If we go too far out of our way with the title of our ad, you can be prepared for a first-class automobile. Not just in terms of its performance data, which were extraterrestrial at the time of the presentation and still cause some surprises today. 210kW/286 HP from an engine that has long since achieved fame. The in-line six from BMW's M Motorsport department was a picture-perfect engine at the time, built to match what was possible at the time. Introduced as a pure motorsport engine and tamed for the road in the now priceless M1 coupe, before being ready for series production as an engine in the top model of the 6 and 5 series. Nevertheless, the drive retained all the genes and peripherals from racing, for example individual throttle valves that were unthinkable for series vehicles were used. The top versions with the magical “M” emblem did not always have an exceptional position in the BMW model range. There was a long valley of tears through which virtually all variants had to go. As with many other highly interesting vehicles, many fell by the wayside! They were financially within reach of buyers who were somehow able to buy the car, but would stretch their wings at even the slightest incident due to a lack of mass. Often poorly repaired (if repaired at all), these once great cars were allowed to continue driving for an MOT period or then died during further use. Today, however, we are standing in front of an example that we last saw in this condition around 30 years ago, when these cars were a maximum of 3-5 years old and extremely well maintained. This is exactly how you have to imagine ours. It is completely in its original factory paintwork, now a good 36 years old, never repainted or repainted, it is absolutely rust-free thanks to the fortunate coincidence of having spent the first 30 years of its existence in the salt-free USA. There it was apparently only taken out of the garage at the best of times, to be moved by its sensible, knowledgeable lover until it was passed on to the second owner. In 2014 the car was offered in this immaculate overall condition and found its way back to Europe. Today this legendary Grand Coupé is with us and is presented in exactly the same condition as we try to convey through this description. We will shortly commission an independent expert to inspect and test this vehicle to support our statements. To catch a real “M” in this condition, with this equipment and color combination, is an absolute stroke of luck. The mileage is well supported by the extensive documentation, KD certificates and other documents. Furthermore, it alone means a worry-free, long future without any revision. Likewise, through extensive inspection, new TRX tires, filling and converting the air conditioning, etc., no maintenance backlog can be cleared up. With regular maintenance and ongoing care, you can expect to be able to pursue your hobby at the highest level for decades to come. With driving fun, with the typical BMW joy of driving in “M” mode. To check our information yourself, we offer you the chassis number for your own research: WBAEE310401051581 The master data sheet we have proves the extremely rare combination of assembly ex works as Euro national equipment with full power without catalytic converter and 286 hp, whereas the export-related side indicators were installed ex works. The rest of the equipment leaves nothing to be desired and goes far beyond the already mentioned air conditioning, including the electric sliding/tilting roof as well as the electric. Window regulators, the buffalo leather and the ingenious sports seats and much more. Please feel free to visit us by making an appointment to see for yourself the quality of the car.

There is perhaps no better archetype of a Ferrari model than the 275 GTB/4. As one of the last Prancing Horses manufactured in the vintage era, preceding the wholesale shift to mid-rear engine placement, the GTB/4 was the product of all the lessons learned since the company’s 1947 inception. Like the greatest Ferraris that preceded it, the model was defined as a grand touring berlinetta: a closed-body dual-use GT car that could be driven to the track and raced before being gently driven back home. Introduced in 1964, the original 275 GTB was the first roadgoing Ferrari to be equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, and the first to employ a weight-saving transaxle, which also improved weight distribution. When the GTB/4 iteration arrived two years later, it boasted dual-cam valve actuation for each cylinder bank, making it the first four-cam road car from Maranello’s stable. This prodigy of mechanical performance was clothed in coachwork designed by Pininfarina and built by racing car carrozzeria Scaglietti, featuring a long hood and fastback rear end that were obviously developed from the legendary 250 GTO. The prodigious GTB/4 soon became quite popular with the celebrity jet set, enjoying ownership by such luminaries as Miles Davis, Clint Eastwood, and the King of Cool, himself, Steve McQueen. After a 2014 test drive of the ex-McQueen car, the inimitable Top Gear wrote: “Deep in Ferrari’s DNA is a love of normal aspiration, a chemical and mechanical process best enjoyed across 12 cylinders. The 275’s 300 bhp might seem slightly ‘meh’ by modern standards, but I swear you can feel every single one of them saddling up and charging off. There’s no step or software manipulation here, just a smooth, linear, thrilling sense of flow. “The faster you go, the better it gets.” A 275 GTB/4 IN FRANCE Benefitting from 43 years of care by a handful of French owners, followed by a more recent round of restorative work by one of Italy’s most respected Ferrari specialists, this modestly driven 275 GTB/4 is undoubtedly one of the most striking examples to be encountered. According to the combined research of marque expert Marcel Massini and French motoring historian Marc Rabineau, chassis number 10427 was specified for the French market with instruments in kilometers and yellow headlamp lenses; and finished in Argento paint over a Nero leather interior, including full leather seats. Distributed through the official French importer Franco-Britannic Autos in Paris, the Ferrari was delivered in November 1967 to its first owner, a Parisian gentleman by the name of Chassedieu. Over the next 43 years, the 275 passed through a short chain of four additional French caretakers before being offered in July 2010. The GTB/4 was acquired then by a dedicated collector based in Greece, and he reportedly commissioned a cosmetic refinish in the current livery of midnight blue over cream, with Daniele Turrisi in Bergamo, Italy handling the coachwork restoration, while Tappezzeria Luppi in Modena was entrusted to reupholster the interior. Following this freshening the owner applied for certification by Ferrari Classiche, and in May 2012 a Red Book and corresponding Certificate of Authenticity were issued that confirm the continued presence of the matching-numbers chassis, engine, gearbox, and coachwork. Shortly thereafter the berlinetta was sold to the CEO of a premium Swiss watch manufacturer who undertook further restoration work by Garage Alberto Donati in Corseaux, Switzerland. In October 2013 the Ferrari was acquired by the Dare to Dream Collection. The car has continued to benefit from fastidious upkeep during its 11 years of stewardship, most notably undergoing service to the radiator, a conversion to electronic ignition, and the mounting of new Michelin XWX tires. In 2022 the GTB/4 was taken to Italy for enjoyment on a Ferrari 275 Tour through Tuscany, for which the car was serviced and prepared by the highly respected marque specialist Autofficina Bonini Carlo in Reggio Emilia. It should be noted that chassis number 10427 is a late 275 example that features the quintessential, and most highly-developed configuration—a long-nose, four-cam car equipped with the desirable vibration-free torque-tube drive shaft. Continuing to present beautifully in midnight blue over cream, and accompanied by manuals in their pouch and a reproduction tool roll, this 275 GTB/4 is ideally prepared for further touring enjoyment. Or, it may be presented at Ferrari gatherings and concours d’elegance, offering the most highly distilled essence of Maranello’s great berlinetta tradition. 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The story of this 300 SL puts in on a pedestal above many of its contemporaries. This car was supplied new to close friend of Juan Manuel Fangio; Edouardo Kovacs. The car would find its residence in Valparaiso, Chile with Kovacs ahead of their competition in the 1956 Buenos Aires 1000 km. Ordered new in DB166 Blue-Grey over special-order Steel Blue leather, this example would see Rudge ‘knock-off’ wheels in anticipation of competition.

Just five spare tyres would make the steam ship accompanying the car, with the engine retained by Mercedes until required. In order to make the start of race, Kovacs and his co-driver Raul ‘Papin’ Jaras Fleischmann would make the journey over the Andes by (mostly dirt) roads, in the very same 300 SL. The 1,700 km journey would see the duo reach heights of 3,200 metres, as high as any ski run in Europe. The race itself was significant, the season opener of the 1956 Worlds Sportscar Championship. Ferrari and Maserati were there in force, running the latest and fastest sports racers at the hands of the very best drivers. Maserati brought with them both the 300S and 150S and there was an abundance of Cavallinos present too; the 860 Monza, 857S, 500 Mondial, 225S and 410 Sport. Moss paired with Menditéguy, Gendebien with Hill, Froilan Gonzalez with Behra. Fangio, Castellotti, Musso, Collins were also on the grid. With the withdrawal of Mercedes from all competition following the Le Mans tragedy the previous year; Fangio had persuaded Kovacs to enter his car so they could compete wheel to wheel in South America. Kovacs agreed and Mercedes flew a technical crew with parts to support. The team asked if they could fit their latest sports exhaust, but as reported in the Motorsport Magazine at the time, Mr Kovacs declined, stating that he would then not be able to hear the radio! At the end of the thousand kilometres, the Maserati 300S of Moss and Menditéguy took the chequered flag from the Ferrari 857S of Hill and Gendebien, in 6th place was the Gullwing of Kovacs and co-driver Raul Jaras, one lap ahead of the race favourite and close friend Juan Manuel Fangio in the Scuderia Ferrari 410 Sport with co-driver Castellotti. The result for the 300 SL was also the highest placing non-factory entered car. In placing 6th, Edoardo Kovacs secured the first and only point for Mercedes Benz in the 1956 Sports Car championship. This feat would be acknowledged by handwritten letter and personal gift from Alfred Neubauer, the Director of Sport at Daimler-Benz. This letter remains with the car to this day. Beyond his endeavour in Buenos Aires, Kovacs would retain the car for 24 years. 1955 Supplied new to Edouardo Kovacs-Jones 1956 Buenos Aires 1000KM 1958 Campo de Marte Ciudad de Luna 1959 Gran Prix International Ciudad de Lima 1960 Playa Ancha Road Circuit 1964 Barrancas Circuit 1964 Gran Prix Ciudad de Limache 1964 Santiago Arica Grand Prix – El Morro In 1957 Kovacs won the “Gran Premio Tres Provincias” in central Chile in that same car. In 1959 Mr. Kovacs took the Gullwing to Perú, and won the “Gran Premio Internacional de Lima”, the most important grand prix in Peru. In 1964, with the MB he was the winner of a local race in Limache, Santiago, and obtained a second place in a circuit in Valparaiso. At the end of the year, during an international race in the city of Arica, in the northern border of Chile, he was running in first place the car left the road, fortunately he and his young son, who would become a famous driver and champion were not hurt. The car was damaged, so Kovacs decided to send the car back to Germany, to have the car repaired by Mercedes Benz at the factory. It is understood that Mercedes optioned to fit the spare engine to the car at this time. The car had competed for the last time and once the car returned to Chile, it would be used by Kovacs only as a road car for the next 18 years. In 1979 the 300 SL would find custodianship with its next keeper, John Crawford Jeffords III of Arizona after transport by Delta steamship ‘Santa Mariana’ to Los Angeles. Crawford would have the car restored and would retain the car until 1998. Residing within a prominent German collection for two further decades, the 300 SL would see maintenance works carried out by marque specialists H.K. Engineering in 2011. Imported into the UK by a serial 300 SL collector, the car would later receive works by Martin Cushway Engineering. Sold by DK Engineering to its current custodian in 2022, this example has since seen sparing use on UK roads. 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' D.K.

Unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, the Maserati Ghibli instantly captivated the automotive world with its striking design and formidable performance. Beneath its sculpted hood a powerful 4.7-liter dry-sump V-8 engine produced an impressive 310 horsepower. The car's stunning coachwork, masterminded by the visionary Giorgetto Giugiaro and crafted by Ghia, featured a dynamic, low-slung coupe silhouette, highlighted by sleek pop-up headlamps, a sharply raked windshield, and a sweeping fastback. The Ghibli quickly became a symbol of exclusivity and sophistication, adored by the world's most glamorous figures. Celebrities from basketball icon Wilt Chamberlain to comedian Peter Sellers, and even Rat Pack legends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., all gravitated toward this automotive masterpiece, cementing it as a must-have for the international jet set. As with any popular sporty coupe, customers eventually demanded an open-top version, and Maserati answered with a spyder that debuted on Ghia’s stand at the 1968 Turin Motor Show. With the roof removed, the coachwork took on a totally different character, emphasizing the flowing beltlines and luxurious dimensions. The prototype proved to be the first of only 128 examples built, ensuring a degree of rarity that further solidified the model’s cachet with collectors. At the conclusion of Ghibli production, 83 examples of the 4.7-liter spyder had been built, according to Maserati Classiche. Of those, just 25 were crafted as left-hand-drive, European-specification models equipped with a manual gearbox, placing the featured lot in exceedingly exclusive company. According to Maserati Classiche records, chassis number 1079 was completed in February 1970, equipped with a 4.7-liter engine and manual gearbox, and finished in Giallo with a Nero leather interior. Destined to start life in its native country, 1079 was delivered new to Rome where it was reportedly first sold to an airline pilot before being exported to the United States in the mid-1970s. The car then made its way to Ontario, Canada where it is said to have been treated to a comprehensive, multi-year restoration, which included the installation of exceptionally attractive Borrani wire wheels. Following its refurbishment, the car returned to Italy where it has since remained a jewel in the crown of several esteemed European collections. Now presented in factory-correct Giallo over Nero livery, chassis 1079 is notably equipped with a Blaupunkt stereo, air conditioning, and power steering. Importantly, it also retains its numbers-matching 4.7-liter engine and gearbox, as confirmed by an accompanying Maserati Classiche Certificate of Authenticity and book issued in May of 2024. Hugely desirable when new and having remained in fashion ever since, this breathtaking Maserati Ghibli Spyder will make an outstanding complement to collections the world over, certain to tug at the heartstrings of any enthusiast of notable Italian sports cars. 1970 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Spyder by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In everyday life we ​​often find that we should recalibrate our quality standards. Especially with vehicles from the 70s, 80s and 90s we are becoming more and more picky and looking for the famous "fly in the ointment". Unfortunately, we are increasingly reaching limits that either the manufacturer in question never reached when assembling the new car, or that the conscientious restorer could not improve despite all his care. This applies to both normal bread-and-butter cars that were never made to meet high standards, but also to luxury brands such as Ferrari, which, due to their intended future use, were notoriously never able to achieve the stoic suitability of a Porsche, BMW or other rivals. When, for example, have you seen a bright red Ferrari with winter tires and skis on the roof - driven boldly - driving up a snowy pass in the Dolomites? Or in a traffic jam during rush hour in the autumn rain? In the vast majority of cases, these thoroughbred Italian sports cars were driven under the very best conditions from the very first kilometer, never on salt roads in winter, never in the stress of everyday life. Most of the time, all inspections were carried out on time, because even in the regulars' table, it was becoming more and more common to hear that, for example, a neglected timing belt could result in a horrendously expensive engine overhaul that would hit any wallet hard. However, since practically all Ferraris from these years had a remarkable market development, these striking representatives of what is probably the world's most famous sports car manufacturer are more often stroked than driven. This may protect them visually, but from a technical point of view, these precious cars are often not doing themselves any favors. In addition to the regular exercise of such hot-blooded cars, regular maintenance is also important so that these automobiles convey to us all what makes them special - tamed racing cars with precision mechanics that are as fascinating as they are delicate, revving multi-cylinder high-performance engines, open gearshifts with gears that click into place like a signal box... You all know what I mean. Ferrari is pure fascination and a purely emotional, irrational matter of the heart. The global fan community is therefore committed to it, cheers for their brand at every Formula 1 race and celebrates every new model that is introduced accordingly. Enough chatting, now to our red, 8-cylinder highlight with a tiny 2000 cc displacement. Maybe we should start with this: Despite - or perhaps because of - the exceptionally well-preserved condition, an incredible € 57,000.00 was invested in this example over the last 11 years so that it would not be exposed when assessed by classicData specialists: result grade 1-, market value € 125,000. The reader should not draw hasty, completely wrong conclusions from this. This is by no means a particularly trouble-prone Monday car, but rather the case of 2 previous owners who wanted to turn one of the best-preserved examples of the 208 GTS turbo into probably the best one available. In our view, they succeeded, even if we don't know all of them on the market. What we can do, however, is to get a precise picture of the vehicle in front of us: the more we deal with this complex sports car, the more we realize that there is simply nothing left to improve on this Ferrari. After all, despite its extremely low total mileage, this vehicle is fast approaching 40 years of age. People tend to use the mileage of such a car as a key parameter of its current condition. In our view, however, the time factor is the far more important point. All of the components that make up such a vehicle are not designed and developed to last for decades. For example, every seal, regardless of material and quality, ages, becomes brittle, hard and therefore leaks. It doesn't matter whether it got old while standing or driving during this aging process. It just gets old... and the same goes for joints, cable sheaths, switches and many other components. Every car manufacturer wants to sell cars, both today and in many decades to come, which is why they build solid (not to be confused with immortal!) cars in the best case scenario, which age over the course of their use and will therefore be replaced at some point. So if a Ferrari is almost 40 years old in front of us, it has basically already had 2-3 car lives behind it. Accordingly, the expectations and demands should be placed on the original abilities - an older gentleman should no longer be forced to perform at his best... 1986 Ferrari 208 GTS Turbo Intercooler DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Especially with vehicles from the 70s, 80s and 90s we are becoming more and more picky and looking for the famous "fly in the ointment". Unfortunately, we are increasingly reaching limits that either the manufacturer in question never reached when assembling the new car, or that the conscientious restorer could not improve despite all his care. This applies to both normal bread-and-butter cars that were never made to meet high standards, but also to luxury brands such as Ferrari, which, due to their intended future use, were notoriously never able to achieve the stoic suitability of a Porsche, BMW or other rivals.

Constructed as the 148th example of only 200 250 GT Series II Cabriolets built, chassis number 2943 GT was completed in October of 1961 and destined for Ferrari’s home market of Italy. It was originally finished in Rosso Maio (MM 12441) over a Nero interior in Vinyl and Connolly leather. According to records provided by marque historian Marcel Massini, the car was sold new to a company registered in Bergamo via M. Gastone Crepaldi Automobili, the official Ferrari dealership in Milan. Initially registered in Bergamo and later re-registered in Milan by a subsequent owner, the car was later exported from Italy to Germany when it was purchased by Prince Joachim Zu Fürstenberg, who resided at Castle Donaueschingen, located in the Baden-Württemberg state of Germany. In 1973, the Series II Cabriolet was sold via the Düsseldorf-based Ferrari importer Auto-Becker to Ola J. Borge of Norway. Upon arriving in Norway, the Ferrari was very much treated as Borge’s prized possession and only driven on special occasions. It would remain in the Borge family for the following forty years, accumulating less than 1,200 km per year on average over that time. In 2013, the car was sold to Matt LeBreton who lived on England’s south coast, and it was exported to the UK. Finished in dark green over a black interior at his time of purchase, at the time it was said that the car had been well looked after but had not been run for at least four years. Upon his purchase, LeBreton decided that the car would be fully restored and commissioned the Ferrari specialists at Barkaways in Tonbridge, UK to perform the restoration. He chose a charming burgundy over tan colour scheme, a perfect match for the model’s sophisticated character. Following the completion of the restoration, the car was shown at Salon Privé in 2015 where it won its class, attesting to the quality of the restoration. After being featured in the magazine Auto Italia in their issue #255, published in May 2017, the car was granted Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original chassis, engine, gearbox, and bodywork. Acquired by the current owner approximately five years ago, the car returned home to Italy where it resides today. With the current owner, chassis no. 2943 GT has been well looked after and preserved since his purchase. Most notably, it was used in the Driver’s Parade of the 2023 Italian Grand Prix, chauffeuring Ferrari’s own Charles Leclerc around the circuit for fans to catch a glimpse of their favourite driver at Ferrari’s home race. Importantly, the car is accompanied by its original factory hardtop, painted to match the bodywork, as well as its history file, Classiche binder, and a tool kit. Presented in fantastic condition throughout, this 250 GT Cabriolet Series II needs nothing thanks to its top-notch restoration and exceptional upkeep by its current custodian. A fantastic Ferrari that would be an ideal entrant for concours events or driven as its manufacturers intended, a plethora of exciting opportunities awaits the next owner of this spectacular car. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series II Pinin Farina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

At the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz introduced a convertible version of their celebrated 300 SL "Gullwing” Coupe. The new 300 SL Roadster was, above all, a more refined car than its older sibling, and its premiere foreshadowed the increasing focus which the manufacturer would place on luxury cars over the follwing decades. There was no denying the 300 SL's mechanical performance, which had decidedly improved in the Roadster; the updated six-cylinder engine received the competition camshaft used in the NSL racing coupes, good for a lift of 20 horsepower. Handling also benefited from a revised rear suspension with a lower axle pivot-point, minimizing the tendency for oversteer. Despite the added weight of chassis reinforcement required by an open model, the roadster was every bit the performance car that the Gullwing had proven itself to be. The roadster's overwhelmingly luxurious character, however, generally obscured its performance capabilities. With a convertible soft top, the model was never subject to the uncomfortably hot cabin issues that bedeviled the Gullwing, and the roadster's redesigned tube frame afforded lower door sills, facilitating a far more dignified ingress and egress than its winged predecessor. In 1961, Mercedes-Benz further improved upon their masterpiece with the implementation of standard four-wheel disc brakes, vastly improving the 300 SL Roadster’s stopping capabilities and bringing the model in line with its contemporary high-performance rivals. The following year, an aluminum alloy engine block further enhanced performance in offsetting some of the weight gain necessitated by the Roadster’s open design. Just over 200 Roadsters were reportedly factory-equipped with both disc brakes and alloy engine blocks, making these cars the apex of 300 SL development and rightly coveted by enthusiasts today. As documented by a copy of its factory data card, this disc brake, alloy-block Roadster was completed 30 August 1962 finished in Fire Red (DB 534) over a black leather interior and destined for sale to the United States. After arriving in America, the car is believed to have enjoyed only a handful of private owners through 1974, when it was acquired by Gull Wing Group member Pedro Garcia of Georgia, who then cherished it for the better part of the next four decades. A wonderful history file dating from his acquisition in 1974 testifies to the fastidious care, and sparing use, the car experienced during Garcia’s ownership. Of particular note is a March 1983 invoice from Gullwing Service Company, Inc. of Topsfield, Massachusetts. Upon bringing the car in for engine service, the mechanics were so taken with the car’s level of preservation that they photographed various areas of originality for future reference. After parting with Garcia in 2011, the car passed to the esteemed 300 SL specialists at HK Engineering of Polling, Germany who were equally impressed with the car’s presentation, reportedly describing it as among “the most original they had ever seen.” HK Engineering then sold the car to respected enthusiast and former TAG Heuer chairman, Jean-Claude Biver. Following Monsieur Biver, the car passed through a series of caretakers including one who, in 2017, commissioned a full engine rebuild by Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Stuttgart, Germany. Returning to the United States in 2020, the Roadster underwent a full inspection and mechanical review by the eight-time Pebble Beach winning firm, RM Auto Restoration of Chatham, Ontario, which found the car to run and drive excellently. RM further confirmed all stamped components to be the numbers-matching units per copies of the factory data card. These include the numbers-matching chassis, body, engine, gearbox, rear axle, steering box, and both front axles. Following RM’s inspection, the car was entrusted to the world renowned 300 SL gurus at Coachwerks Restoration of Victoria, British Columbia, for what would become a multi-year, bare-metal refinishing. Here the Roadster continued to impress. Upon stripping the car to bare metal, the artisans at Coachwerks found its body to be among the finest they had ever seen, requiring minimal preparation and retaining its factory metalwork. In place of its original Fire Red, the car was refinished in a striking triple-black livery featuring a new black soft top and an all-new black leather interior replete with an imposing black steering wheel. Great care was taken in assembling the car to factory standards with notable work including all new transmission seals, a new clutch, and annual engine service, along with a concours-level detailing of the undercarriage, motor, and engine bay. Accompanying invoices, totaling over $250,000, testify to the quality of care this car has received over the past year. In addition to a copy of its data card, period service invoices, and Coachwerks Restoration invoices, an assortment of 300 SL Roadster ownership manuals complete the sale. Hailed as one of the greatest open sportscars of all time, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster stands as a testament to one of motoring’s most glamorous periods. Boasting wonderful performance and reliable enough to be enjoyed daily, the 300 SL Roadster is an enthusiast favorite for vintage rallies, long-distance touring, or even regular use at one’s summer home. With a well-restored example being a requisite of any serious collection, this handsome Roadster, highly documented and wearing an ultimate color combination, is certain to impress its next curator. 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Few cars scream 1970s sex appeal like the Ferrari 246 Dino GT, a model conceived to inject some welcomed sporting youth into a 12-cylinder range which very much appealed to the marque’s older clientele. How beautiful is that sultry soap-bar body? It could only be the work of Pininfarina, which, in the face of the angular geometric aesthetic trends of the time, still managed to make it look fresh and contemporary. Arguably the best thing about the Dino is that it’s every bit as good to drive as it is to look at – something that certainly can’t be said of every late-1960s/early-1970s sports car. Chassis no. 06096 Every now and then, the cars we encounter , whether that’s because of their condition, their history or their specification. This right-hand-drive 1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GT is one such example. Allow us to explain. Finished in Argento Auteuil (106.E.1) over a Red (VM 3171) full leather interior and with optional electric windows, this final-development E-series 246 Dino GT – chassis number 06096 – was ordered on 30 November 1972 via Maranello Concessionaires, which subsequently sold the Dino to Dick Lovett in Swindon. Chassis number 06096 was acquired by the first of its mere three owners, a Manchester-based metal magnate by the name of Robert Cooper, in May of 1973. Despite Cooper only keeping it for six months and covering a mere 1,270 miles, he did return the car to Lovett for its two scheduled complimentary services, as shown in the original Dino Warranty Card. On 13 October 1973, Cooper sold this Dino to William John Charles Ford, a prominent British collector of motorcycles and, as it turns out, an incredibly diligent owner. Not only did he painstakingly log every single journey he completed over the course of his 17-year ownership, but also when he charged the battery and routinely ran the engine up. These original logs, the latter of which was scrawled on both sides of a Graypaul Ferrari business card, can be found in the accompanying history file, which also – unsurprisingly – includes maintenance invoices and MOT certificates. By the time he parted with chassis number 06096, Ford had added only 4,283 miles to the overall total. To say he cherished his Dino would be a serious understatement. This 246 GT’s third and final owner – a prominent UK-based Ferrari collector who counts, among many others, a 250 GTO in his stable – assumed custody of 06096 in October of 1990. And in the 33 years that followed, the car has travelled less than 300 miles, spending the majority of its time carefully stored at The Light Car Company in Faringdon. Unsurprisingly, this sheltered life has, today, resulted in a Dino that beguiles with its originality. This is no ‘barn find’ – the metallic-silver bodywork has aged beautifully, in generally excellent condition and showing only a handful of small stone chips around the nose and the expected signs of gentle patination. The windows are all original, showing the correct hallmarks in the correct locations. Inside, the leather hide has aged incredibly well. The headlining is taught and not sagging at all, and because it’s spent almost its entire life indoors, the original mouse-hair dash has not faded. Parts of the interior such as the forward transmission tunnel and the driver’s side sill are actually still covered in their factory plastic protective wrapping. The 8-track stereo remains functional and in the glovebox you’ll find the manual contingency winder for the otherwise electric windows. These are incredibly rare. Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom. We shouldn’t be surprised with the condition. This Dino has only covered 5,850 miles and has always been carefully stored and maintained. It should go without saying that chassis 06096 retains all its accompanying factory paraphernalia: its tool roll, jack (complete with leather pouch), and leather books pouch, containing the warranty card, service book, owner’s manual and spare-parts catalogue. The latter documents are all in excellent condition – a credit to the car’s former keepers. “Peer behind the steering wheel at the column and you’ll even find the sealed customs tag from when the car was originally imported to the United Kingdom.” Finding 1970s Ferraris in such condition and with such provenance today is an increasingly rare occurrence, which goes some way to explain why we’re so excited by this Dino. Chassis 06096 is certainly a car that needs to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GT Girardo & Co.

It takes but a tickle on the firmly sprung throttle pedal for the initial awkwardness of the driving position and any accompanying anxiety to subside. The throttle bodies and insatiably thirsty carburettors of the 3.9-litre V12 are, quite literally, inches from your ear canals. And as you press the throttle towards its stop, gazing as the needles on the two large dials directly ahead rise towards their 8,000rpm redline, corresponding with instant response, the powerful aural symphony edges towards its crescendo. A gloriously hard cacophony floods the small yet airy cabin and the Miura surges forward with unrelenting urgency and speed. The Miura is a scarcely believable 225kg lighter than a Ferrari 330 GTS. And it tells. Driving a Miura is a life-affirming experience. All the while you’re acutely aware of how outrageously virile and desperately beautiful it is to look at – the fact you’re driving a waist-height spaceship that’s about as conspicuous a car as it’s possible to find. But from behind the wheel and at normal road speed, it’s far friendlier and more relaxing than you’d imagine. You sit slightly higher than you’d expect, which offers a great view out ahead over the low, short nose. While requiring decisive inputs, the pedals and gearchange feel positive and modern by late-1960s standards. The ride is firm enough to inspire confidence yet supple enough for long journeys. And it doesn’t feel worryingly wide on all but the narrowest of country lanes. “All the while you’re acutely aware of how outrageously virile and desperately beautiful it is to look at – the fact you’re driving a waist-height spaceship.” The legacy of the Miura is difficult to downplay. Famously held as the first ‘supercar’, it truly broke the mould, which is of little surprise given the heavy-hitting roll-call of engineers who designed it behind Ferruccio Lamborghini’s back: Dallara, Stanzani, Wallace, Gandini, etcetera. The P400 S Distinguishable from the original P400 most obviously by the chrome glass and headlamp surrounds, the Miura P400 S (S for Spinto, or ‘tuned’ in English) was introduced in 1968 and brought in a raft of small mechanical and aesthetic upgrades. Take the new Koni shock absorbers, the electric windows and the (optional) factory air-conditioning system, for example. Our favourite feature on the P400 S, however? It’s got to be the new full-length overhead bank of switches – fighter-jet style. Lamborghini style! Santa’Agata built just 338 Miura LP400 Ss and today they’re considered the sweet spot between the original LP400 and the more hardcore SV model which followed. Chassis number 3799 The Miura S we’re offering was issued with its Certificate of Origin on 15 November 1968 and was one of a mere 46 examples delivered to the Torinese concessionaire Lamborauto, situated a stone’s throw from the Bertone plant, where the Lamborghinis’ sculptural bodies were designed. The fifth of 338 Miura Ss built, chassis number 3799 was originally finished in the striking colour combination of Verde Miura over a Senape (that’s mustard in the Queen’s) faux leather and cloth interior. A man by the name of Piero Quadro acquired the car on 2 January 1968, paying the princely sum of 7.7m Italian lire for the pleasure. We can think of worse ways to quash the January blues than with a brand new Lamborghini! Chassis number 3799 captured at the Turin Aero Club shortly after delivery to its first owner There are some fabulous photos of this Miura at the Turin Aero Club captured shortly after it was delivered. Presumably Quadro was a keen pilot and wanted to exhibit his new land-based pride and joy alongside his Cessna. Chassis 3799 remained in Italy for seven years, before it was acquired by Rosmarie Rosser in Schoenbuehl and re-registered in Switzerland. Almost a decade later, in 1984, this Lamborghini was registered in France. This Miura would arrive at its final destination thus far, the United Kingdom, in 2001, when it was bought by one of the most influential industrial designers of his generation. Said designer entrusted GTC Engineering in Buckingham with a comprehensive restoration. At this point, the interior was retrimmed in blue and the car was registered in the UK with the number ‘XBY 375F’ (which it retains to this day). It’s important to note that chassis number 3799 is currently fitted with a period-correct Miura engine which can be traced to a late-production P400, which left Sant’Agata just a few months before this car. Chassis 3799 remained with its first UK-based custodian for 17 years, during which time it was treasured and enjoyed as part of a collection of truly distinguished taste. In 2018, the Lamborghini changed hands, the new UK owner having the car featured in a dedicated feature in Petrolicious – then a publication of dizzying popularity. You can click here to read the story. “The decision was taken to have the interior retrimmed in its original factory-specification Senape leather and cloth – a transformation that has given back this Miura so much of its period charm.” This Miura was acquired by its penultimate owner in 2021 and promptly sent to a specialist near London for a thorough inspection and a number of remedial tasks including the fitment of 12 new spark plugs, cleaning of the rotor arms and posts, balancing of the carburettors and adjustment of the mixtures. More recently, in early 2023, a further mechanical inspection was conducted by the same specialist, at which point the engine oil was replaced and protective cavity wax was applied to the concealed areas of the Miura’s underside. Here at Girardo & Co. we had the pleasure of offering this Miura for the first time in 2023, when we were able to find the car a fantastic new home in the Middle East. It’s important to note that the car was only temporarily imported to Saudi Arabia and retains its full UK road registration. Satisfyingly, the collector who acquired chassis number 3799 took the decision to have the interior retrimmed in its original factory-specification Senape leather and cloth – a transformation that has given back this Miura so much of its period charm. Squint in the right hazy sunshine here at Belchers Farm and you really could be looking at the car in situ at the Turin Aero Club back in 1972. Suffice to say, from a mechanical point of view, this Miura is in rude health, having had £6,000 spent on it for remedial works in January of this year. Both Max Girardo and Marcus Willis commented about how well-sorted chassis 3799 feels from behind the wheel – both specialists with plenty of Miura experience under their belts. It’s a car which has benefitted from regular use and careful maintenance. And it’s a car whose next owner should not hesitate to use and enjoy – as Ferruccio Lamborghini intended when he set out to build a more refined and useable car than his foe Enzo Ferrari in Maranello. 1968 Lamborghini Miura LP400 S Girardo & Co.
