  • 1970 Ferrari 246 GT L Series Dino

    Highlights for this car - One of 355 L Series Dinos built from 1969-1970 - Restored in factory ordered Russo Rubino with Nero Interior - Correct Cromodora Knock-Off Wheels, Wood Steering Wheel, and Alloy Body Features General Overview Designed by the legendary Leonardo Fioravanti, responsible for some of the greatest Ferrari designs while at Pininfarina, the original 206 Dino GT was a delightful design combining a curvaceous body and innovative performance engineering inspired by racing successes Ferrari had achieved with their mid-engine prototypes. The heart of the Dino was the compact 65-degree V6 engine displacing 1987cc. With triple Weber 40DCF carburetors, the engine offered 160hp, a potent amount for a lightweight two-liter car. The transverse mid-engine design mated with a 5-speed transaxle offered spirited acceleration, besting many larger displacement competitors. Attributed in name to the tragically lost Dino Ferrari, son of Enzo, the Dino brand would launch Ferrari into higher volume production and world-wide acclaim with this affordable offering. Shortly after release, the 206 advanced to the larger displacement 246 Dino GT as public demand grew and production output increased for the mid-engine car. The 246, stamped in steel using higher volume practices, would become one of the most popular sports cars of the period. Europe and America loved the sleek bodywork and nimble performance, responding with record sales and accolades with sustained popularity lasting more than 50 years after the Dino was first introduced. Early production 246 Dinos are referred to as “L Series” cars, uniquely produced in 1969 and 1970, retaining as much of the original lines and features inspired by the 1965 Paris Salon 206 GT Speciale and Pininfarina 1966 Turin Salon Dino Berlinetta GT. Over the years, L Series examples have become more sought after due to their clean and pure body design, elegant detailing, and production rarity. Distinct L Series features include slimmer front and rear bumpers, an external boot lid release button, triple-ear knock-off wheels, wood-rim steering wheels, head rests mounted on the rear bulkhead, roll up window cranks, no air conditioning, and lightweight alloy doors, hood, and decklids. These features resulted in a lighter car overall with spirited acceleration in keeping with the original 1966 concept Salon Dino. History of this L Series Dino Delivered new to the first owner in Switzerland in October 1969, chassis number 00522 is one of 355 ‘L Series’ cars constructed during the period when the 246 Dino was transitioning production to higher volume all steel construction. Many of the desirable L Series features contribute to the rarity of these cars, but, at the time of delivery, the rarity of this sub-group of cars remained largely unknown to collectors. Over time, this series has become highly sought after. Originally finished in the elegant and rare color Rosso Dino (20-R-350) the interior was trimmed in black vinyl (Nero 161) including the L Series rear bulkhead mounted headrests. Having arrived in North America by the 1970s, the car is known to have been in Texas through the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, the engine reportedly dropped a valve, and the car was subsequently placed in dry storage awaiting necessary mechanical attention. The next owner purchased the car intending to repair it but was unable to complete the work. The car was then purchased by a well-known midwest Ferrari parts supplier and subsequently purchased by a collector in 2012 who commissioned a full restoration. During the restoration, the owner was meticulous about locating the very best OEM or original parts as possible. Many of these components were purchased from expert Dino parts authorities including the former owner of the car. Parts purchases were well over $60,000, rebuild costs recorded at $50,000, with an additional $150,000 was spent on cosmetics. After more than three years in restoration, the completed car was offered at auction in 2017 and sold to the current owner. Under current owner care, the car was assigned to a restorer who wanted this Dino to achieve a Platinum award under Ferrari concours judging. Although this Dino was completed to a high level of finish, it has not been entered in concours judging. General Condition Today this Dino presents in excellent condition with a beautiful, smooth, and glossy paint surface. The paint has excellent coverage and depth, however there is minor paint bridging in selected areas. Overall, the finish has been properly detailed and professionally prepared both when it was restored and under the care of prior and current owners. The doors shut with a crisp latch and hold position flush to the body surfaces, though the passenger side lower door corner sits slightly proud of the body surface. Both the front lid, engine, and trunk lids open and close properly. The chrome trim is excellent overall on the top surfaces of the bumpers and the bumpers are mounted using correct hardware. The side view mirror, window molding, emblems, and badges are all in excellent condition. Glass lenses and turn indicator lenses are also in beautiful condition and properly detailed. The Cromodora wheels are correctly refinished and maintain excellent luster featuring correctly sized Michelin XWX radial tires. The wheels are mounted with single hub chrome plated triple ear center knockoffs, unique to the early L Series Dinos. The black interior creates a subtle understated elegance against the exterior body color. Not only are the seating and door panel surfaces supple, clean, and nicely presented, the original early seating architecture featuring rear bulkhead suspended headrests and perimeter seat bolsters are beautifully finished with correct foam structure, solid stitching, and smooth coloration. Red and black Daytona seat inserts offer a further sporting touch to the interior. Carpeting, headliner, and side trim panels are in excellent condition as are the mouse fur dash color and black interior accents. The center console is very nicely presented with the 5-speed gated shift plate, signature Dino details, and correct electric switches. The delightful array of gauges located in the instrument binnacle is in excellent condition with bright numeric indication and white needles. The finishing touch is the warm-toned factory correct wood rim steering wheel featuring alloy spokes and a bright yellow Dino center emblem. In all, the desirable interior presents as a handsome pairing to this stunning L Series, making it the perfect partner to the curvaceous Pininfarina designed, Scaglietti coachbuilt body. Under the hood, the transverse Dino V6 engine has been thoughtfully prepared and beautifully detailed with originality in mind. While a correct type engine for an early 246GT, the engine number appears to be from a batch just after this chassis number range, and one of the cylinder heads is a later series unit. The transmission number falls exactly in sequence to the chassis number and the remaining engine components are authentic to this series Dino. The earlier series raw alloy engine castings are honest, clean, and unpretentious, reflective of the mechanical beauty and natural casting finishes. The rear trunk area is nicely restored, and the front storage compartment features a full-sized spare tire with matching wheel, and a correct inner molded tub. The underside of the car is finished to a high level of detail, worthy of show presentation. No evidence of damage or structural compromise has been noted in the chassis and all suspension mounting points, suspension components, and exhaust are correct with correct hardware and mounting brackets. Driving this Dino, one is reminded of the very pleasant balance achieved with the mid-engine layout and V6 power. The gearbox shifts smoothly, and power comes on strong in each gear, pulling through low rpms and delighting drivers with a wide powerband and delightful sounds particularly in the higher rev range. Braking and suspension are responsive for the era, modestly improved by a set of correctly sized Michelin XWX tires showing ample tread. The 246 Dino GT-L offers many of the very best features of a vintage Ferrari while reminding anyone who appreciates a modern Ferrari that this is the modern sports car that established the formula for decades of future mid-engine Ferraris. With its stunning Pininfarina design, Scaglietti coachwork, beautiful color combination, rare one of 355 L Series production numbers, and nimble performance capability, this 246 Dino stands today as an enduring passionate Father’s salute to the vision of his young son Dino Ferrari - a rolling sculpture celebrating their mutual dedication to sports cars and a lasting legacy of uncompromising beauty. Included with this 246 Dino This Dino is accompanied by a jack, an assortment of tools, a knock off mallet, a wheel chock, and two fuse box covers. 1970 Ferrari 246 GT L Series Dino Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1962 Lotus Elite S2 Fia Specs

    The first Grand Touring Lotus, the Elite represented an important step in the brand's history. It brought Lotus fame, even if the car was not financially profitable. When the prototype Lotus Elite was introduced at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1957 it created a real stir, for not only the fact it was a pretty two-seater coupe, but because it broke new ground in many technical ways. There was no chassis by the conventional sports car ideas of the time, the car being built as a body/chassis unit in one piece made of glass-reinforced epoxide and polyester resin “glass-fibre”. There were many problems in getting the car into production and it was over a year before the first ones began to appear. But the Elite would go down in motoring history for its revolutionary bodywork. A versatile car, the Lotus Elite embodied the GT philosophy: drive during the week and race at the weekend. It has been programmed according to the new regulations of the GT championship (1300 cm3 category) to aim for class victories in major international events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours. Work on the Type 14, which was to become the Elite, began in 1956. Although very incomplete, the prototype was presented at the London Motor Show at Earls Court in October 1957. To compensate for the modest power of the engine, Colin Chapman, a champion of weight reduction, designed an audacious self-supporting monocoque structure made entirely of plastic. A world first. The only metal reinforcements (embedded in the resin) are a protective hoop around the windscreen to which the door hinges are attached, and subframes that house the suspension and engine attachments. After initial manufacturing problems at Maximar, a firm specialising in boat hulls, production was subcontracted to Bristol. Suspension was independent on all four wheels, there were disc brakes all round and the power unit under the bonnet was the Coventry Climax single overhead camshaft engine in a 1216 cm3 version made especially for Lotus. It was called the FWE. Built in aluminium and very expensive, it only produced 75 bhp. The BMC non-synchronized first gearbox was identical to that of the MGA. Braking was by discs on all four wheels, and the four-wheel independent suspension was borrowed from the Type 12 single-seater. With its pure lines, clear volumes and plunging bonnet, the superb lines of the Lotus Elite are the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, a design enthusiast and friend of Colin Chapman. His work was reviewed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin, who was particularly responsible for the truncated stern. The result is an excellent Cx of 0.29! It should be noted that the Elite's windows did not slide down: they were removable and stored in a bag in the back of the seats... September 1959 saw the launch of the Series 2, whose suspension had been modified to eliminate the steering lock caused by the flexible tie rods. The following year, Chapman launched the SE (Special Equipment) version equipped with a different camshaft and exhaust manifold. With 85 bhp obtained at 6,500 rpm, the SE accelerated to 185 km/h thanks to its aerodynamic qualities and light weight (640 kg), covering 0 to 100 km/h in ten seconds. The car was also fitted with a ZF four-speed synchronized gearbox. A Super 95 version was offered in 1962. This was a misleading name, as power was actually reduced to 80 bhp (at a lower engine speed of 6,100 rpm). But the Elite would be offered throughout its career with more advanced engines, up to 105 bhp at 8,000 rpm, thanks to twin Weber carburettors (instead of the single SU of the normal version) and more advanced valve timing. Designed with competition in mind, the Elite suffers from serious shortcomings. It has to be said that Colin Chapman had no experience of building production models before launching it. It vibrated a lot and was very noisy, with the plastic bodywork acting as a sounding board. A cutting-edge car for discerning enthusiasts, the Lotus Elite also suffered from questionable reliability, not to mention tricky and expensive maintenance. On the other hand, the Elite's roadholding was formidable, close to that of a racing car: remarkable roadholding, precise and direct steering, powerful braking. Extremely expensive to build, 1,030 examples were produced until 1963. It was sold as a kit from 1961, which considerably reduced the price. The Lotus Elite forged a flattering record in competition, racking up numerous class victories. Its sober engine also enabled it to win the energy index twice at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 1960 and 1962). Average fuel consumption was just over 15 litres per 100 kilometres, with a top speed in excess of 220 km/h! DAD 10 At the Brands Hatch race meeting on Boxing Day 1958 there were five production Lotus Elites entered for the Production Sports and Grand Touring Cars event and a memorable battle took place between Colin Chapman in a works car and Jimmy Clark in the Border Reivers car, with a narrow victory going to the founder of Lotus Cars. In third place in another Lotus Elite was Mike Costin, the Cos of Cosworth Engineering and key man on the production of the Cosworth DFV in later years. That Brands Hatch race was indeed significant in the history of British motor racing. By mid-1959 the Lotus firm had moved from Hornsey in North London to Cheshunt in Hertfordshire and production of the Lotus Elite really got under way, with the bodyshell being made by Bristol Aeroplane Plastics Ltd. When Doug Nye wrote bis book “The Story of Lotus 1961-1971” Colin Chapman told him “The Elite was really a road-going car and used many of the racing components. We didn’t have much experience of road-car economics when we designed it, and without long-range tooling, long-range buying and strict cost-saving it was finally just uneconomic to build. I believe we lost over £100 on each car we built.” Nonetheless they built 285 of the Series I cars and by October 1960 the Series II was introduced, which had revised rear suspension, and 703 of these were built in the ensuing years, making a total of 988 altogether. When Colin Chapman described the Elite as a road-going racing car, he was not far wrong for once production was under way they were raced in every type of event from Mallory Park club meetings to the Le Mans 24 Hour race and Nurburgring 1,000 kilometers races and were highly successful in the small GT category. Many of them became famous and many of them were registered with special number plates, like CB 23 for Chris Barbour, the jazz-man, WUU 2 for Peter Lumsden and LOV 1 for Graham Warner, but the one being featured in this series is DAD 10, not because it is the most famous, and the most successful but because it was symptomatic of the “swinging-sixties”. This Lotus Elite was owned by Les Leston who was running a very successful motoring accessory business in London and he was also into the London jazz and rock music scene. In the early Swing days the name “Daddy” was given to old men with money to burn on living it up with wine, women and song and any young girl who picked up a rich “Daddy” was known to have a “Sugar Daddy”. When Rock took over from Swing the principles were unchanged and “Daddy” was changed into “Dadio”. Leston’s racing Elite was registered DAD 10, which easily changed itself into DADIO and the car soon became called “Dadio”. All of which fitted neatly into the life and business style of Les Leston Accessories. Apart from all that “Dadio” was a very quick car and Leston was one of the club “aces” of the time, racing it extensively in the early sixties and having some memorable battles with Graham Warner in LOV 1. Leston’s best effort with the red Elite with the white stripes was to finish 7th overall in the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood in 1961, only six laps behind the winning Ferrari. Its 1,220 c.c. Coventry-Climax engine used two twin-choke Weber carburetters, which developed 105 b.h.p. and drove through a ZF gearbox to a 4.87 to 1 differential unit. The car weighed 9 3/4 cwt. and accelerated from 0-100 m.p.h. in 17.6 sec. and at Goodwood it clocked 128 m.p.h. on the Lavant Straight. After Les Leston stopped racing it, the car passed through two new owners’ hands but they did not race it, and then it disappeared into the murk of the second-hand car-dealer world and was lost about 1966. Our Mos 10 is a well-preserved 1962 Lotus Elite Series II, which was purchased by Neil Twyman through Charles Fripp in 2009. After a thorough diagnosis of its originality, Twyman decided to rebuild it as a tribute to the former Les Leston DAD 10 with its specific Franck Costin front end. The renowned Neil Twyman put all his effort and knowledge into building a highly accurate and competitive replica of the famous period car. The best English craftsmen supplied the various components: Crosthwaite & Gardiner, MK14, Climax Engine Services, Tony Thompson, Bodicraft Supplies and Panel craft ltd. Nothing has been left to chance, as you'll see. The MOS 10 boasts Leston's distinctive front grille, among other period factory features. After spending some time in the hands of Twyman, it finally joined the JD Classics stable. The car once again received an extensive preparation and raced successfully in the JD Classics colors. At the 2016 edition of Le Mans Classic, it proved to be the fastest Elite in Plateau 3, winning 1st place in the performance index. Subsequently, the current owner purchased the MOS 10 from JD Classics and raced the car entrusted to the ATS workshop in Le Mans. The owner maintained the car to a very high standard and also purchased a large number of spare parts to accompany the sporting career of his Lotus: 1 ZF gearbox overhauled by Marel & Pellin, 1 complete FWE engine overhauled, 1 spare dif carburetors, front brake calipers, doors, hoods, wheels.... Ready to race, and sold with its own set of spare parts, this Lotus Elite is probably the sports car offering the greatest eligibility in the great historic races: Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Fifties' Legends..... 1962 Lotus Elite S2 Fia Specs Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

It has been programmed according to the new regulations of the GT championship (1300 cm3 category) to aim for class victories in major international events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours. Work on the Type 14, which was to become the Elite, began in 1956. Although very incomplete, the prototype was presented at the London Motor Show at Earls Court in October 1957. To compensate for the modest power of the engine, Colin Chapman, a champion of weight reduction, designed an audacious self-supporting monocoque structure made entirely of plastic. A world first. The only metal reinforcements (embedded in the resin) are a protective hoop around the windscreen to which the door hinges are attached, and subframes that house the suspension and engine attachments. After initial manufacturing problems at Maximar, a firm specialising in boat hulls, production was subcontracted to Bristol. Suspension was independent on all four wheels, there were disc brakes all round and the power unit under the bonnet was the Coventry Climax single overhead camshaft engine in a 1216 cm3 version made especially for Lotus. It was called the FWE. Built in aluminium and very expensive, it only produced 75 bhp. The BMC non-synchronized first gearbox was identical to that of the MGA. Braking was by discs on all four wheels, and the four-wheel independent suspension was borrowed from the Type 12 single-seater. With its pure lines, clear volumes and plunging bonnet, the superb lines of the Lotus Elite are the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, a design enthusiast and friend of Colin Chapman. His work was reviewed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin, who was particularly responsible for the truncated stern. The result is an excellent Cx of 0.29! It should be noted that the Elite's windows did not slide down: they were removable and stored in a bag in the back of the seats... September 1959 saw the launch of the Series 2, whose suspension had been modified to eliminate the steering lock caused by the flexible tie rods. The following year, Chapman launched the SE (Special Equipment) version equipped with a different camshaft and exhaust manifold. With 85 bhp obtained at 6,500 rpm, the SE accelerated to 185 km/h thanks to its aerodynamic qualities and light weight (640 kg), covering 0 to 100 km/h in ten seconds. The car was also fitted with a ZF four-speed synchronized gearbox. A Super 95 version was offered in 1962. This was a misleading name, as power was actually reduced to 80 bhp (at a lower engine speed of 6,100 rpm). But the Elite would be offered throughout its career with more advanced engines, up to 105 bhp at 8,000 rpm, thanks to twin Weber carburettors (instead of the single SU of the normal version) and more advanced valve timing. Designed with competition in mind, the Elite suffers from serious shortcomings. It has to be said that Colin Chapman had no experience of building production models before launching it. It vibrated a lot and was very noisy, with the plastic bodywork acting as a sounding board. A cutting-edge car for discerning enthusiasts, the Lotus Elite also suffered from questionable reliability, not to mention tricky and expensive maintenance. On the other hand, the Elite's roadholding was formidable, close to that of a racing car: remarkable roadholding, precise and direct steering, powerful braking. Extremely expensive to build, 1,030 examples were produced until 1963. It was sold as a kit from 1961, which considerably reduced the price. The Lotus Elite forged a flattering record in competition, racking up numerous class victories. Its sober engine also enabled it to win the energy index twice at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 1960 and 1962). Average fuel consumption was just over 15 litres per 100 kilometres, with a top speed in excess of 220 km/h! DAD 10 At the Brands Hatch race meeting on Boxing Day 1958 there were five production Lotus Elites entered for the Production Sports and Grand Touring Cars event and a memorable battle took place between Colin Chapman in a works car and Jimmy Clark in the Border Reivers car, with a narrow victory going to the founder of Lotus Cars. In third place in another Lotus Elite was Mike Costin, the Cos of Cosworth Engineering and key man on the production of the Cosworth DFV in later years. That Brands Hatch race was indeed significant in the history of British motor racing. By mid-1959 the Lotus firm had moved from Hornsey in North London to Cheshunt in Hertfordshire and production of the Lotus Elite really got under way, with the bodyshell being made by Bristol Aeroplane Plastics Ltd. When Doug Nye wrote bis book “The Story of Lotus 1961-1971” Colin Chapman told him “The Elite was really a road-going car and used many of the racing components. We didn’t have much experience of road-car economics when we designed it, and without long-range tooling, long-range buying and strict cost-saving it was finally just uneconomic to build. I believe we lost over £100 on each car we built.” Nonetheless they built 285 of the Series I cars and by October 1960 the Series II was introduced, which had revised rear suspension, and 703 of these were built in the ensuing years, making a total of 988 altogether. When Colin Chapman described the Elite as a road-going racing car, he was not far wrong for once production was under way they were raced in every type of event from Mallory Park club meetings to the Le Mans 24 Hour race and Nurburgring 1,000 kilometers races and were highly successful in the small GT category. Many of them became famous and many of them were registered with special number plates, like CB 23 for Chris Barbour, the jazz-man, WUU 2 for Peter Lumsden and LOV 1 for Graham Warner, but the one being featured in this series is DAD 10, not because it is the most famous, and the most successful but because it was symptomatic of the “swinging-sixties”. This Lotus Elite was owned by Les Leston who was running a very successful motoring accessory business in London and he was also into the London jazz and rock music scene. In the early Swing days the name “Daddy” was given to old men with money to burn on living it up with wine, women and song and any young girl who picked up a rich “Daddy” was known to have a “Sugar Daddy”. When Rock took over from Swing the principles were unchanged and “Daddy” was changed into “Dadio”. Leston’s racing Elite was registered DAD 10, which easily changed itself into DADIO and the car soon became called “Dadio”. All of which fitted neatly into the life and business style of Les Leston Accessories. Apart from all that “Dadio” was a very quick car and Leston was one of the club “aces” of the time, racing it extensively in the early sixties and having some memorable battles with Graham Warner in LOV 1. Leston’s best effort with the red Elite with the white stripes was to finish 7th overall in the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood in 1961, only six laps behind the winning Ferrari. Its 1,220 c.c. Coventry-Climax engine used two twin-choke Weber carburetters, which developed 105 b.h.p. and drove through a ZF gearbox to a 4.87 to 1 differential unit. The car weighed 9 3/4 cwt. and accelerated from 0-100 m.p.h. in 17.6 sec. and at Goodwood it clocked 128 m.p.h. on the Lavant Straight. After Les Leston stopped racing it, the car passed through two new owners’ hands but they did not race it, and then it disappeared into the murk of the second-hand car-dealer world and was lost about 1966. Our Mos 10 is a well-preserved 1962 Lotus Elite Series II, which was purchased by Neil Twyman through Charles Fripp in 2009. After a thorough diagnosis of its originality, Twyman decided to rebuild it as a tribute to the former Les Leston DAD 10 with its specific Franck Costin front end. The renowned Neil Twyman put all his effort and knowledge into building a highly accurate and competitive replica of the famous period car. The best English craftsmen supplied the various components: Crosthwaite & Gardiner, MK14, Climax Engine Services, Tony Thompson, Bodicraft Supplies and Panel craft ltd. Nothing has been left to chance, as you'll see. The MOS 10 boasts Leston's distinctive front grille, among other period factory features. After spending some time in the hands of Twyman, it finally joined the JD Classics stable. The car once again received an extensive preparation and raced successfully in the JD Classics colors. At the 2016 edition of Le Mans Classic, it proved to be the fastest Elite in Plateau 3, winning 1st place in the performance index. Subsequently, the current owner purchased the MOS 10 from JD Classics and raced the car entrusted to the ATS workshop in Le Mans. The owner maintained the car to a very high standard and also purchased a large number of spare parts to accompany the sporting career of his Lotus: 1 ZF gearbox overhauled by Marel & Pellin, 1 complete FWE engine overhauled, 1 spare dif carburetors, front brake calipers, doors, hoods, wheels.... Ready to race, and sold with its own set of spare parts, this Lotus Elite is probably the sports car offering the greatest eligibility in the great historic races: Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival, Le Mans Classic, Fifties' Legends.....

  • 1990 AC Cobra Mk IV

    Brian Angliss - the founder of AutoKraft - had a small restoration business in the 1970s and was specialized in the legendary Shelby Cobra. In 1982, he obtained the name rights and the right to build Cobra-shaped cars from AC Cars Ltd. Ford became aware of the beautiful roadsters and so in 1987 a collaboration with AutoKraft took place and the company was authorized to use the Cobra name and logo from then on. It is therefore only understandable that the Cobra Mk IV produced in Surrey, England, is regarded in the scene as the legitimate successor or continuation of the original Shelby Cobras from the 1960s. Like these, the Mk IV has a tubular frame chassis, a wide alloy body and a Ford drivetrain - about 480 vehicles were produced between 1986 and 1996. Our car - AK1238 - was built in January 1989 and delivered to the Swiss importer Exclusive Cars in Versoix. As Cobras were difficult to sell at the time, the car remained with the importer and was exhibited on their stand at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1990. In June of that year, the Mk IV was registered for the first time and used as a demonstration car. In August 1995, with 1’150 kilometres on the clock, the beautiful roadster was finally taken over by its first and so far, only private owner. Due to his emigration in August 2000, he deregistered the Cobra and parked it in his dry garage for almost 24 years. As he didn't want to part with his beloved roadster and to avoid damage as far as possible, he treated himself to a drive with the dealer plates of a garage friend at least once a year every time he visited his old home. In May 2024, the AC was taken out of its home and carefully put back into operation. With around 4’900 driven kilometers, the Cobra is in remarkably original condition. The Ford 5-litre V8 with fuel injection and catalytic converter delivers 228 hp and runs perfectly, and the 5-speed gearbox shifts absolutely correctly and crisply.

  • 1975-ford-escort-mk1-mexico-1

    It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin-Cam/RS1600, but their victory in the World Cup Rally, finishing in Mexico, provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed AVO (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the 'Mexico', marrying the Type 49 bodyshell, as used in the Twin-Cam and RS1600, with the 1,600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine and 2000E gearbox. So effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam/RS1600. The Mexico became AVO's most successful and numerous of the 'Rally Sport Escorts' and had a number of advantages on the road in that it had excellent performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all, it was great to drive, something which is still true today. Mk1 Escort Mexico production ended in January 1975 when Ford closed its AVO plant at Aveley. The car presented here is a UK-supplied 1975 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, making it a very late-production example. With an interesting backstory, this Mexico is now in superb, fully restored condition. The car spent its first ten years being enjoyed as intended but by 1984/1985, it needed a new front wing as an aftermarket aerial had been installed. With the wing sourced but not yet fitted, the owner became busy with other projects and the car got 'put away for a bit', which ended up being for 20 years or so! During this time, it was meticulously stripped, with all the original parts being logged and boxed, as the intention was always to get it back on the road 'one day'. Time passed and eventually the decision was made to sell the car – but, always to the right person. The right person was found and the car went on to become what you now see here. It was fully restored over 14 months, with the bodywork expert (described as properly 'old-school' and who had been offered the job as the restorer on the show Pimp My Ride but declined the opportunity) saying that its Type 49 bodyshell was preserved in 'exceptional condition', reckoning that it was 'the cleanest Escort shell that he’d ever worked on'. The boxed and logged original parts were carefully reinstated, including the original interior, with brand new OEM bits substituting some age-perished items like the headlights, indicator units and window rubbers. The engine, gearbox and drivetrain were all reconditioned and brought up to standard to match the newly painted bodyshell. At this time, some non-standard items were also added, including AVO dampers, twin Weber carburettors on a high lift manifold (utilised to clear the servo), a stainless steel exhaust, poly bushes and period 'bullet' mirrors. The completed car was subsequently sold to our vendor’s late brother, who treasured it for the last 17 years, ensuring its continued mechanical health by having his rally car-building friend (Keith), a life-long mechanic and who, again, vouches strongly for the veracity of the whole car, service/maintain it and in recent years fit an LSD, a new steering rack and twin 40 Weber carburettors, plus rebuilding the gearbox. The car has always been garaged and mainly just used at shows and weekend drive-outs, covering only c.5,000 miles since its restoration and is now ready for its next custodian. This striking Mexico is maybe not factory-original, but easily could be made so, with the reassuring knowledge that the all-important AVO shell is in superbly 1975 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 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 It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin-Cam/RS1600, but their victory in the World Cup Rally, finishing in Mexico, provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed AVO (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the 'Mexico', marrying the Type 49 bodyshell, as used in the Twin-Cam and RS1600, with the 1,600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine and 2000E gearbox. So effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam/RS1600. The Mexico became AVO's most successful and numerous of the 'Rally Sport Escorts' and had a number of advantages on the road in that it had excellent performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all, it was great to drive, something which is still true today. Mk1 Escort Mexico production ended in January 1975 when Ford closed its AVO plant at Aveley. The car presented here is a UK-supplied 1975 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, making it a very late-production example. With an interesting backstory, this Mexico is now in superb, fully restored condition. The car spent its first ten years being enjoyed as intended but by 1984/1985, it needed a new front wing as an aftermarket aerial had been installed. With the wing sourced but not yet fitted, the owner became busy with other projects and the car got 'put away for a bit', which ended up being for 20 years or so! During this time, it was meticulously stripped, with all the original parts being logged and boxed, as the intention was always to get it back on the road 'one day'. Time passed and eventually the decision was made to sell the car – but, always to the right person. The right person was found and the car went on to become what you now see here. It was fully restored over 14 months, with the bodywork expert (described as properly 'old-school' and who had been offered the job as the restorer on the show Pimp My Ride but declined the opportunity) saying that its Type 49 bodyshell was preserved in 'exceptional condition', reckoning that it was 'the cleanest Escort shell that he’d ever worked on'. The boxed and logged original parts were carefully reinstated, including the original interior, with brand new OEM bits substituting some age-perished items like the headlights, indicator units and window rubbers. The engine, gearbox and drivetrain were all reconditioned and brought up to standard to match the newly painted bodyshell. At this time, some non-standard items were also added, including AVO dampers, twin Weber carburettors on a high lift manifold (utilised to clear the servo), a stainless steel exhaust, poly bushes and period 'bullet' mirrors. The completed car was subsequently sold to our vendor’s late brother, who treasured it for the last 17 years, ensuring its continued mechanical health by having his rally car-building friend (Keith), a life-long mechanic and who, again, vouches strongly for the veracity of the whole car, service/maintain it and in recent years fit an LSD, a new steering rack and twin 40 Weber carburettors, plus rebuilding the gearbox. The car has always been garaged and mainly just used at shows and weekend drive-outs, covering only c.5,000 miles since its restoration and is now ready for its next custodian. This striking Mexico is maybe not factory-original, but easily could be made so, with the reassuring knowledge that the all-important AVO shell is in superbly Other Cars from Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-01.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-02.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-15.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-01.webp 1/15 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-01.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-02.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-09.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-01.webp 1/8 1975 De Tomaso Pantera GTS Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-01.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-02.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-15.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-01.webp 1/15 1976 Lamborghini Espada Series III Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 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 930 Turbo 2

    In 1974 a new era began at Porsche. At the same time as BMW and its 2002 Turbo, the first production 911 with a turbocharged engine appeared. Its name: 911 "Turbo", or "930" for those who know it well. But unlike the BMW, which remained without descendants, the Porsche 911 Turbo was to be the initiator of a great lineage. 50 years later, let's take a look at this true automotive legend. The brand has always offered its customers a special series of race-ready models, and the 911 has repeatedly confirmed this rule. The 911 Turbo was first presented as a prototype at the Paris Motor Show in September 1973 as a vehicle that could be produced in small series for FIA Group 5 homologation. In the meantime, a Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo with almost 500 horsepower (for 2.1 litres of engine capacity!) was entered at Le Mans and produced encouraging results, finishing 2nd in 1974. This performance encouraged Porsche to continue its research into the use of turbocharging and it was a real event when the 911 Turbo road car was presented in Paris in its almost final form a few months later. Instantly, it was love at first sight for many enthusiasts and the beginning of a long and beautiful love story. The factory designation "930" corresponding to the engine's nomenclature quickly became the baptismal name of the turbocharged 911 among Porsche enthusiasts, even though its official commercial name has always been "Turbo" and "Carrera Turbo" in the USA. Originally, it was only planned to produce the 500 cars required for FIA Group 5 homologation, given the economic context of the oil crisis, which was not very favorable to fuel-guzzlers. However, production of the famous 911 Turbo began in February 1975, just as France had imposed motorway speed limits. But despite this, the 911 Turbo aroused such interest and was such an exceptional event that orders quickly flowed in beyond the expected sales figures. In view of the enthusiasm, production was increased the following year. Externally, the 930 retained the general appearance of the 911s, but was distinguished primarily by its large, prominent rear spoiler, which, in combination with the front spoiler, provided superior downforce at higher speeds. At first glance, the Porsche 930 impresses, but then it seduces, especially with its swollen rear wings. The tracks of the Turbo are widened by 60 mm in front and 120 mm in back. The whole thing has an effect and many will fall in love with these wide and sexy hips which will later become a very popular option making up the famous "Turbo-Look". As was the case with the 1974 911 Carrera RS 3.0, the Porsche 911 Turbo is equipped with black Fuchs wheels with polished rims, 7 inches at the front and 8 inches at the rear as standard. The tires are generously sized for the time. For the '76 model year, several other modifications were made to the increasingly successful 930. Matte black stickers on the front of the rear wings now protect them from stone chips. Less visible, but very important, is the zinc electrolysis of the bodywork which allows Porsche to guarantee the 930 against corrosion for 6 years. Inside, apart from the specific 3-spoke steering wheel, the interior of the 911 Turbo is strictly identical to that of a Carrera. It is surprising that there is no turbo pressure gauge until the '77 model year. But surprisingly, Porsche wanted to position its new sports car in a different niche than a pure sports car, stripped down to the bare essentials like the Carrera RS 2.7L. The standard equipment is even more complete than at the time of the presentation and very luxurious for the time: electric windows, air conditioning, leather seats, tinted windows, not to mention headlight washers - a world first! -, rear windscreen wiper, front fog lamps, etc... Note also that among the options available on the 930 were front seat heaters, a locking differential, a short shifter kit, electrically adjustable sports seats and a tinted windscreen. Yet the 930 is a true sports car. And to be convinced of this, you have to taste what's under its imposing engine bonnet! Intended as a racing car, the leading model of the 911 series was entirely focused on power and would set new standards. To understand the choice of engine for the Porsche 930, one must remember that the sports regulations of the time imposed a factor of 1.4 on the displacement of turbocharged engines to compensate for their mechanical advantage over naturally aspirated engines. Therefore, a displacement of 3L corresponded to 4.2L, the maximum allowed at the time, with a weight limit of 1210 Kg. Designed for competition, the Flat 6 of the 930, type 930/50, is therefore derived from the Carrera RS 3 litres. The displacement is 2994 cm3 (bore 95 mm, stroke 70.4 mm) and the engine is fed by a Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical injection and a KKK type 3LDZ turbocharger, blowing at 0.8 bar. The compression ratio is lowered to 6.5:1. Porsche also uses advanced technologies designed to achieve high power output without affecting engine reliability. The cylinder walls are covered with Nikasil, the pistons are made of forged alloy and the crankcase is made of aluminum. The 6-cylinder flat engine from Porsche develops 260 hp at 5500 rpm and 343 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Available in the USA, the 930 will however only deliver 245 hp (engine type 930/51), i.e. 15 hp less than the European version for pollution control reasons. But the torque is such that it is quite sufficient! With its first-class performance, the Porsche 930 is on a par with the best sports cars of the time, such as the Ferrari 512 BB. It takes only 5.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, while its top speed exceeds 250 km/h. Despite its racing characteristics, the Turbo 911 is surprisingly well suited for everyday use. In this area, Porsche also manages to reconcile two obvious contradictions. In the city, the Turbo drives like an ordinary 911, the flexibility of the 3.0L engine being very appreciable here. Once on the road, you have to anticipate the dual personality of a car whose old-style turbo management was, moreover, deliberately "brutal" at the time. Clearly, nothing was done to smooth out the engine's character! And indeed, once past 3500 rpm, the turbine is triggered in "all or nothing" mode. The 6-cylinder Porsche 930 then propels you into another dimension, with a memorable kick in the ass! Your back sinks into the leather seat and you become fully aware of the 930 Turbo's lightning acceleration! Just imagine what a shock this was for the automotive world at the time, which was simultaneously discovering turbocharging and the arrival on the market of a sports car capable of offering sensations previously unknown outside the world of competition. Given the engine's torque, the 4-speed gearbox seemed to be sufficient. The 1st gear pushes you up to 80 km/h on the approach to the red zone (located at 6900 rpm), the 2nd to 135 and the 3rd already makes you a jailbird, at 200 km/h. You will then go and explain to Mr. the "gendarme" that you had not yet shifted in 4th gear... he might appreciate it. Just imagine that the 4th takes you to 250 km/h... In a word, the Porsche 930 is... sporty! And how good it is! This invigorating return to the source reminds us how much current productions are sometimes far too sanitized. For many drivers, the 911 Turbo was the ultimate sports car. With all its exceptional features, it is now a true phenomenon and a historical monument of the automobile. A mythical vehicle whose reputation as a wild beast has greatly contributed to the aura it still enjoys in the hearts of all enthusiasts. This example was ordered on 27 February 1976, specified in Schwarz over Braunbeige leather with an electric sunroof, and intended for California, according to the accompanying factory build sheet. Chassis number 00413 was reportedly retained by its first owner for 23 years before being sold locally in 1999. It was then reportedly sold to a third Californian owner in 2002, before being exported to Norway in 2007 and finding a home with another Norwegian four years later. In 2015, it passed into the hands of the previous owner and was imported to Denmark, where later that year it underwent a body repaint in black. A certificate of authenticity from Porsche confirms that this car has retained its chassis and engine. Beautifully presented in its original configuration, this first generation Turbo Carrera is a fine example of an iconic model that marked both the development of the 911 and the evolution of the supercar. 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

    Very Well Upgraded Targa In Guards Red Over Black With Sport Seats, SSI Heat Exchangers, Dansk Muffler, Steve Wong Chip and Full Elephant Racing Suspension. Seller Asking: $75,000 Produced between 1974 and 1989, the G-Body 911 is one of the most recognizable variants of the famed Porsche sports car and, without a doubt, one of the best to drive. Built between 1974 and 1989, the G-Body 911s came in numerous variants, with the most refined version, the Carrera, built between 1984 and 1989. Powered by a 3.2-liter Flat-6, the Carrera is regarded for its unfiltered driving experience, exceptional durability, and practicality. One of the many things that separate the Porsche 911 from many of its more exotic rivals from the same time period is the massive aftermarket for performance parts that are available to tailor your 911 to exactly how you like it from behind the wheel. This 1984 Porsche 911 Targa is finished in Guards Red over Black and has been well maintained and carefully modified to ensure maximum driving enjoyment every time you get behind the wheel. The car presents well but is in what would be considered “driver” condition- a repaint from the early 2000s is still very shiny but does show some bubbling and minor areas of lifting, along with some visible tape lines. That being said, the Targa top has recently been rebuilt, European front and rear lights have been installed, and the car sits on a set of 7” front and 8” rear Fuchs, giving an overall very put-together appearance. If you are looking for a 911 Targa to get out and drive and aren’t concerned about your local PCA Concours, this car is for you. On the inside, the seats, dash, and door cards are covered in black leather, and a set of non-original but period-correct Porsche sport seats have been installed. The original Blaupunkt stereo with a cassette player is still in place, and although air conditioning is installed, it is currently not operable. The leather on the dashboard is shrinking some, and the seams along the front edge are separating. A few of the performance upgrades noticeable on the interior are a set of Targa reinforcement bars that help add rigidity to the chassis and an aftermarket short shifter that offers improved shift action to the 915 gearbox. What makes this car a real standout is what is going on underneath the car. The 3.2-liter flat-6 benefits from a top-end rebuild, and the 915 gearbox has been rebuilt with a fresh clutch installed all around 2008. SSI heat exchangers and a Dansk muffler were installed to make the engine breathe better, and a Steve Wong chip for Carreras with these modifications is installed to maximize performance potential. The suspension was recently rebuilt using street-oriented bushings from Elephant Racing, and 930 tie rods and a strut tower brace have also been installed. When you get behind the wheel of this 911 Targa, everything feels right- the extensive file of receipts dating back to 1986 tells the story of the three owners who loved this car and were happy to spend whatever it took to make it drive as well as it could. All of the care lavished on this car throughout its life makes for a truly exceptional driving experience that would be expensive and time-consuming to replicate. If you want to experience what makes the Porsche 911 so desirable amongst driving enthusiasts worldwide, all it will take is a few minutes behind the wheel of this example to get it. 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa ISSIMI, Inc 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 Very Well Upgraded Targa In Guards Red Over Black With Sport Seats, SSI Heat Exchangers, Dansk Muffler, Steve Wong Chip and Full Elephant Racing Suspension. Seller Asking: $75,000 Produced between 1974 and 1989, the G-Body 911 is one of the most recognizable variants of the famed Porsche sports car and, without a doubt, one of the best to drive. Built between 1974 and 1989, the G-Body 911s came in numerous variants, with the most refined version, the Carrera, built between 1984 and 1989. Powered by a 3.2-liter Flat-6, the Carrera is regarded for its unfiltered driving experience, exceptional durability, and practicality. One of the many things that separate the Porsche 911 from many of its more exotic rivals from the same time period is the massive aftermarket for performance parts that are available to tailor your 911 to exactly how you like it from behind the wheel. This 1984 Porsche 911 Targa is finished in Guards Red over Black and has been well maintained and carefully modified to ensure maximum driving enjoyment every time you get behind the wheel. The car presents well but is in what would be considered “driver” condition- a repaint from the early 2000s is still very shiny but does show some bubbling and minor areas of lifting, along with some visible tape lines. That being said, the Targa top has recently been rebuilt, European front and rear lights have been installed, and the car sits on a set of 7” front and 8” rear Fuchs, giving an overall very put-together appearance. If you are looking for a 911 Targa to get out and drive and aren’t concerned about your local PCA Concours, this car is for you. On the inside, the seats, dash, and door cards are covered in black leather, and a set of non-original but period-correct Porsche sport seats have been installed. The original Blaupunkt stereo with a cassette player is still in place, and although air conditioning is installed, it is currently not operable. The leather on the dashboard is shrinking some, and the seams along the front edge are separating. A few of the performance upgrades noticeable on the interior are a set of Targa reinforcement bars that help add rigidity to the chassis and an aftermarket short shifter that offers improved shift action to the 915 gearbox. What makes this car a real standout is what is going on underneath the car. The 3.2-liter flat-6 benefits from a top-end rebuild, and the 915 gearbox has been rebuilt with a fresh clutch installed all around 2008. SSI heat exchangers and a Dansk muffler were installed to make the engine breathe better, and a Steve Wong chip for Carreras with these modifications is installed to maximize performance potential. The suspension was recently rebuilt using street-oriented bushings from Elephant Racing, and 930 tie rods and a strut tower brace have also been installed.
