In the two decades between the World Rally Championship’s 1973 inception and Lancia exiting the stages at the end of 1992, the Italian marque proved the dominant force. So much so, it still holds the record as the most successful manufacturer with no fewer than 10 titles, including an unprecedented run to six consecutive crowns from 1987 to 1992. The latter success was underpinned by the Delta, a humble family hatchback introduced in 1979. While the Delta nameplate appeared during the hallowed Group B era, the model truly earned its Martini stripes once the more production-based Group A formula was adopted for 1987. Lancia’s engineering prowess eventually developed the car into a turbocharged, all-wheel drive champion that amassed 46 WRC event wins to cement its status as one of the great competition cars. Chassis number 458689, offered here, holds the distinction of having achieved two of those triumphs. Making its debut at Rally Portugal in 1989, two-time WRC champion Miki Biasion and co-driver Siviero Tiziano headed an Integrale podium lockout. Registered as “TO74784L” the car next retired from a round of the European Rally Championship, where it was piloted by Markku Alén. Mikael Ericsson claimed a second WRC victory across the 30 stages comprising Rally Argentina in August before 1978 title winner Alén snared 3rd place in Australia. Those three WRC appearances helped Lancia and Biasion to a WRC Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ title clean sweep in 1989. After its stint with the factory team, the car would contest select national events before reappearing in the WRC in Argentina and Sanremo in 1991. Approximately 25 years ago, the Lancia was acquired by its consigning owner, a rally driver during the Group B era. While in his care, the Delta received a restoration by an Abarth mechanic. Accordingly, it presents in eight-valve 1989 specification wearing its period-correct Martini livery from Rally Portugal. A two-time WRC event winner, a double WRC title winner, and driven by two WRC greats, this Lancia Delta Integrale boasts outstanding pedigree and would make for a significant addition to any competition-themed collection. 1989 Lancia Delta HF Integrale 8V Group A RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

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

'Racing has played a major part in the development of all Aston Martin engines since Frank Halford designed the original 1.5-litre unit for Bamford & Martin. The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965. Aston Martin's post-war evolution took a giant step forward with the launch of the DB4 in 1958. Classically proportioned, the Touring Supperleggera-designed bodywork established an instantly recognisable and elegant appearance that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970. The engine was an all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft, six but the old W O Bentley supervised 3.0-litre unit had been superseded by a new design by Tadek Marek. The new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm, and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit. The Touring Superleggera body construction, which employed a lightweight tubular structure to support the aluminium-alloy body panels, was deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up a new, extremely stiff chassis platform. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones, while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage, instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. Five series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, with the more advanced ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened Series V DB4. Outwardly, there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics, Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops, Sundym glass, electric windows and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival) while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than nine movies of the series, beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. Completing build in October of 1963, this DB5 would see despatch to Mill Garages of Sunderland on 17th February 1964. Elegantly optioned from new in Dubonnet over Dark Grey Connolly VM8483, the DB5 was equipped with Dunlop RS5 tyres, Girling brakes, triple SU carburettors and an MPH speedometer. At the time of delivery, it bore the vehicle registration mark ‘RJX 1’. By the mid-1970s, the DB5 had been purchased by Kenneth Fiddes of Acharacle, Pencaithland and the car was taken off the road, where it would remain until 1999 when it was recommissioned for road use. Invoices are on file from the endeavours of numerous owners during the years to return the car to the road. The car would remain in Scotland, moving next into the care of a Mr Lawson and his prestigious Royal Circus in Edinburgh before moving down south. The accompanying history file documents invoices over a 40 year period and follows the car between keepers. Purchased by Dale Thomasson of Northolt in 1985, the car would be kept in a lockup garage until its sale in 2008 to Marien Van Schie of the Netherlands. In 2015, the car completed its restoration with John Smith of Wren Classics, latterly Tudor & Black Ltd, and with further finishing embellishments by JD Classics of Maldon, Essex. At this time, it was refinished in the iconic Silver Birch over Black leather. After four further years of storage, the car passed through our workshops in October 2019 where it received a mechanical recommissioning totalling just shy of £12,000. Following those works, DK handled the sale it its current custodian. In preparation for sale, this DB5 has been serviced by Nicholas Mee & Co with works including a overhauling the carburettors and correcting a wiring issue. Today this DB5 is available to view at our showrooms outside of London immediately, ready to be used and enjoyed. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 D.K.

The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965. Aston Martin's post-war evolution took a giant step forward with the launch of the DB4 in 1958. Classically proportioned, the Touring Supperleggera-designed bodywork established an instantly recognisable and elegant appearance that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970. The engine was an all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft, six but the old W O Bentley supervised 3.0-litre unit had been superseded by a new design by Tadek Marek. The new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm, and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit. The Touring Superleggera body construction, which employed a lightweight tubular structure to support the aluminium-alloy body panels, was deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up a new, extremely stiff chassis platform. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones, while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage, instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. Five series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, with the more advanced ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened Series V DB4. Outwardly, there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics, Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops, Sundym glass, electric windows and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival) while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than nine movies of the series, beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. Completing build in October of 1963, this DB5 would see despatch to Mill Garages of Sunderland on 17th February 1964. Elegantly optioned from new in Dubonnet over Dark Grey Connolly VM8483, the DB5 was equipped with Dunlop RS5 tyres, Girling brakes, triple SU carburettors and an MPH speedometer. At the time of delivery, it bore the vehicle registration mark ‘RJX 1’. By the mid-1970s, the DB5 had been purchased by Kenneth Fiddes of Acharacle, Pencaithland and the car was taken off the road, where it would remain until 1999 when it was recommissioned for road use. Invoices are on file from the endeavours of numerous owners during the years to return the car to the road. The car would remain in Scotland, moving next into the care of a Mr Lawson and his prestigious Royal Circus in Edinburgh before moving down south. The accompanying history file documents invoices over a 40 year period and follows the car between keepers. Purchased by Dale Thomasson of Northolt in 1985, the car would be kept in a lockup garage until its sale in 2008 to Marien Van Schie of the Netherlands. In 2015, the car completed its restoration with John Smith of Wren Classics, latterly Tudor & Black Ltd, and with further finishing embellishments by JD Classics of Maldon, Essex. At this time, it was refinished in the iconic Silver Birch over Black leather. After four further years of storage, the car passed through our workshops in October 2019 where it received a mechanical recommissioning totalling just shy of £12,000. Following those works, DK handled the sale it its current custodian. In preparation for sale, this DB5 has been serviced by Nicholas Mee & Co with works including a overhauling the carburettors and correcting a wiring issue. Today this DB5 is available to view at our showrooms outside of London immediately, ready to be used and enjoyed. Other Cars from D.K.

History The history of this Lotus XI has been the subject of extensive research by a prior owner, Don Burrows. In a nutshell it begins with the ex-Tommy Sopwith Equipe Endeavor car, chassis #164. That car’s period racing history appears to have ended with Graham Hill in a crash at Snetterton in 1956. The car’s chassis was then replaced with chassis #239. But what happened with the original Sopwith chassis #164? The car offered here could be that chassis. Below is a summary of the early racing history of the Sopwith chassis #164. After that is the research conducted by Don Burrows. The research is supported by voluminous correspondence with the Historic Lotus Register, prior owners, Lotus XI restorers, period racing records and reports, forensic examination of the chassis, and more. Burrows concluded, based upon this research, that the car is likely chassis #164, the original Sopwith Lotus XI chassis. The Period Racing Record Tommy Sopwith was the son of Sir Thomas Sopwith, who designed the famous Sopwith Camel biplane fighter aircraft for England in World War 1. Tommy, an experienced racer himself, purchased chassis 164 initially for street use. He then had the car converted for racing use, and the car went on to have an extensive, and successful history in not only his hands, but also those of Graham Hill, Archie Scott Brown, and Harry Schell. Their team was known as “Equipe Endeavour.” The registration number “TMY 400” was secured upon original delivery to Sopwith in 1956. The car’s period racing history is reported below. May, 1956 Archie Scott Brown, Brands Hatch, 4th May, 1956 Graham Hill, Crystal, Palace, 3rd June, 1956 J.F. Crawley, Silverstone, 4th June, 1956 J.F. Crawley, Snetterton, 3rd June, 1956 Archie Scott Brown, Aintree, 3rd July, 1956 Harry Schell, Rouen, 3rd July, 1956 Reg Parnell, British G.P., 3rd July, 1956 Archie Scott Brown, Snetterton, 2nd Aug., 1956 Tommy Sopwith, Great Aulcom, 1st (hill climb) Sept., 1956 Tommy Sopwith, Prescott Hill Climb, DNF Sept., 1956 Tommy Sopwith, Brands Hatch, 1st in sprint Sept., 1956 Mac Fraser, Oulton Park, DNF Oct., 1956 Graham Hill, Snetterton, Shunt. (damaged steering) The Don Burrows Research According to the Historic Lotus Registry’s former president, Graham Capel, in a letter dated November 5, 1991, to the Lotus’ then owner, George Nuse of Norcross, Georgia (USA), this car was restored by Crostwaithe and Gardiner (“C&G”) from an original but dilapidated Lotus XI chassis delivered to them by Peter Bloor. Apparently Bloor had collected the chassis and additional body panels from various sources. Bloor commissioned C&G to restore the chassis and parts into a running car for him. A number of the chassis tubes were replaced, including repairs to the front of the chassis which had prior accident damage. C&G completely rebuilt the chassis and then they used it as the model to build an additional three or four replica Lotus XI’s. Capel went on to say that unlike the three replicas, Bloor’s car was the car with the original Lotus XI chassis sections, although he could not say exactly which Lotus XI that chassis had been. Capel was, however, able to link the Bloor chassis to its prior owner, Tony Florio of Surbiton, who had the chassis in the 1970’s. Capel further opined that Bloor’s now fully restored Lotus XI was not the ex-Tommy Sopwith car. However in that letter he did not further explain the reasons for that opinion. He did say that the connection of the Bloor with the Sopwith car may have come from the blue side pontoon that Bloor delivered along with the chassis and other parts to C&G to use in restoring the Lotus. However, Capel said that several Lotus XI’s were painted blue, so that this fact alone could not prove that this car was the Sopwith car. A copy of Mr. Capel’s letter is included in the photos section below. During the C&G restoration a new aluminum alloy body by Williams & Pritchard, the original builders of the Lotus XI bodies, was fitted to the fully restored chassis. The restoration was completed in 1988. In 1990 the Lotus was sold by Bloor through U.K. car dealer Chris Alford to George Nuse of Norcross, Georgia, USA. There the car remained in Nuse’s collection of historic racing cars for over a decade. It may have been raced, but only one time a vintage race at Road Atlanta honoring the Lotus marque. The Lotus was then purchased by Don Burrows of Santa Barbara, California in May, 2004. Burrows performed a mechanical refurbishment of the car as it had mostly been sitting on display for the past 10+ years. During this time Burrows began to research the history of the car. He contacted George Nuse to learn what he could about the car’s history, and who the prior owners were so that he could try and contact them. Nuse related that he purchased the car from Peter Bloor through the car dealer Chris Alford in the U.K. The name of Tony Florio was also associated with the car at some point as well. In addition Nuse said that the car could be the ex-Tommy Sopwith Lotus XI but that he did not have actual proof of that one way or the other. See May 6, 2004 correspondence from Nuse to Burrows below. Burrows found Tony Florio in England. Florio indicated that he owned two Lotus XI chassis and parts in the 1970’s. He said he could not recall specifically how, or from whom, he had acquired the two different chassis, but did recall that one of the chassis was damaged in the front. He restored one chassis as a road going club model and sold it. He later sold the second, damaged, chassis with some bits, but could not recall to whom. Interestingly, Peter Bloor acquired a Lotus XI Le Mans chassis with front end damage along with other Lotus XI parts during this same time period. He would later bring this chassis and parts to C&G to restore. Burrows then corresponded with Victor Thomas, founder of the Historic Lotus Register. That correspondence indicates that the original chassis for car #164 was subsequently replaced by chassis #239. Chassis #239 still existed as of the date of their correspondence, May 23, 2004. However, what happened to, and the whereabouts of, the original Sopwith chassis #164 was an open question. See the Victor Thomas correspondence of May 23, 2004 below. After concluding his research, Burrows wrote a summary of what he found and his conclusions. A copy of that summary is included below. The summary basically concludes that there are multiple reasons why this particular chassis could well be the original Sopwith chassis #164. This chassis, like the 1956 Sopwith chassis, was an early one based upon certain design characteristics of the front suspension that were changed at Lotus after the first 70 chassis had been built. The original chassis that Tony Florio acquired and later sold to Peter Bloor had front damage. A summary of period race records for #164 shows that the original #164 chassis sustained front end damage in the car’s last race with Graham Hill at Snetterton in 1964. According to correspondence from Victor Thomas, it seems that #164 was damaged significantly enough that the chassis was replaced by chassis #239. That would have left chassis #164 still existing in its damaged form, and available for later purchase by Florio. Florio did report that he did acquire an early chassis with front end damage in the 1970’s. Bloor reportedly obtained his original Lotus XI chassis from Florio. This was the same front damaged chassis that Bloor delivered to C&G to be repaired and restored into a Lotus XI, chassis number then unknown. Several copy Lotus XI’s were made by C&G using this original chassis as a model. When the C&G restoration was completed, the Lotus was sold by Bloor through Chris Alford to George Nuse in the U.S. Nuse then sold it to Burrows. The car had the name “Graham Hill” on it at that time. In 2007, Monte Shelton Jaguar in Portland, Oregon sold the Lotus to noted Lotus racer and collector, Nick Grewal. Grewal reportedly raced the Lotus in Europe and in the U.S. He invested heavily in the car generating another full binder of receipts which reportedly totals over $130,000. After a decade of ownership and development, the Lotus was sold from the Grewal collection to the car’s current owner. Under current ownership the Lotus has raced in California including the Rolex Monterey Reunion and the Sonoma Festival of Speed. The car has also been shown at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, and the Carmel Concours and the Avenue. The car won the Christie L. Miller British Cup at the Carmel Concours. The Lotus was most recently on the track at the CSRG Finale at Thunderhill in November, 2024. The car drove beautifully and was instantly up to speed. The car remains in excellent condition. Description The Lotus is equipped with split axle front suspension. The rear suspension is DeDion with twin trailing arms. Brakes are 9.5” outboard front and 9” inboard rear. Steering is Morris Minor rack & pinion. The wire wheels are 15X4.” Recent work on the Lotus includes a fresh Ivey Engines rebuild of its 1.5 liter Coventry Climax FWB engine. The engine now has two races on it. The eleven has new front brake calipers from Crosthwaite and Gardiner. The Sprite rib case gearbox with Quaife dog box internals has just been gone through, including a new input shaft and new Tilton clutch assembly. The eleven is also fitted with the new, stronger, Titan Engineering billet front spindles. New heavy duty rear half shaft assemblies have also just been installed. The Lotus will come with two large binders full of research, race records, correspondence, receipts, photos, concours descriptions, log books, etc. Is this the Sopwith, Archie Scott Brown, Graham Hill, Harry Schell, Reg Parnell, Mac Fraser Lotus XI, chassis #164? Of course we cannot say for sure at this point. Then again, we cannot say for sure that it is not. It certainly could be, and that is what Don Burrows concluded. Regardless, it seems by all accounts that we have seen thus far that this car was restored from a front end damaged original Lotus XI chassis by Lotus restoration experts Crosthwaite and Gardiner. It also received a new alloy body constructed by the original Lotus XI body builders, Williams & Pritchard. That’s not all bad, right? If you can confirm the car’s original history, that will be spectacular for you. If not, at a minimum you have a fabulous Lotus XI that you can run in fine historic races worldwide. 1956 Lotus 11 Series 1 Le Mans Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

It also received a new alloy body constructed by the original Lotus XI body builders, Williams & Pritchard. That’s not all bad, right? If you can confirm the car’s original history, that will be spectacular for you. If not, at a minimum you have a fabulous Lotus XI that you can run in fine historic races worldwide.

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

THE TUBOLARE ZAGATO Introduced at the 1962 Turin Salon, the Alfa Romeo Tubolare Zagato, or TZ, was built on a lightweight rigid tube frame that prompted the model’s name. Envisioned as a racing successor to the Giulietta Sprint Zagato, the TZ featured lightweight, aerodynamic aluminum coachwork by Zagato with covered headlamps and a fastback Kamm tail. Mechanically, the 105 Series running gear was upgraded with stiffer springs and a fully independent rear suspension, while a taller fifth gear, limited-slip differential, and inboard rear disc brakes contributed to superior performance. The Giulia engine was mounted at a 20-degree angle, requiring a specially-cast intake manifold and sump. Naturally aspirated with Weber carburetors, the motor developed 112 horsepower in street specification and 170 horsepower in racing tune, sufficient to rocket the car to an impressive top speed of 133 mph. Lorenzo Bandini piloted one of the earliest examples to a class win during the TZ’s racing debut at Monza in November 1963. A remarkable string of class victories followed during 1964 at events including the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Targa Florio, the Nürburgring 1000 KM, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Tour de France. With only 117 cars built through 1966, the TZ has become highly prized by collectors for its unique design, superlative build quality, competition pedigree, and impressive performance. It is, in the opinion of many enthusiasts, the ultimate expression of the classic post-war inline four-cylinder Alfa Romeo sports car. THE CANADIAN TZ This beautifully presented Tubolare Zagato benefits from 58 years of fastidious single-owner care. According to the combined data of Alfa Romeo’s Centro Documentazione, the Alfa Romeo Zagato Register, and corroborating documentation on file, chassis number 750097 completed assembly in late March 1965, finished in rosso paint over a nero interior. Two months later the Alfa Romeo was officially delivered to Nassau, Bahamas, although the car’s true destination proved to be slightly colder. The TZ was immediately brought to the Great White North by Canadian Motor Industries (CMI), an importer of Japanese marques (and for a short time Alfa Romeo) that later became Toyota Canada. CMI reportedly entered the car in no fewer than eight races during the 1965 season, including the Labatt 50 in July, where the car was driven by Canadian motorsports legend Al Pease. Pease was one of Canada’s winningest drivers of all time, racking up regional and national championships during a nearly 30-year career across numerous racing formats, eventually culminating in his induction to the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. While the TZ retired early at Harewood Acres six days later, results were more encouraging at the Player’s Mont-Tremblant in September, where Pease managed to finish 18th. The Giulia was then entered at the GP Mosport Production race nearly a week later, but did not arrive, and this appears to mark the conclusion of CMI’s campaign. Chassis number 750097 was next the subject of a road test that ran in the November 1965 issue of Canada Track & Traffic. The writer noted that the Alfa Romeo had proven to be very reliable through the course of the 1965 Canadian racing season, including appearances at the Sundown GP 6-hours at Mosport, and the 50-lap Pepsi Cola feature race at Mont-Tremblant. Canadian driver Craig Fisher, later known for his accomplishments in Trans-Am, drove the Tubolare Zagato to an impressive lap time at Mosport (one minute, 43.1 seconds), and reported that the TZ had “lots of road holding,” was “very stable,” and “comfortable to drive,” with “steering quick and positive” and “braking powerful.” In summary, Fisher had “high praise for the engine and gearbox.” During its racing forays, the Alfa Romeo was spotted at Harewood Acres by a married couple who were instantly smitten with the unusual sports car. By sheer serendipity, they had an opportunity to purchase the Giulia in 1966 from an intermediary party who had acquired it directly from CMI. The couple went on to retain the Tubolare Zagato (which they nicknamed “Tizzy”) for a remarkable period of 58 years, assuring a high level of care for the better part of six decades. As revealed by correspondence on file, the owner began reaching out to the Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club (AROC) for advice on properly tuning the car, and he soon sourced additional documentation, including a copy of the car’s dynamometer test sheet from Autodelta (Alfa Romeo’s de facto competition department), a copy of the FIA’s 1964 homologation papers for the TZ model, and a factory blueprint of the chassis. In February 1967 the Giulia was exhibited at the AROC meeting held at Knauz Continental Autosports in Lake Forest, Illinois, where the car was displayed on the showroom floor next to one of the ex-Sebring factory TZ examples. Upon return to the consignor’s home in Woodstock, Ontario, the Alfa Romeo began to undergo some work to the chassis, and the coachwork was repainted in candy-apple green. In 1969 the owners moved to nearby London, Ontario, after which the car was effectively stored for the remainder of their ownership. Eventually realizing the need for a thorough refurbishment, the consignors entrusted a full nut-and-bolt restoration to Sebert Motors in the late 1980s, which eventually included a complete rebuild of the engine, and a bare-metal refinish in the proper color of rosso. As financing was an issue, the restoration progressed in a slow but steady fashion through early 2024, when the TZ was submitted to RM Auto Restoration for completion of the remaining work. Essentially unused since 1969, this masterfully restored Tubolare Zagato is ideal for concours exhibition or event participation. The beautifully refinished aluminum coachwork is almost entirely original, and the car retains the same motor as when purchased by the consignor in 1966, suggesting that the factory-equipped competition-specified engine remains equipped (please note, factory records of this era did not record engine numbers, making unequivocal confirmation of the engine’s originality impossible). Marque collectors and enthusiasts of important post-war sports-racing cars are now invited to consider the availability of one of the rare surviving Giulia TZ examples, which is probably the only one to have actively raced in Canada in period. It is undoubtedly one of the most painstakingly restored and desirably authentic examples one might hope to find. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The beautifully refinished aluminum coachwork is almost entirely original, and the car retains the same motor as when purchased by the consignor in 1966, suggesting that the factory-equipped competition-specified engine remains equipped (please note, factory records of this era did not record engine numbers, making unequivocal confirmation of the engine’s originality impossible). Marque collectors and enthusiasts of important post-war sports-racing cars are now invited to consider the availability of one of the rare surviving Giulia TZ examples, which is probably the only one to have actively raced in Canada in period. It is undoubtedly one of the most painstakingly restored and desirably authentic examples one might hope to find.

Introduced in 1958, the 102 Series 2000 succeeded the celebrated 1900 in Alfa Romeo’s model lineup. The 2000 was available in three body styles, including the short-wheelbase Spider. The manufacturer’s highly developed 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine provided spritely performance, while Carrozzeria Touring of Milan designed the open coachwork. The Spider was adorned with details such as twin hood scoops, a split front bumper, and four non-functional chromed vents behind each front wheel. Production lasted through 1962. With fewer than 3,500 examples built, the endearing 2000 Spider remains one of the rarer post-war production Alfa Romeos, making it all the more desirable and collectible today. An accompanying Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate indicates that the chassis for the Spider offered here was completed on 9 September 1960. After receiving its shapely Touring bodywork, it was subsequently delivered to Hoffman Motor Car Company of New York on 22 August 1961. The Spider was originally finished in Rossa Alfa with a black interior and adorned with a white stripe across the cowl. Acquired by the current owner from a local collector in October 2016, the car soon became the subject of a seven-year rotisserie restoration that totaled nearly $240,000. Invoices and a selection of photos on file detail the immense amount of work performed, involving stripping the vehicle down to bare metal before reassembling it to the wonderful appearance seen today. Now finished in dark blue over a red interior, this Alfa Romeo is powered by its matching-numbers engine, further increasing the car’s desirability. Professionally refinished in a stunning color combination and documented with an Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate, as well as restoration invoices, this restored 2000 Spider represents a great opportunity for the Alfa Romeo enthusiast to own one of the marque’s least-common standard-production post-war convertibles. 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Even at first glance, it is striking: The shape of the Ferrari 348 designed by Pininfarina is similar to that of the Testarossa. With rear lights in a black grille cover and large air intakes on the doors to ventilate the engine, it has the characteristic Ferrari look. The gearbox is installed transversely, as indicated by the letter T (Trasversale) in the model designation. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 275 km/h make for tremendous driving pleasure! Only 4,228 of the Ferrari 348 were produced as a Targa. This Ferrari 348 was first delivered in Italy and is in third hand. The vehicle’s historic registration and a Classic Data certificate are available. With a total mileage of only 40,340 km, the vehicle is in a very well-kept condition. In addition to the installed Tubi Style exhaust system, the original exhaust system is also available. A unique opportunity to acquire a classic Ferrari with full history and outstanding driving performance at a moderate price.

This superb Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Coupe Series II is a very special and original car. It is the latest type of 508F chassis’ and the latest engine development of the Tipo 128F V12 engine. All numbers have been confirmed by Ferrari to be original and matching. The car is registered in Holland and has a most distinguished two-tone colour combination of ‘Grigio Platino’ (original colour) with an anthracite grey roof and a dark red leather interior. The car was ordered new by United States Air Force Captain John C. Malone in Februari 1960. Mr. J.C. Malone was stationed in Tokyo at the time. In March 1960, the car was shipped directly from Italy to Yokohama, making it the very first Ferrari imported into Japan! This arrival created quite a stir; Prancing Horse wrote that stories about the car were published in the Yokohama and Tokyo newspapers. When Mr. J.C. Malone moved back to the USA, the car was shipped to the USA. The Air Force Captain enjoyed driving it around Denver, Colorado. Around this time, the car was painted white and the original leather interior was changed to black. Mr. J.C. Malone would finally keep the car an impressive 40 years until he sold the car in 2000 at the age of 80. The car had only 43.000 miles and was described as a ‘time-capsule-car’. The car was then owned by Mr. J. Heumann from San Francisco, California and later he sold to car to Mr. M. Vittoz from Lyon, France. In 2009 the car was exported to The Netherlands and then sold by Lukas Huni to the current collector in late 2012. In the current collection – one of the most important Dutch Ferrari collections – it has been well maintained This lovely 250 GT is in very nice condition with nice older paintwork with few blemishes and excellent original panel fit. Chrome is excellent. The interior feels very fresh with a high quality retrim. The engine bay is well detailed and as expected very original. In October 2022, a major service was done at Dutch Ferrari Specialists. The invoice totals Euro 10.500,-. Afterwards the car was driven in the Zoute Rally in Belgium. The car runs very well and is a pleasure to drive. The engine pulls strong and the gear change is very smooth. After 13 years in the current collection the car is ready for a new enthusiastic owner and begs to be driven.. fast! 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Coupe Series II Very Superior Old Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Added to the BMW 8 Series line-up in 1992, the 850 CSi became the top-performance offering for the Munich marque's E31 generation. Powered by an enlarged version of the 850 Ci's V-12 that was bored out to 5.6 litres, the high-spec model featured lighter pistons, forged crankshaft and a freer-flowing exhaust. The resulting product produced 375 horsepower and was capable of reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in just 5.7 seconds. It also featured a revised suspension setup to harness the extra power, featuring a lower stance and stiffer springs and dampers. The steering was modified with a quicker ratio, and reassuringly, the brakes were uprated with floating ventilated discs. Even the wing mirrors were resculpted to improve aerodynamics, alongside reshaped front and rear bumpers. Naturally, it was only offered with a manual six-speed gearbox so as not to dilute the driving experience. Just 1,510 850 CSis were built, and great examples like this are highly sought after by collectors. Chassis 0299, this well-specified, extraordinarily preserved and highly serviced 850CSi (both of which are not common in 850s) offers an exciting opportunity for Roundel admirers to acquire an exceptional example of one most desirable BMW of the era. With relatively low miles of 130,380k km's approximately 81k miles this collector owned and well cared for 850CSi is available now for worldwide purchase and delivery. 1993 BMW 850CSi Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

At the 1966 Paris Motor Show, Maserati presented the Mexico (internally known as the Tipo 112), a four-seater luxury GT coupé with a notchback and an eight-cylinder V engine. The Mexico was based on a Bertone prototype from 1965, but the production version was given a body by Vignale based on a design by Michelotti. It sat on a tubular frame. The chassis was similar to that of other Maseratis of the time: independently suspended wheels at the front, a rigid axle with leaf springs at the rear and disc brakes on all wheels. Initially, the Mexico was powered exclusively by a 4.7-litre V8 engine with four Weber carburettors producing 290 hp. From 1969, the smaller 4.2-litre V8 from the first Maserati Quattroporte with 260 hp was available as an alternative. Our Maserati Mexico with a 4.2-litre V8, 5-speed gearbox, air conditioning and optional Ghibli central locking wheels was first registered in Holland on 19 September 1969. Evidently restored several years ago, the rare coupé – only 305 vehicles with the 4.2-litre engine were built – was probably imported to Switzerland in the early 2000s. In August 2018, the Mexico was taken over by the consignor and integrated into his small collection. He drove the Maserati only a little, but was concerned about keeping it well maintained – he recently had the entire brake system and suspension overhauled. Due to time constraints, he deregistered the car in September 2025 and now wishes to part with his sporty Gran Tourismo. The Maserati Mexico is in good to very good condition and is sure to bring a lot of joy to its new owner. The most recent veteran MOT has been completed in August 2018. 1969 Maserati Mexico 4200 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Superbly presented and simply remarkable. Fresh from a five-year professional restoration and the best we have ever seen. The Escort RS2000 was the last car to be introduced to Ford's 'Advanced Vehicle' range in June of 1973 and dovetailed nicely with its performance almost comparable to the more complex RS1600, but with the reliability and ease of maintenance of the Mexico. The car used the same Type 49 bodyshell as the Mexico and RS1600, however, there was a new engine in use at Ford, the 2-litre overhead cam, 100bhp, 'Pinto' design, which seemed, on paper, ideal for the RS. Ford then had the major problem of persuading the, less than slender, Pinto engine to fit into the engine bay, which was something it had never been designed to do. The only way of achieving this was by discarding the engine-driven cooling fan and replacing it with a thermostatically controlled Kenlowe unit. The most appropriate gearbox was the German 'E-box', which was totally different to the one fitted to the RS1600, and the final drive was 3.54:1. The car was launched in England on 11/11/1973 priced at £1,586. The RS2000 once again proved to be a quick and delightful car to drive, whilst being more accessible to buy and still offering customers a great choice in terms of colours and options. 1974 Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
