The Aston Martin DB 4 was presented at the London Motor Show in October 1958. It marked the beginning of the legendary era of the classic David Brown Aston Martins with Italian Touring design, which was further developed towards the DB 6. From 1958 to 1963, 1,185 DB 4 were manufactured, the last series V from October 1962. This car is one of only 136 DB 4 Vantage built. This vehicle was delivered in March 1963 by Brooklands Motors in England. In 1972 the DB 4 was sold to the USA and in 1990 it reached Japan via Australia. The car was extensively restored by an Aston Martin specialist. Later it became part of an important Aston Martin collection. This DB 4 features its original engine (“matching numbers”) and impresses with its beautiful part-restored condition. The Aston Martin DB 4 combines all the attributes that make a legendary sports car: beauty, speed, perfect craftmanship and rarity.

The halcyon days of Group C Are there any words more evocative to a motorsport buff than Group C? It was an endurance racing era for the free radicals – a loose framework of rules designed to encourage designers and engineers to push the technological envelope further than it had ever been pushed before. Group C harnessed the newfangled wizardry of ground effect, which manipulated the very air we breathe and pushed speeds to the boundaries of physics. Plucky privateers stood every chance of upsetting the major manufacturers. Grids and grandstands alike were bursting at the seams. And as a result of all of the above, every household brand name you could think of adorned the soap bar-shaped cars in a kaleidoscope of striking ways. It was motorsport at its most unadulterated and excessive. This was the 1980s, after all. The Sauber Mercedes C9 If Porsche dangled a carrot for the rest to chase in the formative years of Group C, Mercedes-Benz gobbled it up with the Sauber-built C9. The wedge-shaped hurricane-inducing Silver Arrow resulted from an unlikely marriage between Mercedes-Benz and Sauber, the tiny Zurich-based motorsport outfit founded by Peter Sauber. An evolution of the C8, the C9 was the result of a simple recipe but one which utilized the very best ingredients. An incredibly rigid monocoque chassis built from lightweight aluminium. Rear dampers mounted longitudinally so as to reduce the ride height and ergo the centre of gravity. A wind-cheating body with a complex maze of concealed dams, ducts and tunnels. And the pièce de resistance? The mighty five-litre twin-turbocharged two- and four-valve M118 and M119 Mercedes engines, specially built and tuned in Stuttgart. The engines were undoubtedly the C9s’ trump card. Despite producing as much as 800HP in qualifying specification, they revved to a relatively low 7,000rpm, thus reducing stress and increasing reliability and efficiency. The C9s were fast. Insanely fast. On the Mulsanne Straight during qualifying for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989, the C9 of Mauro Baldi, Kenny Acheson and Gianfranco Brancatelli clocked a scarcely believable 248mph. Nobody could touch the C9s during the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship. The Silver Arrows won eight of a possible nine races, missing out only at Dijon because of an issue with the Michelin tyres. Unusually, the 24 Hours of Le Mans was not a part of the top-flight endurance championship that year. But suffice to say, the C9s dominated in France, too, crossing the finish line first, second and fifth. This Sauber Mercedes C9 The Sauber Mercedes C9 we’re honoured to be offering for sale in chassis number ‘C9.87.01’, the very first example produced. There was to be no motor show tour or press drive for the radical new model, however. Duty called. Swiss-German pride was at stake! This C9 was earmarked for both the FIA World Sportscar Championship and the domestic German Supercup in 1987. For the top-flight international rounds, ‘C9.87.01’ raced under the semi-Works Kouros Racing Team banner. Sauber had secured a lucrative sponsorship brand from Kouros, a fragrance deal in the Yves Saint Laurent family, in addition to direct support from the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart. During the six races it contested in 1987, this C9 was driven predominantly by Mike Thackwell and Henri Pescarolo with the race number 61. Born in New Zealand, Thackwell was a versatile driver with a wealth of experience in sports cars and single-seaters, including Formula 1. Pescarolo is a man who needs no introduction. The undisputed godfather of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Frenchman has contested the endurance classic a staggering 33 times, winning outright on four occasion. Crucially, all four wins were scored before the 1987 season. Racing at the very highest level of international endurance racing, this Mercedes-powered C9 competed at the most history-steeped venues of the world: Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring and most significantly, Le Mans. At the Circuit de la Sarthe, Thackwell and Pescarolo were joined by the Japanese driver Hideki Okada. Ahead of the Le Mans weekend, the Saubers were reportedly the paddock’s dark-horse bets for victory. And those bets remained in great shape following qualifying – the numbers 62 and 61 Kouros Racing Team entries lining up seventh and eighth, respectively. Alas, Thackwell, Pescarolo and Okada’s race was thwarted by a transmission issue after 16 hours and 123 laps of running. For this car’s final event of 1987, the ADAC Bilstein Super Sprint at the Nürburgring, the Frenchman Jean-Louis Schlesser (nephew of the great Jo Schlesser) was invited to drive. It proved to be a stroke of genius on Sauber’s part. Against the likes of Hans-Joachim Stuck, Bob Wollek and Jochen Mass, Schlesser tore to an exquisite victory, crossing the line over 10 seconds ahead of Stuck’s Works-entered Porsche 962C. The 1988 season As Sauber’s Kouros sponsorship deal concluded at the end of the season and Mercedes’ top brass played a game of musical chairs in Stuttgart, so the team was rebranded Sauber Mercedes. If the Kouros Racing Team was a Works-assisted effort, Sauber Mercedes was an all-out factory assault. Mercedes even drafted in AEG-Olympia, the electronics giant it owned, as the title sponsor. The resulting circuit board-inspired livery for the C9s ranks, in our opinion, as one of the coolest of them all. With a new DTM programme anchored around its 190E 2.3-16 saloon kindled at the same time, Mercedes’ new management in Stuttgart clearly recognised the benefits motorsport could bring, both from a technological perspective and a commercial one. They only had to look at their next-door neighbours over at Porsche, who’d dominated the Group C formula with their 956/962 prototypes, to appreciate that. After his fantastic showing at the Nürburgring at the tail end of 1987, Jean Louis Schlesser was made a permanent fixture behind the wheel of ‘C9.87.01’. This Works C9’s FIA World Sportscar Championship duties were limited to practice sessions at Jerez, Jarama, Monza, Silverstone and Le Mans. For these vital knowledge-building sessions, Schlesser shared the car with Mauro Baldi, the Italian driver who’d famously go on the win the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1990 with Sauber Mercedes. Famously, he’d also win both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Focus for this car was instead given to the 1988 German Supercup championship, which Schlesser would tackle single-handedly. The season comprised five rounds: book-ending events at the Nürburgring and races at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz in between. Schlesser showed exceptional pace throughout the campaign, winning at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz. In finishing fifth in the finale in the Eifel mountains, he clinched outright victory in the championship – an incredible feat given the might of the opposition. With its work complete in Europe, there was one final event for ‘C9.87.01’ to contest: the 360km of Sandown Park in Australia – the curtain closer on the 1988 FIA World Sports-Prototype Championship (the Group C class of the FIA World Sportscar Championship). For the first and only time in its competition career, this C9 wore the race number of its Works sister car, 62. Its two drivers down under were Mauro Baldi and the Swedish Formula 1 legend (and 1997 Le Mans winner) Stefan Johansson. The duo finished second overall, ironically behind the man who’d written ‘C9.87.01’ into the history books: Jean Louis Schlesser. Post competitive life By no means were this car’s factory duties over, however. The year 1989 would see the introduction of the new Mercedes M119 engine, with its four valves per cylinder and aluminium cylinder heads. This chassis was the very first to be fitted with the ultimate-spec engine and was reportedly used for extensive test and development ahead of the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship, most likely in the hands of the great Jochen Mass. Owing to its significance as the very first C9 built, this car was honourably retired at the end of 1989 and retained by Peter Sauber in his personal collection/museum. ‘C9.87.01’ was refinished in the iconic silver livery in which the C9s dominated the 1989 season – an ode to the memory and success of Mercedes’ all-conquering Silver Arrows of the past. Resplendent in its silver gown, this car made one final public appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, as part of an exhibition showcasing the most famous cars to have won at Le Mans. A restoration of epic proportions ‘C9.87.01’ was acquired by its current owner directly from Peter Sauber in 2015. A discerning German collector with a keen sense of duty when it comes to preserving ultra-significant competition cars and sharing them with the world, he took the decision to comprehensively restore this Sauber Mercedes C9 with a view to creating a lightning-fast, bulletproof and incredibly safe Group C prototype with which to win the world’s greatest historic motorsport events around the world. Who better to explain the gravity of this exhaustive project than the founder of the company entrusted with carrying it out, Nigel Medcalf of the renowned UK-based race preparation specialist Moto Historics? “This was an enormous project which took us over two years to complete from start to finish. We worked to the client’s brief from the outset – he wanted a car which was safe, beautifully set up, reliable and accompanied by a comprehensive spares package. “To begin with we carefully and methodically disassembled the car, ordering and labelling every part, including the spares which were already with the car. Every component was then sent for crack testing. Once they were signed off, we realised we had a spare set of corners, so built them up as far as we could to establish if anything was missing. “We discovered there were two right-hand lower wishbones, for example, but no left-hand pieces, so we had a set fabricated. Likewise, we found that the front uprights were cracked, so we sent them away to be digitally scanned so we could refabricate them from aluminium. As with all the parts we fabricated for this Sauber Mercedes, and there were a lot, they were made to look identical to the period parts. Our mission was to build a car that a period Sauber mechanic could look at say was spot on. There were no compromises. “Next we removed the M119 engine which was in the car and gave it to our friends at INIT Racing to be stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Some of the guys at INIT formerly worked with Ilmor Engineering, which was responsible for building Mercedes’ Formula 1 engines during the McLaren-Mercedes era. As such, they had connections with the factory in Stuttgart and we were able to consult directly with Mercedes on a number of the C9’s particulars. “This proved especially useful when we decided to reverse engineer and build a complete replica of the engine based around a M119 block, crank and heads I had acquired. We machined everything to ensure the engine was identical to the original. The amount of work was mind-blowing – it took 18 months alone to complete and we had to go to great lengths to ensure everything was spot on. That meant building the oil pumps by hand, creating tooling to make silicon pipework and commissioning a company in Japan to refabricate the belts, which have a very specific tooth pattern. Likewise, so much went into the cylinder heads and the Nikasil-coated block. “The gearbox was stripped, inspected and rebuilt, including all the spare ratios. Once we got down to the tub, we engaged a company we know which specialises in aircraft crack testing to come and inspect it. Then there was the methodical period of putting everything back together, initially on the original corners with which the car arrived. There were so many headaches to overcome – take the wheel bearings, for example, which we had to refabricate and took eight months alone! “For ease of use with today’s technology, we switched the ECU from a Bosch to a MOTEC system. However, we fitted it inside replica Bosch casing and had wiring looms made identical to the originals. The entire electrical system is indistinguishable from a visual point of view, but incorporates modern – and therefore reliable – technology. Finally, remedial work was made to the bodywork and the fragile floors were replaced. For preservation of the chassis, we also fabricated our own centre floor plank. “We then conducted a number of wet and dry tests at Donington with Sam Hancock at the wheel. Once we were happy with the fundamental set-up of the car, we went to the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, where Sam was really quick. Once we’d signed off on the car in its original configuration, we installed the spare corners we’d built along with the new engine and any other spare parts so we could sign off on those as well. The spares package, including the engine, is conveniently stored and ordered in a number of bespoke flight cases we had made, which streamlines everything at the racetrack and maximises efficiency. In every respect, this Sauber Mercedes is now on the button and ready to go racing. It would be a pleasure to continue running and looking after this special car for the new owner.” 1987 Sauber-Mercedes C9 Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

And those bets remained in great shape following qualifying – the numbers 62 and 61 Kouros Racing Team entries lining up seventh and eighth, respectively. Alas, Thackwell, Pescarolo and Okada’s race was thwarted by a transmission issue after 16 hours and 123 laps of running. For this car’s final event of 1987, the ADAC Bilstein Super Sprint at the Nürburgring, the Frenchman Jean-Louis Schlesser (nephew of the great Jo Schlesser) was invited to drive. It proved to be a stroke of genius on Sauber’s part. Against the likes of Hans-Joachim Stuck, Bob Wollek and Jochen Mass, Schlesser tore to an exquisite victory, crossing the line over 10 seconds ahead of Stuck’s Works-entered Porsche 962C. The 1988 season As Sauber’s Kouros sponsorship deal concluded at the end of the season and Mercedes’ top brass played a game of musical chairs in Stuttgart, so the team was rebranded Sauber Mercedes. If the Kouros Racing Team was a Works-assisted effort, Sauber Mercedes was an all-out factory assault. Mercedes even drafted in AEG-Olympia, the electronics giant it owned, as the title sponsor. The resulting circuit board-inspired livery for the C9s ranks, in our opinion, as one of the coolest of them all. With a new DTM programme anchored around its 190E 2.3-16 saloon kindled at the same time, Mercedes’ new management in Stuttgart clearly recognised the benefits motorsport could bring, both from a technological perspective and a commercial one. They only had to look at their next-door neighbours over at Porsche, who’d dominated the Group C formula with their 956/962 prototypes, to appreciate that. After his fantastic showing at the Nürburgring at the tail end of 1987, Jean Louis Schlesser was made a permanent fixture behind the wheel of ‘C9.87.01’. This Works C9’s FIA World Sportscar Championship duties were limited to practice sessions at Jerez, Jarama, Monza, Silverstone and Le Mans. For these vital knowledge-building sessions, Schlesser shared the car with Mauro Baldi, the Italian driver who’d famously go on the win the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1990 with Sauber Mercedes. Famously, he’d also win both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Focus for this car was instead given to the 1988 German Supercup championship, which Schlesser would tackle single-handedly. The season comprised five rounds: book-ending events at the Nürburgring and races at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz in between. Schlesser showed exceptional pace throughout the campaign, winning at Hockenheim, the Norisring and Diepholz. In finishing fifth in the finale in the Eifel mountains, he clinched outright victory in the championship – an incredible feat given the might of the opposition. With its work complete in Europe, there was one final event for ‘C9.87.01’ to contest: the 360km of Sandown Park in Australia – the curtain closer on the 1988 FIA World Sports-Prototype Championship (the Group C class of the FIA World Sportscar Championship). For the first and only time in its competition career, this C9 wore the race number of its Works sister car, 62. Its two drivers down under were Mauro Baldi and the Swedish Formula 1 legend (and 1997 Le Mans winner) Stefan Johansson. The duo finished second overall, ironically behind the man who’d written ‘C9.87.01’ into the history books: Jean Louis Schlesser. Post competitive life By no means were this car’s factory duties over, however. The year 1989 would see the introduction of the new Mercedes M119 engine, with its four valves per cylinder and aluminium cylinder heads. This chassis was the very first to be fitted with the ultimate-spec engine and was reportedly used for extensive test and development ahead of the 1989 FIA World Sportscar Championship, most likely in the hands of the great Jochen Mass. Owing to its significance as the very first C9 built, this car was honourably retired at the end of 1989 and retained by Peter Sauber in his personal collection/museum. ‘C9.87.01’ was refinished in the iconic silver livery in which the C9s dominated the 1989 season – an ode to the memory and success of Mercedes’ all-conquering Silver Arrows of the past. Resplendent in its silver gown, this car made one final public appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, as part of an exhibition showcasing the most famous cars to have won at Le Mans. A restoration of epic proportions ‘C9.87.01’ was acquired by its current owner directly from Peter Sauber in 2015. A discerning German collector with a keen sense of duty when it comes to preserving ultra-significant competition cars and sharing them with the world, he took the decision to comprehensively restore this Sauber Mercedes C9 with a view to creating a lightning-fast, bulletproof and incredibly safe Group C prototype with which to win the world’s greatest historic motorsport events around the world. Who better to explain the gravity of this exhaustive project than the founder of the company entrusted with carrying it out, Nigel Medcalf of the renowned UK-based race preparation specialist Moto Historics? “This was an enormous project which took us over two years to complete from start to finish. We worked to the client’s brief from the outset – he wanted a car which was safe, beautifully set up, reliable and accompanied by a comprehensive spares package. “To begin with we carefully and methodically disassembled the car, ordering and labelling every part, including the spares which were already with the car. Every component was then sent for crack testing. Once they were signed off, we realised we had a spare set of corners, so built them up as far as we could to establish if anything was missing. “We discovered there were two right-hand lower wishbones, for example, but no left-hand pieces, so we had a set fabricated. Likewise, we found that the front uprights were cracked, so we sent them away to be digitally scanned so we could refabricate them from aluminium. As with all the parts we fabricated for this Sauber Mercedes, and there were a lot, they were made to look identical to the period parts. Our mission was to build a car that a period Sauber mechanic could look at say was spot on. There were no compromises. “Next we removed the M119 engine which was in the car and gave it to our friends at INIT Racing to be stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Some of the guys at INIT formerly worked with Ilmor Engineering, which was responsible for building Mercedes’ Formula 1 engines during the McLaren-Mercedes era. As such, they had connections with the factory in Stuttgart and we were able to consult directly with Mercedes on a number of the C9’s particulars. “This proved especially useful when we decided to reverse engineer and build a complete replica of the engine based around a M119 block, crank and heads I had acquired. We machined everything to ensure the engine was identical to the original. The amount of work was mind-blowing – it took 18 months alone to complete and we had to go to great lengths to ensure everything was spot on. That meant building the oil pumps by hand, creating tooling to make silicon pipework and commissioning a company in Japan to refabricate the belts, which have a very specific tooth pattern. Likewise, so much went into the cylinder heads and the Nikasil-coated block. “The gearbox was stripped, inspected and rebuilt, including all the spare ratios. Once we got down to the tub, we engaged a company we know which specialises in aircraft crack testing to come and inspect it. Then there was the methodical period of putting everything back together, initially on the original corners with which the car arrived. There were so many headaches to overcome – take the wheel bearings, for example, which we had to refabricate and took eight months alone! “For ease of use with today’s technology, we switched the ECU from a Bosch to a MOTEC system. However, we fitted it inside replica Bosch casing and had wiring looms made identical to the originals. The entire electrical system is indistinguishable from a visual point of view, but incorporates modern – and therefore reliable – technology. Finally, remedial work was made to the bodywork and the fragile floors were replaced. For preservation of the chassis, we also fabricated our own centre floor plank. “We then conducted a number of wet and dry tests at Donington with Sam Hancock at the wheel. Once we were happy with the fundamental set-up of the car, we went to the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, where Sam was really quick. Once we’d signed off on the car in its original configuration, we installed the spare corners we’d built along with the new engine and any other spare parts so we could sign off on those as well. The spares package, including the engine, is conveniently stored and ordered in a number of bespoke flight cases we had made, which streamlines everything at the racetrack and maximises efficiency. In every respect, this Sauber Mercedes is now on the button and ready to go racing. It would be a pleasure to continue running and looking after this special car for the new owner.” Other Cars from Mouse Motors LLC 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-01.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-02.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-15.webp 1987-Sauber-Mercedes-C9-01.webp 1/15 1987 Sauber-Mercedes C9 Mouse Motors LLC United States 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-01.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-02.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-15.webp 1991-Jaguar-XJR-14-01.webp 1/15 1991 Jaguar XJR-14 Mouse Motors LLC United States 1989-Mazda-767B-01.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-02.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-10.webp 1989-Mazda-767B-01.webp 1/10 1989 Mazda 767B Mouse Motors LLC United States Last Featured Cars 1985-Ferrari-288-GTO-01.webp 1985-Ferrari-288-GTO-02.webp 1985-Ferrari-288-GTO-20.webp 1985-Ferrari-288-GTO-01.webp 1/20 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO RM Sotheby's Ontario 1961-Jaguar-XK150- 03.webp 1961-Jaguar-XK150-01.webp 1961-Jaguar-XK150-20.webp 1961-Jaguar-XK150- 03.webp 1/20 1961 Jaguar XK150 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH Germany 1963-Aston-Martin-DB4-01.webp 1963-Aston-Martin-DB4-02.webp 1963-Aston-Martin-DB4-20.webp 1963-Aston-Martin-DB4-01.webp 1/20 1963 Aston Martin DB4 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH Germany

When Jaguar unveiled the E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, the impact was nothing short of seismic. A surprise, first and foremost, because no prior information had filtered out regarding Coventry’s forthcoming Grand Touring car. But also because the E-Type’s silhouette instantly captivated the public. Penned under the guidance of William Lyons, combining a sporting chassis with genuine comfort and first-rate performance, the new Jaguar E-Type redefined expectations. Not to mention its astonishing price positioning at the time: three times cheaper than a Ferrari and fully twice as affordable as a Maserati… Since the end of the war, Jaguar had come to embody the very essence of British-style Grand Touring. The lineage of XK roadsters (from XK120 through XK150) played a major role in shaping this sporting image, reinforced by numerous victories in top-level competition. Yet, by the dawn of the 1960s, despite their undeniable qualities, the XK models could no longer conceal their age. Quietly and away from prying eyes, Coventry began work on their successor. Contemporary journalists were kept entirely in the dark, and the few perspective drawings released bore little resemblance to reality. On March 15th, at the Geneva Motor Show, journalists swarmed the Parc des Eaux-Vives, eager for a first glimpse of Coventry’s new star. Once inside the show itself, the E-Type caused a sensation. Praise was unanimous and ecstatic. Each appearance of a Jaguar E-Type on the street drew immediate crowds. Numerous celebrities and public figures rushed to place their orders: Françoise Sagan, Johnny Hallyday, Bernard Consten, Charles Trenet, Pierre Bardinon, Robert Hirsch, not to mention royalty. And beyond its breathtaking lines, the Jaguar E-Type could also boast a chassis that was remarkably advanced for its era… The design of the Jaguar E-Type is often attributed solely to Sir William Lyons. Yet, as with any automotive genesis, behind the figurehead stood a dedicated team working in the shadows. The actual author of the pencil stroke was Malcolm Sayer, an aerodynamicist from the aviation industry. Draped over a remarkably light tubular chassis, Sayer’s work endowed the E-Type with an immensely long, flat bonnet that quickly became central to its magnetic appeal. The clamshell bonnet opens fully forward, revealing the entire mechanical assembly. At the front, a small grille evokes a slightly parted mouth, suggestive and unmistakably sensual, flanked by twin round headlamps set beneath glass covers. The rear adopts a fastback profile, with the roofline flowing seamlessly into slender tail lamps. Glazing is framed by thin, elegant chrome-finished pillars, while the rear wings display pronounced, voluptuous curves. There is no denying the charm and femininity of this design. Interior finish is beyond reproach, and a generous luggage compartment made long-distance touring a very real proposition—precisely the vocation of a true GT. Jaguar owes so much to the XK engine that its story cannot be told without revisiting its origins. When the Jaguar XK120 roadster debuted at Earls Court in 1948, public reaction was immediate and overwhelming. Its name derived directly from its engine and performance: powered by the XK inline-six, the XK120 was capable of 120 mph. Originally a 3.4-litre unit with a cast-iron block and aluminium cylinder head, featuring twin overhead camshafts, it was truly advanced for its time. For the E-Type, Coventry installed a bored-out version of the XK engine, now displacing 3.8 litres (87 x 106 mm) and retaining its long-stroke character. The result was increased torque available from low revs. Factory figures quoted 265 SAE horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 35.9 mkg of torque at the same engine speed. Even today, the performance delivered by the 3.8-litre XK remains impressive: a top speed of 240 km/h and 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds. The chassis of the Jaguar E-Type received the utmost attention, with numerous solutions directly inspired by competition. For the new Coventry GT, chassis engineers Bob Knight and Norman Dewis devised a rear subframe independent of the monocoque, carrying the rear suspension, brakes and differential. This assembly was mounted to the body via V-shaped rubber mounts, isolating the cockpit from suspension-induced disturbances and road imperfections. At the front, the architecture was almost a direct carryover from the D-Type race car, featuring double wishbones, with the lower arm accommodating the forward end of the longitudinal torsion bar. To rein in its sharp-clawed feline, Jaguar adopted disc brakes on all four wheels, a technology proven at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1953 with the C-Type. A dual-circuit braking system was also fitted. With a kerb weight of just 1,220 kg, the E-Type enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio, fully justifying its status as a genuine sports car. Road holding was notably modern, but it was the comfort that truly surprised—foreshadowing Jaguar’s enduring reputation for chassis excellence. Unlike the D-Type, the E-Type was not initially conceived as a race car. Nevertheless, the factory supported several well-known privateers. Graham Hill, driving for Equipe Endeavour with chassis ECD400, and Roy Salvadori for John Coombs in BUY1, achieved notable successes in 1961 against the dominant Ferrari 250 GTs—despite competing with a road-based car against purpose-built racing machines. No Jaguar appeared at Le Mans in 1961. However, Coombs’ car was in fact a factory development vehicle, built with thinner-gauge steel monocoque panels. It reappeared at the start of the 1962 season as 4WPD, fitted with a wet-sump D-Type engine, improved brakes and suspension, and an aluminium hardtop. Destroyed during the Easter Monday Meeting at Goodwood, the car was rebuilt by the factory to what would become known as “Lightweight” specification. Subsequently, eleven additional Lightweight E-Type roadsters were produced, along with two coupés and around ten semi-lightweight cars. True Lightweight specification included a fully aluminium monocoque, a dry-sump 3.8-litre all-alloy engine with wide-angle D-Type cylinder head, Lucas mechanical fuel injection, a ZF five-speed gearbox, Mk IX disc brakes, aluminium hardtop, doors and boot lid, widened rear track with modified Mk X wishbones, anti-dive front suspension geometry, lowered steering rack, competition seats, and special Dunlop alloy wheels akin to those of the D-Type. Weight was reduced by some 270 kg, and with over 340 horsepower, the E-Type became a genuine rival to the Ferrari 250 GTO. Reliability issues, however, led to many alloy engines and ZF gearboxes being replaced by cast-iron Jaguar units and in-house transmissions. Ultimately, the factory never fully committed to the programme, and by 1964 it was over. The Lightweight arrived two years too late and was never sufficiently developed. Today, FIA-spec Jaguar E-Types compete successfully on circuits worldwide. Their sporting qualities make them formidable contenders, whether on the demanding special stages of the Tour Auto, the fiercely contested TT at Goodwood, or endurance races such as the Sixties’ Endurance and the Spa Six Hours. Assembled on March 7th, 1962, this Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster left the Coventry production line before being delivered on April 4th to the Jaguar distributor in New York. In its original configuration, as confirmed by its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, it was finished in elegant Opalescent Silver Blue, paired with a red leather interior and a dark blue hood—an exceptionally rare and refined combination. After crossing the Atlantic and returning to Europe, this E-Type embarked on an entirely different path. Far from remaining a mere collector’s roadster, it was destined to become a fully-fledged competition machine: sharper, faster, more radical, and immediately recognisable thanks to a distinctive livery setting it apart from the rest of the field. This transformation was driven by the vision and experience of French driver Jean-Pierre Lajournade. His career speaks volumes: competing from 1975 in the Renault Elf Gordini Cup, which he won in 1978, before progressing to Formula Renault with the Elf and Motul teams in 1980 and 1981. Following a successful professional career, he quickly established himself as a leading figure in historic racing, particularly at the Tour Auto, where his record includes three overall victories, five second places and one third place, alongside numerous ASAVE wins. Winner of the 2010 Tour Auto Optic 2000 at the wheel of his Lotus Elan 26R—against significantly more powerful rivals—Lajournade acquired the Jaguar presented here in 2013 from renowned British preparer Denis Welch. His objective was clear: to create the most accomplished semi-lightweight E-Type ever built. While semi-lightweight E-Type Roadsters are now well represented on historic grids, this very car paved the way, igniting enthusiasm and demonstrating the true competitive potential of the model at the highest level. Conceived from the outset as a true rally weapon, this E-Type was developed without compromise, with a relentless focus on performance and reliability—particularly for demanding events such as the Tour Auto. Its first owner envisaged a complete reengineering of every component, drawing on decades of rally experience to anticipate the specific demands of road competition while preserving circuit performance: mechanical endurance, dynamic balance over long distances, ease of maintenance and uncompromising robustness. The car thus became the first semi-lightweight Jaguar E-Type Roadster developed in France. It was equipped with a roll cage designed by Matter Compétition in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt. In accordance with regulations, the monocoque remains steel, while the body panels—bonnet, hardtop, boot lid and doors—are fabricated in aluminium. Leveraging its expertise, the Matter team optimised structural reinforcements to achieve rigidity perfectly suited to intensive competition use. Mechanical preparation was entrusted to Denis Welch, responsible for the engine, gearbox, differential and rear suspension. Final assembly was carried out by the team that has supported the driver for over thirty years, composed exclusively of former Renault F1 personnel—a guarantee of method, precision and reliability. In total, the transformation required over 440 hours of bodywork. Weight was reduced by 215 kg to 1,060 kg, while the six-cylinder engine now produces close to 380 horsepower, paired with a fully synchronised four-speed gearbox. Completed in February 2015, the project resulted in the only Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight conceived and built in France at that time. From its first outings, the established hierarchy was overturned. In April 2015, the car claimed outright victory at the Tour Auto Optic 2000, repeating the feat the following year ahead of Ludovic Caron’s AC Cobra. It went on to deliver front-running performances at the Grand Prix de l’Âge d’Or, Spa-Classic, Dix Mille Tours and the Grand Prix de Pau Historique. It thus became the first Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight to win the Tour Auto—and remains to this day the only one to have secured three overall victories, a testament to the perfection of its preparation. In 2023, the Jaguar was entrusted to another top-tier driver, Emmanuel Brigand. A former professional racer, he returned to historic competition with numerous French and European championship titles to his name. A multiple winner of the GHI category at the Tour Auto, his ambition is clear: overall VHC victory. The car was then taken over by Crubilé Sport in Gazeran. At the same time, Peter Auto adopted FIA international regulations allowing the replacement of the cast-iron engine block with an aluminium unit. The result: 37 kg saved over the front axle, lighter steering, sharper handling and a markedly more responsive car. The outcome was immediate—a third victory, secured with a commanding margin in Biarritz. Representing over €500,000 of development, this Jaguar is now accompanied by an FIA International HTP valid until December 31st, 2026. It has consistently demonstrated exceptional levels of performance and reliability. Delivered with several sets of wheels, two spare diff, and an extensive stock of parts, it allows entry into the most demanding events with a level of preparation rarely matched. Ready for the 2026 season, this Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight stands as one of the absolute benchmarks of historic competition—equally formidable on the circuit and perfectly equipped for the extreme demands of major road events. 1962 Jaguar Type-E Semi-Light Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The lineage of XK roadsters (from XK120 through XK150) played a major role in shaping this sporting image, reinforced by numerous victories in top-level competition. Yet, by the dawn of the 1960s, despite their undeniable qualities, the XK models could no longer conceal their age. Quietly and away from prying eyes, Coventry began work on their successor. Contemporary journalists were kept entirely in the dark, and the few perspective drawings released bore little resemblance to reality. On March 15th, at the Geneva Motor Show, journalists swarmed the Parc des Eaux-Vives, eager for a first glimpse of Coventry’s new star. Once inside the show itself, the E-Type caused a sensation. Praise was unanimous and ecstatic. Each appearance of a Jaguar E-Type on the street drew immediate crowds. Numerous celebrities and public figures rushed to place their orders: Françoise Sagan, Johnny Hallyday, Bernard Consten, Charles Trenet, Pierre Bardinon, Robert Hirsch, not to mention royalty. And beyond its breathtaking lines, the Jaguar E-Type could also boast a chassis that was remarkably advanced for its era… The design of the Jaguar E-Type is often attributed solely to Sir William Lyons. Yet, as with any automotive genesis, behind the figurehead stood a dedicated team working in the shadows. The actual author of the pencil stroke was Malcolm Sayer, an aerodynamicist from the aviation industry. Draped over a remarkably light tubular chassis, Sayer’s work endowed the E-Type with an immensely long, flat bonnet that quickly became central to its magnetic appeal. The clamshell bonnet opens fully forward, revealing the entire mechanical assembly. At the front, a small grille evokes a slightly parted mouth, suggestive and unmistakably sensual, flanked by twin round headlamps set beneath glass covers. The rear adopts a fastback profile, with the roofline flowing seamlessly into slender tail lamps. Glazing is framed by thin, elegant chrome-finished pillars, while the rear wings display pronounced, voluptuous curves. There is no denying the charm and femininity of this design. Interior finish is beyond reproach, and a generous luggage compartment made long-distance touring a very real proposition—precisely the vocation of a true GT. Jaguar owes so much to the XK engine that its story cannot be told without revisiting its origins. When the Jaguar XK120 roadster debuted at Earls Court in 1948, public reaction was immediate and overwhelming. Its name derived directly from its engine and performance: powered by the XK inline-six, the XK120 was capable of 120 mph. Originally a 3.4-litre unit with a cast-iron block and aluminium cylinder head, featuring twin overhead camshafts, it was truly advanced for its time. For the E-Type, Coventry installed a bored-out version of the XK engine, now displacing 3.8 litres (87 x 106 mm) and retaining its long-stroke character. The result was increased torque available from low revs. Factory figures quoted 265 SAE horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 35.9 mkg of torque at the same engine speed. Even today, the performance delivered by the 3.8-litre XK remains impressive: a top speed of 240 km/h and 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds. The chassis of the Jaguar E-Type received the utmost attention, with numerous solutions directly inspired by competition. For the new Coventry GT, chassis engineers Bob Knight and Norman Dewis devised a rear subframe independent of the monocoque, carrying the rear suspension, brakes and differential. This assembly was mounted to the body via V-shaped rubber mounts, isolating the cockpit from suspension-induced disturbances and road imperfections. At the front, the architecture was almost a direct carryover from the D-Type race car, featuring double wishbones, with the lower arm accommodating the forward end of the longitudinal torsion bar. To rein in its sharp-clawed feline, Jaguar adopted disc brakes on all four wheels, a technology proven at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1953 with the C-Type. A dual-circuit braking system was also fitted. With a kerb weight of just 1,220 kg, the E-Type enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio, fully justifying its status as a genuine sports car. Road holding was notably modern, but it was the comfort that truly surprised—foreshadowing Jaguar’s enduring reputation for chassis excellence. Unlike the D-Type, the E-Type was not initially conceived as a race car. Nevertheless, the factory supported several well-known privateers. Graham Hill, driving for Equipe Endeavour with chassis ECD400, and Roy Salvadori for John Coombs in BUY1, achieved notable successes in 1961 against the dominant Ferrari 250 GTs—despite competing with a road-based car against purpose-built racing machines. No Jaguar appeared at Le Mans in 1961. However, Coombs’ car was in fact a factory development vehicle, built with thinner-gauge steel monocoque panels. It reappeared at the start of the 1962 season as 4WPD, fitted with a wet-sump D-Type engine, improved brakes and suspension, and an aluminium hardtop. Destroyed during the Easter Monday Meeting at Goodwood, the car was rebuilt by the factory to what would become known as “Lightweight” specification. Subsequently, eleven additional Lightweight E-Type roadsters were produced, along with two coupés and around ten semi-lightweight cars. True Lightweight specification included a fully aluminium monocoque, a dry-sump 3.8-litre all-alloy engine with wide-angle D-Type cylinder head, Lucas mechanical fuel injection, a ZF five-speed gearbox, Mk IX disc brakes, aluminium hardtop, doors and boot lid, widened rear track with modified Mk X wishbones, anti-dive front suspension geometry, lowered steering rack, competition seats, and special Dunlop alloy wheels akin to those of the D-Type. Weight was reduced by some 270 kg, and with over 340 horsepower, the E-Type became a genuine rival to the Ferrari 250 GTO. Reliability issues, however, led to many alloy engines and ZF gearboxes being replaced by cast-iron Jaguar units and in-house transmissions. Ultimately, the factory never fully committed to the programme, and by 1964 it was over. The Lightweight arrived two years too late and was never sufficiently developed. Today, FIA-spec Jaguar E-Types compete successfully on circuits worldwide. Their sporting qualities make them formidable contenders, whether on the demanding special stages of the Tour Auto, the fiercely contested TT at Goodwood, or endurance races such as the Sixties’ Endurance and the Spa Six Hours. Assembled on March 7th, 1962, this Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster left the Coventry production line before being delivered on April 4th to the Jaguar distributor in New York. In its original configuration, as confirmed by its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, it was finished in elegant Opalescent Silver Blue, paired with a red leather interior and a dark blue hood—an exceptionally rare and refined combination. After crossing the Atlantic and returning to Europe, this E-Type embarked on an entirely different path. Far from remaining a mere collector’s roadster, it was destined to become a fully-fledged competition machine: sharper, faster, more radical, and immediately recognisable thanks to a distinctive livery setting it apart from the rest of the field. This transformation was driven by the vision and experience of French driver Jean-Pierre Lajournade. His career speaks volumes: competing from 1975 in the Renault Elf Gordini Cup, which he won in 1978, before progressing to Formula Renault with the Elf and Motul teams in 1980 and 1981. Following a successful professional career, he quickly established himself as a leading figure in historic racing, particularly at the Tour Auto, where his record includes three overall victories, five second places and one third place, alongside numerous ASAVE wins. Winner of the 2010 Tour Auto Optic 2000 at the wheel of his Lotus Elan 26R—against significantly more powerful rivals—Lajournade acquired the Jaguar presented here in 2013 from renowned British preparer Denis Welch. His objective was clear: to create the most accomplished semi-lightweight E-Type ever built. While semi-lightweight E-Type Roadsters are now well represented on historic grids, this very car paved the way, igniting enthusiasm and demonstrating the true competitive potential of the model at the highest level. Conceived from the outset as a true rally weapon, this E-Type was developed without compromise, with a relentless focus on performance and reliability—particularly for demanding events such as the Tour Auto. Its first owner envisaged a complete reengineering of every component, drawing on decades of rally experience to anticipate the specific demands of road competition while preserving circuit performance: mechanical endurance, dynamic balance over long distances, ease of maintenance and uncompromising robustness. The car thus became the first semi-lightweight Jaguar E-Type Roadster developed in France. It was equipped with a roll cage designed by Matter Compétition in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt. In accordance with regulations, the monocoque remains steel, while the body panels—bonnet, hardtop, boot lid and doors—are fabricated in aluminium. Leveraging its expertise, the Matter team optimised structural reinforcements to achieve rigidity perfectly suited to intensive competition use. Mechanical preparation was entrusted to Denis Welch, responsible for the engine, gearbox, differential and rear suspension. Final assembly was carried out by the team that has supported the driver for over thirty years, composed exclusively of former Renault F1 personnel—a guarantee of method, precision and reliability. In total, the transformation required over 440 hours of bodywork. Weight was reduced by 215 kg to 1,060 kg, while the six-cylinder engine now produces close to 380 horsepower, paired with a fully synchronised four-speed gearbox. Completed in February 2015, the project resulted in the only Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight conceived and built in France at that time. From its first outings, the established hierarchy was overturned. In April 2015, the car claimed outright victory at the Tour Auto Optic 2000, repeating the feat the following year ahead of Ludovic Caron’s AC Cobra. It went on to deliver front-running performances at the Grand Prix de l’Âge d’Or, Spa-Classic, Dix Mille Tours and the Grand Prix de Pau Historique. It thus became the first Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight to win the Tour Auto—and remains to this day the only one to have secured three overall victories, a testament to the perfection of its preparation. In 2023, the Jaguar was entrusted to another top-tier driver, Emmanuel Brigand. A former professional racer, he returned to historic competition with numerous French and European championship titles to his name. A multiple winner of the GHI category at the Tour Auto, his ambition is clear: overall VHC victory. The car was then taken over by Crubilé Sport in Gazeran. At the same time, Peter Auto adopted FIA international regulations allowing the replacement of the cast-iron engine block with an aluminium unit. The result: 37 kg saved over the front axle, lighter steering, sharper handling and a markedly more responsive car. The outcome was immediate—a third victory, secured with a commanding margin in Biarritz. Representing over €500,000 of development, this Jaguar is now accompanied by an FIA International HTP valid until December 31st, 2026. It has consistently demonstrated exceptional levels of performance and reliability. Delivered with several sets of wheels, two spare diff, and an extensive stock of parts, it allows entry into the most demanding events with a level of preparation rarely matched. Ready for the 2026 season, this Jaguar E-Type Roadster semi-lightweight stands as one of the absolute benchmarks of historic competition—equally formidable on the circuit and perfectly equipped for the extreme demands of major road events.

This 1991 Ferrari Mondial t Convertible is powered by the 3.4-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission. The car is finished in red with a black leather interior and has covered 43,279 kilometres. The Mondial t represents the final and most developed evolution of the Mondial range. With its increased 3.4-litre displacement and the introduction of a longitudinally mounted engine combined with a transverse gearbox, this version benefits from improved torque, smoother power delivery, and enhanced overall drivability compared to earlier Mondial variants. It retains the defining characteristics of the model, including its mid-engine layout and practical four-seat configuration. Blending Ferrari’s traditional V8 character with a more flexible and accessible power delivery, the Mondial t is well suited to varied use rather than purely focused performance driving. The manual gearbox remains central to the driving experience, offering direct mechanical engagement and driver involvement. This example presents in original specification and displays mileage consistent with careful ownership. As a later production model, it ranks among the most refined and technically advanced versions of the Mondial. The car is offered as part of the Carcave Belgium selection and is available for viewing by appointment. 1991 Ferrari Mondial Convertible Car Cave USA If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In 1966, Ferrari introduced a larger version of the Colombo twelve-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4.4 litres and a bore that was four millimetres larger than its predecessor. The displacement of a single cylinder was now approximately 365 cubic centimetres. This value became the basis for the model designations of the vehicles equipped with this engine. As a result of the increase in displacement, the engine power rose to 320 hp. The engine made its debut in 1966 in the 365 California Spyder, a luxury convertible produced in very limited numbers, which featured a distinctive, sensational body designed by Tom Tjaarda. In a second step, Ferrari presented the 365 GT 2+2 in 1967 as a 2+2-seater variant of the model family. This was Ferrari's first four-seater road sports car with rear independent suspension. Due to its size and weight, the 365 GT 2+2 was also referred to as the Queen Mary in the press. This Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 with the very special chassis number 12345 was probably delivered in Italy and imported to Switzerland very early on – according to the vehicle registration document, it was first registered on 1 June 1969. The early history of this sporty touring car is unknown until it was purchased by the consignor from the Beau Rivage garage in Lausanne in May 1991. The consignor used his Ferrari for occasional trips over the next 25 years and finally parked it in his garage at the end of 2016. In September 2025, the 365 was taken out of storage and carefully put back into service. The bodywork was probably repainted a few decades ago, and the paintwork shows some age-related cracks and chips. The interior is in good original condition with the usual patina – this, together with the available documentation, suggests that the 9’386 km shown on the odometer probably correspond to an actual mileage of 109’386 km. The matching-numbers engine runs well and the gearbox shifts correctly. Due to the long period of inactivity, a major service and thorough reconditioning will of course be necessary before the Ferrari can take to the roads of the world again. The last MOT was carried out in November 2013. 1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 Queen Mary Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The engine made its debut in 1966 in the 365 California Spyder, a luxury convertible produced in very limited numbers, which featured a distinctive, sensational body designed by Tom Tjaarda. In a second step, Ferrari presented the 365 GT 2+2 in 1967 as a 2+2-seater variant of the model family. This was Ferrari's first four-seater road sports car with rear independent suspension. Due to its size and weight, the 365 GT 2+2 was also referred to as the Queen Mary in the press. This Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 with the very special chassis number 12345 was probably delivered in Italy and imported to Switzerland very early on – according to the vehicle registration document, it was first registered on 1 June 1969. The early history of this sporty touring car is unknown until it was purchased by the consignor from the Beau Rivage garage in Lausanne in May 1991. The consignor used his Ferrari for occasional trips over the next 25 years and finally parked it in his garage at the end of 2016. In September 2025, the 365 was taken out of storage and carefully put back into service. The bodywork was probably repainted a few decades ago, and the paintwork shows some age-related cracks and chips. The interior is in good original condition with the usual patina – this, together with the available documentation, suggests that the 9’386 km shown on the odometer probably correspond to an actual mileage of 109’386 km. The matching-numbers engine runs well and the gearbox shifts correctly. Due to the long period of inactivity, a major service and thorough reconditioning will of course be necessary before the Ferrari can take to the roads of the world again. The last MOT was carried out in November 2013.

Expertly built by the Jordan Racing Team to FIA Group 2 specification, this impressive 1972 RS2600 is a 2023 Le Mans Classic class winner with FIA HTPs valid until 2029. Ford's ubiquitous Capri had a long list of options and engines, but it did not have a true performance version that could be developed sufficiently within the regulations to enable it to regularly be successful in the sales-enhancing world of International Saloon Car racing. A number of manufacturers faced the same problem and consequently, several of them began to develop what were to become known as 'Homologation Specials'. These were showroom saloons fully developed to be effective and competitive on the circuit but, in order to comply with the regulations that a certain number were available for sale to the public, usually 500, were finished fully trimmed and road-legal. So, in late 1969, work begun on a 'special RS Capri'- a full performance model aimed at potential success in the European Touring Car Championship and the resultant Capri RS2600 was developed at Ford’s Boreham competition department in England and built in Cologne. During March 1970, the RS2600 made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, albeit with a mock-up fuel injection system as it wasn't until September the same year that the first fully developed fuel injected RS2600 left the Niehl assembly line in Cologne. The RS was easily recognisable as it had no bumpers, two vents in the front panel and sported Richard Grant road wheels, - the lightweight versions of the car used Minilites - it also had a pair of rectangular wing badges reading RS2600 and an RS roundel on the boot lid. These cars had the front cross-member re-drilled for negative camber and were fitted with uprated brake pads and linings supplied by Ferodo, competition front springs, single-leaf rear springs and Bilstein shock absorbers all-round. Inside, as with the lightweights, Scheel sports seats were used though these were now reclining and the rear seats were of a bench design trimmed in the same heavy cord material. A Springall deep dish steering wheel was used, but there was no centre console, which was widely used on the Mk1 Capris. Production cars gained chrome quarter bumpers with the front ones incorporating the indicators, but the two vents in the front panel were now deleted and the wheels were now RS 4-spoke items similar in design to those of the Mk1 RS Escorts but 6 inches in width. Performance figures for the RS2600 were very impressive with 2,637cc producing 150bhp at 5,800rpm which was sufficient to propel the RS2600 from 0-62mph in 8.6secs and on to a top speed of 124mph, pretty impressive fifty years ago. Dating from November 1971, this is one of just 256 RS2600 examples originally exported to France, first taking to the road on 8 March 1972 and appears to have spent much of its life doing what it was designed to do. A proven and highly competitive race car, it has enjoyed significant success under current ownership, including an overall victory in the Equipe 70s series, and most notably a very impressive class win at the 2023 Le Mans Classic. With its FIA HTP valid until 2029, it is fully eligible to compete at the front of Peter Auto’s Heritage Touring Cup, Motor Racing Legends’ HTCC, and Equipe Classic Racing’s 1970s series. Expertly restored in 2018 to Group 2 competition specification by the Jordan Racing team, renowned for crafting some of the fastest and most technically accomplished historic racing cars, it boasts an INIT Racing–prepared Westlake V6 engine, a ZF close-ratio five-speed gearbox, and a Custom Cages FIA-approved roll-cage. Importantly, this particular example benefits from all the experience gained from being the third and final racing Capri prepared for the same owner and is, arguably, the most developed of the trio. Offered with its original French registration document and confirmed by RS Capri Club Registrar, Len Pierce, this RS2600 offers access to some of the very best historic motorsport. Its next custodian also has the opportunity for road re-registration, unlocking participation in iconic rallies such as Peter Auto’s Tour Auto and Modena Centro Ore, resulting in genuine historic touring car versatility. 1972 Ford Capri RS2600 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Sometimes you come across a car that makes you wonder if it's more of a chapter in the history of technology than a means of transportation. This Porsche 928 – built in 1978/model year 1979, from the era when Ingolstadt's slide rules and Stuttgart's engineering pride still joined forces – belongs precisely in this category. A Gran Turismo of almost museum-quality purity, yet one that is anything but a static display piece. This Porsche 928 – model year 1979, from the era when Porsche still used compasses and engineered with passion – is undoubtedly a truly remarkable car. Of the 3,009 examples built back then, perhaps only a few hundred are still on the road – and among them, probably none that has reached such an unusual stage of evolution as this one. Because this 928 has – if you'll excuse the expression – not just received a facelift, but a kind of mechanical rebirth. There's no other way to put it: no expense was spared, as if the task was to teleport a brand-new car backward through time. The engine? Completely overhauled, down to the last bearing, polished, measured, balanced – you could probably put it on a pedestal as a showpiece V8 and let the public admire it, if it weren't such a precious thing to do. The entire chassis? Rebuilt, with every single suspension component from A to Z. No worn bushings, no tired joints, not even a hint of creaking. Tires, brakes, clutch, electrics – all new, all reworked, all done with that certain obsession, and all over the last few years. With a passion that only people possess who are driven by something else entirely in life: perfection. But that's not all. While other 928s spend their days as well-maintained classics, this one has decided to expand its land-based lifestyle and embark on a second career – as a safari GT. Raised by a finely tuned KW coilover suspension, fitted with knobby tires, possessing the attitude of a marathon runner and the self-assurance of a desert camp commander, it stands there: wide, commanding, a touch audacious, and gloriously alone in the vast open landscape. You'd almost believe it's standing alone somewhere in the expansive terrain, holding its hand to its forehead to shield itself from the sun, assessing the situation, trying to figure out which direction to take next. In its other hand, a felt-covered canteen… A 928 that could not only drive from Paris to Dakar – but probably back again, simply because it can. Its uniqueness? Probably absolute. Because even if there were another raised 928 somewhere in the world – which is highly doubtful – it certainly wouldn't be in this technical condition. Without personally knowing all existing 928s, one can confidently say: finding a better-conditioned example of this nearly 50-year-old breed is virtually impossible. And one that also qualifies as a Safari GT is even more likely. In short: Anyone looking for a Porsche 928 that looks as fresh as a factory car just rolled off the assembly line yesterday – and at the same time is as exotic as a cactus in the tundra – is looking at their automotive jackpot. More photos coming soon. We highly recommend this 928 “Cross Touring” to those who – like us – are looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. 1978 Porsche 928 Cross Touring DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport was based on the Renault Clio Mark II, though it shares very few parts with that car. The 3.0-lire V-6 engine, sourced from the PSA group, was upgraded to around 230 horsepower and placed in the middle of the vehicle, where standard Clios have rear seats - making this car a two-seater hot hatch. The mid-engined, wide-body concept of the Clio V6 was very reminiscent of the 1980s Renault 5 Turbo. Both road going models were low volume production making them very rare cars. Alongside the road car, a circuit only version was produced, known as the Clio V6 Trophy. Designed by French automaker Renault, the Phase 1 models were built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) in Uddevalla, Sweden. The Phase 2 models were designed and hand built by Renault Sport in Dieppe, France. Both variants however were developed by TWR. A total production of 1.631 examples were built between 2001 and 2002. This Renault Clio V6 Phase 1 was originally delivered in The Netherlands. In 2018 the car was acquired by the last custodian and part of an important collection. The car was pampered and recent invoices for service work, new exhaust, brakes, distribution et cetera are present in the car's history file. The car comes with a valid road registration for The Netherlands and a new APK (like MOT/TUV/CT). 2001 Renault Clio Sport V6 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
