Following its creation in 1961, the AC Cobra quickly developed a large following due to its signature look, V8 power and soundtrack and racetrack success. This has only grown in the six decades since, however their rarity and rising value has meant that fewer are seen on the road. In an effort to allow fans of the original to experience such a special piece of automotive history, several companies began to build recreations of the car using a similar chassis and drivetrain to the original. These cars have become sought after due to offering many of the thrills of the 60s original but at a lower entry point to the market. Hawk, a British company have gained a trusted reputation for building accurate and reliable recreations to the highest standard and for a variety of uses from FIA compliant race cars to the roadgoing example seen here. The AC Cobra 289 Evocation by Hawk offered at Autostorico is a 1972 historic registered example. This outstanding vehicle is powered by a rebuilt Rover 3.5 litre V8 fitted with period correct Cobra rocker covers and pan style air filter. Fished in Blue with Black leather interior trim. Specification highlights include 15” painted wire wheels with Blockley tyres and knock off spinners, five speed gearbox and immobiliser, full weather gear including side screens, hood and tonneau cover, heating, USB power socket. The interior is complemented by period Smiths dials, wooden steering wheel and correct gear lever. Offered for sale with a current V5 registration document, new MOT a history file including an original build manual, numerous invoices including its latest service invoice which was carried out by Thunder Road in June 2025. 1972 AC Cobra 289 Evocation by Hawk Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Equipment Ferrari factory carbon fibre racing seats with four-point harnesses Tool kit Electric windows Electric side mirrors Automatic air conditioning Leather interior ABS Central locking Aluminium rims About the car In the autumn of 1994 the F512 M, the new version of the 512, was presented (M for “modificata”). Radical improvements were made to the whole car: the power/weight ratio was improved as was the styling, while still keeping the original Pininfarina basic design. It is the last unlimited mid-engined twelve-cylinder. The F512 M, of which only 501 examples were produced, was replaced in 1996 by the front-engined 550 Maranello. According to available documents, the Ferrari 512 M presented here was originally delivered in Berlin in 1996 before it was sold to its current owner shortly afterwards. The car has been regularly serviced by brand specialists and recently underwent a major service including the replacement of the timing belt. Particularly noteworthy are the carbon fibre racing seats, which offer sufficient space even for taller drivers. A good opportunity to acquire one of the few F512 Ms built in excellentcondition and with a traceable history.

Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, the 105’s clean and distinctive design made it one of the most attractive small coupes of the 1960s and 70s and the earlier ‘Stepnose’ cars were the first of that body shape and seen as the most desirable. In recent years the trend largely initiated by Alfaholics has been to modify 105 series Alfa Romeo’s. This ‘Stepnose’ is an example of one of these types of ‘Restomod’ cars and heavily influenced by the Allfaholics cars. The quality of our car is truly exceptional in every respect. After 9 years of ownership the owner embarked on a meticulous build to take the car to one of the best we’ve ever seen. The level of quality in all areas of this car is without fault and a credit to the team involved. The car was completed in 2020 and has done only around 3000 kms since. Owing to a change in personal circumstances he now needs to let the car go to the next custodian. This presents a great opportunity for the next owner to purchase the car at a fraction of the cost of the initial investment. Invoices which accompany the car total in excess of $130,000 which excludes the purchase price of the car itself. The engine was replaced by a rebuilt 2-litre twin spark with fuel injection managed by the Omex ITB ECU system. The induction noise from this set-up is simply wonderous and as expected it just pulls and pulls and pulls. The body shell was stripped, and any compromised metal was replaced. The colour whilst not original Alfa Romeo is Pino Verde Metallic – it looks simply stunning and is inspired by the Ferrari colour used in period. It compliments the interior tan colour so well. The quality of the paint and its application is flawless and the best we’ve seen. As part of the panel work done to the shell, strengthening sections were applied to increase rigidity which translates to improved performance and road holding. As expected, numerous Alfaholics parts have been used throughout the car. Turn the key and the engine fires up with a familiar Alfa Romeo growl. Out on the open road this car is just superb and is without doubt one of the most memorable test drives we’ve had the pleasure of conducting. The brakes and handling are pin sharp and the induction noise from the throttle bodies is intoxicating. Above 4000 rpm the power really starts to take hold, and the car really gets moving. The feedback is superb and the whole sensory experience is as good as it gets. Braking is helped with the fitment of Brembo’s from a later Alfa Romeo 75 and a limited slip diff and hydraulic clutch is also fitted too. Having said this the way this car has been set-up is incredibly impressive. It is not harsh or uncomfortable in any way. The ride is compliant, and it is perfectly comfortable to drive around at normal speeds. If, however, you then choose to become a bit more ‘enthusiastic’ then its character reflects this and delivers in spades. The owner specified this requirement in the build, and it has been delivered perfectly. Of note is the fitment of an electric air conditioning unit which increases the level of comfort and the cars practical use. This type of unit removes the need for under bonnet ancillary items keeping the engine bay open. The installation is excellent, and its efficiency in operation puts many modern cars to shame. It is neatly fitted to the dash area and is very simple to use too. The gearbox has been inspected and is easy to use and everything performs as expected. Elsewhere inside, the cabin feels light and airy and a nice place to be. The dashboard was refurbished with a carbon fibre face and then a satin clearcoat applied. It is a lovely detail point and pleasing to the eye. Everything works as it should with every guage completely restored. The seats use the correct Alfa Romeo materials, and the interior is a real feature of this car. A new and correct type of headlining has been fitted and the driver is greeted by a beautiful Nardi steering wheel. USB connections are available and integrated microphone too. The boot has a replacement carpet, and the rear wheel well deleted to allow for the installation of the aircon unit. The wheels are GTA style replica’s and shod in Bridgestone tyres. The engine bay is a work of art and pin sharp and presents beautifully. The battery has been moved to the boot and is in a discreet area hidden from view. As you would expect the underside of the car presents is as clean and fresh as it is on top. Overall, this represents a spectacular performance enhanced ‘Stepnose’ with a huge amount of work done and significant investment made. The work was done by experts with these 105 Alfa Romeo’s and it shows. This would be a perfect buy for someone considering restoring an ‘Alfaholics’ like car but wishing to avoid the wait or costs! A wonderfully attractive Alfa Romeo and so much fun too. 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce ‘Twin Spark Restomod’ Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In contrast to other era-defining designs such as the Alfa Romeo 8C, Jaguar D-Type or Porsche 956/962, the 917’s racing career in its original coupé form was only fleeting. It involved less than three seasons and a mere 23 World Championship events. Remarkably, the car emerged victorious in 15, including wins at both Daytona and Le Mans in 1970 and again in 1971. Rendered ineligible for international racing in 1972, the 917’s legacy was further secured by two dominant seasons in the unrestricted North American Can-Am Championship, in which the Penske Racing team’s 917/10 and 917/30 Spyders secured consecutive titles in 1972 and 1973, respectively. Nevertheless, the introduction of new fuel restrictions for 1974 heralded Porsche’s withdrawal from the series, and after barely five seasons of top-flight competition, it appeared that the chapter had closed on arguably the most charismatic—and certainly the most coveted—of all Porsches. However, some 12 years later, the Porsche 917 would return for a belated competitive swansong. Indeed, as the FIA sought to transition to the new-for-1982 Group C ruleset, the existing Group 6 regulations were relaxed for the 1981 World Endurance Championship season to stimulate development of both new components and cars for the incoming formula. Buoyed by an unlikely victory at Le Mans in 1979 with their self-developed Porsche 935-K3, the Köln-based Kremer team sought to exploit such technical latitude by developing its own updated Group 6 version of the 917. It was a car that offered the team realistic chance of a second victory at La Sarthe in three years. Aided by intimate working knowledge of the 917 and invaluable design support from Porsche headquarters, Kremer set about updating the design to accommodate contemporary tyre construction and aerodynamic practice. Dubbed the 917-K81, the new car featured a Kremer-built aluminium spaceframe chassis similar to that of the original, albeit with additional triangulation and thicker gauge tubing to improve torsional stiffness. In addition, it featured brakes, suspension components and other items of running gear developed on the all-conquering Can-Am programme; their ability to accommodate peak power figures well in excess of 1,100 horsepower being a primary factor in their selection. Porsche provided two original Type 912 engines—one of a 4.5-litre capacity, and one of 5.0 litres—to which an original Type 920 five-speed transaxle was mated. Elsewhere, the car’s suspension geometry and bodywork were heavily revised; the latter included the addition of side skirts to enhance ground effect, and a full width rear wing. Completed barely a month before Le Mans, the team’s pre-race testing schedule was very limited and critically did not include any meaningful wind tunnel analysis. Nevertheless, Kremer’s entry was greeted enthusiastically by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, with regular Kremer pilot Bob Wollek nominated as lead driver. Wollek’s fellow countrymen, Guy Chasseuil, and Xavier Lapeyre offered a supporting role, having brought on board welcome sponsorship from BP and French real estate company, Malardeau. In qualifying, the car proved disappointingly slow on the six kilometre-long Mulsanne Straight due to an excessively short set of gear ratios and prohibitive drag from its oversize rear wing. Eventually, Wollek qualified 18th, albeit 17 seconds per lap slower than the pole-sitting, factory-entered Porsche 936 of Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, and some 10 seconds adrift of Kremer’s amateur-crewed, sixth-placed 935-K3. Duly fitted with revised ratios for race day, the car’s top speed was greatly improved. In Wollek’s hands, 917-K81 rose as high as 9th overall, although neither teammate was able to match his pace and the car soon dropped outside the top 20. The team’s plight was further compromised by Chasseuil running out of fuel, while Lapeyre ran wide over a kerb shortly after the seven-hour mark and damaged an oil pipe. Following a significant loss of oil, and resulting damage to the engine, the car was retired in the pits; an ignominious end to the 917’s participation in the event with which it had become synonymous. Following the appropriate revisions after Le Mans, the car’s second—and final—race outing was at the Brands Hatch 1,000 Kilometres, the final round of the 1981 World Endurance Championship. On this occasion, Wollek was partnered by three-time Le Mans victor Pescarolo—the latter returned to the team for the first time in more than three years. The car immediately proved well-suited to the relatively short and flowing Kent track; its rear wing–in contrast to Le Mans–barely hampering its top speed, and providing enviable levels of grip over the entire four kilometre lap. In qualifying, a superb performance by Wollek had the driver eclipsed only by the new Group C Ford C100 of Klaus Ludwig and Manfred Winkelhock, and the 2nd-placed Lola of Guy Edwards and Emilio de Villota. Nevertheless, 3rd place on the grid—just 1.5 seconds off pole—gave the team a much-needed pre-race boost. At the race start, Wollek eased ahead of the Lola to take 2nd place. The Frenchman shadowed the C100 until a rain shower caused a flurry of pitstops and a reshuffle of the race order. Following the Ford’s retirement on lap 40, Wollek once again found himself in 2nd place, and by lap 43 was challenging Edwards’ Lola for the lead. Once the Briton had pitted, the 917 hit the front, appropriately at the circuit—and in the same event—in which Pedro Rodriguez had given a masterclass in his JW Automotive 917 some 11 years previously. Finally, the 917-K81 was showing its true pace, although sadly this proved only temporary. Wollek retired with suspension failure on lap 52 before Pescarolo even commenced his stint. Incredibly, Brands Hatch would mark the conclusion of the car’s competitive career. . Thereafter, the car remained in Kremer’s possession for several years, prior to its sale to prominent 1960s Porsche 906 and 910 racer Bill Bradley. Acquired by the consignor in 2011, the 917-K81 has been maintained by renowned Porsche specialists Crubilé Sport of Gazeran, France, ever since. Its use has been restricted to occasional track days and other non-competitive events, a particular highlight being its participation in the Le Mans Heritage Club Concours at the 2014 Le Mans Classic, for which it received the Special Jury Prize. Furthermore, it has recently benefitted from a complete rebuild of its 5.0-litre engine by Crubilé Sport, the invoices for which remain on file. Upon completion, the unit was statically tested in February 2024; its maximum recorded power representing a significant increase on that achieved by factory-built units in period. Fastidiously maintained, impeccably presented and representing a fascinating postscript to arguably the greatest of all Porsche Sport Prototypes, 917-K81 would be a highly competitive and exhilarating entry to the many historic racing events for which it is eligible, not to mention a spectacular–and unique–centrepiece for any appropriately discerning competition car collection. 1981 Porsche 917 K-81 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

For many, the Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS represents the ultimate, perfected peak of the original Porsche sports coupé concept and was destined to be an all-time classic. The model’s eminence at the forefront of the collector car world over the decades is such that it has become something of a litmus test for the state of the market. Satisfying the Group IV homologation requirement was the first and only reason for the RS’s conception, much to the dismay of the Stuttgart marque’s sceptical top brass. That Porsche wound up building 1,580 of its lighter, more hardcore (and more expensive) 911 racer-for-the-road, over 1,000 more than the minimum number required for said homologation, is indicative of how great a car it was. Ask those in the know and they’ll tell you that the first series of 500 cars are the most desirable today, not least because the body panels were crafted from thinner-gauge (and therefore lighter) steel. Two general specifications were sold: ‘Lightweight’, which channelled the hardcore spirit of the racer, and a more plush and comfortable ‘Touring’. The former is rarer, but the latter stayed truest to the 911’s Grand Touring roots. To drive, the Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS is a unique experience. You can feel its inherent raciness over the standard 911 S from the moment the air-cooled flat-six catches with its signature chatter. As you’d expect from a Porsche, it feels tight and solid and safe, but the way it inspires you with confidence and urges you to push on is infectious. Plus, once you’ve parked, climbed out, closed the door with that satisfyingly secure ‘clunk’ and walked away, there’s nothing quite looking back at a slinky, seductive, narrow-bodied 911. Especially one with a beautifully delicate ducktail on its bottom. Chassis no. 0056 A very early ‘first-500’ Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS Touring, chassis number 0056 was collected by its first German owner directly from the factory in November of 1972. It was the first of only 60 Carrera RSs to leave Zuffenhausen in Grand Prix white with Green decals. It was a generously specified car, with the limited-slip differential, Sport driver’s seat, headrests, shoulder seatbelts, a heated rear window and special black interior roof lining. We have charted chassis 0056’s story from 2013, when it was purchased in California by a German enthusiast building a remarkable collection of high-quality Porsches spanning the marque’s entire history. Reimported to Germany and registered with the number ‘F RS 1972 H’, this 911 has since been fastidiously maintained regardless of cost, carefully stored in the aforementioned collection and enjoyed on several occasions, including road trips in Germany and Sicily. Just over 9,000km have been clocked (and documented) since returning across the Atlantic. The myriad accompanying invoices paint an extensive picture of the last decade of maintenance, though specific works that stood out to us included the following. All four Fuchs wheels have been refurbished and shod with new tyres in March of 2024. The entire car has been repainted and ceramic sealed. The engine and gearbox have been thoroughly refreshed, serviced and cleaned. And a new plastic fuel tank has been fitted, of the same type and material as that originally used by the factory. “It presents as a wonderful and authentic example of the beloved Carrera RS formula, which transcended the Porsche world and came to symbolise the entire collector-car world.” Today, chassis number 0056 presents as a wonderful and authentic example of the beloved 911 2.7 Carrera RS formula that transcended the Porsche world and came to embody the entire collector car world. It’s accompanied by its factory user manuals, tool roll, jack set, spare wheel and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Presented in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, it’s now waiting to be shown off and enjoyed, either on a spirited Sunday drive, an international road rally or the concours lawn. 1972 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS Touring Girardo & Co.

It was a generously specified car, with the limited-slip differential, Sport driver’s seat, headrests, shoulder seatbelts, a heated rear window and special black interior roof lining. We have charted chassis 0056’s story from 2013, when it was purchased in California by a German enthusiast building a remarkable collection of high-quality Porsches spanning the marque’s entire history. Reimported to Germany and registered with the number ‘F RS 1972 H’, this 911 has since been fastidiously maintained regardless of cost, carefully stored in the aforementioned collection and enjoyed on several occasions, including road trips in Germany and Sicily. Just over 9,000km have been clocked (and documented) since returning across the Atlantic. The myriad accompanying invoices paint an extensive picture of the last decade of maintenance, though specific works that stood out to us included the following. All four Fuchs wheels have been refurbished and shod with new tyres in March of 2024. The entire car has been repainted and ceramic sealed. The engine and gearbox have been thoroughly refreshed, serviced and cleaned. And a new plastic fuel tank has been fitted, of the same type and material as that originally used by the factory. “It presents as a wonderful and authentic example of the beloved Carrera RS formula, which transcended the Porsche world and came to symbolise the entire collector-car world.” Today, chassis number 0056 presents as a wonderful and authentic example of the beloved 911 2.7 Carrera RS formula that transcended the Porsche world and came to embody the entire collector car world. It’s accompanied by its factory user manuals, tool roll, jack set, spare wheel and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Presented in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, it’s now waiting to be shown off and enjoyed, either on a spirited Sunday drive, an international road rally or the concours lawn.

In the vast 1980s, an extraordinary story of passion and dedication unfolded, led by the visionary Alois Ruf Sr. The fascination with Porsche began with a dramatic event. Senior had founded a tour bus company; during a drive through scenic Bavaria, Ruf Sr. saw a Porsche 356 lose control and go off the road with a bang. Like a true lifesaver, he brought the damaged gem back to his workshop. The restoration of this 356 became not only a passion project, but also the beginning of a new era. His heart stolen by the 911, Alois Ruf Jr. later took the wheel. No fan of autobuses full of senior citizens, he decided to focus entirely on Porsche, with a special emphasis on the 911. From the company's German headquarters, Ruf Jr. began refining Porsche models. Our example, a rare Carrera 2 RUF from the sought-after 964 generation, saw the light of day in sunny France in 1989. Shrouded in refined Marine Blau Metallic, this classic exudes purity and elegance. Every detail of this RUF has been carefully preserved, including the original booklets and documentation, safely stored in a Cool Classic box. By definition, this is a car that falls within every frame of a Cool Classic. Our passion for this impressive RUF is boundless; we just can't stop talking about it.

In 1968, Porsche enchanted car enthusiasts with the introduction of the 911 T (Touring), the new entry-level model alongside the celebrated L and S variants. A powerful 2-liter, 110 hp six-cylinder air-cooled engine was the basis. The year 1970 marked a turning point for all 911 variants with the impressive upgrade to a 2.2-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine - a reliable and smooth power source for the time. Considered the pinnacle of the early 911 lineup, the 1970s 911 T embraces the combination of a longer wheelbase and the authentic mechanical charm of its predecessors. In terms of driving characteristics, you also have a front row seat, the convertible feeling with the stiffness of a coupe. Ours is in exceptional condition, so cool! Completely body-off restored with attention to every detail, retaining the original numbers. The engine, an original 2.2L powerhouse, has been subtly adjusted to 207 HP, the secret? An extra shot of espresso! The chassis has been custom adjusted and refined with Bilstein shock absorbers that let the car drive like a dancing ballerina on her toes. A truly beautiful and professional car that has proven itself over the years as a lucrative investment. She is ready to cruise straight to St. Moritz with skis on her roof. With so much flair that even the most chic hotels almost beg her to stay over, where even the hotel pianist would like to play a tune for her.

Forty six years ago in February, 1964, the last 300SL Roadster to be built and sold new to America arrived via ocean liner. Delivered in August 1963 via the European delivery program, chassis #3254 was one of the last five 300SLs built by Daimler Benz. One of four identical white-with-red roadsters built in the final week of production, it was the only one destined for America. The other three were delivered to European owners. These were the last production sports cars with a direct link to Mercedes factory racecars. Fourteen hundred Gullwings were built between 1954 and 1957. Eighteen hundred and thirty two roadsters were built between 1957 and the end of 1962. Only 26 roadsters were manufactured in 1963, the final year of production. During the ten years of 300SL production, the car was under constant development. During the final 1 months of this time span, 210 roadsters, only 6.4% of the total, were built with aluminum engine block, disc brakes and steering locks. Alloy block engines were used in the 300SLR factory racers of 1955 and in the two competition 300SL roadsters raced by Paul O'Shea to the SCCA class D championship in 1957. Mark and Mercedes Pollack were the original owners of this time warp roadster. They were tobacco merchants who were forced to leave their home in Cuba in early 1960 following the fall of the Batista government. They left behind their 45-acre estate, their business and an automobile collection that included a Bugatti, 3Ferraris, a Gullwing and a white with red 300SL roadster. Fidel Castro now resides in their former home in Cuba. The Pollacks later maintained homes in North Carolina, Madrid and Geneva. In August 1963 while visiting Andorra, Mrs. Pollack read that the 300SL had been discontinued. She immediately called the factory, was informed that only four 300SLs remained and purchased the only remaining white with red roadster, her color preference, sight unseen. Mrs. Pollack was persuasive. Notwithstanding the American list price of $11,500 and the European list price of $8,200, Mrs. Pollack negotiated a sale at $6,500. Her original bill of sale confirms that this was perhaps the least expensive new roadster ever sold by Daimler Benz. She named it "La Paloma Blanca". At the time, uncomfortable with a manual transmission, she arranged for a factory representative to drive her home to Geneva. The Pollacks returned it to the factory in October 1963 for service and installation of options. Mercedes posed with La Paloma Blanca in this 1963 photo taken in Switzerland that also shows the dual side mirrors, customs plate and the luggage rack. The European headlights have been replaced with the sealed beam type as required for later transportation to the U.S. The Pollacks returned with the car via ocean liner to New York City in February, 1964 and drove it home ot North Carolina. Unfortunately, Mark's vision deteriorated and it was placed in storage after having been driven only 16,000 miles in 1966. In a deal brokered by Ed Jurist of the Vintage Car Store in Nyack, New York, La Paloma Blanca was sold to Ann Hallowell of Greenwich, Connecticut in January 1977. Ann and Morris Hallowell are antique dealers who have a sophisticated appreciation of mechanical precision, beauty, rarity and history. Ann preserved its low-mileage originality and mechanical condition as she drove it only 2,500 miles during her 20 years of ownership. Ann posed for the accompanying photo with her roadster in 1990. Frank and Beverly Spellman acquired it in 1997. It has been driven less than 28,200 miles since new. It is the only European specification roadster ever purchased through the European delivery program. In 1998 and 1999 it was a class winner in its all-original condition. In 1999, it was rear- ended in a minor fender-bender as it was prepared for the Greenwich Concours. Paul Russell was entrusted with the repair and carefully walked the fine line between restoration and preservation of its low-mileage originality. It was given a bare metal Pebble Beach quality total repaint, engine bay detailing and a new soft top. The mechanical aspects were carefully inspected and complete servicing was done. Options and accessories include chrome sport wheels with the original Continental white wall tires; soft top; Becker Grand Prix semi-transistor radio; Reims short wave adaptor; Hirschman antenna; jack; tool kit; and factory competition seatbelts. Original Hepco factory luggage with the original luggage tags remains in the trunk. The one-of-a-kind trunk-mounted ski and luggage rack is believed to be a factory prototype. It is fitted with Karl Baiche factory luggage as was delivered with the Pollack Gullwing. The snow skis and poles were made in Norway in the 1950s. Manuals, warranties and service records have all survived. The original European delivery order book and original upholstery book remain with the vehicle. The original auto club badges and rally badges are from auto clubs of which Mark was a member and from rallies the Pollacks attended while in Europe. The original luggage stickers are from ocean liners on which the Pollacks traveled. The Bullock-Mercedes knockoff hubcaps give the appearance of knockoff wheels. Only three other sets are known to exist. During 2000-2005, this vehicle received numerous awards, including three "Best-of-Show" trophies and major awards at The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, The Meadow Brook Concours d' Elegance, The Burn Foundation Concours, The Greenwich Concours, The Radnor Hunt Concours, The Concours d'Elegance of Hilton Head Island, The Concours d'Elegance at Cranbrook, The Gull Wing Group Convention, and The Antique Automobile Association National Meet. It was selected as the "centerfold Mercedes" in the July/August 2001 issue of the Mercedes Benz Club of America Star magazine. In 2002, it was the featured 300SL roadster in Dennis Adler's book, The Art of the Sportscar. It appeared in the March, 2004 issue of Classic & Sports Car, the July, 2004 issue of Car Collector, and most recently appeared in the 2006 book Daimler & Benz: The Complete History by Dennis Adler. In 2006, it received the Mercedes Trophy at the York County Heritage Trust Concours d'Elegance in York, Pennsylvania and the Chairman's Award at the Glenmoor Gathering Concours d'Elegance ni Akron, Ohio. In 2007, while being driven on a 1,500 mile 50" "anniversary tour", ti was awarded two best in show trophies; an AACA Senior Award in Binghamton, New York; and class awards at MBCA StarTrack in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and at the William K. Vanderbilt Jr. Concours d'Elegance in Newport, Rhode Island. In 2008, it won two best-in-class awards at local Washington, D. C. events. It was featured in the April, 2008 issue of Mercedes Enthusiasts magazine. In 2009 it was shown only once and received The Best of Marque award at the 26 Annual Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance. After 46 years its unused original paint hardtop was installed and it will again enjoy life as a coupe. It has been maintained in outstanding mechanical condition for the last twelve years by legendary mechanic Norbert Lamp. 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In 1986, Germany introduced the Porsche 944 Turbo Cup series to the world, a one-model championship that put the 944 in the spotlight. Two years later, in 1988, Porsche Canada’s manager and former racing driver David Deacon brought the series to Canada and after securing sponsorships from some of the biggest names in motorsport, named it the Rothmans Porsche Turbo Cup. Apart from a healthy purse for the series winners, the season champion won a seat in a Rothmans-backed 962C at the next year’s running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The races eventually spread overseas to countries like France but remained extremely popular in Canada. The “Turbo Cup” cars, as they came to be called, were 944 Turbo models built by the Weissach factory specifically to race in the Cup Series. These racers weighed around 600 lbs less than a regular 944 Turbo and came equipped with numerous performance enhancements such as magnesium wheels, intake, and oil sump, a smaller and lighter alternator, bespoke brakes, and Bilstein suspension. The inside featured a steel roll car along with a Recaro racing seat and the absence of any convenience features like air conditioning. The 2.5L inline 4-cylinder engine got a larger output turbocharger, sending 250 HP and 272 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential and close-ratio 5th gear. Only 39 examples were ever produced by Porsche over the series’ three-year lifespan, making the 944 Turbo Cup one of the rarest Porsches one could own. This particular example, Chassis # WP0AA0950JN165096, is a low-mileage 944 Turbo Cup with only 10,099 km (6275 miles) on the odometer and a single private owner. On top of multiple podium finishes throughout its history, this pedigreed racer was driven by famed driver Ron Fellows in the 1990 Series to an 8th Overall finish and still proudly wears that same livery. Just before the last race of the 1990 series, the engine was reportedly rebuilt by Ron Fellows team and still has the Porsche stamped lead clamps adorning the engine. Following the end of the series, this Porsche was purchased by the second owner in 1990, who removed the magnesium oil pan to keep it safe (The rare magnesium oil pan is included with the sale of the car). The car is all original from the rear quarters forward, including the hood, windshield, and other glass. Despite being involved in a rear-end collision with Ron at the wheel during the 1990 season, the accident damage was repaired properly, leaving the car in the proper spec and condition. This rare Turbo Cup will need some normal timeout and safety items addressed before it is ready to hit the track again but it runs and drives without an issue as it is. These Weissach factory-built Porsche race cars are few and far between, making examples at this price point with such low mileage and exceptional history, an absolute must-have for both Porsche collectors and race enthusiasts alike. Given their pedigree, they are eligible for HSR, PCA Club Races, and more while also perfectly gracing the lawn of any Porsche-specific Concours event. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive a copy of the logbook, numerous spare parts, including a seat, suspension components, the original steering wheel utilized by Ron Fellows, a 944 Turbo Cup transmission, the original magnesium oil pan, and more, along with period photos featuring this 944 Turbo Cup in its glory days. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The body of this example is very straight overall, free from any obvious dents or big dings, and all of the shut gaps are very good for a race car. All of the graphics are applied in the correct places and look very nice with minimal sun fading. The painted hood graphic is original from the last Rothmans Turbo Cup race it was in, as is the original turbo cup-specific fiberglass hood. The car was originally red. There is evidence of green in some areas from when it was painted in the Fuji Film livery during the 1988 season prior to its current livery. The paint is nice and consistent throughout, and the stickers are applied with care. Overall, the car is very presentable cosmetically, especially considering it is a race car. We believe the process graphics sticker on the roof is original, as are the stickers on the windshield. The windshield appears to be original as well, with factory stickers still applied to it. As seen in footage of the Rothman series in 1990, during this car’s last race with Ron Fellows at the wheel, it did spin and hit a barrier, causing damage to the rear, which was properly repaired by the previous owner who replaced the rear valance trunk floor and rear sections of the quarter panels. Overall, this car is cosmetically excellent per race car standards, and you really wouldn’t touch anything if you intended to do some vintage racing or even take the car on the show field. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be original with correct insignias, including the windshield. The windshield does have some small stone peppering throughout, but no cracks or other serious chips are evident. All of the exterior trim fits nicely and is relatively supple for its age, considering it is a race car. Wheels INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is acceptable for a race car with the original original cage still intact, the original date-coded Riccaro seat and passenger seat in place, with carpeting in place from the rear seats forward. The carpeting in the rear seating section has been removed. The current steering wheel installed is incorrect, but the nice original Ron Fellows steering wheel comes included with the car. The odometer shows 10,099 km which we believe to be original. Functionality And Accessories All of the gauges appear to function correctly. The headlights have been removed. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items, such as the racing harnesses, seats, etc. will need to be addressed prior to any track time. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay is extremely original with its original magnesium intake and factory stickers present throughout. It even comes with its original magnesium oil pan included. The engine bay is highly correct for a turbo cup car with its original suspension strap bar mounts, no power steering, and its correct fiberglass hood. As told by the previous owner, who bought the car in 1990 from the original team, he claims that before its last race, the engine was rebuilt by Porsche and sealed with lead clamps that are still present on the car. We believe the engine is original to the car and has the correct prefix number. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Trunk Area The trunk area is sparse and completely empty, with no carpeting. Acceptable for a race car. Underside The underside is original and tidy for a race car. MECHANICALS Engine The car cold starts well and sounds very healthy, with a loud growl coming from the turbo cup-specific Walker exhaust, which sounds wonderful. The car makes linear, smooth power throughout all the gears, and there are no issues to note. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Transmission The transmission feels great, with no grinding upon shifting or other issues to note. However, the clutch is a bit on or off and chatters sometimes upon takeoff. Brakes And Suspension The brakes function as they should, stopping quickly and smoothly and free from chattering or fading. The suspension feels firm and tight over bumps, with no issues to note. Again, if racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Tires The original magnesium cup wheels still have their original tri-coat pearlescent finish albeit they are fairly beat up. Currently, it has Hoosier Slicks in good condition but with 2016 date codes. DRIVING EXPERIENCE The 944 Turbo Cup feels incredibly special when sitting behind the wheel. Just knowing you are sitting in a Weissach-built, factory Porsche race car from the 1980s is a special experience in and of itself, but when coupled with the sound of the exhaust, the Recaro seat wrapped around your sides, and the perfectly balanced cornering characteristics and power, the experience is truly unmatched. They do everything right, on and off the track. These are tame, street-able cars when you want them to be and ferocious track terrors at the drop of the green flag. 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo Cup 4 LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Five years after the launch of the original Capri, in 1974, Ford decided to introduce a practical element to their market-leading Capri. The original car is well known as being influenced by the iconic Mustang, but interestingly for the new 1973 Mustang II, Dearborn had a good look at what their European division was doing with their Capri II which was being developed at the same time. Similar outcomes in many respects, with both being somewhat overshadowed by the originals, however, of the two very different cars, the Capri II was arguably the better. The design brief was to improve the boot access and space, and resolve the poor rearward visibility, and the new 'Hatchback' design was bang-on-trend. Apart from the Reliant Scimitar, no other sports coupé combined the folding seat and rear hatch combination. Around 150 changes separated the original and Capri II, but the engines and much of the running gear and chassis design were carried over. Prior to the arrival of the 3000 Ghia and much later the JPS, the 3000GT was the top of the Capri II range. Powered by a 2,993cc V6 generating 138bhp and 174lb/ft it was quick and, with independent coil springs, telescopic dampers, MacPherson struts, an anti-roll bar and rack and pinion steering, it handled really well. Never known to miss a marketing opportunity, Ford UK decided that it would be advantageous if their new 3000GT could be seen by as many people as possible in the right environment, so the decision was made to gift one of the early cars to Silverstone Circuits Ltd to be used as the circuit's first 'Flying Doctor' Medical Car. Finished in Daytona Yellow with a black vinyl roof and sporting their new Mk 3S alloys, the Capri certainly looked the part, particularly when sign-written with Silverstone Resuscitation Unit down each side. It was in use until the early 1980s and must have been seen by millions of people The car was subsequently enjoyed by two further owners before being purchased by our vendor, Brian Pallett, in March 2013. Brian is a friend of Silverstone Auctions and was the circuit manager of Silverstone for many years. We understand that the car has been repainted in its original Daytona Yellow and has been regularly serviced and kept garaged. As an interesting aside, PTW 473M had a minor action role in the 2018 film 'Yardie' directed by Idris Elba. The film is set in London in 1983 and the car can be seen outside a rather seedy Turkish Social Club. 1974 Ford Capri II 3000GT Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

FIA HTP Papers. Highly eligible with Goodwood provenance. Road registered. The Lotus Eleven was a racing car built from 1956 to 1958 and proved to be very competitive particularly in the hands of British racing driver Graham Capel. Graham had seen how successful the Ferrari 250 Breadvan and had been and decided to apply the same principles to his own Lotus Eleven by adding the distinctive long low roofline and pizza oven rear window. Capel’s car finished second in class at Goodwood on 12th September 1962 paving the way for a handful of other Elevens being converted to coupes. Most of the converted Elevens over the proceeding years were converted back to original open specification. Fascinated by Capel’s story Lotus aficionado David Cooke tracked down Graham Chapel, who still had some of the original Breadvan bodywork including its iconic hardtop. He also had a Lotus Eleven series 2 project which he was in the process of rebuilding. I deal was agreed and David with Capel’s assistance utilised the skill of friend, pre-war Alfa Romeo expert and renowned ‘resurrectionist’ Neil Twyman, the man behind the CEGGA-Ferrari, this Lotus was painstakingly converted. As with Davids CEGGA Ferrari rebuild having access to the original constructor along with drawings proved invaluable, recreating the car as per original, even down to its period correct BMC Squadron Blue bodywork including Capel’s original sponsors David Plumstead Racing. David enjoyed many successful races in the UK and Europe with the highlight being the Moss Trophy at Goodwood 72 members meeting in 2014. In the hands of Joe Twyman and Olly Bryant the little Breadvan finished half a second behind its more powerful rival the Aston Martin DB4 GT having repeatedly changed places with the Aston. This much loved unique car will certainly be welcomed at numerous historic events in the UK and abroad.
