- 1968-lamborghini-islero
Very rare Lamborghini Islero Grand Tourer. There were only 125 first series and 100 Islero S built in 1968-1969!! This car is an original Belgian delivered car (Socaria) with matching numbers engine! Finished in the original color combination with completely original interior!! It was the replacement for the 400 GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The Islero was introduced at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show alongside the Lamborghini Espada. While both automobiles featured a 2+2 coupé body style, the Islero was intended to be a more visually conservative alternative to the then-radical Espada, in keeping with the traditional style of the earlier 400 GT. The car's namesake, Islero, was a Miura bull that killed matador Manuel Rodriguez. Carrozzeria Marazzi was chosen to construct the Islero's body. This firm was chosen as it was founded by Carlo Marazzi, a former employee of the now-bankrupt Carrozzeria Touring. Touring had previously produced bodies for the 350 GT and 400 GT. The firm was staffed by former Touring employees, along with Marazzi's sons Mario and Serafino. Ferruccio Lamborghini was rumored to be the true designer of the body, dictating his requirements to Marazzi. The design was essentially a rebody of the 400 GT, with its good outward visibility, roomier interior, and additional soundproofing improving driver and passenger comfort compared to previous models.

- 1971 Porsche 911 S
In 1971 only 788 targa with the 2.2 litre 6-cylinder boxer engine in the 180 hp variant left the works in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen. This example was completed towards the end of 1970 and 1st registered on the 7th May 1971. Several years ago, the 911 was restored in Holland where it received a repaint in “Blue metallic” 324. The interior in black vinyl was restored at the same time and is in good condition. The engine, the 5-speed gearbox and the rest of the mechanical bits were always carefully maintained and overhauled as necessary. Some receipts are available and will be handed over with the car. In 2021, the Porsche was taken over by the vendor, imported into Germany and integrated into his collection. Due to lack of time the stunning targa was driven sparingly, and therefore the owner has now decided to pass it on to a new enthusiast. This 911 S is in good to very good overall condition and will certainly delight a new owner for years to come. The car has German documents, is on H-plates and Swiss custom duties have so far not been paid. For a Swiss buyer the car will be properly imported and MOT'd after the sale. 1971 Porsche 911 S Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1970 Iso Grifo 7-Litri Series I by Bertone
Confirmed as the final 7-Litri Series I Iso Grifo constructed, chassis 326 was completed 9 September 1970 finished in the striking livery of black with a silver roof over beige leather trim and fitted with optional air conditioning, Series II Elektron wheels, ZF five-speed gearbox, and 2.88:1 gearing. Sold new in Italy, the car was exported to Sweden in the mid-1970s after being acquired by marque aficionado Gosta Andren. While under Andren’s stewardship, the 7-Litri was reportedly featured in a 1986 issue of Automobil and later underwent a sympathetic restoration with the expressed intent of maintaining the car’s original charm. Great care was taken in refining its mechanical components before 326 was refinished in the factory color of Grigio Reims Metallizzato. After several years on the display circuit, the car was imported to America in 2014 and acquired by its current owner in 2018. The consignor immediately commissioned what would become a multi-year restoration to factory specifications by Classic Performance Restorations of Gilbert, Arizona. Scores of invoices totaling nearly $200,000 outline the exhaustive process, which included a new wiring harness from Iso Rivolta Deutschland, a custom-fabricated, ceramic-coated exhaust system, rebuilding the carburetor, vapor-honing the intake manifold, and extensive engine tuning. After sorting the mechanical components, an all-new deep blue leather interior was fitted along with a fresh walnut dash and rebuilt air-conditioning system. In 2023, the Iso Grifo participated in the thrilling Copperstate 1000 rally across Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, completing the four-day event without issue. Further underscoring the car’s treasured life, it has been confirmed to retain its numbers-matching 7-liter Chevrolet V-8 engine. A copy of its original build sheet, decades of service invoices, former owners’ correspondence, and photographs of Andren’s restoration accompany the sale. Comprehensively sorted and primed for its next rally, this Iso Grifo 7-Litri five-speed awaits a discerning enthusiast seeking the finest blend of American muscle and Italian design. 1970 Iso Grifo 7-Litri Series I by Bertone RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

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

- 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera
This 1996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet is a special example finished in the stunning shade of Speed Yellow- one of the best colors on this generation of 911. With just 53,103 miles on the odometer, this 993 is in exceptional condition and features a few unique “Z-Code” Special Wishes options. The striking Speed Yellow paint is paired with a black fabric soft top and black finish Carrera script along the rear decklid wich is also equipped with an electrically deployable rear wing. A set of 17” Cup wheels are fitted with Porsche Crest wheel caps and are wrapped in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires. On the inside, black leather covers the seats and door cards, and both front seats are equipped with full power adjustment. What separates this 993 from other Carrera Cabriolets is the stunning Special Wishes options on the interior. To match the striking Speed Yellow on the exterior, the original owner specified Speed Yellow leather accents on the handbrake, shifter, and shift boot and the leather-wrapped gauge surrounds. Additionally, Speed Yellow seatbelts were optioned from the factory. These combine to make a particularly special feeling interior and likely a one-of-a-kind specification. Powering the 993 Carrera is a 3.6-liter M64 Flat-6 engine that produces 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and loves to pull hard all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. 1996 was the first year of the VarioRam system on the 993, which features variable length intake runners and is designed to optimize both low-down torque and high RPM power. The implementation of this system resulted in an increase of 14 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual Getrag gearbox with Porsche’s famous floor-hinged pedals. The 993 is the perfect sports car for enthusiasts looking for a classic driving experience paired with modern performance and reliability. This Carrera Cabriolet, in its appealing color combination and numerous Special Wishes options, will stand out in the sea of grey and black 911s and will be a great conversation piece at any PCA event. 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1973 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV
Starting life as a US-Specification 1750 GTV finished in Rosso Alfa, this car is a magnificent testament to the vision and persistence of its owner, who built it over a six year period as the ultimate roadgoing Giulia. Every aspect of the car was built or rebuilt with exceptional attention to detail and without any expense spared and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Prior to the restoration, the car was a solid Texas and California fast-road car with a stripped interior, but the previous owner wanted to take the car as far as he possibly could. During the restoration, which spanned the 2017 to 2022 period, the car was fitted with the 1969 homologation-type flares from Alfaholics, as well as GTAm-style wheels and Cibie rally lights up front. The quality of the components throughout the car is first-rate, with countless Alfaholics bits, as well as paintwork by multiple-time Pebble Beach Concours winner Charlie Potts, and engine by well-known race motor builder Terry Tinney. The interior is exceptionally simple aesthetically but checks all of the boxes you would want in a classic car. A pair of classic-looking sport seats are upholstered in a mix of leather and Alcantara and are fitted with Sabelt 4-point harnesses. Behind them, the rear seat has been removed, and in its place sits a parcel shelf with a chrome fire extinguisher and a rear half cage painted to match the car’s exterior. Sitting in front of the driver are a pair of large, clear Jaeger instruments, and the classic Alfa-Romeo shifter comes straight out of the dashboard, falling perfectly to hand. The engine was fully balanced and blueprinted, using JE-Spruell pistons and Carillo connecting rods, nitrided crankshaft, and was built up to 1825cc. It employs MSD ignition and dual 45mm Weber carburetors fed by a 10-gallon ATL fuel cell with Monza filler. The head was ported and matched to both the intake and exhaust manifolds. To increase dependability, a new lightweight starter was fitted and a serpentine belt conversion was performed. Darstan tubular headers were installed and paired to a side exit exhaust, just like what would have been found on a real GTAm. Heavy duty engine mounts from Alfaholics were fitted, as well as aluminum carburetor supports. The engine was dyno-tested and made 168 hp at 7,100 RPM. The torque peaked at 6,300 RPM at 135 foot-pounds but more than 89% of that figure is available between 4,000 RPM and 7,200 RPM. Under current ownership, the car has undergone significant servicing with Issimi Mechanica that included new JE pistons, new spark plugs, numerous new gaskets, a throttle pedal recalibration, and an adjustment of the valve lash. Additionally, the car was entirely re-wired by an aerospace engineer, solving one of the most notorious issues with Italian cars of this era. Additional upgrades included seam welding the car in the engine compartment, as well as the addition of an Alfaholics chassis leg stiffening kit. The front suspension crossmember was reinforced, as were the steering box mounting points. In the rear, an Alfaholics race differential was fitted with improved cooling and a Limited Slip Differential. Other Alfaholics suspension parts include adjustable suspension (springs and dampers), dropped spindles, 28mm sway bar, adjustable caster rods, polyurethane camber top joint bushings, rose jointed track rod kit, quick steering arms, drilled trailing arms, aluminum T bar, billet steering box (necessary because of the of suspension and enhanced grip provided by the wide wheels and tires). The undercarriage was painted in 2-part epoxy and then sprayed with black truck bedliner to increase durability and reduce the chances of rust. The result of this effort is a well-resolved car that is not a race car, but is instead the ultimate weekend toy, one which is tractable and civilized enough to use on the road while being an order of magnitude more thrilling (to drive and to look at) than a standard Giulia GT or GTV. It has been shown to great effect at a number of Northern California events including the Monterey Kickoff, Hillsborough and Niello Concours, and many more. It has covered more than 1,000 miles of shakedown and is accordingly well-resolved. The car is extensively documented with invoices and other paperwork from the build such as engine setup information, torque and alignment specifications, and a binder summarizing the build and depicting the paint and bodywork in progress. 1973 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Starting life as a US-Specification 1750 GTV finished in Rosso Alfa, this car is a magnificent testament to the vision and persistence of its owner, who built it over a six year period as the ultimate roadgoing Giulia. Every aspect of the car was built or rebuilt with exceptional attention to detail and without any expense spared and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Prior to the restoration, the car was a solid Texas and California fast-road car with a stripped interior, but the previous owner wanted to take the car as far as he possibly could. During the restoration, which spanned the 2017 to 2022 period, the car was fitted with the 1969 homologation-type flares from Alfaholics, as well as GTAm-style wheels and Cibie rally lights up front. The quality of the components throughout the car is first-rate, with countless Alfaholics bits, as well as paintwork by multiple-time Pebble Beach Concours winner Charlie Potts, and engine by well-known race motor builder Terry Tinney. The interior is exceptionally simple aesthetically but checks all of the boxes you would want in a classic car. A pair of classic-looking sport seats are upholstered in a mix of leather and Alcantara and are fitted with Sabelt 4-point harnesses. Behind them, the rear seat has been removed, and in its place sits a parcel shelf with a chrome fire extinguisher and a rear half cage painted to match the car’s exterior. Sitting in front of the driver are a pair of large, clear Jaeger instruments, and the classic Alfa-Romeo shifter comes straight out of the dashboard, falling perfectly to hand. The engine was fully balanced and blueprinted, using JE-Spruell pistons and Carillo connecting rods, nitrided crankshaft, and was built up to 1825cc. It employs MSD ignition and dual 45mm Weber carburetors fed by a 10-gallon ATL fuel cell with Monza filler. The head was ported and matched to both the intake and exhaust manifolds. To increase dependability, a new lightweight starter was fitted and a serpentine belt conversion was performed. Darstan tubular headers were installed and paired to a side exit exhaust, just like what would have been found on a real GTAm. Heavy duty engine mounts from Alfaholics were fitted, as well as aluminum carburetor supports. The engine was dyno-tested and made 168 hp at 7,100 RPM. The torque peaked at 6,300 RPM at 135 foot-pounds but more than 89% of that figure is available between 4,000 RPM and 7,200 RPM. Under current ownership, the car has undergone significant servicing with Issimi Mechanica that included new JE pistons, new spark plugs, numerous new gaskets, a throttle pedal recalibration, and an adjustment of the valve lash. Additionally, the car was entirely re-wired by an aerospace engineer, solving one of the most notorious issues with Italian cars of this era. Additional upgrades included seam welding the car in the engine compartment, as well as the addition of an Alfaholics chassis leg stiffening kit. The front suspension crossmember was reinforced, as were the steering box mounting points. In the rear, an Alfaholics race differential was fitted with improved cooling and a Limited Slip Differential. Other Alfaholics suspension parts include adjustable suspension (springs and dampers), dropped spindles, 28mm sway bar, adjustable caster rods, polyurethane camber top joint bushings, rose jointed track rod kit, quick steering arms, drilled trailing arms, aluminum T bar, billet steering box (necessary because of the of suspension and enhanced grip provided by the wide wheels and tires). The undercarriage was painted in 2-part epoxy and then sprayed with black truck bedliner to increase durability and reduce the chances of rust. The result of this effort is a well-resolved car that is not a race car, but is instead the ultimate weekend toy, one which is tractable and civilized enough to use on the road while being an order of magnitude more thrilling (to drive and to look at) than a standard Giulia GT or GTV. It has been shown to great effect at a number of Northern California events including the Monterey Kickoff, Hillsborough and Niello Concours, and many more. It has covered more than 1,000 miles of shakedown and is accordingly well-resolved. The car is extensively documented with invoices and other paperwork from the build such as engine setup information, torque and alignment specifications, and a binder summarizing the build and depicting the paint and bodywork in progress.

- 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900 CS Pinin Farina
Launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1950, the Alfa Romeo 1900 was a significant advance for the growing company. The 1900 was the first Alfa Romeo designed and built for production assembly and the first Alfa Romeo available in left-hand drive. Offered in four-door Berlina and two-door Sprint variants, the 1900 was initially powered by a 1,884cc, 4-cylinder twin cam engine producing a capable 90 horsepower. Racing victories in the Targa Florio and Stella Alpina rallies lead to Alfa Romeo marketing and promoting the 1900 as “the family car that wins races”. In 1951, Alfa Romeo released the shorter 2.5-meter wheelbase 1900C, followed quickly by a more powerful engine option, the 1900 “Sprint”. The Sprint was equipped with a bored-out 1,900cc engine producing 100 horsepower. Approximately 100 of the performance-oriented, short-wheelbase 1900s were delivered with the more powerful Sprint engines to famed Italian coachbuilder Pinin Farina. Pinin Farina designed the very elegant coupe body known as the 1900 “Corto” Sprint. The unique platform design and performance engine enticed other notable coachbuilders including Touring, Zagato, and Bertone, however the Pinin Farina design, with its pure lines and ideal proportions, delivers a handsome and balanced profile ideally paired with state-of-the-art twin-cam performance. Under former ownership, the prior owner purchased this 1900 CS from an esteemed Northern California collector to accompany multiple highly prized vehicles in his personal collection. Having enlisted expert Raffi Najjarian of The Pit Stop, a great deal of work was performed on the car’s mechanical components including an engine rebuild beyond CSS specifications. This rebuild included the installation of a CSS crankshaft, larger pistons, dual Weber 44 DCO carburetors feeding into an Abarth intake manifold, and new exhaust. Additional work included the installation of an oil cooler, electric fuel pump, new fuel tank, and a supplementary electric cooling fan, all of which further required upgrading the electrical system with new wiring. Substantial time was further spent improving the car’s driving dynamics. Inclusive of the suspension rebuild, all new Alfin drum brakes were installed, while the front A-arms were updated with 2500 series units and a rebuilt steering box. The original column mounted four-speed transmission was replaced with a floor mounted five-speed gearbox and a new clutch. As the mechanical work was completed, the engine bay was detailed and carefully finished using as many authentic components as possible. In 2018, the car was offered for sale by Fantasy Junction. A few years later, the owner passed away and the car was auctioned by Bonhams in 2020, at which time, the current and consigning owner purchased the car. Under current ownership, this Alfa Romeo has benefited from new leather seat reupholstery, new carpet, a valve job for the twin cam head, general mechanical freshening, and excellent paint correction to high driver level. As an added performance feature, this 1900 is outfitted with exhaust cutouts which can be engaged manually from behind the driver’s seat. These levers bypass the mufflers delivering a more vigorous exhaust note. Today this handsome Pinin Farina 1900 CS presents with a quality high gloss vivid red finish ideal for events and tours. Panel fit is generally good, in keeping with period construction. The doors open and shut easily, while the lightweight alloy hood and trunk raise and lower without issue. A few superficial stone chips are visible in the front facing areas, though none affect the overall high driver level presentation. The windshield and side glass, many of which bear the original glass Securit brand marks, present nicely including the unique sweeping wrap around rear window. The grille and eyebrow openings were re-chromed during the refresh, still offering excellent reflections and smooth finish. The rear bumpers and chrome trunk handle are also very nicely presented. The absence of further garnish molding and chrome trim is a welcome relief from often overdone cars of this period. In keeping with the performance theme, the car is finished with beautiful Borrani wire wheels. Under prior ownership, all four wheels and the matching spare wheel were rebuilt and powder-coated in silver finish. The wheels are finished with correct chrome plated dual ear knock-offs with correctly sized 2019 date-coded Michelin tires. The interior reflects the performance lineage of these exceptional cars with a focus on spirited driving. The seat supports were refinished under current ownership along with new carpet. The newly reupholstered leather covered rally-style Zagato seats complete the performance picture, giving excellent lateral support, particularly when compared to the original style bench seats. The cloth headliner and sun visors are clean and taut, while the rear parcel shelf and leather straps offer a nice finishing touch to the interior. The upgraded 5-speed manual gearbox is very well positioned, wrapped in a leather boot, and topped with a polished alloy shift knob. The dashboard features correct instrumentation with clean lenses, crisp numbers, and handsome lettering. A safety kill switch is located under the left side of the dash. The interior is handsomely finished overall with a period correct flat Nardi wooden steering wheel, accented by the Alfa Romeo center insignia. The trunk is nicely finished in satin black with a proper textured floor mat, and a distinctive optional touch – a handheld Marchal spotlight, convenient for rally road repairs, particularly effective in evening or sunset events. The engine compartment has been nicely maintained since the rebuild and recent valve job. Correct finishes, authentic parts, proper lines and materials, and uniform finishes now display slight patina resulting from modest use. During the rebuild, the engine was upgraded with twin 44DCO (No. 13 and 15) Weber carburetors and an Abarth intake manifold. A FISPA air cleaner was installed along with the Weber carburetors. The undercarriage presents with no evidence of structural compromise and while not detailed for show, all components are clean, dry, and tidy. Of note, the upgraded 2500 series front suspension and shock absorbers add to the handling and performance of this car. The car starts with ease and warms to a nice throaty idle. Driving manners are quite good under general road use, but greatly enhanced with the 5-speed gearbox, improved front suspension, and power upgrades to the engine. The engine operates with good oil pressure and proper running temperatures. The brakes operate confidently with good pedal pressure and the steering is generally good but has slight play at top dead center. The driving experience in this Alfa Romeo 1900 benefits from the upgraded floor mounted 5-speed with ratios ideally spaced for road or highway use. Accompanying the car is a set of tools wrapped in a period correct cloth roll, a restored jack, a Marchal spotlight, and a matching spare wire wheel. This is a great opportunity to acquire an event eligible rare Pinin Farina bodied Alfa Romeo combining professionally refined mechanical improvements and delightful visual presentation, enhanced by thoughtful performance upgrades. For those who admire hand-built coachwork, state of the art engineering, and exciting driving, this Alfa Romeo 1900 CS is sure to deliver ongoing rewards uniquely delivered in vintage automobile ownership experiences. 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900 CS Pinin Farina Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1969-alfa-romeo-1750-gtv-serie-1
The two-door coupé, based on the Alfa Romeo Giulia chassis, had its debut in September 1963 at the Frankfurt IAA. Initially called Giulia Sprint GT, the car received a timelessly beautiful coachwork designed by none other by Giorgetto Giugiaro and is considered an absolute design icon to this day. Produced until 1975 it was equipped with engines from 1.3 to 2.0 litres. Our example, a 1750 GT Veloce of the first series with floor mounted pedals is probably the most sought after variant. Completed in 1969, the Alfa was most probably a demo with Joseph Siffert Automobiles (THE racing legend Jo Siffert) before it was handed over to its first owner, an automotive electrician from Bern, on the 14th of April 1970. On the 20th of May 1970, the beautiful coupé was registered for the first time. The GTV remained with its first owner until 2010 when, after a long storage and with 90’000 kilometres covered, it was passed on to a good friend, the vendor‘s father. The new owner had some stone chips and scratches repaired with a partial repaint and had the Alfa carefully recommissioned. In 2013 he handed the GTV over to his son who, in 2016 had all shaft seals replaced on the engine, gearbox and differential. At the same time the car also received new clutch cylinders as well as a new clutch pressure- and friction plate. In 2023 the rear axle was equipped with new brake callipers and pads and in 2024 a new brake servo as well as a new fuel pump were installed. Lack of time led to only 4’000 kilometres covered in the last 14 years and the vendor now has decided to sell his GTV. This fantastic 1750 now has 93’000 kilometres on the clock, still has its own document folder including its service booklet and is in very good and very original condition. The coupé will be sold to the next Alfisto with a number of receipts as well as the most recent veteran MOT from June 2024. 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Serie 1 Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1963 FERRARI 250 GTE
The Ferrari 250 GTE (Gran Turismo Evoluzione) or GT 2+2, launched in 1960, is a touring car developed by the Italian manufacturer Ferrari, designed by Pininfarina and bodied by Scaglietti. Although a handful of Ferraris - mostly special orders - had previously been fitted with limited space behind their only two seats, the 250 GTE inaugurated a new range of bodywork for Ferrari, the "GT 2+2". Despite a certain amount of condescension from "purists", the GT 2+2 or 4-seater coupés were a great success, and for many years became the automaker's specialty. In fact, the 250 GTE and its descendant, the 330 GT, accounted for over 50% of the company's output at the time. Described as "not only a great touring car, but also a prestigious one", the 250 GTE was the best-selling Ferrari of its day. In 1964, the 250 GTE was replaced by the Ferrari 330 America, 50 of which were produced, most of them exported across the Atlantic. Strictly speaking, it was the same model, but with displacement increased to 4 liters. In order to increase sales of passenger cars and thus finance its very expensive racing activities, Ferrari decided to develop a car capable of attracting a new clientele, eager to combine the practicality of a "family car" with the sportiness of a GT. Like Maserati and the 3500 GT, Ferrari realized the importance of high-volume cars to the brand's survival. Indeed, Enzo Ferrari's son Piero Ferrari explained that two-seaters "weren't his father's favorite cars to drive. He loved the 2+2 as a personal car. He usually drove the car himself, but he was always accompanied by a chauffeur and his dog, so a 2-seater just wasn't enough". A great deal of work went into adapting the Ferrari 250 to its new vocation. Ferrari developed four prototypes, an exceptionally high number, which covered a distance never before achieved by the company. The 1960 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the occasion to present the new Ferrari 250 GTE, or rather one of its prototypes. Naturally, it appeared not as a participant, but as the race director's car, driven by the 24 Hours director. It was officially presented at the Paris Motor Show in October of the same year. 950 examples were built between 1960 and 1963, the last year of production, making the 250 GTE Ferrari's best-selling model. By 1958, Ferrari had built almost 685 road cars since its creation in 1947. Three series of 250 GTEs, distinguished from each other by a few aesthetic modifications, were actually produced The exterior Surprisingly, the design of the new Ferrari, without departing from that of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, is by the hand of Sergio Pininfarina - and not his father Battista - marking his growing influence within the Pininfarina company. It's well known that he succeeded in retaining the racy look of a GT despite the move to 2+2 dimensions, and the 250 GTE proves to be a marvel of balance. The plunging design of the side windows, in particular, reduces the impression of a sedan induced by the horizontal roofline. 1962 saw a slight revision of the grille and hood design. Sergio Pininfarina, who had been an aerodynamics assistant in the wind tunnel at Turin Polytechnic, also understood the importance of aerodynamics in terms of aeroacoustics, and had each prototype studied in the wind tunnel. As was customary at the time, Carrozzeria Scaglietti was responsible for the bodywork and assembly of the GTE. The GTE's structure is essentially made of steel, with the exception of the doors, hood and trunk lid, which are made of aluminum. The grille, which proudly displays the brand's prancing horse, is usually fitted with additional lights at each corner. Originally positioned on the grille, these lights were moved outside in 1962. In the same year, the chrome rod running across the hood was also replaced by a rectangular air intake. A discreet body crease runs along the fenders, from the front wheel arch to the rear lights. The taillights - three vertically positioned headlamps on either side - are mounted on a chrome plate. To provide four comfortable seats, the cabin is more generous than that of the 250 GT Berlinetta, thanks to an increase of 300 mm in length and 60 mm in width, although the height is reduced by 50 mm. However, the 250 GTE only qualifies as a "2+2" - for two seats in the front and two in the rear - and not as a four-seater in its own right, since the front seats must have sufficient space up to the pedals for the driver's legs, thus penalizing the legroom of rear passengers. The interior of the 250 GTE is luxurious and "extremely" comfortable; for example, the rear seats are separated by a central armrest with an ashtray. Compared to the PF Coupé, the boot volume has been increased to accommodate the luggage of up to four people. The dashboard, meanwhile, is covered in black leather, while the eight instruments, encircled in Veglia chrome, are integrated into a panel generally the same color as the body. Engine The Tipo 128E engine, the latest evolution of the 60°-open V12 "Colombo" with a displacement of 2,953 cm3 (bore/stroke 73 mm × 58.8 mm), is positioned longitudinally forward to allow for a larger passenger compartment. With the engine positioned in front of the front wheel axle, the weight distribution is 55% front and 45% rear; although "handling is excellent", the engine's forward movement tends to accentuate the 250 GTE's understeer. This engine, whose cylinder head is taken from the 250 Testa Rossa, has already proved its worth in competition and on a number of production Ferraris. Thanks to a compression ratio of 9.2:1 and three Weber twin-barrel carburetors, the 250 GTE achieves 240 hp at 7,000 rpm, a very high figure for a 2+2 at the time, despite the extra weight - 80 kg to reach 1,280 kg - compared with the Berlinetta. It also accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just over seven seconds. The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the last of which is overdriven by a Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive. This overdrive reduces engine speed by 22%, thus lowering the fuel consumption of the "greedy" V12 (14 ℓ/100 km). The 250 GTE was also the first Ferrari to be equipped with an air-cooled radiator cooling system. In 1964, the 250 GTE engine was upgraded to a displacement of 3,967 cm3 (bore/stroke 77 mm × 71 mm) - and renamed Tipo 209 - to power the Ferrari 330 America, the only difference between the 330 America and the 250 GTE. The engine now delivers 300 hp at 7,600 rpm. Chassis The wheelbase of the 250 GTE is 2600 mm. The difficulty in adapting a GT, namely the 250 GT Berlinetta, to more "family" use lies in retaining the wheelbase of a coupé - i.e. 2,600 mm, as with the Pinin Farina berlinetta and cabriolet - while offering sufficient space to add two seats. The chassis of the Ferrari 250 GTE has been completely redesigned to allow the engine to be moved forward some twenty centimetres and the two rear seats to be installed in front of the axle; the tracks have also been widened by 60 mm compared to the berlinetta, in order to accommodate the engine. The suspension system received special attention, since a set of telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers - replacing the rod shock absorbers - parallel trailing arms and leaf springs, assisted by coil springs from 1963, was dedicated to it. Ferrari GTE Squadra Mobile A little-known episode in the career of the Ferrari 250 GTE is its time in the hands of the Roman police. In 1962, after several major successes against the city's underworld, the then President of the Italian Republic, Giovanni Gronchi, organized a ceremony in honor of the forces of law and order. During the ceremony, he asked the officers present what reward they wanted, to which one jokingly replied: "a Ferrari". Gronchi took the request very seriously, and Enzo Ferrari, being a shrewd businessman, agreed to donate two Ferrari 250 GTEs to the Roman police (he hoped, beyond the spin-offs in terms of image, to equip other police forces in the country). As soon as they arrived in Rome, one of the cars was involved in a fatal accident, and the wreckage was taken back to Modena and destroyed by the ever-superstitious Enzo Ferrari. The other model was entrusted to an officer named Maresciallo Armando Spatafora. The latter had impressed everyone at the tests held in Modena a few days earlier, being extremely fast, so much so that Il Commendatore himself offered him a bucket seat, which he refused, stipulating "I'm a policeman, I only drive police cars". The car was an integral part of the Roman squadra mobile until 1968, when it was sold at auction to a private individual in 1972. During its 6-year career, it was truly the star of Rome. Legend has it that delinquents occasionally paid Spatafora to chase the Ferrari. While this has never been verified, what is certain is that a significant number of crooks were put behind bars thanks to her driver, to the point of giving rise to a saying in Rome in the 60s: "Advice from the brigands to their followers: if you're out at night, watch out for the panthers (the name of the Roman police's rapid intervention cars), but if you're out until dawn, then watch out for Spatafora behind the wheel". In particular, an encounter with a French bandit nicknamed "Le Marseillais" led to one of the Italian capital's most epic chases, as the latter, hoping to take advantage of his Citroën DS's air suspension, drove down the stairs of the Piazza di Spagna, which didn't scare Spatafora, who followed and eventually apprehended him. The marks of the steps on the Ferrari's chassis are still visible today. This remarkable episode gave rise to the film Poliziotto Sprint Heritage For a very long time, cars were sold without bodywork, and it was then up to the buyer to go to a coachbuilder to "dress" his car. The 250 GTE's high degree of industrialization for its time marks a definitive turning point in Ferrari's history: Ferrari no longer sells just a chassis, leaving its customers with a car body. Our car is a Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 that left the Maranello factory in July 1963. Delivered to the Vari Gioacchino garage in Rome, it featured red bodywork and beige leather interior. The car kept this red color when a complete restoration was undertaken (photo file available). At the time, the car was painted in black with a Cartier interior whose elegance cannot be disputed. Our file shows that the car was owned by Mr Rouer in the mid-1980s. In 2009, it was acquired by Jean Pierre Van Den Doorn, a Parisian collector and dealer, who sold it back to its owner in 2010. Since then, the car has taken part in numerous rallies and trips in the hands of its owner. Regularly maintained in Parisian workshops including Pozzi, the engine was completely rebuilt in 2013 by the Atelier des Sportives. The numerous invoices available in the file attest to a car regularly used and maintained in perfect working order. Today, this Ferrari 250 GT 2+2 boasts a beautiful patina acquired over many kilometers on French roads. It's a pleasure to drive, and a real invitation to travel. 1963 FERRARI 250 GTE Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
