The result was a luxurious V8 Convertible that would become one of the most successful passenger car series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. Resplendent in rare English Red paired with a black hard top, soft top, and leather upholstery, this thoughtfully preserved R107 is a particularly desirable final-year example and unusual Canadian spec delivery. Like its Pagoda predecessor, the R107 cuts quite a striking, yet highly refined line, especially when paired with factory "bundt" style alloy wheels and a darker, contrasting hardtop. Both hard and soft tops are finished in black. The two-tone look complements the car nicely, and it looks particularly handsome in all configurations. Inside, thick, black beautifully mellowed leather retains a factory appearance, while the center console displays preserved wood veneer, ventilation controls, and correct Becker Mexico cassette deck. The trio of deeply hooded gauge pods is home to a central, metric speedometer. A recent 2024 inspection, service, and complete European bumper and headlight conversion ensures this collector grade SL is ready to provide a stylish open-air driving experience for its next owner as a strong contender for continued enjoyment and preservation. 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM
Widely viewed as the most spectacular and exciting manifestation of the 1990s touring car boom, the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) was blessed with star drivers, significant manufacturer involvement and, crucially, excellent promotion. In 1993, the series adopted the Class 1 FIA ruleset, which permitted the development of high-revving, multi-cylinder engines, advanced four-wheel-drive systems and outrageous-yet-aerodynamically efficient “silhouette” bodywork. Such technical latitude was instrumental in Alfa Romeo’s decision to join the series with its stunning 2.5-litre, V6-powered, four-wheel-drive 155 V6 TI model. Remarkably, the marque’s new charge took 14 wins in its debut year and defeated the rival Works-backed AMG-Mercedes and Joest-Opel teams to secure the 1993 title in the hands of Nicola Larini. Alfa Romeo returned to the series in 1994; its principal Alfa Corse squad was supported once again by the three-car, semi-Works Schübel Engineering team. Although benefitting from significant technical improvements—including a new Kelsey-Hayes ABS system and Active Suspension—Alfa Romeo’s campaign was blighted by poor reliability; Mercedes-Benz securing the 1994 title courtesy of Klaus Ludwig, with Larini no better than 3rd in the final standings. The spectacular example offered here—chassis number SE057-004—is one of just 10 examples of the 1994-specification car constructed by Alfa Corse, and one of the three cars campaigned by Schübel. Driven exclusively by Grand Prix veteran Christian Danner, it secured no fewer than 14 points-scoring finishes, including two superb 2nd-placed finishes at May’s Nürburgring Eifelrennen round. An eventual 9th place in the 1994 DTM standings was further supplemented by a 3rd-placed finish in the first of two non-Championship races in Mugello, Italy. In 1995, chassis 004 passed into the hands of the Arese-based Euroteam squad, for whom Danner’s Formula 1 contemporary Stefano Modena piloted it in the first four races of that year’s DTM. Appropriately, the car’s competitive career concluded on a high note, with a 5th and a 2nd at Avus in early May; the car returning to Alfa Corse for display purposes thereafter. In 2017, 004 was subjected to an exacting “bare metal“ restoration by marque expert Fabrizio Pandolfi and has covered only minimal mileage since. Acquired by the present owner in 2018, it is accompanied by a spares package that includes a spare engine, two gearboxes and a spare front differential, as well as its original Wagenpass. 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera
Significance Every car enthusiast has their favorite generation of Porsche 911- to some, the lively and revvy early cars are the best, whereas others seek the ultimate performance and comfort from the newest models off the production line. But if you were to take a pole, there is no doubt that the 993 would be at, or very near, the top of the list. Standing as the final air-cooled 911 to roll out of Stuttgart, the 993 combines many of the characteristics people look for in a vintage 911 with the performance, reliability, and comfort we have become accustomed to in recent years. This is then wrapped in a stunning body that draws on many classic 911 design cues but has been modernized to bridge the gap between the air-cooled generation and the forthcoming water-cooled cars. Sold in the United States between 1995 and 1998, the 993 was a relatively limited production car stateside, and as they were so good, many of them were driven extensively and not kept to the high standard they deserved. About this vehicle This 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera is a lifelong California car sold new at Sonnen Porsche in San Rafael, California, and is finished in Polar Silver Metallic over Black leather upholstery. Showing 56,486 miles, the car is in very good condition inside and out. This example is being sold with a clean California title but does show a minor front-end accident on the CarFax in 2018, and there is evidence of some paintwork elsewhere on the car. Sitting on a set of staggered 17” Porsche Cup II wheels, this 993 has a great stance and is fitted with the 1995-only “basket handle” spoiler/3rd brake light in the rear. This Porsche is optioned with a black partial leather interior on the inside. The front seats have partial power adjustment, and the original Porsche AM/FM Cassette player is still installed in the dashboard. Overall, the condition of the leather and carpets is very good, and they both show minimal wear, given the car’s age. These 993 interiors are a real transition point for the 911 as they retain much of the original character found in the earlier cars, including the gauge layout and simple dashboard. However, they are more comfortable and equipped with nice features such as air conditioning that actually blows cold and a power sunroof. Powering the 993 Carrera is a 3.6-liter M64 Flat-6 engine that produces 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and loves to pull hard all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. These early 993s are fitted with OBD1 and do not have the Varioram system fitted to the intake. Although the Varioram adds a bit of power, it also increases complexity and can make emissions testing more difficult. This car is fitted with a positive-feeling Getrag G50.21 6-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. For a driving enthusiast who loves the idea of a classic Porsche 911 but wants some added practicality and usability, it is hard to find a better “do everything” car than the 993 Carrera. This example has been nicely preserved but doesn’t have so few miles that you will be scared to use it, and it is finished in the quintessential Porsche color combination of silver over black. If you are looking for a fun collectible car that you can still drive to work or on weekend road trips, this is truly the ideal car and will provide years of enjoyment behind the wheel. 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

These early 993s are fitted with OBD1 and do not have the Varioram system fitted to the intake. Although the Varioram adds a bit of power, it also increases complexity and can make emissions testing more difficult. This car is fitted with a positive-feeling Getrag G50.21 6-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. For a driving enthusiast who loves the idea of a classic Porsche 911 but wants some added practicality and usability, it is hard to find a better “do everything” car than the 993 Carrera. This example has been nicely preserved but doesn’t have so few miles that you will be scared to use it, and it is finished in the quintessential Porsche color combination of silver over black. If you are looking for a fun collectible car that you can still drive to work or on weekend road trips, this is truly the ideal car and will provide years of enjoyment behind the wheel.

- 1985 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole
May my enemies live long enough to see my success Launched in 1980, the Ferrari Mondial took over from the 308GT4. It had the same V8 engine in the middle, but on a longer wheelbase. Instead of Bertone’s striking style, the Pininfarina-designed Mondial was like an elegant Italian symphony of cortesia: better equipped, more comfortable, with real 2+2 seats (which Ferrari admits are especially suitable for children and small adults) and still good for 140 mph. The 6-or also called ‘QV’ – delivered from 1982 onwards – has four valves per cylinder instead of two. The power output of the 2.9-litre V8 rose from 214 to 240 hp due to this upgrade. The finishing touch people secretly longed for. The Mondial 8 is still considered one of Ferrari’s most reliable, cheap to maintain and practical models. And that’s just good news. Is the Mondial a real Ferrari? Yes, and the Quattrovalvole especially so. As soon as you get in, you notice that all the bells are shaped around the driver and the eight-cylinder, behind your back, gives off a lovely sound. When you bring it to life, you can hear the cooling water sloshing and the petrol pump humming. Ingegneria Emozionale! The prancing Modena-ros has 240 hp and a dogleg 5-speed gearbox, perfectly matched. Today, the Mondial QV is more desirable by the minute. Something about jump on board and don’t miss this opportunity later you’ll regret…. And ours? In the best colour combination Rosso Corsa with beige leather on the inside. Largely in possession of its first coat of paint. It has driven just 20 thousand miles, which makes it a true collector’s item. As Enzo himself used to say: ‘Too much is not enough’. We agree, so this one belongs in your collection. Already have one? Not enough, we’ll see you soon! 1985 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1958 Aston Martin DB 2/4 MKIII 1
This is a stunning example of the elegant Aston Martin DB2/4 Mark III, commonly known as the DB Mk III, produced between March 1957 and July 1959 in a limited run of only 551 units, of which just 85 were convertibles. The DB Mk III is distinguished from other DB2 models by its grille, inspired by racing vehicles, which has since become a signature feature of Aston Martin and is now a hallmark on all subsequent models. Its low production volume is explained by the fact that the DB Mk III was entirely hand-built, with each engine signed by its designer, and, most importantly, the model was sold in an almost confidential manner. The 3-litre Lagonda engine was significantly enhanced by Tadek Marek, who joined Aston Martin in 1954 and would later create the iconic DB4. The DBA engine featured a new crankcase, redesigned intake and exhaust manifolds, new overhead camshafts, a new engine block, and an oil pump. Its distinctive, throaty sound evokes that of a race car, markedly different from other ‘Gran Turismo’ vehicles. With a displacement of 2,922 cc and dual SU H4 carburetors, the DBA engine delivered 162 hp at 5,500 rpm, and an additional 16 hp on models equipped with dual exhausts, like the one presented here. Our Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk III is elegantly finished in Pacific Blue, which pairs beautifully with its grey-blue leather interior. Delivered with a manual transmission and right-hand drive by Aston Martin London in 1958, it is equipped with an original overdrive, an option only available on the “III B” models. Cherished by two or three successive English owners, it underwent a full restoration in 2010. Following this, it was sold by Coys to its current owner, a passionate Belgian collector who has kept it in his collection for the past 14 years. With just over 98,000 miles on the clock, it is ready to take you on rallies or scenic getaways. 1958 Aston Martin DB 2/4 MKIII AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster
The Most “Iconic” 356 Matching numbers engine, transmission, and body panels Porsche Certificate of Authenticity Expertly concours-level restored Rudge wheels, Speedster Sport Bucket Seats Includes books, tool kit, jack, spare wheel/tire, boot cover, and side curtains Extensive photo documentation of restoration Classic original color combination of Silver Metallic over Black Leatherette interior The final year of 356 Speedster production Created and built from the vision of America’s most prolific importers Max Hoffman, the Porsche 356 Speedster filled a void that the clever automotive industrialist thought was lacking: a lightweight, few frills, open top sports car. Infallible driving characteristics of Porsche’s early roadster along with its fantastic styling drove its massive surge in popularity, rooting Porsche’s foothold in the United States. His intuition, again like many other times, proved to be correct and the Speedster was a resounding success. Finding iconic owners such as Steve McQueen saw the Speedster’s popularity shoot into the stratosphere, and today these low-slung 356s are some of the most sought-after variants built by Porsche. This 1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster was one of the last Speedsters to roll off the Porsche’s production line as 1958 was the final year of production. According to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it was completed on January 31st, 1958, optioned in Silver Metallic paint with Black Leatherette seats. The COA also lists the engine and transmission number, 68562 and 18232 respectively, which are numbers matching. Standard equipment included a 60 horsepower 1,582cc OHV air-cooled flat four engine with dual Zenith carburetors, a 4-speed 644 manual transmission, independent front suspension with laminated torsion bars, parallel trailing arms, tubular shock absorbers, independent rear swing axles with torsion bars and tubular shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. When restorers look for vehicles ideal for a complete restoration, they often look for original tubs, rust and damage free as much as possible, matching panels, and as many original parts that can be saved to add to the authenticity. This Speedster fit that bill perfectly. Stored in a garage for some time in New Mexico, the little roadster sat undisturbed for many years. Upon being rolled out from its New Mexico hideout, the body looked exceptional with zero rust anywhere due to the arid climate. Photographs in the restoration book show its original condition upon being found. It was then decided to restore the 356 Speedster back to its original condition when it was new. During the restoration the Speedster was completely stripped down to the bare metal. Pictures indicate that all panels were brought down to the factory metal to ensure no details were missed. Confirming suspicions, there was no rust anywhere on the body panels due to being garaged in New Mexico. The 356 then went through multiple stages that would yield a concours-level paint finish in its original Certificate of Authenticity-confirmed Silver Metallic paint color. Afterwards, the original windshield was polished and reinstalled into the car. All componentry was rebuilt and restored as necessary, including suspension, accessories, chrome details, wiring harness, gauges, and more. Using only OEM parts down to the last nut and bolt, this 356 Speedster is as close to new in 1958 that you can get. Critical components such as the matching numbers 1.6-liter flat four engine and 4-speed manual transmission were disassembled, inventoried, and completely rebuilt to factory specifications. Photographs indicate the rebuild process of the engine and transmission including the restoration of all other components. The Speedster’s interior, Black Leatherette, was completely restored to factory specifications. Oatmeal Germany square weave carpets were installed for an authentic restoration. Photographs indicate the installation process. After completion of the restoration, this 1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster presents wonderfully. With its matching numbers engine and transmission confirmed by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, matching body panels throughout, and expertly restored back to its original specification of 1958 per the COA, this Speedster is ready to drive another half century.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The Most “Iconic” 356 Matching numbers engine, transmission, and body panels Porsche Certificate of Authenticity Expertly concours-level restored Rudge wheels, Speedster Sport Bucket Seats Includes books, tool kit, jack, spare wheel/tire, boot cover, and side curtains Extensive photo documentation of restoration Classic original color combination of Silver Metallic over Black Leatherette interior The final year of 356 Speedster production Created and built from the vision of America’s most prolific importers Max Hoffman, the Porsche 356 Speedster filled a void that the clever automotive industrialist thought was lacking: a lightweight, few frills, open top sports car. Infallible driving characteristics of Porsche’s early roadster along with its fantastic styling drove its massive surge in popularity, rooting Porsche’s foothold in the United States. His intuition, again like many other times, proved to be correct and the Speedster was a resounding success. Finding iconic owners such as Steve McQueen saw the Speedster’s popularity shoot into the stratosphere, and today these low-slung 356s are some of the most sought-after variants built by Porsche. This 1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster was one of the last Speedsters to roll off the Porsche’s production line as 1958 was the final year of production. According to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it was completed on January 31st, 1958, optioned in Silver Metallic paint with Black Leatherette seats. The COA also lists the engine and transmission number, 68562 and 18232 respectively, which are numbers matching. Standard equipment included a 60 horsepower 1,582cc OHV air-cooled flat four engine with dual Zenith carburetors, a 4-speed 644 manual transmission, independent front suspension with laminated torsion bars, parallel trailing arms, tubular shock absorbers, independent rear swing axles with torsion bars and tubular shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. When restorers look for vehicles ideal for a complete restoration, they often look for original tubs, rust and damage free as much as possible, matching panels, and as many original parts that can be saved to add to the authenticity. This Speedster fit that bill perfectly. Stored in a garage for some time in New Mexico, the little roadster sat undisturbed for many years. Upon being rolled out from its New Mexico hideout, the body looked exceptional with zero rust anywhere due to the arid climate. Photographs in the restoration book show its original condition upon being found. It was then decided to restore the 356 Speedster back to its original condition when it was new. During the restoration the Speedster was completely stripped down to the bare metal. Pictures indicate that all panels were brought down to the factory metal to ensure no details were missed. Confirming suspicions, there was no rust anywhere on the body panels due to being garaged in New Mexico. The 356 then went through multiple stages that would yield a concours-level paint finish in its original Certificate of Authenticity-confirmed Silver Metallic paint color. Afterwards, the original windshield was polished and reinstalled into the car. All componentry was rebuilt and restored as necessary, including suspension, accessories, chrome details, wiring harness, gauges, and more. Using only OEM parts down to the last nut and bolt, this 356 Speedster is as close to new in 1958 that you can get. Critical components such as the matching numbers 1.6-liter flat four engine and 4-speed manual transmission were disassembled, inventoried, and completely rebuilt to factory specifications. Photographs indicate the rebuild process of the engine and transmission including the restoration of all other components. The Speedster’s interior, Black Leatherette, was completely restored to factory specifications. Oatmeal Germany square weave carpets were installed for an authentic restoration. Photographs indicate the installation process. After completion of the restoration, this 1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster presents wonderfully. With its matching numbers engine and transmission confirmed by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, matching body panels throughout, and expertly restored back to its original specification of 1958 per the COA, this Speedster is ready to drive another half century.

- 1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal 1
This rare Alfa Romeo Coupé was delivered in Switzerland and was first registered on 25 October 1972. The front seats were probably reupholstered in black goatskin in the early 1980s and the Montreal was painted in ‘marrone metallizzato’. In October 1986, the Alfa was deregistered and integrated into the collection of a garage owner. A few years later, he decided to preserve the coupé with around 106,000 kilometres on the clock and park it in his garage. Finally, in 2020, the Montreal was freed from the garage and carefully put back into operation - all the fluids were replaced, the brake lines were renewed, the petrol tank was flushed and refilled, and the engine was fitted with new spark plugs. Unfortunately, time had left traces of rust on the bodywork and it was decided to restore it. In the course of this work, the original colour was revealed and the Montreal was given a complete paint job in AR 601 - Orange. The Alfa Romeo now presents itself in new splendour, the interior shows signs of wear commensurate with its age and the engine and gearbox are in perfect working order.

- 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing
In many senses, while the Lamborghini Miura was the first automobile to be referred to by name as a “supercar,” the actual title of “first supercar” status belongs to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Like the Ferrari F40 and its like, it captured the aura of being exactly what it was: racing car technology, loosely disguised for the street. Its specifications in 1954 were as advanced then as the carbon fiber exoskeletons of today. Power came from an overhead-cam six-cylinder engine, mounted at an angle within the engine compartment and equipped with Boch mechanical fuel injection and dry-sump lubrication. It was wrapped in steel and alloy bodywork, designed for maximum streamlined efficiency, and wrapped around a tubular frame. The latter necessitated the car’s most distinguishing feature, doors hinged at the roof, which when opened created the famed “gullwing” appearance. Every trip in a 300 SL would be a unique experience, including that of getting into the car: mastering the art of first straddling the door sill, swinging one’s right hip in, and then drawing in the rest of the body and pulling down the door. Once fitted, a 300 SL suits its owner like a tailored tuxedo; the steering wheel is at an optimal position even for stockier drivers, and the gearshift falls, as they say, readily at hand. It is sleek, cozy, and evocative today. In the world of the 1950s, it was a spaceship. Automotive press of the time agreed. “For a passenger who has not traveled in the 300 SL before, the effect is electrifying,” noted Autocar. “The occupant receives at first a mild pressing back into the seat and then, as the power comes in between 3,500 rpm and 4,000 rpm, he feels as though he is being rocketed through space. Up to 70 mph is available in second gear, and then comes a quick movement into third. The rev counter needle drops back for a second or two and, again at 4,000 rpm, the effect of being urged forward by some irresistible force is felt. The acceleration is truly remarkable…Press the accelerator well down even at over 100 mph in top gear and, again, there is the feeling of being on the end of a rope that is being pulled hard from in front of the car. The way the 300 SL does it all with so little fuss is almost uncanny.” CHASSIS NUMBER 198.040.5500681 The 300 SL Gullwing offered here was originally ordered from the Mercedes-Benz distributors in New York City, finished in Fire Engine Red (DB 534) over Black leather (953) interior, with the data card noting high-gloss paint as well as special upholstery. Its earliest known owner, as recorded in the Gull Wing Group Registry, was Theodore Soltis of Wilmington, Delaware. Subsequent owners are recorded as Henry K. Mearig, Jr., of Manheim, Pennsylvania, later a noted Saab and Volvo dealer in Lancaster and a regular participant in Quaker State hillclimbs during this era, as well as several enthusiasts in New York State. Afterward the car briefly returned to its homeland when purchased by Ehlich Renhard of Düsseldorf; information in the file indicates that it was first restored in Mr. Renhard’s ownership. In 1998 the 300 SL was purchased by the prolific sports car collector Gene Ponder of Marshall, Texas. Mr. Ponder retained the Gullwing in his noted collection for over eight years, before selling it in 2007 to well-known vintage Mercedes-Benz enthusiast Thomas Taffet of California. It then transacted to the current owner, who has maintained it in the Dare to Dream Collection for the last decade. During its time in the Dare to Dream Collection, the 300 SL has been cosmetically restored by the famed 300 SL specialists Rudi & Co. to the same color scheme of the car in the renowned Ralph Lauren collection, Silver Gray (DB 180) with a pigskin-grain brown leather interior. Additional mechanical services have been undertaken as necessary, with invoices for the latter included in the history file. The car is still fitted with its numbers-matching chassis and engine, as noted on the data card, as well as its numbers-matching body and front and rear axles; its gearbox is a replacement unit numbered 003165. It is presently equipped with reproduction Rudge wheels and a set of fitted luggage—two of the most desirable and sought-after options for a 300 SL—as well as a set of belly pans. It is an ideally specified example of that modern rocket, the father of the supercars to come. 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The car is still fitted with its numbers-matching chassis and engine, as noted on the data card, as well as its numbers-matching body and front and rear axles; its gearbox is a replacement unit numbered 003165. It is presently equipped with reproduction Rudge wheels and a set of fitted luggage—two of the most desirable and sought-after options for a 300 SL—as well as a set of belly pans. It is an ideally specified example of that modern rocket, the father of the supercars to come.

- 1966-porsche-906-1
Although incorporating certain lessons learned from the preceding 904 GTS programme, Porsche’s new-for-1966 906 model–officially designated the Carrera 6–was notably divergent in its mechanical composition. Whereas the 904 employed a ladder chassis with a bonded fibreglass body, the 906 used a more conventional multi-tubular frame, clothed in unstressed fibreglass of nominal thickness to minimise weight. Some 65 chassis would be constructed, of which 52 were fitted with 2-litre, six-cylinder carburettor engines, nine equipped with fuel injection and four with experimental 2.2-litre eight-cylinder motors. Significantly, in customer specification, the new car offered a weight reduction of some 200 pounds relative to the outgoing 904. Competition success was immediate, with a 2-litre class win–and sixth overall–achieved on debut in the Daytona 24 Hours, with further class wins forthcoming in the Sebring 12 Hours and at the Monza, Spa, Nürburgring and Paris 1,000 Kilometre races. If, inexplicably, there was any doubt as to the new car’s abilities, then outright victories at the Targa Florio and Circuito del Mugello–not to mention fourth overall and the almost inevitable class win at Le Mans–surely put these to rest. Indeed over the next two seasons, until its replacement with the 910, the 906 became arguably the most accomplished and versatile of all two-litre Sports Racing cars. The car offered here, chassis 906-115, was completed at Zuffenhausen on 9 March 1966, to the order of keen Italian amateur racer and hillclimber Ermanno Spazzapan. Invariably competing under the pseudonym of “Mann”, Spazzapan enjoyed a strong affiliation with Porsche, having previously campaigned both a 356B 2000GS and a 356 Carrera Abarth GTL in Italian domestic events in 1964 and 1965. However, his purchase of 906-115 in the Spring of 1966 represented not only his first known experience of a Sports Prototype, but also a significant step up in terms of performance. As with other customer specification 906s, 906-115 was fitted with a six-cylinder Type-901/20 engine, which employed a sand-cast magnesium elektron crankcase, forged steel crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, forged alloy pistons and dry-sump lubrication. A compression ratio of 10.3:1 afforded a power output of some 210 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, while a five-speed Type-906/1 gearbox transmitted this to the road. “Mann” made his debut in 906-115 at the Stallavena-Boscochiesanuova hillclimb on 17 April, in which he finished second in class in the over-2000cc Sports Racing car class. The remainder of the season encompassed some nine further events–eight hillclimbs and one race–and the pair became a regular sight on the Italian hillclimb scene. The Antignano-Monte Burrone round in June represented the season’s highlight, with an outright win, while the event from Spazzapan’s hometown of Vittorio Veneto, in Treviso, to Consoglio yielded a noteworthy second place overall. Third place finishes were also achieved at Cividale-Castelmonte, Bolzano-Mendola and at the Coppa Alpe del Nevegal, while the season’s sole circuit-based event saw the pair finish second in class at the Coppa Agip at Vallelunga, behind the victorious sister 906 of “Noris”. However, after only a single season of ownership, Spazzapan opted to sell 906-115 to his fellow countryman Ennio Bonomelli in early 1967. The latter would later emerge as something of a Porsche specialist, driving a variety of models including a 908/03, 910 and 911 RSR, and winning the 1968 Italian GT Championship in a 911S, yet it appears that he drove 906-115 on only three occasions, each of which were hillclimbs. Instead, the car was primarily entrusted to Antonio Zadra–occasionally known by his pseudonym of “Khandaru”–and Giuseppe Dalla Torre. The car’s race debut under its new ownership came in a 20-lap Unlimited Sports Car race at Innsbruck in May 1967, although regrettably its finishing position is unknown. Next, however, was the altogether more serious prospect of the 500 kilometres of Mugello; then a round of the World Sportscar Championship. Held on the daunting 66.2 kilometre road circuit, the event attracted no less than 111 entries, including two factory-entered Porsche 910s for Schütz/ Mitter and Neerpasch/ Stommelen, two Scuderia Ferrari 206 Dino Competiziones for Scarfiotti/ Vaccarella and Klass/ Williams, and three Autodelta Alfa Romeo T33s. At the conclusion of the gruelling 8-lap, near four-and-a-half hour race, Schütz and Mitter prevailed–with their 910-mounted teammates second and the Prototype-class Porsche 911R of Elford and van Lennep third. However, “Khandaru” and Dalla Torre drove superbly to finish tenth overall and third in class; beaten only in their category by the similar 906s of Cella/ Biscaldi and Nicodemi/ Facetti. A little over a month later, “Khandaru” drove the car to a fine 14th overall and seventh in class at the Ollon-Villars hillclimb, while the season rounded off at Aspern, in Austria, in early October. There, a high quality entry for the 40-lap Sports Car race included the likes of Dieter Quester and Peter Schetty–in works BMW and Abarth respectively–but “Khandaru” and 906-115 acquitted themselves admirably, finishing ninth overall and third in the 2-litre class. Intriguingly, the 1968 season was scheduled to start with an entry into the Nürburgring 1,000 kilometres–once again with “Khandaru” and Dalla Torre driving–but evidently 906-115 failed to appear. However, in late-June, it contested the Coppa Gallenga at Vallelunga, where “Khandaru” finished a fine third overall and first in class behind the Ferrari 206S Dino of Ferdiando Latteri and the Porsche 910 of Antonio Nicodemi. Disappointingly, a return to the Circuito del Mugello in late July proved frustrating for the car’s customary pilots, ending as it did in an early retirement. Arguably 906-115’s finest hour came in the Imola 500 kilometres, held at the scenic Emilia-Romagna circuit in September 1968. A fine race entry included three privately-entered Porsche 910s–one of which was to be shared by factory driver Vic Elford–and three Autodelta Alfa Romeo T33/2s driven by the all-star team of Vaccarella/Zeccoli, Giunti/Galli and Casoni/Dini. Once again “Khandaru” and Dalla Torre were paired in the car; both drivers and car excelling to finish a fine fourth overall–and first in class–behind the three Alfas. The car’s final contemporary race season concluded in Austria with races on consecutive weekends in Aspern and Innsbruck, in early October. Ranged against some of the most respected Sportscar drivers of the day–including Merzario, Marko and Hezemans–Zadra finished a respectable ninth, and third in class, in Aspern and seventh–fifth in the 2-litre class–in Innsbruck. The rapidly changing Sports Prototype landscape of the late 1960s–and in particular the increasingly important role of aerodynamics–rendered both the 906 and many of its Group 4 contemporaries increasingly uncompetitive in International Sportscar racing. However, the 1970s saw burgeoning interest in newly-designated “Historic” racing cars and, against this backdrop, 906-115 was subsequently located and purchased by Bergamo-based enthusiast and broker Corrado Cupellini. Having retained ownership for several years, Cupellini sold 906-115 to German Porsche luminary Bernd Becker in 1977; the car representing a fitting stablemate for the latter’s ex-Ben Pon 910. Becker would retain 906-115 for almost a quarter of a century, regularly racing the car throughout Europe and, on occasions, in South Africa, until its sale to German-based brokers PS Automobile in 2001. In their custody, 906-115 was subjected to a comprehensive rebuild; the retention of its original GRP panels, engine and gearbox all being noted at this time. Duly completed and returned to its original colour of Grand Prix White, 906-115 reappeared in the 2002 Tour Auto, before being sold to Frenchman Alain Salat in 2004. In his custody, the car contested the Tour Auto again, prior to its acquisition by an anonymous French collector in 2007, and subsequent purchase by Swiss-based collector Carlo Perego in 2014. The latter retained the car for some seven years, before selling it to the most recent previous owner in 2020. In his custody, 906-115 has been fastidiously maintained by marque experts Road Scholars of Durham, NC, at a cost of over $60,000. This has included–but is not restricted to–rebuilds of the carburettors and steering rack, the replacement of the rear crankshaft oil seal, clutch and front suspension ball joints, and the performance of general engine calibration work. Remarkably, in September 2020, the car joined 906-109, 906-110 and 906-158 for a memorable 300-mile road trip between Vail and Aspen, Colorado; the dramatic scenery of the Rockies providing an appropriately Alpine context in which to celebrate 906-115’s formative years. With the current owner, the car’s original windscreen was replaced due to a crack, but has been retained for safe keeping. Highly accomplished, reassuringly uncomplicated and commendably practical, the Porsche 906 remains one of the greatest of all competitive all-rounders–not to mention perhaps the supreme giant-killer. Furthermore, its sheer versatility renders it ideally suited to–and highly eligible for–some of the world’s greatest historic events. In the case of 906-115, these attributes are further supplemented by its fascinating competition history and truly extraordinary originality. Indeed, the latter is confirmed by the retention of both its original engine and gearbox–serial numbers 906-113 and 906-110 respectively–as at the time of cataloguing, despite the passage of almost six decades, and a fascinatingly varied competition career. 1966 Porsche 906 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1965-porsche-911-2l-fia
Few sports cars have proven as versatile as Porsche's timeless 911, a model that has proven itself capable of being a true grand tourer as well as a rally and circuit car over the past 50 years. A "modern classic" if ever there was one, the 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 901, but shortly after it went into production in 1964 became the 911, following a complaint from Peugeot, which had filed a complaint about the use of the central zero for its models. The rear overhung engine architecture of its 356 predecessor was retained, but the 911 used a monocoque structure for its construction and abandoned the Volkswagen-derived suspension of the 356 in favor of a more modern strut and trailing arm McPherson system. In its first incarnation, Porsche's 1991cc air-cooled, single overhead cam flat six developed 130 bhp. When Porsche began to look at ways to improve its successful 356 model in the mid-1950s, it quickly became apparent that a simple evolution would not be enough. The potential changes to the 356 were such that an entirely new model had to be developed. The new Porsche would offer more space for occupants, as well as sufficient storage space for a set of golf clubs. The performance level of the new model was to match that of the 356 Carrera 2, while retaining the refinement of the 'normal' 356. The basic platform layout was to be retained, as well as the familiar Porsche silhouette. Ferdinand, Ferry Porsche's eldest son, was responsible for the design, developing the chassis and bodywork, while his cousin, Ferdinand Piëch, developed the air-cooled flat-six. The first advertisements for the new car stated: "... to design and build - almost without compromise - the ultimate car for getting from one point to another in the fastest, safest and most enjoyable way possible." The 911 is new in every detail, but it is undeniably a Porsche. Thanks to Ferdinand Piëch, the 901/911 was designed as a racing car from the beginning. This is particularly clear in the engine design with its dry sump and overflow Solex carburetors, both of which were developed in racing to make the engine run more smoothly. The overflow carburetors were unfortunately to prove unsuitable for road use. As early as 1964, the factory had equipped ten 904s with the six-cylinder 911 and named them 906s (which is the prefix of their chassis number). This led to confusion with the 906 Carrera 6, so the name 904/6 was preferred. These 904-906s were used to test the 901 engine for competition use in the 911. As it seemed to work well, it was decided not to wait any longer and to enter a 904/6 in the 49th Targa Florio. The race was won by a Ferrari 275 P2. The Italians did well to savour this victory, because the next five editions were won by Porsches. Second place went to an eight-cylinder Spyder 904 Kanguruh followed by a 904/6 (Maglioli-Linge) with a 901 engine. This was the first race appearance of the six-cylinder 911 in a version boosted to 210 hp at 8,000 rpm (901/20 engine). During the course of the year, this engine proved to be remarkably reliable. The green light was therefore given for the creation of a sports version of the 901 for the 911 S. The 911, a sedan? At the time of the 911's racing debut, it was still possible to enter identical cars powered by different engines in different classes. Of course, this required discussions with FIA officials. Fortunately, Porsche could count on the diplomatic skills of Huschke von Hanstein to obtain homologation for the 11 and 911L in Group 2 (touring cars) and the 911T and 911S in Grand Touring (Group 3). Even a lightweight, unbroken 911T like a 911S is approved as a GT car with a dry weight of 923 kg. The reason for the FIA's tolerance is that the first competition 911s were very similar to the production models, at least until the A-series. The only changes were in ride height and torsion bar settings. The gearboxes could be fitted with gears suitable for all kinds of competition. From the point of view of the regulations, Porsche had an unquestionable advantage because the FIA considered the 911 to be a sedan, which even allowed it to take part in certain races where sports cars were forbidden. The commercial benefits were nil as the public considered the victories to be unfair, as the 911s were obviously GTs. The only drawback was that in Group 2 (Touring) and Group 3 (GT), the 911s could not benefit from any increase in engine capacity above 2 liter. Of course, the 911s entered in the Prototype Class could have engines with increased displacement within the limits of the regulations. If the increase in displacement was forbidden, it was of course possible to increase the power. For this purpose, Porsche had obtained the approval of "kits". For the 911 and 911L, they made it possible to easily reach 160 hp. The engine was then called "Rallye" or 2000R. For the 911T and S, the factory supplied an engine identical to that of the Carrera 6, but without the dual ignition. An even more advanced version (with titanium connecting rods) was available, which was reserved for the 911T racing cars. Rallye de Monte-Carlo 1965 : This year, to everyone's surprise, a 904 finished second overall in the 34th Monte Carlo Rally. It was driven by Böhringer (a private hotelier and former Mercedes racer) with Wütherich (James Dean's mechanic) as co-driver. The winning car was a Mini Cooper, much better suited to the terrible winter conditions of 1965, and no one foresaw that Porsches would ever beat the Mini. Just as no one noticed the participation of a 911, the fiftieth 911 to come off the Zuffenhausen production line, whose baptism of fire in competition was the first of its kind. Driven by the extremely experienced factory driver Herbert Linge and engineer Peter Falk, it finished an astonishing fifth overall and second in class. Season 1965: Porsche's participation in the other rounds of the European Rally Championship was a failure. It must be said that Huschke von Hanstein did not consider this to be an activity worthy of great financial effort. Even when rallying becomes a Porsche specialty, it will be with derisory means compared to those devoted to prototypes. It is true that the publicity given to Porsche by the results of the 917 prototypes will somewhat overshadow the rally victories of the small 911. It took all the persuasion and talent of Vic Elford to get Huschke von Hanstein to admit that this was an opportunity not to be missed. 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966: Another historic event that goes unnoticed: the first participation of a 911 at Le Mans. It was a virtually original 911S, 1965 model (chassis 303.355), which was entered in the GT category (under number 35) by Jacques Dewez. Driven by Kerguen and "Franc" (Dewez), it finished fourteenth in the distance classification and twelfth in the performance index at an average speed of 159 km/h. At the end of the race, it was put up for sale and left as it had arrived, by road. Our car: Purchased by the current owner in 2019, our car already has many years of Historic racing under its belt. It will therefore be regularly entered in Peter Auto races and rallies. The car will receive comprehensive and regular maintenance, as evidenced by its invoice records. Major work (engine and gearbox) has been carried out by Berto Moteurs and, since 2021, by Mecacomponent, which provides support. With its valid PTH, it is the ideal car for numerous historic races or rallies and outings with friends. This is an opportunity to acquire a superb 1965 Porsche 911 racing car! Eligible for the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic and, above all, the highly competitive 2.0L Cup one-make championship. 1965 Porsche 911 2L FIA Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A "modern classic" if ever there was one, the 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 901, but shortly after it went into production in 1964 became the 911, following a complaint from Peugeot, which had filed a complaint about the use of the central zero for its models. The rear overhung engine architecture of its 356 predecessor was retained, but the 911 used a monocoque structure for its construction and abandoned the Volkswagen-derived suspension of the 356 in favor of a more modern strut and trailing arm McPherson system. In its first incarnation, Porsche's 1991cc air-cooled, single overhead cam flat six developed 130 bhp. When Porsche began to look at ways to improve its successful 356 model in the mid-1950s, it quickly became apparent that a simple evolution would not be enough. The potential changes to the 356 were such that an entirely new model had to be developed. The new Porsche would offer more space for occupants, as well as sufficient storage space for a set of golf clubs. The performance level of the new model was to match that of the 356 Carrera 2, while retaining the refinement of the 'normal' 356.
