In July 1981, the most radical evolution of the Renault 5 was launched. Marcello Gandini maximized the lines of the popular French utility vehicle by widening the hips excessively, necessary to accommodate the engine and transmission, which were now located behind the -only- front seats. Thus, the link between street and competition was born. The Renault 5 Turbo was born. The new Dieppe creation soon proved its worth in the world of rallying, winning the Monte-Carlo Rally that same year and twice winning the Tour de Corse, with a certain Jean Ragnotti at the wheel, beating the Audi Quattro, Lancia 037 and Porsche 911 with his spectacular driving skills. The unit we are offering today is a Renault 5 Turbo 2, the evolution of the Renault 5 Turbo. Its engine, a 1.4-litre four-cylinder Cévennes, develops 250 hp, thanks to a ball-bearing turbo and an improved camshaft. It also has a high-flow fuel pump. All this display of power is topped off with a 4 to 1 exhaust manifold configuration. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via a short-throw gearbox with self-locking, and a height- and hardness-adjustable coilover suspension is responsible for keeping it glued to the asphalt. Its body is painted in the same colours and decoration as the model that competed in the 1983 Monte Carlo Rally, and it has the front bumper of the Tour de Corse version installed with a Super Oscar Rally lighting kit. The wheels, Speedline Corse, with a spectacular rear groove, hide AP Racing 4-piston steel disc brakes. The brake force distributor and the double brake pump are from the same firm. It also has a hydraulic handbrake Inside, a Renault 5 Turbo 1, we are greeted by an Iso Delta racing steering wheel and two firm Mod Plastia bucket seats, on which rest Sabelt 4-point harnesses attached to Renault Sport 6-point roll bars 1983 Renault 5 Turbo 2 Auto Storica If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Alfa Romeo Spider Series 2 was launched to the public in 1970 with many exterior and interior changes, the most significant of which was the Kamm tail rear which greatly improved luggage space. Produced until the early 1990s, the spider is considered one of Alfa’s greatest successes. The Spider shares many of the Alfa Giulia mechanicals including the twin cam inline four-cylinder engine and independent front and solid axle rear suspension. The Spider was one of the first sports cars to incorporate front and rear crumple zones. In 1971 Alfa Romeo introduced the more powerful 2000 Spider. Powered by a 1,962cc twin cam engine mated to a five speed manual gearbox, this gave the Spider a top speed of more than 120mph from its 132hp engine. The Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 offered for sale at Autostorcio is a 1989 example and is finished in Alfa Rosso with a Black hood and Black interior trim. This lovely example was imported and registered in the United Kingdom by Bell and Colvill Ltd of Surrey and has covered an indicated 45,693 miles. Having been maintained to a very high standard with recent works including a full service, brake overhaul and new tyres being fitted. Offered for sale with an extensive history file including a current V5 certificate, numerous invoices, previous MOT certificates and other related material. A truly unique opportunity to own such an iconic Italian classic, which will only appreciate further over time. 1989 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Autostorico Partners LLP If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Created to spearhead Mercedes-Benz's return to competition in the post-war era, the 300SL debuted in the 1952 Mille Miglia, finishing 2nd and 4th overall. Wins in the Carrera Pan-Americana and at Le Mans followed, and the 300SL was on its way to becoming part of motor sporting legend. The first racers were open-topped but before the '52 season's end the distinctive gull-wing doored Coupé had appeared. Unusually high sills were a feature of the multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, and while access was not a problem of the open car, the adoption of coupé bodywork required innovative thinking - hence the gull-wing doors. Launched in 1954, the production 300SL retained the spaceframe chassis of the racer and was powered by a 2,996cc, overhead-camshaft, inline six canted at 45 degrees to achieve a lower, more aerodynamic bonnet line. Using innovative direct fuel injection, this state-of-the-art power unit produced 215bhp at 5,800rpm. A four-speed gearbox transmitted power to the hypoid bevel rear axle. Suspension was independent all round by wishbones and coil springs at the front, with swing axles and coil springs at the rear. Tested by the highly respected American magazine Road & Track in 1955, the 300SL accelerated from 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds, going on to achieve a top speed of 140mph: outstanding figures for its day. It was, arguably, the world's first supercar. Clearly the 300SL Coupé would be a hard act to follow yet the Roadster version, introduced just three years later, succeeded in bettering its closed cousin's already exemplary road manners. Built with conventional doors, the 300SL Roadster was first exhibited at the Geneva Salon in May 1957 and was an immediate hit with the 1950s 'jet set' including royalty, actors and socialites. The production of an open 300SL involved altering the cockpit area, where the spaceframe was redesigned to permit lower sills for improved access. At the same time the rear suspension was changed to incorporate low-pivot swing axles. The 300SL Roadster sold well for a car that cost more than a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder, and would out-live the 300SL Coupé by several years This wonderful matching numbers 300 SL Roadster left the factory on 9th December 1957 to be sent to distributor Studebaker/Packard in South Bend, Indiana, USA. The original colour scheme was Hellblau with white leather interior and beige hood. Other original features listed include instruments in English/miles, sealed-beam headlights, 'Made in Western Germany' plaques, Becker Mexico radio, reversing light, and a 3.89:1 ratio rear axle. It is understood that this 300 SL had just two keepers in the USA, moving from Indiana to Bayshore, New York for its second custodian, Mr Rager. Rager would keep the 300 SL until 1989 when it was sold back to Germany with just 33,000 miles to a specialist restorer, Mr Kaesmacher of Dusseldorf. During At that time the car was re-trimmed in Cognac leather and was also fitted with European headlamps and a new black soft-top. The engine and gearbox were overhauled and other mechanical works carried out by Kaesmacher. 2011 saw the car move to 300 SL specialists HK Engineering who carried out further documented works to the car. Shortly thereafter, the car was purchased by noted expert Ivan Page-Radcliff who imported the car into the UK. Page-Radcliff’s subject expertise was unrivalled, with a career that had started out selling 300 SL from Brooklands Motor Cars in period. As a man who sold over 100 300 SL Gullwings, he certainly knew how to find a great example. In 2013 the 300 SL was sold to a French collector where it would remain for a further two years ahead of return and reimportation to the UK by the current owner in 2015. In the past ten years, this example has been used sparingly, received routine maintenance by DK Engineering and more recently, Riverside Engineering. As confirmed by Martin Cushway in January 2025, all numbers on this 300 SL roadster match the original data card; chassis, engine, gearbox etc, including each of the wheels and the spare. It is understood that fewer than 50% of Roadster production retains its original gearbox today. Today this example presents well, accompanied by its history folio and UK registration and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster D.K.

Built with conventional doors, the 300SL Roadster was first exhibited at the Geneva Salon in May 1957 and was an immediate hit with the 1950s 'jet set' including royalty, actors and socialites. The production of an open 300SL involved altering the cockpit area, where the spaceframe was redesigned to permit lower sills for improved access. At the same time the rear suspension was changed to incorporate low-pivot swing axles. The 300SL Roadster sold well for a car that cost more than a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder, and would out-live the 300SL Coupé by several years This wonderful matching numbers 300 SL Roadster left the factory on 9th December 1957 to be sent to distributor Studebaker/Packard in South Bend, Indiana, USA. The original colour scheme was Hellblau with white leather interior and beige hood. Other original features listed include instruments in English/miles, sealed-beam headlights, 'Made in Western Germany' plaques, Becker Mexico radio, reversing light, and a 3.89:1 ratio rear axle. It is understood that this 300 SL had just two keepers in the USA, moving from Indiana to Bayshore, New York for its second custodian, Mr Rager. Rager would keep the 300 SL until 1989 when it was sold back to Germany with just 33,000 miles to a specialist restorer, Mr Kaesmacher of Dusseldorf. During At that time the car was re-trimmed in Cognac leather and was also fitted with European headlamps and a new black soft-top. The engine and gearbox were overhauled and other mechanical works carried out by Kaesmacher. 2011 saw the car move to 300 SL specialists HK Engineering who carried out further documented works to the car. Shortly thereafter, the car was purchased by noted expert Ivan Page-Radcliff who imported the car into the UK. Page-Radcliff’s subject expertise was unrivalled, with a career that had started out selling 300 SL from Brooklands Motor Cars in period. As a man who sold over 100 300 SL Gullwings, he certainly knew how to find a great example. In 2013 the 300 SL was sold to a French collector where it would remain for a further two years ahead of return and reimportation to the UK by the current owner in 2015. In the past ten years, this example has been used sparingly, received routine maintenance by DK Engineering and more recently, Riverside Engineering. As confirmed by Martin Cushway in January 2025, all numbers on this 300 SL roadster match the original data card; chassis, engine, gearbox etc, including each of the wheels and the spare. It is understood that fewer than 50% of Roadster production retains its original gearbox today. Today this example presents well, accompanied by its history folio and UK registration and is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. Other Cars from D.K.

Few automobiles of the Classic Era could compare in prestige, grandeur, and performance to the Mercedes-Benz 540 K, inarguably one of the finest and most beautiful cars ever to come from Stuttgart. Engineered by Hans Nibel, the 540 K boasted a pushrod overhead-valve inline eight-cylinder engine, displacing 5,401 cubic centimeters and equipped with a double-vane Roots-type supercharger. When engaged at full throttle, the supercharger boosted horsepower to 180, enabling most any style to reach 100 mph. Chassis number 130945 is a very special car. As a relatively early example of the 540 K, it was thus delivered with the so-called first-series Cabriolet A body. One of the most attractive styles on the 540 K, the first-series Cabriolet A was essentially a copy of that used on the 500 K, to its benefit; it features the long, flowing open fenders that visually emphasize the power lurking between them, as well as double rear-mounted spares that further add an appearance of length and grace, and an extremely low windshield. The early 540 K Cabriolet A clearly recalls the lines of the great SSKs in a way that few other bodies do, and thus these are among the most desirable designs on this great chassis. The Daimler-Benz kommission sheet, a copy of which is on file, shows that chassis number 130945 was indeed delivered as a Cabriolet A, with the client of record having been Mrs. Maria Leyder of Stuttgart. Like many 540 Ks, the car eventually made its way to the United States in the post-war era, and was purchased, likely in the 1950s, by Don Rounds of Denver, Colorado. President of the Don M. Rounds Drilling Company, he was an internationally known oil driller and wildcatter, credited by his obituary as “one of the important oil figures who led the Rocky Mountain oil boom following World War II.” He also had fine taste in cars, as he also possessed a Duesenberg Model J in the same era. Following Mr. Rounds’s passing in 1969, the 540 K was offered by his estate; a description of the car, from the records of historian Jonathan Sierakowski and included in the file, notes that it had been mechanically restored but was likely still wearing its original finishes, with accompanying photographs showing it in apparently very good and intact condition. It was sold from the estate in 1970 to engineer Lowell E. Ledford of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who kept the car for 15 years, undertaking its first restoration. In his care it was awarded its Primary First Place, with a perfect 100 points, at the Classic Car Club of America Gulf Area Grand Classic in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1977. Mr. Ledford sold the car to Don Williams of the Blackhawk Collection in 1985. A color photograph published in the second volume of Jan Melin’s book, Mercedes-Benz: The Supercharged 8-Cylinder Cars of the 1930s, shows the car in this period, painted the red that was then de rigeur for any self-respecting 540 K. Subsequent owners included Japanese collector Nachiro Ishikawa, who maintained the car in California but occasionally journeyed with it to Europe; reportedly he drove it twice in the famed Monte Carlo Historic Rally, finishing 1st in the event in both 1991 and 1994. In the mid-1990s he sold the car to the longtime Mercedes-Benz procurer, Thomas Taffet, who would become its next longtime owner and caretaker. The car was sold from the Taffet collection in 2011, and following a brief period with a collector in the UAE, was returned to the United States and purchased for the present owner’s collection, in which it has remained since. Its older restoration was freshened cosmetically near the end of Mr. Taffet’s long ownership, and is still quite attractive overall, with its red and black finish an elegant contrast to the bright red interior, as proven by its exhibition at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2019. Both the chassis and engine number stamps are original, as is the firewall data plate. More recently, the car received a service in preparation for sale by the highly regarded firm of Fast Cars in Redondo Beach, California, invoices for which work are included in the file. A lovely example of the 540 K in its highly sought-after first-series Cabriolet A form, this car has the beautiful, graceful lines and robust performance that one seeks in this significant model. It would be an ideal, astute acquisition for the new owner seeking a supercharged Mercedes-Benz for touring or regional concours competition, where it would undoubtedly be warmly welcomed as it has by enthusiasts for half a century. It has all the appeal that it did in the hands of Mrs. Leyder in 1936. 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A by Sindelfingen RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

THE ULTIMATE COLLABORATION In the pursuits of mankind, be it in the milieu of art, sport, or commerce, there have occasionally transpired collaborative moments that seem to transcend the limitations of reality. This widely understood phenomenon of a product that somehow exceeds the sum of its parts may be an aberration of our sense of simple arithmetic, but we have undoubtedly witnessed it nevertheless. Think of those nearly magical moments when two agents, each of outstanding individual merit in its own right, combine to forge something that wildly succeeds beyond anyone’s imagination. Think Paul and John; Magic and Kareem; Nike and MJ. In each of these examples, two individual forces combined to result in a product so special that it evolved into a legitimate cultural moment before flirting with the status of legend. In the automotive realm, there may be no better embodiment of this concept than Maserati and Zagato during the early 1950s; one a racing powerhouse aspiring to road car legitimacy, the other a design concern on the cusp of its most expressive and timeless sculptures. The ultimate result of this iconic collaboration was none other than the peak of form and function; a model so brutally effective in competition it hardly dared to be so voluptuous, and a car so achingly beautiful to look at it was barely to be believed it could be so fast and agile—the Maserati A6G/54 Spyder with coachwork by Zagato. For within this noteworthy competition-proven model, which was bodied by Zagato as a racing berlinetta, the engineers of Modena advanced the ultimate development of the A6G sports-racing platform, while the stylists at the Milanese coachbuilder penned one of their most celebrated designs. Yet as powerful, beautiful, and rare as the closed berlinetta version of the A6G/54 was, the model was actually inaugurated with an example even more special, the featured lot, and the only open-bodied example built; chassis number 2101. The A6G/54 was initially introduced at the 1954 Turin Motor show with a prototype built on chassis number 2063 that wore 2+2 coupe coachwork by Frua. As a roadgoing development of the A6GCS/53 barchetta sports-racers, the new model’s advanced dual-overhead cam engine was now detuned for street use with chain-driven timing gear and wet sump lubrication. Following the Frua-bodied show car, Maserati commenced a new numbering sequence for the model that began with chassis number 2101, the featured Spyder. Ultimately limited to a modest batch of 60 total examples, the A6G/54 chassis output was divided among three coachbuilders, with a Michelotti-designed coupe built by Allemano accounting for approximately 21 cars, open and closed versions by Frua reaching 18 cars, and the Zagato examples making up the balance of 21 cars. Zagato’s version is overwhelmingly preferred by many sporting enthusiasts for its aerodynamic, curvaceous styling, which was executed in aluminum alloy for optimal weight savings and competition advantage. While the cars by Allemano and Frua were positioned more as luxurious grand tourers, the Zagato cars were just as assuredly racing machines, with their lightweight coachwork and more spartan interior arrangements. Yet as thrilling as the racing berlinettas are, the sole open Spyder teases a glimpse of so much more… UNREALIZED TIMELINES – FROM PARIS TO LA PAMPA A research report by marque authority Adolfo Orsi commissioned by the most recent owner adds considerable insight to past anecdotal accounts that chassis number 2101 may have been originally ordered by Juan Perón, the famed postwar Argentinian presidential strongman and world-renowned sports car enthusiast. While no “smoking gun” document has yet surfaced that unequivocally demonstrates Peron’s connection to the car, Orsi lays out a convincing field of circumstantial evidence that lends considerable weight to the claim. According to Orsi’s research of factory archives, the Spyder was dispatched from Maserati to Zagato for coachwork on November 18, 1954, with a note near the customer field that read “Argentina”. This clue that the A6G/54 was slated for ownership by Perón was later indirectly confirmed by a 1961 piece of correspondence from the factory. There is little doubt that the runaway successes of Argentine national Juan Manuel Fangio on auto racing’s biggest stage greatly invigorated the appreciation of motorsports and automotive culture in his homeland. Having already won one world championship for Alfa Romeo in 1951, Fangio was frequently racing for Maserati during 1953 and early 1954, serving as a link between the automaker and President Perón that would pave the way for the import of industrial machinery made by Modena’s subsidiaries. Chassis number 2101 might well have been delivered to its Argentine buyer had not politics exploded in a different direction. By early 1955, Perón had begun to fall out of public favor, and this overwhelming national sentiment soon surged into a full-on popular revolt that resulted in the strongman’s exile. This remarkable turn of events had a silver lining, of course; with the Spyder remaining in its possession, Maserati had retained an ideal flagship to show off during the upcoming season of auto salons. Photographic evidence demonstrates the gradual aesthetic evolution of chassis number 2101 during its first few years. A picture of the Spyder taken at the Zagato plant during the winter of 1954 to 1955 shows it fitted with a split windscreen that extended to the far edges of the body, and an outsized and stylized Trident ornament on the grille that was notably missing its vertical base. Also featuring an unvented flat hood, foglamps, and unvented front fenders, the car was equipped with Borrani wire wheels and finished in Blu Algido Scuro (Dark Ice Blue) paint. Photos taken a few months later in early 1955 show the windshield in the same basic shape, but now as a single pane of glass without a dividing spine, while the front fascia has been fitted with a wire mesh grille, over which the unconventional Trident ornament was completed with the base limb. In this appearance, the A6G/54 made its first public appearance at the Geneva Salon in March 1955, where it was beautifully flanked by an A6GCS/53 race car, encapsulating the company’s finest offerings for both grand touring and sports-racing applications. After receiving rave reviews from onlookers and the automotive press, and with delivery to Perón most likely in a very doubtful state by this time, chassis number 2101 was returned to the Maserati factory, where it would undergo further adjustments. Nineteen months later 2101 was presented again, this time at the 1956 Paris Salon on the stand of Thepanier, the official Maserati importer to France. As evidenced by period media coverage of the show, by this time the A6G/54 was fitted with several key details that defined its final lasting configuration, including a smaller curved one-piece wraparound windscreen, a new hood with a raised engine intake scoop, elegantly vented front fenders, and a new grille ornament consisting of a more standard Trident badge. Following the show’s conclusion, 2101 was returned to the factory again and remained there in storage until April 1959. NEW HORIZONS – A JOURNEY INTO AMERICAN OWNERSHIP Issued a certificate of origin in December 1958, the A6G/54 was earmarked for customer availability and soon sold to Louis W. Schroeder, an American diplomat working at the US embassy in Paris. A few months after taking delivery of the Spyder in April 1959, Mr. Schroeder drove the Maserati to La Sarthe to watch the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he was undoubtedly delighted by fellow countryman Carroll Shelby’s victory with the Aston Martin team. In April 1960 Schroeder sold the Maserati to Sherrod Santos, a US Air Force lieutenant-colonel assigned to the Chateauroux Air Station in France. Santos commissioned the factory to rebuild the engine in August 1962, although he was dissatisfied with the results and engaged further work from a French specialist. Per his correspondence with the Maserati factory, by November 1963 Santos had returned stateside to work at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, accompanied of course by the stylish Spyder. In 1966 Colonel Santos sold the Maserati (which by this time was repainted in Rosso), in all likelihood to George Sackman of Carmel, California. Sackman undoubtedly owned the A6G/54 by the time of his factory correspondence of July 1968, and he kept the car as late as 1970 before selling it to San Francisco-area resident Angelo Ferro, the Italian-American owner of the Genoa Racing Team. After very little use Mr. Ferro put 2101 into storage, and it remained domiciled for a remarkable period of approximately 30 years, ensuring a high degree of originality. In August 2001 the Maserati was visited at the team’s facility in nearby Novato by Adolfo Orsi, who was engaged to help research the car’s history. At this time team chief Ed Nelson was overseeing a comprehensive restoration of the Spyder to its 1958 configuration, which was ultimately completed in 2003. This work included a rebuild of the engine by Ferrari specialist Paul Hasselgren, a repaint in the original factory color of Blu Algisto Scuro by Rob Etcheverry, and a retrimming of the interior by Ken Nemineck. The Maserati then began a tour of world-class concours d’elegance, starting with presentation at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A year later at the 2004 Quail Motorsports Gathering the Spyder garnered 1st place in the Post War Sports Car class, and in 2005 the car won Best of Show at Concorso Italiano, and multiple awards at the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance. Around this time the A6G/54 was the subject of a feature article in the July 2005 issue of Sports Car International magazine, and it was also profiled in the April 2006 issue of Classic Cars. Following an invitation to the special Zagato display at the Quail once again in 2006, the Maserati was acquired in October 2010 by a respected collector based in the United Kingdom. The Spyder’s exhibition career then continued with an appearance in September 2011 at the special Zagato presentation at the Florence Concorso Unique Special Ones, after which the car was displayed at the Museo Panini in Modena for nearly 18 months. This period included a more temporary exhibition across town to commemorate the official opening of the Museo Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari. After completing its museum appointments in Italy, the Maserati continued to be shown at the world’s most exclusive automotive gatherings, with appearances at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and the St. James Concours d’Elegance. In November 2013 the Maserati was sold in an auction titled Art of the Automobile, held in late 2013 in partnership between what was then RM Auctions and Sotheby’s at Sotheby’s York Avenue headquarters to the well-known American collector Oscar Davis. Following his purchase, the car was fastidiously maintained by the respected Leydon Restorations of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their attention included the installation of a new fuel pump, a rebuild of the carburetors, and attention to the brakes and fuel system. Following Mr. Davis’ unfortunate passing, the A6G/54 was again offered by RM Sotheby’s in August 2022 alongside the remainder of his impressive collection, at which point the car was sold to a respected collector based in Southern California. After successfully completing the 2022 Colorado Grand, the Maserati was entrusted to the well-known Italian sports car specialists Fast Cars Ltd of Redondo Beach, California, for additional restoration measures. Mr. Orsi was again retained to provide details of historic accuracy, resulting in his thorough report (which also notes the continued presence of the matching-numbers engine). Following the completion of this work, the Spyder returned to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2024, this time winning its class and earning the Jules Heumann Special Award for the Most Elegant Open Car. Incredibly rare and meticulously restored over a twenty year period, this award winning one-off Zagato Spyder is a breathtaking example of Maserati’s celebrated Italian Sports Car Championship-winning A6G/54 model. It is desirably documented with factory build records, build sheet copies, period photographs, former owner’s correspondence, prior registrations, magazine articles, an entry in Walter Baumer’s book Maserati A6G 2000 Zagato, and the highly detailed history report by marque authority Adolfo Orsi. Ideal for further display at the world’s most exclusive concours d’elegance, and eligible for vintage touring events including the Mille Miglia, this exquisite slice of la dolce vita would make an unparalleled addition to any sporting collection. As one of the automotive realm’s ultimate collaborations, 2101 would make a peerless acquisition for any sports car enthusiast; for the Zagato completist or Trident diehard, it is quite simply an obligatory must-have! 1955 Maserati A6G/54 2000 Spyder Zagato RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A few months after taking delivery of the Spyder in April 1959, Mr. Schroeder drove the Maserati to La Sarthe to watch the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he was undoubtedly delighted by fellow countryman Carroll Shelby’s victory with the Aston Martin team. In April 1960 Schroeder sold the Maserati to Sherrod Santos, a US Air Force lieutenant-colonel assigned to the Chateauroux Air Station in France. Santos commissioned the factory to rebuild the engine in August 1962, although he was dissatisfied with the results and engaged further work from a French specialist. Per his correspondence with the Maserati factory, by November 1963 Santos had returned stateside to work at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, accompanied of course by the stylish Spyder. In 1966 Colonel Santos sold the Maserati (which by this time was repainted in Rosso), in all likelihood to George Sackman of Carmel, California. Sackman undoubtedly owned the A6G/54 by the time of his factory correspondence of July 1968, and he kept the car as late as 1970 before selling it to San Francisco-area resident Angelo Ferro, the Italian-American owner of the Genoa Racing Team. After very little use Mr. Ferro put 2101 into storage, and it remained domiciled for a remarkable period of approximately 30 years, ensuring a high degree of originality. In August 2001 the Maserati was visited at the team’s facility in nearby Novato by Adolfo Orsi, who was engaged to help research the car’s history. At this time team chief Ed Nelson was overseeing a comprehensive restoration of the Spyder to its 1958 configuration, which was ultimately completed in 2003. This work included a rebuild of the engine by Ferrari specialist Paul Hasselgren, a repaint in the original factory color of Blu Algisto Scuro by Rob Etcheverry, and a retrimming of the interior by Ken Nemineck. The Maserati then began a tour of world-class concours d’elegance, starting with presentation at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A year later at the 2004 Quail Motorsports Gathering the Spyder garnered 1st place in the Post War Sports Car class, and in 2005 the car won Best of Show at Concorso Italiano, and multiple awards at the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance. Around this time the A6G/54 was the subject of a feature article in the July 2005 issue of Sports Car International magazine, and it was also profiled in the April 2006 issue of Classic Cars. Following an invitation to the special Zagato display at the Quail once again in 2006, the Maserati was acquired in October 2010 by a respected collector based in the United Kingdom. The Spyder’s exhibition career then continued with an appearance in September 2011 at the special Zagato presentation at the Florence Concorso Unique Special Ones, after which the car was displayed at the Museo Panini in Modena for nearly 18 months. This period included a more temporary exhibition across town to commemorate the official opening of the Museo Casa Natale Enzo Ferrari. After completing its museum appointments in Italy, the Maserati continued to be shown at the world’s most exclusive automotive gatherings, with appearances at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and the St. James Concours d’Elegance. In November 2013 the Maserati was sold in an auction titled Art of the Automobile, held in late 2013 in partnership between what was then RM Auctions and Sotheby’s at Sotheby’s York Avenue headquarters to the well-known American collector Oscar Davis. Following his purchase, the car was fastidiously maintained by the respected Leydon Restorations of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their attention included the installation of a new fuel pump, a rebuild of the carburetors, and attention to the brakes and fuel system. Following Mr. Davis’ unfortunate passing, the A6G/54 was again offered by RM Sotheby’s in August 2022 alongside the remainder of his impressive collection, at which point the car was sold to a respected collector based in Southern California. After successfully completing the 2022 Colorado Grand, the Maserati was entrusted to the well-known Italian sports car specialists Fast Cars Ltd of Redondo Beach, California, for additional restoration measures. Mr. Orsi was again retained to provide details of historic accuracy, resulting in his thorough report (which also notes the continued presence of the matching-numbers engine). Following the completion of this work, the Spyder returned to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2024, this time winning its class and earning the Jules Heumann Special Award for the Most Elegant Open Car. Incredibly rare and meticulously restored over a twenty year period, this award winning one-off Zagato Spyder is a breathtaking example of Maserati’s celebrated Italian Sports Car Championship-winning A6G/54 model. It is desirably documented with factory build records, build sheet copies, period photographs, former owner’s correspondence, prior registrations, magazine articles, an entry in Walter Baumer’s book Maserati A6G 2000 Zagato, and the highly detailed history report by marque authority Adolfo Orsi. Ideal for further display at the world’s most exclusive concours d’elegance, and eligible for vintage touring events including the Mille Miglia, this exquisite slice of la dolce vita would make an unparalleled addition to any sporting collection. As one of the automotive realm’s ultimate collaborations, 2101 would make a peerless acquisition for any sports car enthusiast; for the Zagato completist or Trident diehard, it is quite simply an obligatory must-have!

“Come upon an XJ220 for the first time and you see pure automotive sculpture, a Rodin on wheels, a shape that—to hell with practicalities—is simply gorgeous.” It was love at first drive for automotive journalist Galvin Green as he climbed behind the wheel of Jaguar’s all-new XJ220 in August 1992. Writing for CAR Magazine, Green was so taken with the car’s grace, pace, and space, he continued, “Jaguar’s old motto is honorably maintained. Here is a 200mph monster that will fusslessly transport you, and friend, to the south of France with ease…nothing about driving the XJ220 is difficult.” Dreamt as a full competition racer with no production plans, the Jaguar XJ220 was intended to prove the team at Coventry could still design, engineer, and manufacture supercars on par with its German and Italian competitors. Upon debut at the 1988 Birmingham Auto Show however, so many buyers stood waiting with open checkbooks that Jaguar was forced to reconsider its production plans. The civilian XJ220 was to be a powerful and aerodynamic two-seat, all-wheel-drive coupe capable of more than 200 mph while providing a superior level of luxury and comfort to other supercars of the time, including the celebrated Porsche 959 and spartan Ferrari F40. Entering production in 1992, the XJ220 followed the iconic XK120 in being named for its projected top speed, 220 mph, which was nearly achieved in a time trial on the high-bank test track in Nardo, Italy. The car proved quicker to 60 mph than both the F40 and Lamborghini Diablo and even set a new lap record for a production car at the Nürburgring. THE LAST XJ220 The XJ220 on offer here, chassis number 617, is an exceptionally desirable example, being documented as the final XJ220 constructed. Completed 28 March 1994, and finished just as it presents today in Le Mans Blue over Smoke Grey leather trim, the car was among a select few initially retained by Jaguar for their private collection. Hermetically sealed inside Carcoons under the watchful eye of Jaguar technicians, these cars became true time capsules of supercar technology. When Jaguar decided to part with this special few, chassis 617 was imported to North America by RM Classic Cars who oversaw its EPA and DOT conversion. Testing for compliance with emissions and safety regulations was performed by Mark Timko at Compliance and Research in Newark, New Jersey before delivery to its first owner, a resident of New York City who enjoyed the Jaguar at his Greenwich and East Hampton residences. The car then passed to a Nashville, Tennessee-based enthusiast before being acquired by the Dare to Dream Collection in 2014. A collection of service invoices dating from delivery detail the careful maintenance this car enjoyed under both of its previous caretakers. Upon acquisition by the collection, the XJ220 was then immediately treated to over $81,000 in work by the highly regarded technicians at Canepa of Scotts Valley, California. Accompanying invoices and photographs document a full engine-out service using parts sourced from XJ220 guru Don Law Racing, steam detailing of the engine compartment and undercarriage, and the all-important fuel cell replacement; all added up to a comprehensive refreshing and mechanical overhaul of a well-preserved and highly original automobile. Notably, its odometer displays just 3,769 kilometers (~2,342 miles) at the time of cataloguing, and it is accompanied now by owner’s manuals, parts book and service manual, and 2004–2015 service invoices and documentation. Superbly maintained and exceptionally well-documented, chassis 617, the last XJ220 ever constructed, is the proverbial final page in one of Jaguar’s most illustrious chapters and offers the chance to acquire one of the world’s most impressive, and elusive, supercars. In closing his column, Green looked to the future, writing: “Other intriguing supercars are on the horizon, namely the Bugatti EB110 and McLaren F1, but these are different sorts of cars—technological statements from tiny specialists, rather than 200mph sculptures from the car industry big names… Besides, none will have the cachet of a Jaguar.” Much has changed in the three-plus decades that have followed, but in many ways, Green’s words ring just as true today. 1993 Jaguar XJ220 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

First introduced in 1957, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster was considered the successor to the famous 300 SL "Gullwings". The design of the roadster differed significantly from the coupe - while the coupe was known for its distinctive gullwing doors, the roadster had conventional doors. The 300 SL Roadster was equipped with a reinforced frame to maintain structural integrity without the fixed roof. In the engine compartment is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with direct injection that produces around 215 hp. This allows the vehicle to reach a top speed of around 250 km/h. Today the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster is considered one of the most sought-after collector cars. Thanks to its design and engineering, the 300 SL Roadster remains a symbol of the style and technical innovation of the 1950s and 1960s. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster Bechtel Motorcompany GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This Jaguar D-type replica is the first of three examples built by Brian Wingfield in the UK featuring alloy bodywork fabricated by Williams & Pritchard of London. The right-hand-drive roadster uses chassis and drivetrain components sourced from an XKE, and the design incorporates a louvered front clamshell, covered headlights, a wraparound windscreen, a vertical fin behind the driver’s headrest, and a divided cockpit with a removable cover for the passenger side. Built in 1973, the car remained in the UK with a series of owners before being relocated to the Netherlands and later imported to the US in 2014. Power comes from a 4.2-liter inline-six that was rebuilt in 2024, and it is backed by a fully synchronized four-speed manual transmission and a Salisbury 4HA rear axle. Additional equipment includes triple Weber 45 DCOE carburetors, wrapped exhaust headers, an alumFinished in dark blue with white roundels, the long-nose bodywork has a removable cover for the left side of the cockpit, a louvered front clamshell secured with leather straps, and a vertical fin that extends rearward from the driver’s headrest. Additional details include a single right-side door, a wraparound acrylic windscreen, and a central rearview mirror fairing. The seller notes a crack on one headlight cover as well as paint chips, cracks, pitting, and other flaws around the car that can be viewed in the image gallery below.inum radiator, 16” Dunlop wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Smiths instrumentation. Acquired by the current owner in 2021, this custom Jaguar is now offered by the seller on their behalf with a FIVA identity card, historical documentation and literature. Brian Wingfield offered replicas of the Jaguar XKSS and D-type under the business name Deetype Replicas Ltd. out of Chelmsford, Essex, starting in the early 1970s. This example is the first completed by the company and features a central monocoque and exterior panels constructed from 16-gauge aluminum alloy by Williams & Pritchard. The front and rear subframes are tubular steel. The car appeared in advertising literature before being sold at the 1975 International Racing Car Show in London. Silver-finished 16” Dunlop wheels wear faux spinners and are mounted with Pirelli Cinturato HS-365 tires that were installed a decade ago. The car is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, an independent front suspension with torsion bars, and a live rear axle with a sway bar and adjustable coilovers. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs. The right-hand-drive divided cockpit features worn blue leather upholstery on the seats, center console, side panels, and sills. The dashboard fascia has a black crinkle finish, and a fire extinguisher is mounted between the seats. The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a quick-release hub and fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The speedometer does not work, and the five-digit odometer shows 15k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

Built in 1973, the car remained in the UK with a series of owners before being relocated to the Netherlands and later imported to the US in 2014.

Additional equipment includes triple Weber 45 DCOE carburetors, wrapped exhaust headers, an alumFinished in dark blue with white roundels, the long-nose bodywork has a removable cover for the left side of the cockpit, a louvered front clamshell secured with leather straps, and a vertical fin that extends rearward from the driver’s headrest.
