- 1979 Ferrari 512 BB 1
History full matching numbers - engine rebuilt by german specialist. Stunningly presented 1979 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer. Finished in Rosso with black leather interior. Only 929 carburettor 512 BBs were produced before fuel injection was introduced; making this variant sought after not just by the Ferrari purist, but also by the investors in the market. In the past, it benefitted from a full restoration, with a keen eye for detail. The bodywork is nice and straight with correct narrow panel gaps and has a high-quality finish. The undercarriage is original and free from any corrosion. The legendary 5.0 V12 Boxer F102B, 4 Cam engine of the 512 produces over 350bhp (360 PS). This car has always been fastidiously maintained and that shows on all fronts. The car handles, brakes and shifts perfectly. This 512 is truly A-1, both aesthetically and mechanically. The car also comes with service documentation.

- 1950 Fiat Abarth 204 Sport
In 1948, Carlo Arbarth decided to make his own cars using the well-known defunct Cisitalia Automobili brand. The brand went bankrupt and with what was left of parts and knowledge, Abarth & C. produced its first real car. The 204 Abarth. Visually, the cars resembled a scaled-down version of the Cisitalia Grand Prix cars. The engine was derived from a Fiat 1089cc unit fitted with twin Webers and the car had to be fast on the track. Where this car has certainly made a name for itself. In the end, only five cars rolled off the production line and the dream to drive this car once, unfortunately, must really remain a dream. The fact is that, because there are only five and no one ever wants to sell them, it is almost impossible to get hold of this car. And should anyone ever decide to sell their 204, be ready to shell out a few million. So a Swedish coachbuilder decided it was time for a perfect recreation of this car in order to experience the fun that so many dream of. The car is built on the chassis of a Fiat 1100 E. The result? A car that is so incredibly well made and built that everything suggests that it is a real one. The similarities are almost 1 to 1 and even the bolts on the valve cover and the Webers are identical. It is a perfectly built car with an unprecedented driving experience. Driving 80 with this classic feels like 180. Drool in your beard, tears streaming down your eyes and pebbles flying around your ears. Drive like IT SHOULD. 1950 Fiat Abarth 204 Sport Cool Classic Club 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 1948, Carlo Arbarth decided to make his own cars using the well-known defunct Cisitalia Automobili brand. The brand went bankrupt and with what was left of parts and knowledge, Abarth & C. produced its first real car. The 204 Abarth. Visually, the cars resembled a scaled-down version of the Cisitalia Grand Prix cars. The engine was derived from a Fiat 1089cc unit fitted with twin Webers and the car had to be fast on the track. Where this car has certainly made a name for itself. In the end, only five cars rolled off the production line and the dream to drive this car once, unfortunately, must really remain a dream. The fact is that, because there are only five and no one ever wants to sell them, it is almost impossible to get hold of this car. And should anyone ever decide to sell their 204, be ready to shell out a few million. So a Swedish coachbuilder decided it was time for a perfect recreation of this car in order to experience the fun that so many dream of. The car is built on the chassis of a Fiat 1100 E. The result? A car that is so incredibly well made and built that everything suggests that it is a real one. The similarities are almost 1 to 1 and even the bolts on the valve cover and the Webers are identical. It is a perfectly built car with an unprecedented driving experience. Driving 80 with this classic feels like 180. Drool in your beard, tears streaming down your eyes and pebbles flying around your ears. Drive like IT SHOULD.

- 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 FHC
"Every Jaguar Can Do Things Machines Can’t" For anyone who dreams of a Jaguar E-Type, the search usually ends at the holy grail: the Series 1 Coupe with a 3.8-liter engine. A graceful predator that truly comes into its own when it’s on the move. This specific beauty first saw the light of day on May 30, 1963, in Coventry, ready to conquer the world. Her journey began in style, in Long Beach, California, where a certain G. Lowe was no doubt eagerly awaiting his new acquisition. The perfect match for a life full of sunshine, speed, and glamour on the American West Coast. After a transatlantic journey to France, she was given a second life. A thorough nut-and-bolt restoration not only restored her, but improved her. Three Weber carburetors, a stronger radiator, and higher compression deliver performance that even modern cars envy. This is not a museum piece. This is a machine made to drive—and to rule. The numbers add up: matching numbers, Heritage Certificate. But it’s not the facts that make her unique, it’s how she makes you feel. That touch of rarity, the mix of raw power and elegant lines. A heritage waiting for someone who truly understands her.

The 550 Maranello marked Ferrari's return to producing a front-engined V12 two-seat Berlinetta GT, a type of car they hadn't built since the 365 GTB/4 Daytona of the early '70s. Often referred to as the "modern Daytona", the 550 was a triumph - combining precise, lightweight steering, 50/50 weight distribution with the all-important 485bhp V12 and silky 6-speed manual gearbox - all clothed in the beautiful, subtle lines that define the understated 550. And 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and 199mph makes it fast by any generation's standards. This lovely car was originally supplied by Maranello in October 1997, finished in Argento Nurburgring over a Blue leather interior. Since then it has been cared for as any Ferrari of this type should - regular servicing with the right people, including DK Engineering and Neal Lucas. 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello Duncan Hamilton Rofgo Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1955 Ferrari 410 Sport Spider by Scaglietti
PROMETHEUS BOUND Despite Enzo Ferrari’s determination to win the 1955 World Sportscar Championship, very little went to plan that season. The new 118 and 121 LM six-cylinder models did not pan out as projected, forcing Ferrari to revert to his four-cylinder cars. And the disaster at Le Mans drew increasing scrutiny from critics of motor racing, which soon resulted in diminished engine-capacity regulations. At the very least, the Scuderia Ferrari looked forward to fielding a new V-12 model at the final championship contest of 1955, the Carrera Panamericana: the notoriously grueling five-day rally traversing the Mexican wilderness. The engineering team specified a wide, low-riding tubular spaceframe with a shorter wheelbase, in the hopes of neutralizing the Panamericana’s bumpy roads. Development began on a new series of chassis that were designated with a CM suffix, representing “Carrera Messicana.” Instead of continuing with the V-12 racing engine he had designed for models like the 340 Mexico and 375 Plus, engineer Aurelio Lampredi chose the engine more recently built for the 410 Superamerica road car, a 4,961-cubic-centimeter V-12 that was Ferrari’s largest mill to date. But typical to the season, things did not go as planned; midway through the new car’s development process, the Carrera Panamericana was cancelled. Ferrari built only four examples of the resulting 410 S, chassis numbers 0592 CM, 0594 CM, 0596 CM, and 0598 CM. As the build records of these cars reportedly featured no dates, we can only piece together the sequence of events circumstantially. It is clear that the final two cars received purpose-built type 519/C chassis and 24-plug competition engines, being completed as 410 Sport racing spiders. After the Carrera’s cancellation, these two cars were repurposed for the 1956 season, competing as factory entries in January 1956 at the 1000 KM of Buenos Aires. Chassis number 0594 CM was completed as a grand touring coupe called the 410 Speciale and quickly sold into private ownership. The featured lot, chassis number 0592 CM, was neither a factory racer nor a sedate roadgoing car, but rather a 410 Sport Speciale prototype that was transitioned into a privateer racecar. Its unique history and extreme styling make a stunning testament to the 410 Sport’s brilliance. CARRERA MESSICANA—THE FIRST OF FOUR This 410 Sport is widely understood to be the initial development car, a claim that is supported by the car’s chassis number (being the earliest of the four), and many of its Superamerica-based specifications. This 410 rides a shortened version of the Superamerica’s type 514 chassis, featuring a 2,410-millimeter wheelbase, which distinguishes it from the final two cars. It is likewise powered by a 12-plug type 126 Superamerica engine, albeit with a more ferocious state of tune. As concluded by historian Michael T. Lynch in an article for Cavallino magazine, the prioritization of the final two cars for factory competition purposes left the first two chassis earmarked for customer sales. This opened the door for one of the American West Coast racing scene’s most colorful team principals to add a true gem to his stable. THAT’S AMORE! In a field filled with a who’s-who of men’s men, Tony Parravano stood out from the rest. The Italian-born Parravano settled in Southern California by way of Chicago, eventually making a fortune in housing development. His deep pockets allowed him to indulge a newfound passion for racing Italian sports cars, and the Scuderia Parravano quickly made a name for itself in SCCA events, featuring top-grade drivers like Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, and Phil Hill. Short of stature and wide of girth, Parravano would occasionally send his drivers to their wits’ end when he tinkered with the cars in the pits, only to endear himself to all with lavish dinners at top-tier restaurants during race weekends. Parravano aspired to assemble the largest collection of Ferrari racing cars worldwide, and during 1955 alone he purchased a 750 Monza, a 375 Speciale, a 375 Plus engine, and a 121 LM. His native command of Italian, his ability to travel without respect to cost, and his irrepressible confidence carried him to an unusual degree of latitude within the Ferrari factory. Upon the offering of 0592 CM for private sale, Parravano was able to have the car constructed in a true tailor-made status and reportedly consulted directly with Scaglietti about coachwork features. While 0592 CM’s styling is outwardly similar to the later cars at a glance, there are some notable differences. This spider has a more standard hood design, as opposed to the fender-enveloping hoods of the later cars. In addition to a longer tail, a mammoth ovoid grille, and a huge intake vent on the hood, the lowered coachwork is further distinguished by trademark Parravano cross-hatched fender-vent louvers, a feature that he ordered on many of his cars. Officially sold to Parravano in the summer of 1955, the 410 Sport was entered in the Palm Springs Road Races in February 1956, where it was piloted to overall victory by none other than Carroll Shelby himself. Shelby, who had driven a number of events for Scuderia Parravano, was at the end of his rope with Tony’s idiosyncrasies by this time, and this race proved to be his final outing under the Italian’s banner. Switching to John Edgar’s team, Shelby would go on to have massive racing success in a sister 410 Sport, chassis 0598 CM, which together with his Palm Springs victory in 0592 CM, helped put him on the racing map, paving his way to his Aston Martin Works team drive at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959 where he famously achieved overall victory. In February 1957 the 410 Sport continued racing for Scuderia Parravano at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where Eric Hauser finished 4th in the preliminary race. The little-known Bart Spiegelman then drove in the main event but retired early, and this marked the end of the car’s SCCA racing career. Parravano’s exit from the scene is certainly better known if not better understood than his entrance. A federal tax lien compelled Tony to flee for Mexico in mid 1957, and although he was successful in this evasion, only some of his cars escaped south of the border without being impounded. Chassis number 0592 CM was one, and it remained stored in an Ensenada warehouse for some time. In April 1960 Parravano was scheduled to return to the US for a court date but he never arrived, and no one ever saw him again. His disappearance remains one of racing’s most fascinating mysteries, evoking shades of Amelia Earhart or Jimmy Hoffa. FROM COAST TO COAST, AND BEYOND Parravano’s estate eventually sold the cars in Mexico to local enthusiasts, and in the early 1960s the 410 Sport was acquired by Javier Velasquez of Mexico City, one of the organizers of the Mexican Grand Prix. The Ferrari was then raced in 1964 in the Carrera de Costa a Costa Mexico (from Veracruz to Acapulco) by Juan Buchanon, as pictured in the February 1965 issue of Road & Track. By this time the alloy coachwork had been decorated with numerous names and sponsors, in the busy style of the Carrera Panamericana racecars. The 410’s photo in R&T caught the attention of an architect residing in Solebury, Pennsylvania named Robert Dusek. A few years later Dusek explored acquiring sports cars in Mexico, and in 1970 he was approached by Velasquez about the availability of the 410, which the American instantly recognized from the magazine article. After arranging its purchase in June 1971, the 410 Sport joined one of the most significant early American Ferrari collections of the 1960s and 1970s. Stablemates included many of Ferrari’s greatest sports racing and GT models including a 250 Testa Rossa, 335 Sport, 290 MM, 250 LM, 250 GT Tour de France, 330 P, 365 P2/3, 612 Can Am, and 857 Sport, among several others. In June 2008, after 37 years of passionate custody, Mr. Dusek sold the Ferrari and it joined one of Germany’s foremost Ferrari collections, where it remained for approximately six years. Acquired by the consignor in September 2014, the 410 was treated to a comprehensive restoration by two of the Ferrari niche’s most respected craftsmen. Engine guru Patrick Ottis was retained to rebuild the massive V-12, while Brian Hoyt was entrusted to refurbish the chassis systems and coachwork in its current stunning livery. In this beautifully restored state, the spider majestically returned to the concours center stage with an appearance at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is important to note that 0592 CM is arguably the most original of the four 410 S examples, retaining its original matching-numbers engine, and having never been damaged during its short racing career. A true one-off Speciale big-block V-12 driven to victory by the legendary Carroll Shelby with Scuderia Parravano at one of America’s most iconic circuits of the 1950s, this prototype 410 Sport is undoubtedly one of Ferrari’s most impressively specified and designed racing spiders of the golden age of American sportscar racing. Ferrari collectors seeking an historically important and breathtaking thoroughbred Prancing Horse, eligible for many of the world’s most important events, need look no further. 1955 Ferrari 410 Sport Spider by Scaglietti Ferrari If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

At the very least, the Scuderia Ferrari looked forward to fielding a new V-12 model at the final championship contest of 1955, the Carrera Panamericana: the notoriously grueling five-day rally traversing the Mexican wilderness. The engineering team specified a wide, low-riding tubular spaceframe with a shorter wheelbase, in the hopes of neutralizing the Panamericana’s bumpy roads. Development began on a new series of chassis that were designated with a CM suffix, representing “Carrera Messicana.” Instead of continuing with the V-12 racing engine he had designed for models like the 340 Mexico and 375 Plus, engineer Aurelio Lampredi chose the engine more recently built for the 410 Superamerica road car, a 4,961-cubic-centimeter V-12 that was Ferrari’s largest mill to date. But typical to the season, things did not go as planned; midway through the new car’s development process, the Carrera Panamericana was cancelled. Ferrari built only four examples of the resulting 410 S, chassis numbers 0592 CM, 0594 CM, 0596 CM, and 0598 CM. As the build records of these cars reportedly featured no dates, we can only piece together the sequence of events circumstantially. It is clear that the final two cars received purpose-built type 519/C chassis and 24-plug competition engines, being completed as 410 Sport racing spiders. After the Carrera’s cancellation, these two cars were repurposed for the 1956 season, competing as factory entries in January 1956 at the 1000 KM of Buenos Aires. Chassis number 0594 CM was completed as a grand touring coupe called the 410 Speciale and quickly sold into private ownership. The featured lot, chassis number 0592 CM, was neither a factory racer nor a sedate roadgoing car, but rather a 410 Sport Speciale prototype that was transitioned into a privateer racecar. Its unique history and extreme styling make a stunning testament to the 410 Sport’s brilliance. CARRERA MESSICANA—THE FIRST OF FOUR This 410 Sport is widely understood to be the initial development car, a claim that is supported by the car’s chassis number (being the earliest of the four), and many of its Superamerica-based specifications. This 410 rides a shortened version of the Superamerica’s type 514 chassis, featuring a 2,410-millimeter wheelbase, which distinguishes it from the final two cars. It is likewise powered by a 12-plug type 126 Superamerica engine, albeit with a more ferocious state of tune. As concluded by historian Michael T. Lynch in an article for Cavallino magazine, the prioritization of the final two cars for factory competition purposes left the first two chassis earmarked for customer sales. This opened the door for one of the American West Coast racing scene’s most colorful team principals to add a true gem to his stable. THAT’S AMORE! In a field filled with a who’s-who of men’s men, Tony Parravano stood out from the rest. The Italian-born Parravano settled in Southern California by way of Chicago, eventually making a fortune in housing development. His deep pockets allowed him to indulge a newfound passion for racing Italian sports cars, and the Scuderia Parravano quickly made a name for itself in SCCA events, featuring top-grade drivers like Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, and Phil Hill. Short of stature and wide of girth, Parravano would occasionally send his drivers to their wits’ end when he tinkered with the cars in the pits, only to endear himself to all with lavish dinners at top-tier restaurants during race weekends. Parravano aspired to assemble the largest collection of Ferrari racing cars worldwide, and during 1955 alone he purchased a 750 Monza, a 375 Speciale, a 375 Plus engine, and a 121 LM. His native command of Italian, his ability to travel without respect to cost, and his irrepressible confidence carried him to an unusual degree of latitude within the Ferrari factory. Upon the offering of 0592 CM for private sale, Parravano was able to have the car constructed in a true tailor-made status and reportedly consulted directly with Scaglietti about coachwork features. While 0592 CM’s styling is outwardly similar to the later cars at a glance, there are some notable differences. This spider has a more standard hood design, as opposed to the fender-enveloping hoods of the later cars. In addition to a longer tail, a mammoth ovoid grille, and a huge intake vent on the hood, the lowered coachwork is further distinguished by trademark Parravano cross-hatched fender-vent louvers, a feature that he ordered on many of his cars. Officially sold to Parravano in the summer of 1955, the 410 Sport was entered in the Palm Springs Road Races in February 1956, where it was piloted to overall victory by none other than Carroll Shelby himself. Shelby, who had driven a number of events for Scuderia Parravano, was at the end of his rope with Tony’s idiosyncrasies by this time, and this race proved to be his final outing under the Italian’s banner. Switching to John Edgar’s team, Shelby would go on to have massive racing success in a sister 410 Sport, chassis 0598 CM, which together with his Palm Springs victory in 0592 CM, helped put him on the racing map, paving his way to his Aston Martin Works team drive at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959 where he famously achieved overall victory. In February 1957 the 410 Sport continued racing for Scuderia Parravano at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where Eric Hauser finished 4th in the preliminary race. The little-known Bart Spiegelman then drove in the main event but retired early, and this marked the end of the car’s SCCA racing career. Parravano’s exit from the scene is certainly better known if not better understood than his entrance. A federal tax lien compelled Tony to flee for Mexico in mid 1957, and although he was successful in this evasion, only some of his cars escaped south of the border without being impounded. Chassis number 0592 CM was one, and it remained stored in an Ensenada warehouse for some time. In April 1960 Parravano was scheduled to return to the US for a court date but he never arrived, and no one ever saw him again. His disappearance remains one of racing’s most fascinating mysteries, evoking shades of Amelia Earhart or Jimmy Hoffa. FROM COAST TO COAST, AND BEYOND Parravano’s estate eventually sold the cars in Mexico to local enthusiasts, and in the early 1960s the 410 Sport was acquired by Javier Velasquez of Mexico City, one of the organizers of the Mexican Grand Prix. The Ferrari was then raced in 1964 in the Carrera de Costa a Costa Mexico (from Veracruz to Acapulco) by Juan Buchanon, as pictured in the February 1965 issue of Road & Track. By this time the alloy coachwork had been decorated with numerous names and sponsors, in the busy style of the Carrera Panamericana racecars. The 410’s photo in R&T caught the attention of an architect residing in Solebury, Pennsylvania named Robert Dusek. A few years later Dusek explored acquiring sports cars in Mexico, and in 1970 he was approached by Velasquez about the availability of the 410, which the American instantly recognized from the magazine article. After arranging its purchase in June 1971, the 410 Sport joined one of the most significant early American Ferrari collections of the 1960s and 1970s. Stablemates included many of Ferrari’s greatest sports racing and GT models including a 250 Testa Rossa, 335 Sport, 290 MM, 250 LM, 250 GT Tour de France, 330 P, 365 P2/3, 612 Can Am, and 857 Sport, among several others. In June 2008, after 37 years of passionate custody, Mr. Dusek sold the Ferrari and it joined one of Germany’s foremost Ferrari collections, where it remained for approximately six years. Acquired by the consignor in September 2014, the 410 was treated to a comprehensive restoration by two of the Ferrari niche’s most respected craftsmen. Engine guru Patrick Ottis was retained to rebuild the massive V-12, while Brian Hoyt was entrusted to refurbish the chassis systems and coachwork in its current stunning livery. In this beautifully restored state, the spider majestically returned to the concours center stage with an appearance at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is important to note that 0592 CM is arguably the most original of the four 410 S examples, retaining its original matching-numbers engine, and having never been damaged during its short racing career. A true one-off Speciale big-block V-12 driven to victory by the legendary Carroll Shelby with Scuderia Parravano at one of America’s most iconic circuits of the 1950s, this prototype 410 Sport is undoubtedly one of Ferrari’s most impressively specified and designed racing spiders of the golden age of American sportscar racing. Ferrari collectors seeking an historically important and breathtaking thoroughbred Prancing Horse, eligible for many of the world’s most important events, need look no further.

- 1958 Ferrari 250 GT 'Tour de France'
In 1955, FIA was tasked to reclassify sports car racing in an effort to reduce the influence of grand prix technology on sports cars that were simply becoming too fast for open road courses. The new fixed displacement classes placed Ferrari and their Colombo V12 3-liter engine in an ideal position. Ferrari had a long tradition of building dual-purpose road racers, and the new Scaglietti-bodied 250 GT Berlinetta (constructed on the 2,600 mm LWB chassis) was a stunning beginning to what would become a legendary series of cars. By 1956, the 250 GT Berlinetta distinguished itself in a multitude of races, including the Marquis de Portago's victory at the new Tour de France rally in September. Shortly thereafter, Oliver Gendebien won the race in another LWB Berlinetta in 1957, and again in 1958. The versatility and reliability of these cars proved without a doubt that the 3,600-mile combination of circuits and hill climbs were of little match for the capable 250 GT. With four consecutive victories at the French rally, this model would become affectionately known as the 250 GT Tour de France, or TdF. Ferrari would build these cars through early 1959, establishing the 250 GT TdF as one of the most desirable early racing models, and eventually rising to the pinnacle of collector status. The combination of racing prowess, impressive historic provenance, and stunning alloy Scaglietti coachwork results in one of the finest hand built cars Ferrari has ever created. This particular single louver, covered headlight 250 GT Tour de France features a stunning and painstaking Ferrari Classiche restoration. According to Ferrari factory build sheets, the chassis was delivered to Scaglietti on February 22, 1958, with instructions to construct alloy, covered headlight coachwork, while the motor, gearbox, and rear end were assembled and completed on March 25th and 26th. Four days later the car was officially completed at the factory and prepared for delivery. During the research and restoration of this car, Ferrari Classiche verified chassis no. 0899 GT as the third example of approximately 37 single louver cars built, and the 42nd example of 77 total Tour de France Berlinettas constructed. In early April 1958, the newly completed car was delivered to privateer racer and textile entrepreneur Eduardo Lualdi-Gabardi, a resident of Busto Arsizio. Over the following year, Lualdi-Gabardi entered 0899 GT in no fewer than thirteen races, achieving first-in-class finishes at the Coppa della Consuma and the Varese-Campo di Fiori Hill Climb. In September 1958, the Berlinetta finished third overall at the Coppa InterEuropa at Monza and second overall at the Trofeo Lumezzane. This was followed by a remarkable first overall finish at the Coppa Sant' Ambroeus at Monza in November. In late 1958, Gabardi sold 0899 GT to Ferdinando Pagliarini who campaigned the car through the 1959 season, achieving a third-overall finish at the Coppa San Marino Hill Climb in April. A month later the Berlinetta achieved an overall victory at the Castell' Arquato-Vernasca Hill Climb, and second-in-class finishes were recorded at the Coppa della Concuma Hill Climb in June and the Pontedecimo-Giovi Hill Climb in September. In the spring of 1960, Paul Mounier, a French resident of Algeria and president of the Lycee Techniques d'Alger (Algiers Technical School) became the new owner. Mounier, an importer of French cars in Algiers, registered the TdF in the French colony for racing use. Mounier campaigned the car in both France and Africa, finishing fourth overall at the Rallye Alger-Hassi Messaoud-Alger in April 1960, participating in the Oran Hill Climb, and finishing 7th overall at the Grand Prix de Rouen. In 1961, having mercifully escaped the ravages of racing for two years, the car was damaged in a road accident, causing Mounier to sell the car to Marseilles garage owner Aldo Montagna. As is the case for so many of these early racing cars, the engine was dispatched to a new owner. The race-prepped experimental engine (internal no. 174 C) was sold to French shoemaker Charles Jourdan, who installed it into a second-series 250 GT Cabriolet. Most critically, and for the benefit of history, the chassis, complete with gearbox, front and rear suspension, brakes, steering box, rear-end drive, fuel tank and the complete dash console, were preserved as a unit. In 1969, Jacques O'Hana of Marseilles purchased the chassis. O'Hana registered the car and retained possession for almost 20 years, at one point selling components to sculptor and racing enthusiast François Chevallier. At this time, Chevallier attempts to utilize a portion of the original bodywork, mating it with a 250 GT Coupe in an attempt to create a replica TdF, while unfortunately stamping the replica as 0899 GT. For a period of time, two cars claimed the 0899 origin, while both the replica and the original chassis existed. Eventually, Chevallier sells the original components back to O'Hana, who in turn sells them to Michel Ferry of Monaco in 1987. Mr. Ferry works tirelessly to promptly end the replica's erroneous claims to 0899 GT by reportedly obtaining a letter through Ferrari France's F40 LM team manager Jean Sage explaining the chassis' actual history, and the false stamping used on the replica car. Ferry retains possession of the legitimate car and in 1990 commissions the creation of proper alloy coachwork by the esteemed award-winning craftsmen at Carrozzeria AutoSport in Modena, Italy. In 2012, the restoration process is taken one step further to the highest standards, entrusted to the masters at Ferrari Classiche, ensuring the utmost authenticity and historic accuracy, befitting a car of this stature. In addition to a comprehensive chassis restoration, a newly cast correct-specification type 128 C engine was supplied by the Ferrari factory. Ferrari stamped and authenticated the engine as 0899 GT, mating it to the original 0899 GT chassis. In February 2014, the factory certified the Berlinetta with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book asserting that the car today retains its original matching-numbers chassis (including suspension and brakes), gearbox, and Borrani wire wheels. To further verify and confirm their findings, a metallurgy test was performed during the certification process confirming the correct age of 0899GTs chassis. As part of the documentation process, copies of the Ferrari's original built sheets were retained. In the final statement of authenticity the factory confirmed, without doubt, that this car is the legitimate and singular 0899 GT as verified by Ferrari's Marco Arrighi unequivocally stating, "Your car is certified by Ferrari and it means that no other car can be recognized as chassis number 0899 GT." During the final points of the restoration, 0089 GT was entrusted to Rod Drew and Francorchamps Ferrari Service in Costa Mesa, CA, with additional work by Rex Nguyen and Moto Technique, in order to ensure the highest possible mechanical and performance standards, as well as the finest cosmetic preparation befitting concours level scrutiny. In August 2016, 0899 GT was presented at Concorso Italiano in Monterey California, where the car won both ‘Best in Show’ and the ‘Best Ferrari’ trophy, as well as the ‘Art Center's Students' Choice’ Award. Subsequently, the TdF achieved the ‘Excellence in Class’ award at the Mar-a-Lago Concours d'Elegance held in conjunction with the 2017 Cavallino Classic. During the past four years, this exceptional car has been on display at a prominent automotive museum. As road use had been minimal during that time, it was determined that a proper mechanical inspection and service was in order. In August 2021, this Ferrari was consigned with Fantasy Junction, and sent to Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis who inspected the engine and operating features to ensure proper operation while tending to the fuel and electrical system as needed. The carbs were cleaned, new carburetor top gaskets installed, mechanical fuel pump rebuilt, a new electric SU fuel pump installed. and new seal rings installed on the fuel rail. The car tested for proper operation at idle and on throttle. The carburetors were synchronized and adjusted, and then road tested to ensure good operation, proper engine performance, and sound driving manners. TODAY THIS STUNNING TOUR DE FRANCE PRESENTS WITH AN IMPECCABLE RESTORATION, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT FEATURES AND COMPONENTS, AND SUPERB FINISHES THROUGHOUT. The paint is beautifully done with high gloss, over expertly refined coachwork, which has been exactingly performed to correct TdF configuration. All panel gaps are smooth and even with excellent closure and fit. The removable hood has a tiny chip along the forward edge, but no other blemishes are evident. The headlight covers are correctly formed with high polished finish and correct headlamps. All trim, emblems, windshield, plexiglass side and rear windows, and lenses are beautifully restored. The correct Borrani wire wheels are properly restored using original finishes showing no scratches or bead rash, including the spare wheel and correct tire. Michelin tires are correct for the period and remain ready for street or show use. All glass appears as new as do the window garnish molding and rubber gaskets. The interior is a journey back in time to performance racing with just enough GT flavor embodied in the leather finishes and properly stitched diamond panels. The correct leather straps and proper buckles lay out along the rear package shelf while the diamond pattern continues into the center console. The seats feature a unique and novel side bolstering construction, allowing more lateral support in cornering (a relatively new feature for cars of this period). The door panels are finely finished with leather, adorned with window cranks, door handles, and delicately sculpted door pulls. The correctly finished black crinkle dashboard houses an array of excellent instruments with highly contrasting dial faces and wonderfully restored nomenclature. An array of correct toggle switches and accessory features continue to delight the eye. The beautifully restored steering wheel stands proud, emblematic of the Ferrari brand, while paying homage to the heritage of great cars that contribute to this lineage of sports cars. Overall the interior presents excellent finishes with little to no signs of use, only as intended when driven to shows or special events. Under the hood the engine is simply stunning. Every aspect of the car has been correctly researched and refinished in order to present the car as accurately as possible. Attention to detail includes correct fasteners, proper fuel and brake lines, correct finishes to the cam covers, proper engine compartment finishes, and correctly finished raw castings. The carburetor air pan is also correctly formed allowing for better air flow and heat dissipation, per the original design. Correct Weber carburetors, ignition, and proper exhaust have all been sourced and finished per original specifications. This exceptional Tour de France is accompanied by a tool roll and owner's manual, and an impressive collection of trophies, including the 2016 Concorso Italiano 'Best of Show' trophy, the 2016 Concorso Italiano ‘Best Ferrari” trophy, the 2016 Art Center 'Student Choice' trophy, and the 2017 Mar-a-Lago 'Excellence in Class' trophy. Also included is the impressive 1959 'Coppa San Marino' trophy from 0899 GT's 1959 3rd place finish. This Ferrari is presented with copious documentation first with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book, accompanied by a thick binder of vintage photos, former registration information, and former owner's correspondence. The restoration file is equally impressive, with an abundance of receipts from Ferrari Classiche totaling in excess of $700,000.00, Rex Nguyen, with records totaling over $130,000.00, Moto Technique, O’Rouke Coach Trimmers and UK Hide, totaling over $170,000.00, and Dennison International, Beckman, and FAI, totaling over $64,000.00. In all, recent restoration costs totaled an impressive and worthy $1,076,230.00 1958 Ferrari 250 GT 'Tour de France' Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The carbs were cleaned, new carburetor top gaskets installed, mechanical fuel pump rebuilt, a new electric SU fuel pump installed. and new seal rings installed on the fuel rail. The car tested for proper operation at idle and on throttle. The carburetors were synchronized and adjusted, and then road tested to ensure good operation, proper engine performance, and sound driving manners. TODAY THIS STUNNING TOUR DE FRANCE PRESENTS WITH AN IMPECCABLE RESTORATION, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT FEATURES AND COMPONENTS, AND SUPERB FINISHES THROUGHOUT. The paint is beautifully done with high gloss, over expertly refined coachwork, which has been exactingly performed to correct TdF configuration. All panel gaps are smooth and even with excellent closure and fit. The removable hood has a tiny chip along the forward edge, but no other blemishes are evident. The headlight covers are correctly formed with high polished finish and correct headlamps. All trim, emblems, windshield, plexiglass side and rear windows, and lenses are beautifully restored. The correct Borrani wire wheels are properly restored using original finishes showing no scratches or bead rash, including the spare wheel and correct tire. Michelin tires are correct for the period and remain ready for street or show use. All glass appears as new as do the window garnish molding and rubber gaskets. The interior is a journey back in time to performance racing with just enough GT flavor embodied in the leather finishes and properly stitched diamond panels. The correct leather straps and proper buckles lay out along the rear package shelf while the diamond pattern continues into the center console. The seats feature a unique and novel side bolstering construction, allowing more lateral support in cornering (a relatively new feature for cars of this period). The door panels are finely finished with leather, adorned with window cranks, door handles, and delicately sculpted door pulls. The correctly finished black crinkle dashboard houses an array of excellent instruments with highly contrasting dial faces and wonderfully restored nomenclature. An array of correct toggle switches and accessory features continue to delight the eye. The beautifully restored steering wheel stands proud, emblematic of the Ferrari brand, while paying homage to the heritage of great cars that contribute to this lineage of sports cars. Overall the interior presents excellent finishes with little to no signs of use, only as intended when driven to shows or special events. Under the hood the engine is simply stunning. Every aspect of the car has been correctly researched and refinished in order to present the car as accurately as possible. Attention to detail includes correct fasteners, proper fuel and brake lines, correct finishes to the cam covers, proper engine compartment finishes, and correctly finished raw castings. The carburetor air pan is also correctly formed allowing for better air flow and heat dissipation, per the original design. Correct Weber carburetors, ignition, and proper exhaust have all been sourced and finished per original specifications. This exceptional Tour de France is accompanied by a tool roll and owner's manual, and an impressive collection of trophies, including the 2016 Concorso Italiano 'Best of Show' trophy, the 2016 Concorso Italiano ‘Best Ferrari” trophy, the 2016 Art Center 'Student Choice' trophy, and the 2017 Mar-a-Lago 'Excellence in Class' trophy. Also included is the impressive 1959 'Coppa San Marino' trophy from 0899 GT's 1959 3rd place finish. This Ferrari is presented with copious documentation first with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book, accompanied by a thick binder of vintage photos, former registration information, and former owner's correspondence. The restoration file is equally impressive, with an abundance of receipts from Ferrari Classiche totaling in excess of $700,000.00, Rex Nguyen, with records totaling over $130,000.00, Moto Technique, O’Rouke Coach Trimmers and UK Hide, totaling over $170,000.00, and Dennison International, Beckman, and FAI, totaling over $64,000.00. In all, recent restoration costs totaled an impressive and worthy $1,076,230.00 Other Cars from Fantasy Junction 1988-Alfa-Romeo-Graduate-01.jpg 1988-Alfa-Romeo-Graduate-02.jpg 1988-Alfa-Romeo-Graduate-20.jpg 1988-Alfa-Romeo-Graduate-01.jpg 1/20 1988 Alfa Romeo Graduate Fantasy Junction United States 1985-Ferrari-308-GTSi-01.jpg 1985-Ferrari-308-GTSi-02.jpg 1985-Ferrari-308-GTSi-20.jpg 1985-Ferrari-308-GTSi-01.jpg 1/20 1985 Ferrari 308 GTSi Fantasy Junction United States 1964-Ferrari-275-330-GTC-Prototipo-01.jpg 1964-Ferrari-275-330-GTC-Prototipo-02.jpg 1964-Ferrari-275-330-GTC-Prototipo-20.jpg 1964-Ferrari-275-330-GTC-Prototipo-01.jpg 1/20 1964 Ferrari 275/330 GTC Prototipo Fantasy Junction United States Last Featured Cars 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-02.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-10.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1/10 1992 Subaru SVX DLS Automobile Germany 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-02.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-15.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1/15 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS IROC Evocation Classic Connection United Kingdom 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-02.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-20.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1/20 1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH Switzerland
- 1976-porsche-911-carrera-30l
Carrera! This noun, borrowed from Spanish, means race, and if Porsche hadn't used it in 1955 to designate the best-engined variants of its 356, its use would certainly have been confined to Spanish-speaking countries. Instead, popularised by the Stuttgart firm, it took on a meaning and prestige that continue to resonate today in the hearts of enthusiasts, whatever their language. In particular, the term has played a key role in the long history of the 911 and, naturally, everyone immediately thinks of the 1973 RS, its radicalism, its mythology, its ducktail spoiler, its dedication to racing; as its name suggests. Don't look for photos of a Carrera 3.0L in the Porsche database, as the brand has no archive photos of this model. This illustrates the situation of the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 in Porsche history: that of a particularly interesting model, but one that lived in the shadow of its predecessor, and which above all marked the beginning of a temporary decline for the 911. The Carrera 3.0 in the shadow of the Carrera 2.7? The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 made its appearance at the end of 1975, for the 1976 model year. It replaced the 911 Carrera 2.7, which had lived through two vintages: 1974 and 1975. The Carrera 2.7 was equipped with an incredible 210 bhp, borrowed from the already legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7. But in 1976, Porsche President Ernst Fuhrmann had other things on his mind than the 911, which he considered old-fashioned and, above all, technically outdated. For him, there was no question of undertaking costly developments to modernise the 911; the future lay with front-engined Porsches like the Porsche 924. So the Carrera 3.0 arrived with a less powerful engine than the Carrera 2.7: it produced 200 bhp instead of 210 bhp for its predecessor. The engine is nonetheless of high quality, since it is based on the 911 Turbo, which explains its 3-litre capacity. A typical Carrera 3.0 feature is the 5-blade cooling turbine. When it comes to performance, there is some debate: the 0-100 time is identical on both models (6.1 seconds) and the Carrera 3.0 gives back 3 km/h to the Carrera 2.7 in top speed: 235 km/h for the Carrera 3.0, 238 for the Carrera 2.7. On the other hand, the Carrera 3.0 excels in acceleration, where it is ahead of the Carrera 2.7. The Carrera 3.0's optimisation of torque works wonders, with the car taking 3 seconds less than the 2.7 RS from 40 to 160 km/h, despite weighing 45 kg more as a result of the improved soundproofing. Relatively low torque means you don't have to go too far up the rev range for efficiency, and the 930 turbo's solid aluminium engine block makes it a particularly reliable model.With similar tyres and weight, these figures speak volumes about the Carrera 3.0's potential, despite the drop in power. But is a drop in power a bad signal to send to the customer? With 2,546 coupés and 1,105 Targas sold, the 911 Carrera 3.0 served its purpose. It was replaced in 1978 by a 911 SC, which lost even more power, dropping to 180 bhp. This was the beginning of the downturn for Porsche, which concentrated on the 924 and 928, but profits failed to keep pace, and customers who loved the 911 were left wanting more. Porsche's image gradually deteriorated, and with old cars out of fashion, the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 gradually fell into oblivion. Re-engineered to 2994 cm3, the block had exactly the same dimensions as the first Turbo presented in Paris in the autumn of 1974. Its crankcase was no longer made from the magnesium used since the 1969 model, which had been found to have certain weaknesses. As Paul Frère wrote in one of the reference works he devoted to the model: ‘In order to avoid any failure due to metal fatigue, the Carrera 3-litre 930/02 engine in its normal version has a die-cast aluminium crankcase’. An analysis of the technical data sheet reveals a distinct difference from that of the 2.7-litre 911. While power was down by ten horsepower, the 26 mkg of torque remained the same - except that it was now obtained at 4,200 rpm instead of 5,100 rpm. Although it is generally referred to as the civilised version of the legendary 210bhp 2.7 RS, the Carrera 3.0's 0-100km/h time is a tenth of a second quicker than that of the 2.7 RS (6.3 seconds), and even two tenths quicker for 0-180km/h! This good performance is mainly due to the much lower torque, which the 2.7 RS only achieves at 5,100 rpm. A direct comparison of the power curves explains this miracle: up to 5,000 rpm, the 3.0 engine delivers significantly more power than the 2.7 RS. It's only above 5,000 rpm that the old Carrera 2.7 RS catches up and then overtakes the 3.0 Carrera... which goes to show that it's not just a question of having more power, it's also a question of being able to exploit it. It's hard to put a figure on the number of 911 Carrera 3.0s that have been ‘lost’ over time through lack of care or maintenance, with only enlightened enthusiasts taking a real interest in them. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that the Carrera 3.0 made a comeback, with classic cars gradually returning to the limelight, culminating in the mid-2015s. The 911 Carrera 3.0, a car for connoisseurs The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 remains a car for connoisseurs: rare, with a less powerful image than a Carrera 2.7, and less produced and more expensive than a 911 SC, it lies between two waters, where only enlightened enthusiasts venture. That's not to say that it's a tricky car to drive, as its 3-litre engine is perfectly matched to a quality 915 gearbox, making the engine/gearbox combination a pleasure to drive. It can be driven on torque in fast cruising mode, and it's capable of showing off its power at higher revs. Above all, it still represents the transition from the pre-1973 911 Classic to the full maturity of the 911 Caisses G, which will be reached with the 911 Carrera 3.2. So if you want to enjoy a vintage 911, the Carrera 3.0 could be the ideal mount: rare, unique, reliable and consistent. If you're already familiar with 911s from that era, you'll snuggle up to it like an old friend; if not, I promise you some very exciting discoveries, with a very favourable power-to-weight ratio (the car weighs just 1,120 kilos) and a driving pleasure enhanced by the availability of the flat-six engine. The car doesn't need to be whipped to give its best, with the added bonus of the more or less hidden bliss of driving one of the less frequent avatars of the most unmissable sports car in history! Delivered new in Germany in the interior/exterior colours it still wears today, with its original sunroof and Fuch wheels, our 911 carrera 3.0L is still equipped with its engine and gearbox, as confirmed by the Porsche certificate on file. It spent a long time in the hands of a duo of Italian and Belgian owners, before being bought by the current owner. The latter, a Porsche enthusiast and above all a stickler for cosmetic and mechanical condition, entrusted his car to Olivier Auvray (AMS) for meticulous maintenance. The bodywork, although in superb condition, was inspected and any parts that needed repainting were given a new coat of paint. This is a rare car, very pleasant to drive, but which can also be a real racer, and which can calm the ardour of more modern cars on small mountain roads... It will make you happy in perfect comfort, while keeping the spirit of what made the 911 famous. 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0L Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1989-lamborghini-countach-25th-anniversary-edition-by-bertone
Crafted with a level of refinement that pushed the boundaries of what was possible without requiring rehomologation, the 25th Anniversary Edition was, in essence, a reimagining of the Countach. It returned cosmetically, ergonomically, and mechanically revitalised. To achieve this monumental transformation, Lamborghini entrusted the task to its in-house visionaries Horacio Pagani and Sandro Munari. Pagani’s work was evident in the revised exterior, which featured a redesigned front bumper, sleek raking rear wing scoops, refined lighting, a new rear bumper, and enhanced ground effects. Inside, the cabin was replete with substantial improvements, with the addition of standard climate control, power windows and seats, better bolstering, and a revised steering assembly, making the driving experience more comfortable and functional. The Countach was transformed into a far more agile and road-friendly machine. Cloaked in its correct shade of Nero over beige trim, this coveted European-specification 25th Anniversary Edition Countach is being offered for the first time in over two decades. Previously under the care of a custodian in France, the car was acquired by the consignor in June 2004 and returned to its native Italy. Now accompanied by an Automotoclub Storico Italiano Certificato di Relivanza Storica e Collezionistica, it has spent the last 20-plus years enjoying a charmed life of sparing use, displaying just 12,433 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition by Bertone 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 Crafted with a level of refinement that pushed the boundaries of what was possible without requiring rehomologation, the 25th Anniversary Edition was, in essence, a reimagining of the Countach. It returned cosmetically, ergonomically, and mechanically revitalised. To achieve this monumental transformation, Lamborghini entrusted the task to its in-house visionaries Horacio Pagani and Sandro Munari. Pagani’s work was evident in the revised exterior, which featured a redesigned front bumper, sleek raking rear wing scoops, refined lighting, a new rear bumper, and enhanced ground effects. Inside, the cabin was replete with substantial improvements, with the addition of standard climate control, power windows and seats, better bolstering, and a revised steering assembly, making the driving experience more comfortable and functional. The Countach was transformed into a far more agile and road-friendly machine. Cloaked in its correct shade of Nero over beige trim, this coveted European-specification 25th Anniversary Edition Countach is being offered for the first time in over two decades. Previously under the care of a custodian in France, the car was acquired by the consignor in June 2004 and returned to its native Italy. Now accompanied by an Automotoclub Storico Italiano Certificato di Relivanza Storica e Collezionistica, it has spent the last 20-plus years enjoying a charmed life of sparing use, displaying just 12,433 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.
