider Veloce. Motor Sport magazine recorded a 0-60mph sprint of 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 120mph when it tested a 2000 Spider Veloce. Although it conceded that – by the time of its article in July 1977 – the Alfa was in certain respects somewhat dated, it added that ‘it is the last of the traditional, conventional Alfa line, and all the more enjoyable for it, a classical design in an age of increasing conformity.’ The Spider would, in fact, live on until the heavily facelifted, last-of-the-line Series 4, which was launched in 1990. Production eventually came to an end in 1993, after which an all-new front-wheel-drive Spider was introduced. Immortalised on the silver screen thanks to the appearance of a Series 1 1600 in The Graduate, the Alfa Romeo Spider is the epitome of the classic Italian sports car, with an intoxicating blend of chic style and charismatic twin-cam engine. 1977 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

By the early 1960s, road car production had ceased to be a sideline for Ferrari and was seen as vitally important to the company's future stability. Thus the 250, Ferrari's first volume-produced model, can be seen as critically important, though production of the first of the line - the 250 Europa, built from 1953 to '54 - amounted to fewer than 20. Before the advent of the Europa, Ferrari had built road-going coupés and convertibles in small numbers, usually to special customer order using a sports-racing chassis as the basis. Ghia and Vignale of Turin and Touring of Milan were responsible for bodying many of these but there was no attempt at standardisation for series production and no two cars were alike. 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. True series production began with the arrival of Pininfarina's 'notch back' Coupé on the 250 GT chassis, some 353 of which were built between 1958 and 1960 within the sequence '0841' to '2081'. However, the relatively small scale of production meant that cars could still be ordered with subtle variations according to customer choice, as well as enabling a handful of show cars and 'specials' to be constructed on the 250 GT chassis. A number of important developments occurred during 250 GT production: the original Colombo-designed 128C 3.0-litre engine being superseded by the twin-distributor 128D, which in turn was supplanted in 1960 by the outside-plug 128F engine which did away with its predecessor's Siamesed inlets in favour of six separate ports. On the chassis side, four-wheel disc brakes arrived late in 1959 and a four-speeds-plus-overdrive gearbox the following year, the former at last providing the 250 GT with stopping power to match its speed. More refined and practical than any previous road-going Ferrari, yet retaining the sporting heritage of its predecessors, the 250 GT is a landmark model of immense historical significance. Our car, #1629GT, is a Series 2 produced on December 15, 1959 in an elegant "Nero Tropicale" livery with a "Verde" interior and benefits from the latest evolutions of the type (disc brakes, 128F engine and overdrive). Its first owner was none other than Piero Portaluppi, a great architect of the Italian art deco and rationalist movement to whom we owe many achievements such as the famous Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan. Our Ferrari 250GT left the Europe for the United States where it remained until its return to the Netherlands in 1982. After a first owner completes a thorough restoration of the car in the expert hands of the great Ferrari specialist Piet Roelofs., it was soon bought by the secretary of the Dutch Ferrari Owners Club. Mr Kraak! It is during this restoration that the choice of the current color is made. We find our Ferrari in various rallies and competitions during all this period. In 2002 #1629GT enters on the French soil and passes between the hands of several collectors, before leaving for Greece a few years. It is “Michele” di Parigi, a great Ferrari connoisseur who will acquire our 250GT on behalf of its current owner in late 2010. Over the years its owner has undertaken regular maintenance and restoration work at Garage Super Sport to keep the car in perfect condition. Fine engine builder Gilbert Tissier has undertaken a total rebuild of the engine for a final result that delighted us during our road tests. The behavior of the car, the flexibility and the melody of the engine are an invitation to travel. An important file of invoices and documents from the period accompanies the car. In this elegant navy blue dress, #1629GT is probably one of the most desirable Ferrari 250GT on the market. 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

1 of the Most Documented 288 GTO's on the Planet. 2-Red Book Classiche's One of the Worlds Best 288 GTO Examples 2-Registered Owners 1 of the most documented 288's on the planet Paperwork back to new 2- Red Book Classiche's One of 2 288's Certified at the Factory Copy of Original Sales Contract from Charles Pozzi Copy of Original PDI Copies of service records back to 1986 Full Major service in 2023 at the Factory in Modena The 288 was born out of a vision to go FIA “Group B” racing. The 308 GTB was the basis for the 288. With Ferrari being under the Fiat umbrella during this time, Enzo was disappointed with the products that were coming out of Ferrari. Unfortunately the “Group B,” class was canceled in 1987 before the car was completed, but Enzo pressed on anyway. He enlisted the help of some of the engineers from Lanica to help turn the 308 GTB into a Group B racer with no limits. In order to have cars, “homologated,” to go racing, the manufacturer had to produce a certain amount of cars. They produced 272 288 GTO's in total which is the fewest amount of all of the super cars. If it wasn't for the 288 GTO, there wouldn't be an F40 and there wouldn't be an F50.
The 288 GTO was priced at $85,000 new. The 2 8 8 GTO is one of the most collectible modern super cars and it bears the, “GTO,” badge. The 288 GTO was born, “GTO” standing for “Grand Turismo Omologato,” which equates to, “Homoligation.” This was the second time in Ferrari's history that the, “GTO” moniker was used. The first being the 250 GTO back in 1962. The 288 was designed to push the engineering envelope. While doing that Enzo had a vision to make the car as light as possible. The 288 was the first Ferrari to incorporate the use of Carbon Kevlar composite body panels. This material was used on the hood and roof. The doors were aluminum and fiberglass was used on the front fascia and rear fascia. They managed to get the weight down to 1,160kg (2,555lbs), about 550lbs lighter than the 308 GTB. The 288 was shortened up, while the wheelbase was lengthened by 8”. The GTO had functional aero on the car with brake cooling scoops in the front and rear, vents to feed the IHI Turbo's and a dovetail spoiler for downforce which is also reminiscent to the 250 GTO rear as well as the 3 vertical vents on the rear quarter panel. The engine was a de-bored version of the 308 Tipo F160-V8, it was debored to 2,855cc's (2.9ltr) and renamed the F114B. The engine had dual overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, mated with lightweight connecting rods, nickisel coated liners and heads (to reduce friction). Ferrari looked to Japanese turbo manufacturer IHI to engineer the Turbos for this car as they did most of the rally cars. All of this equated to 400hp, 0-60mph in 5 seconds, 0-125mph in 15 seconds and a top speed of 190mph; effectively making this the fastest road going car. The engineers had to turn the engine from being, “horizontally,” mounted to, “longitudinally,” mounted in order to make additional room for the Turbo's. The suspension was planted at each corner with, “Koni” coil overs. While the brakes were Brembo disc brakes. The 288 was a road going race car and one of the most special Ferraris produced. The 288 cemented Ferrari's platform on the world stage as the cars at that time were far from optimal. As much of a race car for the street as they are, they are very amazing and docile to drive on the street. The 2-8-8 is very easy to drive normally, but depress the throttle hard and you feel the twin turbo's spool and plant you back in the Daytona Seats as you row through the 5-speed gated gear lever. Of the 272 288 GTO's produced, we have been involved with about 18 cars that we've had the pleasure of touching. For every one we acquire, we pass on probably 4 of them. Most of these cars were driven and have lots of mileage and have old repairs of damage that we discovered, in some cases the current owners never saw the damage as it was masked fairly well. Many of the cars we have inspected with low mileage have been clocked where odometers were unplugged, odometers replaced and no service history where you cannot corroborate the mileage. I've had the privilege of studying 288's and touching many examples, preparing them for many concours events such as Cavallino. I was invited by Cavallino to speak on a panel about 288 GTO's at the 2024 Cavallino Classic. In my professional opinion approximately 10% of the 272 examples are considered, “Investment Grade,” examples. What I mean by that is, having less than 10k kilometers, having documented service history and not having any negative connotations that accompany the car. Of that subset, about 10% have 5k kilometers or less, and all their original paint. When looking at 288's the rougher the paint, the more authentic the example as they were not a highpoint in paint finish for Ferrari. The 288 GTO is truly the first real Ferrari “Super Car / Halo Car”. These will be the first of the Halo cars to reach $10m, as they made the least amount of the 288 than any other Halo Car; the true “investment-grade” examples will be the first and will always carry a premium over the “non-investment grade” examples. There have been some public sales over the past two year;, we personally looked at two of the examples that made their way to the states and they all had negative issues on them from paintwork, mileage discrepancies, one had fire damage and it was still Classiche Certified. This particular example is a 2 registered -wner example. It was delivered new out of one of the oldest Ferrari dealers, Charles Pozzi. Pozzi was so close to Enzo that he named a famous color after the dealership, “Pozzi Blue”. This car was ordered with factory air-conditioning which is a must have option as well as Black Daytona seats. What this car has that most cars don't, paperwork. When all of the experts are gone, what is left to document a car? Paperwork, and if a car doesn't have it, you will have an uphill battle describing its history. This car has a copy of the original sales contract from Charles Pozzi to the original owner, it has receipts and warranty receipts from Pozzi back in 1986. It has fastidious service history, 100% original paint, factory inspection marks that are still visible and it only has 5,400 kilometers. This is also accompanied by its books which are stamped throughout its service life. This 288 underwent a full major service at the Ferrari Classiche Department in Italy in January 2023; it is in fact the “Only 288” to be certified at the factory. It has 2 Classiche Red Books, the most recent certification being performed at the factory. The second owner whom we acquired the car from was an “Executive Board Member” at Ferrari for 11 years and started, “Ferrari Financial Services”. He confirmed that this 288 GTO is in fact the “ONLY” 288 GTO to be certified by the Factory Classiche Department. This is hands down in the top 1% of 288 GTO examples for the world and is an automatic entry into any world concours event and is a significant piece of Ferrari history. There is not another example that we have seen as authentic as this. 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO GT Motor Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The 308 GTB was the basis for the 288. With Ferrari being under the Fiat umbrella during this time, Enzo was disappointed with the products that were coming out of Ferrari. Unfortunately the “Group B,” class was canceled in 1987 before the car was completed, but Enzo pressed on anyway. He enlisted the help of some of the engineers from Lanica to help turn the 308 GTB into a Group B racer with no limits. In order to have cars, “homologated,” to go racing, the manufacturer had to produce a certain amount of cars. They produced 272 288 GTO's in total which is the fewest amount of all of the super cars. If it wasn't for the 288 GTO, there wouldn't be an F40 and there wouldn't be an F50.
The 288 GTO was priced at $85,000 new. The 2 8 8 GTO is one of the most collectible modern super cars and it bears the, “GTO,” badge. The 288 GTO was born, “GTO” standing for “Grand Turismo Omologato,” which equates to, “Homoligation.” This was the second time in Ferrari's history that the, “GTO” moniker was used. The first being the 250 GTO back in 1962. The 288 was designed to push the engineering envelope. While doing that Enzo had a vision to make the car as light as possible. The 288 was the first Ferrari to incorporate the use of Carbon Kevlar composite body panels. This material was used on the hood and roof. The doors were aluminum and fiberglass was used on the front fascia and rear fascia. They managed to get the weight down to 1,160kg (2,555lbs), about 550lbs lighter than the 308 GTB. The 288 was shortened up, while the wheelbase was lengthened by 8”. The GTO had functional aero on the car with brake cooling scoops in the front and rear, vents to feed the IHI Turbo's and a dovetail spoiler for downforce which is also reminiscent to the 250 GTO rear as well as the 3 vertical vents on the rear quarter panel. The engine was a de-bored version of the 308 Tipo F160-V8, it was debored to 2,855cc's (2.9ltr) and renamed the F114B. The engine had dual overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, mated with lightweight connecting rods, nickisel coated liners and heads (to reduce friction). Ferrari looked to Japanese turbo manufacturer IHI to engineer the Turbos for this car as they did most of the rally cars. All of this equated to 400hp, 0-60mph in 5 seconds, 0-125mph in 15 seconds and a top speed of 190mph; effectively making this the fastest road going car. The engineers had to turn the engine from being, “horizontally,” mounted to, “longitudinally,” mounted in order to make additional room for the Turbo's. The suspension was planted at each corner with, “Koni” coil overs. While the brakes were Brembo disc brakes. The 288 was a road going race car and one of the most special Ferraris produced. The 288 cemented Ferrari's platform on the world stage as the cars at that time were far from optimal. As much of a race car for the street as they are, they are very amazing and docile to drive on the street. The 2-8-8 is very easy to drive normally, but depress the throttle hard and you feel the twin turbo's spool and plant you back in the Daytona Seats as you row through the 5-speed gated gear lever. Of the 272 288 GTO's produced, we have been involved with about 18 cars that we've had the pleasure of touching. For every one we acquire, we pass on probably 4 of them. Most of these cars were driven and have lots of mileage and have old repairs of damage that we discovered, in some cases the current owners never saw the damage as it was masked fairly well. Many of the cars we have inspected with low mileage have been clocked where odometers were unplugged, odometers replaced and no service history where you cannot corroborate the mileage. I've had the privilege of studying 288's and touching many examples, preparing them for many concours events such as Cavallino. I was invited by Cavallino to speak on a panel about 288 GTO's at the 2024 Cavallino Classic. In my professional opinion approximately 10% of the 272 examples are considered, “Investment Grade,” examples. What I mean by that is, having less than 10k kilometers, having documented service history and not having any negative connotations that accompany the car. Of that subset, about 10% have 5k kilometers or less, and all their original paint. When looking at 288's the rougher the paint, the more authentic the example as they were not a highpoint in paint finish for Ferrari. The 288 GTO is truly the first real Ferrari “Super Car / Halo Car”. These will be the first of the Halo cars to reach $10m, as they made the least amount of the 288 than any other Halo Car; the true “investment-grade” examples will be the first and will always carry a premium over the “non-investment grade” examples. There have been some public sales over the past two year;, we personally looked at two of the examples that made their way to the states and they all had negative issues on them from paintwork, mileage discrepancies, one had fire damage and it was still Classiche Certified. This particular example is a 2 registered -wner example. It was delivered new out of one of the oldest Ferrari dealers, Charles Pozzi. Pozzi was so close to Enzo that he named a famous color after the dealership, “Pozzi Blue”. This car was ordered with factory air-conditioning which is a must have option as well as Black Daytona seats. What this car has that most cars don't, paperwork.

Highlights for this car - One of 355 L Series Dinos built from 1969-1970 - Restored in factory ordered Russo Rubino with Nero Interior - Correct Cromodora Knock-Off Wheels, Wood Steering Wheel, and Alloy Body Features General Overview Designed by the legendary Leonardo Fioravanti, responsible for some of the greatest Ferrari designs while at Pininfarina, the original 206 Dino GT was a delightful design combining a curvaceous body and innovative performance engineering inspired by racing successes Ferrari had achieved with their mid-engine prototypes. The heart of the Dino was the compact 65-degree V6 engine displacing 1987cc. With triple Weber 40DCF carburetors, the engine offered 160hp, a potent amount for a lightweight two-liter car. The transverse mid-engine design mated with a 5-speed transaxle offered spirited acceleration, besting many larger displacement competitors. Attributed in name to the tragically lost Dino Ferrari, son of Enzo, the Dino brand would launch Ferrari into higher volume production and world-wide acclaim with this affordable offering. Shortly after release, the 206 advanced to the larger displacement 246 Dino GT as public demand grew and production output increased for the mid-engine car. The 246, stamped in steel using higher volume practices, would become one of the most popular sports cars of the period. Europe and America loved the sleek bodywork and nimble performance, responding with record sales and accolades with sustained popularity lasting more than 50 years after the Dino was first introduced. Early production 246 Dinos are referred to as “L Series” cars, uniquely produced in 1969 and 1970, retaining as much of the original lines and features inspired by the 1965 Paris Salon 206 GT Speciale and Pininfarina 1966 Turin Salon Dino Berlinetta GT. Over the years, L Series examples have become more sought after due to their clean and pure body design, elegant detailing, and production rarity. Distinct L Series features include slimmer front and rear bumpers, an external boot lid release button, triple-ear knock-off wheels, wood-rim steering wheels, head rests mounted on the rear bulkhead, roll up window cranks, no air conditioning, and lightweight alloy doors, hood, and decklids. These features resulted in a lighter car overall with spirited acceleration in keeping with the original 1966 concept Salon Dino. History of this L Series Dino Delivered new to the first owner in Switzerland in October 1969, chassis number 00522 is one of 355 ‘L Series’ cars constructed during the period when the 246 Dino was transitioning production to higher volume all steel construction. Many of the desirable L Series features contribute to the rarity of these cars, but, at the time of delivery, the rarity of this sub-group of cars remained largely unknown to collectors. Over time, this series has become highly sought after. Originally finished in the elegant and rare color Rosso Dino (20-R-350) the interior was trimmed in black vinyl (Nero 161) including the L Series rear bulkhead mounted headrests. Having arrived in North America by the 1970s, the car is known to have been in Texas through the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, the engine reportedly dropped a valve, and the car was subsequently placed in dry storage awaiting necessary mechanical attention. The next owner purchased the car intending to repair it but was unable to complete the work. The car was then purchased by a well-known midwest Ferrari parts supplier and subsequently purchased by a collector in 2012 who commissioned a full restoration. During the restoration, the owner was meticulous about locating the very best OEM or original parts as possible. Many of these components were purchased from expert Dino parts authorities including the former owner of the car. Parts purchases were well over $60,000, rebuild costs recorded at $50,000, with an additional $150,000 was spent on cosmetics. After more than three years in restoration, the completed car was offered at auction in 2017 and sold to the current owner. Under current owner care, the car was assigned to a restorer who wanted this Dino to achieve a Platinum award under Ferrari concours judging. Although this Dino was completed to a high level of finish, it has not been entered in concours judging. General Condition Today this Dino presents in excellent condition with a beautiful, smooth, and glossy paint surface. The paint has excellent coverage and depth, however there is minor paint bridging in selected areas. Overall, the finish has been properly detailed and professionally prepared both when it was restored and under the care of prior and current owners. The doors shut with a crisp latch and hold position flush to the body surfaces, though the passenger side lower door corner sits slightly proud of the body surface. Both the front lid, engine, and trunk lids open and close properly. The chrome trim is excellent overall on the top surfaces of the bumpers and the bumpers are mounted using correct hardware. The side view mirror, window molding, emblems, and badges are all in excellent condition. Glass lenses and turn indicator lenses are also in beautiful condition and properly detailed. The Cromodora wheels are correctly refinished and maintain excellent luster featuring correctly sized Michelin XWX radial tires. The wheels are mounted with single hub chrome plated triple ear center knockoffs, unique to the early L Series Dinos. The black interior creates a subtle understated elegance against the exterior body color. Not only are the seating and door panel surfaces supple, clean, and nicely presented, the original early seating architecture featuring rear bulkhead suspended headrests and perimeter seat bolsters are beautifully finished with correct foam structure, solid stitching, and smooth coloration. Red and black Daytona seat inserts offer a further sporting touch to the interior. Carpeting, headliner, and side trim panels are in excellent condition as are the mouse fur dash color and black interior accents. The center console is very nicely presented with the 5-speed gated shift plate, signature Dino details, and correct electric switches. The delightful array of gauges located in the instrument binnacle is in excellent condition with bright numeric indication and white needles. The finishing touch is the warm-toned factory correct wood rim steering wheel featuring alloy spokes and a bright yellow Dino center emblem. In all, the desirable interior presents as a handsome pairing to this stunning L Series, making it the perfect partner to the curvaceous Pininfarina designed, Scaglietti coachbuilt body. Under the hood, the transverse Dino V6 engine has been thoughtfully prepared and beautifully detailed with originality in mind. While a correct type engine for an early 246GT, the engine number appears to be from a batch just after this chassis number range, and one of the cylinder heads is a later series unit. The transmission number falls exactly in sequence to the chassis number and the remaining engine components are authentic to this series Dino. The earlier series raw alloy engine castings are honest, clean, and unpretentious, reflective of the mechanical beauty and natural casting finishes. The rear trunk area is nicely restored, and the front storage compartment features a full-sized spare tire with matching wheel, and a correct inner molded tub. The underside of the car is finished to a high level of detail, worthy of show presentation. No evidence of damage or structural compromise has been noted in the chassis and all suspension mounting points, suspension components, and exhaust are correct with correct hardware and mounting brackets. Driving this Dino, one is reminded of the very pleasant balance achieved with the mid-engine layout and V6 power. The gearbox shifts smoothly, and power comes on strong in each gear, pulling through low rpms and delighting drivers with a wide powerband and delightful sounds particularly in the higher rev range. Braking and suspension are responsive for the era, modestly improved by a set of correctly sized Michelin XWX tires showing ample tread. The 246 Dino GT-L offers many of the very best features of a vintage Ferrari while reminding anyone who appreciates a modern Ferrari that this is the modern sports car that established the formula for decades of future mid-engine Ferraris. With its stunning Pininfarina design, Scaglietti coachwork, beautiful color combination, rare one of 355 L Series production numbers, and nimble performance capability, this 246 Dino stands today as an enduring passionate Father’s salute to the vision of his young son Dino Ferrari - a rolling sculpture celebrating their mutual dedication to sports cars and a lasting legacy of uncompromising beauty. Included with this 246 Dino This Dino is accompanied by a jack, an assortment of tools, a knock off mallet, a wheel chock, and two fuse box covers. 1970 Ferrari 246 GT L Series Dino Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
