Offered on behalf of a lifetime Ferrari aficionado. Interesting Ferrari collection with successive mid-engined V8 Spiders from 1979 until 2006, beautifully finished in Grigio and Argento. For the first time in the history of VSOC, we offer an entire collection on behalf of one owner. This collection is special because all the cars fit well into the same theme: V8 Ferrari and low mileage. All but one are with manual gearboxes, European versions and all are in lovely condition and properly serviced. Do call us and ask for Rogier or Alex. We are happy to inform you! Open sports cars are an integral part of Ferrari tradition: the first Ferrari ever to be built was an open sports car. In the 1960’s, Ferrari revealed its first mid-engine sports car. This inspired a series of iconic mid-engined road cars. A company famous for its beautiful and successful front-engined sports cars, soon became synonymous with its equally eye-catching and successful mid-engined sports cars. Ferrari’s first road-going mid-engined production sports car was the Dino 206 GT. Even more significant was the 308 GTB launched in 1975. It began an uninterrupted bloodline of V8-powered mid-engined sports cars that continues today.

Much has been written about the Ferrari 250 lineage and how, as the Maranello marque’s first real foray into proper series-production, it represented something of a concession to reality on the part of Enzo Ferrari—who realized that healthy road car sales would be required to fund his racing dreams. This is, naturally, only part of the story. It is true that the Pininfarina-bodied 250 GT Coupe and Cabriolet were more standardized, more practical, and built in higher numbers than the Ferraris that came before. But they were also, simply, wonderful automobiles, eagerly sought-after by those who had the means when new and treasured by tifosi today. The 250 GT Cabriolet in particular had all the makings of an instant classic: The perfect proportions and clean, taught lines of Pininfarina’s bodywork would never go out of style; a tractable chassis and a well-trimmed cabin provided comfort for driver and passenger; and the V-12 up front served up a glorious soundtrack on journeys both short and long. Pininfarina’s first-series 250 GT Cabriolet arrived in 1957, but it was built in relatively limited quantities. A second-series cabriolet debuted at the 1959 Paris Motor Show and showcased a number of stylistic and mechanical updates over its predecessor. Visually, these cars featured open headlamps with a slightly more rounded nose and rear fenders with elongated tail-lamp lenses. Slightly more interior space was added to provide both the driver and passenger with more comfort, and the trunk was made somewhat larger as well. With the Series II, Ferrari also took the opportunity to improve the overall driving experience. In addition to all-wheel disc brakes, Ferrari installed its latest iteration of the Colombo V-12 engine, designated type 128F. The spark plugs were relocated to the V-12’s outside surfaces (rather than in between the V as in prior iterations), and the coil valve springs were substituted for hairpins. This new architecture allowed for more head studs per cylinder and non-siamesed porting. This resulted in a better breathing engine with improved torque and reliability. To boot, the 128F also facilitated far easier and quicker changing of the plugs, to the enduring relief of both mechanics and owners alike. By the end of production in mid-1962, 200 examples of the 250 GT Cabriolet Series II had been constructed, far outselling the first series of 250 GT cabriolets—yet this relatively small production number meant these Ferraris remained the purview of the elite, seen only in the world’s most exclusive enclaves. THE GOLD STANDARD The 157th of 200 Series II cabriolets produced, according to a report by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, chassis number 3091 GT was completed on 3 January 1962. Destined for the United States market, it sported instrumentation in miles. The Ferrari was finished in Oro Longchamps (Longchamps Gold) over a Naturale Connolly leather and vinyl interior, a very subtle yet attractive combination rarely seen today. Only four 250 GT Cabriolet Series II examples were originally finished in this livery. It is also equipped with a factory hardtop, further enhancing its rarity. Chassis 3091 GT was delivered to its first owner, a Mr. Chalik, via the famous Luigi Chinetti Motors of New York City in 1962. Its subsequent history is unknown until early 1985, when it was offered for sale in a Los Angeles Times classified; in addition to a move to the West Coast, the Ferrari had been repainted red, and its interior retrimmed in cream (its dashboard, however, was apparently left in the original Oro). A second classified that year indicated that it was owned by a resident of Anaheim, California, and recorded its mileage as 38,000. In 1992, the car was reportedly cosmetically restored by Chris DeBruine of The Works Auto Body in Santa Clara, California, in red over a new tan leather interior with a black soft top. New Borrani wire wheels were fitted as a part of this refurbishment. Shown at the 5th annual Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance in Edgemont, Pennsylvania in 2001, it was offered for sale the following year by noted Pennsylvania-based collector and dealer, Eddie Karam, and eventually found a home in Englewood, New Jersey. In 2016, this owner would begin a total restoration of the cabriolet back to its original livery. Danny Bell of Great Barrington, Massachusetts was enlisted to fully strip and refinish the Pininfarina bodywork in its factory-correct Oro Longchamps, while Johann Merhoffer retrimmed the interior. Work was completed in 2019, and in 2020, Paul Russell and Company was tasked with rebuilding the engine, gearbox, and overdrive, as well as performing work on the brake system and suspension and resealing the steering box. The Ferrari was acquired by the present consignor in 2022. He soon sought to bring the car to an even higher standard, and submitted it to Prancing Horse of Nashville, Tennessee for over $61,000 in service, tuning, and adjustment work, including the replacement of gaskets to correct fluid leaks; service to the car’s electrical system; adjustment of the convertible top and window seals; and various cosmetic improvements to burnish its previous complete restoration. It is now offered with tools and jack, as well as the sought-after factory hardtop—a feature that, when equipped, provides the open-top tourer with a distinctly different visual feel and driving character. In his care, it was submitted for Ferrari Classiche certification. As the accompanying Red Book issued in December 2024 confirms, it retains its numbers-matching engine, gearbox, and rear axle. Considered among the most elegant of Ferrari’s open-top tourers, the 250 GT Cabriolet Series II is equally enjoyable on long coastal roads as it is winding through hillside switchbacks. Chassis 3091 GT, wearing its rare and factory-correct Oro Longchamps over Naturale, accompanied by a factory hardtop and toolkit, and certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2024, now offers a new owner the opportunity to experience a landmark Prancing Horse.

Believed to be the experimental Zora Arkus-Duntov 1955 test mule Under California ownership with the same family since 1968 General Motors documentation, build records, and decades of maintenance records History of the Corvette The 1950s was a prosperous time for Americans, industry, and innovation, particularly in automobile design and manufacturing. With each year, exciting models arrived, and companies expanded on themes of luxury and performance. In 1953, when General Motors launched the Corvette, there was nothing quite like it. Conceived and built by sports car enthusiasts, the Corvette arrived with great fanfare but initially met with lackluster sales. In 1955 big improvements offered new hope including the landmark V8 engine, an option that nearly doubled the horsepower of the original Blue Flame Six. The road to V8 power for this pioneering sports car, however, was not easy. Internally, the Corvette had both corporate champions and naysayers. Yet passionate enthusiasts knew the future of the Corvette had to include the V8 engine and eagerly forged forward, setting out to prove that a properly equipped Corvette could be a premium performance car. This is the story of the earliest attempts at building the Corvette V8 legacy, the GM designated EX87 (Experimental) coded Corvette history, and the remarkable 57 years of current family ownership, preservation, care, and historic research that chronicles this rare and important Corvette. The Birth of Corvette EX87 Though novel and exciting, the public didn’t take quickly to the Corvette. Even as the 1955 models offered the optional V8 engine, customers wanted to see what the Corvette was capable of. Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov presented Chief Engineer Ed Cole with the idea of preparing a special car that could surpass the top speed record of 150 mph, held by a Chrysler 300. Cole agreed, but with time of the essence, Chevrolet engineer Mauri Rose (three-time Indy 500 winner) was called upon. Rose had installed a prototype V8 in a 1954 Corvette and begun performance evaluations as an experimental car, designated by GM as EX87. With the car already complete and time of the essence, Duntov set about preparing the drivetrain for the high-speed run at Daytona Beach. The 1954 body featured a head fairing, passenger side tonneau cover, and a low-cut windscreen. In November 1955, EX87 was moved to Chevrolet engineering and assigned the tracking number 5951. Running a 307 cid engine with a special Duntov camshaft and fitted with a specially designed belly pan for high-speed stability, Duntov himself piloted EX87/5951 (associated and recorded with both numbers in GM documentation) achieving just over 163 mph on the test run at the Arizona GM Proving Grounds. With confidence achieving well over the 150-mph mark, EX87 returned to the GM Tech Center where the engine was removed, disassembled, and checked in preparation for the Daytona run. Eager to market the pending speed record with the latest body design, the Duntov 307 V8 engine was installed in a 1955 production car, fitted with a prototype 1956 body and assigned the tracking number 6901. While this was taking place, the body from EX87/5951 was removed and replaced with the donor 1955 production body from the former production car established as 6901. Ex87, having proven the 163 mph run had served a critical purpose for Duntov and GM. With the 307 engine removed and installed in the next car, EX87 was fitted with a 1955 V8 engine, 3-speed transmission, and 1955 body. The car was also assigned the serial number plate EX87. Concurrent with the 1955 transition to EX87, the special body formerly fitted to the original EX87 chassis including the belly pan, head fairing, and lowered windscreen, were installed on a 1955 chassis and prepped as well for a run at Daytona. In support of this lineage, numerous internal General Motors engineering build orders document the disposition of EX87, the subject development of the Daytona cars, the transfer of the body, engine, and other details to complete these cars, and the eventual disposition of EX87/5951. This unique car would continue as a GM development mule in the 1955 iteration to study axle hop at the GM Proving Grounds with special instructions called out on the build order “Car is to be used as a Special Demonstrator and is to be kept as clean as possible”. With the original EX87 chassis fitted with a 1955 Corvette body, the car served as an internal test mule and courtesy car before it was transferred to a GM staff engineer. A letter on file indicates Russell F. Sanders (Chevrolet letter June 6, 1956) as the purchaser on title from GM, though it is unclear if this document is for EX122 or EX87. Though it’s not known if it was Sanders who purchased EX87 or possibly both cars, by 1968 this car made its way to Los Gatos, California when the eventual husband of the current owner purchased this car. Written statements from the owner indicate that the car was purchased from “the ex-wife of a GM engineer”. Under the assumption that he had purchased a standard production V8 powered 1955 Corvette, the husband was not aware of any information regarding the previous history of Duntov and his V8 quest for speed. As anyone else might do with a vintage Corvette, he simply prepared the car for enjoyable use. In 1969/70 the engine failed, and the owner installed a short block 327 V8u as a performance upgrade but kept much of the engine components from the former engine and repainted the car in Venetian Red. The owner enjoyed taking the car to various Corvette events throughout the 1970s. But with each event and judges’ scrutiny, questions emerged that began to lead to a startling conclusion – the 1955 Corvette bearing the serial number EX87 was very likely the original basis of the Chevrolet Duntov V8 mule. Key features noted by both judges and Corvette experts include the handcrafted notch in the frame to clear the V8 fuel pump, the patched clutch hole in the firewall, the 1954 specification gas pedal, and two holes drilled into the original bumper as provision for a custom trailer hitch which was used for speed calibration on experimental cars during test runs. In 1976 the owner showed the car at the NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society) event in Berkeley, CA (judging sheet included with this car) and caught the attention of Noland Adams, historian and eventual author of “The Complete Corvette Restoration and Technical Guide”. Adams was stunned by what he was seeing. Adams began collecting information as more evidence mounted that this car could be the original Duntov V8 powered car that broke the 150 mph speed record at the Arizona proving grounds during a test run with Duntov at the wheel. Eventually working with John Amgwert, the first NCRS President, Adams continued his efforts with extensive research into the GM archives in 1997, this time with the help of both husband and wife owners, and again in 2007 with expert Corvette enthusiast Loren Lundberg who concluded that the car indeed had a 3-speed transmission at one time, the chassis had been altered for a V8, the brake pedal was matched for clutch location spacing, and firewall patches were in place where the clutch hole had been. Enthusiasts to the core, over the past 57 years, the current owners have spent more than half their lives researching and fastidiously maintaining EX87 being careful to preserve the original chassis, the original tell-tale modifications for the V8 engine, and gathering GM documentation with expert opinions outlining the history of EX87 and the important contribution made to the legacy of the Corvette brand. Current Condition and Features Today with 20,594 miles indicated on the odometer and just under 400,000 revs recorded on the tachometer, this Corvette displays excellent cosmetic and mechanical features reflective of the original equipment and professional repaint performed on the car in the 1970s. The car presents as a handsome combination of preservation and selective restoration. The paint is glossy and smooth though showing signs of age consistent with the 40+ years since it was painted. The body panels exhibit fit consistent with GM factory molded fiberglass for the doors, hood, and trunk shut lines. The hinged convertible top cover, often difficult to adjust, fits quite well. The chrome trim, badges, and various exterior elements are in very good to excellent condition, showing a fine luster with very good chrome quality. The wheels are nicely trimmed with correct original type wheel covers over Venetian Red steel wheels. The car wears a set of vintage BF Goodrich Silvertown 6.70-15 4 Ply wide whitewall tires. The glass, lights, and lenses are all in excellent condition including the complex curved windshield, which, at the time of production, was one of the most advanced pieces of automotive glass ever produced. Two of the key features reflective of EX87 history include the mounting holes on the rear bumper and the Chevrolet EX87 VIN plate located on the inside driver’s door opening. The interior continues to impress with finishes that have been faithfully restored to original specifications using correct materials. Even though the interior refurbishment was performed many years ago, the materials and finishes remain in excellent condition showing little to no wear. The seat and door inserts are correct and properly fit to the seat frames and doors. The seat foam is resilient, and the carpeting remains in very nice condition throughout the interior. The instruments are colorful and highly detailed with just a little bit of mellowing appearing on what could very well be the original center binnacle chrome and instrumentation. The canvas top is in excellent condition both inside and out, wrapped tightly over refinished top bows. Under the hood, the 327 engine features accurate details appropriately dressed to reflect the 1955 configuration. While some of the fasteners and various hardware deviate slightly from typical factory specifications, the overall presentation is very authentic and properly finished. A pair of softened metal finned valve covers, a correct windshield washer bag, correct hose clamps, an original generator, chrome plated air cleaner, polished distributor and wiring shroud complete the handsome engine bay. Underneath the car, the suspension, driveline components, exhaust, solid rear axle and limiting straps all appear correct, displaying what appears to be the original chassis floor pan and correct replacements for various generally consumable parts such as hoses, mufflers, and various hardware. As one might expect from a car with known ownership and enthusiast preservation for nearly 60 years, there is no evidence of structural compromise to the frame, underbody components, or suspension attachment points. This car starts easily and settles into a smooth idle, burbling with just a hint of more power offered by the upgraded 327 engine. Though not frequently driven in recent years, the car has an authentic and capable feel as it has always been maintained with annual fluid changes and inspections. The transmission shifts smoothly and engages the V8 engine with authority. At cruising speeds, the car is steady and evenly tracking with surprisingly good ride comfort and pleasing cornering when pressed into service. This Corvette is accompanied by invoices documenting current ownership including recent service invoices for general maintenance, a car cover, a set of matching floor mats, miscellaneous spare cosmetic and mechanical parts, a tow hitch which attaches to the rear bumper, side windows, tire changing tools, various headlight trim pieces, two Corvette books, a display placard, and a file of documents including copies of GM engineering build orders from the 1950s outlining the development of EX87, the disposition of EX87 and involvement with Duntov, the internal use of EX87/5951, and subsequent transformation to the 1955 Corvette model, and additional historic reference information on the other test mules built in 1955 and 1956 concurrent with EX87. With a remarkably important history and documented long term California ownership, this Corvette presents as a rare opportunity to own what could very well be the missing link in the earliest lineage of Corvette V8 history. Presented with documentation supporting 57 years of ownership and historic General Motors engineering records, this historically important Corvette is ready to participate in future Corvette events as a surviving ambassador to the legacy of the Corvette mystique. Please Note: "This description is a summary of the current information available on EX87/5951 at this time.

With each year, exciting models arrived, and companies expanded on themes of luxury and performance. In 1953, when General Motors launched the Corvette, there was nothing quite like it. Conceived and built by sports car enthusiasts, the Corvette arrived with great fanfare but initially met with lackluster sales. In 1955 big improvements offered new hope including the landmark V8 engine, an option that nearly doubled the horsepower of the original Blue Flame Six. The road to V8 power for this pioneering sports car, however, was not easy. Internally, the Corvette had both corporate champions and naysayers. Yet passionate enthusiasts knew the future of the Corvette had to include the V8 engine and eagerly forged forward, setting out to prove that a properly equipped Corvette could be a premium performance car. This is the story of the earliest attempts at building the Corvette V8 legacy, the GM designated EX87 (Experimental) coded Corvette history, and the remarkable 57 years of current family ownership, preservation, care, and historic research that chronicles this rare and important Corvette. The Birth of Corvette EX87 Though novel and exciting, the public didn’t take quickly to the Corvette. Even as the 1955 models offered the optional V8 engine, customers wanted to see what the Corvette was capable of. Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov presented Chief Engineer Ed Cole with the idea of preparing a special car that could surpass the top speed record of 150 mph, held by a Chrysler 300. Cole agreed, but with time of the essence, Chevrolet engineer Mauri Rose (three-time Indy 500 winner) was called upon. Rose had installed a prototype V8 in a 1954 Corvette and begun performance evaluations as an experimental car, designated by GM as EX87. With the car already complete and time of the essence, Duntov set about preparing the drivetrain for the high-speed run at Daytona Beach. The 1954 body featured a head fairing, passenger side tonneau cover, and a low-cut windscreen. In November 1955, EX87 was moved to Chevrolet engineering and assigned the tracking number 5951. Running a 307 cid engine with a special Duntov camshaft and fitted with a specially designed belly pan for high-speed stability, Duntov himself piloted EX87/5951 (associated and recorded with both numbers in GM documentation) achieving just over 163 mph on the test run at the Arizona GM Proving Grounds. With confidence achieving well over the 150-mph mark, EX87 returned to the GM Tech Center where the engine was removed, disassembled, and checked in preparation for the Daytona run. Eager to market the pending speed record with the latest body design, the Duntov 307 V8 engine was installed in a 1955 production car, fitted with a prototype 1956 body and assigned the tracking number 6901. While this was taking place, the body from EX87/5951 was removed and replaced with the donor 1955 production body from the former production car established as 6901. Ex87, having proven the 163 mph run had served a critical purpose for Duntov and GM. With the 307 engine removed and installed in the next car, EX87 was fitted with a 1955 V8 engine, 3-speed transmission, and 1955 body. The car was also assigned the serial number plate EX87. Concurrent with the 1955 transition to EX87, the special body formerly fitted to the original EX87 chassis including the belly pan, head fairing, and lowered windscreen, were installed on a 1955 chassis and prepped as well for a run at Daytona. In support of this lineage, numerous internal General Motors engineering build orders document the disposition of EX87, the subject development of the Daytona cars, the transfer of the body, engine, and other details to complete these cars, and the eventual disposition of EX87/5951. This unique car would continue as a GM development mule in the 1955 iteration to study axle hop at the GM Proving Grounds with special instructions called out on the build order “Car is to be used as a Special Demonstrator and is to be kept as clean as possible”. With the original EX87 chassis fitted with a 1955 Corvette body, the car served as an internal test mule and courtesy car before it was transferred to a GM staff engineer. A letter on file indicates Russell F. Sanders (Chevrolet letter June 6, 1956) as the purchaser on title from GM, though it is unclear if this document is for EX122 or EX87. Though it’s not known if it was Sanders who purchased EX87 or possibly both cars, by 1968 this car made its way to Los Gatos, California when the eventual husband of the current owner purchased this car. Written statements from the owner indicate that the car was purchased from “the ex-wife of a GM engineer”. Under the assumption that he had purchased a standard production V8 powered 1955 Corvette, the husband was not aware of any information regarding the previous history of Duntov and his V8 quest for speed. As anyone else might do with a vintage Corvette, he simply prepared the car for enjoyable use. In 1969/70 the engine failed, and the owner installed a short block 327 V8u as a performance upgrade but kept much of the engine components from the former engine and repainted the car in Venetian Red. The owner enjoyed taking the car to various Corvette events throughout the 1970s. But with each event and judges’ scrutiny, questions emerged that began to lead to a startling conclusion – the 1955 Corvette bearing the serial number EX87 was very likely the original basis of the Chevrolet Duntov V8 mule. Key features noted by both judges and Corvette experts include the handcrafted notch in the frame to clear the V8 fuel pump, the patched clutch hole in the firewall, the 1954 specification gas pedal, and two holes drilled into the original bumper as provision for a custom trailer hitch which was used for speed calibration on experimental cars during test runs. In 1976 the owner showed the car at the NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society) event in Berkeley, CA (judging sheet included with this car) and caught the attention of Noland Adams, historian and eventual author of “The Complete Corvette Restoration and Technical Guide”. Adams was stunned by what he was seeing. Adams began collecting information as more evidence mounted that this car could be the original Duntov V8 powered car that broke the 150 mph speed record at the Arizona proving grounds during a test run with Duntov at the wheel. Eventually working with John Amgwert, the first NCRS President, Adams continued his efforts with extensive research into the GM archives in 1997, this time with the help of both husband and wife owners, and again in 2007 with expert Corvette enthusiast Loren Lundberg who concluded that the car indeed had a 3-speed transmission at one time, the chassis had been altered for a V8, the brake pedal was matched for clutch location spacing, and firewall patches were in place where the clutch hole had been.

The original brand-etched side glass, windshield, lighting, emblems, lenses, are all in excellent condition. The uniquely ventilated M1 wheels wear their original finish recently fitted with a new set of Continental Extreme Sport tires. Other exceptional features include satin black rear hatch side vents, rear window louvers, and satin black rocker panels, some of which display oxidation as might be expected from original finishes. Every aspect of the car reflects the exceptional care and preservation afforded by the long-term owner over the past 41 years. The interior is in excellent condition, surprisingly so as all features appear original throughout the car. The black leather seats, dashboard, factory grey carpets, and various trim show only very minor evidence of age, all of which should be considered typical of modest use as seen in preservation-based vehicles. The door panels and center console also retain excellent finishes. To BMW enthusiasts of this ear, much of the interior will appear comfortably familiar including the gear shift, door handles, and instrument layout. The interior delivers a high-quality feel and simple practicality that defined sports car design prior to digital technology. These tactile and engaging features are all the more enjoyable given how well this example has been preserved. The trunk carpet is in excellent condition including the spare tire and spare tire cover, and the rear engine lid struts hold position when the lid is opened to view the impressive M-series engine. The engine compartment is remarkably nice. The carefully preserved mechanical details reveal further support of continued long-term preservation and sensitive refurbishment this car has enjoyed under original and current ownership. The factory original engine is clean, with correctly finished factory components, correct black paint on the valve cover, correct airbox, and BMW supplied replacement parts for recently replaced coolant hoses, fuel hoses, new water pump, fuel pump, and other features to support smooth engine operation. The impressive equal length headers lightly hued from use, indicative of the engine’s legendary competition heritage. The front storage compartment further supports the exceptional care and preservation, with excellent mechanical components, factory finishes, and preserved original features. The underside of the car exhibits further evidence supporting the mileage and indoor storage including correct alloy suspension components, correct engine features, and a factory correct exhaust. There is no visual evidence of structural compromise to the floor pan or suspension mounting points. The M1, while beautiful and well regarded by enthusiasts, is even more of a pleasure to drive. The impressive power is very manageable even under general use. Considering the M1 was built at a time when supercars were forgiven their often-unpredictable needs in exchange for their powerful presence, the balance achieved in the M1 allows enthusiasts the pleasure of driving their cars. This M1 starts easily, idles smoothly, and pulls cleanly through the rev range. Power builds in a linear fashion as the in-line six encourages drivers to explore the power band. The gearbox is excellent, with well-defined shift gates, great actuation, and very good synchromesh. The dogleg shift pattern allows for second gear downshifts and easy upshifts to freeway speeds. The steering is precise and manageable, the chassis is composed and long-range driving proves to be comfortable even for taller drivers. Please note that the odometer is currently not functional when the car is driven. It is not known when the odometer stopped working but the owner suggests that only minimal additional miles may have accumulated since the tumblers stopped rotating. This is a rare opportunity for a sports car enthusiast to acquire a beautifully preserved example of one of the finest performance cars of the 1980s. Offering technical sophistication, rarity, and uniquely inspired Italian design, every legendary BMW Motorsport offering owes their history to this seminal M-series supercar.

The impressive equal length headers lightly hued from use, indicative of the engine’s legendary competition heritage. The front storage compartment further supports the exceptional care and preservation, with excellent mechanical components, factory finishes, and preserved original features. The underside of the car exhibits further evidence supporting the mileage and indoor storage including correct alloy suspension components, correct engine features, and a factory correct exhaust. There is no visual evidence of structural compromise to the floor pan or suspension mounting points. The M1, while beautiful and well regarded by enthusiasts, is even more of a pleasure to drive. The impressive power is very manageable even under general use. Considering the M1 was built at a time when supercars were forgiven their often-unpredictable needs in exchange for their powerful presence, the balance achieved in the M1 allows enthusiasts the pleasure of driving their cars. This M1 starts easily, idles smoothly, and pulls cleanly through the rev range. Power builds in a linear fashion as the in-line six encourages drivers to explore the power band. The gearbox is excellent, with well-defined shift gates, great actuation, and very good synchromesh. The dogleg shift pattern allows for second gear downshifts and easy upshifts to freeway speeds. The steering is precise and manageable, the chassis is composed and long-range driving proves to be comfortable even for taller drivers. Please note that the odometer is currently not functional when the car is driven. It is not known when the odometer stopped working but the owner suggests that only minimal additional miles may have accumulated since the tumblers stopped rotating. This is a rare opportunity for a sports car enthusiast to acquire a beautifully preserved example of one of the finest performance cars of the 1980s. Offering technical sophistication, rarity, and uniquely inspired Italian design, every legendary BMW Motorsport offering owes their history to this seminal M-series supercar. With documented history, originality, and one of just 399 built for road use, this preservation grade M1 will continue to serve as an iconic reminder of the visceral analog driving experience perfectly captured by BMW. Included with this M1 This M1 is accompanied by a set of floor mats. Factory first aid kit, BMW safety triangle in factory case, a spare 18” wiper blade, copies of various period articles collected by the current long-term owner, and various small misc. parts.

The 1950s had proved very successful for Maserati in both sports car and Grand Prix racing and in 1957 the Italian sports car manufacturer announced an exciting new road car called the 3500GT. The rakish new car was styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan and featured their new hallmark 'Superleggera' body construction which consisted of lightweight aluminium body panels supported underneath by thin steel tubing that followed the general shape of the car. The engine was a road-going version of the competition 300/350S motor, a double overhead-camshaft straight-six unit with two spark plugs per cylinder, fuelled by a set of triple side-draft Weber carburettors with Lucas fuel-injection as an option later in the model's production. Presented at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, the 3500GT was an instant hit and it wasn't long before Maserati realised there could be a great demand for an open top version. Carrozerria Frua had built a Spyder prototype on an early 3500GT chassis in 1957 and Carrozzeria Touring constructed two open-top versions, however it was Vignale who were sanctioned to produce the car for Maserati in 1959. Interestingly the Spyder didn't feature Touring's 'Superleggera' construction but was built with a steel body with an aluminium bonnet and boot lid. The wheelbase was shortened and front disc brakes and a limited-slip differential were options in 1959 and became standard equipment from 1960 onward with rear brake discs introduced as standard equipment in 1962. In all, 243 Vignale Spyders were built between 1959 and 1964 of which a mere eight cars were right-hand drive. This car was the second to last right-hand drive car built and one of the five that were imported to the UK when new. It was completed in August 1963 and benefits from all the later developments, as well as the optional Borrani wire wheels. In 1986 it was acquired by respected UK collector, the late Tom Walduck, and formed part of his extensive Collection, maintained but little used. In 2003, the current owner acquired the car from Walduck and immediately handed it over to McGrath Maserati for recommissioning. The brief to McGrath was to make the car safe, reliable and ready to use and after assessment, it was deemed necessary to replace the wiring loom, re-instate the Lucas fuel-injection and the suspension and brakes were gone through with whatever was required being carried out. After a general service, the car was returned by McGrath to their customer as being, ready for use, which it certainly was as our vendor enjoyed it, albeit occasionally, for the next ten years during which time it was maintained throughout ‘on the button’ by McGrath. In 2016, the decision was made to restore the car properly. The body and paintwork were entrusted to Prestige Restorations in Surrey and the mechanical and trim work was undertaken by McGrath. The original exterior colour was Amaranto Roma however, during the restoration, it was decided to refinish the car in the origanal Maserati hue of Blue Scuro, a rich dark blue that really suits the Spyder’s elegant lines. The original interior was listed as ‘neutral’ and it was completely retrimmed in a very similar colour and a new hood fitted. At the same time, the engine, gearbox and suspension were rebuilt and numerous detail improvements were made. Whilst the engine is the correct type for this vehicle, it is not the matching numbers original. The work totalled approximately £175,000 and since then, the car has not been used at all, although it has just been recommissioned once again by McGrath.

Italian Flair, American MuscleThere are cars that make your chest hair grow faster and make you want to sport a mustache the moment you see them. The De Tomaso Pantera GTS is one of those. For those who think life is a quiet, subtle affair, we’ve got bad news: this car is a rolling masterpiece of chaos and charm. Passion, power, and Italian flair – it all comes together fantastically. Born in Modena, with a pounding heart from Detroit, the Pantera GTS combines a fiery Italian soul with a roaring 5.8-liter Ford V8. This isn’t the ‘best of both worlds,’ but a marriage of two madmen with a box of matches who start a barbecue together – and end up with the best steak you’ve ever tasted. It’s not an average supercar, but a car that dictates the rules, not follows them. Its performance even makes the latest models seem pale, while its looks are so sharp you could cut an avocado with them. Our Pantera GTS, delivered in 1981, is an icon that has been lovingly cared for. It’s a rare German first delivery – which is special, as most Panteras went to the US to spread chaos. This particular example has always been in good hands, with only four owners in over 40 years. For the past 8 years, it’s found a home in a private collection of top-tier exotic sports cars, where it has been meticulously maintained. From engine to paint, everything is in top condition.Do you dare to tame it?

This is the Alfa Romeo SZ – a brutal mix of design, performance and history. Also known as Il Mostro, this car is a symbol of Alfa Romeo’s uncompromising vision of the late 1980s. Think cassette tapes, fluorescent sports jackets and the glory days of analogue passion. What makes this car unique? Everything. The SZ has a design you wouldn’t expect to see on a production car. Its sharp lines and angular shapes look more like a prototype than something you’d put on a license plate. Yet this futuristic creature was built in Italy, with a body made of advanced thermoplastic composites – revolutionary at the time – mounted on the chassis of the Alfa 75 Group A racer. Under the bonnet is the heart of the legendary 3.0-litre Busso V6 engine. The sound? A mechanical aria that gives any car enthusiast goosebumps. Thanks to the five-speed manual gearbox, every drive feels like a hot lap of Monza. This specific example of the Alfa Romeo SZ, with production number 771, was originally delivered new in Japan. In 2012, the car ended up in the United Kingdom, where it came into the hands of a Dutch owner. When he later moved back to the Netherlands, the SZ naturally came with him. Since 2023, the car has officially been registered on Dutch license plates. Since its time in the United Kingdom, the SZ has been in the hands of a dedicated Alfa Romeo specialist. She has been well maintained over the years and has remained in excellent technical condition. Yes, she carries a few charming Italian wrinkles here and there, but that is part of the character. As icing on the cake, this SZ comes with a birth certificate, confirming her origins and originality in black and white. Are you as obsessed with Alfa as we are? We would love to get in touch with you as an Alfa enthusiast! 1994 Alfa Romeo SZ 3.0 V6 Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Thanks to the five-speed manual gearbox, every drive feels like a hot lap of Monza. This specific example of the Alfa Romeo SZ, with production number 771, was originally delivered new in Japan. In 2012, the car ended up in the United Kingdom, where it came into the hands of a Dutch owner. When he later moved back to the Netherlands, the SZ naturally came with him. Since 2023, the car has officially been registered on Dutch license plates. Since its time in the United Kingdom, the SZ has been in the hands of a dedicated Alfa Romeo specialist. She has been well maintained over the years and has remained in excellent technical condition. Yes, she carries a few charming Italian wrinkles here and there, but that is part of the character. As icing on the cake, this SZ comes with a birth certificate, confirming her origins and originality in black and white. Are you as obsessed with Alfa as we are? We would love to get in touch with you as an Alfa enthusiast!

This M1 Procar is one of the Osella built cars, finished by BMW on May 9th, 1979. This particular car was purchased by Vasek Polak to be campaigned the following year. They took the car to the Riverside raceway for some break-in laps then back to their shop. Shortly thereafter, the FIA rules changed, and the car was no longer eligible to race. The car was put in storage until the prior owner purchased it in 1989. The car has been continuously maintained and kept in pristine mechanical and cosmetic condition. It’s believed to be the only "new" M1 pro car in existence. In 2021 this car was acquired by the current owner. A recent service was completed by The Werkshop in March of 2022, with limited mileage added since then. The car has been used sparingly at private track days since its acquisition. This BMW M1 Procar offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of motorsport history. With its rich racing heritage and meticulous maintenance, this M1 Procar is ideally suited for both historic racing events and discerning collectors. Priced to reflect its provenance and condition, inspection is welcome by appointment. 1980 BMW M1 Procar Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Popularized by James Bond “Goldfinger” Limited production of only 193 left-hand drive examples Concours-quality restoration completed in 2023 Electronic ignition and steering assist system Rare Numbers Matching Example – Heritage Certificate Factory build documentation and restoration invoices dating back to 2002 Owner’s manual, tools, spare wheel/tire, hammer, jack The 1965 Aston Martin DB5 is not just a car; it's a symbol of automotive excellence, luxury, and timeless elegance. Its significance transcends mere transportation, representing the pinnacle of British engineering and craftsmanship. With its sleek and aerodynamic design, handcrafted interior, and powerful performance, the DB5 captured the hearts of enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike from the moment it rolled off the production line. What truly propelled the DB5 into the realm of legend, however, was its association with the iconic British spy James Bond. Featured prominently in the 1964 film "Goldfinger," the DB5 became Bond's vehicle of choice, outfitted with an array of fictional gadgets, including machine guns, an oil slick dispenser, and an ejector seat. This cinematic exposure catapulted the DB5 to international fame, solidifying its status as the quintessential Bond car and cementing its place in popular culture. As per the factory build sheet on record, chassis number 1990/L came equipped with a Motorola radio featuring a power antenna, a heated rear windscreen, dual Britax three-point safety belts, a Fiamm horn, a fender-mounted sideview mirror, and chrome wheels adorned with Avon Turbospeed GT tires. This distinguished DB5 found its first owner in Oscar Strauss II of New York City. Oscar was a member of the Guggenheim family, who a majority served on several corporate boards and family foundations. In the 1990s, the ownership of the Aston Martin transitioned to Kurt DelBene, a Microsoft executive who later assumed the role of the current Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs for Information and Technology within the US government. Recognized for his passion for rare sports and racing cars, Mr. DelBene enlisted the expertise of British car specialist Sean Johnson to undertake a cosmetic restoration on the vehicle. After being sold to marque specialist Rocky Santiago, 1990/L found its way to a New York-based dealer, who maintained intermittent care of the vehicle over the subsequent two decades. In March 2003, the DB5 was acquired by Connecticut-based collector Stefano Bruni, who showcased the car at esteemed events such as the 2003 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance and the 2003 AMOC North America Concours at Lime Rock, Connecticut, where it garnered a class award. Following its tenure with at least three additional owners, including a stint under the ownership of a Dubai-based shipping magnate, the Aston Martin was procured in the early 2010s by a collector situated in New England. Under his stewardship, the DB5 continued to benefit from meticulous care, with periodic expert interventions such as the installation of a Harvey Bailey suspension kit aimed at enhancing handling, alongside the fitting of a modern aluminum radiator to optimize engine cooling efficiency. In June of 2018, the Aston Martin was acquired by a noted car collector with numerious 1st place concours awards for cars from his esteemed collection, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The gentleman entrusted “Raffi Najjarian of The Pit Stop”, a concours winning restoration expert in the Bay Area, to do a ground up restoration of this legendary DB5. As part of the restoration process, the coachwork underwent a meticulous repaint in the iconic vintage Aston Martin racing green hue, while the interior was reupholstered in dark green leather. Extensive mechanical refurbishments were undertaken, including the rebuilding of the driveshaft assembly, brakes, suspension, carburetors, steering, and instruments. Additionally, components such as the fuel pump, water pump, oil cooler, motor mounts, and transmission mounts were replaced to ensure optimal performance. The final touches and detailing were entrusted to the esteemed specialists at Kevin Kay Restorations. Detailed invoices reveal that the comprehensive restoration amounted to over $390,000, resulting in one of the most exceptional DB5 examples to be encountered. The Aston Martin has been thoughtfully enhanced with the addition of electronic ignition and an electronic steering assist system, enhancing its suitability for long-distance touring adventures. With these upgrades, the DB5 is poised to make a distinguished appearance at prestigious concours d’elegance events and marque gatherings. It is important to highlight that 1990/L still retains its original matching-numbers engine, significantly enhancing the car’s authenticity and value. Presented with an owner’s manual and tools, this beautifully restored DB5 represents an exceptionally well-maintained example of Aston Martin’s most iconic model. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface. 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Canepa If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

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

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