- 1983-lamborghini-countach-5000-s-by-bertone
The quintessential dream car of its era, the Lamborghini Countach defined an entire generation of automotive enthusiasm and forever recast what a supercar could and should be. It fully embraced the radical thinking and spirit of revolution that defined its forebearer, the inimitable Miura, but rejected the familiar sculpted and curvaceous styling in favor of a striking wedge shape with pop-up headlights and outrageous scissor doors. Clean, crisp, and angular, the design study sent shockwaves worldwide when unveiled at the 1971 Geneva International Motor Show. Like the Miura, the Countach would benefit from various revisions throughout its life, with ever more advanced and powerful iterations continually pushing the envelope of performance. In 1982, Lamborghini introduced the LP5000 S, which brought with it a huge developmental leap in the form of a new longitudinally mounted 4.8-liter V-12 fed by six Weber carburetors. Just 321 would ultimately be built, making them rare when new and longed for by discerning enthusiasts today. Chassis 12598, one of these coveted 321 examples, is being offered for the first time in over three decades. Acquired by the consignor in 1993, the car has since lived a life of moderate use and meticulous care as reflected in its mere 30,297 kilometers (~18,825 miles) odometer reading at cataloguing time. Reflecting the car’s enduring appeal to enthusiasts of all tastes, chassis 12598 was prominently featured in a 2019 documentary short for CNN Business, which hailed the Countach as the “definitive Italian supercar.” Carefully maintained to ensure its performance matches its striking form, this long-cherished Lamborghini Countach 5000 S eagerly awaits its next chapter with a fortunate new custodian. 1983 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S by Bertone RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1957-bmw-503-2
THE BMW 503 At the end of WW2, BMW was in a much worse state than Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart because one of its major plants – the old Dixi works at Eisenach in Saxony - was within the Russian Zone and would soon be cut off from the West behind the 'Iron Curtain'. Nevertheless, BMW recommenced car production in 1952 with the introduction of the 501 luxury saloon, a bullish choice for an impoverished country still recovering from the ravages of war. The 501 had been announced in 1951 and first appeared with a development of the company's pre-war six-cylinder engine before gaining a much needed performance boost, in the form of a 2.6-liter V8, in 1954. Designed by Alfred Böning, this new power unit had been inspired by American V8s but was constructed entirely of aluminum rather than cast iron. Towards the end of 1955 a 3.2-liter version was introduced and the big saloon's model designation changed to '502'. Clearly, this new state-of-the-art V8 had considerable potential as a sports car engine. Sales Director Hanns Grewenig had been pressing for a V8-engined sports car for some time but it was not until Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300SL that the project was given the green light. BMW was encouraged by Austrian-born entrepreneur Max Hoffman, at that time the US importer of various European makes, who knew just the man to style the car: Count Albrecht von Goertz, an independent industrial designer who had worked for the legendary Raymond Loewy on the latter's trend-setting Studebakers. Designer of everything from fountain pens to furniture, Goertz had never before styled an entire car and would not work for BMW again until the 1980s. Goertz was commissioned to produce two different designs, a Coupe and a Cabriolet, both of which debuted in prototype form at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show. With its long bonnet, 2+2 seating and generously sized boot, the 503 looked every inch the elegant Grand Routier. Even Pinin Farina was impressed, declaring it to be the most beautiful car in the show. Bertone was appointed to manufacture the handcrafted aluminum Cabriolet bodies, and the 503 Cabriolet became the first German Cabriolet with electrically operated top and windows. BMW high-performance, V8-engined cars of the 1950s attracted a wealthy, discerning clientele, including some very well known names from the motor sport world. Expensive and exclusive, 503s were built to an extremely high quality, and only 206 Coupes and 129 Cabriolets were produced between 1956 and 1960. According to the Certificate of Authenticity issued by BMW Classic for this 503, this elegant Cabriolet was completed at the Munich plant in May of 1957, finished in Papyros White, fitted with a Becker Mexico radio, and delivered to the first owner through legendary racing driver and automobile distributor, Autohaus Wilhelm Glöckler of Frankfurt, Germany. The sporting Cabriolet remained in Germany for some time, before being exported to the US. By the 1990s, the 503 had become part of the well-known Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California, and remained there until purchased by Robert Pond of Palm Springs. California. The BMW is reported to have been in remarkably original condition at this point. While in Mr. Pond's impressive collection, the 503 was treated to a comprehensive restoration that included a re-paint, re-trim of the interior and numerous mechanical refurbishments. The 503 was later purchased by Connecticut-based enthusiast, Michael Schudroff, before being acquired by the Indigo Collection in 2009. While under their stewardship, the elegant Cabriolet was treated to a mechanical refurbishment by RM Restorations and tastefully upgraded with period-correct Rudge wheels. It was then acquired by Ronald Lauder, heir to the conglomerate Estee Lauder Corporation. In 2025 it was submitted to a thorough detailing from top to bottom including a Dry Ice detailing of the chassis and engine bay and paint touch ups to the trunk area. Well sorted, and extraordinarily well presented, this rare 503 Cabriolet must be one of the finest examples in existence today. It offers its next owner exquisite styling, super performance and sophisticated German engineering in a very usable open top Grand Tourer package, eligible for the finest driving and Concours events worldwide. 1957 BMW 503 Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1970-lamborghini-400-gt-espada-series-2
The Lamborghini Espada is a four-seater coupé. It was built by Lamborghini from 1968 to 1978. In the Espada, Lamborghini combined its twelve-cylinder engine with an elongated fastback body, which is considered a milestone in automotive design. Known internally as the Tipo 108, the Espada was the fourth model from the brand founded in 1963, following the 350 GT/400 GT, the Islero and the Miura. As the first fully four-seater Gran Turismo, it was the result of Ferruccio Lamborghini's efforts to offer a wide range of models. The Espada's body was designed by Bertone. The executive designer was Marcello Gandini. As the Espada was launched in the same year as the Islero, the technology of both models is largely identical. During its ten-year production run, the Espada underwent a number of changes. A total of three different series were produced. These were the S1 (1968–1970), the S2 (1970–1972) and the S3 (1972–1978). Each generation was given an improved engine. The second series now delivered 350 hp instead of 325 hp and also received a number of other innovations: the interior, which was still rather futuristic in the S1, was smoothed and simplified, the underbody was lowered slightly to increase headroom, and power steering was also available as an option. In the third series, the beautiful centre-lock wheels were replaced by conventional five-bolt wheels, the interior was redesigned again and, from 1974, a 3-speed automatic transmission from Chrysler could be ordered. The Lamborghini Espada offered here is a second series vehicle with Campagnolo centre-lock wheels and air conditioning. According to the Lamborghini registry, chassis #7927 was delivered to Garage Foitek in Zurich on 10 July 1970. At that time, it was in the colour ‘Verde Pallido Metallizzato’ with an interior in ‘Verde Scuro’ and was first registered on 15 July. After several years in the canton of Graubünden, the coupé moved to the canton of Zurich, where the body was restored in 2002 and repainted in its current red colour. The interior was matched to the exterior colour with black leather and red carpets. Shortly afterwards, the then owner left Switzerland and parked the Lamborghini at a friend's house. After around eight years of standing idle, the family-friendly Italian car was awakened from its slumber in 2011 and carefully put back into service. After a brief change of ownership in 2015, the Espada was taken over by the consignor in September 2017 and integrated into his collection. During the next two years, he had the car technically and visually refurbished in his workshop. The brake system and shock absorbers were overhauled, the air conditioning system was serviced, the entire mechanics were checked and, where necessary, overhauled, and the wheels were repainted and fitted with a set of new tyres. After completion, the Lamborghini spent most of its time in the owner's air-conditioned hall. In the last six years, only around 1’000 km have been covered with the Grand Tourismo – which is also the reason why it is now being sold. The Espada is currently in good to very good condition. The matching-numbers engine runs well and the gearbox shifts crisply. The interior is well maintained and the bodywork is beautiful and healthy, except for a small dent with paint chipping on the rear right. The most recent veteran MOT was completed in September 2025 – so the Lamborghini can be registered and enjoyed immediately. 1970 Lamborghini 400 GT Espada Series 2 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1991 Ferrari 348 TB
Most fans consider the F40 to be the best Ferrari of all time, among other reasons because it was the last Ferrari that Don Enzo saw while he was alive. But few remember that the 348 was already in development when Il Commendatore was still alive.

- 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II Roadster
Highlights of this GT40 Roadster Historically accurate roadster constructed by Lee Holman FIA eligible 7-liter with potential acceptance to world class events A superb GT40 proven with video track footage taken at Lime Rock History of the GT40 The 1960s was one of the most impressive decades of sports car performance engineering. Racing and production sports car development shared significant advances benefiting greatly from the overlap between advancing aerospace technology, material sciences, and horsepower wars. Conceived and developed by a Who’s Who of motorsports engineering, the GT40 has become an American performance dreamscape, one that defines this extraordinary convergence of engineering, competition, and courage. The origin of the GT40 is framed by Ford’s advances to Ferrari for a potential company purchase. After spending millions of dollars to investigate the financial health of Ferrari, Ford quickly learned of the challenges dealing with Enzo Ferrari. As negotiations advanced, CEO Henry Ford II was stunned when Ferrari pulled out of negotiations. The infuriated “Hank the Deuce” vowed to beat Ferrari at his own game, setting his sights and formidable resources on racing. After initial development in 1963, the first GT40 Mk I was completed in 1964, but arrived with less than promising results. Later that year, Ford delivered the project to Shelby American who would gradually improve the cars, refine the chassis, and begin establishing the GT40 as a force to be reckoned with. Eventually the more robust and highly capable Mk II would introduce the impressive Ford FE 427 big-block V8 mated to a T44 4-speed. The Mk II would rise to prominence, culminating in the 1, 2, 3 Le Mans photo finish that would captivate the world, becoming the subject of the award winning contemporary major motion picture film “Ford vs Ferrari”. In addition to the Le Mans sweep, the GT40 would bring Ford the 1966 Manufacturers Championship. With significant differences in construction and performance, both the Mk I and Mk II occupy important places in the history of the GT40. However, the Mk II is considered the premier engineering example brought together by Carroll Shelby, Holman & Moody, Ken Miles, and a host of exceptionally talented team members, all of whom contributed to the success and legacy of these cars. The 427 powered Mk II not only allowed for 200+mph speeds at Mulsanne, the power and durability of the engine, 427 power handled by the Ford-developed T44 transaxle, robust monocoque structure, and larger brakes elevated the Mk II to the legendary winning status that built their vaulted worldwide reputation. Holman & Moody History and Build Specifications As the FIA manufacturer of record for GT40 Mk II cars, Holman & Moody remains today the only source for an accurate original build of the Le Mans winning GT40 Mk II. Today a genuine GT40 Mk II captures a rightfully important place in the pantheon of premier collector vehicles. And while a handful of contemporary shops offer kits that replicate approximate dimensions and performance of the original Mk I cars, only one company has the name, history, tooling, precise records, blueprints, and historic fabrication experience to faithfully construct a genuine race-ready continuation of the original GT 40 Mk II – Holman & Moody of Charlotte, NC. Operating today as an ongoing force in motorsports excellence, Lee Holman has continued the legacy of his father and partner developing the most accurate GT40, an FIA approved Mk II of precise specifications. Constructed using the original blueprints for these ground-breaking cars, Holman’s cars use chassis fabricated by Tennent Panels, UK, the official supplier of GT 40 Mk II chassis at the close of the GT40 program. and the original forming bucks to build the chassis for these specialized cars. Uninterested in building a copy or replica, every effort has been made to assemble the most original Mk II possible. When the owner of this car commissioned the build a few years ago, Lee Holman, at 6’ 2”, wanted to improve the fit of his personally configured GT40. With Holman evaluating internal construction plans for a roadster, he suggested the roadster configuration for this build. Originally built as an experiment in lightweight construction, the Mk II roadster that was built in period, has not survived. This car is an exact continuation of that car, enhanced with only safety-related improvements. Construction of this Mk II roadster was performed at Holman over a period of over a year as Lee Holman, Jim Rose and other team members who were personally involved in the original GT40 build team crafted this car. Having retained an original and uniquely formed GT40 roadster windshield when Holman & Moody were building the five original GT40 roadsters, Lee Holman offered to build this first and only GT40 Mk II continuation roadster. As the first Mk II roadster was constructed using alloy panels for some of the structure, these riveted alloy panels quickly weakened under the rigors of Sebring competition. In this build, steel panels were used to form a safer and more durable monocoque structure. In addition to the Tennent Panels construction using original Ford jigs and tooling, the pressed steel monocoque structure was formed to specifications at Holman & Moody by Jimmy Tucker and Jim Rose, both of whom were members of the racing team for Ford at Le Mans. Further improvements were engineered into this roadster design including a full B column and chromoly bar fitted to the side and back edges of the windshield. Two removable side bars were also installed, linking the windshield structure to the rear brace. This closed roll bar construction allows acceptance to racetracks that require full roll bar protection and improves overall structural rigidity under the stresses of racing. Additional features further included relocation of a 1967 spec. dry sump oil tank now installed behind the driver instead of over the driver’s feet. Like many components on this car, the oil system itself is bespoke in detail consisting of a magnesium cast oil pan with gear-driven scavenge pumps inside the crankcase and Mk II B style aluminum rear oil tank. This example was completed in 2020 and is outfitted with a host of exceptional features including a Jimmy Tucker built FE 427 medium riser cast iron block with aluminum heads and intake, single Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and dry sump oiling system, linked to a magnesium case Holman-Moody Kar-Kraft T-44 4-Speed transaxle. In addition to the numerous construction details surrounding this car, the build consists of Halibrand magnesium wheels with knock off hubs, and 2.260” stainless-steel “bundle of snakes” headers. The independent double wishbone front suspension, anti-roll bar, adjustable shocks with coil over springs and double trailing arm rear suspension are identical to the original GT40s Mk II and use cast magnesium uprights at all four corners. Front and rear Girling CR type calipers and 11.56” ventilated disc brakes with Girling master, Aeroquip lines and fittings, are also interchangeable with original GT40 Holman & Moody cars. The fuel delivery system consists of two fuel cells, each with its own fuel pump. The overall development, refinement, and absolute adherence to the original design with further improvement for added safety and durability come together in a stunning presentation worthy of the GT40 legacy, the legends that created it, and the heroes that raced these great cars to victory. General Overview Presenting with test mileage only and beautiful factory original finishes. This GT40 roadster is exceptional at every level. Finished in gleaming red and white livery, reflective of the original Sebring roadster, no longer in existence, the white rocker panel stripes and #1 roundels depict the first roadster as it was when it won the 1966 Sebring race. The superbly crafted body panels feature all the hallmark GT40 Mk II features including NACA ducts, rear scoops, and side intake scoops. The glass, lenses, and exterior body trim are all in excellent cosmetic condition. There are no chips or scratches in the expansive wrap-around windshield, a unique and original unit specially constructed in the 1960s only for the roadster design. Fit and finish for the body panels is excellent throughout with exceptional stance and perfect wheel and tire fit. The Halibrand 8 x 15 rear and 6 x 15 front wheels feature center hub knock offs and Goodyear Blue Streak Sport Car Special tires. The total visual package delivers a menacing presence, finished off by a polished aluminum airfoil, in place for added high speed stability. Stepping up to the driver’s door, the latch is easily accessed as the door swings open. In roadster configuration, the ease of entrance is greatly appreciated as the driver and passenger slip into the cockpit. The removable steering wheel further improves ingress and egress. The seating position has been improved significantly under 6’ 2” Lee Holman’s direction inviting owners of taller stature to enjoy the magic of these cars. The interior displays historically accurate finishes including ventilated seats, displaying the now iconic brass grommet ventilation holes, which are historically accurate. The current seats also are padded to provide a more upright driving position since the original laid-back position is no longer required by a low roof. The.race-specification dashboard, internal build details, exposed rivet construction, offside gear selector, correctly labeled toggle switches, correct instrumentation, and Sparco multi-point seat harnesses all convey the power and performance of this rare roadster. Lifting the hinged clamshell rear deck, the ground-breaking 427 V8 engine is a feast for the eyes. Though it’s difficult to decide where to look first, the warmly hued stainless-steel bundle-of-snakes exhaust commands your attention, exiting just under the aluminum heads, rising to gather over the T-44 magnesium case gearbox. The massive rear tires, exposed coil-over suspension, flanking twin pumps and Holman & Moody 427 branded valve covers deliver a satisfying narrative celebrating the historic excellence of these great cars. The removable front cover reveals a clean and tidy forward bulkhead containing a FireSense fire bottle feeding the fire suppression system plumbed throughout the car. The entire front section can also be removed which reveals twin electric cooling fans. Fluidyne High Performance radiator, and internal air ducting. The sophisticated engineering and artful construction are evident in every weld line, rivet, and carefully placed lightening hole – true to the original in every respect. The undercarriage displays evidence of the original construction methods employed to create the sophisticated welded steel monocoque. Suspension and various exposed components are further in excellent condition including the cast magnesium oil pan, magnesium cast gearbox, sophisticated suspension uprights, half shafts, coil-over shock absorbers, and Girling disc brakes. The car starts easily, setting off a raucous V8 sound that goes straight to the soul of any motorsport’s enthusiast. Once warmed, the settled idle lopes in waiting, eager for higher revs and track action. Seating position is excellent with great forward visibility and command over the mid-engine layout. As use is primarily focused on racing venues, power comes on immediately as an unforgettable rush of 427 power vaults you forward. It’s hard to imagine how even masterful drivers might have commanded such power at full tilt, subjected to hours of racing, but this is one of many reasons why nearly all these great drivers are known as heroes of this era. This rare and amazing Holman constructed GT40 Mk II roadster is offered with a car cover and bag, removable roof side roll bar connectors, and a plaque for display by the current owner when presented at The Quail, Monterey, CA. One of the most sought-after collectible premium supercars in the history of modern competition motorsports, this GT40 Mk II roadster offers enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience every aspect of the original construction without the costs, frailties, and concerns associated with museum artifacts. With original GT40 examples now multi-million-dollar icons, this rare example is ready to deliver exceptional performance and provenance. Hand fabricated by members of the original GT40 Mk II build team, with single commissioned ownership, this is a rare opportunity to own a very special vehicle, one that continues the legendary legacy of the incomparable GT40 and the courageous engineers and builders that made history with these exceptional cars. 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II Roadster Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Today a genuine GT40 Mk II captures a rightfully important place in the pantheon of premier collector vehicles. And while a handful of contemporary shops offer kits that replicate approximate dimensions and performance of the original Mk I cars, only one company has the name, history, tooling, precise records, blueprints, and historic fabrication experience to faithfully construct a genuine race-ready continuation of the original GT 40 Mk II – Holman & Moody of Charlotte, NC. Operating today as an ongoing force in motorsports excellence, Lee Holman has continued the legacy of his father and partner developing the most accurate GT40, an FIA approved Mk II of precise specifications. Constructed using the original blueprints for these ground-breaking cars, Holman’s cars use chassis fabricated by Tennent Panels, UK, the official supplier of GT 40 Mk II chassis at the close of the GT40 program. and the original forming bucks to build the chassis for these specialized cars. Uninterested in building a copy or replica, every effort has been made to assemble the most original Mk II possible. When the owner of this car commissioned the build a few years ago, Lee Holman, at 6’ 2”, wanted to improve the fit of his personally configured GT40. With Holman evaluating internal construction plans for a roadster, he suggested the roadster configuration for this build. Originally built as an experiment in lightweight construction, the Mk II roadster that was built in period, has not survived. This car is an exact continuation of that car, enhanced with only safety-related improvements. Construction of this Mk II roadster was performed at Holman over a period of over a year as Lee Holman, Jim Rose and other team members who were personally involved in the original GT40 build team crafted this car. Having retained an original and uniquely formed GT40 roadster windshield when Holman & Moody were building the five original GT40 roadsters, Lee Holman offered to build this first and only GT40 Mk II continuation roadster. As the first Mk II roadster was constructed using alloy panels for some of the structure, these riveted alloy panels quickly weakened under the rigors of Sebring competition. In this build, steel panels were used to form a safer and more durable monocoque structure. In addition to the Tennent Panels construction using original Ford jigs and tooling, the pressed steel monocoque structure was formed to specifications at Holman & Moody by Jimmy Tucker and Jim Rose, both of whom were members of the racing team for Ford at Le Mans. Further improvements were engineered into this roadster design including a full B column and chromoly bar fitted to the side and back edges of the windshield. Two removable side bars were also installed, linking the windshield structure to the rear brace. This closed roll bar construction allows acceptance to racetracks that require full roll bar protection and improves overall structural rigidity under the stresses of racing. Additional features further included relocation of a 1967 spec. dry sump oil tank now installed behind the driver instead of over the driver’s feet. Like many components on this car, the oil system itself is bespoke in detail consisting of a magnesium cast oil pan with gear-driven scavenge pumps inside the crankcase and Mk II B style aluminum rear oil tank. This example was completed in 2020 and is outfitted with a host of exceptional features including a Jimmy Tucker built FE 427 medium riser cast iron block with aluminum heads and intake, single Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and dry sump oiling system, linked to a magnesium case Holman-Moody Kar-Kraft T-44 4-Speed transaxle. In addition to the numerous construction details surrounding this car, the build consists of Halibrand magnesium wheels with knock off hubs, and 2.260” stainless-steel “bundle of snakes” headers. The independent double wishbone front suspension, anti-roll bar, adjustable shocks with coil over springs and double trailing arm rear suspension are identical to the original GT40s Mk II and use cast magnesium uprights at all four corners. Front and rear Girling CR type calipers and 11.56” ventilated disc brakes with Girling master, Aeroquip lines and fittings, are also interchangeable with original GT40 Holman & Moody cars. The fuel delivery system consists of two fuel cells, each with its own fuel pump. The overall development, refinement, and absolute adherence to the original design with further improvement for added safety and durability come together in a stunning presentation worthy of the GT40 legacy, the legends that created it, and the heroes that raced these great cars to victory. General Overview Presenting with test mileage only and beautiful factory original finishes. This GT40 roadster is exceptional at every level. Finished in gleaming red and white livery, reflective of the original Sebring roadster, no longer in existence, the white rocker panel stripes and #1 roundels depict the first roadster as it was when it won the 1966 Sebring race. The superbly crafted body panels feature all the hallmark GT40 Mk II features including NACA ducts, rear scoops, and side intake scoops. The glass, lenses, and exterior body trim are all in excellent cosmetic condition. There are no chips or scratches in the expansive wrap-around windshield, a unique and original unit specially constructed in the 1960s only for the roadster design. Fit and finish for the body panels is excellent throughout with exceptional stance and perfect wheel and tire fit. The Halibrand 8 x 15 rear and 6 x 15 front wheels feature center hub knock offs and Goodyear Blue Streak Sport Car Special tires. The total visual package delivers a menacing presence, finished off by a polished aluminum airfoil, in place for added high speed stability. Stepping up to the driver’s door, the latch is easily accessed as the door swings open. In roadster configuration, the ease of entrance is greatly appreciated as the driver and passenger slip into the cockpit. The removable steering wheel further improves ingress and egress. The seating position has been improved significantly under 6’ 2” Lee Holman’s direction inviting owners of taller stature to enjoy the magic of these cars. The interior displays historically accurate finishes including ventilated seats, displaying the now iconic brass grommet ventilation holes, which are historically accurate. The current seats also are padded to provide a more upright driving position since the original laid-back position is no longer required by a low roof. The.race-specification dashboard, internal build details, exposed rivet construction, offside gear selector, correctly labeled toggle switches, correct instrumentation, and Sparco multi-point seat harnesses all convey the power and performance of this rare roadster. Lifting the hinged clamshell rear deck, the ground-breaking 427 V8 engine is a feast for the eyes. Though it’s difficult to decide where to look first, the warmly hued stainless-steel bundle-of-snakes exhaust commands your attention, exiting just under the aluminum heads, rising to gather over the T-44 magnesium case gearbox. The massive rear tires, exposed coil-over suspension, flanking twin pumps and Holman & Moody 427 branded valve covers deliver a satisfying narrative celebrating the historic excellence of these great cars. The removable front cover reveals a clean and tidy forward bulkhead containing a FireSense fire bottle feeding the fire suppression system plumbed throughout the car. The entire front section can also be removed which reveals twin electric cooling fans. Fluidyne High Performance radiator, and internal air ducting. The sophisticated engineering and artful construction are evident in every weld line, rivet, and carefully placed lightening hole – true to the original in every respect. The undercarriage displays evidence of the original construction methods employed to create the sophisticated welded steel monocoque. Suspension and various exposed components are further in excellent condition including the cast magnesium oil pan, magnesium cast gearbox, sophisticated suspension uprights, half shafts, coil-over shock absorbers, and Girling disc brakes. The car starts easily, setting off a raucous V8 sound that goes straight to the soul of any motorsport’s enthusiast. Once warmed, the settled idle lopes in waiting, eager for higher revs and track action. Seating position is excellent with great forward visibility and command over the mid-engine layout. As use is primarily focused on racing venues, power comes on immediately as an unforgettable rush of 427 power vaults you forward. It’s hard to imagine how even masterful drivers might have commanded such power at full tilt, subjected to hours of racing, but this is one of many reasons why nearly all these great drivers are known as heroes of this era. This rare and amazing Holman constructed GT40 Mk II roadster is offered with a car cover and bag, removable roof side roll bar connectors, and a plaque for display by the current owner when presented at The Quail, Monterey, CA. One of the most sought-after collectible premium supercars in the history of modern competition motorsports, this GT40 Mk II roadster offers enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience every aspect of the original construction without the costs, frailties, and concerns associated with museum artifacts. With original GT40 examples now multi-million-dollar icons, this rare example is ready to deliver exceptional performance and provenance. Hand fabricated by members of the original GT40 Mk II build team, with single commissioned ownership, this is a rare opportunity to own a very special vehicle, one that continues the legendary legacy of the incomparable GT40 and the courageous engineers and builders that made history with these exceptional cars.

- 1992-ford-escort-rs-cosworth
Stuart Turner, Head of Ford Motorsport Europe, together with Walter Hayes, were instrumental in the success of the Sierra Cosworth throughout the late 1980s. By 1990 however, the rally landscape was changing, with lighter, more compact cars emerging from Japanese manufacturers. Recognising this shift, Turner pushed for a new direction, persuading Ford’s decision makers to approve the Escort RS Cosworth programme despite initial resistance, not least as the standard Escort platform was front-wheel drive and production would need to be outsourced to Karmann in Germany. Two key factors ultimately secured approval: the need for a true ‘halo’ model within the Escort range, and the opportunity to utilise the proven four-wheel drive system from the Sierra Cosworth. Turner famously described the concept as a 'pizza' car, Sierra underpinnings with an Escort body. Early competition success quickly validated the idea, and Ford’s marketing machine ensured the RS Cosworth became one of the defining performance cars of the era. The Ford Escort RS Cosworth offered here was manufactured in October 1992, supplied new by John Grose Ford of Ipswich and first registered in November of the same year. As such, it is one of the original 2,500 homologation examples from the first year of production and is finished in Diamond White with a grey Polaris cloth interior, electric windows, sunroof and headlamp washers. It is understood that the first owner used the car sparingly, keeping it dry stored and maintained, largely by the supplying dealer. Our vendor acquired the RS in 2016 showing just 2,495 miles, at which point it had been recommissioned following a period of minimal use and remained a single-owner car. Since then, it has formed part of a carefully curated collection, stored in a purpose-built, temperature-controlled facility. Today the RS can only be described as beautifully preserved. The odometer currently indicates just 2,956 miles and the car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file including numerous invoices for maintenance, a collection of previous MOT Certificates supporting the low mileage and its current V5C registration document. Fresh to market for the first time in a decade, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a first-year Escort RS Cosworth, a model that played a key role in Ford’s success during a golden era of rallying, with just two owners and less than 3,000 miles. 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
