  • 1963-lancia-flaminia-gtl-3c-28-touring

    The Lancia Flaminia was produced from spring 1957 until the beginning of 1970. Just like its predecessor, the Aurelia, Flaminia also stood for a Roman road the Via Flaminia. Presented in Geneva in March 1957, the shape of the saloon (called Berlina) was modern and understated, Yet the design had a major influence on future saloons like no other. Just as with the Aurelia, the engine was a V6, then offered only by Lancia. In the beginning, the power of the 2.5 litre stood at 102 horsepower, which, in 1961, was increased to 110 horsepower and with the 2.8 litre, arriving towards the end of 1962, 128 horsepower were available in its basic version. In the 3C version with three Weber twin carburettors, available from autumn 1963, the engine delivered up to 150 hp, giving the Flaminia impressive performance. Traditionally, Lancia also commissioned special coachwork based on the same platform. As with the Appia, different concepts were chosen, realised by Pininfarina, Touring and Zagato. Pininfarina built an elegant 4-seater coupé for longer journeys and Touring designed a sporty 2-seater as well as a 2+2 and finally Zagato came up with a super sports car fit for the affluent gentleman with racing ambitions. The Flaminia offered, one of only 300 2+2 Touring bodied examples called GTL built, was completed towards the end of 1963 and most probably imported from Italy at an early stage. It was first registered in Switzerland on the 15th of February 1964. From the beginning of the 70‘s, the noble coupé remained with the same family for 45 years and in the early 80s its coach work was repainted. In 2013 the cylinder heads on the carburettors were overhauled and several other technical tasks completed. Afterwards the Flaminia was driven very sparingly and finally de-registered in September 2019. In 2024/25 the rather patinated interior was restored and new carpets and rubber mats were fitted. At the same time the middle exhaust silencer was replaced together with the track rod and a service was completed. Now the rare coupé is in good to very good overall condition and has most probably only covered around 113’000 kilometres. The car will be handed over to a new owner with the latest Veteran MOT completed in March 2025. 1963 Lancia Flaminia GTL 3C 2.8 Touring Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6

    THE 906 CARRERA 6: LAST OF THE ROAD-LEGAL RACECARS Although it was a successor to Porsche’s winning 904 GTS racecar, the 906 Carrera 6 featured a nearly comprehensive redesign, with development closely supervised by Ferdinand Piëch himself in the factory experimental department. Summarized in a nutshell, the 904 was the ultimate racing variant of the four-cylinder 356 model, while the 906 was the first racing machine based on the new 911 road car. The 906 boasted a featherweight multi-tubular spaceframe chassis of notable stiffness, powered by a 210-horsepower six-cylinder Carrera engine, and wrapped in molded fiberglass bodywork. With a low weight of just 1,235 pounds, the model possessed a remarkable power-to-weight ratio that was masterfully realized in numerous forthcoming competition victories. A total of 65 Carrera 6 examples were produced, of which 52 had the 2.0-liter engine. In the hands of privateer drivers, the model utterly dominated world-class 2-liter endurance racing for two seasons while becoming one of the most memorably powerful and beautiful competition automobiles of its era. Major accomplishments during 1966 included victories at the Targa Florio and Paris Grand Prix, a sweep of 4th through 7th place at Le Mans, and class wins at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, and Monza. Privateer wins extended well into 1968 as the 906 dominated continental sports car races and SCCA events. Even today, the shape of the 906 Carrera 6 is instantly recognizable to Porsche enthusiasts worldwide, perhaps as iconic as the 911 itself. It represents one of the most significant models Stuttgart ever produced—and the final road-legal racecar Porsche ever built. CHASSIS NUMBER 906-127 According to a Kardex on file, as well as research submitted by the consignor, chassis number 906-127 was factory-finished in classic Signal Red paint and shod with Dunlop racing tires before being delivered in March 1966. The sleek racecar was sold new to Josef “Sepp” Greger, a Munich-based Volkswagen-Porsche dealer who successfully competed with both marques, including participation in the most famous European hillclimbs and endurance events of the era, sometimes even serving as a factory Works driver. Mr. Greger raced this car extensively from 1966 to late 1968, winning the 2-Liter European Hillclimb Championship in 1966 while recording 10 wins and a 2nd-place finish during 14 races that season. The car was also integral to his 1968 European Mountain Championship (the first of three Greger would win), accounting for seven additional class wins. This rigorous racing use obviously took a toll on the car’s original engine, as it was replaced during Greger’s ownership with a correct 906 motor, engine number 906-162. Following the conclusion of the 1968 season, 906-127 was sold to Kurt Hild, also of Munich, who raced it for the duration of the 1969 and 1970 seasons. It then passed to Manfred Pade of Dusseldorf who raced it throughout 1971 and 1972. In the winter between the two seasons, the body was converted to a spyder configuration in the approximate style of the 917 PA experimental racecar, and it competed that way in 1972 with improved results, including class wins at Wunstorf and Merziger. The car is accompanied by correspondence between Greger and Porsche, the original German registration (Kraftfahrzeugbrief), and the original ONS-Wagenpass from its competition years, an important piece of documentation that essentially served as a registration with the German racing authorities. In 1973, 906-127 was acquired from Pade by Herbert Adamczyk, who took it to Macau; it is still accompanied by the export document in his name. Still wearing its spyder bodywork, it was raced in the 1973 Macau Grand Prix weekend by Acamcyzk and Jim Sweeney, but it was a DNF in both races. During this period it was also occasionally used as a road car around the island, which must have been something to experience—both from behind the wheel and as a spectator. During its full competition history the car was reportedly entered in some 80 events and achieved more class wins than almost any other 906, and had among the best competition history of any privately owned 906. Adamczyk sold the Porsche in 1978 to Bob Garretson, who would eventually bring the car to Southern California and sell it to Michael Hager of Tustin. It was disassembled for restoration, but the work never began in earnest. In 1986 the project was acquired by the noted longtime Porsche enthusiast Gerry Sutterfield, who quickly sold it to Jeff Hayes; nonetheless the car remained unrestored for nearly two decades. In 2002, the 906 was acquired by an owner in West Palm Beach, Florida, and in the following year it was purchased by Jean Goutal of New York City. It was in Mr. Goutal’s ownership that 906-127 finally received its long-awaited restoration, in the hands of the highly respected Porsche racecar specialist Kevin Jeanette, and his restoration/racing company Gunnar Racing. Over a three-year period the car was largely returned to its original delivery configuration, including both mechanical and cosmetic considerations. Extensive attention to detail included the utilization of what was reportedly an original factory tail section for the bodywork, while the remaining body panels were recreated out of properly molded fiberglass. As part of this work the Carrera 6 was fitted with a correct 906 magnesium-case motor, number 906-133, and a correct magnesium gearbox, number 906-157. While efforts were taken to replicate numerous period-correct details, such as a decaying period Nürburgring scrutineering sticker that was discovered during disassembly, measures were also taken to ensure the car can be reliably enjoyed in events, such as the installation of newly fabricated fuel cells. Perhaps most significantly, the original owner Sepp Greger visited the project to advise on the work, thereby helping to address numerous original details, such as the reinstallation of the pedals that he had drilled out for additional lightness in 1966—something that he commented may have been for naught, as they had forgotten to sweep out the metal shavings and thus no weight was actually saved. Following completion of the masterful restoration, the 906 was exhibited by Mr. Goutal at the Rennsport Reunion at Daytona in 2007, winning First in Class, and at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance 2009, where the car received the Porsche Award and an Amelia Award. In 2010, 906-127 was acquired by the well-known second-generation vintage racing driver James Lindsay of England, and he prepared it for track use and drove it in the 2011 Spa 6 Hours. The Carrera 6 was then sold in 2012 to a gentleman in Albany, New York, from whom it was acquired by the current caretaker. The Porsche is currently fitted with a high-performance motor built in 2012 by the 901 Shop of Stuart, Florida. Specified with a 2.3-liter displacement and aspiration via Weber carburetors, this engine has been tuned for vintage racing applications and reportedly develops 228 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The modern engine ensures the next caretaker can continue to enjoy the car in hot laps without worrying about the authentic 906 Carrera engine. Indeed, the present owner has run the car at Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, as well as enjoyed it on two extended rallies with other 906s through the Rocky Mountains, and describes it as “running reliably and well.” Further, the car has been outfitted by its longtime caretakers at Road Scholars of Durham, North Carolina, with an intercom in the cockpit, including Bluetooth capability for music, as well as a cabin-cooling system, ensuring a level of comfort while on the road. Rest assured, the rebuilt, correct 901/20 Carrera 6 engine number 906-133, which was equipped during restoration and is only one number away from this car’s original engine, is fitted to a stand and separately included with the car. Chassis number 906-127 is accompanied by an impressive history file that includes numerous historic photographs, a copy of the factory Kardex, the original ONS-Wagenpass from its ownership by Manfred Pade, and many restoration photographs and descriptions of Kevin Jeanette’s process in conducting the intricately detailed restoration. Also included with the car is the very rare original Momo Monza steering wheel purchased by Manfred Pade and installed during his ownership; Mr. Pade bestowed this upon Mr. Goutal during the latter’s ownership. Remarkably documented, and authenticated by its original owner during an especially meticulous and correct restoration, this 906 must surely be one of the finest examples of the Carrera 6 in existence—well-known, superbly finished, and exactingly maintained by respected connoisseurs within the marque niche. 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT Outlaw

    The Lancia Aurelia B20 GT came from humble beginnings. The original Aurelias had the first production V6 engines, and it only took a matter of time before people started testing their limits. The first series of B20 GT cars were built in early 1950. They were 2-door sports cars and were considered some of the first Gran Turismo cars in the world. During the 1951 Mille Miglia, demand outstripped supply for these little sports cars after proving their worth during the races. With an adept chassis and significant power for the time, the cars were becoming popular and eventually evolved over time spanning the course of 6 different series of Aurelia B20 GTs. Not often does the idea come about of turning an Aurelia B20 GT into some sort of “outlaw”, a car that is restored and upgraded without the usual rules of engagement if concours shows. Thornely Kelham of Gloucestershire isn’t just your normal restoration facility, as they have the skills and know-how to create designs anew. Having sourced and restored the “Bracco” Aurelia B20 GT, a special racecar that took 2nd overall in the Mille Miglia and a scored a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1951, Thornely was acutely aware of the intricacies of the Aurelia platform, but also heavily drawn towards it. One of the most notable features of the Bracco car was the hot rod-like chopped roof, no doubt in an effort to streamline the car at the time. After the restoration and appearance at Pebble Beach in 2015, the idea was planted of a Fuorilegge (“outlaw” in Italian), which brings us to this special car. The 1st B20GT Outlaw project began with an American collector asking Thornley Kelham if they would build something like the Bracco car, but with modern upgrades paired with the “outlaw” philosophy that has been popularized by the Porsche 356 community. With “about a half a second of hesitation” they said yes, they could do that. They found a disheveled 6th series Aurelia, stripped it down to the bare bones, and began to chop, widen, and create the outlaw. Over 5,000 hours were invested in that first car and the cars after it, it being the test bed and having a large amount of creative license to create what Thornley Kelham thought would be the best interpretation. All four fenders were widened, fatter tires fitted, Jaguar D-type style wheels added, bumpers and rain rails removed, the front turn signals hidden inside of the head lights, Nardi scoop cut into the hood. On the inside, an Alcantara headliner, Porsche Speedster seats, and an FIA-spec roll cage certainly gives the vibe of a street racer with class. Mechanically, the car was quite different than before. While the Lancia uses a Flaminia V6 engine, it was bored out to 2.8-liters with more powerful camshafts and a custom exhaust to produce about 185hp, giving a healthy boost over a stock engine. The steering rack was upgraded to a rack and pinion setup, brakes upgraded to discs on all four corners (but inboard brakes on the rear), and the sliding pillar suspension has custom gas-filled shock absorbers to look factory but produce modern handling capabilities. When the time came to reveal the newly-created outlaw, Thornley Kelham were a little anxious as they were not sure how the car would be received. Fortunately for them, the B20 GT outlaw was met with thunderously positive responses at the 2015 Salon Prive’ held at Blenheim Palace. Two orders for the cars were made that day, and then two more shortly afterwards. Soon enough, Thornley Kelham were building their 5th and 6th cars in January of 2019. Aurelia B20 GT Outlaw chassis #3, the car here, is one of the early orders for Thornley Kelham. Finished in Lancia Racing Blue with a crème stripe over the hood and paired with a beautiful Oxblood Red interior. This vehicle is a true masterpiece, owing to its many meaningful specifications. One of which is the seats which are inspired by the 275 GTB to help preserve the overall Italian-ness of the car. Another is the 2.8-liter engine, which, like other Aurelia Outlaws, now has fuel injection. This car however has been fitted with a more improved fuel injection system allowing for an output of 225hp. Air conditioning was added to keep you cool, an upgraded pedal setup for supreme feedback, a special smaller Lancia steering wheel, an analog gauge panel under the dash, Series 1 Art Deco headlights, and a few other subtle touches that set this car apart from any others. The sloping roofline is still one of the most stunning parts of the car, hand formed by the artesian craftsman of Thornley Kelham. Since its completion in 2019, this Outlaw has garnered just over 3k miles with drives in the 2019 Coupe de Alps (France) and in the Zoute Grand Prix (Belgium). When it was brought over to the US, it was cautiously air-freighted to avoid the possibility of sea transport corrosion. After touching down, the vehicle was then displayed at the Quail in 2021 and was most recently featured on an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage. When the Lancia arrived at Canepa, eyes wandered over to the car and began taking in all the details. The deep Lancia Blue color, the swooping body lines, the immense attention to detail, and the supreme craftsmanship. One of the most unique and stunning cars to come through Canepa’s doors, it was certain that the Lancia was in the right place among the other cars in our facility. Being able to custom design and build a car with the highest degree of quality and attention to detail is quickly becoming a lost art. Finding skilled craftsman to carry out someone’s ultimate vision is increasingly difficult, but the team at Thornley Kelham have not only managed to do it, but they have completely surpassed the previously-set bar. From the nickel-plated hardware to the perfect metal shaping of all the fenders by hand, the custom upholstered seats to the ultimate tactile and sensory feedback that the steering, suspension, and the 2.8-liter Lancia V6. The Lancia Aurelia B20GT Outlaw is a car that will be remembered and cherished for years to come. 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT Outlaw Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1960 Maserati 3500 GT

    The Maserati 3500 GT, launched at the 1957 Geneva Salon, was designed by chief engineer Giulio Alfieri and was essentially developed from the company's first street car, the AG6 of 1946, which was offered only as a rolling chassis and was bodied by numerous exotic coachbuilders. It is a testament to the chassis design that continued to evolve through the 1960s and ultimately powered the Sebring and Mistral. In its 3500 GT form, the twin-plug, 3.5 litre inline-six could carry its passengers upwards of 140 mph, which was an impressive figure for the era. The best possible components went into the 3500 GT, including a ZF all-synchro four-speed gearbox, a Salisbury axle, Alford and Adler front suspension, and Girling brakes. Mechanical developments were steady throughout production, with a five-speed ZF gearbox made optional in 1960 and then standardized the next year. Massive Alfin drum brakes were offered until 1959, when three key options were added, which were front disc brakes, centre-lock Borrani wire wheels, and a limited-slip differential. The rarest factory iteration of the 3500 GT was the Spyder, which was bodied by Alfredo Vignale on a slightly shortened 100-inch wheelbase chassis. A total of just 242 3500 Spyders were built compared to nearly 2,000 in coupe form, this included 9 early cars of which 3 were prototypes and 6 were pre-series cars. The ‘pre-series’ cars can be differentiated from standard production run cars in a number of ways, including: a 2cm lower roof line, a longer bonnet, a narrower body, smaller rear lights, a visually different rear number plate light, and a much more styled front air intake. The example we are offering for sale is one of the early pre-series cars and was originally delivered in May 1960 to a Mr Thomas Fowler Milbank who resided in Rome, Italy. The car was originally finished in Nero over Marrone leather and was sold new with a rare 4 speed ZF gearbox, carburettors, and front-disc/rear-drum brakes. In the mid 1960s, the car was sold to a Mr Whitman of California, USA who owned the car for over 10 years before selling it in 1976 to Terry W. Pryde, a collector from Virginia, USA. Mr Pryde cherished the car for over 30 years and treated it to a restoration during the 1980s. Eventually, in 2008, the car was sold once more and was brought back to Europe before being treated to a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration by a Maserati collector in Southern Germany. It sits today in wonderful condition, wearing its original factory colours. Factory records show the engine number to match the chassis with the internal number being '403' and the body number to be '8'. Maserati Classiche Dept. have also confirmed the car was originally supplied with a 4-speed ZF gearbox. The 3500 GT Vignale Spyder is a stunning example of Italian craftsmanship and design and would make a fantastic addition to any classic car collection.

  • 1960 Ferrari 250 GT

    Blessed with ingenuity, a competitive spirit, and an unyielding desire to be the best, Enzo Ferrari was a past master at perfecting his racing cars. That same determination permeated the marque as Maranello expanded its road car offerings in the 1950s, and as technological developments continued at pace, the firm’s grand tourers just got better and better—not least the 250 GT Coupé. It is often the case that the latest example of a given model presents as the best of the breed, and that is certainly true of the 250 GT Coupé, where late-production cars built from 1959 onwards are considered to be the most accomplished. Four-wheel disc brakes were introduced from that year, while the 3.0-litre Colombo V-12 evolved from the original Tipo 128C to the twin-distributor Tipo 128D, and in 1960 the outside-plug Tipo 128F. That final iteration also brought with it a four-speed overdrive gearbox; combining the most powerful engine with relaxed motorway cruising and superior braking, the 1960 250 GT Coupés were truly grand tourers par excellence. Chassis number 2003 GT is among the final 250 GT Coupés produced, completed in September of 1960. Finished in Grigio Conchiglia (MM 16249) over a vinyl and leather interior in Nero (VM 8500), it was built for the Italian market and delivered new to Nicolo Denora of ATS Automobili in Milan and registered MI 506597. Incredibly, the car was pictured alongside Enzo Ferrari at Monza in 1961. Il Commendatore is seen leaning on the driver’s side of chassis 2003 GT, which is clearly identifiable by its registration number (photograph courtesy of Marcel Massini). That same year, 2003 GT was sold to its second owner, Luigi Macchi, a Milanese industrialist. Remaining with him for just under a year, the car passed through the hands of an owner in Bergamo and was re-registered there before moving to Naples in June 1964. The Ferrari remained in Naples until at least 1974, and was later seen at the Raid Ferrari d’Epoca in Modena, having been repainted white and with its interior retrimmed in red leather. Passing to an owner in Ravenna in 1989, the car remained in Italy until it was purchased by a French enthusiast in 2017, yet it would remain registered in Italy. Under his ownership, the car was shown at the 3rd annual Concours d’Elegance Suisse held at Castle Coppet. Later in 2018, 2003 GT was purchased by the present owner, and was subsequently returned to its original colour of Grigio Conchiglia yet retained its smartly retrimmed red leather interior. With the current owner, the car has remained largely in static storage but received some mechanical and cosmetic work from Tower Garage in Marlow in April of 2022 and further mechanical work by QV London LTD in July of 2023. More than 60 years since the final 250 GT Coupé left Maranello, these magnificent grand tourers still exhibit a level of comfort and performance that ranks them among the very best—traits that Enzo Ferrari’s earliest customers came to know and expect. That this example has a tangible link to the man who became the legend, having been photographed alongside Enzo Ferrari at the home of Italian motorsport, only makes it stand out further as a truly remarkable example. 1960 Ferrari 250 GT RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Blessed with ingenuity, a competitive spirit, and an unyielding desire to be the best, Enzo Ferrari was a past master at perfecting his racing cars. That same determination permeated the marque as Maranello expanded its road car offerings in the 1950s, and as technological developments continued at pace, the firm’s grand tourers just got better and better—not least the 250 GT Coupé. It is often the case that the latest example of a given model presents as the best of the breed, and that is certainly true of the 250 GT Coupé, where late-production cars built from 1959 onwards are considered to be the most accomplished. Four-wheel disc brakes were introduced from that year, while the 3.0-litre Colombo V-12 evolved from the original Tipo 128C to the twin-distributor Tipo 128D, and in 1960 the outside-plug Tipo 128F. That final iteration also brought with it a four-speed overdrive gearbox; combining the most powerful engine with relaxed motorway cruising and superior braking, the 1960 250 GT Coupés were truly grand tourers par excellence. Chassis number 2003 GT is among the final 250 GT Coupés produced, completed in September of 1960. Finished in Grigio Conchiglia (MM 16249) over a vinyl and leather interior in Nero (VM 8500), it was built for the Italian market and delivered new to Nicolo Denora of ATS Automobili in Milan and registered MI 506597. Incredibly, the car was pictured alongside Enzo Ferrari at Monza in 1961. Il Commendatore is seen leaning on the driver’s side of chassis 2003 GT, which is clearly identifiable by its registration number (photograph courtesy of Marcel Massini). That same year, 2003 GT was sold to its second owner, Luigi Macchi, a Milanese industrialist. Remaining with him for just under a year, the car passed through the hands of an owner in Bergamo and was re-registered there before moving to Naples in June 1964. The Ferrari remained in Naples until at least 1974, and was later seen at the Raid Ferrari d’Epoca in Modena, having been repainted white and with its interior retrimmed in red leather. Passing to an owner in Ravenna in 1989, the car remained in Italy until it was purchased by a French enthusiast in 2017, yet it would remain registered in Italy. Under his ownership, the car was shown at the 3rd annual Concours d’Elegance Suisse held at Castle Coppet. Later in 2018, 2003 GT was purchased by the present owner, and was subsequently returned to its original colour of Grigio Conchiglia yet retained its smartly retrimmed red leather interior. With the current owner, the car has remained largely in static storage but received some mechanical and cosmetic work from Tower Garage in Marlow in April of 2022 and further mechanical work by QV London LTD in July of 2023.

  • 1993 Jaguar XJ220

    This exceptional example of Jaguar’s 1990's rocket ship finished production on the 11th of January 1993 and was delivered new to Masao Kosugi in June of that year. The car was specified in Spa Silver over a Smoke Grey interior, which is exactly how the car presents today, of course featuring the 5-speed manual gearbox mated to the potent twin-turbo V6 engine. Mr Kosugi clearly took careful ownership of the XJ220, bringing it to TWR Jaguar Sport twice in 1993 for its 1,500 mile and then 5,000 mile service, despite having only covered 350 kilometers by mid-November that year. After this, the car was sent to Japan where it was to be enjoyed for a good portion of its life. During its time in the country, the car saw three services, one of which was a major service in 2014 with parts supplied by XJ220 specialist Don Law, of which has been confirmed by Don himself. Later, in 2015, the car was acquired by Mr Gordon of London who proceeded to bring the XJ220 back into the United Kindgom and subsequently registered the car in November of that year. Mr Gordon would keep the XJ220 for only one year, when in late 2016 DK Engineering were given the car to sell. During this time, major works were carried out in our own workshop, totalling over 100 hours of work. The car would quickly pass to its current owner after works were completed and subsequently, in November of the same year, the car was delivered to its current owner. In June of 2023, the car arrived back at DK Engineering after the decision was made to sell the car. During preparation for sale the car was sent to Don Law, the world-leading XJ220 specialist, who proceeded to carry out a major service and fuel cell replacement. Alongside the service, further works were also carried out that resulted in almost £35k being spent. This included, but was not limited to: a replacement clutch, replacement fuel hoses, replacement fuel pumps, a full suspension damper rebuild, brake caliper overhaul, multiple gasket replacement including the head gasket, replacement throttle cables, and the well regarded TWR coolant pipe upgrade. Today, this car has covered just 5,350 kilometers from new and having been in careful ownership throughout its life and fresh from major works, is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. This example is available to view by appointment, at our showrooms based just outside of London. 1993 Jaguar XJ220 D.K.

  • 1963 Aston Martin DB5

    Originally registered on 1 December 1963 – the first year of production – this Aston Martin DB5 has led a full life with its exclusively UK-based owners. Chassis number DB5/1957/R was supplied via Brooklands of Bond Street in the colour combination of Caribbean Pearl with red interior. It was fitted with the five-speed ZF gearbox and it’s thought that its first owner worked for Manger & Henley Ltd of Borough High Street. In the mid-1980s it was acquired by John Goldsmith, who had set up marque specialist Goldsmith & Young in 1980. Registered 73 GYL, it was the second Aston that Goldsmith had owned – after his GT-engined Series 5 DB4 Vantage – and he later recalled buying it from the father of his friend Tim Bisset. At that time, it was still painted Caribbean Pearl. Goldsmith was a keen racer and set about using his DB5 in competition, giving it wider arches in order to accommodate different wheels and tyres. He successfully raced it across the UK at circuits such as Oulton Park, and set the lap record around the Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch. When Goldsmith sold the car in 1991, he retained the numberplate 73 GYL, which was subsequently seen on the DB4 GT Zagato that he raced. The DB5, meanwhile, passed to a Mr Pitkethley – another marque enthusiast who also owned a DB6 – and was registered XMR 936A. In 2000, the engine was rebuilt and enlarged to 4.2 litres with Cosworth pistons. The Aston was also repainted Silver Birch and the interior was retrimmed in black. During the early 2000s, it made a number of appearances at charity and corporate events as part of the Character Cars fleet and was always fastidiously maintained. Recent work has included a new head gasket at Bell Sport Classic and this matching-numbers Aston Martin DB5 is now offered for sale by The Classic Motor Hub with an extensive history file and its original handbook. 1963 Aston Martin DB5 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda 3

    Available now, this stunning 280SL Pagoda from Hemmels is finished in metallic Grey with Red interior. This breathtaking 'perfect' classic has been restored according to the uncompromising standards of our Neugeboren Process, ensuring it looks, feels and drives like new. Of course the car is covered by our full, world-wide warranty. Those familiar with us know how incredibly rare it is to find a "new" Hemmels classic available for immediate acquisition. The car was originally created for a client just before the initial lockdown in the UK. The client necessarily confined the car to being displayed in his private garage, driving it less than 250 miles since delivery. Hence, this is an incredible opportunity to obtain a 280SL Pagoda of the absolute highest possible quality from Hemmels without having to wait for the typical 18-24 month build period. Note that the car is left-hand drive and ready for use in the USA or mainland Europe, though touring on UK roads with a LHD is no chore -other than avoiding the admirers who are awestruck by its beauty! Respectfully, we anticipate a significant interest in this Pagoda, and we advise potential collectors to contact Hemmels poste haste. In fairness, Hemmels will be replying to enquiries in the order in which they are received, be it by phone, email or other means. 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda Hemmels Vault If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1992-bmw-alpina-b12-50

    In 1990, Alpina introduced the E31 B12 5.0 Coupé, based on the BMW 850i. The Grand Touring model was already a tremendous success for BMW, and this rarity quickly proved its worth among enthusiasts. Alpina always had its own vision, and they made significant technical modifications. Alpina used different pistons, larger intake valves, a new exhaust system, and a slightly modified Bosch Motronic engine management system. The B12 5.0 was exclusively available with a four-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, Alpina refined the chassis, fitted 17-inch, twenty-spoke wheels, and extended the front spoiler. Optionally – and present on this car – is the well-known Alpina striping. The mastermind behind this creation is genius Burkard Bovensiepen, who had a burning desire since 1962 to go beyond where BMW’s factory efforts ended. With an enormous focus on quality, Alpina impressed BMW so much with its Alpina kits in 1964 that BMW granted them factory warranty! And ours? As you may have realized by now: one of only 97 ever built, originally delivered in Germany, and complete with a comprehensive file of maintenance and history that documents its life in detail. Finished in Sonderlackierung Dunkel Sapphire Blue Metallic and in an exceptionally original condition, this example is waiting for a new owner! Will you come by?

  • 1960-ac-ace-bristol-1

    The postwar period was favorable for the revival of European automobile production. Several manufacturers developed new sports models that soon competed in major competitions. British brands were no exception, including the most prestigious brands such as Aston Martin, Jaguar, Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Among these flagships, AC Cars experienced a new lease of life thanks to the addition of a particularly elegant and racy sports car to its range, which would cement the brand's reputation. Introduced at the London Motor Show in late 1953, the new model, called the Ace, benefited from a lightweight tubular frame chassis designed by the brilliant Anglo-Portuguese engineer John Tojeiro, whose designs proved particularly effective in competition. Equipped with four independent wheel suspensions and a two-seat, spider-style aluminum body reminiscent of the Ferrari 166 MM and the Siata 208, the Ace was initially powered by the marque's pre-war 103 hp 6-cylinder engine. Aware that its latest model needed a more modern and powerful engine, the manufacturer signed a deal in 1956 with Bristol, which had revived the highly innovative 1971 cc M328 inline 6-cylinder engine with hemispherical combustion chambers that had powered the fast BMW 328 since 1936. Fitted to the British roadster, it was fed by three downdraft Solex carburettors and produced a whopping 120 hp, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and a top speed of just under 190 km/h. Bristol also committed to supplying AC Cars with its Type 100 transmission, which was far superior to the in-house model. In 1957, an AC Ace Bristol competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, demonstrating its exceptional reliability and performance. With Ken Rudd and Peter Bolton at the wheel, the small English car finished 10th overall, sandwiched between numerous factory cars, with an average speed of 157.52 km/h and a top speed of 209 km/h at the Hunaudières corner. The model continued to be successful in the race in subsequent years, particularly with a remarkable 7th place in the 1959 edition. That year, a certain Carroll Shelby won the race at the wheel of an Aston Martin DBR1. The Texan would remember the performance of the small AC and, a few years later, write a new chapter in the brand's history with the legendary Cobra. This gives the Ace Bristol an important and pivotal place in the brand's history. The example we offer (BEX1160) is one of 463 Bristol-engined vehicles produced from a total production run of 724 Aces. It was delivered new in New York with left-hand drive and was first registered on June 16, 1960. It was found equipped with a V8 engine in the 1980s. However, the original engine was preserved and restored in the 1990s by renowned British specialist Brian Classic. EXTERIOR The body features the original front and rear hoods bearing the number 1160. The dark red metallic paint dates back to the restoration in the 1990s and has a beautiful overall patina. The classicData appraiser's examination, with extensive photographic documentation, shows that the vehicle's underbody is free of impact marks, deformation, or significant corrosion. The wire wheels are fitted with new vintage Michelin tires. The spare tire is present and included. The vehicle has a tonneau cover and a convertible top with windows. The original tools (jack, crank, and hammer) are also included. INTERIOR The black leather interior is beautifully crafted. The left side of the driver's seat shows signs of wear. The instruments are complete, true to the original, and, according to the seller, in perfect condition, including the clock. The fuel gauge glass shows signs of corrosion (photo 108). The original mileage/hour meter has been replaced with a speedometer scaled in km/h (photo 108). MECHANICAL The engine, with a matching number, was recently completely overhauled by a French brand specialist. The compression of all cylinders was checked and is in good condition. During the restoration, an electric fan was installed and the exhaust was replaced with a stainless steel one. Currently, a 5-speed Alfa Romeo transmission is installed, but the original 4-speed gearbox (without overdrive) is supplied with the car. The AC Ace Bristol offered here features the then-available option of front disc brakes. 1960 AC Ace Bristol DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
