Unrestored Pininfarina Designed Flaminia Coupe, Equipped With The 2.5-Liter V6 and Offered With ASI Certification, Original Tool Kit, and Original Registration Docs. Seller Asking: €37,000 The Lancia Flaminia is a luxury flagship car produced by the Italian manufacturer between 1957 and 1970. Named after the ancient Roman road from Rome to Rimini, the Flaminia was available in multiple body styles designed and built by some of Italy’s most legendary coachbuilders. Although many aspects of the Flaminia were based on the outgoing Aurelia, significant changes were made under the car, including a whole new front suspension with double wishbones and coil springs. With more than 12,600 Flaminias produced over the car’s 13-year run, it bucked the trend in Italy, with the coupe outselling the sedan by a significant margin. This 1960 Lancia Flaminia Coupe is a beautiful unrestored example that has been carefully preserved over the last 63 years by just three owners. Finished in an attractive shade of smoke gray, the Flaminia coupe’s Pininfarina body is the epitome of 1960s Italian elegance with its combination of straight lines and gentle curves. The rear end is a stunning design, with spire-like triangular tail lights sitting on a pair of short fender fins that then carry into the roof, creating a uniquely inset rear window. Even the wheels are covered in a set of classic disc-style hubcaps that feature numerous stepped layers and have tremendous depth compared to other hubcaps of the time. On the inside, the seats are covered in soft oatmeal cloth and comprise a pair of bucket seats up front and a bench in the rear. The interior is outstandingly simple, yet every element is carefully thought through, not just to do its job but to look beautiful. The speedometer in itself is a work of art, with a simple typeface to tell your speed, and on the inner ring, 4 auxiliary gauges that show oil temperature, fuel level, water temperature, and oil pressure. This turns what would be a rather basic gauge into a dial that looks like a fine chronograph watch, and everything is expertly implemented. Powering the Flaminia is Lancia’s famous V6- well known for being the first-ever V6 in a production car. In this Flaminia, the V6 displaces 2,500cc, features a single downdraft carburetor, and is rated at 117 horsepower. This engine is known for its mechanical sophistication and racecar-like noise when uncorked. Connected to the engine is a 4-speed manual transaxle mounted in the rear of the car. This makes for excellent weight distribution and neutral handling when enjoying a drive on your favorite back road. Even with its beautiful design, elegant interior, and technically advanced mechanicals, the Flamina Coupe remains an under-appreciated classic and a true value in the collector car world. This Flaminia coupe is offered with ASI Historical Certification, original registration documents, original Italian license plates, original tool kit, and jack- all uncommon accessories typically lost to time. This is an exceptional example, given its overall originality and condition throughout, and it will be a wonderful addition to any garage. 1960 Lancia Flaminia Pininfarina ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Escort RS Turbo Series 1 was specifically developed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering team to set new standards in Group N and Group A motorsport events, and was quickly dubbed ‘the car to beat’. Ford initially planned to build 5,000 examples, the minimum number required for Homologation in Group A, however, a total of 8,604 were built due to increased demand. Only available in Diamond White, the car was greeted with huge enthusiasm and was only sold through official Rallye Sport dealers. The engine utilised was a 1600 CVH unit modified to suit the higher loads and the application of a turbocharger, whilst also benefiting from computerised fuel injection and engine management incorporating boost control, producing a healthy 132bhp. It was the first front-wheel drive road car in the world to use a compact viscous-coupling design LSD instead of a normal mechanical LSD, which greatly improved cornering and drivability. Aesthetically, the RS Turbo's distinctive sporty appearance was enhanced with a body-coloured front grille, bumpers and aerodynamic aids. The interior was trimmed in a combination of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and Recaro LS bucket seats were fitted as standard. On offer here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example that on offer from a significant private collection of Fast Fords. The odometer shows just 32,962 miles and the car presents nicely overall, indeed, the vendor describes it as "an honest usable car that’s one for the enthusiast to use and enjoy". Offered with a UK V5C, its history file and a fresh MOT in time for the sale, this smart example appears to offer superb value and we encourage all interested parties to come and see the car for themselves at the NEC. With Sierras, Escorts and now the inevitable Focus all seeing substantial increases in value in recent years, the market for Performance Fords from this period never seems to cool down, This lovely example would be equally at home within any collection of nostalgic 80s 'rocket-ships' or being driven and enjoyed as all sporting cars should be. 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The early 1970s represented a period of relative upheaval for Porsche in racing terms, with the outlawing of the all-conquering 917 at the end of 1971 leading the company to focus their efforts on the development of a new Group 4 racing version of the incumbent 911 model. Strict homologation requirements necessitated that 500 street-legal examples be constructed to obtain FIA approval; a figure which the manufacturer’s marketing department initially had grave reservations as to whether they would be able to sell. Ultimately, their concerns proved unfounded, for the new 210 horsepower, 150 mph Carrera RS 2.7 proved an immediate hit upon its launch at the 1972 Paris Motor Show—with demand ultimately exceeding the homologation requirement by a factor of three. Such was the interest that the new model was effectively subdivided into two: the M472 “Touring” version, and the pared-down M471 “Sport”—or Lightweight. While the former offered comparatively civilised everyday motoring and certain creature comforts, the Lightweight version was minimalist in the extreme and almost 100 kilograms lighter: thinner exterior panel work, thinner glass, minimal carpeting, racing seats, and non-opening rear windows being just some of the most obvious weight-saving modifications. Unsurprisingly, the Touring version proved the more popular seller, with some 1,380 cars being constructed, but it is its Lightweight sibling—of which just 200 were made—which enjoys justifiably enhanced collector status. One of just 17 right-hand drive RS 2.7 Lightweights constructed, chassis 9113600446 was completed at Zuffenhausen in January 1973, duly finished in the archetypal RS colour scheme of Grand Prix White with blue decals and wheel inserts. Additionally specified with the desirable limited-slip differential and heated rear window options, the car had been ordered—via UK Porsche importers AFN Limited—by esteemed London-based gentleman driver and classic car dealer Dan Margulies with competition use in mind. Although Romanian by birth, Margulies had moved to London in his teens, and had emerged as a consistent and accomplished driver on the burgeoning British Club Racing scene of the early 1950s. Initially competing in a Talbot 105 and a Delahaye 135M, 1954 proved to be Margulies’ breakout season; his purchase of a Lotus VIII—and subsequent employment as an early Team Lotus driver—being followed by his acquisition of a Jaguar C-Type later that year. For 1955, Margulies and a then little-known Graham Hill planned an ambitious season at the wheel of the C-Type, encompassing the Grands Prix of Agadir, Dakar, Spa, and Bari and the 10 Hours of Messina, in Sicily. A truncated 1956 campaign saw Margulies share the C-Type with fellow “Lotuseer”—and future Ferrari loyalist—David Piper in the Targa Florio; this representing the former’s first of five appearances in the great race. A preference for long-distance—and, preferably, road course based—competition led to Margulies focussing on events such as the Tour de France, the Circuito del Mugello, and the Targa Florio. In 1964, he shared a Ferrari 250 GTO with Piper on the former, eventually finishing a fine fourth, while in 1967 he finished 11th overall—and second in class—on the Targa Florio, sharing a Porsche 911S with Rob Mackie. Upon its arrival on British shores in February 1973, “0446” was promptly registered with the UK licence plate PGF 270L. Never one to pass up a challenge, Margulies immediately entered the car in that year’s Targa Florio; the epic near-800-kilometre event being but three months away at this point. Significantly, the campaign was to be underwritten by Canadian industrialist and Corinthian sportsman Chuck Rathgeb, who was slated to share the car with Margulies himself and experienced former BMC factory driver Andrew Hedges. As patron of the Toronto-based Comstock Racing Team, Rathgeb had previously entered a variety of cars—including an AC Cobra, Shelby GT350, and two Ford GT40s—principally for Canadian drivers Eppie Wietzes and John Cannon, although Jochen Rindt and Innes Ireland had bolstered the team’s GT40 campaign at Le Mans in 1966. As a sometime GT40 driver himself—and sharing a common interest in bobsleighing and offshore powerboat racing with his new Team Patron—it is entirely plausible that it was Hedges who provided the initial introduction between Rathgeb and Margulies. However, despite the Targa race entry for “0446” being duly completed in the name of Comstock Racing Team, and Rathgeb joining both co-drivers in Sicily for the reconnaissance laps, it was decided before the race that the team’s primary backer lacked the necessary familiarity with the 72-kilometre “Piccolo Madonie” lap to embark upon the race. Consequently, the team would revert to a conventional two-driver lineup; Margulies and Hedges joining a star-studded entry list which included the likes of Ickx/Redman and Merzario/Vaccarella in Scuderia Ferrari-entered Ferrari 312PBs, Stommelen/de Adamich and Regazzoni/Facetti in Autodelta-run Alfa Romeo T33/TT/12s and Müller/van Lennep and Kinnunen/Haldi in factory-entered Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs. Having qualified a creditable 54th out of 115 cars entered, “0446” and its drivers acquitted themselves admirably in the race by finishing an impressive 18th overall, and fourth in the over 2-litre GT category. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rigours of the Sicilian roads put paid to the combined Alfa Romeo-Ferrari Prototype challenge, with all four cars retiring before half-distance due to either mechanical failure or accidents. However, the event proved a resounding success for Porsche, with van Lennep and Müller taking overall victory in their Prototype RSR, Kinnunen and Haldi finishing third, and the Scuderia Brescia Corse-entered Production RSR winning the over 2-litre GT class. Significantly, 1973 marked the last of Porsche’s record 11 wins in the event, and the final time that the Targa Florio formed a points-scoring round of the World Sportscar Championship. Upon its triumphant return from Sicily, Margulies retained “0446” for a short time until its sale—via Porsche dealership Peter Lovett—in early 1975 to Belfast-based Porsche agent Reggie McSpadden. A prominent competitor on the Northern Ireland Rally scene, McSpadden duly prepared the car for the Special Stages, and it is understood that it contested the Circuit of Ireland, Texaco, and Donegal Rallies with it later that year. Regrettably, however, the final results of each event are not known. In 1976, McSpadden sold “0446” to fellow Ulsterman Esler Crawford; the car being re-registered with the distinctive licence plate KOI 7 at this juncture. Despite competing extensively as a co-driver in the 1960s, Crawford entrusted the car to brothers Derek and Adrian Boyd and their respective co-drivers over the course of the next three seasons, rather than navigating himself. Initially competing under its new ownership with Adrian Boyd at the wheel, “0446” finished a fine fourth overall on the 1976 Ulster International Rally, with Porsche RSR or RS derivatives filling the first five places overall. From 1977 onwards, driving duties were taken over by Boyd’s younger brother Derek, who would drive “0446” on no fewer than ten occasions. In his hands, it took a superb outright win—against the likes of Rally giants Hannu Mikkola, Pentti Airikkala, and Jimmy McRae—on the 1977 Ulster Rally, with further noteworthy placings of third and fourth being achieved in that year’s Donegal and Manx Rallies respectively. Effectively retired from competitive rallying at the end of 1978, “0446” was entrusted to marque specialist Francis Tuthill for a comprehensive rebuild between 1995 and 1998, with strenuous efforts being made to preserve its enviable originality. In 2007, after some thirty-one years of continuous ownership, Crawford took the painful decision to part with “0446”; his reluctance to do so eased marginally by the knowledge that it was joining the appropriately discerning UK-based collection of sometime British GT Championship competitor—and longtime ex-Kremer team Carrera RSR 2.8 owner—Mike Burtt. In the latter’s custody the car was used occasionally and sympathetically; only comparatively modest mileage being added to the remarkably low figure of 45,000 which it displayed at the time of his purchase. Acquired by the consigning owner in 2022, “0446” has continued to be used extremely sparingly in recent years; its odometer figure having increased only marginally to just under 52,300 miles at the time of cataloguing. Resplendent once again in its Comstock livery, and with its original UK registration and Targa Florio start numbers rightfully reinstated, “0446” appears now just as it did on the start line at Cerda more than half a century ago. As if to celebrate its remarkable history—and underline its no less remarkable originality—an Automobile Club Palermo scrutineering sticker dated 13 May 1973 still adorns its driver’s side rear window, while the car’s accompanying history file includes its original AFN purchase invoice, maintenance books, and wallet. Incredibly, the original Targa Florio entry paperwork, race programme, drivers’ and mechanics’ armbands, and even a copy of the Lloyd’s of London Motor Racing Insurance certificate have all also been retained; this a fitting testament to the fastidious preservation and ownership which “0446” has always enjoyed. That the Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight is among the most desirable of all road-legal Porsche 911 variants is beyond doubt; any one of the 17 right-hand drive examples being rightly viewed as even more so. However, in the case of this impeccably well-preserved, well documented, and highly historic example, a compelling case can be made for it being one of the most significant customer specification RS variants ever to have been offered for sale, rendering this an opportunity unlikely to be repeated for many years to come.

Unsurprisingly, the Touring version proved the more popular seller, with some 1,380 cars being constructed, but it is its Lightweight sibling—of which just 200 were made—which enjoys justifiably enhanced collector status. One of just 17 right-hand drive RS 2.7 Lightweights constructed, chassis 9113600446 was completed at Zuffenhausen in January 1973, duly finished in the archetypal RS colour scheme of Grand Prix White with blue decals and wheel inserts. Additionally specified with the desirable limited-slip differential and heated rear window options, the car had been ordered—via UK Porsche importers AFN Limited—by esteemed London-based gentleman driver and classic car dealer Dan Margulies with competition use in mind. Although Romanian by birth, Margulies had moved to London in his teens, and had emerged as a consistent and accomplished driver on the burgeoning British Club Racing scene of the early 1950s. Initially competing in a Talbot 105 and a Delahaye 135M, 1954 proved to be Margulies’ breakout season; his purchase of a Lotus VIII—and subsequent employment as an early Team Lotus driver—being followed by his acquisition of a Jaguar C-Type later that year. For 1955, Margulies and a then little-known Graham Hill planned an ambitious season at the wheel of the C-Type, encompassing the Grands Prix of Agadir, Dakar, Spa, and Bari and the 10 Hours of Messina, in Sicily. A truncated 1956 campaign saw Margulies share the C-Type with fellow “Lotuseer”—and future Ferrari loyalist—David Piper in the Targa Florio; this representing the former’s first of five appearances in the great race. A preference for long-distance—and, preferably, road course based—competition led to Margulies focussing on events such as the Tour de France, the Circuito del Mugello, and the Targa Florio. In 1964, he shared a Ferrari 250 GTO with Piper on the former, eventually finishing a fine fourth, while in 1967 he finished 11th overall—and second in class—on the Targa Florio, sharing a Porsche 911S with Rob Mackie. Upon its arrival on British shores in February 1973, “0446” was promptly registered with the UK licence plate PGF 270L. Never one to pass up a challenge, Margulies immediately entered the car in that year’s Targa Florio; the epic near-800-kilometre event being but three months away at this point. Significantly, the campaign was to be underwritten by Canadian industrialist and Corinthian sportsman Chuck Rathgeb, who was slated to share the car with Margulies himself and experienced former BMC factory driver Andrew Hedges. As patron of the Toronto-based Comstock Racing Team, Rathgeb had previously entered a variety of cars—including an AC Cobra, Shelby GT350, and two Ford GT40s—principally for Canadian drivers Eppie Wietzes and John Cannon, although Jochen Rindt and Innes Ireland had bolstered the team’s GT40 campaign at Le Mans in 1966. As a sometime GT40 driver himself—and sharing a common interest in bobsleighing and offshore powerboat racing with his new Team Patron—it is entirely plausible that it was Hedges who provided the initial introduction between Rathgeb and Margulies. However, despite the Targa race entry for “0446” being duly completed in the name of Comstock Racing Team, and Rathgeb joining both co-drivers in Sicily for the reconnaissance laps, it was decided before the race that the team’s primary backer lacked the necessary familiarity with the 72-kilometre “Piccolo Madonie” lap to embark upon the race. Consequently, the team would revert to a conventional two-driver lineup; Margulies and Hedges joining a star-studded entry list which included the likes of Ickx/Redman and Merzario/Vaccarella in Scuderia Ferrari-entered Ferrari 312PBs, Stommelen/de Adamich and Regazzoni/Facetti in Autodelta-run Alfa Romeo T33/TT/12s and Müller/van Lennep and Kinnunen/Haldi in factory-entered Porsche 911 Carrera RSRs. Having qualified a creditable 54th out of 115 cars entered, “0446” and its drivers acquitted themselves admirably in the race by finishing an impressive 18th overall, and fourth in the over 2-litre GT category. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rigours of the Sicilian roads put paid to the combined Alfa Romeo-Ferrari Prototype challenge, with all four cars retiring before half-distance due to either mechanical failure or accidents. However, the event proved a resounding success for Porsche, with van Lennep and Müller taking overall victory in their Prototype RSR, Kinnunen and Haldi finishing third, and the Scuderia Brescia Corse-entered Production RSR winning the over 2-litre GT class. Significantly, 1973 marked the last of Porsche’s record 11 wins in the event, and the final time that the Targa Florio formed a points-scoring round of the World Sportscar Championship. Upon its triumphant return from Sicily, Margulies retained “0446” for a short time until its sale—via Porsche dealership Peter Lovett—in early 1975 to Belfast-based Porsche agent Reggie McSpadden. A prominent competitor on the Northern Ireland Rally scene, McSpadden duly prepared the car for the Special Stages, and it is understood that it contested the Circuit of Ireland, Texaco, and Donegal Rallies with it later that year. Regrettably, however, the final results of each event are not known. In 1976, McSpadden sold “0446” to fellow Ulsterman Esler Crawford; the car being re-registered with the distinctive licence plate KOI 7 at this juncture. Despite competing extensively as a co-driver in the 1960s, Crawford entrusted the car to brothers Derek and Adrian Boyd and their respective co-drivers over the course of the next three seasons, rather than navigating himself. Initially competing under its new ownership with Adrian Boyd at the wheel, “0446” finished a fine fourth overall on the 1976 Ulster International Rally, with Porsche RSR or RS derivatives filling the first five places overall. From 1977 onwards, driving duties were taken over by Boyd’s younger brother Derek, who would drive “0446” on no fewer than ten occasions. In his hands, it took a superb outright win—against the likes of Rally giants Hannu Mikkola, Pentti Airikkala, and Jimmy McRae—on the 1977 Ulster Rally, with further noteworthy placings of third and fourth being achieved in that year’s Donegal and Manx Rallies respectively. Effectively retired from competitive rallying at the end of 1978, “0446” was entrusted to marque specialist Francis Tuthill for a comprehensive rebuild between 1995 and 1998, with strenuous efforts being made to preserve its enviable originality. In 2007, after some thirty-one years of continuous ownership, Crawford took the painful decision to part with “0446”; his reluctance to do so eased marginally by the knowledge that it was joining the appropriately discerning UK-based collection of sometime British GT Championship competitor—and longtime ex-Kremer team Carrera RSR 2.8 owner—Mike Burtt. In the latter’s custody the car was used occasionally and sympathetically; only comparatively modest mileage being added to the remarkably low figure of 45,000 which it displayed at the time of his purchase. Acquired by the consigning owner in 2022, “0446” has continued to be used extremely sparingly in recent years; its odometer figure having increased only marginally to just under 52,300 miles at the time of cataloguing. Resplendent once again in its Comstock livery, and with its original UK registration and Targa Florio start numbers rightfully reinstated, “0446” appears now just as it did on the start line at Cerda more than half a century ago. As if to celebrate its remarkable history—and underline its no less remarkable originality—an Automobile Club Palermo scrutineering sticker dated 13 May 1973 still adorns its driver’s side rear window, while the car’s accompanying history file includes its original AFN purchase invoice, maintenance books, and wallet. Incredibly, the original Targa Florio entry paperwork, race programme, drivers’ and mechanics’ armbands, and even a copy of the Lloyd’s of London Motor Racing Insurance certificate have all also been retained; this a fitting testament to the fastidious preservation and ownership which “0446” has always enjoyed. That the Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight is among the most desirable of all road-legal Porsche 911 variants is beyond doubt; any one of the 17 right-hand drive examples being rightly viewed as even more so. However, in the case of this impeccably well-preserved, well documented, and highly historic example, a compelling case can be made for it being one of the most significant customer specification RS variants ever to have been offered for sale, rendering this an opportunity unlikely to be repeated for many years to come.

The year 1989 will always remain a memorable year in Porsche's history. It was the last year in which the 2nd generation 911, the "G" model, was sold before it was replaced by the 964. The model was available in 3 body variants: the Coupe, the Targa, and the Cabriolet. In the final year, Porsche introduced another variant of the Cabriolet in 1989, the Speedster. The interest in the 1989 911 Speedster, along with its price, has reached almost mythical proportions. As an alternative, we can offer you this car: a 911 Cabriolet WTL (Werks Turbo Look M491) G-50. The original factory WTL package was an expensive option, so expensive that the price of the car approached that of the Turbo, making it relatively scarce. The car was originally ordered in the US, California, in the "Sonderfarbe" Satin Black, a color that could only be ordered at an additional cost, climate controle, cruise-controle, electric roof and more. The first and only owner drove 62,000 miles with her 911 before selling it to a Dutch collector in 2015. The car comes with plenty of preserved documentation, including the original booklets, confirming the accuracy of the mileage and the fact that the car has a damage-free history. The presence of all the stickers that Porsche applied to the car during the production process and a clean Carfax report also confirm this. Simply because the new owner preferred it, he had the lighting and the large rubber blocks on the rear bumper converted to European specifications. He also converted the mileage meter from miles to kilometers, with the original miles converted and documented. The car looks and drives just like new. The 911 Cabrio WTL is rare, and this immaculate example is a sought-after model for investors and collectors. But it's also a great opportunity for anyone who simply wants to enjoy this superb car on the road. 1989 Porsche 911 Veni Vidi Vici Classic Cars BV If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

We are delighted to offer for sale a truly exceptional example of Alfa Romeo’s much-loved Spider. You would be hard pressed to find a better-quality car anywhere. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spiders were produced in 4 Series and originally penned by Pininfarina himself. It is arguably one of the most appealing Alfa Romeo designs to date and remained in production between 1966 and 1994. Our car is the second incarnation of the original design where the famous ‘Kamm Tail’ replaced the rounded design of the first series cars. Records we have confirmed it is a matching numbers car and was manufactured on 24th September 1973 and delivered to Alfa Romeo Australia in October that year. The body colour was Alfa Rosso Farina 514 with a black interior which it still presents with today. Sold in Brisbane by John French on 19 April 1974, ‘Bella’ as she is affectionally known by her owner even retains her original number plate. The provenance of this car is nothing short of exceptional. It comes with its original service logbook and full maintenance history with a thick folder of records and receipts with two sets of complete supplied keys. The car has had only 3 owners from new, the first for 22 years and the second for 25 years. All three owners are in Brisbane and still alive. The current and previous owners are both fastidious Alfisti and the car reflects the attention and investment made. The current owner acquired the car in 2021 and took what was already a great car and made it an exceptional one. Work conducted included a back to metal respray, seats re-upholstered, premium carpets including the boot, door handles, grill, headlights, the fitment of the highest quality mohair hood on a freshly powder coated hood frame, refurbished Dellorto carbs, replacement of various seals, hoses and bushes, springs and shock absorbers. The list goes on and on….and totalled over $50,000 in investment. The result is a car of concours standard, underlined by recent wins at the consecutive 2023 and 2024 ‘Alfesta’, this being the national Alfa Romeo owners club meeting, where the car was awarded ‘Best Alfa Romeo’ and ‘Best Interstate Alfa Romeo’. The paint on the car has been applied extremely well and the finish is nothing short of beautiful. Crucially the panel gaps across the whole car are excellent and doors and boot close as they should with seals being correctly applied. When the paint was removed in preparation for its new application no corrosion was found or any evidence of any historical panel work. All these signals point to a car of excellence. Start the engine and you immediately know you are in an Alfa Romeo. The 2 litre engine fires up with that familiar growl and then you are away. Out on the open road this car drives without fault with plenty of go from the engine and pin sharp handling and braking. This car whilst in outstanding order has been driven including recent trips of over 500 kms, meaning it has been fettled and is perfectly reliable. The engine bay is pin sharp as you would expect from an example of this quality. The interior is a lovely place to be. The original wooden steering wheel greets the eye and the classic dash is very appealing. The instruments have been refurbished and are perfect, and the dash is without fault. The seats have been recovered as per original and are like new. A full quality carpet set finishes the interior off beautifully. All the switches are spot on. Wherever you look this car has been faithfully restored using either correct parts or refurbished originals. The attention to detail is incredible. The new, correct type of mohair hood is fitted and is as new and the hood frame has been restored too. The car wears its correct wheels which have been refurbished with fresh tyres and look wonderful. As expected, the boot is in excellent condition with fresh paint including to the wheel well. Its original jack has been restored and there is a tool kit too. Underneath the car is in wonderful order being clean and in exceptional original condition. For the new owner this presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a stunning example of an ever-popular Alfa Romeo which ticks all the boxes, provenance, condition and quality. Work conducted on the car has been documented and carried out by the best in the business and it continues to be maintained by known specialists who are available to provide references. This is a collector quality car and available for considerably less than it would require investing in a restoration to bring a car up to this standard. Over and above this is what sets it apart being its history and provenance and this makes the car truly special. As expected, it is recently serviced and ready for its next owner to enjoy. 1973 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Often cited as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever built, Maserati Ghibli designer Giorgetto Giugiaro created this design at the onset of his prodigious yet brief career with Ghia. Not content to rest on his already significant successes while at Bertone, by the time he arrived at Ghia, he was eagerly developing designs that would break away from the rounded forms of the early 50s and 60s. In 1966, one of his most prolific years, Giugiaro delivered four of the most critically acclaimed designs of the decade, the finest among them being the Maserati Ghibli. Named for the warm, high-speed exotic desert winds, the chiseled Ghibli debuted at the 1966 Turin Motor Show gaining immediate acclaim as the most refined and elegant of Giugiaro’s advanced linear and aggressive designs. The Ghibli featured a fresh, trend setting body design, brimming with some of the most advanced mechanical features available for any road car. Maserati initially outfitted the Ghibli with their race-bred 306 hp dry-sump 4.7-liter quad-cam V8, topped by four Weber carburetors, coupled to a ZF five-speed manual transmission and limited slip differential. Capable drivers could reach 60 mph in less than seven seconds with handling reported as among the best of the period. Dramatically low and wide, the 4-wheel disc brake equipped Ghibli was further improved in 1969 with the upgraded 4.9-liter engine (as equipped on this car). Under the SS designation, power increased to 330hp, making it the fastest Maserati volume-production car ever built, capable of 170+ mph and improved 0-60 times. Production for the SS series Ghibli Coupe was limited to just 425 examples. According to the Maserati factory certificate of authenticity (No. 30/2013) further supported by accompanying factory records, this Ghibli was built in September 1971, finished in Celeste Chiaro (metallic blue), trimmed with black leather interior, and outfitted with “Fuse” Campagnolo wheels. Documentation accompanying the car includes copies of the original Maserati Delivery Note, Internal Factory Oder, End of Line Data Sheet, and Final Tests Data Sheet with handwritten specifications for this car confirming the details and assembly for this Ghibli SS. Upon completion, the car was delivered to the first owner, Pierre Cornet, via French Maserati dealer, Etablissements Thepenier, Saint Cloud, France. Cornet, Directeur General of S.O.L.E.P. and loyal Maserati customer (including his ownership of a prior Ghibli), retained the car until 1985 when it was sold to the second owner. In 2002, the car was purchased by noted collector/enthusiast Abba Kogan who sold the car to the next owner in 2005. By 2012, the car became the subject of a comprehensive bare metal restoration performed by Automotive Restorations of Stratford, CT documented with photographs and copious receipts detailing the metal work addressing all areas of the body including correction for minor rust which was limited to small water-prone areas as typically found on these cars. During the restoration the interior was removed entirely and retrimmed with black leather as originally delivered. The interior bright work and details were polished and refinished as needed, and new carpets and headliner installed. The car was finished in the correct light metallic blue and all chrome and polished exterior trim was refinished to a high standard. The completed car was exhibited at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance where it earned a coveted “Amelia Award” in the Sports and GT Cars (1963-1974) class. Following the Amelia exhibit, this Ghibli went on to participate in the New England 1000 rally, completing it in May 2013. Showcasing once again both beauty and performance excellence, this Ghibli completed the 2017 Chopard Rally held in Dubai and, in 2022, completed the United Arab Emirates Mille Miglia covering 1,000 trouble-free miles in cool air-conditioned comfort. Under current ownership, services and general maintenance have been regularly performed including 2021 and 2022 replacement of filters, gaskets, spark plugs, new oil tank hose, new AC compressor belt and condenser/compressor fan system rewiring, carburetor cleaning, selected paint touch up and blending, gauges disassembled and cleaned, new driver’s side window channel replacement, sun visor restoration, and interior switches and various buttons restored or replaced as needed. Today this Maserati Ghibli presents in beautiful condition. The odometer indicates 67,097 kilometers which are believed to be reflective of original kilometers travelled since new. The paint is vivid and smoothly executed with excellent coverage, correct micro-metal flake, and high gloss. The condition of the paint is not only smooth, the reflection quality and detail work have been performed to a high level. The doors, hood, and trunk shut with crisp and firm latching, exhibiting excellent fit and panel match consistent if not better than original factory construction. The Campagnolo wheels are beautifully and correctly finished featuring chrome plated center hubs, wearing correct Michelin XWX 215/70 VR15 tires. Chrome plating on bumpers and various other trim is very well done with excellent contours to the elegant and thin European grille surround. Glass throughout is in excellent condition overall showing only light surface imperfections typical of original glazing, bearing the correct brand marks indicating the original factory glass. The interior has benefited from reupholstery in high quality leather consistent with the factory materials and colors when ordered new. The seats retain good foam bolsters while the leather remains supple and smooth. The interior retains a cohesive appearance on all materials including the soft-touch padded dashboard, headliner, and recently restored sun visors. Of particular note is the excellent instrumentation with clear and consistent coloring, bright numeral indications, and crisp needles spanning the width of this impressive dashboard. Toggle switches and various knobs are also in excellent cosmetic condition as are the climate control switches which activate functional air conditioning. The wood rim steering wheel and center horn button are very fine adding confident touchpoints to the impressive driving experience. Every aspect of the interior matches perfectly with the beautifully formed Ghia body design. In the rear of the car, the expansive glass stretches out over the spare tire compartment concealing the spare wheel and battery. The engine compartment is excellent throughout including the correct original metal-formed air cleaner complete with number tag, proper hoses and fasteners, and correct Maserati data plates with factory stampings. The matching numbers quad-cam engine features the correct black finish, correct Weber carburetors, and further details consistent with 1971 production. The rare 4.9 series engine was a landmark for Maserati and has since become the most coveted of the Ghibli production run due to their powerful output and refinement, particularly the SS series cars. Offering considerably more displacement than even a Ferrari Daytona, the 4.9 Ghibli SS commands the highest order of collector appreciation for both exceptional beauty and undisputed performance. The undercarriage is clean and tidy with finishes that appear consistent to original construction. There is no visual evidence of structural damage to the chassis, rocker panels, or suspension mounting points. The undercarriage displays honest finishes reflective of general use and proper care. Driving this Maserati, one is immediately aware why the Ghibli was a founding member of the emergent Supercar scene. The finely tuned exhaust note suits the delightful quad cam idle as it awaits spirited engagement. The ZF 5-speed gearbox operates quite nicely as the clutch takes up and the throttle comes on strong throughout the power band. At speed, the Ghibli reveals its long legs, settling in as the speedometer needle seeks out legendary top speeds. 4-wheel disc braking responds well to the impressive power, bringing the Ghibli smoothly down from highway speeds. The comfortable driving position offers surprisingly good visibility and accommodates taller drivers with ease. Ghiblis are known for their spacious cabins, and telescopic steering columns (not found on Ferraris of this era), which greatly enhances larger driver comfort especially for longer touring events. Outfitted with power steering and cold air conditioning, this Ghibli is ideal for world class events and tours. This car is accompanied with two large binders of documentation featuring numerous factory records including the Maserati certificate of authenticity, a scissor jack with tools and bag, wheel spanner, a set of factory tools in a tool roll, and a Maserati Ghibli Use and Maintenance book. Additional documentation includes restoration receipts, photographs of the restoration process, and assorted photos of the car at various periods of ownership including participation in the 2017 Chopard Dubai Rally. With its refined 4.9-liter quad-cam V8, stunning looks, and Ghia/Giugiaro design provenance, this Maserati Ghibli SS presents a wonderful opportunity for a collector-enthusiast to experience one of the most important and celebrated sports cars – a legend of iconic Italian performance and unprecedented design excellence. 1971 Maserati Ghibli Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Often cited as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever built, Maserati Ghibli designer Giorgetto Giugiaro created this design at the onset of his prodigious yet brief career with Ghia. Not content to rest on his already significant successes while at Bertone, by the time he arrived at Ghia, he was eagerly developing designs that would break away from the rounded forms of the early 50s and 60s. In 1966, one of his most prolific years, Giugiaro delivered four of the most critically acclaimed designs of the decade, the finest among them being the Maserati Ghibli. Named for the warm, high-speed exotic desert winds, the chiseled Ghibli debuted at the 1966 Turin Motor Show gaining immediate acclaim as the most refined and elegant of Giugiaro’s advanced linear and aggressive designs. The Ghibli featured a fresh, trend setting body design, brimming with some of the most advanced mechanical features available for any road car. Maserati initially outfitted the Ghibli with their race-bred 306 hp dry-sump 4.7-liter quad-cam V8, topped by four Weber carburetors, coupled to a ZF five-speed manual transmission and limited slip differential. Capable drivers could reach 60 mph in less than seven seconds with handling reported as among the best of the period. Dramatically low and wide, the 4-wheel disc brake equipped Ghibli was further improved in 1969 with the upgraded 4.9-liter engine (as equipped on this car).

This beautifully prepared Alfa Romeo Giulietta ‘SVZ’ has regularly been raced over the past few years and is eligible for some of the finest historic motorsport events in the world. Chassis number 04045 was built as a standard Giulietta Sprint on 1 March 1957 and sold on 3 June that year via the official Swiss importer – Societa per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo in Lugano. It has been suggested that it was rebodied as early as 1960, while it was still in Switzerland. Close inspection of the bodywork as well as the age and method of welding (Oxyacetylene) indicate that the body has been on the car since the 60s. The Alfa returned to Italy in July 1975 – when it was given the Potenza registration PZ99308 – and stayed there until it was sold to a Portuguese enthusiast in early 2000. He used it for historic rallying, fitting a rally-tuned 1750cc engine and a five-speed gearbox, and entered it for events such as the Tour d’Espagne. The SVZ was then sold to a new owner in Belgium, who set about making it more comfortable for road use, a process that included – among many other things – overhauling the brakes and fitting adjustable dampers as well as a modern starter motor and an alternator. In 2014, the car was acquired by an English enthusiast who prepared it for circuit racing by removing the 1750cc engine and replacing it with a correct 1290cc unit that was sourced from Classic Alfa. It featured a gas-flowed cylinder head, hardened valve seats, forged pistons, steel rods and race cams, and the Alfa – having also been painted white – was then raced extensively in series such as FISCAR. Its most recent owner has continued in the same vein. A full rebuild of a correct Type 102 1300 engine has been carried out using Carrillo con-rods and an Arrow crankshaft. The result is 129bhp at the flywheel, and since then the engine has been used for only a handful of track sessions. It was FIA inspected and sealed less than six months ago. The Alfa has also been treated to a full rewire with a bespoke braided loom, a new roll cage has been fitted, and the gearbox was rebuilt during the summer of 2022. A limited-slip diff has been installed, the exhaust system replaced, Tillett carbon fibre seats fitted, and it comes with two sets of wheels and tyres. No expense has been spared in its preparation, and this extremely competitive SVZ has been raced at blue-riband events such as the Goodwood Speedweek (Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy), Goodwood Members’ Meeting (Moss Trophy, 2021) – as well as the Pre ’63 GT and Woodcote Trophy (Pre- 56) at the Silverstone Classic in back to back events. Its aluminium body has many of the features that are particularly sought-after, such as the ‘double bubble’ roof, round wheel arches and covered headlamps, and it would make an attractive, competitive choice of historic racer. Now being offered for sale by The Classic Motor Hub, this well-sorted Alfa Romeo SVZ is supplied with an FIA Historic Technical Passport and is also eligible for the Le Mans Classic and road events such as Tour Auto and Modena Cento Ore. Please note the registration ONJ 1 is not supplied with the vehicle, a date correct registration will be provided by DVLA. MODEL HISTORY The SVZ was not an official Alfa Romeo model, but instead had its origins in the Giulietta Sprint Veloce that was crashed by Massimo Girolamo Leto di Priolo on the 1956 Mille Miglia. Rather than having it repaired by the factory, he took it to Zagato, which stripped off the steel body and replaced it using aluminium panels that were considerably lighter. The revised car was also much more aerodynamically efficient and it was immediately successful. Leto di Priolo won his class in the 1956 Coppa Inter-Europa at Monza, and soon other hopeful racers were beating a path to Zagato’s door in order to have their Sprint Veloce rebodied. Such was their bespoke nature that there was no set ‘style’ for the SVZ. Some had the signature ‘double bubble’ roof, others didn’t; some had covered headlights, others didn’t. Beneath that bodywork, however, the basic mechanical components of the Sprint Veloce remained – complete with the 1.3-litre twin-cam engine that could be tuned in period to give up to 115bhp, plus the four-speed gearbox. It’s thought that only 16 genuine SVZs were built by Zagato in period, and competition success included outright victory in two gruelling events in 1958 – the Marathon de la Route and the Coupe des Alpes – as well as countless class wins. Although some people at Alfa Romeo were pleased with the publicity, others were less than thrilled that it was being generated by a model that wasn’t built ‘in house’. The result was an official partnership between Alfa Romeo and Zagato to produce the Giulietta SZ, which made its debut at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show and led to the legendary Giulia TZ. 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SVZ The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A rare and highly desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox, genuine factory 'X Pack', one of only 137 examples built. At the time of its introduction in 1977, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage represented an impressive return to form for the British manufacturer, combining true supercar performance with the finest appointments of a luxury GT in the best of British tradition. Though subsequent models went through mechanical performance upgrades, it took nearly a decade before the V8 Vantage truly achieved 'supercar' status. The Series 3, first introduced at the 1986 British International Motor Show, was the ultimate iteration of the muscular V8 Vantage. Officially entitled V580X, quickly becoming known as the 'X-Pack', it was equipped with four dual-barrel 48mm Weber IDF carburettors, high-compression Cosworth pistons, larger inlet ports and higher lift camshafts, resulting in a remarkable 432bhp from its 5.3 litres. Described by one journalist as 'a Hemi Road Runner built by Bentley', the new and improved V8 Vantage was a genuine 200mph 'supercar' and although not lightweight, could see off the skimpy Ferrari 512BB and Testarossa plus the Lamborghini Countach with aplomb and carry an extra two passengers. Dating from early 1988, #V5802586X is an original factory-built, manual gearbox 'X-Pack' car and was first registered on 8th January 1988 by Reg Vardy Ltd. before subsequently being sold to its first owner, a Mr John Mills of Stratford-upon-Avon. He only kept the car until March 1990 when our lucky custodian acquired the Aston and he has owned it ever since, his fastidious care being evident in the gleaming Suffolk Red paintwork, polished Ronal wheels and inviting leather interior in fresh Magnolia and Suffolk Red complemented by immaculate walnut veneers. It's supplied with its original book pack containing the owner’s manual, wiring diagram, Aston Dealerships booklet, along with the all-important service record which currently displays 18 stamps, the first by Reg Vardy, then from April 1988 through to June 2000, Newport Pagnell Works. Stratstone Aston then took up the mantle after a period of storage from 2008 until 2010, and latterly Aston Martin Workshops of Beamish took care of the car. A substantial invoice from AMW (£14,365) refers to the rectification of various mechanical issues and a full service. In 2013, AMW also undertook some paint correction works to keep the Aston in tip top order producing a further bill for £8,482. Within the history file are details of a speedometer head change (a known fault) by Aston Works back in December 1988 at 19,935 miles and when combined with the indicated mileage, at the time of photography, of 24,177 the Aston appears to have covered just 44,112 miles from new. There are a number of other invoices relating to routine servicing and old MOTs suggesting that this fabulous X-Pack has been diligently maintained all its days. Very rarely do hand-built cars as special as this come to market and this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a superb example of Britain's first supercar. It's one of only 137, fitted with a manual ZF gearbox, low mileage, known provenance and ownership from new, detailed history, an MOT valid until June 2025 and really well presented.

A remarkably well preserved, low ownership Elan Sprint indicating just 16,588 miles from new. Utterly wholesome, charming and ready for its next adventure. Offered here is perhaps the most authentic Lotus Elan Sprint likely to make the open market. According to Lotus archives, chassis #7201 0618G was manufactured in January 1972 for the domestic market finished in Lotus Yellow (LO7) over Cirrus White (LO4) separated by a gold band and bumpers, a standard feature of the Elan Sprint. It was supplied new to its first owner through Lotus dealer, Foley Park Motors in Kidderminster and first registered in February of the same year. Documents within the history file record that the Elan remained in single ownership from delivery in 1972 through to 2019 when it was sold by Paul Matty Sports Cars to its second owner showing just 15,862 miles. The description in the advertisement stated that Paul Matty had in fact performed the original Pre-Delivery Inspection at the Lotus dealership when new, that it retained its immaculate original interior, dashboard, hood and tools and that it was 'one for the serious collector'. In 1990, this Elan featured in Mike Taylor's book Lotus Elan the Complete Story and the images from then show fine details that appear to remain untouched to this day including the 'sticky' front number plate and period pressed rear plate. Further documentation within the history shows recent attention in October 2020 from a classic car service specialist showing a full inspection, steering column service, starter solenoid, brake system overhaul, carbs stripped and rebuilt, a full service and five new correct tyres with a final invoice of just over £3,500. Today, this remarkable Elan Sprint is presented to public auction with its hood, tonneau, tools, the history file, current V5C registration certificate, old V5Cs supporting low ownership, the Heritage Certificate confirming chassis and matching engine number, a 1972 dated (likely original) Elan owners handbook, trophies from concours wins and a copy of Lotus Elan – the Complete Story, featuring the car throughout. There is also a period photo that appears to show the original owner with his prized Elan, having won the 1978 Lotus Open Day Concours and being congratulated by Colin Chapman. Although exempt, it will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale. The universally respected motoring journalist and brand ambassador, Harry Metcalfe, has owned an identical example for over 30 years with numerous videos available online demonstrating his appreciation and showing praise for, to quote 'One of the greatest sports cars of all time'. A link to the 30 year review [Here] To summarise, this is an unrepeatable opportunity to take ownership of a remarkably well preserved, low ownership, low-mileage Elan Sprint. One of, if not the best we have seen that drives every bit as well as it looks. It is utterly wholesome, charming and ready for its next adventure. 1972 Lotus Elan Sprint Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Land-based spaceship The wide, well-sighted road opens before you. An opportunity. As you squeeze the firm throttle pedal with a slow but decisive shove, so the bellowing twelve-cylinder concerto begins to ring out behind you. The audible volume and urgency rises with the thick red needle on the right-hand tachometer. The deliciously long ratios are interrupted only by changes – an action which itself requires a positive throw across the open gate to your right, positioned at what feels like chest height thanks to the ground-hugging reclined seats (themselves objects of sheer Postmodern beauty). There’s really no other word to describe the experience of driving a Lamborghini Countach than theatrical. But for all the gasps, growls, pops, bangs and hisses, this land-based spaceship is not the intimidating, machismo, anxiety-inducing supercar you’d be led to believe. “But for all the gasps, growls, pops, bangs and hisses, this land-based spaceship is not the intimidating, machismo, anxiety-inducing supercar you’d be led to believe.” Yes, you need to sit on the sill to reverse park and it’s not a car you can hesitate with – in a Countach you need to be positive. But from the driver’s seat, forward visibility is fantastic thanks to the short nose which tapers downward. The torque-laden engine makes low-speed driving a doddle. And the cabin is spacious and comfortable. Countach production was long at 16 years (1974 to 1990) and there were a number of different variants. In our opinion, the LP5000S is the sweet spot, with the dramatic flared styling and full-fat 4.75-litre 375bhp V12, fed by six insatiably thirsty double-barrel Weber carburetors. When it was introduced in 1982, the LP5000S (or LP500S dependent on which market) was the third iteration of the Countach, following the LP400 Periscopio and the LP400 S, the latter of which received the comically flared wheel arches. But the addition of the larger 4.75-litre twelve-cylinder, still with 24 valves, finally gave the model the beating heart it deserved. At the time, it was the fastest accelerating, most powerful and most torquey Lamborghini of them all. Over four decades on, the LP5000S represents a desirable proposition for today’s collectors – with only 321 produced, this iteration of the Countach is twice as rare as the LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary models which followed, yet considerably less valuable than the original LP400 Periscopio. It’s the model which truly turned the Countach into a poster pinup for an entire generation. Chassis number 12740 An LP5000S model which left the Lamborghini factory in Sant’Agata on 7 July 1984, this Countach – chassis number 12740 – was delivered new to Monaco, finished in Bianco over an oh-so-1980s Bianco interior. Crucially, the original owner went against the grain and opted not to fit the rear wing, which preserved the 182mph top speed. In 1996, the car was imported to California on the West Coast of America and, amusingly, registered with the number ‘BIG LAMB’ – fitting, right? Chassis 12740 remained in California for 20 years, changing hands once and, as the wealth of invoices accompanying the car demonstrate, always diligently maintained. A full engine rebuild was carried out in 2013, costing in excess of 30,000 US dollars. In 2016, this Countach joined the collection of a prominent Lamborghini collector in Germany, which comprised everything from a tractor to LM002 and a Diablo VT 6.0. Said collector promptly sent the car to Top Motors Salvioli, the longstanding Lamborghini specialist in Modena, for a mechanical inspection and service. At this time the gearbox was rebuilt with new seals and synchros, the front and rear suspension was refreshed and the carburetors were cleaned. A second Top Motors invoice details further work carried out the following year totaling 2,000 euros. Chassis number 12740 changed hands again in 2021, remaining in Germany. Lamborghini Singen carried out a service in November of the same year, which included replacement of the door seals, coolant pipes, two tyres, and an overhaul of the entire braking system. Today, this matching-numbers Lamborghini Countach LP5000S is accompanied by a generous history file comprising myriad invoices and a Certificate of Authenticity from the factory in Sant’Agata, confirming its provenance. An example which has benefitted from diligent care and maintenance throughout its life, chassis number 12740 is finished in the most desirable colour combination and drives every bit as good as it is to look at. 1984 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S Girardo & Co.

Over four decades on, the LP5000S represents a desirable proposition for today’s collectors – with only 321 produced, this iteration of the Countach is twice as rare as the LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary models which followed, yet considerably less valuable than the original LP400 Periscopio. It’s the model which truly turned the Countach into a poster pinup for an entire generation. Chassis number 12740 An LP5000S model which left the Lamborghini factory in Sant’Agata on 7 July 1984, this Countach – chassis number 12740 – was delivered new to Monaco, finished in Bianco over an oh-so-1980s Bianco interior. Crucially, the original owner went against the grain and opted not to fit the rear wing, which preserved the 182mph top speed. In 1996, the car was imported to California on the West Coast of America and, amusingly, registered with the number ‘BIG LAMB’ – fitting, right? Chassis 12740 remained in California for 20 years, changing hands once and, as the wealth of invoices accompanying the car demonstrate, always diligently maintained. A full engine rebuild was carried out in 2013, costing in excess of 30,000 US dollars. In 2016, this Countach joined the collection of a prominent Lamborghini collector in Germany, which comprised everything from a tractor to LM002 and a Diablo VT 6.0. Said collector promptly sent the car to Top Motors Salvioli, the longstanding Lamborghini specialist in Modena, for a mechanical inspection and service. At this time the gearbox was rebuilt with new seals and synchros, the front and rear suspension was refreshed and the carburetors were cleaned. A second Top Motors invoice details further work carried out the following year totaling 2,000 euros. Chassis number 12740 changed hands again in 2021, remaining in Germany. Lamborghini Singen carried out a service in November of the same year, which included replacement of the door seals, coolant pipes, two tyres, and an overhaul of the entire braking system. Today, this matching-numbers Lamborghini Countach LP5000S is accompanied by a generous history file comprising myriad invoices and a Certificate of Authenticity from the factory in Sant’Agata, confirming its provenance. An example which has benefitted from diligent care and maintenance throughout its life, chassis number 12740 is finished in the most desirable colour combination and drives every bit as good as it is to look at.

Please note this lot has entered Switzerland on a temporary import bond, which must be cancelled either by exporting the lot outside of Switzerland on an approved Bill of Lading with supporting customs documentation or by paying the applicable VAT and import duties to have the lot remain in Switzerland. The automotive industry has a long history of evolution, interrupted with bursts of innovation. It is hard to imagine the world without the supercar, the pinnacle of automotive engineering married to extraordinary aesthetics. Since the 1960s, supercars have always been the most desirable cars on the road and the first modern supercar was the Lamborghini Miura. Marcello Gandini was only 27 years old—and recently employed by Bertone—when he penned the lines of the Miura. Commissioned to produce something uncompromising for an equally radical chassis, the body was an extraordinary combination of swooping lines mixed with eyelashes, slats, and cleverly integrated air intakes. Such was Gandini’s fresh thinking that it is almost impossible to find inspiration from earlier cars. Though influence certainly came from Lamborghini’s spirit-animal, with doors modelled on bull horns, creating a wonderful front profile when wide open. The low-slung monocoque chassis was designed by a 28-year-old engineer called Gian Paolo Dallara, a man who would go on to establish his eponymous company, and develop some of the most successful chassis in motorsport. The Miura was a significant part of his personal development, and his decision to place the engine and transaxle transversely in the rear of the chassis was an utterly brilliant piece of packaging. Previously, the most famous car to use a transverse engine and gearbox setup was the Mini, a front-engine mass produced car of the people, not a car aiming to be the fastest on the planet. The chassis was further complemented by double-wishbone independent suspension with coil-over dampers on all four corners. An anti-roll bar was fitted at the rear to aid the handling, and discs brakes on both axles proved more than capable of slowing down such a ferociously quick car. Another young engineer involved in this ground-breaking car was Giotto Bizzarrini, still in his late-30s. Following on from his time at Ferrari, where he masterminded the 250 GTO, Bizzarrini founded his own engineering consultancy and designed the V-12 that would be first used in the 350 GT. The design was outstanding, with Lamborghini using the same block design for every V-12 until the all-new Aventador was launched. For the Miura, Bizzarrini’s V-12 design was enlarged to 4.0 litres and fed by four downdraught triple Weber 40 IDLs. All of these design and engineering features resulted in what became the fastest production car in the world, and one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The birth of the Miura had been unconventional and its release into the world was even more so. The Miura was first shown without its body in rolling chassis form at the 1965 Turin Auto Show with prospective buyers placing orders; they were in for a pleasant surprise when a prototype was finally revealed at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show to astonished crowds. Further development was carried out by 20-somethings, Paolo Stanzani and Bob Wallace. Wallace would famously put development miles on the prototype by driving it from Sant’Agata Bolognese to the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, practically stopping traffic by parking the Miura outside the Casino for all to admire. The success of the Miura and its later versions established Lamborghini as one of the preeminent supercar manufacturers, and 762 Miuras were produced in total. Chassis number 3375 is one of the earliest “thick chassis” P400s, incorporating chassis modifications to improve stiffness and handling. Leaving the factory on 4 March 1968, this Miura has production no. 135. It travelled a short distance to Milan to be delivered to Mr. Bongiasca via Lamborghini dealer Lamborcar. By 1998, this Miura was residing in California, in the care of Donald Sullivan. In early 2009 it appeared for sale and was fitted with a Chevrolet V-8 and a ZF transaxle; it is believed that these were relieved from an unfortunate De Tomaso Mangusta. Soon after this time it was exported to Sweden where the new owner embarked on a restoration, which included installing a correct specification Miura P400 drivetrain, a respray to Verde Miura, and a retrim in Bleu. During 2015, this Miura was sold to the current owner who commenced another restoration with an Italian workshop. Included in this process was a full bare-metal repaint back to its original colour, Bianco Miura, with an interior retrim in blue and light grey leather. During this restoration the chassis was put on a jig, body repairs were carried out, and the rear subframe was returned to factory configuration. The result of this restoration is a stunning example with outstanding panel shut-lines, worthy of any concours d’elegance. Presented as a fully restored example of one of Italy’s greatest supercars, this Miura P400 would be a wonderful car for fast road driving or simply admiring as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. The product of a rare moment of youthful exuberance and free-thinking innovation, the effect of the Miura can be seen throughout the history of the supercar, and they will always remain in the collections and on the wish lists of true petrolheads. 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This Alfa Romeo started life as a standard GT 1300 Junior road car and was sold new in Italy. First registered on 14 March 1967, it was acquired by Italo Cipriotto and then sold two years later to Umberto Cipriotto. Given the fact that the Automobile Club d’Italia registration documents lists the same address for both men, and they were born two years apart in Viterbo, it seems safe to conclude that Umberto was Italo’s younger brother. Umberto kept the car until the 1980s and it subsequently passed through various other owners in Italy. By the middle of 2018, the Alfa had been partially dismantled was in need of a complete restoration. Having been acquired by a Gloucestershire-based specialist, it was shipped from Salerno to the UK so that work could begin – and the decision was taken to upgrade it to the same specification as the famous 1.6-litre GTA competition cars. The build process is fully documented in the Alfa’s huge history file, with every invoice and receipt having been retained. The attention to detail is evident throughout the car and extended to fitting an original twin-plug cylinder head. Two Weber 45 DCOE carburettors were added, the bodywork features correct GTA ‘bubble arches’, an Alfaholics chassis-leg stiffening kit was specified, and Perspex side windows installed. Inside the stripped-out cockpit, there is a full roll cage and extinguisher system, Sabelt race seats and harnesses, and a modern Stack rev counter. Pirelli Cinturato 165/70 14 tyres are fitted all round, and the full extent of this project can only be appreciated by going through the paperwork. This painstakingly restored Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Junior was completed in 2021 and given the UK registration YHR 845E. Now being offered for sale at The Classic Motor Hub, it has covered only 600 miles since its rebuild and perfectly evokes the GTA’s motorsport success in the 1960s. MODEL HISTORY The Type 105 Alfa Romeo Giulia was introduced in 1962 and spawned a huge number of variations. One of those was a range of coupés based on a shortened floorpan and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone. Their mechanical specification included a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes all round, and Alfa Romeo’s classic twin-cam, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine. This was offered in various capacities for the GT model, and there was also the smaller-capacity GT Junior, which initially featured a 1290cc engine. In 1972, the 1570cc GT 1600 Junior was added to the line-up. It didn’t take long for Alfa Romeo’s Autodelta racing division to create a competition version of the Giulia coupé. With its aluminium body panels, magnesium alloy wheels and Perspex side windows, the GTA was considerably lighter than the road cars. A twin-plug cylinder head was fitted, while capacities varied from the original 1570cc unit to the short-stroke GTA 1300 Junior and the 2-litre GTAm. All had independent front suspension via wishbones and coil springs, while at the rear there was a live axle with trailing arms. The Alfa Romeo GTA was mainstay of saloon car racing throughout the late 1960s. Future Grand Prix driver Andrea de Adamich won the 1966 European Touring Car Championship in 1966 and 1967, Spartaco Dini did likewise in 1969, and Toine Hezemans added a fourth title in 1970. In 1971, the GTA 1300 Junior was utterly dominant and won its class at every ETCC round apart from the Spa 24 Hours. The 105 and 115 series Alfa Romeo Giulia coupés remained in production until 1977 and have rightly become highly coveted by marque enthusiasts. 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

MODEL HISTORY The Type 105 Alfa Romeo Giulia was introduced in 1962 and spawned a huge number of variations.
