- 1996 Ferrari 355 Spider
This 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider is finished in one of the ultimate color combinations for this shape- Giallo Modena over Black Leather. Showing just over 10,000 miles, this car has been well kept from new and remains in excellent condition throughout. When new, these cars were offered in 3 body styles: the Berlinetta like this one, a Spider, and a GTS with a removable targa-style top. Although every enthusiast has their own preference, it is undeniable that top-down driving is the ultimate way to experience the howling V8 right behind your head. Penned by the Pininfarina design studio, the F355 is an evolution of its predecessor, the 348, yet is arguably improved in every possible way. The interior of the F355 is beautiful in its simplicity. A pair of comfortable, nicely bolstered bucket seats are separated by a console that houses storage, buttons, and the all-important stainless shifter protruding from its metal gate. Sitting in the driver’s seat, a pod with 4 deeply hooded gauges sits in front of you, with three more auxiliary gauges in the lower center of the dashboard. This car comes from an era before screens became prominent features inside Ferraris, giving it a timeless, classic look inside. Sitting right behind the passenger compartment is what sets the F355 apart from any other Ferrari- the screaming flat-plane-crank 3.5 liter V8. Although the base of the engine isn’t tremendously different from that found in the 348, the F355 features brand-new 5-valve heads that increase flow dramatically and allow for a redline of 8,500 rpm. Producing 375 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, the F355 is still fast today with a sub-5 second 0-60 mph time and a top speed in excess of 180 mph. The F355 was the first Ferrari to be offered with an F1-style paddle shift gearbox, which was offered alongside the 6-speed manual beginning in 1997. Although the technology was novel at the time, it does not stack up today and the 6-speed manual in this car is the only transmission to have in your F355. It is easy to fall in love with an F355 by just looking at the body, but the appreciation for the car only grows once you get behind the wheel. This example is in excellent condition overall, and when combined with the outstanding color combination, it truly fulfills the role of 1990s dream car. 1996 Ferrari 355 Spider ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa
BIRTH OF A LEGEND Every great saga opens with a deceptively simple chapter, or as the saying goes, the longest journey begins with but a single step. In the case of the featured lot, that great saga, the metaphorical longest journey, is the production of Ferrari’s longest-running and most celebrated vintage model—the 250 GT. And this remarkable coachbuilt Ferrari is that opening chapter, the initial single step; this Vignale-bodied Ferrari is the very first 250 road car produced. From its 1947 inception, Ferrari overwhelmingly relied on a Gioacchino Colombo-designed V-12 that was successively developed from its original 1.5-liter displacement to 1.9, 2.3, 2.6, and 2.7-liter configurations. In early 1952, the engine was further enlarged with a single-cylinder volume approaching 250 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 2,953-cubic-centimeter engine became the first edition of the famous Colombo short-block 3-liter V-12—a motor that in one form or another remained in production through 1964. This remarkably long development period of 13 years not only cemented an important legacy in Ferrari’s lore, but it guaranteed the 250 engine a degree of reliability that was altogether lacking in less developed and time-tested motors engineered by the competition, a benefit that became apparent during numerous wins in endurance racing events. Unsurprisingly, the earliest 250 engines were utilized in competition cars, starting with the 250 Sport that Giovanni Bracco famously flogged through the rain to win the 1952 Mille Miglia, and most immediately leading to a short run of 250 MM berlinettas and spiders that followed. A year later Ferrari finally installed the 3-liter V-12 in a luxurious grand touring car intended solely for road use: this very important Vignale-bodied Ferrari (0295 EU), in what was essentially the inception of the legendary 250 GT. According to an authoritative feature article in Cavallino magazine by Ferrari historian and Pebble Beach judge Alan C. Boe, and as corroborated by the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 0295 EU, presented here, is the very first 250 Europa built. It is effectively the prototypical example of a 3-liter grand touring Ferrari, and it was one of just two that received the 3-liter Colombo 250 V-12. (Only the first two 250 Europas were equipped as such, the following 20 examples being fitted with a Lampredi-designed engine.) The car is one of just three 250 Europa coupes that were bodied by Vignale. Most importantly, however, this car must be considered a prototypical example of a Ferrari 3-liter Colombo-powered grand touring car, essentially the progenitor of the venerable 250 GT, Ferrari’s most celebrated and successful platform. A one-off, 0295 EU was clothed in one of Giovanni Michelotti’s more intriguing designs, showing a clear influence from the Vignale-bodied 340 Mexicos that ran the Carrera Panamericana, while featuring intricate finishing in the half-chromed fender protuberances, and chrome-molded side scallops painted in a complementary two-tone color scheme. The large eggcrate grille, single arcing belt line, and the high-waisted low-roof architecture combined to result in a muscular brute of a stance, emanating power and style. This 250 Europa was publicly unveiled by Ferrari in October 1953 at the Paris Salon. The coachwork was finished in an arresting shade of Rosso Rubino, with a very dark hue of Amaranto red in the distinctive coves, nearly approaching black. This luxuriously appointed road car represented Maranello’s strongest step yet toward a consistent model line, as the 250 would soon assume full production in the Pinin Farina-bodied 250 Europas and Europa GTs, the segue to the true 250 GT Coupes and Cabriolets that appeared in 1956 and 1957. Ferrari’s first phase of legitimate production automobiles would eventually extend all the way to the 250 GT/L Lusso of the mid-1960s, while offering some of history’s most compelling models along the way, including the dual-use Tour de France Berlinetta and California Spider, and the competition-specified Testa Rossa and GTO race cars. Following its presentation at the 1953 Paris Salon, this fascinating Europa was sold to its first owner, Robert Teakle of Detroit, Michigan. Over the next 18 years, the Ferrari passed through the care of seven additional American owners before being acquired in August 1971 by Gilbert Walton of Danville, California. Mr. Walton went on to retain possession for a remarkable period of 37 years, during which the Europa was mostly stored in preparation for a restoration. Some work began in the mid-1980s, but when Mr. Walton offered the car for sale in 2008, it was still in a partially disassembled state. ITALIAN RENAISSANCE In August 2008 the significant Ferrari was purchased from Walton by Brian Hoyt, the well-known proprietor of Perfect Reflections in Hayward, California, one of the vintage Ferrari niche’s most respected restoration concerns. Aware that he had secured the long-forgotten 1953 Paris Salon show car, Mr. Hoyt commenced an exacting refurbishment that addressed every mechanical and cosmetic consideration. The original Colombo 3-liter V-12 was sent to the highly respected marque specialist Patrick Ottis, who completely rebuilt the important engine, including the installation of new pistons. The running gear and ancillary systems were all rebuilt, and Mr. Hoyt spent many hours studying photos of the car from 1953 in order to optimally replicate the finish and accessory details. The aluminum coachwork was reduced to bare metal and then treated to a deep two-tone finish in Rosso Rubino on the majority of the body, while the side coves were finished in contrasting Nero, and the interior was trimmed in beige leather upholstery. Upon completion of the masterful five-year restoration, the Europa was sold to the consignor, a respected collector of important vintage Ferraris based in Kentucky. In an effort to further improve the car’s historical accuracy, the new owner and Mr. Hoyt took additional efforts to study period evidence. Concluding that the side coves were originally a very dark red, but not quite black, Mr. Hoyt refinished the coves in a thin coat of red paint that returned them to a beautiful deep red hue. The owner wasted no time in exhibiting the magnificent Europa on the show scene, beginning with presentation at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2015, where the car participated in the very competitive Grand Touring Ferrari class. Five months later the 250 was shown at the Cavallino Classic, winning a Platinum Award and the Elegance Cup for the finest coachbuilt Ferrari. In April 2016 the Europa was certified by Ferrari Classiche with a Red Book that demonstrates the continued presence of the numbers-matching chassis, engine, and coachwork. The gearbox and rear differential have been replaced with correct-type components stamped by Ferrari Classiche, further assuring the car is presented with the highest possible level of authenticity. In May 2016 the Ferrari was exhibited at the exclusive Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza at Lake Como, Italy, and a month later it was the featured cover car of Cavallino magazine, in conjunction with Mr. Boe’s well-researched article. In 2017 the Europa was presented at the Arizona Concours d’Elegance, collecting a class award and a special award for the Most Elegant Postwar Car, and at the Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance in Great Britain, where it won an Outstanding Coachwork award during the event’s tribute to 70 Years of Ferrari. The year’s activities were nicely rounded out when the Europa was displayed at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. Additional awards were earned at the 2019 Concours d’Elegance Suisse (Best of Show), the 2019 Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance (Best of Show, Post War), and the 2021 Cavallino Classic Middle East edition at Abu Dhabi (Best of Show and Gran Turismo Cup). The consignor also enjoyed the car in an organized driving event when it participated in the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic staged through the Dolomite Mountains in Italy during September 2022. Ideal for enjoyment on major vintage touring events and rallies, or presentation at world-class concours d’elegance, this outstanding show-awarded Europa is an important cornerstone of the 250 GT legend. It continues to benefit from Mr. Hoyt’s top-notch restoration, and it is desirably documented with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book that certifies the continued presence of the matching-numbers V-12 engine. Bona fide Maranello show cars presented by the manufacturer in period are only seldom offered in public, and this extremely special coachbuilt example would make a crowning acquisition for any connoisseur of significant 1950s Ferraris. For collectors in search of important prototypical examples of legendary post-war models, the availability of 0295 EU presents a unique opportunity for the knowledgeable tifoso. 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1988 BMW M3 PRODRIVE
M is for MOTORSPORT Audi has the Quattro, Mercedes the 190 Evoluzione, BMW the M3 E30: three 1980s models that marked the beginning of a fine tradition of sporty mid-size cars, equally at home on the track and on the road. In BMW's case, however, the first M3 is considered to be not just the mother of all M3s, but of all Ms in general. For even though it arrived a year after the first M5, it almost surpassed it in popularity, so much so that many believe that the dynasty of road cars created by BMW's Motorsport department was born with it. Launched in September 1986 as the E30, the first BMW M3 was initially designed for racing. It was such a commercial and sporting success that BMW Motorsport had to increase production rates and produced numerous versions. Even today, the BMW M3 E30 remains the undisputed emblem of the Bavarian brand's sporting image. The 1980’s saw BMW establish its models as "The Ultimate Driving Machines". Alongside its commercial success, BMW wanted to strengthen the image of its flagship model and establish its name in the FIA Group A championship. The 3 Series provided a suitable basis for developing a competition model, but it lacked the engine to do so. So naturally, the brand's Motorsport department was given the task of designing and building the 5,000 examples of the car needed for Group A homologation, all of which had to be built in 12 months. As early as 1985, talk began of a future super-sporty 3-series, provisionally named the M325i, capable of taking on the brand-new Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 and the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. The BMW M3 project began at the request of Eberhard von Kuenheim, head of Management at the time, who entrusted the technical director of BMW M GmbH, Paul Rosche, with the development of a high-performance engine. Thus, was born the BMW M3, a car designed entirely for motor sport, even if its road version had to preserve the comfort worthy of a good BMW tourer. The BMW M3 E30 put an end to much speculation when it made its debut at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Series production began in March 1986. The exterior appearance of the M3 E30 does not deceive the discerning eye. The aggressive look of the BMW M3 has undoubtedly influenced the fledgling world of tuning for years, but it reflects the spirit of sportiness that drives the creation of the Motorsport department. Nothing is superfluous, and every modification is justified by the needs of racing. When it comes to the M3, the best is inside. It began life in 1986 with the Type 23 4E A engine. This was a 2302 cm3 4-cylinder engine developing 195 bhp at 6750 rpm. This same block is closely derived from the one used in Formula 1 racing. It is in fact the 4-cylinder M10 block topped by the 4 valves per cylinder head of the M88 in-line 6-cylinder, which appeared in the famous M1 with 2 cylinders removed for the occasion. Lighter long connecting rods were used to limit lateral forces. This reduced vibrations and enabled the use of short-skirted pistons. The decision to use a 4-cylinder engine rather than the traditional Motorsport in-line 6 was originally taken for two reasons. The first was the obvious weight saving and better weight distribution, and the second was to be able to produce a lot of power at high revs thanks to a shorter and therefore stiffer crankshaft. The BMW M3's crankshaft is designed to exceed 10,000 rpm. With a maximum speed of 7,300 rpm, the production M3 engine could therefore offer the same reliability as any other engine in the range. The M3 E30 gave BMW a record 1436 victories in supertouring races, including one World, one European and two German championships from 1987 to 1992. Born to race, the M3 immediately made its mark in competition, with power reaching 300 bhp at 8,500 rpm and remarkable reliability. From its first appearance at the 24 Hours of Spa in 1987, the M3 entered by the manufacturer made a name for itself. At its wheel, Roberto Ravaglia won the World Touring Car Championship. BMW France then decided to enter a rally car the same year. Prepared by Prodrive, the M3 entered by the Béguin-Lenne team won the Critérium de Touraine, then went on to win the Corsica Rally, outclassing the all-wheel drive cars to claim a single World Championship victory. The BMW M3 Prodrive is based on a Group A vehicle, which was originally developed by BMW Motorsport for circuit racing, from which a civilian version was derived, which contained all the parameters, that had to be shared between the racing and road models according to the rules of that time. As the name suggests, this derivative was manufactured by the English company Prodrive for rally racing. The motives for going this route were quite clear. The year was 1986, and countless troubles related to the "cosmic" class of Group B vehicles in the rally clearly showed, that the following year, these overengineered monsters would be banned. At that time, Prodrive owned 6 MG Metro 6R4 vehicles - they invested considerable funds in something, that was basically unusable from the next season. David Richards, head of Prodrive, began looking for a project for the next few years, and since Group A, a more civilian rally cars than the Group B, had lived in rallies and circuits for some time, and they were supposed to be the future of rally, he turned his attention to them. Since they had only three-quarters of a year for a start of the project, negotiating, building and testing the race car, Prodrive naturally hunted in the waters of already homologated vehicles, even if not actively competing in a rally. One of the first candidates for a project car was BMW because of their promising project with the M3. However, it had one understandable disadvantage - it only had a rear-wheel drive. At first, the agreements were not the easiest - the plan to push for the homologation of the M3 variant with an all-wheel drive was quickly swept off the table. Moreover, BMW was not very attracted to the idea of dirty and beaten cars with their emblem on the hood. However, the discussions turned out to be quite successful in the end. BMW chose the same strategy as for the circuit races - it provided Prodrive with technical information and support, but the team had to take care of the operation itself. Since, without all-wheel drive, the car could have never been particularly successful on gravel, the strategy of building a car successful in local championships with a predominance of tarmac surfaces and with the support of local BMW dealerships was chosen. This also suited the titular sponsors of Prodrive - the cigarette colossus Rothmans. Of course, the circuit variant could not be put immediately at the start of the special stage of rally, as it may require a slower, but in all respects more versatile, car. The changes thus concerned the engine, which lost its peak power, by changing the camshafts and mapping, but gained more flexibility in the lower speed range. The initial variants reached an output of 275 hp, but, in the last specifications, it climbed up to 295 hp (the circuit variant in the top specification had 320 hp). The Prodrive engine was originally overhauled by BMW itself and decided to make its own modifications and repairs at a later stage of the project. Changes also took place in the transmission - originally, a five-speed Getrag 265 with a shorter final gear was used, but it was later replaced by a six-speed transmission of their own design.The car body also had to be modified. To everyone's surprise, the standard M3 was already very rigid, which was further enhanced by the roll cage. Bodies for BMW racing cars were then supplied by the French company Matter, which produced bodies for the M3 circuit versions. However, again, the frame met the circuit specifications and did not fully consider the use of a second seat in the car. The tank in the car was also scaled down, as rally races allow more frequent refueling. Major changes had to take place on the car's chassis. Bilstein circuit shock absorbers did not allow proper lifts, so the manufacturer, in cooperation with Prodrive, developed a new rally variant. The changes also affected the brakes - the massive front brakes were scaled down, while the rear brakes were enlarged. The reason is simple - a more balanced distribution of the braking effect between the axles is very beneficial with frequent changes in the adhesion of surfaces, which, logically, is not taken into account on the circuits. Another change concerned the central wheel nuts - they are very practical on the circuits, as they allow very fast wheel replacement in the pits. However, this replacement takes place with pneumatic guns, which deal with great forces and torques. The problem with this solution occurs at the moment of a standard wheel change with a wrench. The required torque for the disassembly is not easy to achieve and, due to the frequency of defects, and the associated possible wheel changes directly at the special stage, this would be a significant complication. The special tool would add weight to the car, which, of course, everyone resists. The first circuit special reached Banbury in December 1986, with the first rally race with French driver Bernard Béguin scheduled for March 1987 - the deadline was suicidal. The first race of the car was the March Rallye des Garrigues in France with the aforementioned Bernard Béguin behind the wheel. Although the premiere failed completely, as the car retired due to a fault in the electrical installation, the second start ended in third place and the third with a victory in the French championship. Meanwhile, the M3 duo, prepared by Prodrive, completed the start at the Circuit of Ireland. There, there was a problem with both cars with fuel pumps, which, according to initial notes, stopped distributing fuel in sharp left-hand turns. Before the important highlight of the season, the Tour de Corse, the team had a challenge to eliminate this flaw in the design. The team left for the Tour de Corse without these technical difficulties. This race was extremely important for the project, because in addition to part of the French championship, it was also a World Championship race. There was a lot of competition at the start, but due to the fact, that the track had a tarmac surface with the traditional characteristic "corner to corner", M3 could think of the highest places. In the starting list, Prodrive had two drivers - in addition to the local Béguin, they recruited the Belgian Marc Duez. From the very beginning, Béguin took the lead in the race, but the situation was complicated by the rain, which played into the note of the factory all-wheel drive Lancia Delta Integrale. However, with the track drying up, Béguin started to get on top again, and even the faster, but flawed, Jean Ragnotti with the factory front-wheel drive Renault 11 Turbo could not change that. The first start in the World Championship meant the first victory for M3, which meant great advertising for the whole project. Thanks to promising results, Béguin took second place overall in the 1987 in French championship. Duez was not so successful in Belgium and finished 8th. The 1988 season also brought absolute titles. Patrick Snijers, who went to Manx for the victory during the season, won the Belgian title. Béguin repeated the overall second place in France behind Auriol with his direct competitor - Ford Sierra RS Cosworth - and François Chatriot, formerly starting with the Renault 11 Turbo, was also very successful in the same championship, winning fourth overall place. In Italy, Andrea Zanussi was also very successful with the M3. The year 1989 was a championship for Chatriot in France and Duez in Belgium, yet it was clear in the start lists that the bag was torn with all-wheel drive cars and once their initial flaws were removed, there would be little chance of competing with the rear-wheel drive alone. This was confirmed the following year, when Chatriot repeated his triumph in France, but the Belgian drivers, known from the M3 cockpit, were already piloting all-wheel drive cars and the very fast Grégoire de Mevius was only in fifth place total. The year 1990 itself also marked the end of the M3 as their primary rally project for Prodrive. Great results came from working with a Japanese carmaker specializing in all-wheel drive cars, which wanted to make its products visible in the World Cup. This gave birth to perhaps the most famous era of this company from Oxfordshire. The carmaker was Subaru. A total of 11 competition M3s were built, of which 3 in gravel specifications, but these cars were also used on tarmac. Our BMW M3 Rallye Prodrive chassis P88-015, went to BMW France for François CHATRIOT and Michel PERRIN for the 1988 season. Their first outing was in the French Championship on the Behra Alpine Rally, where they finished second. They then competed in the Tour de Corse, where they finished 4th overall... The pair went on to take 1st place twice in the 1988 Rallye des Garrigues - Languedoc-Roussillon and the 1988 Rallye Alsace-Vosges. Then it was Marc DUEZ and Pierre THIMONIER who took the start of the 1988 Ypres 24 Hours Rally where they finished on the 3rd step of the podium... CHATRIOT / PERRIN were again at the start of the 1988 Critérium des Cévennes which resulted in a retirement due to a transmission problem and a second place on the 1988 Rallye du Var. François CHATRIOT finished 4th overall in the French championship that season, the winners being Didier AURIOL in a Ford and Bernard BEGUIN in an M3... It should be noted that Francois CHATRIOT and Michel PERRIN were French champions in 1989 and 1990 at the wheel of another Group A M3... which just shows how well-born the car was. In 1989, the car changed its livery to "FINA" and took part in the Tour de Corse with the Marc Duez & Alain Lopes, who finished 6th overall. In 1991 P88-015 was bought by Sabir GANY from La Reunion, after a few rallies on the island, he decided to take the step to the French mainland, having enlisted the services of "CARLOS" (famous BMW specialist). Sabir and CARLOS arrived in the Nord Pas de Calais region in 1992/1993, and quickly became the stars of the Nordic public... After an accident in 1994, everything possible was done to bring the car back to French rallying. Sabir and Carlos, with the help of Eric Douart, then a local BMW dealer, did everything they could to restore the car to its former glory. A new body from MATTER (official supplier of BMW body for Prodrive at the time) was fitted to the car's revised mechanicals, and a complete overhaul was carried out. The body was prepared and painted in the Nord (Ets Espace Grand Nord, Eric Douart's Subaru dealership), then brought to a workshop: START (a structure preparing competition vehicles, owned by 3 men, Sabir GANY, CARLOS and Jean-Michel. ...), and it was with a new deco that it started on the special stages of the Béthune rally in 1994. Sabir regularly took the car out on regional, national and international rallies until 1995. He then sold the car to Paul Molon, who sold it to Stephane Pallissier at the end of 1998. Both drivers continued to take the car out on regional and national rallies on a regular basis. It was almost 20 years ago that the current owner bought the car, and in turn entered it mainly in rallies in the North of France. Stored and restored to its 1988 configuration, the car was sporadically used in the Tour de Corse, in 2012 as the forerunner with François CHATRIOT again at the wheel during the Las Vegas Hoppeland national rally, or as a demonstration car during the 2016 Eifel rally.With more than 100 rally starts since 1988, including the famous French Championship and the Tour de Corse, and driven at times by some of the biggest names in the sport, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of rallying history, ready to drive with its valid, up-to-date HTP, and produced in only 11 examples. 1988 BMW M3 PRODRIVE Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This was confirmed the following year, when Chatriot repeated his triumph in France, but the Belgian drivers, known from the M3 cockpit, were already piloting all-wheel drive cars and the very fast Grégoire de Mevius was only in fifth place total. The year 1990 itself also marked the end of the M3 as their primary rally project for Prodrive. Great results came from working with a Japanese carmaker specializing in all-wheel drive cars, which wanted to make its products visible in the World Cup. This gave birth to perhaps the most famous era of this company from Oxfordshire. The carmaker was Subaru. A total of 11 competition M3s were built, of which 3 in gravel specifications, but these cars were also used on tarmac. Our BMW M3 Rallye Prodrive chassis P88-015, went to BMW France for François CHATRIOT and Michel PERRIN for the 1988 season. Their first outing was in the French Championship on the Behra Alpine Rally, where they finished second. They then competed in the Tour de Corse, where they finished 4th overall... The pair went on to take 1st place twice in the 1988 Rallye des Garrigues - Languedoc-Roussillon and the 1988 Rallye Alsace-Vosges. Then it was Marc DUEZ and Pierre THIMONIER who took the start of the 1988 Ypres 24 Hours Rally where they finished on the 3rd step of the podium... CHATRIOT / PERRIN were again at the start of the 1988 Critérium des Cévennes which resulted in a retirement due to a transmission problem and a second place on the 1988 Rallye du Var. François CHATRIOT finished 4th overall in the French championship that season, the winners being Didier AURIOL in a Ford and Bernard BEGUIN in an M3... It should be noted that Francois CHATRIOT and Michel PERRIN were French champions in 1989 and 1990 at the wheel of another Group A M3... which just shows how well-born the car was. In 1989, the car changed its livery to "FINA" and took part in the Tour de Corse with the Marc Duez & Alain Lopes, who finished 6th overall. In 1991 P88-015 was bought by Sabir GANY from La Reunion, after a few rallies on the island, he decided to take the step to the French mainland, having enlisted the services of "CARLOS" (famous BMW specialist). Sabir and CARLOS arrived in the Nord Pas de Calais region in 1992/1993, and quickly became the stars of the Nordic public... After an accident in 1994, everything possible was done to bring the car back to French rallying. Sabir and Carlos, with the help of Eric Douart, then a local BMW dealer, did everything they could to restore the car to its former glory. A new body from MATTER (official supplier of BMW body for Prodrive at the time) was fitted to the car's revised mechanicals, and a complete overhaul was carried out. The body was prepared and painted in the Nord (Ets Espace Grand Nord, Eric Douart's Subaru dealership), then brought to a workshop: START (a structure preparing competition vehicles, owned by 3 men, Sabir GANY, CARLOS and Jean-Michel. ...), and it was with a new deco that it started on the special stages of the Béthune rally in 1994. Sabir regularly took the car out on regional, national and international rallies until 1995. He then sold the car to Paul Molon, who sold it to Stephane Pallissier at the end of 1998. Both drivers continued to take the car out on regional and national rallies on a regular basis. It was almost 20 years ago that the current owner bought the car, and in turn entered it mainly in rallies in the North of France. Stored and restored to its 1988 configuration, the car was sporadically used in the Tour de Corse, in 2012 as the forerunner with François CHATRIOT again at the wheel during the Las Vegas Hoppeland national rally, or as a demonstration car during the 2016 Eifel rally.With more than 100 rally starts since 1988, including the famous French Championship and the Tour de Corse, and driven at times by some of the biggest names in the sport, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of rallying history, ready to drive with its valid, up-to-date HTP, and produced in only 11 examples.

- 1976 Jaguar XJ 4.2C
Where the E-type stood for pace, the XK for grace, the XJ stood for space. A wonderfully spacious tourer packed with class, Jaguar’s flagship where they loved to show off all their gadgets and new gizmos. The fastest four-seater in the world when the car first rolled off the assembly line. The car was rarely delivered as a coupé anyway, which now makes this a real collector’s item. Anyway, enough about investment and performance, let’s talk about what lasting impression this car leaves behind. After all, a Jaguar driver also knows that you have to drive this car with respect. That means that the sports hangover of yesteryear should purr quietly, not roar. It is sometimes said in the car world, the car looks like its owner. However, this tomcat also knows how to take the owner with her grandeur. Indeed, when you get in, you immediately get the feeling that you know about opera, wine, politics and poetry. Ours? Dutch delivered! A 6-cylinder what feels slightly more favourable in terms of consumption and weight ratio than the 12-cylinder and can still slot in well. Fully taken care of on the operating table so you can enjoy this classic car carefree. To top it all off, fully documented too!

- 1963 Aston Martin DB4
In many ways, the DB4 was the model that foretold Aston Martin’s future. Introduced in 1958, the saloon was entirely new from the ground-up; a newly designed chassis was fitted with all-round disc brakes, and the famous engineer Tadek Marek designed an all-new six-cylinder engine. All this was housed in a stunning saloon fastback body penned by Touring of Milan; it was this styling that would influence future Aston Martin models for many years to come. As the years progressed, Aston Martin continued to refine its star model; aficionados have separated the model into five distinct series. Upgrades to successive series included subtle body modifications including recessed rear lights, a lower bonnet scoop, and a new grille with vertical bars, in addition to the resolution of mechanical issues such as engine overheating. The DB4 GT was launched the following year in 1959, and was powered by 3,670 cc twin-overhead camshaft engine, breathing via three Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, and producing a claimed 302 brake horsepower at 6,000 rpm. In 1961, Aston Martin unveiled a convertible version of the DB4. With just 70 produced, the DB4 Convertible is one of Aston Martin’s rarer models. Delivered on 19 July 1963 to Aston Martin of Brooklands, Weybridge, chassis DB4C/1173/R was a very special example of the Series V Convertible. It left the factory in the stunning colour combination of Midnight Blue over a Red Connolly leather interior, complemented by optional chrome wire wheels and a Powr-Lok 3.31:1 differential. But what really set it apart was its powerplant, being the only example of its type to be fitted with a DB4 GT-specification engine by the Aston Martin factory. Collected by its first owner, Mr. Goodwin of Hale, Cheshire, chassis 1173/R was first registered with the number plate “70 GLB”. From 1963 to 1970, little is known about the history of this DB4, though factory service notes state in February 1967 that the GT engine was replaced due to failure and exchanged with a standard unit. Chassis DB4C/1173/R was clearly in regular use, with service notes from 1963 to 1971 showing more than 65,000 miles had been covered, with regular maintenance carried out. By the early 1970s, a Mr. Stroud of Hampstead, North London had acquired the car and re-registered it with the rather fitting “DB 4” number plate. Of note are period photographs depicting this DB4 at a farm, with Mr. Stroud posing next to chassis 1173/R alongside amateur racer Nick Cussons and his DB5. Stroud retained the car for just a few years before selling it to Hewlett Packard executive Marcel Cohen-Hadria, who had the car exported to California. Notes on the build sheet confirm that Cohen-Hadria owned the car from 1974 until 1977, before selling it to a gentleman in Connecticut. By 1984, The Aston Martin Register notes that the car had returned to the UK and was registered as “114 JGF”, then fitted with engine number 370/0692. Four years later, this DB4 Convertible was still in the UK, but no ownership details are recorded. At some point thereafter, this Aston Martin found its way back to the United States, and in July 2006 was owned by a gentleman in the state of Maine. The car was in need of total restoration, but still retained the supplying “Cheshire Sports Cars” dealership plate on the glove box—likely a relic from its first owner, Mr. Goodwin. Acquired by the current owner in 2014, the decision was taken to send chassis DB4C/1173/R to Aston Martin Works for a no-expenses-spared, concours-standard restoration. This DB4 is accompanied by an Aston Martin restoration certificate and book, detailing the thousands of hours spent returning the car to its factory specification, documenting stages from paintwork through to the creation of a new “SS” (Special Series) engine block and “GT” cylinder head. During the restoration, Aston Martin began by assessing the condition of the car, before deciding to carry out a bare metal restoration of the body. The bulk of the bodywork was replaced due to its condition; using traditional methods; brand new panels were fabricated by hand. The body was finished in the factory-correct colour of Midnight Blue, and the original interior was re-upholstered in the correct Red Connolly leather. The engine in the car was not of the correct type and was subsequently removed. A new “SS-type” block was fitted, alongside a “GT” cylinder head, meaning that the car is now powered by a GT-specification engine, correct of the type it originally left the Newport Pagnell factory with. The braking and suspension systems were entirely overhauled, and a new wide ratio gearbox was installed. Every facet of the DB4 was touched by the highly skilled team at Aston Martin Works, and part-way through the restoration in 2019, the car was displayed on the firm’s stand at Rétromobile in Paris. By 2022, three long years of work had been completed, and this DB4 Convertible left the workshop in concours condition. The car received an Aston Martin restoration certificate, and leather-bound book detailing the immense amount of work taken to restore the car. The Aston Martin is accompanied by a copy of the build sheet, previous titles, and digital copies of period photographs. Chassis DB4C/1173/R represents the sole chance to acquire the one and only DB4 Convertible fitted with a “GT” engine supplied by the factory. Now beautifully restored by Aston Martin Works, this drop-top DB4 will surely be the pride of its new owner. 1963 Aston Martin DB4 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright In many ways, the DB4 was the model that foretold Aston Martin’s future. Introduced in 1958, the saloon was entirely new from the ground-up; a newly designed chassis was fitted with all-round disc brakes, and the famous engineer Tadek Marek designed an all-new six-cylinder engine. All this was housed in a stunning saloon fastback body penned by Touring of Milan; it was this styling that would influence future Aston Martin models for many years to come. As the years progressed, Aston Martin continued to refine its star model; aficionados have separated the model into five distinct series. Upgrades to successive series included subtle body modifications including recessed rear lights, a lower bonnet scoop, and a new grille with vertical bars, in addition to the resolution of mechanical issues such as engine overheating. The DB4 GT was launched the following year in 1959, and was powered by 3,670 cc twin-overhead camshaft engine, breathing via three Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, and producing a claimed 302 brake horsepower at 6,000 rpm. In 1961, Aston Martin unveiled a convertible version of the DB4. With just 70 produced, the DB4 Convertible is one of Aston Martin’s rarer models. Delivered on 19 July 1963 to Aston Martin of Brooklands, Weybridge, chassis DB4C/1173/R was a very special example of the Series V Convertible. It left the factory in the stunning colour combination of Midnight Blue over a Red Connolly leather interior, complemented by optional chrome wire wheels and a Powr-Lok 3.31:1 differential. But what really set it apart was its powerplant, being the only example of its type to be fitted with a DB4 GT-specification engine by the Aston Martin factory. Collected by its first owner, Mr. Goodwin of Hale, Cheshire, chassis 1173/R was first registered with the number plate “70 GLB”. From 1963 to 1970, little is known about the history of this DB4, though factory service notes state in February 1967 that the GT engine was replaced due to failure and exchanged with a standard unit. Chassis DB4C/1173/R was clearly in regular use, with service notes from 1963 to 1971 showing more than 65,000 miles had been covered, with regular maintenance carried out. By the early 1970s, a Mr. Stroud of Hampstead, North London had acquired the car and re-registered it with the rather fitting “DB 4” number plate. Of note are period photographs depicting this DB4 at a farm, with Mr. Stroud posing next to chassis 1173/R alongside amateur racer Nick Cussons and his DB5. Stroud retained the car for just a few years before selling it to Hewlett Packard executive Marcel Cohen-Hadria, who had the car exported to California. Notes on the build sheet confirm that Cohen-Hadria owned the car from 1974 until 1977, before selling it to a gentleman in Connecticut. By 1984, The Aston Martin Register notes that the car had returned to the UK and was registered as “114 JGF”, then fitted with engine number 370/0692. Four years later, this DB4 Convertible was still in the UK, but no ownership details are recorded. At some point thereafter, this Aston Martin found its way back to the United States, and in July 2006 was owned by a gentleman in the state of Maine. The car was in need of total restoration, but still retained the supplying “Cheshire Sports Cars” dealership plate on the glove box—likely a relic from its first owner, Mr. Goodwin. Acquired by the current owner in 2014, the decision was taken to send chassis DB4C/1173/R to Aston Martin Works for a no-expenses-spared, concours-standard restoration. This DB4 is accompanied by an Aston Martin restoration certificate and book, detailing the thousands of hours spent returning the car to its factory specification, documenting stages from paintwork through to the creation of a new “SS” (Special Series) engine block and “GT” cylinder head. During the restoration, Aston Martin began by assessing the condition of the car, before deciding to carry out a bare metal restoration of the body. The bulk of the bodywork was replaced due to its condition; using traditional methods; brand new panels were fabricated by hand. The body was finished in the factory-correct colour of Midnight Blue, and the original interior was re-upholstered in the correct Red Connolly leather. The engine in the car was not of the correct type and was subsequently removed. A new “SS-type” block was fitted, alongside a “GT” cylinder head, meaning that the car is now powered by a GT-specification engine, correct of the type it originally left the Newport Pagnell factory with. The braking and suspension systems were entirely overhauled, and a new wide ratio gearbox was installed. Every facet of the DB4 was touched by the highly skilled team at Aston Martin Works, and part-way through the restoration in 2019, the car was displayed on the firm’s stand at Rétromobile in Paris. By 2022, three long years of work had been completed, and this DB4 Convertible left the workshop in concours condition. The car received an Aston Martin restoration certificate, and leather-bound book detailing the immense amount of work taken to restore the car. The Aston Martin is accompanied by a copy of the build sheet, previous titles, and digital copies of period photographs. Chassis DB4C/1173/R represents the sole chance to acquire the one and only DB4 Convertible fitted with a “GT” engine supplied by the factory. Now beautifully restored by Aston Martin Works, this drop-top DB4 will surely be the pride of its new owner.

- 1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV
Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, the 105’s clean and distinctive design is one of the most attractive small coupes of the 1960s and 70s. The 2000 GTV was the final incarnation of the original design and benefited from Alfa Romeo’s larger 1932cc twin cam, all-aluminium, four-cylinder 1932cc engine. It produced an impressive 132 bhp along with a good level of useable torque which ensured the cars performance was better than many sports cars of the era. Our example is in its original and attractive colour combination of Amaranto with ‘natural’ interior and was first delivered in May 1972 to London, as confirmed by the Certificate of Origin which accompanies the car. The certificate also confirms the original engine is still with the car. It has spent much of its life in Australia, and we believe it first arrived in Perth before moving to Brisbane in the early 2000’s. From there is has been in the ownership of a number of known ‘Alfisti’ who have kept it in wonderful order. The current owner acquired the car in 2013 and due to the need to thin down his collection he has made the decision to sell one of his Alfa Romeo’s. The car has clearly seen the benefit of much work and expenditure in the past including new paint and mechanical work and still presents extremely well to this day. The body is in excellent all-round condition and the panel gaps are spot on. There are no signs of corrosion in the car and even underneath shows no signs of any previous repairs. It is the best we have seen. All the stainless steel brightwork is in wonderful order and sets the car off beautifully. The period correct Campagnolo alloy wheels are unmarked and are an attractive addition to the car. The interior is just lovely with everything as it should be. An unmarked steering wheel greets you and the dash and dials are something that just looks perfect to the eye. Whilst the seats appear original, they are unmarked and in quite remarkable order as is all the timber veneer, doors handles, winders, carpets and switches. The odometer reads 82,664 miles, and whilst it is difficult to confirm as original, the condition of the interior and engine bay certainly suggests this. The dashboard is perfect with no cracks and the instrument binnacle look spot on with only a little frosting to the rev counter cover, but this is being picky. The headlining is in excellent order with no rips or discolouration. Turn the key and the engine fires up to a familiar Alfa growl. Out on the open road this car is just superb. The gearbox is excellent with no issues with the synchro’s. It is accurate, smooth, and quick to work through the gears and using it is quite addictive. The engine is responsive and pulls extremely well with the 2-litre engine delivering a more spirited drive. Having spoken with 3 of its previous owners they all commented how well this car always performed. This is one well sorted car and a driver’s delight. It begs to be taken out in the hills for a good blast. The engine bay is clean and appealing to the eye. The boot is currently fitted with carpet but a correct rubber replacement can easily be sourced should the next owner wish to bring it back to its original state. The car has just been serviced by an Alfa Romeo specialist who commented how good the car was. These 105’s are great driver’s cars, and we can see why they are so sought after. Freshly restored cars are still fetching well north of $100,000 and this car represents good buying. This exceptional 2000 GTV is serviced, on the button and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. 1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1967-ferrari-275-gtb4-1
According to marque historian Marcel Massini, this Ferrari 275 GTB/4 completed factory assembly in July 1967, finished in Rosso Chiaro with a Nero Vaumol leather interior. As approximately the 140th example built, the berlinetta was distributed in September 1967 to Société Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari (SAVAF), the Swiss Ferrari importer in Geneva, owned by renowned racing team sponsor Georges Filipinetti. By 1970, the GTB/4 was exported to Algar Enterprises in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a distinguished Ferrari dealership founded by Al Garthwaite. Shortly after, it was sold to Kirk White in Philadelphia as part of a deal that included a 275 GTS and a 250 GTO. In June 1973, the Ferrari changed hands to Nicholas Simpson of Sterling, Colorado, and by October 1974, it was acquired by Daniel and Leo Shannon of Loveland, Colorado. Mr. Shannon commissioned several mechanical updates, including an engine and transaxle rebuild, an electrical overhaul, a new clutch, and fresh Borrani wire wheels. After these improvements, the car was listed for sale in December 1975 and purchased by Ferrari collector Joseph Moch of Grand Rapids, Michigan, whose collection included a 375 America Coupe, a 250 GT Europa, and a 250 GT California Spider. By 1984, the berlinetta was owned by Jean Banchet, a renowned French chef in Wheeling, Illinois, known for his acclaimed restaurant La Francais. A year later, it underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by John Hajduk of Motorkraft in Indiana. Around 1988, the Ferrari was acquired by Jake Weaver of Jackson, Mississippi, who maintained it meticulously. When he offered it for sale five years later, he described it as “beautifully maintained.” In 1993, Bill Mitchell of Colleyville, Texas, purchased chassis 10147, keeping it for at least four years while commissioning an interior reupholstering by Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas. In March 1998, the Ferrari was acquired by James Malouin of Banning, California, who soon entrusted a full engine rebuild to Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis in Berkeley, California. The $30,000 restoration included extensive work on the block, cylinders, crankshaft, carburetors, fuel pumps, clutch, radiator, steering box, brakes, and shocks. The Borrani wire wheels were properly rebuilt and fitted with Michelin XWX tires. The car also received a new Rosso exterior finish, applied by a former Straman Coachworks employee. Malouin retained the Ferrari for five years before selling it in 2003. By May 2005, the car was owned by Beth LeQuin and Bruce Miller of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Miller presented it at the Third Annual Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley, California, in August 2005. Later that year, the berlinetta was purchased by Steve Wolf and moved to Boca Raton, Florida. Between late 2010 and 2011, the 275 GTB/4 underwent a significant cosmetic restoration, including paint refinishing and an interior retrim. In March 2011, it was offered at Amelia Island and purchased by Canepa Motorsports in Paradise Valley, California. Following a detailed refinement, Canepa sold the Ferrari to Jeff Lotman of Los Angeles, who later showcased it at the FCA National Field and Driving Concours in Palm Springs in October 2011. Around this time, the car received Ferrari Classiche certification, securing a Red Book that verified it retained all of its original factory-issued matching-numbers mechanical components, including the original Tipo 213 V-12 engine. An automatic entry into any concours event, a 275 4-Cam is a must have for a collection. 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 GT Motor Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright According to marque historian Marcel Massini, this Ferrari 275 GTB/4 completed factory assembly in July 1967, finished in Rosso Chiaro with a Nero Vaumol leather interior. As approximately the 140th example built, the berlinetta was distributed in September 1967 to Société Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari (SAVAF), the Swiss Ferrari importer in Geneva, owned by renowned racing team sponsor Georges Filipinetti. By 1970, the GTB/4 was exported to Algar Enterprises in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a distinguished Ferrari dealership founded by Al Garthwaite. Shortly after, it was sold to Kirk White in Philadelphia as part of a deal that included a 275 GTS and a 250 GTO. In June 1973, the Ferrari changed hands to Nicholas Simpson of Sterling, Colorado, and by October 1974, it was acquired by Daniel and Leo Shannon of Loveland, Colorado. Mr. Shannon commissioned several mechanical updates, including an engine and transaxle rebuild, an electrical overhaul, a new clutch, and fresh Borrani wire wheels. After these improvements, the car was listed for sale in December 1975 and purchased by Ferrari collector Joseph Moch of Grand Rapids, Michigan, whose collection included a 375 America Coupe, a 250 GT Europa, and a 250 GT California Spider. By 1984, the berlinetta was owned by Jean Banchet, a renowned French chef in Wheeling, Illinois, known for his acclaimed restaurant La Francais. A year later, it underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by John Hajduk of Motorkraft in Indiana. Around 1988, the Ferrari was acquired by Jake Weaver of Jackson, Mississippi, who maintained it meticulously. When he offered it for sale five years later, he described it as “beautifully maintained.” In 1993, Bill Mitchell of Colleyville, Texas, purchased chassis 10147, keeping it for at least four years while commissioning an interior reupholstering by Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas. In March 1998, the Ferrari was acquired by James Malouin of Banning, California, who soon entrusted a full engine rebuild to Ferrari specialist Patrick Ottis in Berkeley, California. The $30,000 restoration included extensive work on the block, cylinders, crankshaft, carburetors, fuel pumps, clutch, radiator, steering box, brakes, and shocks. The Borrani wire wheels were properly rebuilt and fitted with Michelin XWX tires. The car also received a new Rosso exterior finish, applied by a former Straman Coachworks employee. Malouin retained the Ferrari for five years before selling it in 2003. By May 2005, the car was owned by Beth LeQuin and Bruce Miller of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Miller presented it at the Third Annual Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley, California, in August 2005. Later that year, the berlinetta was purchased by Steve Wolf and moved to Boca Raton, Florida. Between late 2010 and 2011, the 275 GTB/4 underwent a significant cosmetic restoration, including paint refinishing and an interior retrim. In March 2011, it was offered at Amelia Island and purchased by Canepa Motorsports in Paradise Valley, California. Following a detailed refinement, Canepa sold the Ferrari to Jeff Lotman of Los Angeles, who later showcased it at the FCA National Field and Driving Concours in Palm Springs in October 2011. Around this time, the car received Ferrari Classiche certification, securing a Red Book that verified it retained all of its original factory-issued matching-numbers mechanical components, including the original Tipo 213 V-12 engine. An automatic entry into any concours event, a 275 4-Cam is a must have for a collection.

- 1973-ferrari-dino-246-gt-2
Supplied new to the UK in 1973, this example was a special order optioned in Marrone Dino Metallizzato 106.M.73 over Beige Connolly leather VM3218. At the time of order, this 246 GT further optioned with 7 ½ inch sand cast Campagnolo wheels and the resulting, 1 of just 10 UK supplied ‘flares’ examples. Ordered new through Dick Lovett, this would without doubt have stood out from the crowd! By 1990 the Dino was in need of a restoration and then owner Mr Rombouts-Howitt would embark on a ten-year restoration project with Grand Tourismo Services of Egham. Metalwork was carried out by Dino-specialists Prestige Metal Works, documented by a wealth of invoices on file, as well as for parts purchased from Maranello Concessionaires between 1990 and 2000. The restorative works further included an engine rebuild. The Dino was refinished in Giallo over Nero and fitted with ‘chairs’ at this time. DK Engineering sold this 246 GT to its current custodian in October 2005 with a mileage reading 33,100 miles. The car was placed into storage forming part of a significant collection at the time and has since covered just 200 miles since. Extracted from storage by DK in March 2025, this example has since been through our workshops and will receive a fresh and thorough service as a part of the sale. Presenting well, this Dino will afford the new custodian a fabulous example to improve further or return to its original colours. This 246 Dino is 1 of just 10 UK supplied factory ‘flares’ examples and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GT D.K.

- 1963-alfa-romeo-giulia-1600-spider-4
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider was launched to the public at Monza in March 1962 and proved to be an instant success due to its “Pininfarina” styling. The Spider shares many of the Alfa Giulia mechanicals including its twin cam inline four-cylinder engine enlarged from 1290cc to 1570cc. A five-speed gearbox was standard fitment and boasted spirited performance with a claimed top speed of 109mph from its 92bhp engine. The Alfa Romeo Guilia Spider offered here at Autostorico is one of only 404 original “RHD” examples. This example was supplied new in Jersey in April 1964. Finished in its original colour of Grigio with Rosso interior trim, this beautiful car was purchased by its current owner an Alfa enthusiast in 2023. The car was then subject to a major restoration. The owner commissioned works to the mechanicals and body regardless of cost. The engine and gearbox were totally stripped down and rebuilt including fitting an Alfaholics stainless steel exhaust system and manifold. Other works include a bare metal respray by Adam Redding Classic Cars, full re-trim including seats and new hood, re-wire, brake and suspension overhaul along with fitting new stainless steel bumpers. Remaining in what can only be described as stunning condition this Guilia Spider not only represents one of the finest examples in Britain but also drives extremely well. Offered for sale with a current V5 certificate. Accompanying the car is a history file, which includes various invoices. A truly unique opportunity to own such an iconic Italian classic, which will only appreciate further over time. 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
