- 1973-porsche-911-carrera-rs-30-replica
A Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 is an absolute icon in the history of Porsche and spearheads the first 911 RS series. A description of the qualities and capabilities of this sports car is superfluous for the discerning car connoisseur. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 offered here was professionally converted about 17 years ago by the best and most renowned 911 specialists in Switzerland, with countless hours of work and no expense spared. An original 1974 911 2.7 served as the basis. The body was converted to a Carrera RS 3.0 by Heinz Reust using original Porsche parts, and the engine was completely rebuilt at Stadler Motorsport. All invoices are available. Bosch stamp pump, dual ignition, oil cooler, 915/06 transmission, limited-slip differential, dual exhaust system with fan manifold, turbo brakes front and rear, Fuchs rims front 9 x 15, rear 11 x 15 inches. In addition, a rev counter up to 10,000 rpm and a speedometer up to 300 km/h are installed, and except for the windshield, all windows are made of Plexiglas. The car is in very good condition, almost completely documented, and was used early on in motorsport events. A technical car passport and photos from the 1990s attest to this. FiA papers from 2008 and receipts and invoices dating back to 1974 are also available. This beautiful Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 is a really fast and competitive car. It has always been professionally maintained, is in top condition and simply impresses with its perfection and brutal driving characteristics. 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 replica Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Words by Edgardo Michelotti Photos and Drawings: Archivio Storico Michelotti www.archiviostoricomichelotti.it There are places where t Edgardo Michelotti Before the Supercar Existed, The Genesis of the Lamborghini Miura As the Lamborghini Miura approaches its 60th anniversary, engineer Luigi Marmiroli revisits the extraordinary technical, human and industrial convergence of 1963 that transformed a bold idea into the world’s first true supercar. Luigi Marmiroli A Le Mans Racer in Disguise: Giovanni Michelotti’s Jaguar D-Type Coupé Born from a chance acquisition and shaped by pure creative freedom, Giovanni Michelotti’s Jaguar D-Type Coupé stands as one of the most fascinating and misunderstood one-off cars of the 1960s: a Le Mans thoroughbred subtly reimagined as a road-going sports car. Edgardo Michelotti The American Supercar With an Italian Heart Engineer Marmiroli introduces a little-known chapter of automotive history, where Italian engineering and American ambition unexpectedly merged in the Vector M12. Luigi Marmiroli Emile Darl'mat's Special Peugeots Prof. Massimo Grandi retraces in this article the extraordinary story of Émile Darl’mat, the Parisian coachbuilder who, between the 1930s and 1950s, transformed Peugeot chassis into exclusive aerodynamic creations, from Le Mans racers to elegant postwar coupés. Massimo Grandi The Unforgettable Summer of '74 When Ferrari’s name began to shine brightly across the Atlantic, few figures shaped its American allure as decisively as Luigi Chinetti—and fewer still gave form to that allure as brilliantly as Giovanni Michelotti. Through Chinetti’s vision and Michelotti’s pen, Ferrari’s most exclusive clients discovered cars that went far beyond Maranello’s catalog: unique bodies, daring prototypes, and Daytona rebirths that blurred the line between road and dream.

- 1957-jaguar-xk-140-drophead
The Jaguar XK 140, introduced in 1954, was the successor to the legendary Jaguar XK 120. Technically the 140 was based on its predecessor and its chassis and suspension were taken over more or less unchanged. The basic inline 6-cylinder engine with 3’442 cc was based on the SE variant of the XK120 and delivered 190 break horsepower while the “S”-version with the C type head delivered 210 brake horsepower. Externally the XK 120's design with a split windscreen and the rounded hips was taken over more or less unchanged. The XK 140 received one-piece bumpers with overriders to the front, bumpers with overriders to the back and direction indicators above the front bumper. The car was available as roadster, coupé and as a cabriolet called “drophead coupé”. The example offered, one of only 2’310 “drophead coupé's” with left hand drive was delivered to the USA and first registered in 1957. The history of the Jaguar is not known until it was acquired in Connecticut by an enthusiast at the beginning of 2024 and imported into Switzerland. Apparently restored some years ago, the XK was prepared for the stringent Swiss MOT and finally registered here for the first time in December 2024. The rare cabriolet still boasts its matching-numbers engine and is in good overall condition and it will be sold with the last MOT from December 2024 to a new Jaguar enthusiast. 1957 Jaguar XK 140 Drophead Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1962 as a road-legal racing car. It was built by Zagato – hence the ‘Z’ in its name – whilst the ‘T’ stands for ‘Tubolare’ (tubular frame). The Giulia’s 1.6-litre engine, derived from the Giulia TI, produced 112 bhp. Combined with a kerb weight of just 760 kg, made possible by the tubular space-frame and an aluminium body, this had a very positive effect on performance. With the Giulia TZ, Alfa Romeo became almost unbeatable in its own class with this aerodynamic and lightweight sports car, for example at the Targa Florio, at Le Mans, and also at Sebring. A total of 112 units were built between 1963 and 1965. With the arrival of the TZ2 – designed exclusively for racing, featuring a plastic body and an engine developed by Auto-Delta – the TZ was renamed the TZ1 amongst Alfisti. The TZ1 offered here, with chassis #019, was built on 25 May 1964 according to Alfa Romeo Storico and delivered to the Swiss importer in Lugano on the 29th of that month. It was finally first registered on 3 January 1965. Originally finished in ‘AR 210 – vergial’ (yellow-green), the small coupé was repainted in classic red during its lifetime, changed hands several times in the 1960s and 1970s, and was fitted with a new and correct replacement engine around 1972. In the early 1980s, the Alfa was acquired by an enthusiast, who sold it to the last owner in 1997. The latter used the TZ for occasional participation in historic hill climbs and various events before having it restored from November 2001 onwards. During this process, the bodywork was completely stripped down, corroded aluminium panels were replaced, and the car was then repainted red from the bare metal. The engine was fitted with a new cylinder head, Carillo racing connecting rods, custom-made pistons, as well as new valve seats and special valves. The gearbox and suspension were also overhauled, and a set of new magnesium wheels was fitted. The restoration is documented through photographic records and receipts. In July 2003, the restoration was completed and the little speedster was once again able to take part in a wide variety of events. Over the past 23 years, around 19’000 km have been covered in this rare TZ, with regular maintenance carried out. Currently, this lovely Alfa Romeo is in very good technical condition with normal signs of wear and tear. The last veteran MOT was carried out in October 2023, meaning this fantastic little sports car can be registered immediately in most German-speaking cantons in Switzerland. 1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1966-chevrolet-corvette-c2-427-sting-ray-convertible
The Chevrolet Corvette C2 was introduced in the summer of 1962 as the second generation of the Corvette under the name Sting Ray. The term ‘Sting Ray’ refers to the stingray in English. Unlike its successor, the Corvette C3, the name was still spelled with a space. For the first time, the Corvette was available as a coupé in addition to a convertible. The later legendary ‘Big Block’ V8 engines first appeared in 1965, initially with a displacement of 6.5 liters and, from 1966, with a displacement of 7.0 liters. Larry Shinoda (a US citizen with Japanese roots) designed the Sting Ray generation, which was built between 1963 and 1967, under GM design chief Bill Mitchell. Examples of the C2 with the ‘Big Block’ engine, available from 1965, can be recognized by the distinctive scoop on the bonnet. The so-called ‘L78’ engine required more space, which necessitated a bulge in the special bonnet. Another new feature was the rotating headlights, which were to become a regular feature in later models as pop-up headlights and only disappeared again in 2005 with the Corvette C6. This fantastic Sting Ray was built on 26 May 1966 and delivered to Dearing Chevrolet in Savannah, Georgia. Ordered with a 427 cui/425 hp V8, 4-speed transmission, Positrac rear axle, side exhaust system and center-lock wheels, the Corvette must have given its first owner a lot of pleasure. Apart from a copy of the delivery invoice, nothing is known about the early years of this powerful convertible. Three American owners are documented from 1993 onwards, before the Vette was imported to its first Swiss owner in 2013. At the end of 2022, the car was taken over by a well-known collector, who never registered it and hardly ever drove it. The C2 still has its matching-numbers original engine and is presented in the original colour combination of ‘Milano Maroon’ with black leatherette upholstery. Basically, the rare power convertible is in very good condition, but due to its long period of inactivity, a major service and a general check-up are certainly to be expected. The Sting Ray will be handed over to its next owner with FIVA ID and the latest veteran MOT completed in August 2020. 1966 Chevrolet Corvette C2 427 Sting Ray Convertible Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1957-mercedes-benz-300-sl
Created to spearhead Mercedes-Benz's return to competition in the post-war era, the 300SL debuted in the 1952 Mille Miglia, finishing 2nd and 4th overall. Wins in the Carrera Pan-Americana and at Le Mans followed, and the 300SL was on its way to becoming part of motor sporting legend. The first racers were open-topped but before the '52 season's end the distinctive gull-wing doored Coupé had appeared. Unusually high sills were a feature of the multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, and while access was not a problem of the open car, the adoption of coupé bodywork required innovative thinking - hence the gull-wing doors. Launched in 1954, the production 300SL retained the spaceframe chassis of the racer and was powered by a 2,996cc, overhead-camshaft, inline six canted at 45 degrees to achieve a lower, more aerodynamic bonnet line. Using innovative direct fuel injection, this state-of-the-art power unit produced 215bhp at 5,800rpm. A four-speed gearbox transmitted power to the hypoid bevel rear axle. Suspension was independent all round by wishbones and coil springs at the front, with swing axles and coil springs at the rear.

The 300 SL was then sold by dealership H.R. Owen to aristocrat, wartime secret-agent, racing driver and naturalist Gavin Maxwell of Ross-shire, Scotland. A keen conservationist, Maxwell split his time between London and Scotland, driving between the two in a series of pre-war Bentleys, including a Corsica-bodied example. Maxwell would go on to own a second 300 SL roadster, the first car notably proved its engineering pedigree with a race from Sandaig to Glasgow for an otter-related emergency. A keen and enthusiastic driver, Maxwell’s biography regales adventures in 300 SLs, one of which Maxwell drove “at fantastic speed on the Moroccan roads — up to 140 mph at times, averaging nearly 98 mph from Marrakesh to Mogador...!” In 1970, the 300 SL found home with the previous and long-term form keeper.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Created to spearhead Mercedes-Benz's return to competition in the post-war era, the 300SL debuted in the 1952 Mille Miglia, finishing 2nd and 4th overall. Wins in the Carrera Pan-Americana and at Le Mans followed, and the 300SL was on its way to becoming part of motor sporting legend. The first racers were open-topped but before the '52 season's end the distinctive gull-wing doored Coupé had appeared. Unusually high sills were a feature of the multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, and while access was not a problem of the open car, the adoption of coupé bodywork required innovative thinking - hence the gull-wing doors. Launched in 1954, the production 300SL retained the spaceframe chassis of the racer and was powered by a 2,996cc, overhead-camshaft, inline six canted at 45 degrees to achieve a lower, more aerodynamic bonnet line.

Classiche Certified - The Sole Pinin Farina Bodied 166 Turin is to car design what Florence was to the Renaissance: crucible, arbiter, and patron. This situation may, however, have been very different had this 166 not existed. It represents year zero in the relationship between styling house Pininfarina – or Pinin Farina in period parlance – and Ferrari. It was the first Berlinetta clothed by the world’s most celebrated automotive couturier and, as such, it matters. In many ways, the construction of this car marked the jumping-off point in an association that has lasted more than 60 years and which has benefited both parties immeasurably. Ferrari 166, chassis 0146(0346), was built at the behest of a wealthy gentleman driver. 1 of just 13 examples built to upgraded MM/53 specification, it helped forge a legendary partnership and is still among the most striking Ferraris ever bodied by this legendary Carrozzeria in its pomp. The 166 established Ferrari’s footing on the international stage. Having maintained Alfa Romeo’s frontline involvement in motor sport via his eponymous Scuderia, only to see it effectively snatched from under him in 1939, Enzo Ferrari had bigger fish to fry - he would manufacture his own car. There was, however, one obstacle to him doing this: under the terms of his severance deal, Enzo was barred from building cars under his own name for a period of several years. Undeterred, but embittered, he established Auto Avio Costruzioni to create a new sports car. But, as Europe descended into hell, the goal of taking on the world from Maranello suddenly seemed a long way off. Just two Touring-bodied Tipo 815s were made using Fiat 508C chassis as a basis. Both led the 1500cc class of the 1940 Mille Miglia only to retire. Ferrari’s dream would have to wait a while longer. With a small but capable team behind him, Enzo began work on a new car as soon as Milan was liberated and this time around it bore his moniker. A new 1.5-litre V12 was designed by Giacchino Colombo (whose earlier credits included Alfa’s Tipo 159 unit) and tested in September 1946. In March of the following year, the initial prototype was running under its own steam. Two months later, Ferrari the marque scored its maiden race win in only its second start as Franco Cortese triumphed in the Rome Grand Prix aboard a 125 Spider. By early 1948, and following an intense period of troubleshooting, the 125 gained an engine capacity hike to 1995cc (from 1497cc) and morphed into the 166. This model – or rather models as there were umpteen variations on the theme – would help anchor Ferrari’s standing as a major player in topflight motor sport, claiming that year’s Targa Florio and Mille Miglia for starters. In November 1948, the marque was first represented at a motor show: on display at the Turin Salon was a 166 Inter coupé and an open 166MM (for Mille Miglia), the latter being better known by the Barchetta (little boat) moniker. Its glorious outline by Touring would in time become enormously famous, covering all manner of Ferraris – and not just 166s. For most of the 1950s, Ferrari production consisted of small-series runs, production of which often didn’t reach into double figures. The Maranello firm was a boutique manufacturer, one patronised by royalty, playboys, movie stars and your common or garden beautiful people. If you wanted a one-off, then no problem: Ferrari typically sold cars as rolling chassis to be clothed by an outside coachbuilder. In the firm’s embryonic years, this tended to be Alfredo Vignale’s eponymous concern. Born in Turin in 1911, and apprenticed as a panel beater when just eleven years old, he worked for Carrozzeria Farina during the 1930s before going it alone at the end of World War II. A talented designer in his own right, he often worked closely with prolific pen-for-hire, Giovanni Michelotti. And while the likes of Ghia, Bertone and others bodied early Ferraris, more often than not, it was Michelotti-styled, Vignale-crafted cars that found greater favour. Pinin Farina This symbiotic relationship would, however, last only a few years. Enzo Ferrari was shrewd enough to realise that having cars completed with an endless array of body styles resulted in a degree of uncertainty as to how they would turn out. He wanted a partner, a carrozzeria of choice. And it was Vignale’s former employer, Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina, who would assume the mantle of favoured couturier. As astute in business as he was artistically gifted, ‘Pinin’ had left his brother Giovanni’s Stablimenti Farina concern in 1930 and set up shop in Turin under his own name. By the early 1950s, as the Italian economy entered a boom period, Farina’s elegant outlines found a ready and affluent clientele. Having known Enzo Ferrari since the 1920s, and having long since recognised his likely assumption to prominence among sports car manufacturers, it was natural that the two would join forces. There was a snag, however: both parties didn’t want to make the first move and go to visit each other. After a certain amount of pride had been swallowed, they met halfway in Tortona and hammered out a deal over lunch. After a hesitant start, Farina bodied a trio of 212 Inters in 1952 (one for movie producer Roberto Rossellini), followed by a batch of 340s, 375 Americas and 250 Europas, along with several competition chassis cars: it marked the birth of an enduring relationship that would flourish for the next half century. MM/53 Chassis 0146 (0346) was the last of the second-series 166MMs made. The new-for-1953 version was introduced for privateers to contest two-litre sports car racing. Thirteen chassis were allocated with a 2250mm wheelbase, with power provided by the same two-litre, all-alloy single overhead cam per bank V12, but now with 6-port cylinder heads and three gurgling, quad-choke downdraught Weber 36 IF/4C carburettors.Another revision was the use of roller cam followers, as trialled on Ferrari’s Aurelio Lampredi-designed ‘long-block’ V12. These modifications helped reinvigorate the ‘Colombo’ unit, increasing revs to 7,200rpm and boosting power to a claimed 160bhp. This resulted in a hike in top speed from 110mph to a highly impressive 137mph, depending on gear ratios. Wet sump lubrication was via an oil cooler mounted vertically to the right of the water radiator. Fuel supply from the 117-litre fuel tank was delivered by twin front-mounted mechanical fuel pumps. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed Type 212/ EU ’box (with synchromesh on third and fourth gears) and a single plate mechanically-actuated clutch. The front end was suspended by means of a transverse leaf spring arrangement, the rigid rear axle set-up comprising semi-elliptic springs with Houdaille lever-type dampers all-round. The addition of twin parallel trailing arms on each side at the rear on Series II – or Tipo 166MM/53 - cars was also a major step forward in terms of ride and handling over earlier editions. The efficient braking system was hydraulically operated and had aluminium drums with steel liners, with Route Borrani providing the oh-so attractive wire-wheels. According to the factory build sheets, our car was completed in July ’53, and signed off by Ing. Franchini. Intriguingly, after the first test, he noted: ‘Scarso di Potenza a tutti I regimi’. Roughly translated, this means ‘A lack of power at all levels’. Later annotations state: ‘ Motore complete di carburatori modificati.’ Pininfarina’s own records claim that the coachwork was finished on July 9th of that year, the first owner being industrialist Kurt Zeller. Ownership History The German owned an iron and steel works in Hammerau, a small town southeast of Munich, located close to the Austrian border. Zeller clearly had the means to indulge himself, having previously owned a 212 Inter Coupé. Just to irritate future historians, this car was returned to the Ferrari works upon taking delivery of the 166. As was often the case around this time, the new car assumed the identity of the old one, ostensibly to circumnavigate crippling import duties on luxury goods. Thus, it ostensibly became chassis 0146 E and carried the existing registration number, AB-39 4060. An amateur racing driver from a time before the term became a slur, Kurt didn’t waste any time fielding his new toy. He teamed up with his younger brother, factory BMW motorcycle star Walter Zeller, and participated in August’s ADAC Nürburgring 1000km, round five of the inaugural World Championship for Sports Cars. Lining up with Modena’s new big guns, a trio of 375MMs driven by GP aces, including eventual winners Alberto Ascari and Giuseppe Farina, the Zellers retired the car late in the race after running out of fuel. A degree of confusion surrounds which sibling drove and which one sat in the navigator’s seat, but they claimed third place in the 1600-2000cc class. The following year saw Kurt Zeller and new wingman Alois Willberger take part in the Tulip Rally. They placed a highly respectable thirteenth from 128 finishers and claimed class honours. The 166MM was sold shortly thereafter to a dealer who in turn moved it on to a US serviceman who was stationed in Germany. The car then sat in the grounds of Miller’s home in Lawrenceville near Atlanta where, over the next four years, it slowly communed with nature. Scroll forward to September 1979, and the car was saved by Gerald T. Sutterfield who moved it into dry storage at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. The noted marque authority had hitherto saved several important ’50s Ferraris, and 0346M was stripped and the chassis part restored, only for other endeavours to take precedence. The turning point arrived in May 1999 after fellow collector, Florida’s Wayne Sparling, gifted the original engine block to Sutterfield from his cache of parts. The scheme never really found traction, though. Two years later, word began to spread that the restoration project was for sale. Enter DK Engineering’s founder, David Cottingham. A visit to Florida resulted in a complete and detailed inventory. It soon became clear that the 166MM was largely complete and remarkably original. Pinin Farina job numbers were still stamped and chalked on several parts, not least the fuel tank and inner panels. The chassis had been repainted in the wrong colour, but there were no signs of prior accident damage, whilst the factory-installed gauges, switchgear, wiring loom and even the steering wheel were also still in place. The car was acquired in 2002 and with a sponsor in place, it was shipped to the UK and DK Engineering embarked on a total restoration. Restored by DK Engineering, 2002 This was no easy task, not least because every attempt was made to retain as much of the car’s originality as possible. Period images of the car outside the Pinin Farina factory at 107 Corso Trapani, Turin proved invaluable. Clive Smart of Shapecraft was tasked with repairing the car’s body, which proved somewhat taxing. The recreation of the missing grille, for example, required three attempts before Cottingham was satisfied. Inevitably, there were challenges with restoring thin aluminium coachwork. Handmade bodies, by definition, are not symmetrical, and Pinin’s ’shells were typically smoothed over with filler prior to painting. However, every effort was made to retain as much originality as possible and any sheet metal removed has been retained with the car for posterity. Then there was the small matter of replacing the missing windows and frames, with Pilkington Glass being commissioned to recreate the original split windscreen. As in period, the side glazing and curved rear screen were shaped from Perspex. Other details, such as the side wind deflectors and the bonnet-sited fly screen were also remade. In order to prolong the V12’s lifespan, improvements were made without affecting the visual appearance of the running gear. A lighter flywheel was also installed along with an easier-to-operate clutch. Sourcing the few missing parts was time-consuming, to say nothing but expensive, with the missing fuel pump being found at auction. Recreating the period colour scheme wasn’t without its headaches either, but thankfully, elements of the original blue was discovered inside the car. As with all DK’s top level restorations, the paintwork was trusted to their usual supplier. The finishing touch was a perfectly replicated chrome serif ‘D’ which was mounted to the car’s pert rump. The restoration was completed in early 2005, the car passing to Dutch collector Henk Koel later that year. In 2006, he had the honour of returning the car to Italy for the first time in more than 50 years when it was displayed at the Concorso d’Eleganza in the grounds of Ville d’Este. The 166MM was subsequently garlanded with honours at the concours at Paleis Het Loo only a few months later. It has since appeared in numerous articles in titles such as Classic & Sports Car, Cavallino and Ferrari World. Not that it was a trailer queen, Koel was exercising the car on the Ennstall Classic in Austria, among other events. Present Day There aren’t enough adjectival phrases that can adequately describe just how lovely this car is. Photographs don’t really lend a sense of scale. It’s smaller than you think; more delicate-looking than its bigger-boned 375MM cousin. It looks quite unlike any other 166, being tauter and less fussy than most comparable Vignale-bodied offerings of the period. So many stylistic elements here were later transposed onto other Pinin’ GTs, not least the signature Perspex-ensconced headlights, the ‘egg crate’ grille and push-button door handles. Then there are those large ducts aft of the doors, which are in place to cool the rear tyres rather than the drum brakes. Step inside and all the ’50s Italian racer-reference points are present and correct right down to the Veglia instruments, original alloy-spoked steering wheel and body-coloured dashboard. It may be pared back in true competition style, but it is elegant with it. Even the cross-bracing to the roof, or the simple pull cords inset in the doors, are period-correct and not out of place. What’s more, it’s far more spacious than preconceptions might have you believe, with plenty of headroom for the taller driver. It’s truly, really lovely. 1953 Ferrari 166 MM Competition Berlinetta D.K. Engineering Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The 166 established Ferrari’s footing on the international stage. Having maintained Alfa Romeo’s frontline involvement in motor sport via his eponymous Scuderia, only to see it effectively snatched from under him in 1939, Enzo Ferrari had bigger fish to fry - he would manufacture his own car. There was, however, one obstacle to him doing this: under the terms of his severance deal, Enzo was barred from building cars under his own name for a period of several years. Undeterred, but embittered, he established Auto Avio Costruzioni to create a new sports car. But, as Europe descended into hell, the goal of taking on the world from Maranello suddenly seemed a long way off. Just two Touring-bodied Tipo 815s were made using Fiat 508C chassis as a basis. Both led the 1500cc class of the 1940 Mille Miglia only to retire. Ferrari’s dream would have to wait a while longer. With a small but capable team behind him, Enzo began work on a new car as soon as Milan was liberated and this time around it bore his moniker. A new 1.5-litre V12 was designed by Giacchino Colombo (whose earlier credits included Alfa’s Tipo 159 unit) and tested in September 1946. In March of the following year, the initial prototype was running under its own steam. Two months later, Ferrari the marque scored its maiden race win in only its second start as Franco Cortese triumphed in the Rome Grand Prix aboard a 125 Spider. By early 1948, and following an intense period of troubleshooting, the 125 gained an engine capacity hike to 1995cc (from 1497cc) and morphed into the 166. This model – or rather models as there were umpteen variations on the theme – would help anchor Ferrari’s standing as a major player in topflight motor sport, claiming that year’s Targa Florio and Mille Miglia for starters. In November 1948, the marque was first represented at a motor show: on display at the Turin Salon was a 166 Inter coupé and an open 166MM (for Mille Miglia), the latter being better known by the Barchetta (little boat) moniker. Its glorious outline by Touring would in time become enormously famous, covering all manner of Ferraris – and not just 166s. For most of the 1950s, Ferrari production consisted of small-series runs, production of which often didn’t reach into double figures. The Maranello firm was a boutique manufacturer, one patronised by royalty, playboys, movie stars and your common or garden beautiful people. If you wanted a one-off, then no problem: Ferrari typically sold cars as rolling chassis to be clothed by an outside coachbuilder. In the firm’s embryonic years, this tended to be Alfredo Vignale’s eponymous concern. Born in Turin in 1911, and apprenticed as a panel beater when just eleven years old, he worked for Carrozzeria Farina during the 1930s before going it alone at the end of World War II. A talented designer in his own right, he often worked closely with prolific pen-for-hire, Giovanni Michelotti. And while the likes of Ghia, Bertone and others bodied early Ferraris, more often than not, it was Michelotti-styled, Vignale-crafted cars that found greater favour. Pinin Farina This symbiotic relationship would, however, last only a few years. Enzo Ferrari was shrewd enough to realise that having cars completed with an endless array of body styles resulted in a degree of uncertainty as to how they would turn out. He wanted a partner, a carrozzeria of choice. And it was Vignale’s former employer, Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina, who would assume the mantle of favoured couturier. As astute in business as he was artistically gifted, ‘Pinin’ had left his brother Giovanni’s Stablimenti Farina concern in 1930 and set up shop in Turin under his own name. By the early 1950s, as the Italian economy entered a boom period, Farina’s elegant outlines found a ready and affluent clientele. Having known Enzo Ferrari since the 1920s, and having long since recognised his likely assumption to prominence among sports car manufacturers, it was natural that the two would join forces. There was a snag, however: both parties didn’t want to make the first move and go to visit each other. After a certain amount of pride had been swallowed, they met halfway in Tortona and hammered out a deal over lunch. After a hesitant start, Farina bodied a trio of 212 Inters in 1952 (one for movie producer Roberto Rossellini), followed by a batch of 340s, 375 Americas and 250 Europas, along with several competition chassis cars: it marked the birth of an enduring relationship that would flourish for the next half century. MM/53 Chassis 0146 (0346) was the last of the second-series 166MMs made. The new-for-1953 version was introduced for privateers to contest two-litre sports car racing. Thirteen chassis were allocated with a 2250mm wheelbase, with power provided by the same two-litre, all-alloy single overhead cam per bank V12, but now with 6-port cylinder heads and three gurgling, quad-choke downdraught Weber 36 IF/4C carburettors.Another revision was the use of roller cam followers, as trialled on Ferrari’s Aurelio Lampredi-designed ‘long-block’ V12. These modifications helped reinvigorate the ‘Colombo’ unit, increasing revs to 7,200rpm and boosting power to a claimed 160bhp. This resulted in a hike in top speed from 110mph to a highly impressive 137mph, depending on gear ratios. Wet sump lubrication was via an oil cooler mounted vertically to the right of the water radiator. Fuel supply from the 117-litre fuel tank was delivered by twin front-mounted mechanical fuel pumps. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed Type 212/ EU ’box (with synchromesh on third and fourth gears) and a single plate mechanically-actuated clutch. The front end was suspended by means of a transverse leaf spring arrangement, the rigid rear axle set-up comprising semi-elliptic springs with Houdaille lever-type dampers all-round. The addition of twin parallel trailing arms on each side at the rear on Series II – or Tipo 166MM/53 - cars was also a major step forward in terms of ride and handling over earlier editions. The efficient braking system was hydraulically operated and had aluminium drums with steel liners, with Route Borrani providing the oh-so attractive wire-wheels. According to the factory build sheets, our car was completed in July ’53, and signed off by Ing. Franchini. Intriguingly, after the first test, he noted: ‘Scarso di Potenza a tutti I regimi’. Roughly translated, this means ‘A lack of power at all levels’. Later annotations state: ‘ Motore complete di carburatori modificati.’ Pininfarina’s own records claim that the coachwork was finished on July 9th of that year, the first owner being industrialist Kurt Zeller. Ownership History The German owned an iron and steel works in Hammerau, a small town southeast of Munich, located close to the Austrian border. Zeller clearly had the means to indulge himself, having previously owned a 212 Inter Coupé. Just to irritate future historians, this car was returned to the Ferrari works upon taking delivery of the 166. As was often the case around this time, the new car assumed the identity of the old one, ostensibly to circumnavigate crippling import duties on luxury goods. Thus, it ostensibly became chassis 0146 E and carried the existing registration number, AB-39 4060. An amateur racing driver from a time before the term became a slur, Kurt didn’t waste any time fielding his new toy. He teamed up with his younger brother, factory BMW motorcycle star Walter Zeller, and participated in August’s ADAC Nürburgring 1000km, round five of the inaugural World Championship for Sports Cars. Lining up with Modena’s new big guns, a trio of 375MMs driven by GP aces, including eventual winners Alberto Ascari and Giuseppe Farina, the Zellers retired the car late in the race after running out of fuel. A degree of confusion surrounds which sibling drove and which one sat in the navigator’s seat, but they claimed third place in the 1600-2000cc class. The following year saw Kurt Zeller and new wingman Alois Willberger take part in the Tulip Rally. They placed a highly respectable thirteenth from 128 finishers and claimed class honours. The 166MM was sold shortly thereafter to a dealer who in turn moved it on to a US serviceman who was stationed in Germany. The car then sat in the grounds of Miller’s home in Lawrenceville near Atlanta where, over the next four years, it slowly communed with nature. Scroll forward to September 1979, and the car was saved by Gerald T. Sutterfield who moved it into dry storage at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. The noted marque authority had hitherto saved several important ’50s Ferraris, and 0346M was stripped and the chassis part restored, only for other endeavours to take precedence. The turning point arrived in May 1999 after fellow collector, Florida’s Wayne Sparling, gifted the original engine block to Sutterfield from his cache of parts. The scheme never really found traction, though. Two years later, word began to spread that the restoration project was for sale. Enter DK Engineering’s founder, David Cottingham. A visit to Florida resulted in a complete and detailed inventory. It soon became clear that the 166MM was largely complete and remarkably original. Pinin Farina job numbers were still stamped and chalked on several parts, not least the fuel tank and inner panels. The chassis had been repainted in the wrong colour, but there were no signs of prior accident damage, whilst the factory-installed gauges, switchgear, wiring loom and even the steering wheel were also still in place. The car was acquired in 2002 and with a sponsor in place, it was shipped to the UK and DK Engineering embarked on a total restoration. Restored by DK Engineering, 2002 This was no easy task, not least because every attempt was made to retain as much of the car’s originality as possible. Period images of the car outside the Pinin Farina factory at 107 Corso Trapani, Turin proved invaluable. Clive Smart of Shapecraft was tasked with repairing the car’s body, which proved somewhat taxing. The recreation of the missing grille, for example, required three attempts before Cottingham was satisfied. Inevitably, there were challenges with restoring thin aluminium coachwork. Handmade bodies, by definition, are not symmetrical, and Pinin’s ’shells were typically smoothed over with filler prior to painting. However, every effort was made to retain as much originality as possible and any sheet metal removed has been retained with the car for posterity. Then there was the small matter of replacing the missing windows and frames, with Pilkington Glass being commissioned to recreate the original split windscreen. As in period, the side glazing and curved rear screen were shaped from Perspex. Other details, such as the side wind deflectors and the bonnet-sited fly screen were also remade. In order to prolong the V12’s lifespan, improvements were made without affecting the visual appearance of the running gear. A lighter flywheel was also installed along with an easier-to-operate clutch. Sourcing the few missing parts was time-consuming, to say nothing but expensive, with the missing fuel pump being found at auction. Recreating the period colour scheme wasn’t without its headaches either, but thankfully, elements of the original blue was discovered inside the car. As with all DK’s top level restorations, the paintwork was trusted to their usual supplier. The finishing touch was a perfectly replicated chrome serif ‘D’ which was mounted to the car’s pert rump. The restoration was completed in early 2005, the car passing to Dutch collector Henk Koel later that year. In 2006, he had the honour of returning the car to Italy for the first time in more than 50 years when it was displayed at the Concorso d’Eleganza in the grounds of Ville d’Este. The 166MM was subsequently garlanded with honours at the concours at Paleis Het Loo only a few months later. It has since appeared in numerous articles in titles such as Classic & Sports Car, Cavallino and Ferrari World. Not that it was a trailer queen, Koel was exercising the car on the Ennstall Classic in Austria, among other events. Present Day There aren’t enough adjectival phrases that can adequately describe just how lovely this car is. Photographs don’t really lend a sense of scale. It’s smaller than you think; more delicate-looking than its bigger-boned 375MM cousin. It looks quite unlike any other 166, being tauter and less fussy than most comparable Vignale-bodied offerings of the period. So many stylistic elements here were later transposed onto other Pinin’ GTs, not least the signature Perspex-ensconced headlights, the ‘egg crate’ grille and push-button door handles. Then there are those large ducts aft of the doors, which are in place to cool the rear tyres rather than the drum brakes. Step inside and all the ’50s Italian racer-reference points are present and correct right down to the Veglia instruments, original alloy-spoked steering wheel and body-coloured dashboard. It may be pared back in true competition style, but it is elegant with it. Even the cross-bracing to the roof, or the simple pull cords inset in the doors, are period-correct and not out of place. What’s more, it’s far more spacious than preconceptions might have you believe, with plenty of headroom for the taller driver. It’s truly, really lovely. Other Cars from D.K.

The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the most iconic cars in automotive history – renowned for its elegant British design, performance, and, last but not least, as James Bond’s most famous car. The Aston Martin DB5 offered here was delivered in October 1964 to Plough Motors in the United Kingdom as a demo car in Dubonnet Rosso over a Fawn Connolly leather interior. In the mid-1980s, it was sold at auction in poor condition and completely restored by Aston Martin specialists Four Ashes Garage in Stratford-upon-Avon. The car was later imported to Gstaad by a Swiss family. In 1993, this beautiful Aston Martin DB5 was purchased by its last owner and driven frequently. It was regularly serviced by Aston Martin specialists and very well maintained. A few years ago, in 2002 to be precise, the engine was completely rebuilt by Roos Engineering, Frauenkappelen, for over CHF 95,000, invoices are available. The car is in excellent condition, with an original instruction book, the Aston Martin build sheet, and veteran approved. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

By the mid-1960s it seemed Ferrari could do no wrong, winning on all fronts from sports car racing to Grands Prix and producing the most beautiful cars in the world. Ferrari's dual-purpose cars seemed unstoppable combining race-winning performance with film star good looks. As the legendary 250 GT LWB "Tour de France" gave way to the marvellous 250 GT SWB Berlinetta - and lead ultimately to the awe-inspiring 250 GTO in 1962. Introduced at the 1964 Paris Auto Show, the new 275 GTB gave Ferrari a chance to incorporate all the best characteristics of this fabled bloodline. Many consider the resulting car to be the finest production Ferrari ever built, combining the thoroughbred mechanical pedigree of its road racing forebears with sufficient creature comforts to make the 275 GTB a superlative grand touring automobile. Under the skin, the 275 GTB incorporated the best Ferrari chassis design, starting with the oval section tube backbone chassis. Independent suspension was fitted all around for the first time on a road-going Ferrari, and a 5-speed gearbox was also included in the specification. The transmission was mounted at the rear of the car for improved weight distribution in a transaxle. Now enlarged to 3.3 litres, the 60-degree V12 engine remained the familiar Colombo type, in standard form producing 280bhp at 7,600rpm. A higher, claimed 300bhp, state of tune was available by employing six Weber carburettors instead of the standard three. In addition, customers purchasing a 275 GTB for road use could also specify aluminium coachwork. This coachwork was all new too, a stunning Pininfarina design that evoked the graceful lines of the legendary 250 GTO. A long bonnet combined with a fastback rear body created a striking profile, while vents in the front wings gave the car a muscular edge. Vents in the sail panels added to the effect and paid tribute to the 250 GT "Tour de France" Berlinetta’s. A smoothly integrated rear spoiler helped give the car a strong visual identity. Although the 275 GTB was a car of many firsts, it was also the last car that could be considered a true coach-built road/race Berlinetta in the great Ferrari tradition. Although most lived their lives on the streets, many led a dual life, winning on road courses and hill climbs on the weekend, while providing stylish and exciting transportation during the week. Only approximately 60 275 GTB’s were bodied entirely out of alloy during the entire four year production run of 275’s. Of these, approximately 25 were also delivered new with the more powerful 6 carburettor engine option. From those, it is understood that just 6 examples were completed in RHD. Peter Mitchell was a wealthy man who knew his Ferraris. The Australian had already owned a short nose 275 GTB, and so when he ordered this car, he set out to make what was already a very special car, unique. As per the original build specification, this 275 GTB was optioned from new with an aluminium body, headrests, competition cloth seat inserts, and as a special order, a hand-painted Scuderia Ferrari shield on the rear of the kamm-tail. The car was ordered through Maranello Concessionaires in Egham, as all RHD examples at the time were. When the 275 was ready for collection, Mitchell was just 18 years old. He journeyed to the factory and collected the car personally, taking the car to Rome where he resided. In early 1966, the car was shipped to Australia continuing in his care and much more usable in RHD. The 275 would remain there until 2013. Whilst it passed through several keepers, the car itself had never been on the open market, changing hands privately over the years from one owner to the other. By the early 1990s, the 275 had been refinished in Rosso. The Ferrari Owners Club records note the car passing through the hands of Ian Cotter, Geoff Thornton and then David Rodd, each highly respected Ferrari collectors in their own right. In 2013, the car benefitted from a very extensive overhaul including an engine and gearbox rebuild by one of the leading Ferrari workshops in Australia. Once back in the UK, having been purchased by the current custodian, the decision was made to return the car to its original colour of Argento. Initiating an extensive cosmetic restoration with notable marque specialists in the UK, the works totalled £175,000. The body, when stripped, was found to have remained in excellent and original condition, thanks to the Australian climate.This restoration culminated in the car being invited to and presented at Pebble Beach in 2014. Subsequently, this example was sold to its next owner, who utilised GTO Engineering's highly respected workshops to carry out routine maintenance on the 275. In 2018, this wonderful 275 changed hands once more, purchased back by its previous custodian, who originally presented the car at Pebble Beach a decade prior. Today this alloy-bodied 275 presents as you would expect for a former Pebble Beach entrant. Accompanied by its tool roll, original handbook and Ferrari red book Classiche certification, this wonderful 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy' is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy' D.K.

Introduced at the 1964 Paris Auto Show, the new 275 GTB gave Ferrari a chance to incorporate all the best characteristics of this fabled bloodline. Many consider the resulting car to be the finest production Ferrari ever built, combining the thoroughbred mechanical pedigree of its road racing forebears with sufficient creature comforts to make the 275 GTB a superlative grand touring automobile. Under the skin, the 275 GTB incorporated the best Ferrari chassis design, starting with the oval section tube backbone chassis. Independent suspension was fitted all around for the first time on a road-going Ferrari, and a 5-speed gearbox was also included in the specification. The transmission was mounted at the rear of the car for improved weight distribution in a transaxle. Now enlarged to 3.3 litres, the 60-degree V12 engine remained the familiar Colombo type, in standard form producing 280bhp at 7,600rpm. A higher, claimed 300bhp, state of tune was available by employing six Weber carburettors instead of the standard three. In addition, customers purchasing a 275 GTB for road use could also specify aluminium coachwork. This coachwork was all new too, a stunning Pininfarina design that evoked the graceful lines of the legendary 250 GTO. A long bonnet combined with a fastback rear body created a striking profile, while vents in the front wings gave the car a muscular edge. Vents in the sail panels added to the effect and paid tribute to the 250 GT "Tour de France" Berlinetta’s. A smoothly integrated rear spoiler helped give the car a strong visual identity. Although the 275 GTB was a car of many firsts, it was also the last car that could be considered a true coach-built road/race Berlinetta in the great Ferrari tradition. Although most lived their lives on the streets, many led a dual life, winning on road courses and hill climbs on the weekend, while providing stylish and exciting transportation during the week. Only approximately 60 275 GTB’s were bodied entirely out of alloy during the entire four year production run of 275’s. Of these, approximately 25 were also delivered new with the more powerful 6 carburettor engine option. From those, it is understood that just 6 examples were completed in RHD. Peter Mitchell was a wealthy man who knew his Ferraris. The Australian had already owned a short nose 275 GTB, and so when he ordered this car, he set out to make what was already a very special car, unique. As per the original build specification, this 275 GTB was optioned from new with an aluminium body, headrests, competition cloth seat inserts, and as a special order, a hand-painted Scuderia Ferrari shield on the rear of the kamm-tail. The car was ordered through Maranello Concessionaires in Egham, as all RHD examples at the time were. When the 275 was ready for collection, Mitchell was just 18 years old. He journeyed to the factory and collected the car personally, taking the car to Rome where he resided. In early 1966, the car was shipped to Australia continuing in his care and much more usable in RHD. The 275 would remain there until 2013. Whilst it passed through several keepers, the car itself had never been on the open market, changing hands privately over the years from one owner to the other. By the early 1990s, the 275 had been refinished in Rosso. The Ferrari Owners Club records note the car passing through the hands of Ian Cotter, Geoff Thornton and then David Rodd, each highly respected Ferrari collectors in their own right. In 2013, the car benefitted from a very extensive overhaul including an engine and gearbox rebuild by one of the leading Ferrari workshops in Australia. Once back in the UK, having been purchased by the current custodian, the decision was made to return the car to its original colour of Argento. Initiating an extensive cosmetic restoration with notable marque specialists in the UK, the works totalled £175,000. The body, when stripped, was found to have remained in excellent and original condition, thanks to the Australian climate.This restoration culminated in the car being invited to and presented at Pebble Beach in 2014. Subsequently, this example was sold to its next owner, who utilised GTO Engineering's highly respected workshops to carry out routine maintenance on the 275. In 2018, this wonderful 275 changed hands once more, purchased back by its previous custodian, who originally presented the car at Pebble Beach a decade prior. Today this alloy-bodied 275 presents as you would expect for a former Pebble Beach entrant. Accompanied by its tool roll, original handbook and Ferrari red book Classiche certification, this wonderful 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy' is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately.
