When Jaguar unveiled the XKE at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, everything changed in the world of sports cars. Breathtaking design, unrivaled performance, and racing lineage made the XKE an immediate sensation. Beautiful and popular, the XKE proved even more spectacular, setting records, and posting victories all over the world. In the same tradition that Jaguar built the original lightweight race cars, recognized experts in period correct XKE craftsmanship and performance enhancements, together with the commissioning owner, spared no expense creating this superb tribute to Jaguars’ legendary XKE Lightweight Coupe. This car was originally commissioned and built to an incredibly high specification for world renowned collector, Paul Michaels, of Hexagon fame. Developed by recognized experts in period correct XKE craftsmanship and performance enhancements, together with the commissioning owner, the team spared no expense creating this superb tribute to Jaguars’ legendary XKE Lightweight Coupe. Beginning with a sound road car, this Series 1 coupe was comprehensively disassembled and reconfigured to full Lightweight standards including extensive modifications to the engine, body, suspension, electronic systems, cooling system, brakes, and interior. The hand-crafted car was completed in the early 2000s to impeccable standards by top fabrication specialists, following closely to factory specifications while using authentic parts. Following final modification, enhancements, and restoration works by Eagle for performance and safety resulted in this beautifully constructed Eagle-Engineered Lightweight Conversion. As might be expected, the construction history surrounding the build is both technically impressive and artfully engaging. Beginning with the body, the structural steel core was retained while a set of custom RS hand-formed alloy body panels (alloy hood, doors, rear arches, and trunk lid) were fitted to the steel structure. A set of lightweight peg-drive Dunlop-type magnesium wheels were fitted, and the engine was comprehensively built by Rob Beere, upgraded to 4.7 Liter specifications. Engine improvements included a big valve cylinder head with Sport cams, Sport lightened and balanced engine components, gas flowed head with matched ports, a gated anti-surge pump, and big-bore tubular exhaust manifolds. The engine was mounted using specially fabricated Sport mounts, a harmonic crankshaft damper, electronic ignition with performance plug leads, and a modern performance electric fuel pump. Cooling was improved using a modern cooling fan, lightweight alloy radiator, brass water tank, and Kevlar reinforced cooling hoses. The 4.7 Liter engine was dyno-tuned returning 307 hp at the rear wheels with more than 300 ft/pounds of torque from 3,200 to 5,200 rpm. An all synchro 5-speed Getrag gearbox was installed along with a 3.07:1 rear end. Brakes and suspension were upgraded as well with a high-powered stainless-steel shielded brake booster, AP front alloy brake calipers with 315mm ventilated rotors with adjustable brake bias. GT torsion bars and springs, GT sway bars and bushings, polyurethane radius arm and arb bushings, Eagle Sport radius arm conversion, and billet aluminum steering rack mounts were also installed. Additional features included Spax adjustable shocks, high output charging system with 75-amp alternator, a lightweight geared starter motor, and halogen headlights. The resultant performance enhancements and build exceeded $100,000.00 at the time of construction. Upon completion, Paul Michaels enjoyed the car, successfully participating in a variety of European tours, covering some 4,687 kms (2,912 miles). Around this time, Mr. Michaels was fortunate to purchase 86 PJ, an exceptional original and genuine factory lightweight, one of just twelve originally built. Michaels then commissioned Eagle, world renowned E-type experts, to carry out a comprehensive sympathetic restoration to the original lightweight and further engaged Eagle to sell this Lightweight Coupe. Eagle, most well known for their ‘Eagle E-Types’, including their own Lightweight inspired ‘Special Editions’, also offer carefully selected previously restored E-types, which can be crafted with unique and exclusive access to a range of Eagle engineering features as well as full Eagle commissions. As is the case with this offering, these cars, such as the example offered here, are uniquely branded as the "Eagle Engineered E-type”. With Michaels’ Eagle presented on exclusive offer, Eagle soon found a new owner in California. The new owner then engaged Eagle to apply their bespoke rear suspension ‘Sport specification’ upgrades to the car and to rebuild the suspension unit at the same time. Concurrent with other upgrades already fitted, the outcome mirrored the specifications of an "Eagle GT", this work was completed on 25 Nov 2004 and numbered as “Eagle-Engineered E-Type”, assigned number 41, and an Eagle GT badge was added to the center console. At this time, a dozen or so of the full, totally in house restored Eagle E-types had been completed and delivered. The Eagle Engineered option was introduced due to lead times for a completed commission running into several years. The car was brought to California, titled, and registered as a 1963 Jaguar for the new owner, who enjoyed the car for two years, driving it frequently. An avid vintage performance car enthusiast, the northern California owner engaged professional Jaguar performance specialists to service and upgrade the car as needed including regular fluids and interval services, including fluid exchanges, brake fluid flush, and seal replacement, a new electronic ignition kit, SU carburetor tuning, ammeter repair, water pump rebuild, various gaskets replaced, cooling system serviced, and various electrical wiring improved. In 2006 The car was then sold through Fantasy Junction to the third post-construction owner, who retained it for 14 years, enjoying it sparingly. In 2022, Fantasy Junction offered the car for sale again. At that time, 4,100 miles were indicated. The second post-build owner then repurchased the car making him both the second and fourth owner of record since the build. Under his ownership in November 2022 with 4,550 miles indicated, experts at American Classics and Performance, Cotati, CA performed approximately $29,000.00 worth of detailed services. Beginning the process, the top end of the engine was disassembled, and the head removed for a professional valve job, during reassembly the cam gears and upper chain tensioner were reinstalled with adjustments made, and the oil and filter changed. A new set of spark plugs was installed, and the engine was cleaned and prepped along with various items refinished as needed before complete reassembly. Additional work included replacing all fuel hoses, carburetor service including new floats, matched needles, tuning and synchronizing the carburetors, installing air/fuel meter, new screens for the velocity stacks, a new brake light switch, new battery, and new cooling hoses. The car also received a new fuel tank with new fuel hoses, the clutch slave and master cylinder were rebuilt, a new set of Avon tires (invoiced at separate cost) were balanced and mounted, and all four wheels were powder coated for increased durability. In late 2023 Fantasy Junction had the opportunity to place this example for a third consecutive time, this time with a seasoned enthusiast on the East Coast. Having owned and vigorously exercised both his original Ford GT40 on the track, and Ferrari 250 SWB on the road, the current and consigning owner recognized just how well this Eagle-Engineered example walked the line between a performance street car and visceral race car. Using it both in organized rally events as well as casual touring, updates and further refinements under his ownership continued with regular fluids changes, the sourcing of stock rear radius arms for a more plush long distance driving stance (included with the sale), polishing of the DOHC valve covers, and the fitment of Crow four point competition harness for both the driver and the passenger. In total, 6,250 miles have been added to the odometer since the 2004 completion on behalf of Mr. Michaels. Today the car presents as a spectacular example combining authentic aspects in tribute to the original Lightweight themes with impressive contemporary upgrades and excellent finishes throughout. The paint was done to a very high standard, with excellent gloss and consistent coverage, now showing just minor evidence of mellowing and enjoyable use. Panel fit and gaps are excellent in all aspects of body construction including the muscular riveted alloy rear fenders, smooth alloy nose, and alloy doors. With the front and rear bumpers removed, the body design is even more elegant and purposeful as a competition statement. The lighting, lenses, and windshield are in excellent condition including the leather bonnet latches, one of many handsome vintage touches. The recently refinished magnesium wheels and new Avon tires add to the authentic stance and presence. The exposed rivet construction, outside alloy filler cap, and smoothed front/rear finishes all contribute to the competition presence of this Eagle-Engineered Lightweight Conversion. The interior of the car is as carefully thought out and as nicely detailed as the exterior. Opening the lightweight aluminum doors, the competition inspired interior is comfortable, not sparse, conveying the perfect balance of racing and road-going excellence. The seats are wrapped in supple green leather accompanied by 5-point seat harnesses, a leather wrapped central tunnel, black low-pile carpeting, and a stock XKE dashboard trimmed with green and black accents completes the interior finishes. Modest use is evident in the interior mostly to the driver’s side seat bolster which shows some wear from entry and exit. The wood steering wheel is slightly larger in diameter to allow improved rigidity under more spirited driving. The 5-speed Getrag gearbox is topped with an alloy shift knob and traditionally fitted with a matching green leather boot. A roll bar is installed, green headliner affixed to the inner roof panel and rear hatch, a modern fire system is in place, and a matching Dunlop type spare tire is located under the rear hatch panel. The interior exhibits a nice blend of vintage competition Jaguars, with just enough comfort to enjoy driving without the harshness of typical competition cars. Lifting the lightweight aluminum hood, the engine and engine bay reveals the 4.7 Liter engine with details prepared in homage to the original. Though recently freshened with a valve job and other engine refinements, the engine retains a unified patina consistent with competition cars including heat toned header exhaust and buff aluminum finishes. Here too upgraded features have been thoughtfully installed for reliable use. Conceived and built with combined road and rally/touring use in mind, the engine systems are all easily accessed and modern upgrades including electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, modern alternator, and cooling enhancements (alloy radiator and electric fan) have proven to be appropriately specified. Further features include recently tuned triple SU carburetors, traditional Lucas Engineering branded features, new fuel and cooling hoses, and a new battery. The underside of the car is very clean, nicely sorted, and appropriately finished reflective of the miles and use reported since the build was completed. The car starts and drives very well. The 4.7 Liter engine is very strong with very quick throttle response and yet still usable for general driving, tours, or light duty track days. The 5-speed gearbox is a full synchro Getrag unit which operates smoothly and allows for 80+ mph in overdrive 5th gear while the straight-six calms hums at only 2400 rpm. The brakes and steering are very well dialed in and the 3.07:1 rear end is suitable for highway use. In all, the driving experience is both invigorating and delightful, feeling very much like a competition car, in looks and heritage, but delivering a satisfying road manner that a capable driver can enjoy with confidence. The car is accompanied by numerous copies of build documentation, copies of invoices for recent services, Eagle-Engineering specifications sheets, dyno sheet, magazine articles, a series of photographs showing the build including body work and engine build, a car cover, a reprinted owner's manual, and a set of tools in a tool roll. For anyone seeking an exciting competition inspired car with vintage presence, this Jaguar XKE Eagle-Engineered Lightweight Conversion offers a unique design coupled with wonderful driving manners and superb performance that is sure to please any Jaguar performance enthusiast. 1963 Jaguar XKE Eagle-Engineered Lightweight Conversion 4.7 Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Having been beautifully and painstakingly restored by renowned German specialist Thomas Weber, this Aston Martin DB2/4 is now being offered for sale in exceptional condition. Chassis number LML/853 was sold new via Berkeley Motors in Bristol and its guarantee was issued on 24 November 1954. Its first owner was AHL Eccles, who lived in South Wales – its registration number of LCY 434 was issued in Swansea. Its continuation logbook shows that it was owned by a Mr Baxter in 1973, and by 1982 it was owned by F Somer in London. The Aston Martin was then acquired by Thomas Weber in 2012, and he embarked on a thorough restoration that was carried out to the very highest standard. The DB2/4 was completely stripped down, with the body being removed from the chassis. Both of them were sandblasted back to bare metal, the bulkhead was renewed, and sections of metalwork that were replaced included the rear wheelarches, door skins, floors and sills. The original six-cylinder engine was rebuilt using forged con-rods and pistons, plus new cylinder liners, and a new aluminium cylinder head was fitted. The gearbox was rebuilt using new bearings, seals and – where necessary – synchroniser rings, and the rear axle was also rebuilt. The brake and fuel systems were both overhauled, a new wiring harness was fitted, all of the original brightwork was rechromed, and the interior was retrimmed. The DB2/4 is now presented in its original colour scheme of black with green interior, and the extremely high quality of the restoration is apparent wherever you look. Now being offered for sale with a full photographic record of its rebuild, this Aston Martin DB2/4 is truly stunning example of this handsome and versatile 1950s British sports car. 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Built in 1988 for the Trust Racing Team in Japan for the All-Japan Sports Prototype Championship (JSPC), using the ultra-stiff and ultra-fast Richard Lloyd Racing (RLR) tub, as penned by Nigel Stroud. With RLR's engineering genius, and development in Japan, the car would tackle both JSPC and the Japanese rounds of the World Sports Car Championship, taking on the best the world had to offer in Group C racing. Drivers George Fouché, Steven Andskar, Sarel van der Merwe, Syunji Kasuya, Paolo Barilla and Eje Elgh would see great success with the car from 1988 to 1991, including multiple podiums - helping Porsche to the manufacturer's titles in 1988 and '89. During those 4 years of competing in the JSPC, the Nisseki Trust Porsche 962 would go onto become one of the iconic 'poster cars' of the series. Following its retirement in 1992, the car would go into a private Japanese collection. Today the car has the potential of being an overall winner in historic Group C all over Europe, and of course the incredible Le Mans Classic. 3.2L water/water engine Results 1988 JSPC 3/6 Fuji Ret TRUST NISSEKI 1988 JSPC 4/10 Suzuka 2nd TRUST NISSEKI 1988 JSPC 5/1 Fuji Ret TRUST NISSEKI 1988 JSPC 7/24 Fuji Ret TRUST NISSEKI 1988 JSPC 8/28 Suzuka 15th TRUST NISSEKI 1988 JSPC 10/9 Fuji 10th TRUST NISSEKI 1989 JSPC 3/12 Fuji Ret TRUST NISSEKI 1989 FIA WSPC 4/9 Suzuka 13th RLR TRUST NISSEKI 1989 JSPC 4/30 Fuji 2nd TRUST NISSEKI 1989 JSPC 7/23 Fuji 2nd TRUST NISSEKI 1989 JSPC 10/8 Fuji 2nd TRUST NISSEKI 1989 JSPC 12/3 Suzuka 5th TRUST NISSEKI 1990 JSPC 3/11 Fuji 3rd TRUST NISSEKI 1990 FIA WSPC 4/8 Suzuka 7th BRUN TRUST NISSEKI 1991 FIA WSPC 4/14 Suzuka 8th COURAGE TRUST TAKASU CLINIC 1991 JSPC 5/5 Fuji 4th TRUST NISSEKI 1991 JSPC 7/21 Fuji 5th TRUST NISSEKI 1991 JSPC 8/25 Suzuka 5th TRUST NISSEKI 1991 JSPC 9/15 Sugo 4th TRUST NISSEKI 1991 JSPC 10/6 Fuji 5th TRUST NISSEKI 1991 FIA WSPC 10/27 Autopolis 8th COURAGE TRUST NISSEKI 1991 JSPC 11/3 Sugo 7th TRUST NISSEKI 1988 Porsche 962 C Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Chassis 660449 was race-prepared by the Jaguar Factory for the 1951 Le Mans 24hr – running race number 21, in sequence with the works C-types. At the event it became the first ever XK120 to run on wire wheels, and was equipped with many unique factory features, including Le Mans fuel filler, C-type head and three large access holes in the bonnet. It is one of only five XK120's ever to race at Le Mans, and is the highest placed of all, taking 11th overall. Now in concours condition, ‘AEN 546’ is eligible for the world’s greatest events, including Mille Miglia, Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic. And importantly, it continues to wear its original Le Mans registration of 'AEN 546'. 2023 marks 75 years of the XK120, and AEN would surely be the belle of any 120 anniversary ball! 1951 Jajuar XK120 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Chassis M3/1-154 was built by Schnitzer Motorsport for the BMW Works team to full Group A specification to contest the 1990 Italian Superturismo Championship (Campionato Italiano Superturismo). Roberto Ravaglia was the driver nominated by the BMW factory to drive chassis '154', and over the 10 double-header weekends of the 1990 championship, the Italian managed a dominant 7 overall wins and 9 podiums, taking the overall championship win. Also driven by former motorcycle world champion, F1 driver and touring car legend Johnny Cecotto in that same year, 154's next success came at the 1990 Macau Guia race, driven by Emanuele Pirro and Joakhim Winkelhock, who came second overall, winning their class. Subsequently sold to Tierry Tassin who used the car to compete in the 1991 and 1992 Belgian Procar Championship, under the 'Batibouw BMW' banner. In recent years, the car was restored by BMW M3 Group A/DTM expert Christian Löhr during his time at Zakspeed. A rare opportunity to acquire an ex-works, championship-winning BMW M3, with unquestionable history. 1990 BMW M3 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Sharing many components with the 330 GTC (two-seater), the 330 GT 2+2 is appreciated for its ease of use in true Grand Tourer style. Its drivable GT status is enhanced with factory-fitted five-speed gearbox and power windows. This Beautiful 330GT 2+2 we are offering was sold new in Italy and is 1 of the 125 'interim series 1's' that came with the new 5 speed gearbox, drop pedals, upgraded brakes and power windows. Successively owned by Angelo Panichi and Ada Gregnoldo, followed by Maria Luisa Castagna, who was only 29 years old at the time, the car then had just 14,000 kilometers on the odometer. Many years later, in 1996, the car took the roads of San Francisco, California, where it stayed until the early 2000's. The car then made it's way to the UK and then from there to Europe. Now painted in Argento Silver metallic complemented by red leather upholstery - the original colour was actually an unusual "ref 7113" mid-grey non-metallic. The car comes complete with history file which includes a set of invoices, with records of it's pervious title documents. A lovely and useable mix of refinement, comfort, performance and style - rare amongst the GTs of that period. 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

We are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful Ferrari 365 GTC - 1 of only 22 right hand drive examples imported into the UK. Chassis 12237 was ordered by the legendary Monaco Grand Prix-winning race team owner Rob Walker, who's famous team also competed with success at Le Mans, and took two Goodwood TT victories with Stirling Moss in the magnificent dark blue 250 SWB. Walker ordered the car in December 1968 through Colonel Ronnie Hoare's Maranello Concessionaires Ltd, and it was completed and delivered in April ’69. Present in the cars extensive history file are all the original invoices and correspondence between Rob Walker, the factory and Maranello at the time. Only having covered 55,000 miles, throughout its life, it has always remained in the UK and been in the hands of many great car collectors, where it has always been maintained to the highest level. Originally ordered in Ivory Tetrarch with black upholstery, in 2014 it underwent a documented bare metal re-paint and colour change by DK Engineering, and as fitting nod to the first owner, it was painted in Rob Walker dark blue and trimmed in blue leather. Today the car is Classiche Certified and accompanied by a magnificent history file. 1969 Ferrari 365 GTC Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Few sports cars have proven as versatile as Porsche's timeless 911, a model that has proven itself capable of being a true grand tourer as well as a rally and circuit car over the past 50 years. A "modern classic" if ever there was one, the 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 901, but shortly after it went into production in 1964 became the 911, following a complaint from Peugeot, which had filed a complaint about the use of the central zero for its models. The rear overhung engine architecture of its 356 predecessor was retained, but the 911 used a monocoque structure for its construction and abandoned the Volkswagen-derived suspension of the 356 in favor of a more modern strut and trailing arm McPherson system. In its first incarnation, Porsche's 1991cc air-cooled, single overhead cam flat six developed 130 bhp. When Porsche began to look at ways to improve its successful 356 model in the mid-1950s, it quickly became apparent that a simple evolution would not be enough. The potential changes to the 356 were such that an entirely new model had to be developed. The new Porsche would offer more space for occupants, as well as sufficient storage space for a set of golf clubs. The performance level of the new model was to match that of the 356 Carrera 2, while retaining the refinement of the 'normal' 356. The basic platform layout was to be retained, as well as the familiar Porsche silhouette. Ferdinand, Ferry Porsche's eldest son, was responsible for the design, developing the chassis and bodywork, while his cousin, Ferdinand Piëch, developed the air-cooled flat-six. The first advertisements for the new car stated: "... to design and build - almost without compromise - the ultimate car for getting from one point to another in the fastest, safest and most enjoyable way possible." The 911 is new in every detail, but it is undeniably a Porsche. Thanks to Ferdinand Piëch, the 901/911 was designed as a racing car from the beginning. This is particularly clear in the engine design with its dry sump and overflow Solex carburetors, both of which were developed in racing to make the engine run more smoothly. The overflow carburetors were unfortunately to prove unsuitable for road use. As early as 1964, the factory had equipped ten 904s with the six-cylinder 911 and named them 906s (which is the prefix of their chassis number). This led to confusion with the 906 Carrera 6, so the name 904/6 was preferred. These 904-906s were used to test the 901 engine for competition use in the 911. As it seemed to work well, it was decided not to wait any longer and to enter a 904/6 in the 49th Targa Florio. The race was won by a Ferrari 275 P2. The Italians did well to savor this victory, because the next five editions were won by Porsches. Second place went to an eight-cylinder Spyder 904 Kanguruh followed by a 904/6 (Maglioli-Linge) with a 901 engine. This was the first race appearance of the six-cylinder 911 in a version boosted to 210 hp at 8,000 rpm (901/20 engine). During the course of the year, this engine proved to be remarkably reliable. The green light was therefore given for the creation of a sports version of the 901 for the 911 S. The 911, a sedan? At the time of the 911's racing debut, it was still possible to enter identical cars powered by different engines in different classes. Of course, this required discussions with FIA officials. Fortunately, Porsche could count on the diplomatic skills of Huschke von Hanstein to obtain homologation for the 11 and 911L in Group 2 (touring cars) and the 911T and 911S in Grand Touring (Group 3). Even a lightweight, unbroken 911T like a 911S is approved as a GT car with a dry weight of 923 kg. The reason for the FIA's tolerance is that the first competition 911s were very similar to the production models, at least until the A-series. The only changes were in ride height and torsion bar settings. The gearboxes could be fitted with gears suitable for all kinds of competition. From the point of view of the regulations, Porsche had an unquestionable advantage because the FIA considered the 911 to be a sedan, which even allowed it to take part in certain races where sports cars were forbidden. The commercial benefits were nil as the public considered the victories to be unfair, as the 911s were obviously GTs. The only drawback was that in Group 2 (Touring) and Group 3 (GT), the 911s could not benefit from any increase in engine capacity above 2 liters. Of course, the 911s entered in the Prototype Class could have engines with increased displacement within the limits of the regulations. If the increase in displacement was forbidden, it was of course possible to increase the power. For this purpose, Porsche had obtained the approval of "kits". For the 911 and 911L, they made it possible to easily reach 160 hp. The engine was then called "Rallye" or 2000R. For the 911T and S, the factory supplied an engine identical to that of the Carrera 6, but without the dual ignition. An even more advanced version (with titanium connecting rods) was available, which was reserved for the 911T racing cars. Rallye de Monte-Carlo 1965: This year, to everyone's surprise, a 904 finished second overall in the 34th Monte Carlo Rally. It was driven by Böhringer (a private hotelier and former Mercedes racer) with Wütherich (James Dean's mechanic) as co-driver. The winning car was a Mini Cooper, much better suited to the terrible winter conditions of 1965, and no one foresaw that Porsches would ever beat the Mini. Just as no one noticed the participation of a 911, the fiftieth 911 to come off the Zuffenhausen production line, whose baptism of fire in competition was the first of its kind. Driven by the extremely experienced factory driver Herbert Linge and engineer Peter Falk, it finished an astonishing fifth overall and second in class. Season 1965: Porsche's participation in the other rounds of the European Rally Championship was a failure. It must be said that Huschke von Hanstein did not consider this to be an activity worthy of great financial effort. Even when rallying becomes a Porsche specialty, it will be with derisory means compared to those devoted to prototypes. It is true that the publicity given to Porsche by the results of the 917 prototypes will somewhat overshadow the rally victories of the small 911. It took all the persuasion and talent of Vic Elford to get Huschke von Hanstein to admit that this was an opportunity not to be missed. 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966: Another historic event that goes unnoticed: the first participation of a 911 at Le Mans. It was a virtually original 911S, 1965 model (chassis 303.355), which was entered in the GT category (under number 35) by Jacques Dewez. Driven by Kerguen and "Franc" (Dewez), it finished fourteenth in the distance classification and twelfth in the performance index at an average speed of 159 km/h. At the end of the race, it was put up for sale and left as it had arrived, by road. Our car: Delivered new in March 1966 by Sonauto the Porsche distributor in France in Polo Rot (paint code: 6602) with black leatherette interior, 303800 is one of the first short-wheelbase models, one of the most popular types among the historic rally racing siblings. After 3 owners, the car was acquired by its current owner and entrusted to RV Classic, a workshop renowned for its expertise in the restoration of racing Porsches in France. A meticulous restoration of the hull and its FIA conformity is carried out. Sebastien Crubilé (CRUBILE SPORT) has been entrusted with the mechanics, and the car will make its first circuit runs in 2020. After its last race at Le Mans Classic 2023, the car is now ready to race with updated safety equipment and its FIA PTH. The engine was recently rebuilt by Crubile Sport, and has only 500km of running-in. A fine dossier of photos confirms that the car's maintenance has not been subject to any spending restrictions.

One of Five US delivery “Chairs and Flares” 246 Dino GTs delivered Original California purchase with same ownership spanning 41 years Optioned with A/C, power windows, wide Campagnolos, and Daytona seats Among the most important and beautifully designed Ferraris, the Dino holds a special place in Ferrari history. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, who penned some of the greatest Pininfarina/Ferrari designs, the original 206 Dino GT was the first mid-engine road going Ferrari, named after Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredino (“Dino”) who tragically died of muscular dystrophy at age 24 in 1956, the 2.0-liter dual overhead camshaft V6, was supplanted in 1972 by a 2418cc engine which would become the definitive 246 GT. The fabulous quad cam V6, the nimble handling, and gorgeous design offered a wonderfully balanced and enjoyable driving experience which introduced new buyers to the magic of the Ferrari experience. Priced competitively against the Porsche 911S, Dinos sold very well in the United States eventually including the later GTS models. Of the GT models produced, a uniquely featured variant of standard production resulted when wider 7.5” Campagnolo wheels were ordered, requiring all four fenders to be “flared” to accommodate the new stance. Additionally, the second notable option, Daytona Seats, ordered with the wider wheels resulted in what would eventually become known as a “Chairs and Flares” Dino. This combination, while more common on the GTS models, was rarely chosen for US market Dinos, resulting in just five known factory GT examples specified with chairs and flares. According to a copy of the Marcel Massini report and history conveyed by the original and former owners, this Dino was completed in November 1972, finished in Rosso Chiaro with black interior, and optioned with air-conditioning, power windows, Daytona seats, Campagnolo 7.5” wheels, and US speedometer in miles. In 1973, the car was dispatched to William Harrah’s Ferrari dealership located in Reno, NV and sold to the first owner through Griswold Ferrari, Berkeley, CA. The first owner, Alfred Thomas, a US Air Force Major residing in Sacramento, CA, thoughtfully maintained the car to a high standard including returning to Griswold in 1975 for a repaint in the original color. In 1976 Thomas retired from the Air Force and purchased a tire franchise. This venture allowed Thomas to pursue another passion, racing where he campaigned a Porsche 911 RSR with his crew chief and former Ferrari mechanic, Greg Hurt, maintaining the Dino. In 1981 Thomas rejoined the air force and always had his Dino transported to new locations as part of his military service. Eventually settling in Tucker, GA, Thomas commissioned regular care for his Dino with experts FAF Motorsports and other service centers when relocating to Orlando, FL and Colorado. Thomas’ ownership spanned 41 years until it was sold to the next owner in 2014. The second owner maintained the car in keeping with the high standards of preservation with just over 30,000 miles accumulated under two owners before being sold to the next owner in 2019 and purchased by the current consigning owner in 2024. Today the odometer indicates 31,488 miles which are believed to be original. The car is accompanied by service records spanning more recent ownership covering mechanical and cosmetic improvements including the 2019 installation of a set of Daytona leather trimmed seats and headrests, services for the coolant and air-conditioning systems, fabrication of new portions of the exhaust system, welding repairs for the mufflers, install central water pipes, and new heater hoses. Additional work continued in 2021 and 2022 including installation of the windshield wiper motor, a new oil sending unit, new oil cooler and oil hoses, remove, clean and rebuild gauges as needed (including clock), vacuum test air conditioning system, alternator rebuild, front, rear caliper, park brake, and master cylinder rebuild, service proportion valve, install new brake valve, new brake pads, machining brake rotors, new choke cable, starter rebuild, replacing one coil, and the installation of a new MSD ignition unit. In preparation for sale, a new battery was installed. Today this Dino exhibits a satisfying combination of preserved original and sympathetically maintained components. Though offering a pleasant visual presentation, enthusiasts seeking a low mile Dino GT with known history and rare factory options will find this to be an irresistible candidate for a premier restoration. The paint is believed to be the same repaint applied by Griswold Ferrari in 1975, today offering a consistent overall glossy finish and good coverage both on the exterior surfaces, underside surfaces, and inner jambs. Trim and plating are of very good quality overall, as are the original Sicursiv branded side and rear glass. The various rubber parts throughout the exterior, original Dino emblems, and script are nicely maintained with factory fit and finish. The doors, trunk, and engine cover open and shut easily and display excellent fit. The trunk and front storage compartment are correctly prepared and detailed, each displaying original finishes and correct components including the original spare tire tub, Campagnolo spare wheel, and yellow wheel stop. The beautiful Campagnolo wheels and spare tire are all in excellent condition, shod with correct Michelin XWX tires. The interior offers original finishes cohesively matched with more recently refurbished pieces including an original set of Daytona black leather seats and seat belts, both recently installed. The dash mousehair, center console, and door panels are believed to be original to the car. Having benefited from indoor storage and thoughtful maintenance, the features and details include the original equipment air conditioning which remains in place with a functional blower, though the system is currently not blowing cold, and the heater controls will need servicing. Both power windows raise and lower from the console switches, and the gauges are functional. The carpets are very good overall as are door and door sill trim, inner jambs, and hinges very likely still retaining the original factory paint. The correct and original engine remains in place and has been properly maintained and serviced as needed. The unrestored engine compartment has benefited from preservation to the correct factory components, general servicing, and attention to authentic finishes, though not prepared for shows. Hoses, fittings, and assorted factory hardware have been replaced as needed with correct parts. The undercarriage is reflective of original finishes with some areas refinished as needed including the exhaust and brakes. The chassis is consistent with dry climate cars indicating 31,000 miles, proudly displaying patina from mild use, though maintained with care. Importantly, the chassis shows no visual evidence of structural compromise to the floor pan or any of the suspension mounts. Many of the visible suspension and engine components exhibit factory finishes and casting marks further supporting the originality of this Dino GT. The car starts and runs smoothly having benefited from recent mechanical services. Acceleration is delightful with smooth clutch engagement from the 5-speed manual transmission. Handling is delightfully engaging, reminding anyone how exciting a mid-engine car with cornering and braking from this era can truly be. The mid-engine performance balance delivers a dynamic driving experience, just as automotive journalists recounted in 1972. Highway speeds prove very rewarding as well, tracking smoothly with confident four-wheel disc brakes and manual downshifting just as Ferrari intended when developed for sporting road use.

Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, who penned some of the greatest Pininfarina/Ferrari designs, the original 206 Dino GT was the first mid-engine road going Ferrari, named after Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredino (“Dino”) who tragically died of muscular dystrophy at age 24 in 1956, the 2.0-liter dual overhead camshaft V6, was supplanted in 1972 by a 2418cc engine which would become the definitive 246 GT. The fabulous quad cam V6, the nimble handling, and gorgeous design offered a wonderfully balanced and enjoyable driving experience which introduced new buyers to the magic of the Ferrari experience. Priced competitively against the Porsche 911S, Dinos sold very well in the United States eventually including the later GTS models. Of the GT models produced, a uniquely featured variant of standard production resulted when wider 7.5” Campagnolo wheels were ordered, requiring all four fenders to be “flared” to accommodate the new stance. Additionally, the second notable option, Daytona Seats, ordered with the wider wheels resulted in what would eventually become known as a “Chairs and Flares” Dino. This combination, while more common on the GTS models, was rarely chosen for US market Dinos, resulting in just five known factory GT examples specified with chairs and flares. According to a copy of the Marcel Massini report and history conveyed by the original and former owners, this Dino was completed in November 1972, finished in Rosso Chiaro with black interior, and optioned with air-conditioning, power windows, Daytona seats, Campagnolo 7.5” wheels, and US speedometer in miles. In 1973, the car was dispatched to William Harrah’s Ferrari dealership located in Reno, NV and sold to the first owner through Griswold Ferrari, Berkeley, CA. The first owner, Alfred Thomas, a US Air Force Major residing in Sacramento, CA, thoughtfully maintained the car to a high standard including returning to Griswold in 1975 for a repaint in the original color. In 1976 Thomas retired from the Air Force and purchased a tire franchise. This venture allowed Thomas to pursue another passion, racing where he campaigned a Porsche 911 RSR with his crew chief and former Ferrari mechanic, Greg Hurt, maintaining the Dino. In 1981 Thomas rejoined the air force and always had his Dino transported to new locations as part of his military service. Eventually settling in Tucker, GA, Thomas commissioned regular care for his Dino with experts FAF Motorsports and other service centers when relocating to Orlando, FL and Colorado. Thomas’ ownership spanned 41 years until it was sold to the next owner in 2014. The second owner maintained the car in keeping with the high standards of preservation with just over 30,000 miles accumulated under two owners before being sold to the next owner in 2019 and purchased by the current consigning owner in 2024. Today the odometer indicates 31,488 miles which are believed to be original. The car is accompanied by service records spanning more recent ownership covering mechanical and cosmetic improvements including the 2019 installation of a set of Daytona leather trimmed seats and headrests, services for the coolant and air-conditioning systems, fabrication of new portions of the exhaust system, welding repairs for the mufflers, install central water pipes, and new heater hoses. Additional work continued in 2021 and 2022 including installation of the windshield wiper motor, a new oil sending unit, new oil cooler and oil hoses, remove, clean and rebuild gauges as needed (including clock), vacuum test air conditioning system, alternator rebuild, front, rear caliper, park brake, and master cylinder rebuild, service proportion valve, install new brake valve, new brake pads, machining brake rotors, new choke cable, starter rebuild, replacing one coil, and the installation of a new MSD ignition unit. In preparation for sale, a new battery was installed. Today this Dino exhibits a satisfying combination of preserved original and sympathetically maintained components. Though offering a pleasant visual presentation, enthusiasts seeking a low mile Dino GT with known history and rare factory options will find this to be an irresistible candidate for a premier restoration. The paint is believed to be the same repaint applied by Griswold Ferrari in 1975, today offering a consistent overall glossy finish and good coverage both on the exterior surfaces, underside surfaces, and inner jambs. Trim and plating are of very good quality overall, as are the original Sicursiv branded side and rear glass. The various rubber parts throughout the exterior, original Dino emblems, and script are nicely maintained with factory fit and finish. The doors, trunk, and engine cover open and shut easily and display excellent fit. The trunk and front storage compartment are correctly prepared and detailed, each displaying original finishes and correct components including the original spare tire tub, Campagnolo spare wheel, and yellow wheel stop. The beautiful Campagnolo wheels and spare tire are all in excellent condition, shod with correct Michelin XWX tires. The interior offers original finishes cohesively matched with more recently refurbished pieces including an original set of Daytona black leather seats and seat belts, both recently installed. The dash mousehair, center console, and door panels are believed to be original to the car. Having benefited from indoor storage and thoughtful maintenance, the features and details include the original equipment air conditioning which remains in place with a functional blower, though the system is currently not blowing cold, and the heater controls will need servicing. Both power windows raise and lower from the console switches, and the gauges are functional. The carpets are very good overall as are door and door sill trim, inner jambs, and hinges very likely still retaining the original factory paint. The correct and original engine remains in place and has been properly maintained and serviced as needed. The unrestored engine compartment has benefited from preservation to the correct factory components, general servicing, and attention to authentic finishes, though not prepared for shows. Hoses, fittings, and assorted factory hardware have been replaced as needed with correct parts. The undercarriage is reflective of original finishes with some areas refinished as needed including the exhaust and brakes. The chassis is consistent with dry climate cars indicating 31,000 miles, proudly displaying patina from mild use, though maintained with care. Importantly, the chassis shows no visual evidence of structural compromise to the floor pan or any of the suspension mounts. Many of the visible suspension and engine components exhibit factory finishes and casting marks further supporting the originality of this Dino GT. The car starts and runs smoothly having benefited from recent mechanical services. Acceleration is delightful with smooth clutch engagement from the 5-speed manual transmission. Handling is delightfully engaging, reminding anyone how exciting a mid-engine car with cornering and braking from this era can truly be. The mid-engine performance balance delivers a dynamic driving experience, just as automotive journalists recounted in 1972. Highway speeds prove very rewarding as well, tracking smoothly with confident four-wheel disc brakes and manual downshifting just as Ferrari intended when developed for sporting road use. This rare 246 Dino is offered with an original tool roll and tools, a tire jack and case, a yellow wheel chock, recent service records spanning 2019-2022, an original owner’s manual, various original literature, and an owner’s leather pouch.
