It is often said that a designer’s work is never done, and especially in the automotive world, as car design is often in a constant state of evolution. Only so much can be done to prepare a car for the real world before it hits production, but keeping up with the competition and changing tastes always bring designers back to the drawing board. Although Pininfarina was surely thrilled with their work for Ferrari in designing the 330 GTC, the firm was clearly keen to keep moving in the right direction for their most famous customer. As such, this 330 GTC was purchased by Pininfarina directly from the factory in July of 1966 for their own use. Showcasing their forward thinking attitude, chassis no. 8727 falls exceptionally early in 330 GTC production, the fourth car built out of 600 completed in total. Upon its arrival with Pininfarina at their headquarters in Turin, only a few hours up the road from Maranello, the firm’s designers and craftsman set about their carefully considered work. Externally, the most noticeable change implemented by Pininfarina to chassis no. 8727 was the pop-up fog lights fitted to the nose. Hidden away when not in use, they could easily be rotated into position by a switch inside the car. These “Supervis” (short for super vision) lights appeared on two of the four 330 GTC Speciales, and were originally penned by Aldo Brovarone for the Superfast I concept car and also famously used in the 365 California Spyder. Keen tifosi will also spot that this car lost its trademark 330 GTC fender vents, and instead boasts vents on the hood, which proved far more efficient at dissipating heat from the engine bay. This new feature, one introduced on this very car, also made its way to 365 GTC and 365 GT 2+2 production. Finally the Ferrari badge on the nose was sunk into the bodywork, and the ‘330’ badge on trunk was removed entirely. The interior was reupholstered in light blue cloth, cooler to sit on in Italy’s hot summers, with the color chosen to compliment the car’s existing Blu Scuro paintwork, a shade known to be a favorite of Sergio Pininfarina himself. Cloth upholstery would later become an option on the 330 GTC as a result. The dashboard vents were changed to house two circular outlets on the top of the dashboard, allowing air to be directed wherever driver and passenger desired, a change that would be carried through to the 365 GTC. A new lever was fitted to open and close the quarter windows, along with a different steering wheel and hub, as well as a recessed ashtray in the center console, but these features would not appear in future production Ferraris. A passenger door lock was fitted and subsequently implemented on later 330 GTCs. After remaining with Pininfarina for a year, the 330 GTC was sold in July 1968 to Amerigo Brizzolara, an industrialist based in Milan, and passed through two more owners in its native Italy before being exported to the United States in the late 1970s, where it has remained ever since. Owned in the early 1980s by John Mason of San Francisco, the Ferrari was sold in September 1983 to California resident James Hampton, who in 1987 sold a fifty-percent interest in the car to John Ratto. Together the two men set about researching the unusual 330’s history and embarking on a comprehensive restoration. This would be no easy feat, as by now chassis no. 8727 had lots its unique foglamps and was finished in silver with black leather upholstery. By 1996, the engine and transmission had been rebuilt by Hampton and Ratto, but employment assignments overseas forced them to temporarily halt the refurbishment. Work recommenced in mid-1999 and coachbuilder Steve Moal was employed to assist in rebuilding the nose with new pop-up foglamps, using a 365 California as a template. Pininfarina supplied the original paint code and the car was thus refinished in the original factory colour of Blu Scuro and the interior retrimmed in tan, making for a highly attractive color combination. The car’s restoration was at last completed in 2002. After retaining the car for another six years following the completion of the restoration, the 330 GTC was sold by its owners into a significant collection in 2008. Later, it was featured in the August 2017 issue of Forza magazine in an article written by Maurice Khawam, who extensively detailed the car’s period modifications, showcasing why the car was so special and how it stood out from its brethren. Acquired by the current owner just under three years ago, the car was entrusted to the Ferrari specialists at Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas where it received just over $60,000 in mechanical work over the course of two years, returning it to running and driving condition following a long period of static display in prior ownership. Invoices for this work are available in the history file. Boasting a fascinating history, this 330 GTC Speciale stands proud as one of the most important examples of the model in existence. Renown for being exceptional driver’s cars, this car’s added provenance and spectacular unique design touches would also make it a fantastic concours entrant, ideal for Ferrari Club of America judging and it would surely garner much interest at Cavallino’s events and other concours events around the world.

The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built, and just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Of those 21 cars, chassis number 2175 offered here was completed in its cream hue on 9 August 1956 ahead of being delivered new to Mr Catullo Del Monte of Rome. The Maserati had been exported to the United States come 1958 and, around the late-1980s, was bought by marque enthusiast Joe Alphabet of Los Angeles. He owned another A6G/54, chassis number 2186, and transplanted this car’s twin-cam engine into the sister Zagato body before selling 2175 without a motor. Circa 1989, this example would move from the United States to Italy under the custodianship of the consigning owner. Paired with 2186’s engine, it was submitted for a full restoration. Thanks to the guidance of Maserati historian Walter Bäumer, in 2008 chassis 2175 was reunited with its matching-numbers inline-six, which it retains to this day. The car also presents in its factory-correct cream paintwork over an interior trimmed with black upholstery featuring cream piping and a cream dashboard panel. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs. 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Coupé by Allemano RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1300 is one of the most distinctive models to emerge from the post-war era of Italian automotive design. Built between 1969 and 1972 in a limited production run of approximately 1,100 units, this coupé combines the renowned Alfa Romeo Spider platform with a unique body designed by Zagato – famous for its lightweight construction and aerodynamic styling. The 1290cc four-cylinder engine delivers 89 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. With a kerb weight of around 920 kg, the Junior Zagato offers excellent performance and sharp handling – especially notable for its time. The bodywork, made entirely of steel with an aluminum bonnet, stands out thanks to its sloped nose, recessed headlights, and an innovative glass rear hatch system – revolutionary in both design and function at the time. This model is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Italian sports cars, not only for its rarity but also for its authentic driving experience and unique aesthetic appeal. This particular example first took to the road in Italy in June 1970. In 2009, it was acquired by its first Dutch owner. At that time, the car was fitted with a more powerful 1600cc engine, but the original matching 1300cc engine had been preserved and was included separately. In 2013, the car changed hands again, this time to a well-known Dutch Alfista. He began a careful restoration, taking his time and aiming to preserve as much originality as possible. The body was stripped and repainted, revealing surprisingly solid panels – a rarity for Alfa Romeos of this era. The interior was refurbished, and the gearbox was rebuilt. In 2017, the car was purchased by its most recent owner, a respected collector of classic automobiles. His goal was to reinstall the original matching 1300cc engine, which was still stored separately with the vehicle. Before being refitted, the engine was fully rebuilt. Once all restoration work was completed and the car became part of an impressive private collection, it was only sparingly driven. 1970 Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1300 Veni Vidi Vici Classic Cars BV If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Completed by the factory in May 1957, this 300 SL Roadster was completed in ‘Elfenbein DB608’ (Ivory) over a red leather interior. Options on the build sheet include dials ‘re-written’ in English as this example was dispatched to the Mercedes-Benz in London. Supplied new to it first keeper in 1958, this 300 SL Roadster was the 16th car completed and first owned by Samuel McCrudden Jnr, proprietor of a linen and handkerchief business in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Ownership is documented by a scan of the Buff logbook in the car's accompanying history folio. His ownership was brief and the car moved back to England a year later finding residence in Berkshire with Aspro family member Maurice Nicholas, early developers of Aspirin in the 1900s. Initially their tablet had been called Nicholas' Aspirin; but later the product name was changed to Aspro formed from the last two letters of the name 'Nicholas', and the first three of the word 'Product'. 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. Owning the car for 33 years, well-known classic racer Mr Forsdyke took the car off the road and placed it in storage. With the intention of carrying out a total restoration, the car instead sat for an extended period in storage in a partly dismantled state. Purchased by its current custodian in 2003, a decision was made to bare-metal restore the 300 SL Roadster. Opting for the period correct shade of Anthracite Grey (DB172), the comprehensive restoration was carried out on-and-off for 15 years with Kevin O' Keeffe Restorations at a cost of £320,000. Upon completion, the roadster was wholly covered in bespoke paint protection film. Since restoration the car has covered just 2,900 miles and presents superbly.

Options on the build sheet include dials ‘re-written’ in English as this example was dispatched to the Mercedes-Benz in London. Supplied new to it first keeper in 1958, this 300 SL Roadster was the 16th car completed and first owned by Samuel McCrudden Jnr, proprietor of a linen and handkerchief business in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Ownership is documented by a scan of the Buff logbook in the car's accompanying history folio. His ownership was brief and the car moved back to England a year later finding residence in Berkshire with Aspro family member Maurice Nicholas, early developers of Aspirin in the 1900s. Initially their tablet had been called Nicholas' Aspirin; but later the product name was changed to Aspro formed from the last two letters of the name 'Nicholas', and the first three of the word 'Product'.

BIRTH OF A LEGEND Every great saga opens with a deceptively simple chapter, or as the saying goes, the longest journey begins with but a single step. In the case of the featured lot, that great saga, the metaphorical longest journey, is the production of Ferrari’s longest-running and most celebrated vintage model—the 250 GT. And this remarkable coachbuilt Ferrari is that opening chapter, the initial single step; this Vignale-bodied Ferrari is the very first 250 road car produced. From its 1947 inception, Ferrari overwhelmingly relied on a Gioacchino Colombo-designed V-12 that was successively developed from its original 1.5-liter displacement to 1.9, 2.3, 2.6, and 2.7-liter configurations. In early 1952, the engine was further enlarged with a single-cylinder volume approaching 250 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 2,953-cubic-centimeter engine became the first edition of the famous Colombo short-block 3-liter V-12—a motor that in one form or another remained in production through 1964. This remarkably long development period of 13 years not only cemented an important legacy in Ferrari’s lore, but it guaranteed the 250 engine a degree of reliability that was altogether lacking in less developed and time-tested motors engineered by the competition, a benefit that became apparent during numerous wins in endurance racing events. Unsurprisingly, the earliest 250 engines were utilized in competition cars, starting with the 250 Sport that Giovanni Bracco famously flogged through the rain to win the 1952 Mille Miglia, and most immediately leading to a short run of 250 MM berlinettas and spiders that followed. A year later Ferrari finally installed the 3-liter V-12 in a luxurious grand touring car intended solely for road use: this very important Vignale-bodied Ferrari (0295 EU), in what was essentially the inception of the legendary 250 GT. According to an authoritative feature article in Cavallino magazine by Ferrari historian and Pebble Beach judge Alan C. Boe, and as corroborated by the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 0295 EU, presented here, is the very first 250 Europa built. It is effectively the prototypical example of a 3-liter grand touring Ferrari, and it was one of just two that received the 3-liter Colombo 250 V-12. (Only the first two 250 Europas were equipped as such, the following 20 examples being fitted with a Lampredi-designed engine.) The car is one of just three 250 Europa coupes that were bodied by Vignale. Most importantly, however, this car must be considered a prototypical example of a Ferrari 3-liter Colombo-powered grand touring car, essentially the progenitor of the venerable 250 GT, Ferrari’s most celebrated and successful platform. A one-off, 0295 EU was clothed in one of Giovanni Michelotti’s more intriguing designs, showing a clear influence from the Vignale-bodied 340 Mexicos that ran the Carrera Panamericana, while featuring intricate finishing in the half-chromed fender protuberances, and chrome-molded side scallops painted in a complementary two-tone color scheme. The large eggcrate grille, single arcing belt line, and the high-waisted low-roof architecture combined to result in a muscular brute of a stance, emanating power and style. This 250 Europa was publicly unveiled by Ferrari in October 1953 at the Paris Salon. The coachwork was finished in an arresting shade of Rosso Rubino, with a very dark hue of Amaranto red in the distinctive coves, nearly approaching black. This luxuriously appointed road car represented Maranello’s strongest step yet toward a consistent model line, as the 250 would soon assume full production in the Pinin Farina-bodied 250 Europas and Europa GTs, the segue to the true 250 GT Coupes and Cabriolets that appeared in 1956 and 1957. Ferrari’s first phase of legitimate production automobiles would eventually extend all the way to the 250 GT/L Lusso of the mid-1960s, while offering some of history’s most compelling models along the way, including the dual-use Tour de France Berlinetta and California Spider, and the competition-specified Testa Rossa and GTO race cars. Following its presentation at the 1953 Paris Salon, this fascinating Europa was sold to its first owner, Robert Teakle of Detroit, Michigan. Over the next 18 years, the Ferrari passed through the care of seven additional American owners before being acquired in August 1971 by Gilbert Walton of Danville, California. Mr. Walton went on to retain possession for a remarkable period of 37 years, during which the Europa was mostly stored in preparation for a restoration. Some work began in the mid-1980s, but when Mr. Walton offered the car for sale in 2008, it was still in a partially disassembled state. ITALIAN RENAISSANCE In August 2008 the significant Ferrari was purchased from Walton by Brian Hoyt, the well-known proprietor of Perfect Reflections in Hayward, California, one of the vintage Ferrari niche’s most respected restoration concerns. Aware that he had secured the long-forgotten 1953 Paris Salon show car, Mr. Hoyt commenced an exacting refurbishment that addressed every mechanical and cosmetic consideration. The original Colombo 3-liter V-12 was sent to the highly respected marque specialist Patrick Ottis, who completely rebuilt the important engine, including the installation of new pistons. The running gear and ancillary systems were all rebuilt, and Mr. Hoyt spent many hours studying photos of the car from 1953 in order to optimally replicate the finish and accessory details. The aluminum coachwork was reduced to bare metal and then treated to a deep two-tone finish in Rosso Rubino on the majority of the body, while the side coves were finished in contrasting Nero, and the interior was trimmed in beige leather upholstery. Upon completion of the masterful five-year restoration, the Europa was sold to the consignor, a respected collector of important vintage Ferraris based in Kentucky. In an effort to further improve the car’s historical accuracy, the new owner and Mr. Hoyt took additional efforts to study period evidence. Concluding that the side coves were originally a very dark red, but not quite black, Mr. Hoyt refinished the coves in a thin coat of red paint that returned them to a beautiful deep red hue. The owner wasted no time in exhibiting the magnificent Europa on the show scene, beginning with presentation at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2015, where the car participated in the very competitive Grand Touring Ferrari class. Five months later the 250 was shown at the Cavallino Classic, winning a Platinum Award and the Elegance Cup for the finest coachbuilt Ferrari. In April 2016 the Europa was certified by Ferrari Classiche with a Red Book that demonstrates the continued presence of the numbers-matching chassis, engine, and coachwork. The gearbox and rear differential have been replaced with correct-type components stamped by Ferrari Classiche, further assuring the car is presented with the highest possible level of authenticity. In May 2016 the Ferrari was exhibited at the exclusive Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza at Lake Como, Italy, and a month later it was the featured cover car of Cavallino magazine, in conjunction with Mr. Boe’s well-researched article. In 2017 the Europa was presented at the Arizona Concours d’Elegance, collecting a class award and a special award for the Most Elegant Postwar Car, and at the Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance in Great Britain, where it won an Outstanding Coachwork award during the event’s tribute to 70 Years of Ferrari. The year’s activities were nicely rounded out when the Europa was displayed at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. Additional awards were earned at the 2019 Concours d’Elegance Suisse (Best of Show), the 2019 Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance (Best of Show, Post War), and the 2021 Cavallino Classic Middle East edition at Abu Dhabi (Best of Show and Gran Turismo Cup). The consignor also enjoyed the car in an organized driving event when it participated in the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic staged through the Dolomite Mountains in Italy during September 2022. Ideal for enjoyment on major vintage touring events and rallies, or presentation at world-class concours d’elegance, this outstanding show-awarded Europa is an important cornerstone of the 250 GT legend. It continues to benefit from Mr. Hoyt’s top-notch restoration, and it is desirably documented with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book that certifies the continued presence of the matching-numbers V-12 engine. Bona fide Maranello show cars presented by the manufacturer in period are only seldom offered in public, and this extremely special coachbuilt example would make a crowning acquisition for any connoisseur of significant 1950s Ferraris. For collectors in search of important prototypical examples of legendary post-war models, the availability of 0295 EU presents a unique opportunity for the knowledgeable tifoso. 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Congratulations to all who take their passion to the highest level. La meccanica delle emozioni ! - Alfa Romeo Special cars always stay with you, especially that first encounter. One early morning by the lake in Laveno, Italy, our neighbor started something that simmered, had a screech and came to life with -best of all- blue smoke. The 1750 GTV of the 105 branch in the Alfa family tree. To this day, one of the most beautiful coupes ever made we think. The lines which are nothing too much, but beautiful. No bells and whistles, but the important things accentuated. From the enthusiast for the enthusiast. The handling of the 1750 GTV is also exactly what you expect from a legendary Romeo. Tight on the road, plenty of contact with the asphalt and pushing in the lower back due to the rear-wheel drive. When your "olio" gauge is in the middle, that's where the sound comes in. Because how good it is! Between 5 and 6 thousand rpm it drives best, sounds healthiest and as soon as you release the throttle; just enough afterburner. No DSG crackling of the modern VW Golfs, but real afterburning. You can feel your chest hair growing with every downshift! Ours is finished in the Giallo Ocra, originally delivered in Sweden and fully documented. Fully equipped for a lot more touring and rallying. Last years very well maintained. She is again ready for many smiles a litre. Ci vediamo presto? 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

La meccanica delle emozioni ! - Alfa Romeo Special cars always stay with you, especially that first encounter. One early morning by the lake in Laveno, Italy, our neighbor started something that simmered, had a screech and came to life with -best of all- blue smoke. The 1750 GTV of the 105 branch in the Alfa family tree. To this day, one of the most beautiful coupes ever made we think. The lines which are nothing too much, but beautiful. No bells and whistles, but the important things accentuated. From the enthusiast for the enthusiast. The handling of the 1750 GTV is also exactly what you expect from a legendary Romeo. Tight on the road, plenty of contact with the asphalt and pushing in the lower back due to the rear-wheel drive. When your "olio" gauge is in the middle, that's where the sound comes in. Because how good it is! Between 5 and 6 thousand rpm it drives best, sounds healthiest and as soon as you release the throttle; just enough afterburner. No DSG crackling of the modern VW Golfs, but real afterburning. You can feel your chest hair growing with every downshift! Ours is finished in the Giallo Ocra, originally delivered in Sweden and fully documented. Fully equipped for a lot more touring and rallying. Last years very well maintained. She is again ready for many smiles a litre. Ci vediamo presto?

In 1954, Alfa Romeo gave its popular 1900 platform a sporty twist, creating the Super Sprint Coupé. Carrozzeria Touring was chosen to build the bodywork, comprising a steel structural chassis and aluminium body, while the model boasted an engine with 1,975-cc displacement. When production ceased in 1958, some 599 units of the perennially handsome 1900 Super Sprint Coupé had been made. As detailed in a letter from Alfa Romeo’s Centro Documentazione Storica, dated 1996 (available to view on file), chassis 10232 was manufactured in October 1956, finished in Blue. It was sold to the marque dealership Società per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo in Lugano, Switzerland. Between 1984 and 1996, the car was owned by a P. Jappert of Widen, Switzerland. The subsequent owner was a Dr St. Zierhut from Ohlstadt, Germany, who retained the car until 1999. The Super Sprint was then acquired by a G. Manfred of St Vith, Belgium, who maintained the car with the Dutch garage Charles Poelmans, before it joined The Curated Collection in 2013. Please note it is believed that the engine number has been restamped. A charming example of “the family car that wins races” this 1900 C Super Sprint would be a lovely companion for weekend drives, rallies, or tours—while providing eligibility for landmark events including the Mille Miglia. 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint Coupé by Touring RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

FINE-TUNING A MASTERPIECE Upon its introduction in July 1987, the Ferrari F40 set a new benchmark for styling, engineering, and performance. With the model’s ferocious twin-turbocharged V-8 developing 478 horsepower, the F40 had more than enough output on tap for any self-respecting enthusiast. But being a Ferrari, and one built with a slew of advanced competition-grade components, speculation immediately abounded regarding the model’s potential as a racecar. Enter Daniel Marin, the managing director of France’s longtime Ferrari importer, Charles Pozzi SA. Tantalized by the possibilities, Marin instigated the development of a competition version of the stock F40 that was entrusted to Giuliano Michelotto and his eponymous consulting firm. Michelotto had been instrumental in the success of numerous racecars, including the Group 4-spec Lancia Stratos and various Ferrari 308 versions; not to mention a key contributor to the build programs of Ferrari’s 333 SP, 288 GTO, and GTO Evoluzione, and the mighty F40. Ferrari soon gave its officially sanctioned blessing to this build program, and 19 cars were ultimately prepared by Michelotto as the F40 LM, the name obviously signifying the intent to run Le Mans at some point. Because IMSA and FIA regulations limited weight reduction, the most significant modifications were made to the engine, which featured larger Behr intercoolers, revised camshafts, a modified fuel management system, and an increase in turbo boost, ultimately resulting in a shocking increase to 720 horsepower (a net gain of 242 horsepower). This impressive uptick in power was complemented by numerous chassis considerations, including larger Brembo disc brakes, wider wheels with softer tires, and a lowered ride height. Finally, the bodywork was aerodynamically massaged with a large front spoiler, a revised front hood with much larger cooling vents, underbody venturi, and a huge adjustable rear wing, while the interior was revised with racing harnesses and a competition instrument panel. While these specifications were adopted for cars intended for use in American IMSA events, a second version was simultaneously built to “GTC” specifications for racing in the European FIA-GT series. This version featured an even more powerful engine, with larger air restrictors bringing output up to a whopping 760 horsepower—nearly 300 horsepower more than the original engine configuration. Indisputably, Michelotto had transformed a promising colt into a no-holds-barred thoroughbred. Just 19 examples of the F40 LM were prepared by Michelotto, and with their awesome mechanical enhancements and aerodynamic refinements, they remain among the most collectable and correspondingly valuated premium iterations of the F40. It is worth noting that while later racing iterations of the F40 like the F40 GT and GTE may have been more highly developed in some regards, none of them were as brutally powerful as the F40 LM GTC-spec, which maintains the mantle of being the most powerful version of Maranello’s seminal 40th anniversary supercar. BUILD NUMBER 14—SPECIFIED FOR POWER According to the combined information of factory build sheets, a factory invoice, history reports by both Marcel Massini and Rosso Corsa Consulting, and Ferrari Classiche certification, chassis number 95448 is the 14th example prepared by Michelotto. Built to the more powerful GTC specifications, the LM was further equipped with the highly desirable Lexan plexiglass sliding side windows and finished in the characteristic Rosso Corsa paint over seats trimmed in Stoffa Vigogna (cloth upholstery). Following factory completion in December 1992, the spectacular LM was delivered a few months later to the buyer, the late marque collector Walter Hagmann of St. Moritz, Switzerland, who also owned a 275 GTB/4 and an F50, among other important Prancing Horses. Mr. Hagmann obviously embraced the prodigious competition machine with zeal, as he was involved in a minor crash during a private testing session at the Mugello Circuit in May 1993. Michelotto quickly repaired the limited rear-end damage, and the car was then featured in the July 1993 issue of the Swiss enthusiast magazine Auto Illustrierte. In October 1993 the F40 commenced a long record of event participation with its appearance at the Ferrari Club Italia meet at Mugello, followed by display at the Motor Classic Show in Zurich in February 1998. Hagmann sold the LM to a fellow Swiss enthusiast in 2002, only to buy it back and resell it in 2007 to a financier in Munich who worked for Ferrari Financial Services. This owner enjoyed the remarkable F40 at numerous Shell Ferrari/Maserati Historic Challenge events over the next eight years, including runs at Monza, Italy; Le Vigeant, France; Brno, Czech Republic; and Valencia, Spain. Perhaps most notably, in April 2009 the F40 LM was factory-certified by Ferrari Classiche, authenticating the presence of the matching-numbers engine, transaxle, and coachwork. The physical Red Book no longer accompanies the car, but a digital PDF of the Ferrari Classiche certification pages is on file. The only noted change to the car in the 2009 certification was that the car’s original wheels had been changed to larger, but slightly narrower, OZ magnesium wheels, which remain on the car today. Around this time following certification, the LM reportedly was returned to Michelotto for engine upgrades. In 2014 the Ferrari was again returned to Michelotto for a thorough freshening, and the car’s original build/tuning operation overhauled the engine and gearbox, performed minor coachwork repairs, and refinished the exterior in the correct original color. A year later the highly authentic F40 LM was purchased by an investment developer in Las Vegas, and he kept the car for five years before it was sold to a German dealer, from whom it later passed to an Austrian collector. Under present ownership the F40 LM was shown at the 2025 ModaMiami concours held at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, where it naturally drew the attention of many discerning tifosi, winning the Ferrari: Passion and Performance Collection class award. In preparation for its current offering, the Ferrari has undergone a major service by Rosso Corsa Inc. of Jupiter, Florida, completed in June 2025. This work included the replacement of the fuel bladders, timing and accessory belts, spark plugs, and fuel filters. A new battery was installed, and the wheels were shod with new Michelin Pilot Sport GT Slick S7M tires. Invoices on file reflect this work, which totaled an investment of over $67,000. As one of just 19 Ferrari F40 LMs ever produced, this well-documented example, abounding in exquisite competition-engineered details, would make a sensational addition to any Ferrari-centric garage or racing-themed collection. It offers the next caretaker the pride of field exhibition or the visceral joy of hot laps in one of Maranello’s most powerfully specified modern berlinettas—a true wolf in wolf’s clothing. 1993 Ferrari F40 LM by Michelotto RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A factory Ford Escort WRC with outstanding period provenance, originally driven by rally legends Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen. Built by Ford Motorsport and further developed by M-Sport, this historically significant Escort is eligible for historic rallying and continues to be a popular invitee at major events including Goodwood. Few names in international rallying command the same reverence as Ford, Sainz, Kankkunen and Escort. In 1997, the World Rally Championship entered a new era with the introduction of the World Rally Car formula, replacing the long standing 'Group A' category. The new rules allowed greater technical freedom and marked a significant departure from the more production-based homologation models of the previous decade. It also marked a turning point for Ford, who for the first time did not run the Works cars themselves from the Boreham-based Ford Motorsport. Instead, the running and later the engineering of the cars was handed over to former Ford Works driver, Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport organisation. This car, originally constructed in 1996 by Ford Motorsport at Boreham, was one of the earliest factory Escort WRCs and competed under chassis #4. In 1998, following M-Sport’s takeover of the Works Ford development programme, it was upgraded to their latest chassis and roll cage specification, as confirmed by Gordon Vincent of RV Fabrications (formerly ACS Ltd), who personally carried out the modifications in period. From that point, the car appeared in period records as chassis 4A. However, Vincent has verified that the car retained the same physical shell throughout, bearing shell number MS97WR00001/R01/04/1/97. P6 FMC made its debut at the 1997 Monte Carlo Rally in the hands of Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya, who drove it to second place overall. Throughout that season, it contested multiple rounds of the World Rally Championship, including the Swedish Rally, Rally Portugal, Rallye de France–Tour de Corse and the Acropolis Rally, with a driver line up that also included Juha Kankkunen, Armin Schwarz and Jarmo Kytölehto. Highlights included multiple WRC podium finishes and a third place result on Rally Finland in the hands of Kytölehto. After two years as a Works-entered car, the Escort was campaigned by Ford Turkey during the 1999 and 2000 seasons, competing in Turkish and Greek rallies before being sold to David Robinson, who rallied it in the UK until 2015. A regular invitee to Goodwood (making its debut there in 1997 and appearing countless times over the following three decades), the current owner has used the car sparingly for British events since then, including notable appearances at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and SpeedWeek, where it has been driven by both Stig Blomqvist and Juha Kankkunen. Mechanically, the car benefits from a comprehensive and costly engine rebuild carried out in 2020 using all correct specification parts. It has covered very few miles since, with just two appearances at Goodwood accounting for the current mileage. The Escort remains in unrestricted specification and is described as 'on the button' and ready for competition. Now eligible for historic rallying and wearing its original factory livery, this Escort offers an exceptionally competitive platform within pre-2000 WRC events.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright A factory Ford Escort WRC with outstanding period provenance, originally driven by rally legends Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen. Built by Ford Motorsport and further developed by M-Sport, this historically significant Escort is eligible for historic rallying and continues to be a popular invitee at major events including Goodwood. Few names in international rallying command the same reverence as Ford, Sainz, Kankkunen and Escort. In 1997, the World Rally Championship entered a new era with the introduction of the World Rally Car formula, replacing the long standing 'Group A' category. The new rules allowed greater technical freedom and marked a significant departure from the more production-based homologation models of the previous decade. It also marked a turning point for Ford, who for the first time did not run the Works cars themselves from the Boreham-based Ford Motorsport. Instead, the running and later the engineering of the cars was handed over to former Ford Works driver, Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport organisation. This car, originally constructed in 1996 by Ford Motorsport at Boreham, was one of the earliest factory Escort WRCs and competed under chassis #4. In 1998, following M-Sport’s takeover of the Works Ford development programme, it was upgraded to their latest chassis and roll cage specification, as confirmed by Gordon Vincent of RV Fabrications (formerly ACS Ltd), who personally carried out the modifications in period. From that point, the car appeared in period records as chassis 4A. However, Vincent has verified that the car retained the same physical shell throughout, bearing shell number MS97WR00001/R01/04/1/97. P6 FMC made its debut at the 1997 Monte Carlo Rally in the hands of Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya, who drove it to second place overall. Throughout that season, it contested multiple rounds of the World Rally Championship, including the Swedish Rally, Rally Portugal, Rallye de France–Tour de Corse and the Acropolis Rally, with a driver line up that also included Juha Kankkunen, Armin Schwarz and Jarmo Kytölehto. Highlights included multiple WRC podium finishes and a third place result on Rally Finland in the hands of Kytölehto. After two years as a Works-entered car, the Escort was campaigned by Ford Turkey during the 1999 and 2000 seasons, competing in Turkish and Greek rallies before being sold to David Robinson, who rallied it in the UK until 2015. A regular invitee to Goodwood (making its debut there in 1997 and appearing countless times over the following three decades), the current owner has used the car sparingly for British events since then, including notable appearances at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and SpeedWeek, where it has been driven by both Stig Blomqvist and Juha Kankkunen. Mechanically, the car benefits from a comprehensive and costly engine rebuild carried out in 2020 using all correct specification parts. It has covered very few miles since, with just two appearances at Goodwood accounting for the current mileage. The Escort remains in unrestricted specification and is described as 'on the button' and ready for competition. Now eligible for historic rallying and wearing its original factory livery, this Escort offers an exceptionally competitive platform within pre-2000 WRC events. It is complete with a substantial competition history file including period results, verification of shell identity, engine build details and documentation confirming its factory provenance. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine works Ford Escort WRC with direct links to Sainz, Kankkunen, Blomqvist and the golden era of World Rallying. It remains one of the most significant early examples of the WRC formula and is ideal for collectors, historic competitors or marque specialists seeking an iconic and usable piece of rallying history.

Superbly restored, a very well-presented example of one of Chapman’s earliest designs. The Elite Type 14 was Colin Chapman’s first production sports car that he designed for Lotus Cars, debuting in 1957. Lotus' design philosophy ran contrary to the prevailing norm, making their cars lighter, more aerodynamic and therefore more nimble, rather than increasing horsepower and weight enabling Lotus cars to outmanoeuvre much more powerful vehicles on track. It was very light, weighing just 630kg utilising a monocoque construction which meant there was no separate chassis, the body was load-bearing, and whilst this was becoming accepted practice, the Elite was the first time it had been constructed in glass-fibre. There were only two strips of steel in the car — a strip for the door hinges to attach to and a very small steel frame to which the engine and suspension were attached. When combined with independent sporty suspension, a ZF gearbox, disc brakes, a Coventry Climax all-aluminium engine and a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29, it made for a great drivers car, so much so that by production end in 1963 over 1,000 had been produced. The Elite was very expensive to produce - especially the GRP monocoque which was extremely labour-intensive (the first 280 were built by Maximar then production switched to Bristol Aircraft who built a further 760+ cars). It is estimated that Colin Chapman lost c.£100 on each Elite, so there was a backwards switch to a separate steel backbone chassis for the successor Elan, making it much cheaper to build. Offered here is very special Elite SE, presented in the wonderful period-correct Primrose Yellow with a silver metallic roof, matching Jim Clark’s road car. It's the higher performance, 85bhp factory variant (SE) which initially came fitted with twin SU carburettors, a fabricated exhaust system, the ZF Gearbox and Lucas PL700 headlamps. Purchased new in 1962 by Viscount Gough, it was subject to a complete 'last nut and bolt' restoration by the previous owner, who was meticulous in his attention to detail. In 2005, the bodywork was stripped back to the gel coat, all traces of repairs, stress cracks, and damage were removed and repaired using glass fibre only. The entire car was then re-spayed by Proline Paint, GRP specialists, costing in excess of £8,000, and all the lights were replaced with new-old-stock Lucas items. The interior is finished in black with grey carpet, the seats having been re-trimmed by a local ex-Aston Martin trimmer in black leather and the correct Irvin black seat belts were retained as was the original instrumentation, wood-rim steering wheel and its original Snail Brand tool kit and jack. Mechanically, the engine has been fully re-built up to FWB specification with a capacity of 1,460cc, using new components supplied by the premier Coventry Climax Engines specialist. These include a new-old-stock Coventry Climax crankshaft; Carrillo con-rods; new pistons; alloy five-bearing cam carrier; high-lift camshaft; new water and oil pumps; high-torque starter motor; re-cored radiator; thermostatically controlled Kenlowe electric cooling fan; new cast inlet manifold; and refurbished Weber DCOE 18 carburettors. In addition, the cylinder head has been fully ported, gas-flowed and rebuilt with larger inlet and exhaust valves. Having been fully balanced, it's not subject to the usual vibrations and shudders of an Elite. The engine will now safely rev to 7,000rpm plus, and should develop 120-125bhp. Standard fitment was a 4-speed MG gearbox with the highly sought after ZF all-synchro box offered, as an option on S2 models, but was part of the SE package. One of the drawbacks of the MG transmission was that it was low geared (standard rear axle ratio of 4.22:1 plus a direct fourth gear) meaning that the engine ran at quite high revs when cruising. This led to the development of a 5-speed Type-9 conversion – greatly improving driveability with its 'overdrive' fifth gear. This is all achieved without any modifications to the monocoque - so is completely reversible and vastly improves the driving experience. '905 FWB' is fitted with a Type 9 5-speed gearbox complete with a new clutch cover and drive plate. New bearings and universal joints were fitted throughout, and the 4.22:1 differential fully rebuilt, while the new 60-spoke wire wheels were fitted with period-correct Pirelli Cinturato tyres. In 2014, the suspension was replaced in its entirety by Tolman Motorsport. The original rear wishbones utilised a 'rubber ball' type location at the inboard end which can wear prematurely leading to instability caused by unwanted changes in toe angle. This Elite had the rear wishbones converted to rose joints in place of the 'ball & socket' arrangement, along with the Tolman Motorsport adjustable suspension set-up. Despite being MOT exempt, our vendor put the car through a voluntary MOT which it passed with no advisories, valid until 8th October 2024. Built in very small numbers (circa 1,040), and presenting in fabulous condition, this very well-sorted Elite is a delightful example. Having seen a full restoration with intelligent upgrades, this is certainly a car that Chapman would be proud to bear his name. 1962 Lotus Elite SE Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In this particular case, we offer anyone interested the option of "either/or" – either in brief or in more detail. Why? Because this Carrera 3.0 comes with two thick folders that tell a story like no other. Even in the comprehensive version – let's be clear – we won't be able to describe everything in every detail. A brief introduction to this special model, the Carrera 3.0: It was the link between the homologation model 2.7 RS and the early 930 Turbo. An unsung hero. One of only 479 Carrera 3.0 Targa models built in 1976. And the Carrera 3.0 we're offering here is – very likely – the only one in the world to be first delivered in the special color NATO green. The Short Version First delivered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany Original color: NATO Green (special color, code 99V according to the delivery certificate, and thus presumably the only one delivered from the factory in this color) Current paint: Grand Prix White (repainted in the 1980s) Interior: Original – black leather, perforated seat centers, dark blue carpet Mileage: 190,000 km, fully documented Ownership history: 1976–1984 in Germany, 1984–2006 in US officer ownership, then again in the USA, since 2012 back in Germany Special feature: Original color: NATO Green (repainting possible), complete documentation Note on pricing: based on current condition – return to the original color is left to the buyer. The whole story This 911 was delivered by Glöckler in Frankfurt am Main in 1976 – the first documented owner: a Hamburg advertising agency. Those familiar with the model know that it couldn't be sold directly to the USA because it didn't meet emissions regulations there. In 1984, however, a US Army officer stationed in Ansbach discovered the NATO green Carrera 3.0 for himself. With the mileage at 83,540 km, he bought the car for 23,000 DM, with the original purchase contract, of course. From this moment on, a story unfolds that reads like an archive on wheels: invoices, correspondence, documents – meticulously preserved. In 1985, the car was exported to Texas in the USA, more precisely, to Fort Hood, one of the largest military bases in the USA. Shortly before, the odometer had been converted – from 102,718 km to 63,826 miles. Mister D. and his wife maintain the car with passion and precision, as evidenced by well over 200 pages of paper in the form of invoices, personal correspondence, and notes. Two engine overhauls are documented – one of them in 2004 at 95,873 mls, costing $11,700. Shortly thereafter, the 911 is painted Grand Prix White. While we miss the 'why,' we learn everything and more about the quality of the work and the relationship with the painter over several pages... In 2006, the car changes hands quite suddenly and unexpectedly for the reader engrossed in the files, while Mister M. continues the documentation in the same manner. Again: invoices, notes, carpet samples, stickers. In 2012, German papers appear for the first time again: a TÜV report with no defects, a classic car appraisal, and the re-conversion to the odometer. Since 2013, the Carrera 3.0 has been back in the country – in Grand Prix white, with its original interior. Its condition: well-maintained, documented, and ready to go. The price reflects its current condition – with the option of one day restoring this special vehicle to its only known NATO green version. Some cars are simple, others charming. And then there are those with character. Our Carrera 3.0 Targa belongs to the third category – and is looking for someone to continue its story with it. 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Since 2013, the Carrera 3.0 has been back in the country – in Grand Prix white, with its original interior. Its condition: well-maintained, documented, and ready to go. The price reflects its current condition – with the option of one day restoring this special vehicle to its only known NATO green version. Some cars are simple, others charming. And then there are those with character. Our Carrera 3.0 Targa belongs to the third category – and is looking for someone to continue its story with it.

Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster Series 1 First registration 01.1965 FIVA Identity Card Swiss road registration with veteran entry The swinging sixties were only just beginning to gain momentum when Jaguar made a brilliant design statement at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, the impact of which would go beyond that of an iconic new sports car. Because with its sensually charged shapes and bold proportions – eternally long hood, short rear – the new Jaguar E-Type shaped a new era. The design of the Jaguar E-Type came from Malcolm Sayers – the special appeal lay in the combination of charisma and driving performance. This Jaguar was intended to replace the D-Type used in racing, but was modified for the road after its retirement from motorsport. In terms of performance, the E-Type competed with sports cars in the highest performance class, but these were twice as expensive. This Jaguar E-Type with 4.2-litre is already the advanced version after the 3.8-litre and therefore has the fully synchronized 4-speed gearbox. The visual features of the Series 1 make this E-Type the most desirable collector’s item and its delicate elegance is unfortunately no longer matched by the later models. A few years ago, this E-Type 4.2 OTS was completely dismantled and restored. A detailed photo documentation documents the corresponding work. The car has a FIVA Identity Card, Swiss road registration and is veteran-approved. We are offering this beautiful, sporty and passionate roadster in top-maintained and wonderful collector’s condition. 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
