1965 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage. C registration finished in Fiesta red with black leather interior. LBH 8C carry’s the chassis number DB6/2353/R which was Aston Martins first ever DB6 Vantage and in fact their factory demonstrator. Fiesta red with black leather is how it left the factory on the 8th September 1965, it was not only the first ever production Vantage but also only the third DB6 off the production line. Used for demonstration purposes and for the press articles up until April 1967 where the engine was replaced at the factory after it had done 17000 miles, it then went to its first private owner A Mr G O Lambert of Burnley with the first registered owner having been Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. After 34 years in storage the most famous DB6 came up for auction in May 2014, on the advice of Aston Service Dorset it was acquired by the new owner and a full ground up restoration was started to return this car to the condition it left the factory in. More than £300,000 was spent on the restoration. The result is breath taking, not only is this DB6 the rarest of all DB6’S but it is without doubt the best one in existence today. The history file includes originals of the following magazines that tested this car back in period and later on in it's life: Motor magazine in January 1966, Autocar magazine in February 1966, and the front cover of Collectors car magazine back in 1981 and Sporting Cars magazine in 1984. The original buff log book and even the pouch that came in, receipts for every penny of expenditure throughout the restoration, photographs of the work done. Original DB6 instruction book, factory build sheets and lots more are included in the file. Below is a paragraph from Autocars original test: ‘Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the Aston Martin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Today the aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well as the ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so many great sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least in the hand built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously, such a car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.’ – Autocar, 1966 LBH 8C is a significant piece of Aston Martin History and would be worthy a place in any top Aston Martin collection in the world. It really is a blessing that this car was discovered after lying dormant for over three decades and then restored to it's former glory by a company who would of supplied parts for these cars from when they were new, so who better to know the correct way to bring this car back to life. A truly stunning car that we welcome any inspection on. 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Classic Connection If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The sporting DB4 served Aston Martin magnificently across its five series but in 1963, the time came to introduce the revised DB5. Regarded by many as the marque’s finest Italianate-era entry, once again the model made use of Touring of Milan’s lightweight tubular Superleggera construction method that supported alloy body panels. Underneath the beautiful skin, the famed straight-six designed by Tadek Marek grew from 3,670 cc up to 4 litres to produce a healthy 282 brake horsepower. To enjoy the driving experience even more, between 1963 and 1965, the Newport Pagnell factory built 123 DB5 Convertibles. With 39 of those configured for use abroad, a mere 84 were completed in right-hand-drive form suited for British roads. Such an intoxicating recipe found favour with the great and the good. A broad spectrum of past and present famous owners of the rare DB5 Convertible reportedly included Peter Sellers, Princess Magaret, Prince Michael of Kent, Elle Macpherson, Ralph Lauren, and, perhaps less surprisingly, former Aston Martin boss Sir David Brown. According to the accompanying copy of the Vehicle Heritage Certificate issued in April 2013 by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, chassis number DB5C/1509/R offered here was delivered on 10 July 1964 to a dealership in Brooklands. This right-hand-drive car was configured in Platinum to complement a Black soft-top roof and an interior trimmed with Black Connolly leather. Originally, a 4-litre straight-six was paired with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. The first owner is listed as Clearmount Limited of New Bond Street, London. From November 1987, the DB5 Convertible was owned by Mr Philip Barton-Wright from Grays in Essex. He kept the car for almost 13 years before it was acquired by the Germany-based consignor. However, before taking delivery of chassis number DB5C/1509/R in late-1999, he tasked The Aston Workshop of Beamish in County Durham with a major overhaul. Most notably, after the bodyshell was acid-treated, the car was changed to its current metallic Silver Birch hue. In addition, the dashboard was restored, a new black mohair roof and wire wheels were fitted, the gearbox and rear axle rebuilt, the carburettors refreshed, and uprated anti-roll bars equipped as part of work totalling £48,000 (invoice available to view on file). Since completion, the DB5 Convertible has formed part of the seller’s pre- and post-war Aston Martin collection. In 2008, the DB5 did return to the United Kingdom ahead of an extensive rebuild of the replacement engine. Aston Engineering of Derby was tasked with the overhaul, which notably included boring out the straight-six to desirable 4.2-litre capacity. In addition to installing new pistons supplied by Cosworth, the cylinder head was refurbished, the camshaft covers powder coated, and the three SU carburettors rebuilt at a cost of £12,530. A further £8,609 was spent with the marque specialist to cover the costs of a replacement clutch and flywheel, a service of the brakes, and greasing the chassis. The Aston Martin is notably accompanied by a restamped spare engine block in addition to a jack, tool roll, plus spare wheel. Currently featuring an uprated engine that is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this DB5 Convertible could offer a thrilling open-air driving experience to its next owner. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Convertible RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The sporting DB4 served Aston Martin magnificently across its five series but in 1963, the time came to introduce the revised DB5. Regarded by many as the marque’s finest Italianate-era entry, once again the model made use of Touring of Milan’s lightweight tubular Superleggera construction method that supported alloy body panels. Underneath the beautiful skin, the famed straight-six designed by Tadek Marek grew from 3,670 cc up to 4 litres to produce a healthy 282 brake horsepower. To enjoy the driving experience even more, between 1963 and 1965, the Newport Pagnell factory built 123 DB5 Convertibles. With 39 of those configured for use abroad, a mere 84 were completed in right-hand-drive form suited for British roads. Such an intoxicating recipe found favour with the great and the good. A broad spectrum of past and present famous owners of the rare DB5 Convertible reportedly included Peter Sellers, Princess Magaret, Prince Michael of Kent, Elle Macpherson, Ralph Lauren, and, perhaps less surprisingly, former Aston Martin boss Sir David Brown. According to the accompanying copy of the Vehicle Heritage Certificate issued in April 2013 by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, chassis number DB5C/1509/R offered here was delivered on 10 July 1964 to a dealership in Brooklands. This right-hand-drive car was configured in Platinum to complement a Black soft-top roof and an interior trimmed with Black Connolly leather. Originally, a 4-litre straight-six was paired with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. The first owner is listed as Clearmount Limited of New Bond Street, London. From November 1987, the DB5 Convertible was owned by Mr Philip Barton-Wright from Grays in Essex. He kept the car for almost 13 years before it was acquired by the Germany-based consignor. However, before taking delivery of chassis number DB5C/1509/R in late-1999, he tasked The Aston Workshop of Beamish in County Durham with a major overhaul. Most notably, after the bodyshell was acid-treated, the car was changed to its current metallic Silver Birch hue. In addition, the dashboard was restored, a new black mohair roof and wire wheels were fitted, the gearbox and rear axle rebuilt, the carburettors refreshed, and uprated anti-roll bars equipped as part of work totalling £48,000 (invoice available to view on file). Since completion, the DB5 Convertible has formed part of the seller’s pre- and post-war Aston Martin collection. In 2008, the DB5 did return to the United Kingdom ahead of an extensive rebuild of the replacement engine. Aston Engineering of Derby was tasked with the overhaul, which notably included boring out the straight-six to desirable 4.2-litre capacity. In addition to installing new pistons supplied by Cosworth, the cylinder head was refurbished, the camshaft covers powder coated, and the three SU carburettors rebuilt at a cost of £12,530. A further £8,609 was spent with the marque specialist to cover the costs of a replacement clutch and flywheel, a service of the brakes, and greasing the chassis. The Aston Martin is notably accompanied by a restamped spare engine block in addition to a jack, tool roll, plus spare wheel. Currently featuring an uprated engine that is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this DB5 Convertible could offer a thrilling open-air driving experience to its next owner.

Extremely late 1957 production special order example accompanied by aftermarket Rudge wheels, factory luggage, belly pans, and copious documentation. Previously restored by Scott Grundfor, and retained by him as his personal car for nearly a decade. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing remains one of the most important and iconic vehicles ever constructed. With cultural, artistic, and performance influence spanning six decades, the Gullwing continues to inspire enthusiasts all over the world. Originally released in 1954 with production culminating in 1957, 1,400 cars were produced and delivered to a wide range of clientele, eager to own one of the finest road-going sports cars ever assembled for public use. A triumph of engineering and design, the 300SL offered fuel-injection (the first of its kind) achieving the world's fastest top speed at that time. The 300 SL (S-Sport, L-Light) confirmed Max Hoffman’s challenge to Mercedes-Benz engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut – to build a Gran-Prix car tailored for road use. The 300 SL would span several years of racing achievements while simultaneously spawning a new age of ultra-performance cars, creating a legacy that inspires modern Mercedes-Benz design and excellence throughout their current premium offerings. This particular 300SL Gullwing is one of the last built. Completed in 1957, this is one of just 70 cars produced in this final year, and the 18th car from the very last produced. Originally finished in white with red interior, it was purchased in Dusseldorf in April 1957 by John Pallon, then a US Army serviceman. Pallon had the car shipped to his home in Studio City, California where it remained under his ownership until selling to Harold Bailey, Inglewood, CA and then to Seth Hammond, Culver City, CA. In 1986, a client of Scott Grundfor, Naohiro Ishikawa, purchased the car and brought it to Scott Restorations for a comprehensive restoration. Ishikawa, a respected collector from Sapporo, Japan had previously restored several classic Mercedes-Benzes with Scott Restorations. Shortly after his purchase, this Gullwing was comprehensively restored for Ishikawa including full paint, interior, chrome, engine, suspension, all exterior and suspension rubber, new wiring harness, brakes, and injection pump. In 1990, Grundfor traded another car for this car, retaining it as one of his personal cars until 1998 when it was purchased by the current owner. As part of the purchase, the current consigning owner asked Grundfor to restore the car to a “99 point” restoration, as outlined in a letter confirmed by Grundfor included with the supporting documents on file with this car. Paying an additional $40,000 for the restoration services, the car was repainted the current silver metallic, the interior fully reupholstered, chrome wheels added, and a modern air conditioning system installed. Details of the restoration also included new windshield molding, a new steering wheel turn signal assembly, emergency brake handle, improved chrome gauge bezels, new pop out window rubbers, misc. interior chrome plating, refinishing under the hood, trunk refinishing, hose clamps, and misc. hardware. Over the past 25 years of current ownership, the owner has enjoyed the car in the states and exported it to Brazil where it has been driven internationally. In 2015, while in transit back to California, the rear of the car was damaged on the bumper and left rear quarter panel. Experts at Canepa Designs repaired the car to a very high standard tending to additional details at a cost of $37,000. Satisfied with the high quality of work performed at Canepa, the owner returned the car for extensive mechanical services totaling an additional $109,000 including removing and repairing the fuel tank, new fuel hoses, new fuel lines, disassembly and cleaning the fuel pump, rebuild for cold start enrichment, fuel injection adjustments, engine cleaning and detailing, new filters and fluids, points, condenser, removal and refinishing for the radiator, new hoses, a new Borla stainless-steel exhaust system (painted satin black), new hangers, and new heat shields. Work performed on the engine, transmission, clutch, interior, various trim, and detailed features are documented in nine two-inch notebooks spanning seven years of continued regular services performed at Canepa Designs with detailed photos and reference notes outlining all services. In December 2022 a new set of tires and tubes were installed, a new generator and voltage regulator installed, and a new windshield fitted at Burlingame Motors, Burlingame, CA. In preparation for sale, A&C Auto Air & Radiator, Inc., San Rafael, CA purged and recharged the AC system which blows cold conditioned air throughout the cabin, with Burlingame Motors further sorting the car in September 2023. Today this rare and beautiful Gullwing offers an impressive presence with excellent cosmetics and superb mechanical continuity. The silver metallic paint is uniformly fluid and remains glossy and smooth with attractive presentation throughout. The doors, hood, and trunk gaps are excellent having all benefited from the extensive 99-point restoration performed in 1998 and further enhanced by Canepa Designs from 2015-2021. The hood and trunk open and shut smoothly and the iconic doors easily open, sustaining upright position without sagging. In addition to the doors exhibiting excellent closure, the fit is consistent at both the roof and lower portion of the door parting lines where panel alignment often becomes compromised over time. The trim, chrome, and lenses are all in excellent condition. The wheels are correctly dated for this series car and a spare set of remanufactured Rudge wheels are included. The interior of the car has a very nice look and feel with excellent harmony to the surfaces which have only slightly mellowed over time. High quality workmanship and excellent finish details are evident in the seating surfaces, stitching, and tufting, while a beautifully fitted leather topped dash conveys a finishing touch to the leather interior. The stunning red color is consistent and smooth. Contrasting headliner and fitted carpet creates an elegant and composed feel to the cockpit, particularly accented by the delightful bits of chrome, and a full array of detailed instrumentation. The dashboard is beautiful, with exceptionally nice gauges, all functioning as expected. The miles per hour speedometer dial has been covered with a kilometer face, which was required for driving while in Brazil. The odometer mechanism has not been altered and still records in miles. All ivory-color interior parts remain very nice showing only minor evidence of use. The beautifully crafted luggage appears to be original with finishes that have sympathetically aged to a warm inviting patina. The overall visual impact of the interior is quite impressive, exhibiting consistently uniform finishes in harmony with the exterior - just the sort of combination one might expect from a well-restored car that has been enjoyed, though fastidiously refined both mechanically and cosmetically to a high level. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment present beautifully with correct finishes, proper fittings, attention to detail including correct labels and fasteners, and more recent freshening to many finishes and engine decals. All systems operate properly including the air conditioning system which has been recently recharged and blows cold, a highly desirable feature in a Gullwing for anyone who wishes to drive this car in moderate temperatures or in lengthy motoring events. As one might expect from a car that has been sorted and well-maintained, mechanical performance is consistent with the cosmetic condition. It would not be a stretch to state that the operational features are among the best we have seen in a Gullwing. The car starts readily and settles into a crisp lightly toned idle burbling though the desirable stainless-steel exhaust. Shifting is smooth and confident with excellent feel to the gearbox particularly when warm. Suspension is very nice on the highway and quite responsive on corners considering the era of this design. Braking and downshifting are quite effective with a helpful boost in stopping power supplied by braking assist. Although the car has been driven and enjoyed, the owner has not scrimped on detailing the chassis and underside components as these areas remain in very good condition overall with just minor evidence of use shown in the correctly finished components. The integrity of the restoration given to the upper surfaces is reflected diligently in the underside including the complete set of rare belly pans, often lost or misplaced simply due to the passage of time. All suspension and engine components have been restored to a high standard using correct finishes and fasteners consistent with the era. The chassis integrity supports the known history from new with decades of California ownership spanning the majority of the life of this fine Gullwing. This Gullwing comes with a set of fitted luggage (likely original to this car), a pivot type steering wheel, a set of four reproduction Rudge wheels and a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Owner’s Manual, Also included with the sale are nine large three-ring binders documenting the restoration and mechanical services performed while under the past 25 years of current ownership, as well as copies of handwritten correspondences from Scott Grundfor documenting the car, the terms of purchase, and the history of this Gullwing. One of the most advanced sports cars available when new, the 300SL Gullwing was brimming with innovative features, many of which remain today as hallmarks of superlative automotive engineering. Sporty, elegant, and exclusive, just 70 examples were built in 1957, the final year of production. Ongoing appreciation from astute enthusiasts has continued to grow due to the timeless beauty, exceptional build quality, and rarity of the incomparable Gullwing. Whether a defining centerpiece to a world class collection, or a singular example of excellence for a vintage enthusiast, this 300 SL Gullwing will prominently convey all the majesty of this premier brand as a sporting testimonial to the Mercedes-Benz legacy. Ready for enjoyable driving, events, or fun excursions, just as originally intended, the care and mechanical attention dedicated to this 300SL Gullwing will always retain its vaulted status as one of the most desirable sports cars of the 20th century. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Incredibly Well-Sorted Genuine Sprint Veloce Lightweight. Mille Miglia Retrospective and California Mille Veteran. Powered by Fresh Conrad Stevenson 1500cc Engine and Offered with spare 1750cc Powerplant. Well-Documented and Ready For Virtually Any Event Worldwide. Alfa Romeo, the giant of Italian automobile manufacturing, turned their focus after the second world war to more volume-based production and larger market growth. Intent on building fine cars for broader markets, the sporting vitality and stylish designs of the early 50s Alfas would become legendary. On the racetrack, just as Alfa-Romeo had dominated in the past, their lightweight models benefited from mild engine tuning creating cars that could run with the pack in the hands of capable privateers or greet the cheering masses with top level drivers in the winner’s circle. The first Giulietta was the Bertone penned Sprint coupe. Modest in design but elegantly simple, the 1300cc twin cam engine was the perfect pairing for the market, becoming an instant success with youthful, style-conscious Europeans eager to begin their post-war lives with an exciting sports car as part of their success. For those who sought more performance, the Veloce was made available in 1956 as well as the rare and highly desirable lightweight or “Alleggerita” – the top performing of the series. To build this special variant, Bertone fitted an alloy hood, door skins, lighter bumpers, and lighter headlight bezels to the stamped steel body. Further enhancements included lighter engine components, lightened interiors, and sliding plexiglass side windows replacing the heavier glass units found in the standard Sprint models. Built for performance, the heavy rear seat was removed, replaced with a flat parcel area, and all typical sound deadening was eliminated once again to save weight. The resultant car was not only faster than a standard Sprint, it offered nimble handling and fantastic versatility in a range of driving conditions. General Overview According to reference information noted in the FIVA Identity Card issued in 1998, this factory lightweight Sprint was first sold July 26, 1956, to Marc Peccolo, Angoleme, France. The next owner of record is noted as Jacques Ricord, Nice, France. By 1993 the car is reported to have been restored by Carrozeria Flli Gabiati/Milano, Italy and AJR/ Nice, France. On April 7, 1998, the car was issued a FIVA card, then under German ownership with the notation that the car was fitted with a 101 type gearbox. Having been purchased by well-known sports car enthusiast Roger Hoffman, the car arrived in California around 2001 where it was treated to extensive mechanical work by Alfa Romeo expert Conrad Stevenson. Some years later, Hoffman engages Fantasy Junction to sell the car to Frank Gabrielli who, in 2014, sells the car to the current owner, a Northern California vintage Alfa Romeo enthusiast. Being very particular about his cars being both cosmetically and mechanically prepared to a high standard, the current owner spent the past seven years refining the car ensuring that all mechanical systems were in top order, all instruments were dialed in and functional, all lighting was both correct and functional, and any errant wind noises were properly resolved with correct fit to the doors, glass, and rubber. Even the heater was correctly wired and ducted to function properly. Accompanying the car are extensive copies of invoices for mechanical and cosmetic work copiously detailing with photos and specifications the efforts extended to prepare this car to the level it is today. The 1300cc engine rebuild is detailed by Stevenson with notation for specifications, measurements, and a dyno chart along with rear axle and brake specifications, complete interior upholstery and seat framework overview, suspension work, and glass and weatherstrip replacement – to name just a few of the many aspects of the ongoing improvements and refurbishment performed on the car. Additional notes are also provided for the 1750cc engine which was in excellent operation as late as August 2021 shortly before being removed for the 1300cc engine installation that represents the current running configuration. General Condition Today this Alfa Romeo offers a handsome, consistent, and well-sorted presentation. The paint is glossy with excellent coverage throughout, and very nice panel fit, particularly so given the alloy body panel fit to the steel main structure. The various bright work has been redone to a high level with excellent grille and trim over each side opening. The sporting competition road lights added to the front bumper deliver a nice rally touch to the look of the car. The steel wheels have been painted with the correct silver finish, void of fussy wheel cover mounting clips. The Vredestein tires are correctly sized to the car and the suspension is set just right for the wheel openings giving the car excellent stance. The side glass garnish molding allows for sliding plexiglass windows specific to the lightweight configuration as mounted to the alloy-skinned doors. Fit and finish for all the lighting, trim, emblems, and other specific details has been restored to a very high standard. The interior, completed in 2014, under current ownership is particularly handsome in both finish and colors. The leather seating surfaces are beautifully finished as are the door panels, headliner, and carpeting all the way back into the rear parcel area that is unique to the lightweight configuration. Accenting the original instruments, each of the three dials and the wood rim Nardi steering wheel collectively compose what must be considered one of the best-looking dashboards of this era. The dash houses an array of original knobs and switches flanked by handsome door levers, Alfa-Romeo branded foot pedals, and polished door thresholds. The cockpit of this Veloce is a delightful engagement of purpose and beauty, which is only further enriched by the driving experience once behind the wheel. The engine compartment is beautifully presented, currently housing a period-correct non-matching numbers 1300cc engine, built to 1500cc, by expert Conrad Stevenson as documented in the invoices accompanying the car. In addition to this engine, the car previously ran a 1750cc engine which is offered with the spares. The engine bay is prepared using factory finishes, hardware, and fasteners, delivering authentic vintage including correct Weber carburetors, factory type hoses and air induction plenum, silver quilted hood insulation pad, textured black cam cover finish, and correctly detailed engine auxiliary components. The trunk is properly prepared with a matching spare tire and jack mounted in place and housing the rear mounted battery. The undercarriage eschews show level detail but still presents quite clean and very well resolved showing solid floor pans and rockers, clean engine and drivetrain castings, and no signs of structural compromise to the floor or suspension mounts. Having driven the car both as the currently configured 1300cc engine and the previous 1750cc version, we are pleased to say that the character and quality of the driving experience are very well balanced in both instances. This is a wonderful, dialed in car with a cohesive feel, excellent driving manners, and great sounds. The driving experience, coupled with very rewarding cosmetics, is very rewarding. The 1300cc engine is not peaking under throttle, indicating plenty of available power in the rev range. Driving is responsive and effortless with each shift, entering corner after corner with tight suspension, brakes that pull down straight, and solid pedals that respond properly on demand. The comfortable seats, wonderful exhaust note, and lightweight “feel” at the wheel heartily delivers on the Veloce lightweight promise at every corner. This is a delightful Giulietta Sprint Veloce “Alleggerita” ready for show or events with a high level of mechanical and cosmetic confidence offering the rarity of factory lightweight construction and miles and miles of pure Alfa Romeo enjoyment for the next fortunate owner. Items Included with the Car This Alfa Romeo is offered with the spare 1750cc engine (AR00531*01267*), car cover, roadside safety kit, spare lug wrench, and an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Instruction Book and case. 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Mille Miglia Retrospective and California Mille Veteran. Powered by Fresh Conrad Stevenson 1500cc Engine and Offered with spare 1750cc Powerplant. Well-Documented and Ready For Virtually Any Event Worldwide. Alfa Romeo, the giant of Italian automobile manufacturing, turned their focus after the second world war to more volume-based production and larger market growth. Intent on building fine cars for broader markets, the sporting vitality and stylish designs of the early 50s Alfas would become legendary. On the racetrack, just as Alfa-Romeo had dominated in the past, their lightweight models benefited from mild engine tuning creating cars that could run with the pack in the hands of capable privateers or greet the cheering masses with top level drivers in the winner’s circle. The first Giulietta was the Bertone penned Sprint coupe. Modest in design but elegantly simple, the 1300cc twin cam engine was the perfect pairing for the market, becoming an instant success with youthful, style-conscious Europeans eager to begin their post-war lives with an exciting sports car as part of their success.

Established in 1984 as the Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft—the German Production Car Championship—before transitioning to its more familiar Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterchaft moniker in 1986, the DTM rapidly emerged as the most prestigious touring car championship in continental Europe. Strictly enforced Group A regulations and a performance-based weight handicap system promoted a relatively level playing field as the series became a byword for spectacular and competitive racing. For the 1988 season, a “double header” race weekend format was introduced, which was accompanied by an upsurge in manufacturer interest from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Ford. Furthermore, the collapse of the European Touring Car Championship at the end of that year hastened the arrival of grandee teams including Eggenberger and Schnitzer for 1989, as well as star drivers such as ex-Formula 1 pilots Johnny Cecotto and Bernd Schneider, Touring Car greats Steve Soper and Roberto Ravaglia, and Sports Car legends Klaus Ludwig and Manuel Reuter. Following Ford’s withdrawal, the 1990 season looked set to be a bilateral contest between BMW and Mercedes-Benz, with both marques entering no less than four Works-backed teams. However, it was a single factory-supported, Schmidt Motorsport-run Audi V8 quattro that attracted the greatest attention as the Ingolstadt marque embarked upon an official DTM campaign for the first time. Piloted by former World Sports Car Champion Hans-Joachim Stuck, its superb four-wheel-drive system rendered it the class of the field; the German winning seven of a possible 22 races to secure the title. For 1991, Schmidt expanded to a two-car operation, with 22-year-old karting prodigy Hubert Haupt joining Stuck in the team. Audi’s presence was also bolstered by a second Works-backed outfit; the Audi Zentrum Reutlingen squad running cars for Franks Biela and Jelinski. Duly updated to “Evolution” specification, the V8 quattro’s 3.5-litre engine by now produced almost 500 horsepower, while a new front splitter and adjustable-height rear wing offered significant aerodynamic advances. BMW initially set the pace by winning the first four races, but enviable consistency and three wins in the final four rounds handed Biela the title ahead of the Mercedes-Benz-mounted Ludwig and Stuck. Incredibly, this represented the first time a manufacturer had sealed back-to-back DTM titles. Audi’s dominance was underlined by Biela winning two of the four end-of-season ITR races to also secure the ITR Driver’s Cup. Originally one of the Schmidt Motorsport-run cars, this stunning example—chassis LN000049—made its race debut in the opening round of the 1991 Championship, at Zolder. Driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck, it finished a superb 2nd behind Cecotto’s BMW in the second race, ahead of Biela’s similar car. However, after a sequence of three retirements in four races, Haupt took over the driving duties at Avus; the Bavarian finishing 4th and 3rd on a weekend when Audi swept the podium in both races. Thereafter, the car reverted to Stuck, who subsequently took three excellent wins at Norisring, Diepholz, and Singen to cement his 3rd place in the Championship. If Audi’s 1991 season had been unmitigated triumph, then 1992 proved acrimonious. The team’s early season pace was overshadowed by BMW and Mercedes-Benz lobbying successfully for the quattro’s minimum weight to be increased to 1,300 kilograms, and frequent protests centring around the legality—or otherwise—of the quattro’s crankshaft. A Biela-Stuck 1-2 at Nürburgring aside, there were few other results of note, and Stuck’s 6th place at Avus was to prove the final significant result for chassis LN000049. Indeed, so toxic was the prevailing political situation that Audi withdrew mid-season; the Nürburgring Nordschleife round in June representing the marque’s Championship swansong. Having remained in Audi’s care for more than two decades, chassis LN000049 was acquired in April 2014 by its illustrious former driver, Hupert Haupt, who promptly entrusted it to Imgrund Motorsport of Hüttenhausen, Germany for complete restoration to 1991 specification. The work performed including rebuilding the car’s complex transmission and suspension, as well as rewiring, replumbing and the fitment of a 4.2-litre engine; the latter unit offering superior torque and slightly lower maximum revs. Exquisitely finished in its correct 1991-specification Audi Sport livery, chassis LN000049 is supported by an extensive spares package including its original race engine, two spare sets of wheels, a wiring harness, a complete braking system, and a period-correct laptop for data download purposes. Used only minimally since completion, the car is accompanied by an FIA Historical Technical Passport and represents a highly attractive and competitive entry into the numerous historic and Youngtimer touring car events for which it is eligible. 1991 Audi V8 quattro DTM RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

What is light, nimble, sexy and will sting when you’re not paying attention? – Abarth’s Sorpion. Giuseppe Rinaldi created the Abarth Milletrecento Scorpione with Carrozzeria Francis Bombardi of Vercelli. We can already feel our moustache and need for espresso and gas! Based on the Fiat 850, the Scorpione was the last independent Abarth ever produced. It was presented in 1968 in Geneva, where quite a few drivers saw the potential in this venomous scorpion. After all, Abarth was one of the few manufacturers who offered racing support. When Fiat took over Abarth in ’71, production and support stopped. Since then the Scorpione is on the endangered-car species list and is only spotted in collections. Ours? Second collection also owner, no circuit yet.

Ferrari in Formula 2 A comparatively short Formula 1 calendar coupled with far fewer contractual and sponsorship obligations and an abundance of potential prize money meant other motorsport series were incredibly popular in the 1950s and ’60s. It was not uncommon to see the sport’s most famous names – the likes of Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt – contesting endurance motor races, hard-fought touring-car bouts and even the Can-Am Challenge Cup across the pond. None was perhaps quite as popular among drivers (and constructors), however, as Formula 2. Nineteen sixty-seven saw the Formula 2 championship strike out on its own and run as a standalone series separate to its senior counterpart. Ferrari, which up until that point had only dabbled in the second-tier single-seater category, saw cause to mount a Works assault. There just so happened to be a stumbling block. You see the international Formula 2 rules dictated that the engines used by competing cars must be six cylinders in specification and derive from a homologated GT production car. A production car of which more than 500 had been built. Even in the latter half of the 1960s, Ferrari could only dream about producing entry-level (read less expensive) road cars in such volume. So, with production of his sultry new six-cylinder Pininfarina-designed 206 Dino GT underway, Il Commendatore swallowed his pride and approached Fiat in Turin, with a view to ‘making up the numbers’. A deal was struck that resulted in Fiat using the V6 engine for its own more affordable and less exclusive Dino model. And so the homologation rules were satisfied. Enter the 166 Dino F2. Realised very much in the same spirit as its 312 F1-67 Formula 1 car, Ferrari’s first purpose-built Formula 2 car was a real jewel. Its sleek, diminutive scarlet cigar-tube body clothed a semi-monocoque and tubular-steel spaceframe chassis. Harnessed at the rear was the 1.6-litre Dino V6, which revved to an ungodly 10,000rpm and produced in excess of 200bhp – ample, considering the car’s scant 425kg kerb weight. Chassis number 0010 One of two new 166 Dino F2s prepared by the Works SEFAC Scuderia Ferrari team for the 1968 Formula 2 season, chassis number 0010 made its competitive debut in the curtain-raising Gran Premio de Barcelona, held at Montjuich Park in Barcelona. It was assigned to the young Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. You know, the man who went on to win eight Formula 1 Grands Prix and six 24 Hours of Le Mans races? This Ferrari was assigned to the young Belgian driver Jacky Ickx for the first half of the 1968 season. Ickx demonstrated both his and the 166’s pace on his second outing with chassis number 0010, clinching pole position for the Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring. Said pace was to prove irritating for Ickx’s Scuderia Ferrari teammate Chris Amon in the next round at Zolder in Belgium. The split-heat format meant an aggregate result would determine the points distribution. When Amon finished race one in second (Ickx was out of contention in eighth) and the winner Jochen Rindt dropped well back early in race two, Amon was all but guaranteed an overall win. If he could finish ahead of his teammate that was. The trouble was Ickx, who’d found his groove, was racing in his home country. And he claimed not to have noticed the signals from the team urging him to relinquish his race lead and allow Amon past. In the end Rindt valiantly fought back to third place, behind the Ferraris of Ickx and Amon. And the German’s first and third were better than Amon’s two second-place finishes. Stifled celebration for Ickx, then, who’d tasted victory on home turf. Midway through the 1968 season, this 166 Dino F2 became the very first competition Ferrari raced by the five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell After one further outing in the hands of Jacky Ickx at Crystal Palace in London, chassis number 0010 was reassigned to Derek Bell for the remainder of the 1968 Formula 2 season. Significantly, this 166 Dino F2 was the very first competition Ferrari raced by the five-time Le Mans winner. The young English driver recalls how exciting it was visiting the factory in Maranello for his seat-fit ahead of his first race for the Scuderia, the Gran Premio della Lotteria at Monza. “The mechanics bustled round the place getting me stepladders to climb up into the cockpit of ‘my’ Formula 2 car,” Bell remembers in his book My Racing Life. “One guy asked me how I wanted the pedals positioned, another what shape gear lever knob I required and a third how much padding I wanted in the cockpit. This was a fantastic experience – at Ferrari having a fitting for a race car!” Bell recalled in his book My Racing Life how special it was to race for Scuderia Ferrari for the first time The trust Enzo Ferrari had invested in Bell was duly rewarded in qualifying for the race at Monza. His first competitive outing ‘in red’ resulted in a spectacular pole position. Such was the decisiveness of Bell’s qualifying lap that Il Commendatore offered the Englishman a Works contract and even a test in the full-fat 312 Formula 1 car - a test that would ultimately lead to a Formula 1 seat. “It was the big time at last!” he thought. Bell raced chassis number 0010 on five further occasions in the remainder of the 1968 season, finishing each race and, most notably, winning a heat at Zolder in Belgium. The Englishman finished a credible fourth in the European Trophy for Formula 2 Drivers. Bell proved a dab hand with this Ferrari, winning a heat at Zolder and finishing fourth in the Formula 2 Championship standings In the 1960s and ’70s, many of motorsport’s top drivers would spend their winter off-season in the warmer climes of Australia and New Zealand, contesting the popular Tasman Series. Kiwi Ferrari driver Chris Amon was, understandably, keen to lift the Tasman Cup and talked the Scuderia into providing him two cars to race ‘down under’ in 1969. One of these cars was chassis number 0010. Because the Tasman technical regulations permitted engines up to 2,500cc in capacity, Ferrari upgraded the 166 Dino F2 to 246 specification. That meant installing the 24-valve 2.4-litre V6 previously used by the Scuderia’s Formula 1 cars, in addition to a slew of other upgrades including a straight-cut five-speed gearbox, Lucas indirect fuel injection and a limited-slip differential. Visually, the most obvious tell for the 1969 car was the addition of the small Formula 1-inspired aerofoil wing, mounted just aft the driver. “Such was the decisiveness of Bell’s qualifying lap with this car that Il Commendatore offered the Englishman a Works contract and even a test in the full-fat 312 Formula 1 car - a test that would ultimately lead to a Formula 1 seat.” Though Ferrari stopped short of flying any personnel out to Sydney to directly assist with the running of the cars (it was only getting a percentage of the winnings), Maranello’s support in other ways was invaluable to Amon and his Scuderia Veloce outfit. “I greatly appreciate what Ferrari did for me because it’s a helluva long way from them,” Amon later explained. “They air-freighted out any parts we needed and they supplied all the information we asked for.” While Amon would drive the sister 246 Dino, chassis number 0008, during the 1969 Tasman Series, Derek Bell was invited to drive chassis number 0010 once again. From the off, the potent 300bhp Ferraris proved the class of the field, Amon securing a decisive victory in the opening round at Pukekohe in New Zealand. Indeed, Amon would go on to win the championship, beating the likes of Jochen Rindt, Piers Courage, Graham Hill and Jack Brabham. Chassis 0010 and 0008 pictured inside the Ferrari factory gates in Maranello, prior to being shipped to Sydney for the 1969 Tasman Series Meanwhile, Bell played a strong supporting role with this car, picking up a season-best second position at Warwick Farm and even winning a preliminary 14-lap race ahead of the Levin International. He finished fourth in the series standings. But the Englishman’s fond memories of both his Ferrari and his time spent contesting the Tasman Series outshine the on-paper result. “The whole Tasman trip was really fantastic – particularly for me at that stage of my career,” Bell recalls. “Those Dinos were beautifully balanced little cars with, in 2.4-litre form, a superb power-to-weight ratio. Its competitive duties complete, chassis number 0010 was returned to the Works in Maranello in the spring of 1969. The car was later acquired by Lord Anthony Bamford, among the United Kingdom’s foremost Ferrari collectors, before joining the stable of Dudley and Sally Mason-Styron in 1980. Well-known champions of the Ferrari marque in the UK, the Mason-Styrons cherished this Dino for almost four decades, sharing it at a raft of events including Goodwood Festival of Speed on several occasions and Ferrari’s 50th-anniversary celebration in Maranello. Offered directly from a subsequent – though no less significant – collection of historic competition cars, this 166/246 Dino is a truly special car: a Works Ferrari single-seater raced with success in period by two of the most decorated drivers of their generations, Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, at the beginnings of their illustrious careers. Its according eligibility for a raft of historic motoring events, sheer stop-you-in-your-tracks beauty and beguiling condition render this thoroughbred Prancing Horse a tantalising proposition for discerning Ferrari disciples. 1968 Ferrari 166/246 Dino Formula 2 Girardo & Co.

To replace the iconic Miura, Lamborghini would once again throw the design rulebook out of the window. Employing Marcello Gandini once more, Lamborghini launched the spaceship LP400 at the Geneva motorshow in 1971. Three years later the first customer cars were delivered. In 1974 the Countach was a trailblazer. Its design both pioneered and popularised the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. The "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward in order to accommodate a larger engine, was also popularised by the Countach. For the 5000 QV, the penultimate and most popular iteration of the Countach legend, the engine was bored and stroked to 5.2 litres (5,167 cc) and given four valves per cylinder (quattrovalvole in Italian). The carburettors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing — creating a "power bulge" on the engine cover. These engine changes meant that the car produces 455BHP @7,500rpm with 369lb ft @ 5,200rpm; some 70bhp up on its Testarossa rival and enough to propel the car from a standstill to 60mph in 4.1 seconds and on to 100mph in 10. The Downdraft 5000 QV was in fact the only Countach to be homologated for the FIAs Group B, intending to rival the likes of the 288 GTO and 959 before the cancellation of the series due to safety concerns. Such was the over engineering present with the Countach, even at peak production just three handbuilt cars a week were finished in Sant’Agata. It is these facts and figures which make the downdraft QV the Countach to have, whilst the headlines have been grabbed the early Periscopica Countachs which have soared in value, peaking at auction as high as $1,800,000. In 2011, world-renowned period test-driver Valentino Balboni spoke the highest praise of the QV, ’It’s still clean and pure Countach. I think it’s the best compromise. In terms of power and drivability, for me it’s the best. This is the one which has the most charisma, I would say. Pure Countach: the right engine in the right car.” This example of the iconic, penned by Marcello Gandini, Lamborghini Countach is a high performance 5000 QV ’88.5’ variant, named as such due to its four valve per cylinder heads (Quattro – Valvole). This specific car is believed to have been the New York Auto Show car for 1988. It arrived finished in Rosso Perlato Chiaro, a deep almost pearlescent finish, not overly saturated, which allows it to pair coherently with the gold Campagnolo magnesium wheels. The interior is trimmed in extensive Champagne leather, with dark red inserts and piping. A specification that was bespoke at the time, and certainly encapsulates the iconic 1980s aesthetic of the Countach. After unveiling at the New York Auto Show, the car had two subsequent owners before being purchased by Frank Drendel of North Carolina, with just 5,877 kilometres from new, in January 1997. The Drendel family was in ownership of an impressive collection, and notably Matt Drendel, son of Frank, would go on to purchase a broad range of the most desirable turbocharged Porsche Racecars, including 911 GT1, 917/30, and several 935s, before his untimely passing at just 35 years old in 2010. In 1998, the car was sold to Al Burtoni of Milano Imports of Gilroy, California. Burtoni would undertake extensive modification this Countach, including high compression pistons, camshafts, ignition, low inertia connecting rods, as well as European spec headers, exhaust system, and Weber carburettors. This raised the output of the Bizzarrini Designed V12 from a claimed 440bhp, which was an optimistic figure, to a proven 538.4 Corrected bhp over 7,000rpm, on the TRD USA dyno in California. Whilst the car was undergoing works, it was purchased by Miura and Diablo owner Dick Rasmussen, who eventually took delivery of the car to his home in Wisconsin on the 4th of September 1998. Upon purchasing, Rasmussen also had the registration "DA BULL" put onto the car. Rasmussen would go on to care for this Countach until his passing in 2023; an over 25-year single ownership, covering less than 7,000km in this time. A request from Rasmussen was that whoever would be the next owner of the car would be selected by his family, and as such, the previous owner of the car did not simply just choose to purchase the Countach, he underwent a lengthy assessment by the family to be a worthy custodian of the vehicle. Today, this exceptionally powerful Countach has covered only 13,000 kilometres from new and presents the opportunity to purchase an appropriately upgraded Lamborghini in excellent condition. 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV D.K.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright To replace the iconic Miura, Lamborghini would once again throw the design rulebook out of the window. Employing Marcello Gandini once more, Lamborghini launched the spaceship LP400 at the Geneva motorshow in 1971. Three years later the first customer cars were delivered. In 1974 the Countach was a trailblazer. Its design both pioneered and popularised the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. The "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward in order to accommodate a larger engine, was also popularised by the Countach. For the 5000 QV, the penultimate and most popular iteration of the Countach legend, the engine was bored and stroked to 5.2 litres (5,167 cc) and given four valves per cylinder (quattrovalvole in Italian). The carburettors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing — creating a "power bulge" on the engine cover. These engine changes meant that the car produces 455BHP @7,500rpm with 369lb ft @ 5,200rpm; some 70bhp up on its Testarossa rival and enough to propel the car from a standstill to 60mph in 4.1 seconds and on to 100mph in 10. The Downdraft 5000 QV was in fact the only Countach to be homologated for the FIAs Group B, intending to rival the likes of the 288 GTO and 959 before the cancellation of the series due to safety concerns. Such was the over engineering present with the Countach, even at peak production just three handbuilt cars a week were finished in Sant’Agata. It is these facts and figures which make the downdraft QV the Countach to have, whilst the headlines have been grabbed the early Periscopica Countachs which have soared in value, peaking at auction as high as $1,800,000. In 2011, world-renowned period test-driver Valentino Balboni spoke the highest praise of the QV, ’It’s still clean and pure Countach. I think it’s the best compromise. In terms of power and drivability, for me it’s the best. This is the one which has the most charisma, I would say. Pure Countach: the right engine in the right car.” This example of the iconic, penned by Marcello Gandini, Lamborghini Countach is a high performance 5000 QV ’88.5’ variant, named as such due to its four valve per cylinder heads (Quattro – Valvole). This specific car is believed to have been the New York Auto Show car for 1988. It arrived finished in Rosso Perlato Chiaro, a deep almost pearlescent finish, not overly saturated, which allows it to pair coherently with the gold Campagnolo magnesium wheels. The interior is trimmed in extensive Champagne leather, with dark red inserts and piping. A specification that was bespoke at the time, and certainly encapsulates the iconic 1980s aesthetic of the Countach. After unveiling at the New York Auto Show, the car had two subsequent owners before being purchased by Frank Drendel of North Carolina, with just 5,877 kilometres from new, in January 1997. The Drendel family was in ownership of an impressive collection, and notably Matt Drendel, son of Frank, would go on to purchase a broad range of the most desirable turbocharged Porsche Racecars, including 911 GT1, 917/30, and several 935s, before his untimely passing at just 35 years old in 2010. In 1998, the car was sold to Al Burtoni of Milano Imports of Gilroy, California. Burtoni would undertake extensive modification this Countach, including high compression pistons, camshafts, ignition, low inertia connecting rods, as well as European spec headers, exhaust system, and Weber carburettors.

Introduced at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, the Maserati Ghibli took the automotive world by storm, powered by a potent new 4.7-liter dry-sump V-8 engine capable of developing 310 horsepower. Showgoers were awestruck by the groundbreaking coachwork by Ghia’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, who penned a low and wide aerodynamic coupe featuring pop-up headlamps, a raked windshield, and a sweeping fastback rear end. The Ghibli soon became the preferred choice of jet-set celebrities around the globe, finding favor with A-list buyers as diverse as comedic actor Peter Sellers, French New Wave cinema star Jean-Paul Belmondo, entertainer Sammy Davis Jr., and professional basketball player Wilt Chamberlain. As with any great sports car coupe, customer demand eventually skyrocketed for an open-top version, and Maserati answered the call with a spyder that debuted on Ghia’s stand at the 1968 Turin Motor Show. With the roof removed, the coachwork design took on a totally different character, emphasizing its flowing beltlines and luxurious dimensions. The prototype proved to be the first of only 125 examples built across all variants, ensuring a degree of rarity that has only solidified the model’s cachet in the eyes of collectors today. This Ghibli Spyder, chassis number 1047, is recorded to have been manufactured in September 1969, according to the accompanying Certificate of Origin from Maserati issued in September 2015. The car was originally finished in Rame Metallizzato (Metallic Copper) over a Tan Connolly leather interior. Under the hood, the Maserati was built with a 4.7-liter V-8 engine paired with a five-speed manual ZF gearbox, making it one of only 83 such examples built with this engine type. Delivered new to Milan, Italy, the Ghibli Spyder was eventually imported into the United States and entered the collection of Ferrari North America President and CEO, Gianluigi Longinotti-Buitoni. In 2001, he sent his Maserati up to Canada for a restoration at Remo Ferri’s dealership in Ontario; Ferri would later take ownership of the vehicle. The Maserati is offered with invoices that reveal the years-long process of completely restoring the car to its current stunning condition. Given the nature of the vehicle’s ownership, the project was carried out via an open checkbook allowing no stone to be left unturned. Finally completed in 2018, the Ghibli Spyder is now finished in a handsome shade of dark blue over a tan interior with a matching dark blue convertible top. Additional information provided by the Maserati Certificate of Origin verifies the presence of its numbers-matching engine. A spare wheel is included, while the four Cromodora wheels are equipped with Michelin X radial tires. This fine example—which in 4.7-liter guise is rarer than its chief rival of the day, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider—is sure to appeal to Italian classic car aficionados thanks to its significant provenance and spectacular restoration. 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.
