- 1971 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 3 V12 XKE
The “XKE” is the name that was given to the Jaguar E-Types that were produced for the North American market. Arguably the most well recognized sportscar of the 20th century, the E-type is the perfect combination of beautiful curved lines and high-performance. The Open-Two-Seater is still igniting passions today, just as it did when it was first revealed to the public back in 1961. The iconic Jaguar E-Type has evolved over the years. The initial model had a lack of foot space, uncomfortable seats, massive brake fade and an engine prone to overheating – yet it was loved. Ten years and numerous improvements later, Jaguar launched a 5.3L V12 engine in its E-Type Series 3, transforming it with an infusion of torque and horsepower. Along with the engine, other modifications were made, including power steering and power brakes. The Series 3 are the most comfortable and the smoothiest of the E-Types. They are easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. The chassis number 1S21666 is finished in a classic and elegant Dark Blue color with a tan beige leather interior, a black convertible top and dark blue hardtop. Like most of the Left-Hand-Drive E-types of this generation, it was delivered new to the United States in December 1971 and stayed in America until 1995, when it was sold to South of France. The French owner enjoyed the car for 7 years. In 2002, it moved to Belgium with a Belgian lady who fell for its elegant color combination. The Jaguar was bought in February 2006 by its current owner, a Belgian passionate, and has stayed in his hands for 17 years. Here is a list of the main equipment and options: – Full leather interior – Beige carpets – Pioneer audio system – Wooden steering wheel – Wooden dashboard – 15 inch wire wheels / spoke rims – Black hood – Black hood cover – Hardtop in the color of the car – Chrome bumpers – Tulip exhaust Used and serviced regularly over the years, the XKE benefitted from some restoration works in 2017 : Hardtop renovation, replacement of the convertible top, front leather seats renovation, carpet cleaning, full bodywork polishing, new side windows, new radio antenna, new door and window seals Maintenance of the carburetors, oil filter, geometry, heating system maintenance, handbrake adjustment, new battery. Today, the counter shows a mileage of a bit more than 10.000 miles (probably corresponding to 110.000 miles). The car is in good condition, has a Belgian oldtimer registration and drives well. It comes with a Certificate of Conformity established by Jaguar Brussels, the original Operating, Maintenance and Service handbook and the Parts catalog. Documentation includes all invoices of the works done since 2006. In short, here is a nice E-type Jaguar to drive and enjoy on the beautiful roads of Europe. So, interested?

- 1992 De Tomaso Pantera 90 Si
One of 41 produced, The Cultivated Collector’s 1992 De Tomaso Pantera 90 Si, chassis 0020, benefits greatly from loving previous ownership. Today, it presents as an exceptional and highly original example of the breed, sporting its original Gandini designed bodywork, as well as engine and ZF transmission. Having covered a scant 21k KM from new, and with recent servicing, 0020 is ready to run with the best. De Tomaso’s original Pantera can trace its roots to being built on the back of the Mangusta, a stunning machine that debuted in Modena in 1970 to critical acclaim from the general public and automotive press, the Mangusta would go on to be the marques most successful model to date. Back on North American soil, Ford was increasingly fraught with the concept of becoming the first American manufacturer to market a mid-engine sports car domestically. In the wake of the failed purchase attempt of automotive goliath Ferrari, Ford struck a deal with Italian Alejandro de Tomaso garnering them an 80% stake in his burgeoning Italian automotive company, De Tomaso. The result of this deal saw the De Tomaso Pantera subsequently available through Lincoln-Mercury dealership lots beginning in 1971. The Ford-De Tomaso partnership would falter before it truly had a chance to flourish, despite selling over 5,000 examples of the Pantera within four years, largely in part due to the effects of the 1973 Energy Crisis. This event resulted in Ford pulling all backing out of De Tomaso in 1975, which did have a silver lining of providing De Tomaso the opportunity to support continued development of the Pantera, gaining the car moderate sales success in Europe. Production of the Pantera continued long into the 1980’s, and as such the company's cornerstone Pantera, was rapidly becoming obsolete in the face of modern offerings from rival marques. De Tomaso’s strategy was to lean on the brilliance of legendary Italian designer Marcello Gandini, who was responsible for penning the achingly beautiful Lamborghini Miura, Countach, and Diablo. Evolving the original Pantera design from Tom Tjaarda, Gandini would comprehensively refresh the Pantera into its penultimate iteration, the Pantera 90 Si, catapulting it into the domain of modern supercars. Beauty, however, was not merely skin deep. Underneath the stunningly reworked Gandini bodywork lay an extensively modified, and lighter, version of the Pantera’s original steel monocoque chassis. Major changes included a lighter, more rigid tubular rear subframe, Brembo brakes, and a new Ford sourced 5.0L V8 engine which was overhauled by the DeTomaso engineers, enabling the Gandini designed Pantera 90 Si to catapult to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and achieve a top speed of 165mph. Striking an ideal balance between performance and cost, the Pantera 90Si was poised to be the perfect limited-edition, entry-level supercar for De Tomaso as the 90’s approached. While the original Pantera was wildly successful in North America, De Tomaso made the decision to not sell the Pantera 90 Si in the North American market. Production began in 1990 with De Tomaso projecting to build 75 examples, however the Pantera 90 Si would end up an unfortunate victim of the struggling global economy in the early 1990’s, with only a reported 41 cars being produced and sold to the public over a 4 year production run. 1992 De Tomaso Pantera 90 Si The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Major changes included a lighter, more rigid tubular rear subframe, Brembo brakes, and a new Ford sourced 5.0L V8 engine which was overhauled by the DeTomaso engineers, enabling the Gandini designed Pantera 90 Si to catapult to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and achieve a top speed of 165mph. Striking an ideal balance between performance and cost, the Pantera 90Si was poised to be the perfect limited-edition, entry-level supercar for De Tomaso as the 90’s approached. While the original Pantera was wildly successful in North America, De Tomaso made the decision to not sell the Pantera 90 Si in the North American market. Production began in 1990 with De Tomaso projecting to build 75 examples, however the Pantera 90 Si would end up an unfortunate victim of the struggling global economy in the early 1990’s, with only a reported 41 cars being produced and sold to the public over a 4 year production run.

- 1997 Ferrari F50 1
Following in the footsteps of the fabled F40, Ferrari’s F50 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Hugely influenced by Formula 1 design and technology at the time, at the F50 heart was a naturally aspirated V-12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 641 F1 car, campaigned during the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. With 512 bhp on tap, its Formula 1 origins and 8,000 rpm redline made the engine truly sonorous when driven as its manufacturers intended. Top speed was claimed as being 202 mph and from a standstill, the F50 would sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. As if its performance wasn’t enough, what truly set the F50 apart from its competitors at the time was its open-top body style, allowing buyers to choose from the closed comfort of a Berlinetta or the thrill of an open-top sports car, and no open-top sports car on sale at the time could match the sheer performance of the F50. Top-down, the driving experience that the F50 provided its lucky driver and passenger was a close as one could get to driving a road-legal Formula 1 car. Only 349 examples would be built, far fewer than the F40 that preceded it. This late production, Italian-supplied example found residence with its first owner Mr Poliseno of Bolzano in northern Italy. Like so many examples, this F50 was financed new and supplying dealership Forza S.p.A of Turin invoiced Leaserent Trentino direct on 9th January 1998. The F50 would depart for Japan later the same year, receiving its running in service in 1999 at 1,400 km. First registered in Tokyo, the car would move north to the Omiya ward of Saitama City in the millennium year. In 2001, the car would be seen in public, displayed as part of the prominent collection of Ferraris at Yoshihi Matsuda’s Gotemba Sports Garden display. Remaining behind closed doors for the next three years, the F50 would be displayed at Matsuda’s Ferrari Brunch Meetings in May 2004. The exclusive F-car event saw no fewer than 19 F40s, 10 F50s and 7 examples of the then brand new Enzo in attendance. The car would further attend the Ferrari Brunch Speciale in 2005. The F50 returned to Europe in 2005, finding residence just a couple of hours from where it had been supplied new, in Verona, Italy. The local dealer, INECO Ferrari serviced the car in 2015 with the mileage noted at just 8,232 km. Placed into storage, the car was sold via a German dealership to the current owner in 2017. At this time, the F50 was imported into the UK gaining a period registration mark at that time. Since 2017, the F50 has returned to Ferrari GrayPaul of Nottingham on no fewer than 7 occasions for annual servicing. Visiting DK Engineering in 2022 for new tyres, this example passed through our workshops in July 2024 for a further annual service. Meticulous focus on detail sees this example accompanied by its flight case and roof componentry, tools as well as an additional bespoke matching flight case with a complete set of spare wheels, suit carrier, brief case as well as the complete original exhaust system. Today this example is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately, presenting today with just 10,400 km from new and is Ferrari red book Classiche Certified. 1997 Ferrari F50 D.K.

- 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE 1
Launched at the Paris Auto Salon in 1960, the 250 GTE was the first production Ferrari 2+2. Borrowing its lengthy 2,600 mm chassis from that of the 250 GT PF Coupe and Cabriolet, there was enough room for two rear seats and a good-sized boot. The V12 moved 20cm closer to the nose of the car meant the car appealed to those looking for a grand tourer. The track was widened, improving both cabin space and roadholding abilities. This recipe proved to be good enough for both Il Commendatore and Squadra Mobile; the Milan Flying Squad that ordered two cars new. With a prototype starring as the official course car at the 1960 Le Mans 24 hr, the GTE was officially launched four months later at the Paris Motor Show in October. Still effortlessly fast, capable and practical, the Pininfarina clothed GTE was elegant and ideally suited to the more discerning Ferrari customer. 954 250 GTEs were built between 1960 and 1963 over three series, but just 46 were UK supplied RHD variants. Sadly, owing to their mechanical similarities, many RHD GTEs have been lost forever being used as donor cars for their running gear and identities for replicas of other extremely valuable Ferraris of the era such as California Spiders, 250 SWBs, 250 GTOs and 250 TRs. Today it is thought fewer than 25 UK supplied examples remain as GTEs. This example was supplied new on 3rd January 1962 as the 219th of 300 Series 1 examples built. Completed in Grigio Scuro over Beige Connolly hide, this example was supplied new to Ferrari’s Turin agent, Signor Fontanella. The car would pass to its second keeper in July of 1962, moving to Milan in the process. Its third keeper, the Devoto family of Cagliari in Sardinia purchased the car in May 1964. The car would remain in Sardinia passing down through the family and then onwards to the Dosso family in 1968. Mrs Dosso would use the car regularly and keep the GTE for a considerable 15 years. In 2001, following a restoration by former Ferrari employees, the 250 GTE would move to its new home in the Czech Republic. This example would be carefully looked after and presented at numerous shows within the region, including the Chateau Loucen Concours d’Elegance and later, finding residence at the capital’s Technical Museum in Prague- an exhibition supported by a 125S and F1 2001 from Ferrari’s Museum collection. Owned at the time by official dealership Scuderia Praha, the car was cared for in house. Following on from display in the Technical Museum, permission was granted for export and the car sold to the current owner, a London resident who has cared for the car since 2013. Shortly after arrival in the UK, the 250 GTE received a recommissioning service by marque specialists, Fosker’s Ferrari. A keen member of the GTE club of Great Britain, the car has been extensively shown at a multitude of concours events since. Testament to the care of the current owner, this GTE was awarded Ferrari Owners Club Certificate of Achievement in 2017 at Danesfield House, followed by the Salon Privé Car Club Secretary’s award at Blenheim Palace in 2020. An eminently usable example of Ferrari’s venerable Colombo-V12 powered GT Car, this 250 GTE today presents superbly. Unusually, this example is accompanied by Ferrari’s red book Classiche Certification awarded in 2016 and today the car presents in fine order. Extensively serviced by marque experts throughout the current 13-year ownership, this GTE is further accompanied by a thorough history folio and Massini Report. Thoroughly inspected by DK’s workshops prior to listing, this example will pass through our workshops once more as a part of the sale. 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE D.K.

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL stands as a perfect example of how listening to customer feedback can shape automotive history. Following the launch of the 300 SL, an astute American Mercedes dealer remarked that while enthusiasm for the model was immense, its price placed it out of reach for many who desired a weekend sports car. Stuttgart responded swiftly: that same year, the 190 SL—built on the Ponton platform—was unveiled at the New York Motor Show. Just twelve months later, the production version made its debut in Geneva. Interestingly, Mercedes never intended the 190 SL to be a pure sports car, but rather a refined two-seater grand tourer. The formula proved a resounding success, with more than 25,000 examples produced between 1955 and 1963. Our 190 SL has enjoyed a fascinating and beautifully documented life. First registered in the USA in 1962, it remained with its original owner for many years. From 1975 through to 2008, every annual Virginia Police inspection and service invoice was carefully retained — a truly rare level of provenance. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, the car was treated to a full nut-and-bolt restoration and refinished in its exquisite original shade of Hellblau. The result is nothing short of superb. This exceptional example checks every box and is ready to be enjoyed immediately. A wonderful opportunity to own one of Mercedes-Benz’s most elegant and desirable classics. 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia 1
ENGINEERING A JEWEL As a diamond that emerged from a figurative coalmine, the Fiat 8V was a shocking anomaly for a mass-market manufacturer better known for pedestrian models like the diminutive Topolino or the 500. Upon its introduction in 1952, Road & Track magazine described the 8V as “the biggest surprise of the year.” It was understandably a shock to the automotive world that, after decades of producing entry-level consumer models, Fiat would suddenly introduce a boutique-production sportscar. The 8V featured a jewel-like, advanced, overhead-valve, light-alloy V-8 engine, and a lightweight chassis fabricated by the competition-tuning specialist Siata. This chassis was particularly distinguished by the specification of four-wheel independent suspension, an incredibly advanced feature for 1953 that gave the car remarkable handling qualities. For this reason, the Otto Vu, as it was known in Italian, was a favorite of European racing privateers, and the model went on to be successfully campaigned all over the world. Like many sophisticated chassis of its era, the 8V was a prime candidate for custom coachwork. In addition to approximately 45 examples with factory coachwork designed by Fabio Lucio Rapi, the 8V was clothed in small batches by Vignale and Zagato, the latter of whose lightweight versions found great success in the Italian Sports Car Championships of the mid-1950s. But it was Carrozzeria Ghia’s run of 15 chassis that truly took the styling world by force, particularly with the stunning Jet Age design of the Supersonic coupe, which had been penned by the noted Giovanni Savonuzzi. Ghia mounted lightweight aluminum alloy Supersonic coachwork on 14 of the 15 8V chassis the company sourced from Fiat (with the lone outlying example being a one-off coupe of more traditional proportions). The Supersonic body style was first seen on an Alfa Romeo-powered race car prepared by specialist tuner Virgilio Conrero for the 1953 Mille Miglia. This masterpiece of artistic automotive design was characterized by a long front deck with a steeply raked windshield, a curved nose that led into a straight-through beltline, and small tailfins punctuated with tail lamps resembling jet exhaust. Soon thereafter American designer and informal Chrysler associate Paul Farago ordered similar coachwork for a Fiat 8V chassis, and 13 more copies followed, each of them bearing minor detail differences but remaining largely true to Savonuzzi’s original dramatic design. They are widely considered to be the most sought-after and desirable of the 8Vs, boasting the finest combination of avant garde design cues from the Jet Age. While the Supersonics are justifiably viewed as great achievements in automotive design, they are also historically significant as the opening salvo of a fruitful partnership between Ghia and Chrysler. With Farago’s consistent involvement, the two companies went on to collaborate on an assortment of important one-off show cars and limited-production models with input from American designer Virgil Exner, including the Chrysler GS1, the DeSoto Adventurer II, and the Plymouth Explorer. EMERGING FROM FIVE DECADES OF SECLUSION This exquisite Supersonic benefits from a short and well-documented ownership chain that has culminated in a painstaking restoration by some of Italy’s most respected craftsmen. The car has been notably absent from the collectible car niche for over six decades, making its reappearance for this offering an extremely rare opportunity. According to the combined data of Tony Adriaensens’ authoritative, model-specific tome Otto Vu, as well as research by the consignor, chassis number 000053 was dispatched from the Fiat factory in late July 1953. By dispatch date the 8V was the penultimate rolling chassis shipped to Ghia that year, although by chassis number and body number it is the eleventh of the 14 Supersonic examples built on a Fiat chassis. The coachwork was finished in the striking shade of blu medio metallizato over an interior upholstered in terra cotta leather, and the 8V is known to be the only Supersonic built in this exquisite color combination, making the car extremely unique. Later that year the Fiat was delivered to its first owner, Alessandro Sarti of San Marino, the landlocked microstate near Italy’s Adriatic coast. As demonstrated by a clipping on file from a 1955 issue of Auto Italiana, Mr. Sardi displayed his Supersonic at the Rimini Concours d’Elegance, and likely retained possession through the remainder of the decade. In 1960 the Fiat was sold to Piero Fagioli of Rimini, Italy, who reportedly purchased the car as a potential parts donor for an 8V that he used for racing. The Supersonic was stored and only rarely driven because of this, and ultimately no important parts were ever removed. Ten years later the car was acquired by Eduardo Tenconi, who was an official Fiat dealer in Milan. With two factory-coachwork 8V examples already in his possession, Mr. Tenconi chose to park the Supersonic in an underground garage, and it remained stored there in seclusion for more than 30 years. In 2001 the Fiat was discovered in this unique unrestored “barnyard find” condition by the consignor, a respected and discrete collector from Belgium. As an 8V enthusiast who had taken an interest in the model decades before it became fashionable, he was blown away by how original the car remained after so many years of storage. Fully aware of just how special the long-unseen Supersonic was, the consignor acquired the car without hesitation, and he then carefully mulled which restoration path to take and to whom he should entrust the work. The 8V remained stored until spring 2011, when the consignor finally commissioned the highly regarded Quality Cars of Vigonza, Italy to commence a restoration of the body and interior. As remainders of the original paint and leather were discovered intact, the specialists were able to match the samples and expertly refinish the alloy coachwork in the ravishing original Ghia color combination of blu medio metallizato paint over a terra cotta leather interior. This fascinating metallic paint color accentuates the complex, exquisite body lines better than any other color and perfectly fits the Jet Age-styled design of the Supersonic. The complexity of the execution of the body panels will come as no surprise to the more knowledgeable car enthusiast. To paraphrase Ghia’s slogan: “Why make it easy if you can make it complex?” The numerous fine details, including the front and rear fenders, the panel lines, and the door trim, all bear witness to this design philosophy. The Art Deco-styled bumpers provide a finishing touch to the extravagant design, while the polished Borrani wire wheels complete the period-correct presentation, making this car the best of the best. The interior was reappointed with the perfect choice: a selection of the finest quality leather in the shade of terra cotta, the color of the well-known Italian pottery. The original seats were still covered with the original leather, so it was relatively simple to match the color. The seats were hand-stitched and reupholstered in the traditional method, as shown in the documenting photos. The unusual and seldom-seen color perfectly harmonizes with the blu medio metallizato, making an elegant statement of the utmost taste. In conjunction with this work, the consignor retained Roberto de Checchi’s Motor Holding to address all mechanical considerations, which included a full rebuild of the matching-numbers engine and gearbox, as well as a complete rejuvenation of the chassis and related running gear. A number of measures were taken to tastefully improve the car’s performance, including the use of upgraded connecting rods and pistons, and a purpose-built and balanced crankshaft that has eliminated any drivetrain vibration. The jewel-like 8V engine was so masterfully overhauled that when tested on a dynamometer the unit developed almost 135 horsepower (approximately 30 horsepower more than standard tuning), with improved torque. These measures have made the car much more enjoyable to drive, making it an ideal candidate for vintage touring and driving events. After completion of the top-notch restoration in late 2014, the Supersonic was delivered to the consignor’s collection, and it has remained there ever since, never once shown or driven in any kind of event. In October 2023 the car was treated to a basic fluid service to ensure optimal mechanical condition for its current offering. After 63 years of cloistered care, chassis number 000053 now returns to the public eye, offering a rare opportunity for collectors of important postwar sports cars. It is arguably the most finely restored and authentically presented example of the fourteen 8V Supersonics. The restoration has not only reproduced the car’s breathtaking original color combination, but also addressed numerous details of correct presentation. This spectacular Supersonic should encounter a warm welcome at the world’s most prestigious concours d’elegance, or it may be privately driven and admired by its next caretaker for its remarkable engineering and design, and the fine rejuvenation wrought by some of Italy’s most respected restoration specialists. 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1987 Ford Sierra RS500
The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986 and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. In total 5,545 cars were produced, of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra RS500 Cosworth. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, 'Group A' rules allowed an upgraded 'evolution' model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224bhp, upgraded brakes, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled. The vast majority (392) were finished in Black, 56 in Diamond White and 52 in Moonstone Blue. Presented here is a 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 (#372/500) finished in black with grey cloth interior and sold by Ford main dealer, Grays of Guildford, to its Surrey-based, only registered owner. First registered on 14th August 1987, it remains remarkably original, still fitted with its original Ford mild-steel exhaust and sitting on Dunlop D40 tyres. It’s supplied with its original wallet with the service record detailing five Ford main dealer (Grays of Guildford) stamps up to 1990 at 28,948 miles. A separate check lists shows a further service at 33,000 miles during 1993. The most recent MOT dates from 1994. The car was purchased by our vendor when it had covered just over 41,600 miles, however, he chose not to register the car in his name (the V5C lists 'None' against the number of previous owners) and has also chosen never to use it although it has been started regularly and maintained during this period. This ‘lost’ RS500 still sports its original Grays of Guildford number plates and as you can see from the images, still presents remarkably well considering its lack of use. It started immediately during our visit and appeared ready to drive off for the day. 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1974 Lancia Beta Coupé Group 4
Following Fiat’s acquisition of Lancia in 1969, the Angelli-owned manufacturer felt the rallying success of the Lancia Stratos was not aiding conventional car sales. As a result of this and an aging Fulvia HF Coupé, the Lancia Beta Coupé was launched in June 1973. Looking to create a stir with a consumer-oriented coupé, Lancia Works prepared around a dozen early production 1.8-litre coupés to compete in Group 3, taking place from February to April 1974, when on 12th of that month, the Beta was homologated for Group 3. Until the Sanremo Rally on 2nd October 1974 (where a day earlier the Beta was finally homologated in Group 4), Lancia Beta Coupés prepared by Lancia Works were fielded in multiple Italian rally events across the country. Each result contributed towards the commonly unknown 1974 Lancia Beta Coupé Championship. Following Sanremo, Group 3 Betas were converted to Group 4 specification, in order to increase competitiveness. First registered on 28th January 1974, this Beta Coupé was equipped with a 1,756cc engine. The Estratto Cronologico shows that in February, the first owner was Lancia S.P.A., who held onto the car until 12th April, likely when they were modifying the vehicle to Group 3 specifications, and just before official FIA homologation. Sold to the first owner, a Miss Angela Frumento in Genova, a relative of Mr. Tabaton, the founder and president of Scuderia Grifone. Registered on Torino plates with the number TO K81158, chassis 1050 was liveried in white, with the bonnet sporting two large blue stripes and “H F” letters. In the 1974 season, Bruno Ferraris and Daniele Cianci were paired together as drivers, and drove the car on no less than nine occasions. Debuting on 29 June at the Rally Alpi Orientali, with race number 28, the duo finished 34th overall and 6th in class. For Sanremo, they still ran in Group 3, and the pair maintained a 4th in class position until the 8th stage, when they suffered from differential failure. Due to the nature of these regional rallies and the sheer volume of them, information for results of each event is scarce. However, in the Lancia Beta Coupé Championship, Bruno Ferraris finished 5th in the Drivers’ Championship. Scuderia Grifone took the decision to uprate chassis 1050 to Group 4 specifications for the 1975 season, the most distinguishing factor being the wide plastic wheel arch trims, and a Group four dashboard (components that the car still sports to this day). Giuseppe "Pippo" De Stefano was Grifone’s driver of choice for 1975, save for Sanremo and the Rally Piacentine, where Ferraris and Cianci returned. In 1976, Guide del Prete became drove chassis 1050 alongside Cianci, in four known events, with the Rally Targa d’Oro their best result, coming in at 14th overall. Following this season, it marked the end of this Beta’s time with Scuderia Grifone, who sold the car to Garage Centrale, owned by Roberto Beretta. The Estratto notes it entered his name on 3 April 1978, with the registration CO 532967 – which the car today still retains. On 21 July that year, Beretta entered and raced at the Rally Piacentine, sporting race number 59, the car bore an interesting livery of blue with red highlights under the Jolly Club banner. By 31 March 1979 at the Rally Città di Modena, chassis 1050 now had black bodywork, with blue, red, and white sweeping side stripes as well as a lower white band starting at the front diffuser and carrying down along the wheel arches, skirts and around the rear of the car. Now under the Beretta-Lucco Team, Beretta drove on nearly all occasions with his partner Francesca Pozzi – who at Modena finished 36th overall and 4th in Class. Beretta fielded chassis 1050 in the 1979 and 1980 seasons, before retiring the car and driving a Montecarlo. A detailed race chart is available to view online, and on file are various photographs of chassis 1050 at rallies from 1974 until 1980. Beretta retained the car (and later under his of co-driver’s name – Laura Julita) until 1994 when it was sold to Mr. Vallauri of Borgo San Dalmazzo. Changing hands again in 1995 and 1997, this Beta Coupé then entered storage as part of a large collection until 2016, when the previous owner acquired this vehicle from RM Sotheby’s Duemila Route sale. Remaining in Roberto Beretta’s care for 17 years preserved this Group 4 Lancia Beta Coupé. Still wearing Beretta-Lecco livery, the interior takes onlookers back to rallying in the 1970s. The dashboard is of Lancia Works origin and matches what is pictured on the 1974 Group 4 FIA homologation papers. Instructed by the previous owner, the masterful Italian rally preparation expert Facetti rebuilt the engine, while another workshop restored the suspension and running gear of this car; masterfully blending preservation with the ability to compete in historic rallying events. The new owner would be eligible to compete at Modena Cento Ore, FIA Historic Rally Championship, and Tour Auto. As a time-warp example, this Group 4 Lancia Beta Coupé is one of the earliest examples prepared by Lancia Works and has a fascinating competition history. Its recent mechanical preparation provides an exciting opportunity for rallying enthusiasts to acquire a true gem from 1970s Group 4 rallying heritage. 1974 Lancia Beta Coupé Group 4 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1969-lamborghini-miura-p400s-by-bertone
In 1926 Ernest Hemingway immortalized the legendary Miura bull in his modernist novel The Sun Also Rises, describing a creature both powerful and lithe, menacing and majestic. Forty years later, Ferruccio Lamborghini introduced his automotive interpretation of the Miura, and in every way the new car projected the values of its namesake. Replete with all the grace and power of Pamplona’s bulls, the Miura P400 was a revolutionary sports car in every sense, from its transversely positioned mid-rear-mounted V-12 engine, to the sinewy and voluptuous coachwork by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini. For a short time, the Miura proudly claimed to be the fastest production sports car in the world. At the Geneva Salon in March 1970 Lamborghini introduced an updated version of the Miura, the P400S. It featured minor cosmetic updates, including exterior chrome trim, and revised interior switch gear with a new ceiling-mounted center console, as well as power windows. An enlarged intake manifold added 20 horsepower over the standard Miura, making the new car both aesthetically superior and more powerful than the original. Among a combined output of approximately 753 total examples produced across all Miura variants, the P400S was built in a relatively modest quantity of 338 examples. To this day the model remains prized by discerning collectors for its uprated performance and elevated cosmetics, making it one of the more desirable versions of Lamborghini’s legendary bull. Featuring a beautiful and distinctive color combination, and benefiting from a restoration by a marque expert, this Miura S is a breathtaking example of the groundbreaking supercar. As confirmed by an entry in the Lamborghini Miura Register, chassis number 3919 is an early-production S model, and it was factory-finished in Giallo Miura paint over an interior of Nero faux leather and Bleu cloth. In late January 1969 the Lamborghini was dispatched to the Turin-based dealer Lamborauto, from which the car was delivered to the first owner, an influential Italian film critic and director named Renzo Renzi. While much of the Miura’s interim history is currently unknown, by the early 2000s the P400S had relocated to the United States and was finished in purple. Reportedly not running for several years, the car was submitted for complete restoration to the Bobileff Motorcar Company, the well-known Lamborghini specialty firm in Southern California. Following completion of the refurbishment in 2008, the rejuvenated Miura S was presented at a small number of events, including the 2011 Concorso Italiano, where it won the Early V-12 Class and the People’s Choice Award, and the Palos Verdes Concours d’Elegance, where it won its class again. In 2017 the Lamborghini was treated to a refinish in the dazzling original color scheme of Giallo Miura over a Bleu interior, as currently presented. Mechanical service in the ensuing years is reported to have included installing a 100-amp alternator and other work on the electrical system in 2018; rebuilding the triple-choke Weber 40 IDL 3C carburetors in 2020; and replacing the starter crown gear in 2021 and the clutch slave cylinder and muffler in 2023. In January 2026, work by specialists Fast Cars Ltd. in Redondo Beach, California, included servicing the distributor, as indicated by an invoice on file. This beautifully presented Miura S is one of the most visually arresting examples to be offered in some time, further enhanced by the presence of its numbers-matching engine, as indicated by stampings corresponding to register data. The P400S is accompanied by owner’s manuals, and it is documented with entries in authoritative model-specific sources such as the International Lamborghini Registry, the Lamborghini Miura Register, and The Lamborghini Miura Bible. Ideal for presentation at Italian car shows or Lamborghini-focused events, this sensational P400S is a benchmark V-12 supercar sure to add distinctive flair to any sporting collection. 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S by Bertone RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Forty years later, Ferruccio Lamborghini introduced his automotive interpretation of the Miura, and in every way the new car projected the values of its namesake. Replete with all the grace and power of Pamplona’s bulls, the Miura P400 was a revolutionary sports car in every sense, from its transversely positioned mid-rear-mounted V-12 engine, to the sinewy and voluptuous coachwork by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini. For a short time, the Miura proudly claimed to be the fastest production sports car in the world. At the Geneva Salon in March 1970 Lamborghini introduced an updated version of the Miura, the P400S. It featured minor cosmetic updates, including exterior chrome trim, and revised interior switch gear with a new ceiling-mounted center console, as well as power windows. An enlarged intake manifold added 20 horsepower over the standard Miura, making the new car both aesthetically superior and more powerful than the original. Among a combined output of approximately 753 total examples produced across all Miura variants, the P400S was built in a relatively modest quantity of 338 examples. To this day the model remains prized by discerning collectors for its uprated performance and elevated cosmetics, making it one of the more desirable versions of Lamborghini’s legendary bull.
