The post-war North American market was sometimes something of a mystery to European manufacturers, who relied on their local importers to keep them in touch with evolving tastes and new opportunities. Occasionally, these relationships spawned all-new models, such as the Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider. Luigi Chinetti was not alone in this regard: In New York, Austrian-born automotive importer Max Hoffman—who had introduced the American public to the likes of Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche—hatched a plan for BMW to produce an all-new sports car. Its suggested $5,000 ticket price would bring in new customers without affecting sales of the cheaper Porsche 356 and more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Unveiled in 1955 and entering production just over a year later, the 507 featured a shortened version of BMW’s 501-series chassis, with double wishbone and torsion bar front suspension, a Panhard rod-located live rear axle, and Alfin drum brakes at each corner. At its heart lay a 3.2-liter Type M507/1 engine—a jewel of a V-8 based on that of the 503 GT model that offered an improved 150 horsepower thanks to a higher-lift camshaft, revised ignition timing, and a higher compression ratio. Styling was led by fellow New York resident and close associate of Hoffman, Albrecht von Goertz, who penned an elegant, shark-like open design formed in aluminum and accented with lavish chrome fittings, that was aimed squarely at Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood set. More boulevardier than racer, performance on paper lagged that of its more expensive Teutonic rival both in terms of acceleration from rest and top speed. Nonetheless a spirited performer, the 507 was capable of reaching 60 mph in around 11 seconds with a top speed of around 125 mph—but it was the way it delivered that power that made it special. With torque in abundance, the BMW could comfortably outpace the 300 SL from 40-80 mph in top gear. By mid-1957, and after the production of just 34 retrospectively titled Series I cars, the 507 underwent revisions to improve cabin and boot space. In addition to offering greater room for driver, passenger, and their luggage, the Series II featured a reworked dashboard and a more discretely stowed fabric roof. With the changes came a higher asking price of $10,500—more than double Hoffman’s suggested retail figure. As a result of that eye-watering sum, the BMW 507 would remain one of the most exclusive and elusive sports cars of the era, with just 251 examples being built before production ended just three years after it had begun. CHASSIS 70171: IN DISTINGUISHED COMPANY Chassis 70171 is a fine example of the more usable Series II 507 and possesses the wonderful provenance one expects from such an extravagant automobile of the 1950s. According to the BMW Birth Certificate on file and additional information provided by BMW Group Classic, this 507 Roadster was completed in September 1958 and, interestingly, was used as a showroom display model at dealerships in Mainz and Kassel, Germany, before being shipped to the United States. Originally ordered by a Mr. Eisman, it is believed he was ultimately unable to complete the purchase. As a result, Charles Frederick Offenhauser, nephew of legendary engineer Fred Offenhauser, is believed to claim the title of first owner, and further correspondence on file details the unfortunate story behind his court-mandated separation from the BMW. In the span of three weeks, Mr. Offenhauser was ticketed for speeding within a school zone—albeit only by two or three mph—by the same officer, at the same time of day, resulting in three separate infractions. Needless to say, the judge was unimpressed but mercifully decided not to suspend Offenhauser’s license. Instead, a single penalty was enforced on the agreement that the BMW 507 would no longer remain in his possession. Offenhauser reluctantly took the deal, and the roadster was sold to a friend of great distinction. Pierre Dewey LaFontaine Jr., professionally known as Pete Fountain, became a prominent clarinetist within the vibrant New Orleans jazz scene before founding the Basin Street Six in 1950. Over the course of his decorated career within the genre, LaFontaine would also perform with the Dukes of Dixieland, Al Hirt, and the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. At some point, LaFontaine and his wife Beverly developed a close relationship with Charles Offenhauser. Pierre greatly admired the BMW and, on several occasions, requested that Offenhauser sell him the car. Eventually, Offenhauser relented once faced with the legal realities before him, and the 507 Roadster luckily found a new trusted home with LaFontaine. While the correspondence on file mentions another individual had become the owner of the BMW by the early 1970s, the next confirmed caretaker of the vehicle, Terrance K. Knudsen of Wisconsin, is listed on a registration dated to 1994. Before the turn of the millennium, Melvin F. Wiess of New Jersey became the next owner and would cherish the 507 Roadster for the next two decades. Under his stewardship, a restoration is believed to have been performed on the vehicle, and the exterior was refinished to its factory-correct color, Papyrus White, at that time. Thanks to careful ownership over the years, this work aimed to improve an already intact automobile, and correspondence from BMW Group Classic confirms the engine to be the matching-numbers unit. Additionally, the roadster is fitted with an attractive set of Rudge wheels and the dashboard is furnished with a lovely Becker Mexico radio. Lastly, both the hood and trunk lid bear stampings “127” indicating they are a potentially matching pair. Complementing the exceptional cosmetic quality of the BMW, the engine was treated to a roughly 10-month rebuild by the respected craftsmen at Motion Products Inc. of Neenah, Wisconsin, between 2023–2024. Totaling nearly $80,000 according to the invoices on file, the comprehensive project additionally included a clutch replacement, and the BMW continues to perform in sound mechanical shape. Under current ownership, a new set of period-accurate Pirelli Cinturatos were fitted to all four corners in 2024, and the hardtop received a coat of dark blue paint to complement the interior. Further adding to the desirability of this gorgeous automobile, a large collection of documentation provides a robust picture of the car’s history through past registrations, insurance paperwork, and the aforementioned correspondence. Highlights include Mel Weiss’ business card with LaFontaine’s autograph on the back side, and a collection of additional materials related to the jazz legend including the oldest known photo of this BMW 507 Roadster. A rare set of owner’s books and a tool kit round off the accompanying items. The BMW 507 Roadster is among the most glamorous automotive creations of all time. Chassis 70171, offered with exceptional provenance, is now ready to star as part of a new collection. 1958 BMW 507 Series II RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Delivered new in 1965, this Ferrari 275 GTB, fitted with the favourable six-carburettor setup, is one of only 11 RHD examples to ever leave the Maranello. The car was ordered by a VIP client of Ferrari, Dr Wilkins, better known as Dick Wilkins, who owned an impressive array from the Maranello marque including a P4, 250TR and, in partnership with Rob Walker, the 250 SWB driven by none other than Stirling Moss, which he owned at the time Moss won the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1960. When Dr Wilkins ordered this car, the car was built to the ultimate specification, which most importantly meant fitting the six-carburettor setup. The original specification chosen was Rosso Chiaro exterior paint over a black leather interior with grey carpets and headlining. Additional factory optional extras included full leather seats and Borrani wire wheels. The car went on to later be acquired by Mr D.A. Harrison, owner of D.A. Harrison and Company, of Wigton, Cumbria, a gentleman in the haulage and storage industry. The 275 was then purchased by a MR C.W. MacDowall of Ingatestone who proceeded to place the registration of ’27 WY’ on the car. Later on, in 1972 the car was then sold to musician, songwriter, record producer and known Ferrari enthusiast Mr Eric M. Stewart, of Tadworth, Surrey, best known as the lead vocalist for pop groups The Mindbenders and 10cc. Eric also owned a RHD 275 GTB/4, a RHD 250 SWB and, most notably, a 250 LM. This 275, like Eric’s entire Ferrari collection, was maintained without regard to cost by Graypaul Motors in Loughborough. In late 1977, the car was exported and sold to successful industrialist Mr Elliott R. Coyle, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, USA. An avid collector of fine English guns and exotic cars, Mr Coyle owned the car for over four years, until 1982, when it was purchased by a Mr Dave Becker who went on to own the car for the next 21 years. After this period of ownership, the car was then brought back to the UK in August of 2013. Shortly after, the car was then sent back to Modena where it underwent a full nut and bolt restoration carried out by Ferrari specialists over a two-and-a-half-year period. Brandoli were responsible for the body and assembly, Cremonini for the paintwork, and Luppi for the interior. Meanwhile, in the UK, specialists GTO engineering were entrusted to carry out the mechanical aspect of the comprehensive restoration. Following the completion of the restoration in Italy, the car was granted Classiche certification in its totally period correct specification. On 2-3 July 2016, the car had the opportunity to showcase its restoration on the lawns of the Heveningham Hall Concours where it proved to be a real head turner. In 2024, this 275 was refinished in the period correct shade of Grigio Scuro retaining the wonderfully sumptuos and inviting chocolate brown Connolly Vaumol crushed grain 890 leather. Furthermore, this example has recieved handpainted Scuderia shields as seen on competition Ferraris. This stunning example of Ferrari’s 275 is available to view at our showrooms outside London by appointment immediately. 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB 6C D.K.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Delivered new in 1965, this Ferrari 275 GTB, fitted with the favourable six-carburettor setup, is one of only 11 RHD examples to ever leave the Maranello. The car was ordered by a VIP client of Ferrari, Dr Wilkins, better known as Dick Wilkins, who owned an impressive array from the Maranello marque including a P4, 250TR and, in partnership with Rob Walker, the 250 SWB driven by none other than Stirling Moss, which he owned at the time Moss won the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1960. When Dr Wilkins ordered this car, the car was built to the ultimate specification, which most importantly meant fitting the six-carburettor setup. The original specification chosen was Rosso Chiaro exterior paint over a black leather interior with grey carpets and headlining. Additional factory optional extras included full leather seats and Borrani wire wheels. The car went on to later be acquired by Mr D.A. Harrison, owner of D.A. Harrison and Company, of Wigton, Cumbria, a gentleman in the haulage and storage industry. The 275 was then purchased by a MR C.W. MacDowall of Ingatestone who proceeded to place the registration of ’27 WY’ on the car. Later on, in 1972 the car was then sold to musician, songwriter, record producer and known Ferrari enthusiast Mr Eric M. Stewart, of Tadworth, Surrey, best known as the lead vocalist for pop groups The Mindbenders and 10cc. Eric also owned a RHD 275 GTB/4, a RHD 250 SWB and, most notably, a 250 LM. This 275, like Eric’s entire Ferrari collection, was maintained without regard to cost by Graypaul Motors in Loughborough. In late 1977, the car was exported and sold to successful industrialist Mr Elliott R. Coyle, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, USA. An avid collector of fine English guns and exotic cars, Mr Coyle owned the car for over four years, until 1982, when it was purchased by a Mr Dave Becker who went on to own the car for the next 21 years. After this period of ownership, the car was then brought back to the UK in August of 2013. Shortly after, the car was then sent back to Modena where it underwent a full nut and bolt restoration carried out by Ferrari specialists over a two-and-a-half-year period. Brandoli were responsible for the body and assembly, Cremonini for the paintwork, and Luppi for the interior. Meanwhile, in the UK, specialists GTO engineering were entrusted to carry out the mechanical aspect of the comprehensive restoration. Following the completion of the restoration in Italy, the car was granted Classiche certification in its totally period correct specification. On 2-3 July 2016, the car had the opportunity to showcase its restoration on the lawns of the Heveningham Hall Concours where it proved to be a real head turner. In 2024, this 275 was refinished in the period correct shade of Grigio Scuro retaining the wonderfully sumptuos and inviting chocolate brown Connolly Vaumol crushed grain 890 leather. Furthermore, this example has recieved handpainted Scuderia shields as seen on competition Ferraris. This stunning example of Ferrari’s 275 is available to view at our showrooms outside London by appointment immediately. Other Cars from D.K.

The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built; just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Among those rarified 21 cars, chassis number 2170 offered here was built in September 1956 around a 2.55-metre wheelbase. Per the accompanying copy of the factory build sheets, the 2.0-litre powerplant—its type used by Maserati in Formula 2 and World Sportscar Championship racers—was further enhanced courtesy of being originally fitted with a trio of Weber 40 DC03 carburettors. Meanwhile, the Allemano coachwork wore Grigio paint and was complemented by a Bleu leather interior. Two months later, in November, the Maserati had been imported into the United States ready for its first owner, Mr Edwards Jahns of Los Angeles in California. The following year, the car was road tested in San Franciso for an issue of Motor Trend magazine. Come 1988, the 2000 GT Coupé resided with marque aficionado Mr Francis Mandarano of Seattle in Washington State. Reportedly, around this time, the founding member of Maserati Club International and Concorso Italiano commissioned a restoration, with chassis 2170 refinished in its factory colour combination of Grigio over Bleu, as it presents today. The car made the return journey across the Atlantic the following year, ahead of a nine-year spell with a new custodian. The globetrotting continued thereafter, with the Maserati next sold at auction in 1997 to Mr John Cruikshank, who was based in Tamworth of New South Wales. While in Australia, the car was issued with a FIVA Identity Card in December 2009. Purchased by the most recent private owner in June 2007, the A6G/54 completed the Mille Miglia in 2010 and was registered for use on the road in the United Kingdom from April 2021. Following a period in dry storage, the car heads to The Woodcote Park Auction in running condition courtesy of recommissioning by Norfolk-based Maserati specialist Steve Hart Restoration & Race Preparation. The work, carried out in August 2025, totalled £3,392 to cover a new battery further to reconditioning of the brakes. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs. 1956 Maserati A6G/54 2000 GT Coupé by Allemano RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

THE PINNACLE OF THE DB4 PLATFORM - THE SERIES IV VANTAGE With production spanning from September 1961 to December 1962, the Aston Martin DB4 Series IV boasted a number of small yet important differences over its predecessors. Namely, the rear lights were recessed into the bodywork, the bonnet scoop was lower, and a new front grille was introduced, featuring seven vertical bars, all features which carried into the DB5. Continual updates in production only improved the breed, and towards the end of the DB4 production a final run of high-specification cars, known as the Series IV Vantage Saloons, left the factory between March and December 1962. These Series IV Vantage SS cars are considered by many to be among the most collectable DB4s. Another important introduction was the fitting as standard of the Vantage-specification “Special Series” (or SS) engine, previously an optional extra. Topped with triple SU HD8 carburettors alongside special cylinder heads, a higher compression ratio (9:1), larger valves, and an oil cooler, power increased to 266 horsepower, representing a 10 per cent increase over the standard DB4. The Vantage SS also borrowed the instrumentation from the DB4 GT, identifiable by separate dials for each function, including oil temperature. The Vantage-specification DB4 SS would remain in production until the introduction of the DB5 in 1963, with 45 examples produced and only 31 cars built to RHD specification, including the car on offer here. CHASSIS NO. DB4/977/R Chassis number DB4/977/R was built in 1962 and left the factory finished in California Sage over a Terra Cotta interior. As per the car’s original build sheet, it left the factory outfitted to Vantage specifications, with a 3.77:1 rear-axle ratio, a Powr-Lok differential, a heated rear windscreen, and fitted with two Marchal headlamps. It was destined for its home market of the United Kingdom. The car’s original owner, listed as Spielman Enterprises of Bristol, took delivery on 6 July 1962, with the original logbook signed off by a J.V Spielman. The car was issued 256 PHW as its first registration number, and it retains that same registration number today. Spielman would own the car for five years and used it regularly. The service notes listed with the build sheet show he regularly serviced the car throughout his ownership, while accumulating over 14,000 miles in his first year of ownership and 40,000 miles by May of 1965. In May of 1967, Spielman sold the car to G. Bacon of Bacon’s Transport (also of Bristol) who in turn sold the car to G. Elgin of Shute Shelve Garage in nearby Winscombe in November of 1968. It remained with him until May of 1971; at that point the car was sold to Stuart Eyles of Newent, Gloucestershire, who owned the car for less than a year. The next owner would be Robert John Taylor of Chester who purchased the car in April of 1972. Correspondence and invoices from his ownership dating from 1972 remain in the history file, including a letter to the current owner stating the following: “May I say that I am pleased that 256 PHW has been acquired by someone who is showing a real interest in her. I, and later my family, have spent many enjoyable hours touring the countryside in the car—and answering many questions, and requests for a ‘quick spin’ by members of the local Constabulary”. Taylor retained ownership until January 1989. At this point, the car was acquired by John Victor Cigarini of London. Cigarini, a film producer who split his time between the UK and Los Angeles, purchased the car in need of a restoration and commissioned Goldsmith and Young, Aston Martin specialists based in Wiltshire. THIRTY-TWO YEARS OF SINGLE ENTHUSIAST OWNERSHIP Towards the end of the restoration with the DB4 still incomplete, it was purchased by the current enthusiast owner. An in depth read of the file illustrates that after joining the Aston Martin Owners Club in March of 1993, he completed the purchase of the car in May 1993. Restoration work was completed by December of 1993, with the car refinished in Aston Martin Almond Green (as it appears today) with a charcoal Connolly interior (as it presents today). It is important to note that the odometer was zeroed at the beginning of this restoration, and the mileage showing today is the mileage of the car since restoration. Over the ensuing years, regular use and upkeep would continue, with the DB4 having accrued approximately 15,000 miles over the course of the past thirty-two years. Servicing and maintenance were usually carried out by Aston Martin Works, R.S. Williams, and Trinity Engineering, all well-known Aston Martin specialists, and an indexed summary written out by the current owner confirms the work carried out in his tenure as detailed in their respective invoices. These can be found in the car’s digital history file. Under the current owner’s instructions, displacement of the 3.7-litre ‘SS’ engine was increased to 4.2 litres and fitted with Cosworth pistons to raise the compression ratio to 10:1 and electronic ignition, thus increasing power output over the already considerable ‘SS’ specification to a claimed 285 horsepower. Oil and cooling systems have been uprated and DB4/977/R is equipped with an uprated radiator and JMB water pump. The driveline is rounded out with an overdrive, an uprated clutch, and a dynamically-balanced prop-shaft. Braking is via the original DB4 GT servo-assisted Girling disc brakes, enhanced by EBC brake pads. As a testament to the car’s condition, it has been proudly shown at a number of Aston Martin Owners Club events over the past three decades, including appearing at the club’s display twice at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court in 2022 and 2017, Windsor Palace in 2016, and at the St. James Concours of Elegance in 2013. It has also appeared at club concours events at the Guards Polo Club, Windsor (2006), Mapledurham (2009), and Loseley Park (2022), and exercised on club track days at Goodwood, Silverstone, and Brands Hatch. Most recently, Aston Martin Works Service and Trinity Engineering in 2017-18 undertook a sympathetic body restoration with the DB4 again being refinished in Aston Martin Almond Green. During this process, close attention was paid to reshaping the front wings to factory correct standards, and the car received a new windshield, side and rear windows, and the window frames were rechromed. Since the completion of this work, the car was largely kept in static storage, with regular exercise off public roads to make sure it remained in working order. The last service was carried out in 2021 at Aston Engineering in Derby. Chassis number DB4/977/R was recently collected and driven by RM Sotheby’s Car Specialist Will Smith. Following his drive, Will reported that; “This is without question one of the finest DB Aston Martins I’ve ever had the privilege to drive. The torque of the 4.2-litre engine is a huge benefit and the gearbox is silky smooth. The steering is precise and the shorter chassis gives great feedback on either motorway or challenging B-road.” For many, these Series IV DB4 Vantages represent the pinnacle of the DB4 platform (with the exception of course the DB4 GT which it so closely resembles!) as the Series V DB4s sported longer, taller, and heavier bodywork with smaller wheels, presaging the DB5. Well-kept and beautifully presented, this DB4 Vantage has been its owner’s prized possession for over thirty-two years. Benefitting from a known history from new with seven UK owners, and tremendously rare in RHD form with just 31 examples produced, it would revel in being enjoyed on the open road. 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Vantage SS RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The next owner would be Robert John Taylor of Chester who purchased the car in April of 1972. Correspondence and invoices from his ownership dating from 1972 remain in the history file, including a letter to the current owner stating the following: “May I say that I am pleased that 256 PHW has been acquired by someone who is showing a real interest in her. I, and later my family, have spent many enjoyable hours touring the countryside in the car—and answering many questions, and requests for a ‘quick spin’ by members of the local Constabulary”. Taylor retained ownership until January 1989. At this point, the car was acquired by John Victor Cigarini of London. Cigarini, a film producer who split his time between the UK and Los Angeles, purchased the car in need of a restoration and commissioned Goldsmith and Young, Aston Martin specialists based in Wiltshire. THIRTY-TWO YEARS OF SINGLE ENTHUSIAST OWNERSHIP Towards the end of the restoration with the DB4 still incomplete, it was purchased by the current enthusiast owner. An in depth read of the file illustrates that after joining the Aston Martin Owners Club in March of 1993, he completed the purchase of the car in May 1993. Restoration work was completed by December of 1993, with the car refinished in Aston Martin Almond Green (as it appears today) with a charcoal Connolly interior (as it presents today). It is important to note that the odometer was zeroed at the beginning of this restoration, and the mileage showing today is the mileage of the car since restoration. Over the ensuing years, regular use and upkeep would continue, with the DB4 having accrued approximately 15,000 miles over the course of the past thirty-two years. Servicing and maintenance were usually carried out by Aston Martin Works, R.S. Williams, and Trinity Engineering, all well-known Aston Martin specialists, and an indexed summary written out by the current owner confirms the work carried out in his tenure as detailed in their respective invoices. These can be found in the car’s digital history file. Under the current owner’s instructions, displacement of the 3.7-litre ‘SS’ engine was increased to 4.2 litres and fitted with Cosworth pistons to raise the compression ratio to 10:1 and electronic ignition, thus increasing power output over the already considerable ‘SS’ specification to a claimed 285 horsepower. Oil and cooling systems have been uprated and DB4/977/R is equipped with an uprated radiator and JMB water pump. The driveline is rounded out with an overdrive, an uprated clutch, and a dynamically-balanced prop-shaft. Braking is via the original DB4 GT servo-assisted Girling disc brakes, enhanced by EBC brake pads. As a testament to the car’s condition, it has been proudly shown at a number of Aston Martin Owners Club events over the past three decades, including appearing at the club’s display twice at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court in 2022 and 2017, Windsor Palace in 2016, and at the St. James Concours of Elegance in 2013. It has also appeared at club concours events at the Guards Polo Club, Windsor (2006), Mapledurham (2009), and Loseley Park (2022), and exercised on club track days at Goodwood, Silverstone, and Brands Hatch. Most recently, Aston Martin Works Service and Trinity Engineering in 2017-18 undertook a sympathetic body restoration with the DB4 again being refinished in Aston Martin Almond Green. During this process, close attention was paid to reshaping the front wings to factory correct standards, and the car received a new windshield, side and rear windows, and the window frames were rechromed. Since the completion of this work, the car was largely kept in static storage, with regular exercise off public roads to make sure it remained in working order. The last service was carried out in 2021 at Aston Engineering in Derby. Chassis number DB4/977/R was recently collected and driven by RM Sotheby’s Car Specialist Will Smith. Following his drive, Will reported that; “This is without question one of the finest DB Aston Martins I’ve ever had the privilege to drive. The torque of the 4.2-litre engine is a huge benefit and the gearbox is silky smooth. The steering is precise and the shorter chassis gives great feedback on either motorway or challenging B-road.” For many, these Series IV DB4 Vantages represent the pinnacle of the DB4 platform (with the exception of course the DB4 GT which it so closely resembles!) as the Series V DB4s sported longer, taller, and heavier bodywork with smaller wheels, presaging the DB5. Well-kept and beautifully presented, this DB4 Vantage has been its owner’s prized possession for over thirty-two years. Benefitting from a known history from new with seven UK owners, and tremendously rare in RHD form with just 31 examples produced, it would revel in being enjoyed on the open road.

Offered here is a highly desirable Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 2+2, presented in its original and elegant factory colour combination of Pale Primrose Yellow over Black trim. Manufactured on 17 December 1971 and dispatched new in January 1972 via J.R.J. Mansbridge of Lincoln, this right-hand-drive example retains its matching-numbers engine and is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, confirming its original specification and provenance. This E-Type has benefitted from extensive restoration work, carried out to a high standard and comprehensively documented with extensive invoices and photographic records. Most notably, the engine was subject to a complete rebuild in 2021, ensuring strong performance and reliability, and at this time the ignition system was also upgraded. The extra space of the Series 3 combined with the automatic transmission and power steering make for a very comfortable tourer, and this car presents as a well-sorted and highly usable example, combining originality with carefully considered mechanical improvements. Its factory-correct colour scheme, matching-numbers status, and accompanying heritage certification further underline its collectability. A beautifully presented and thoroughly maintained example of Jaguar’s V12 flagship, this E-Type offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a documented, restored, and ready-to-enjoy car that is equally suited to touring, events, or inclusion in any collection. 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 FHC SIII The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Formerly based on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, the Italian coachbuilder Autotecnica del Lario specialised in one-off designs and bespoke requests for its niche base of clientele. After setting up in the 1960s, the company initially thrived as an outlier but later languished in the face of modern monocoque construction techniques and a diminishing demand for coachbuilt cars. Swimming against the tide, and while other coachbuilders made radical changes just to survive, Autotecnica del Lario oversaw a production run for a limited number of hand-built, bespoke sports cars, with the last examples completed by the end of the 1970s. In tribute to some of Alfa Romeo’s most daring and memorable coupé designs of the 1950s and 1960s, the ATL Sports Coupé was reminiscent of some of the finest designs by Alfa Romeo and the most prominent Italian carrozzeria of the era, prominently based upon a two-seater Berlinetta shape. Styling cues are evident from the ever-stylish 1950s Alfa Romeo 1900 Sport Spider and 2000 Sportiva through to later, more modern models from the marque. Each example of the model to be hand-built by Autotecnica del Lario differed in detail but the model is immediately recognisable for its stunning aluminium coachwork; one constant in the design output from the coachbuilder. The thin-gauge bodywork sits atop a “birdcage” frame, akin to the coachbuilder construction techniques for the finest sports cars of a golden era. The lightweight steel tubular chassis comprises varying diameter metals with boxed in sections within which the mechanical ancillaries are guided, while suspension was independent on all four wheels with front and rear disc brakes shrouded by Borrani wire wheels. The chassis was inspired by and built to the specifications of the frame designed by Alfa Romeo for the 2000 Sportiva, of which only two were made in coupé form. All in, thanks to its lightweight composition, the coachbuilt Sports Coupé tipped the scales at just 810 kilograms. While no factory nor production registers exist for the cars built by Autotecnica del Lario, it is believed that the coachbuilder’s production process involved the assumption of an existing Alfa Romeo chassis number, even though new a new chassis frame was constructed. The example offered here, chassis AR 247482, originated with the identity of a 1976 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce. This example is believed to have originated in October 1976, as per the accompanying statement on file by Giorgio Greppi, founder of Autotecnica del Lario, while its Alfa Romeo chassis number sequence coincides with the build window for its donor vehicle. While the car’s intermediary history is unknown, in 2018 the car was purchased by renowned car collector and TV chef, James Martin. On taking delivery of the car, Mr Martin quickly set about embarking on an ambitious restoration process. The Speciale was handed over to Cars International Heritage of Rochford, Essex in February 2019, which marked the beginning of a six-year restoration journey, totalling almost £90,000. At this point, the “double-bubble” Zagato-style roof was installed, adding signature Italian coachbuilder charm to the car’s visual appearance while also boosting the internal headroom for taller drivers and passengers. The restoration, which accounted for the fact that the car not run for a prolonged period beforehand, involved a complete strip-down of the body, chassis, and mechanical components. Bespoke Perspex windscreen and rear screens were fabricated, new centre-lock wire wheels sourced, and new twin-Weber carburettors fitted to the engine. Now offered for sale fresh out of restoration, this extremely rare and seldom-seen coachbuilt car would be an ideal contender for entry into many of the driving events and tours that mark the collector car calendar. Its unique coachwork and fascinating back-story is sure to draw attention wherever it is driven. 1976 Alfa Romeo Sports Coupé by Autotecnica del Lario RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This example is believed to have originated in October 1976, as per the accompanying statement on file by Giorgio Greppi, founder of Autotecnica del Lario, while its Alfa Romeo chassis number sequence coincides with the build window for its donor vehicle. While the car’s intermediary history is unknown, in 2018 the car was purchased by renowned car collector and TV chef, James Martin. On taking delivery of the car, Mr Martin quickly set about embarking on an ambitious restoration process. The Speciale was handed over to Cars International Heritage of Rochford, Essex in February 2019, which marked the beginning of a six-year restoration journey, totalling almost £90,000. At this point, the “double-bubble” Zagato-style roof was installed, adding signature Italian coachbuilder charm to the car’s visual appearance while also boosting the internal headroom for taller drivers and passengers. The restoration, which accounted for the fact that the car not run for a prolonged period beforehand, involved a complete strip-down of the body, chassis, and mechanical components. Bespoke Perspex windscreen and rear screens were fabricated, new centre-lock wire wheels sourced, and new twin-Weber carburettors fitted to the engine. Now offered for sale fresh out of restoration, this extremely rare and seldom-seen coachbuilt car would be an ideal contender for entry into many of the driving events and tours that mark the collector car calendar. Its unique coachwork and fascinating back-story is sure to draw attention wherever it is driven.

The Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa is considered one of the most desirable F-series models of the early 1970s. In particular, the so-called “oil flap model” enjoys an exceptional reputation among Porsche enthusiasts, as this version was produced only for a very short period of time. The powerful 2.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine producing 190 hp combines sporty performance with the characteristic driving experience of the classic air-cooled 911 generation. Only 989 examples of this rare 911 S Targa version were delivered worldwide. The vehicle offered here stands out with its largely unrestored original condition and its attractive color combination of Light Yellow with black interior and classic Pepita seat inserts. In 1998, the car was repainted in its original delivery color. Over the years, the mechanical components have been maintained and revised as required. According to the available Porsche certificate, the color scheme, engine, and transmission correspond to the original delivery specification. A rare opportunity to acquire a particularly original oil flap model. 1972 Porsche 911 S Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In the illustrious history of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., certain models like the Miura, Espada, Countach and Murceliago have stolen the spotlight, becoming icons of automotive design and engineering. However, nestled within Lamborghini's rich lineage lie a few lesser-known gems that offered comfort and practicality without compromising on the brand’s hallmark of high performance and Italian craftsmanship and amongst these is the Marcello Gandini-penned, Jarama. Unlike its more flamboyant siblings, the Jarama’s design was subtle, making it one of the most understated Lamborghinis (the Pistachio Green example here is perhaps an exception). A blend of sharp angles and flowing lines, a hallmark of Gandini's work whilst at Carrozzeria Bertone, its appearance was distinctive yet understated, characterized by a low-slung body, pop-up headlights, and a spacious interior that offered space for 2 + 2 without sacrificing the sporty feel. Launched in 1970, the Jarama was a creation born out of necessity as Lamborghini needed a grand tourer that complied with the stringent US safety and emissions standards without compromising on the brand’s cachet in the US. Powered by Lamborghini's 4.0-litre quad-cam V12 engine, this new 160mph four seater abandoned its maker's existing spaceframe chassis in favour of a platform-type unitary construction, derived from the Espada, but shortened by roughly 27cm. An unusual styling feature was the nose with its quadruple headlamps partially obscured by electrically raised covers. An improved S version, upgraded to 365bhp appeared in 1972, while later developments included Torqueflite automatic transmission and power-assisted steering. The Jarama continued in production until 1976, by which time 327 cars had been built, 152 of them to S specification. Our vendor, Alex Postan, is well-known within the world of motorsport having competed in Formula Ford, F3, BSCC, BTCC and Le Mans plus many, many years taking part in club circuit racing and rallies all over Europe in everything from a little Healey to a well-sorted 911. Initially establishing himself within the art world as founder of Alexander Postan Fine Art and an early specialist in Modern British Art, Alex simultaneously pursued an increasingly serious racing career. Beginning with Formula 3 machinery in the early 1970s, he progressed through hill climbs and into the fiercely competitive world of Formula Ford, where his natural consistency and determination earned him a National Formula Ford 1600 Championship title in 1983. In early 1984, Alex became interested in the world of Lamborghini. In his own words "I was very interested in owning a Lamborghini and to be part of the Lamborghini experience. A Countach was out of sight but I came across the Jarama which had been taken as part payment by a firm of accountants whose client was an Italian hairdresser from Cardiff (Ferrari owners disparagingly refer to Lamborghinis as hairdressers' cars - true In this case!). I thought it would be a quick job and started to dismantle it under the guidance of Del Hopkins at Portman Lamborghini. In fact I had let myself in for a 30-year project, proceeding bit by bit as money and time permitted. To add to the complications, I moved from London to Oxfordshire - the car came with me in boxes. The body was repaired using parts from another shell with the work carried out initially by Mike Creasey of Gravely Coachworks and latterly by Simon Fields at Deepcote Re-finishing. The paint was chosen from an original colour swatch supplied by Portman Lamborghini and is an authentic PPG Jarama colour - Verde Pistachio. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt by Howard Dent at Autosportif Engineering. So finally, after nearly 30 years, I had a viable Lamborghini! Feruchio Lamborghini 's favourite car was the Jarama and it is one of the rarest models with only 18 right-hand drive cars of which only 13 found homes in the UK." This Lamborghini presents well in its verdant Verde Pistachio, although the dark blue leather interior is original and well patinated, which is exactly the way our vendor likes it, however, the car's next custodian may choose to refresh the interior also. The car runs and drives as you might expect for a fully rebuilt Lamborghini with only nominal mileage since the rebuild, and sounds fabulous with an organ-rearranging bark from that glorious V12. It's important to remember that, with the exception of the paintwork and the engine rebuild, the car's restoration has been carried out by our vendor over a 30-year period and is not the result of a vastly expensive restoration by a leading specialist. The Jarama has been part of the Postan family for over 40 years and will be much missed, however, our vendor is no longer as nimble as he used to be so the time has come to say goodbye. We welcome and encourage your inspection of this very rare V12 Lamborghini at our BRDC Sale. 1973 Lamborghini Jarama S Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Completed in 1972, this E-series left hand drive example was supplied new to Germany. It would arrive in the UK in 2011 after purchase and import by noted Ferrari collector Stephen Pilkington from Sweden. The Dino was in a state of disrepair and purchased with the sole intention of the most comprehensive restoration possible. Pilkington began the restoration alongside a 250 GTE, with the Dino seeing its engine removed and the car stripped in its entirety to its bare metal and chassis. The initial works were carried out locally with classic car restorers Quest Autobody Repairs. Metal works were carried out diligently by hand to ensure the shape of the Dino was true to its original supply. In 2016, the car was sold partly restored along with a collection of spares to its current keeper. The restoration would be moved through a series of specialists, culminating in the works carried out by Hartwood Motors of Southport for final assembly. Connolly 4208 Fawn leather was supplied to Coachtrimmers Luppi Tappezzeria of Modena who completed the interior work, complementing the bodywork in Grigio Fumo. Upon completion of the restoration in 2023, this Dino joined a significant collection and saw sparing use. Ahead of sale, this 246 GT has been treated to a fresh service and carburettor tune up in May 2026 and is offered today accompanied by its history folio, included a wealth of invoices and restoration images. This Dino will further pass through our workshops as a part of the sale. 1973 Dino 246 GT D.K. Engineering Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Metal works were carried out diligently by hand to ensure the shape of the Dino was true to its original supply. In 2016, the car was sold partly restored along with a collection of spares to its current keeper. The restoration would be moved through a series of specialists, culminating in the works carried out by Hartwood Motors of Southport for final assembly. Connolly 4208 Fawn leather was supplied to Coachtrimmers Luppi Tappezzeria of Modena who completed the interior work, complementing the bodywork in Grigio Fumo. Upon completion of the restoration in 2023, this Dino joined a significant collection and saw sparing use. Ahead of sale, this 246 GT has been treated to a fresh service and carburettor tune up in May 2026 and is offered today accompanied by its history folio, included a wealth of invoices and restoration images. This Dino will further pass through our workshops as a part of the sale. Other Cars from D.K.

Few modern performance Fords have achieved the lasting cult status of the Escort RS Cosworth. Developed as a homologation special for Ford’s World Rally Championship programme, the model combined the practical Escort bodyshell with the sophisticated four-wheel drive underpinnings and turbocharged Cosworth engineering derived from the Sierra RS Cosworth lineage. Instantly recognisable by its dramatically extended arches, bonnet vents and iconic bi-plane ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler, the Escort RS Cosworth became one of the defining performance cars of the 1990s and remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today. Whilst many examples have lived hard lives, been modified extensively, or restored over time, this particular car appears to stand apart through the sheer quality of its preservation and the remarkable level of accompanying provenance retained throughout its life. It's distinctively presented in Radiant Red, one of only three examples believed to have been supplied in this colour and, when combined with its originality and apparent condition, this rarity further elevates what is already regarded as one of Ford’s most collectable modern-era RS models. First registered in 1996, the odometer displayed just under 34,000 miles at the time of cataloguing and is notably described as having had 'no former keepers from new', an extraordinary distinction for a performance car of this era and significance. This continuity of ownership and care is immediately reflected in the condition, presentation and accompanying documentation. Perhaps most remarkable is the extent and consistency of the history file accompanying the car. It benefits from a full Ford service history, together with what is understood to be every invoice and expenditure record retained from new and carefully organised in chronological order. Also included is the original Ford sales invoice supplied when the car was first purchased, together with all tax discs issued throughout its life, an increasingly rare survival that provides a fascinating timeline of the car’s history and continued use. Equally impressive is the car's MOT history supported by our vendor who confirms that it never missed an MOT test from new, with inspections reportedly carried out religiously every October or November regardless of mileage covered. More unusually still, not only has it never failed an MOT test but there is not a single advisory notice to be seen throughout its entire life, evidence of the standard of maintenance and preventative care afforded to the car over nearly three decades. Importantly for collectors, the RS Cosworth is described as entirely unmodified, preserving the factory specification so often lost with these cars during period ownership. Equally significant is the assertion that the car has never been restored, allowing it to retain a level of originality and authenticity increasingly difficult to find within the Escort RS Cosworth market. The car is also understood never to have sustained accident damage and is confirmed HPI clear. The original interior remains in exceptional condition throughout, while externally the car reportedly presents without blemishes. Our vendor notes that the car still retains what is described as its ‘showroom smell’, a particular nuance that is impossible to replicate but that resonates strongly with marque enthusiasts. Accompanying the car are four keys, including the important red master key, another detail often absent on surviving examples and indicative of the completeness of this particular car. The Escort RS Cosworth occupies a unique place within Ford’s performance history. Built in limited numbers and developed with direct links to Ford’s international rallying ambitions, it successfully blended genuine motorsport pedigree with everyday usability and dramatic road presence. As values and collector interest continue to strengthen, the market has become increasingly discerning, with originality, provenance and condition now carrying greater importance than ever before. In that respect, this example represents a particularly compelling opportunity. Combining apparent single ownership, exceptionally low mileage, complete originality, a rare colour choice, and one of the most comprehensive documented histories likely to accompany an Escort RS Cosworth, it is difficult to imagine many surviving examples presented to a comparable standard. Presented in what is described as outstanding condition throughout and retaining an extraordinary level of provenance from new, this highly original Escort RS Cosworth would undoubtedly reward the closest inspection and is likely to appeal equally to serious Ford collectors, marque enthusiasts and those seeking one of the finest preserved examples of this legendary homologation special. 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
