  • 1965 Marcos 1800GT Race Car

    Having been superbly restored from 2016-19 and prepared for competition use, this striking Marcos 1800 GT is offered for sale as a highly accessible and eligible choice of historic racing car. The extensive history file states that chassis number 4055 was ordered new in November 1965 by a Mr Green, who lived near Manchester. The order was placed via John Sprinzel Racing Ltd and period correspondence from the Marcos factory shows that the 1800 GT was delivered in kit form to Mr Green, who duly completed the build process and registered his new car in early January 1966. In 1980, it was acquired by Anthony Harding, who stored it for a few years before having it restored to original spec in 1989. The Marcos was then used in the Historic Sports Car Club’s Road Sports class during the 1990s, but by the time it was bought by the current owner in 2015, it had been off the road again for a few years. A marque enthusiast who had previously competed in a Marcos Mantis, he entrusted it to well-known specialist Redline Sportscars so that it could once again be restored and competition-prepared. As an early 1800 GT, ‘4055’ was originally supplied with a de Dion rear axle, but that set-up no longer complies with FIA GTP1 regulations. It was therefore removed and kept with the car, and a Ford rear axle – as fitted in period to later 1800 GTs – has been installed in its place. The braking system is via front discs and rear drums, while 6in wheels have been fitted all round. The all-iron, 1780cc Volvo B18 engine was rebuilt by Mass Racing, and dyno-tested at nearly 180bhp on Weber carburettors. It was also set up to run on the twin Strombergs required by the FIA regs, and produces 150bhp in that form. A Salisbury Powr-Lok limited-slip diff was fitted, the gearbox was replaced with a refurbished unit from Amazon Cars and the overdrive unit was removed. It’s now geared for just under 140mph in top. The Aston Martin shade of green was chosen in tribute to the works-entered 1800 GT that ran in the 1968 Le Mans 24 Hours, and since being completed the Marcos has been used in events such as the GRRC Spring Start sprint meeting, and at the Gurston Down hillclimb. Having run in roadgoing classes, it’s always been taxed and MoT’d since its latest rebuild – a photographic record of which accompanies the car – and comes with current HTP papers. Fastidiously maintained by Redline Sportscars in recent years, this Marcos 1800 GT is a quick, competitive and well-prepared car. 1965 Marcos 1800GT Race Car The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1972-ferrari-daytona-spyder

    Acclaimed successor to the 275GTB/4, the 365GTB/4 debuted at the Paris Salon in 1968, soon gaining the unofficial name 'Daytona' in honour of Ferrari's 1-2-3 finish at that circuit in 1967. Aggressively styled by Pininfarina, Ferrari's new sportscar boldly re-stated the traditional long bonnet, small cabin, short tail' look in a manner which suggested muscular horsepower a la AC Cobra while retaining all the elegance associated with the Italian coachbuilder's work for Maranello. Although there had been no official open-top version of its predecessor, the favourable reception of Luigi Chinetti's 275GTB-based NART Spyder no doubt influenced Ferrari's decision to produce a convertible Daytona. Again the work of Pininfarina, the latter was first seen at the Paris Salon in 1969 with deliveries commencing in 1971. Although the rear end had been extensively re-worked, so successful was Pininfarina's surgery that it was hard to credit that the Daytona had not initially been conceived as a spider. Ferrari's production run of just 124 Daytona Spiders left many would-be customers disappointed, a situation which led, inevitably, to a number of coupes being converted. Chassis 14413 was first registered on 2 November 1972. Copy invoices on file refer to various maintenance and bodywork being performed on the car during the late 1970s by Graypaul of Loughborough, whilst the car was in the ownership of a Mr Walton. The car passed into the ownership of a Mr Savage in the early 1980s, with 15,000 miles recorded. Mr Savage had the car converted to Spyder specification by premier conversion specialists Autokraft in 1985. At that time an extensive amount of work was undertaken on the car including a complete re-trim in black leather, full repaint and various related bodywork. In 1986 a substantial amount of work was undertaken to both the suspension and the engine by Rardley Motors. At this point the car has covered 16,700 miles. In 1987, by which time the mileage had reached 17,000 or so, the car was purchased by Lord Brocket. Around this time the air cleaner was removed and longer intake trumpets fitted to the carburettors. In early 1992, the car was sold to a Mr Innes, via Talacrest, when the mileage was still only 17,800. Mr Innes lived overseas and placed the car in the care of TigaStor, the storage specialists, who maintained the car through until October 1999. During this time the car was kept in dehumidified storage and exercised on a three monthly rota. In October 1999, the car was purchased by an enthusiast in London who entrusted Terry Hoyle to carry out an extensive mechanical and body refurbishment. This work, at great expense is all detailed in the invoices on file. 14413 was acquired by the present owner in 2011 and has resided fairly peacefully since then with probably less than a thousand miles added during his ownership. Now showing just over 30,000 miles this fine Daytona is up for some further adventures. 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder Will Stone Historic Cars Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1988-ferrari-gts-turbo-intercooler-02

    Introduced in 1986 as the final evolution of the 208 Turbo, the Ferrari GTB/GTS Turbo Intercooler stands today as one of the most sophisticated and compelling Ferraris produced specifically for the Italian market during the 1980s. Conceived in response to the Italian tax regulations then imposed on cars exceeding two litres in displacement, the Turbo Intercooler succeeded in achieving what was far from an obvious result: combining genuinely high performance with usability and a mechanical character unmistakably Ferrari in nature. From a stylistic perspective, the model adopted much of the visual evolution introduced with the 328, incorporating several of its exterior design elements and ultimately reaching what is now widely regarded as one of the most balanced and elegant forms within the entire 308/328 lineage. The technical evolution was even more significant. The 1,991 cc twincam V8 received substantial updates through the adoption of an IHI turbocharger, Behr intercooler and Magneti Marelli MED electronic engine management system, allowing output to increase to 254 horsepower an extraordinary figure for a two litre Ferrari of the period. The result was notably stronger midrange performance, a far more substantial delivery compared to the earlier 208 Turbo, and an exceptionally distinctive driving character. Produced until 1989 in relatively limited numbers, the Turbo Intercooler is now regarded by many enthusiasts and collectors as one of the most interesting “analogue” Ferraris of the late 1980s, not least because of its exclusive connection to the Italian domestic market. Finished in classic Rosso Corsa over black leather upholstery, the example presented here stands out for both its highly appealing state of preservation and its particularly well-documented ownership history. Delivered new in Italy, originally in the province of Trento, the car has remained within the country throughout its life, later passing through the province of Bologna before entering its current ownership. Remarkably, it has had only three owners from new an increasingly uncommon characteristic for models of this type. The car has covered approximately 60,000 kilometres and has recently benefited from a major service, including replacement of the timing belts. Built in 1988, this particular example is also equipped with ABS braking system, a rare and highly desirable option from a collector’s standpoint on this series. 1988 Ferrari GTS Turbo Intercooler Andrea Nannetti 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 Introduced in 1986 as the final evolution of the 208 Turbo, the Ferrari GTB/GTS Turbo Intercooler stands today as one of the most sophisticated and compelling Ferraris produced specifically for the Italian market during the 1980s. Conceived in response to the Italian tax regulations then imposed on cars exceeding two litres in displacement, the Turbo Intercooler succeeded in achieving what was far from an obvious result: combining genuinely high performance with usability and a mechanical character unmistakably Ferrari in nature. From a stylistic perspective, the model adopted much of the visual evolution introduced with the 328, incorporating several of its exterior design elements and ultimately reaching what is now widely regarded as one of the most balanced and elegant forms within the entire 308/328 lineage. The technical evolution was even more significant. The 1,991 cc twincam V8 received substantial updates through the adoption of an IHI turbocharger, Behr intercooler and Magneti Marelli MED electronic engine management system, allowing output to increase to 254 horsepower an extraordinary figure for a two litre Ferrari of the period. The result was notably stronger midrange performance, a far more substantial delivery compared to the earlier 208 Turbo, and an exceptionally distinctive driving character. Produced until 1989 in relatively limited numbers, the Turbo Intercooler is now regarded by many enthusiasts and collectors as one of the most interesting “analogue” Ferraris of the late 1980s, not least because of its exclusive connection to the Italian domestic market. Finished in classic Rosso Corsa over black leather upholstery, the example presented here stands out for both its highly appealing state of preservation and its particularly well-documented ownership history. Delivered new in Italy, originally in the province of Trento, the car has remained within the country throughout its life, later passing through the province of Bologna before entering its current ownership. Remarkably, it has had only three owners from new an increasingly uncommon characteristic for models of this type. The car has covered approximately 60,000 kilometres and has recently benefited from a major service, including replacement of the timing belts. Built in 1988, this particular example is also equipped with ABS braking system, a rare and highly desirable option from a collector’s standpoint on this series.

    The Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa is considered one of the most desirable F-series models of the early 1970s. In particular, the so-called “oil flap model” enjoys an exceptional reputation among Porsche enthusiasts, as this version was produced only for a very short period of time. The powerful 2.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine producing 190 hp combines sporty performance with the characteristic driving experience of the classic air-cooled 911 generation. Only 989 examples of this rare 911 S Targa version were delivered worldwide. The vehicle offered here stands out with its largely unrestored original condition and its attractive color combination of Light Yellow with black interior and classic Pepita seat inserts. In 1998, the car was repainted in its original delivery color. Over the years, the mechanical components have been maintained and revised as required. According to the available Porsche certificate, the color scheme, engine, and transmission correspond to the original delivery specification.

  • 1958-bmw-507-series-ii

    The post-war North American market was sometimes something of a mystery to European manufacturers, who relied on their local importers to keep them in touch with evolving tastes and new opportunities. Occasionally, these relationships spawned all-new models, such as the Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider. Luigi Chinetti was not alone in this regard: In New York, Austrian-born automotive importer Max Hoffman—who had introduced the American public to the likes of Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche—hatched a plan for BMW to produce an all-new sports car. Its suggested $5,000 ticket price would bring in new customers without affecting sales of the cheaper Porsche 356 and more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Unveiled in 1955 and entering production just over a year later, the 507 featured a shortened version of BMW’s 501-series chassis, with double wishbone and torsion bar front suspension, a Panhard rod-located live rear axle, and Alfin drum brakes at each corner. At its heart lay a 3.2-liter Type M507/1 engine—a jewel of a V-8 based on that of the 503 GT model that offered an improved 150 horsepower thanks to a higher-lift camshaft, revised ignition timing, and a higher compression ratio. Styling was led by fellow New York resident and close associate of Hoffman, Albrecht von Goertz, who penned an elegant, shark-like open design formed in aluminum and accented with lavish chrome fittings, that was aimed squarely at Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood set. More boulevardier than racer, performance on paper lagged that of its more expensive Teutonic rival both in terms of acceleration from rest and top speed. Nonetheless a spirited performer, the 507 was capable of reaching 60 mph in around 11 seconds with a top speed of around 125 mph—but it was the way it delivered that power that made it special. With torque in abundance, the BMW could comfortably outpace the 300 SL from 40-80 mph in top gear. By mid-1957, and after the production of just 34 retrospectively titled Series I cars, the 507 underwent revisions to improve cabin and boot space. In addition to offering greater room for driver, passenger, and their luggage, the Series II featured a reworked dashboard and a more discretely stowed fabric roof. With the changes came a higher asking price of $10,500—more than double Hoffman’s suggested retail figure. As a result of that eye-watering sum, the BMW 507 would remain one of the most exclusive and elusive sports cars of the era, with just 251 examples being built before production ended just three years after it had begun. CHASSIS 70171: IN DISTINGUISHED COMPANY Chassis 70171 is a fine example of the more usable Series II 507 and possesses the wonderful provenance one expects from such an extravagant automobile of the 1950s. According to the BMW Birth Certificate on file and additional information provided by BMW Group Classic, this 507 Roadster was completed in September 1958 and, interestingly, was used as a showroom display model at dealerships in Mainz and Kassel, Germany, before being shipped to the United States. Originally ordered by a Mr. Eisman, it is believed he was ultimately unable to complete the purchase. As a result, Charles Frederick Offenhauser, nephew of legendary engineer Fred Offenhauser, is believed to claim the title of first owner, and further correspondence on file details the unfortunate story behind his court-mandated separation from the BMW. In the span of three weeks, Mr. Offenhauser was ticketed for speeding within a school zone—albeit only by two or three mph—by the same officer, at the same time of day, resulting in three separate infractions. Needless to say, the judge was unimpressed but mercifully decided not to suspend Offenhauser’s license. Instead, a single penalty was enforced on the agreement that the BMW 507 would no longer remain in his possession. Offenhauser reluctantly took the deal, and the roadster was sold to a friend of great distinction. Pierre Dewey LaFontaine Jr., professionally known as Pete Fountain, became a prominent clarinetist within the vibrant New Orleans jazz scene before founding the Basin Street Six in 1950. Over the course of his decorated career within the genre, LaFontaine would also perform with the Dukes of Dixieland, Al Hirt, and the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. At some point, LaFontaine and his wife Beverly developed a close relationship with Charles Offenhauser. Pierre greatly admired the BMW and, on several occasions, requested that Offenhauser sell him the car. Eventually, Offenhauser relented once faced with the legal realities before him, and the 507 Roadster luckily found a new trusted home with LaFontaine. While the correspondence on file mentions another individual had become the owner of the BMW by the early 1970s, the next confirmed caretaker of the vehicle, Terrance K. Knudsen of Wisconsin, is listed on a registration dated to 1994. Before the turn of the millennium, Melvin F. Wiess of New Jersey became the next owner and would cherish the 507 Roadster for the next two decades. Under his stewardship, a restoration is believed to have been performed on the vehicle, and the exterior was refinished to its factory-correct color, Papyrus White, at that time. Thanks to careful ownership over the years, this work aimed to improve an already intact automobile, and correspondence from BMW Group Classic confirms the engine to be the matching-numbers unit. Additionally, the roadster is fitted with an attractive set of Rudge wheels and the dashboard is furnished with a lovely Becker Mexico radio. Lastly, both the hood and trunk lid bear stampings “127” indicating they are a potentially matching pair. Complementing the exceptional cosmetic quality of the BMW, the engine was treated to a roughly 10-month rebuild by the respected craftsmen at Motion Products Inc. of Neenah, Wisconsin, between 2023–2024. Totaling nearly $80,000 according to the invoices on file, the comprehensive project additionally included a clutch replacement, and the BMW continues to perform in sound mechanical shape. Under current ownership, a new set of period-accurate Pirelli Cinturatos were fitted to all four corners in 2024, and the hardtop received a coat of dark blue paint to complement the interior. Further adding to the desirability of this gorgeous automobile, a large collection of documentation provides a robust picture of the car’s history through past registrations, insurance paperwork, and the aforementioned correspondence. Highlights include Mel Weiss’ business card with LaFontaine’s autograph on the back side, and a collection of additional materials related to the jazz legend including the oldest known photo of this BMW 507 Roadster. A rare set of owner’s books and a tool kit round off the accompanying items. The BMW 507 Roadster is among the most glamorous automotive creations of all time. Chassis 70171, offered with exceptional provenance, is now ready to star as part of a new collection. 1958 BMW 507 Series II RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1965-ferrari-275-gtb-6c

    Delivered new in 1965, this Ferrari 275 GTB, fitted with the favourable six-carburettor setup, is one of only 11 RHD examples to ever leave the Maranello. The car was ordered by a VIP client of Ferrari, Dr Wilkins, better known as Dick Wilkins, who owned an impressive array from the Maranello marque including a P4, 250TR and, in partnership with Rob Walker, the 250 SWB driven by none other than Stirling Moss, which he owned at the time Moss won the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1960. When Dr Wilkins ordered this car, the car was built to the ultimate specification, which most importantly meant fitting the six-carburettor setup. The original specification chosen was Rosso Chiaro exterior paint over a black leather interior with grey carpets and headlining. Additional factory optional extras included full leather seats and Borrani wire wheels. The car went on to later be acquired by Mr D.A. Harrison, owner of D.A. Harrison and Company, of Wigton, Cumbria, a gentleman in the haulage and storage industry. The 275 was then purchased by a MR C.W. MacDowall of Ingatestone who proceeded to place the registration of ’27 WY’ on the car. Later on, in 1972 the car was then sold to musician, songwriter, record producer and known Ferrari enthusiast Mr Eric M. Stewart, of Tadworth, Surrey, best known as the lead vocalist for pop groups The Mindbenders and 10cc. Eric also owned a RHD 275 GTB/4, a RHD 250 SWB and, most notably, a 250 LM. This 275, like Eric’s entire Ferrari collection, was maintained without regard to cost by Graypaul Motors in Loughborough. In late 1977, the car was exported and sold to successful industrialist Mr Elliott R. Coyle, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, USA. An avid collector of fine English guns and exotic cars, Mr Coyle owned the car for over four years, until 1982, when it was purchased by a Mr Dave Becker who went on to own the car for the next 21 years. After this period of ownership, the car was then brought back to the UK in August of 2013. Shortly after, the car was then sent back to Modena where it underwent a full nut and bolt restoration carried out by Ferrari specialists over a two-and-a-half-year period. Brandoli were responsible for the body and assembly, Cremonini for the paintwork, and Luppi for the interior. Meanwhile, in the UK, specialists GTO engineering were entrusted to carry out the mechanical aspect of the comprehensive restoration. Following the completion of the restoration in Italy, the car was granted Classiche certification in its totally period correct specification. On 2-3 July 2016, the car had the opportunity to showcase its restoration on the lawns of the Heveningham Hall Concours where it proved to be a real head turner. In 2024, this 275 was refinished in the period correct shade of Grigio Scuro retaining the wonderfully sumptuos and inviting chocolate brown Connolly Vaumol crushed grain 890 leather. Furthermore, this example has recieved handpainted Scuderia shields as seen on competition Ferraris. This stunning example of Ferrari’s 275 is available to view at our showrooms outside London by appointment immediately. 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB 6C D.K.

  • 1969 Alfa Romeo 1300 Junior ‘Stepnose’

    Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, the 105’s clean and distinctive design made it one of the most attractive small coupes of the 1960s and 70s and the earlier ‘Stepnose’ cars were the first of that body shape and seen as the most desirable. As confirmed by Alfa Romeo our example is an RHD ‘Stepnose’ car delivered in 1969 to London, UK. It still wears it original delivery colour of AR209 ‘Musk’ green. This car has had an engine change at some point to a later 1750 unit providing a useful increase in power and torque over the original. Not much is known about its earlier history, however we know it was in Australia from 1997 and with the 1750 motor in place, and we have a continuous history from that point. The car has always been local to Brisbane in QLD and has had 5 owners in that time. A decent folder of history and invoices accompanies the car with evidence of much expenditure over the last 25 years with little use during that time. The mileage in 2008 was 49,410, in 2012 it was 52,540 and it currently reads just 53,707. Much of this work was focussed on improving performance and handling of the car and that certainly translates to a rewarding experience when driving it. The current owner bought the car around 3 years ago and now needs to part with it due to a change in personal circumstances. During his ownership he has undertaken an extensive amount of work resulting in a car that is a blast to drive and looks the part too. Recent work includes, new wiring loom, updated interior, new battery, reconditioned gearbox, rebuilt steering box, heavy duty Alfaholics sway bar, Aluminium radiator, new Alternator and oil cooler along with rebuilt Weber carbs. The engine benefits from a new crankshaft, bearings and general refresh. To aid steering and handling the car has adjustable upper control arms, rose jointed drop links, lowered suspension with yellow Koni’s and ‘fast road’ springs. It is also fitted with a limited slip diff and in addition the rear upper spring mounts have been reinforced. The gearbox is excellent and a delight to use. Turn the key and the engine fires up to a familiar Alfa growl. Out on the open road this car is just superb with the steering and braking being pin sharp. The induction noise from the race ‘trumpets’ is intoxicating and only adds to the on-road experience. The paint although perfectly presentable from a distance, on close inspection shows areas of blistering due to moisture being in the primer when the topcoats were applied. Areas to the front and rear are fine and the roof too however patches of this blistering are present elsewhere. On the turret there are 2 small dents, however these might be able to be pulled out. The GTA style wheels are from Campagnolo in Italy and are unmarked and like new. The tyres are just fitted and overall, they sit at the right height and look purposeful. Once inside you are greeted by a new GTA style Hellebore steering wheel which looks superb. The dash has a new cover, and the classic gauges present very well. An interior from a later Series One 1750 GTV has been fitted to the car which includes the rare and desirable ‘flying buttress’ seats. They show no signs of rips or tears, and the tan colour works well with the ‘Musk’ green exterior. Although the paint isn’t perfect, this is a sorted car and a driver’s delight which begs to be taken out in the hills for a good blast. The body is solid, and it looks wonderful on the GTA wheels and overall, there is a lot to like about this car. All the stainless steel brightwork is in good order and the car is freshly serviced and ready for its new owner to enjoy 1969 Alfa Romeo 1300 Junior ‘Stepnose’ Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

All the stainless steel brightwork is in good order and the car is freshly serviced and ready for its new owner to enjoy Other Cars from Сlassic Сar Market 1969-Alfa-Romeo-1750-Veloce-Spider-01.jpg 1969-Alfa-Romeo-1750-Veloce-Spider-02.jpg 1969-Alfa-Romeo-1750-Veloce-Spider-15.jpg 1969-Alfa-Romeo-1750-Veloce-Spider-01.jpg 1/15 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Veloce Spider Сlassic Сar Market Australia 1971-Lancia-Fulvia-1.6-HF-01.jpg 1971-Lancia-Fulvia-1.6-HF-02.jpg 1971-Lancia-Fulvia-1.6-HF-15.jpg 1971-Lancia-Fulvia-1.6-HF-01.jpg 1/15 1971 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Сlassic Сar Market Australia 1972-Alfa-Romeo-2000-GTV-01.jpg 1972-Alfa-Romeo-2000-GTV-02.jpg 1972-Alfa-Romeo-2000-GTV-15.jpg 1972-Alfa-Romeo-2000-GTV-01.jpg 1/15 1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Сlassic Сar Market Australia Last Featured Cars 1988-Ferrari-GTS-Turbo-Intercooler-01.jpg 1988-Ferrari-GTS-Turbo-Intercooler-02.jpg 1988-Ferrari-GTS-Turbo-Intercooler-12.jpg 1988-Ferrari-GTS-Turbo-Intercooler-01.jpg 1/12 1988 Ferrari GTS Turbo Intercooler Andrea Nannetti Italy 1972-Ferrari-Daytona-Spyder-01.webp 1972-Ferrari-Daytona-Spyder-02.webp 1972-Ferrari-Daytona-Spyder-15.webp 1972-Ferrari-Daytona-Spyder-01.webp 1/15 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder Will Stone Historic Cars Ltd United Kingdom 1996-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-01.webp 1996-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-02.webp 1996-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-15.webp 1996-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-01.webp 1/15 1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom

  • 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA

    During the 1960s Alfa Romeo, once again, had a strong presence in international motorsports. Starting in 1960 with competition variants of their Giulietta and Giulia series, they then introduced more track capable cars including the TZ1 and TZ2 which were developed and supplied through Autodelta, soon to become Alfa Romeo’s competition division. Alfa Romeo and Autodelta also saw value for the marque if they could improve results in Touring car racing which was gaining worldwide popularity. By late 1964 Alfa Romeo needed a new car to compete with the light and powerful Lotus Cortina, BMW’s and large engined American cars. The newly introduced 105 Series Giulia Sprint GT Bertone Coupe provided that platform to build on. What eventuated was the creation of an Alfa Romeo that would become one of the most successful racing cars for the marque and make three letters symbolise a racing legend – GTA. The ‘A’ in GTA standing for Alleggerita, Italian for lightened. To reduce weight, extensive changes were made to the Sprint GT body, this included replacing almost all the steel outer panels with an exotic alloy, Peraluman 25, which is made up of Aluminium, Magnesium, Manganese and Zinc. These super light panels were mostly attached to the GTs steel frame with the identifying rivets. Other inner sections of the chassis were replaced with alloy and many small components were replaced by lighter and thinner items. Indeed, the 1965 parts catalogue lists 357 specific GTA parts. Campagnolo produced Magnesium alloy wheels were adopted along with the Autodelta developed TZ2 twin plug cylinder head and larger 45mm DCOE Webers. Magnesium castings were used for the cam cover, full upper and lower sump sections, bellhousing, and rear gearbox housing. Perspex side and rear windows were used, a different radiator which allowed space for an effective engine oil cooler was added and Autodelta developed an improved method of locating the rear axle, known as a ‘sliding block’. All the above when combined with light weight seats and interior trim reduced the GTA to a homologated dry weight of only 745kg, more than 200kg lighter than the Sprint GT. To satisfy FIA homologation requirements, officially 500, 1600cc GTA’s were produced by Alfa Romeo which included 50 RHD cars, all of which were suitable for road use but at a huge premium over the standard Sprint GT. Only a small number, believed to be less than 30 of these GTA’s were then sent to Autodelta to be modified into race cars, these are known as the Corsa cars. These were mostly for Alfa Romeo’s own race team but a very limited number were built for ‘special’ customers, often with existing business connections and proven race team history. It is believed less than 10 of the total 50 RHD GTA’s were prepared by Autodelta with most going to customers in the USA as they preferred the RHD cars for their tracks. GTA’s were extremely successful in the European Touring Car Championship from 1966 to 1969 and equally successful in the USA winning the 1966 Trans-Am outright and the B-Sedan championship as late as 1970 with Aussie Horst Kwech doing much of the steering. This significant racing success was repeated in many countries, including Australia, in Touring car events between 1965 and 1970. The car we have on offer is AR 752561. We are delighted to offer to market one of the most significant of all GTA’s. This car is the second and only RHD Corsa GTA campaigned by Alec Mildren’s race team. The car was produced by Alfa Romeo in mid-1965 and eventually sold to Alec Mildren in September 1966 after being race prepared by Autodelta to FIA Group 2 Touring car specs. The car arrived in Australia in late 1966 and was immediately converted by Mildren’s mechanics to suit CAMS Improved Production Touring Car rules, which included changing from Dunlop to ATE brakes. The car went to work soon after its arrival with Frank Gardner being the regular driver while he was in Australia for the 1966/67 Summer and Tasman Series. After Franks return to the UK, Alec’s local young driver, Kevin Bartlett, became this car’s regular steerer. Some significant results from this period include. Dec 1966 Warwick Farm – 3rd Frank Gardner Feb 1967 Warwick Farm – 1st Outright and lap record. Frank Gardner Mar 1967 Longford Tasmania – 1st Frank Gardner Mar 1967 Bathurst – 1st Outright and lap record. Kevin Bartlett Apr 1967 Surfers Paradise – 1st Kevin Bartlett Jun 1967 Lakeside – 3rd Kevin Bartlett Jul 1967 Warwick Farm – 2nd Kevin Bartlett Of these results one of the most significant must be the overall victory by Kevin in the 2-part Touring car race held at Bathurst over the Easter weekend in 1967. With the main opposition coming from Bob Jane in his latest Trans-Am prepared Mustang, Kevin not only prevailed but lowered the up to 2 litre Touring car record by over 9 seconds, an incredible achievement. At this same meeting Kevin also became the first driver to lap the Bathurst circuit at over 100mph average speed in Mildren’s Brabham open wheeler. Another impressive event for Kevin in this car was to qualify 5th fastest for the 1967 Surfers Paradise 12-hour race. He was by far the quickest Touring car, and only surpassed by a Lola T70, a Ferrari 250LM, a Porsche 906 and a Lotus 26R. He was also ahead of a Shelby Cobra and many other significant sports cars. In the race Kevin quickly passed the Lotus but eventually a mechanical failure side lined the GTA when running in 4th place overall. To this day Kevin has a particular affection for the car, in 2017 he requested it be made available at the Supercars Bathurst 1000 meeting where he and some other Bathurst race winners were being inducted into the Hall of Fame. This was the last time, to date, that he has driven the car. From 1968 to 1972 the car was campaigned by John French, in red and white or red and black livery, and mostly in Queensland. In John’s capable hands the car was raced very successfully and all the ‘wheels in the air’ photos of this car are with ‘Frenchy’ doing the steering. During this period the car became progressively modified from the original in line with rule changes and to keep pace with mostly V8 opposition. In 1972 this GTA was sold to Brian Foley, then an Alfa Romeo dealer in Parramatta who had already imported and campaigned a GTAm in the Improved Production and Sports Sedan category. With the CAMS rule changes and the introduction of the Sports Sedan category where almost unlimited modifications were allowed, Brian saw the potential of the lighter GTA as a starting point to build an ultra-light weight Alfa Romeo Sports Sedan. The car was put through a monumental transformation, with all the original suspension & brakes removed, all the interior completely stripped out and weight reduced everywhere possible. The car was then fitted with Bowin open wheeler, Formula 2/5000, adjustable tubular suspension, coil-overs and brakes, new extra wide fibreglass guard flares allowed 11” front & 13” wide rear Revolution wheels. A fuel injected, narrow angle, 2.1 litre Alfa Romeo engine with around 230 hp was fitted, other fibreglass panels all helping to reduce the cars dry weight to just over 600kg. Painted in Chesterfield colours and in Brian’s extremely capable hands his light weight Alfa was very competitive particularly on the shorter tracks like Warwick Farm, Oran Park, Amaroo Park and Lakeside, always mixing it with the 6 Litre V8’s and usually ahead of the Porsches. Probably Brians most significant outright win was in the wet 1973 Singapore GP touring car race where he prevailed against serious opposition from a number of European factory teams. Later that year after a shunt at Oran Park due to a suspension component failure, Brian had the car repaired and sold it to Peter Brown from Canberra. Peter then passed the car on to Gordon Stevenson from Perth, the car then commencing another 10 years of racing in WA Sports Sedan events with several local owners. During this race period in the West the car ran with various engine combinations including, turbo charged Alfa Romeo, supercharged Alfa Romeo, possibly a Rover V8 and a PP Mazda rotary. The car remained mostly in WA from the late 70s until 2006 when it was purchased by the present NSW based owner. This car has never been road registered anywhere or at any time, it has always been a track car only and probably holds a record for having the longest original and continuous racing career by any GTA, at over 20 years. The last owner of this car in Perth, Andrew Murray, commenced the huge task of returning it from the heavily modified Sports Sedan it had become back into it’s original 1967 Alec Mildren period specifications, this task was then completed by the present owner in 2009. Under the present owners watch the bodywork and paint were restored by renowned Alfa Romeo expert Tim Doyle from Zoo Autocraft and the mechanical rebuild was undertaken by Stuart Randall and Steve Perkins. Stuart having been one of Mildren’s race mechanics during the 60s and both Stuart and Steve being ex Foley race mechanics from the early 70s. Since the car was returned to the original specs and restored it has been demonstrated and raced sparingly by the present owner at many historic race meetings on the East coast. During this restoration it was decided to save the period correct, GTA numbered block from possible driver error and damage and fit a 1750 block and bottom end but with a period correct 1600 GTA twin plug head. The correct 1600 GTA block and crankshaft will accompany the car. The main items currently on this car that were originally fitted when shipped from Autodelta are the chassis, the alloy roof, rear panel, race front seats, both doors and the boot lid. The nose panel, bonnet and four guards have been replaced with alloy panels from Milan, as the originals were either heavily modified, damaged or lost. All the suspension and brakes have been correctly replaced and returned to the Mildren period specs under the guidance of Stuart Randall, this spec being slightly different to that supplied by Autodelta. The gearbox is a close ratio lightened Autodelta unit as is the LSD and the sliding block. All the period correct Autodelta magnesium castings are fitted, including a mid-depth sump, these are not the modern reproduction items. The head is period correct 1600 GTA, the 45 DCOE14 Webers, the Marelli distributor, the radiator, oil cooler are all period correct. The roll cage is of modern spec with the rear half welded in, but the front half bolted in and therefore easily removed. The car presently sits on a set of originally supplied magnesium Campagnolo wheels and period correct Dunlop race tyres, these are only used for display purposes. A newer set of magnesium Campagnolo wheels suitable for high-speed work with sticky modern tyres will accompany the car, these are the ones the present owner has been using on track and are in excellent condition. Some other major items that will go with the car include the Foley era Fibreglass panels, 4 very wide guards and the bonnet, all the Bowin Formula 2/5000 adjustable tubular suspension arms and the adjustable coil over units. Also accompanying the car are the 4 wide Revolution alloy race wheels. There are many other smaller items, including an original and numbered set of exhaust manifold pipes. In preparation for the sale, the 1750 twin plug engine was removed, in mid-2022 and sent to Alfa expert and master engine builder Vince Sharp at Pace Engineering in Melbourne. Vince did a complete refresh and rebuild of the engine, this included honing, new bearings, rings, water pump and oil pump. The head was checked and rebuilt with new components. The Carrillo rods, forged pistons, cams, alloy flywheel and race clutch were retained as they were all in good condition. This refreshed engine was refitted to the car in January 2023 along with a new exhaust manifold and a modified GTA exhaust side pipe with a full muffler to aid compliance with noise restrictions at racetracks. The engine has had about one hour of running at a recent track day and will benefit from more running in and a final dyno tune. Over the years the owner has acquired numerous images and items documenting the cars racing in period and these all accompany the car. Unquestionably this is one of the finest examples of an Autodelta prepared 1600 GTA in existence with a fabulous provenance and race history and with all the money already spent. This represents a unique opportunity to purchase for the discerning collector with the ability to compete at the highest levels of historic motorsport. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Сlassic Сar Market If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1976-datsun-280z-02

    By the late 1960s, Nissan had a rather ambitious idea: to build a sports car capable of challenging the elegant Europeans, but without the ruinous price tags or the charming tendency for Italian electrics to self-immolate at inconvenient moments. The result arrived in 1969 in the shape of the now legendary Datsun 240Z — a car that fundamentally changed the world’s perception of Japanese performance cars almost overnight. Beautifully proportioned, mechanically robust and genuinely exciting to drive, the Z proved that Japan was no longer simply observing the sports car market from afar. It had arrived with intent. As the 1970s progressed, however, the world changed. Emissions legislation tightened — particularly in the United States — and buyers increasingly demanded refinement alongside outright performance. Nissan understood this perfectly. Rather than compromise the Z’s spirit, they evolved it. Introduced in 1975, the Datsun 280Z retained all the visual drama and rear-wheel-drive balance of its predecessor, while adding a layer of maturity that transformed it into one of the finest grand touring cars of its era. Power came from the enlarged 2.8-litre inline-six, now equipped with Bosch-derived fuel injection. The result was smoother throttle response, improved reliability and effortless long-distance usability. The raw edges of the early 240Z had been subtly polished away, but crucially, the character remained entirely intact. There was still the impossibly long bonnet. Still the compact rear deck. Still that wonderfully balanced S30 chassis which, decades later, continues to form the basis for everything from historic rally cars to serious racing builds and tasteful restomods alike. What Nissan achieved with the Z-series extended far beyond strong sales figures. These cars established Japan as a credible builder of true driver’s cars and quietly forced Europe to pay attention. The example offered here presents beautifully in Sky Blue and has clearly benefited from careful ownership and proper specialist maintenance throughout its life. Significant servicing was carried out in both 2019 and 2023 by a recognised Z specialist in Germany, ensuring the car remains mechanically correct, dependable and ready to be enjoyed exactly as intended. It is, in many ways, the ideal Z. Usable, charismatic and wonderfully analogue — a car capable of delivering genuine driving pleasure without drama, ego or unnecessary complication. 1976 Datsun 280Z Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright By the late 1960s, Nissan had a rather ambitious idea: to build a sports car capable of challenging the elegant Europeans, but without the ruinous price tags or the charming tendency for Italian electrics to self-immolate at inconvenient moments. The result arrived in 1969 in the shape of the now legendary Datsun 240Z — a car that fundamentally changed the world’s perception of Japanese performance cars almost overnight. Beautifully proportioned, mechanically robust and genuinely exciting to drive, the Z proved that Japan was no longer simply observing the sports car market from afar. It had arrived with intent. As the 1970s progressed, however, the world changed. Emissions legislation tightened — particularly in the United States — and buyers increasingly demanded refinement alongside outright performance. Nissan understood this perfectly. Rather than compromise the Z’s spirit, they evolved it.
