- 1992-porsche-911-restored-and-reimagined-by-singer
Singer Vehicle Design was founded in 2009 to both preserve and optimize the famed air-cooled Porsche 911. The 964 model Porsche became the perfect foundation for Singer's work possessing the ideal combination of classic air-cooled Porsche traits combined with a sophisticated footing in the vital areas of the vehicle's dynamics. Inspiration is taken from the classic road racing era of the Porsche during the 1970s and can be seen in almost every detail around the car including the 'Butzi' Porsche-inspired bodywork. This example was ordered new in June 2016 and completed in a classical, bespoke non metallic dark blue over Charcoal leather with Blue Haargarn carpets. The exterior sees wheels and bumperettes finished in RS Nickel and Nickel respectively. Mechanically, this example sees all the great options ticked: 4.0 litre engine 6-speed gearbox Singer Brembo Big Brake upgrade Bahama Yellow brake calipers Öhlins Sport Adjustable suspension Ceramic intake plenum Big cams No catalytic converters 4WD Inside, the car sees a traditional German Haargarn carpet, as would be seen traditionally in early 911s and 356s, air-conditioning and the upgraded woven leather. The sills, central tunnel and rear are all trimmed in leather and furthermore, the woven leather extends to the door cards. The drivers zone was ordered from Singer with an 'off-menu' 1964 early 911 gauge set. The car sees early 911 door handles, an omission of the '4.0' badge on the rear, instead optioned simply with 'Porsche' in raised gold. The bonnet sees the trademark exposed centre-fill fuel tank and this example further received a sunroof from new, one of just a handful of Classics to receive one. Returning to Singer UK in July 2025 for warranty work and a fresh service, this visit remedied nickel corrosion and saw the fitment of two new bucket seats.

- 1970-mercedes-benz-280-se
Widely regarded as one of the finest post-war grand tourers, the Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Coupé combined timeless Paul Bracq styling with the marque’s first new-generation V8 engine. Built for less than two years, with just 3,270 examples produced, it represents the pinnacle of hand-built Mercedes craftsmanship. This example was delivered new in Germany in July 1970 and remained there for much of its life, including long-term single-family ownership. Between 2018 and 2020, it underwent a no-expense-spared, bare-shell restoration to concours standards. The body was stripped, repaired, and refinished in an elegant period-correct metallic hue, complemented by renewed chrome, replated brightwork, and refinished fastenings. Inside, the cabin was retrimmed in high-quality materials, with restored veneers and instruments presenting as new. Mechanically, the car is equally impressive. Its 3.5-litre V8 was overhauled by respected Mercedes specialist Peter Finkemeyer, with a complete rebuild including pistons, bearings, gaskets, and valve seats. Suspension, steering, braking, and fuel systems were all rebuilt, while the gearbox and rear axle were serviced and resealed. The result is a car that not only looks spectacular but also drives with the refinement and vigor expected of a freshly delivered 280 SE 3.5. Imported to the UK in 2021, the car has since been kept in a climate-controlled storage bubble, professionally detailed, and protected with Topaz Paint Protection Film under a 10-year warranty. Today, it presents in near-concours condition, with immaculate panel fit, flawless paintwork, and spotless underbody. 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1954-fiat-8v-berlinetta-series-ii
The Fiat 8V retains a legacy as one of the Italian marque’s most legendary cars ever made. Its short production run, spanning from 1952 to 1954, resulted in 114 examples of the 8V—or Ottovù in Italian—being made. Intriguingly, some cars were designed and made almost completely in-house by Fiat’s Dipartimento Carrozzerie Derivate e Speciali, or Special Bodies Department. In total, 63 were penned by Fiat’s chief designer, Fabio ‘Luigi’ Rapi; 34 first-series cars and 29 second-series cars. The example offered here enjoys a rich history as an 8V that was retained by Fiat upon completion. The car’s first listed owner was the marque’s Dipartimento Esperienze (roughly translated as “experiential department”) based at the famous Lingotto headquarters in Turin. Accordingly, the Fiat was first registered for the road on 28 June 1954 with the Turin-based registration “TO 165730”. The 8V’s original colour was Verde Metalizzata over a Beige interior, and it is believed that the car was kept by Fiat as a test vehicle for three years. On 12 March 1957, the 8V was sold to its first private owner, Sig. Giuseppe Vercellina and re-registered with the Italian targa “VC 84479”. Importantly, almost 70 years later and still in Italian ownership, the Fiat retains its period registration to this day. After Sig. Vercellina passed away in 1971, the Fiat was inherited by his three children, who duly sold the car to Sig.ra Lora Lamia Sergio. It is thought that the car was repainted in its current grey hue around this time. The 8V was next acquired by Sig.ra Rosangela Gibello (married to Piedmontese racing driver Claudio Maglioli, who was the brother of the Targa Florio-winning Umberto), who kept the car until 1988. The car was next purchased by Sig. Angelo Brino Bet, based near Treviso, before a brief sojourn to Belgian ownership. Later, the Fiat returned to Italian enthusiasts, from whom the car is now offered for sale. In the care of the consigning owner, the 8V was campaigned in the 2014 and 2015 editions of the Mille Miglia Storica and would make an ideal entry to future events. Presented with its matching-numbers engine, an impressive history file showing known Italian ownership from new, and retaining many original details inside and out, this charming Fiat 8V makes for an extremely appealing proposition for enthusiasts of the Fiat marque, Italian cars in general, and especially those collectors of rare berlinettas. 1954 Fiat 8V Berlinetta Series II RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Rising to fame through his co-founding of DC Shoes, Ken Block quickly found his second love in rallying following the sale of his company in 2004. After being named Rally America rookie of the year in 2005, numerous X Games medals would follow, in addition to finishing second overall in Rally America in 2006, 2008, and 2013. Perhaps most notably, Block would become the first American to drive in the World Rally Championship. It can be argued that Block’s most memorable time behind the wheel didn’t come from his time in professional rallying, but in the Gymkhana videos produced for the YouTube channel of his racing team, the Hoonigan Racing Division. They amassed many millions of views across ten feature-length videos featuring a variety of cars from his Ford Fiesta RS WRC to his custom-built Ford F-150 and Mustang, dubbed the Hoonitruck and Hoonicorn respectively. It was these videos that captured the imaginations of many, taking wild cars with breathtaking stunts and car control across increasingly wild landscapes, from San Francisco to Dubai. THE 2022 EAST AFRICAN SAFARI CLASSIC RALLY The East African Safari Classic Rally is a must-do event for enthusiasts around the world, and it is easy to see why it caught the attention of Ken Block as he continued to expand his experience in older cars and classic events on the rally calendar. Established in 2003 to revive the spirit of the original rally first held in 1953, it proved a grueling test of both man and machine across Kenya’s stunning landscapes, with the cars juxtaposed against the African Savanna. The 2022 edition would see the event’s return following the COVID pandemic, with the rally having been postponed from November 2021 to February 2022 as a result of travel restrictions, so there was fervent anticipation from participants and spectators alike to see the event return. While all the material for the rally (including signage and each car’s rally stickers) was done in anticipation of the event taking place in 2021, the event itself did in fact take place in February 2022. Porsche 911s have dominated the East African Safari Classic Rally since its inception, and there is no team with more experience on the event than Tuthill, and to many, they are the support of choice when entering the event. It’s no surprise that Block would have chosen to run a 911 built and supported by Tuthill for his first outing, as that would give him the greatest chance of adequate preparation beforehand and success on the actual event itself. All Tuthill’s 911s prepared for the East African Safari Classic Rally were fitted with a rebuilt 3.0-litre high-compression flat six-cylinder from a 911 SC engine producing 280 bhp alongside a safari-specification gearbox with a limited slip differential, safari specification oil coolers, and a competition specification exhaust. To cope with the terrain, the cars were fitted with five-way adjustable safari-spec dampers with hydraulic bump stops, strengthened safari rear arms, and a safari-specific steering rack, alongside bespoke billet front suspension uprights. Each donor 911 SC body shell was stripped back, strengthened, and repainted to customer specifications. Fitted with a full weld-in roll cage, the cars received full underbody protection with ‘roo’ bars at the front. The cars were also fitted with Perspex side windows, twin spare wheels, and a safari roof vent. Finally, the interiors were fully stripped out and prepared to rally specifications with Sparco Pro 2000 bucket seats, six-point harnesses, a Stilo intercom, two Monit G-Series trip computers, a hydraulic jack ready to be used in case of mid-event wheel replacements, and a fully plumbed-in fire suppression system alongside two handheld fire extinguishers. Block and his long-time codriver Alessandro Gelsomino would be one of no fewer than thirteen Tuthill-entered 911s competing in that edition of the East African Safari Classic Rally, showcasing the Tuthill team’s talent and experience with both the event and the 911 as a platform. Painstakingly built and prepared in the UK prior to being shipped to Africa, it was the Block/Gelsomino car that was undoubtedly the standout and most watched, not only due to its famous driver but the car’s eye-catching color scheme, finished in Block’s iconic Hoonigan Racing livery. Over the course of the event and on pace to win the event, Block and Gelsomino had amassed an impressive eight stage wins, but a whopping six punctures and a time penalty would leave them in 19th place overall at the finish. Looking at Tuthill’s rate of success across the same event, a Tuthill-prepared 911 driven by Patrik Sandell placed 2nd overall, followed by five other cars finishing in the top ten, with a further four rounding out the top 20. The event and all Tuthill’s participants, including Block and Gelsomino, were documented in a full-length film commissioned by Tuthill and produced by Petroleum & Co, showcasing not only the highs and lows of the event itself, but the painstaking preparation of each car participating, which makes for truly fascinating viewing. POST-RALLY HISTORY Following the conclusion of the rally, the 911 was transported back to England, where it went into storage at Tuthill’s Oxfordshire facilities. Meanwhile, Ken returned to modern cars and contested events in the 2022 Green APU National Rally Championship organized by the American Rally Association, driving a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC with Gelsomino as his co-driver. After Ken Block’s tragic passing in January 2023, the car was mechanically refreshed and set up for road use, while the exterior of the car was left in the same condition as it finished the rally. The car’s only outing since was at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it was driven as a tribute to Ken and his impact on the world of motorsport. Presently road-registered in the UK, this would be an extraordinary addition to any collection of Porsches or rally cars. Today, scores of young car enthusiasts can point to Ken Block, the Gymkhana videos, and his infectious personality as where they got their love of cars. This Tuthill-prepared 911 SC ‘Safari’ and its participation in the East African Safari Classic Rally brought the Hoonigan brand into an exciting new world, far away from the concrete jungles his cars were normally seen in the US, and undoubtedly helped to introduce Ken’s fans to the world of classic rallying. For the Hoonigan with a sense of adventure, there is no better car. 1978 Porsche 911 SC 'Safari' RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Ferrari 308 GTB, introduced in 1975, clearly indicated, with its designation, what‘s under the bonnet: a 8-cylinder engine with 3 litres capacity. It formed the basis of a very successful model in Ferrari lore being in production for 10 years. In 1977, the GTB Berlinetta was joined by the GTS Spyder Targa version which became rather famous through the American TV series Magnum with Tom Selleck chasing baddies with his 308. Our GTS was not used by a private detective but was delivered in Switzerland on the 23rd of October 1980 through Garage Ruf AG in Oftringen. The further history of the Ferrari is not known but the service booklet indicates that the Targa had been driven around 24’000 kilometres in the first two and a half years. Apparently after a longer period of storage, in September 2019, at 57’731 kilometres, a major service was performed which included a replacement of the cambelt as well as the water pump. The most recent service was performed in April 2020 at 58’782 kilometres. In June 2023 the 308 was taken over by its last owner who, at the end of 2024, has decided to reduce his collection. With now 61’300 kilometres driven, the pretty sportster is in good and well-maintained condition and will be sold with the most recent veteran MOT from October 2024. 1980 Ferrari 308 GTS Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1995-ferrari-f50-3
Following in the footsteps of the fabled F40, Ferrari’s F50 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Hugely influenced by Formula 1 design and technology at the time, at the F50 heart was a naturally aspirated V-12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 642 F1 car, campaigned during the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. With 512 bhp on tap, its Formula 1 origins and 8,000 rpm redline made the engine truly sonorous when driven as its manufacturers intended. Top speed was claimed as being 202 mph and from a standstill, the F50 would sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. As if its performance wasn’t enough, what truly set the F50 apart from its competitors at the time was its open-top body style, allowing buyers to choose from the closed comfort of a Berlinetta or the thrill of an open-top sports car, and no open-top sports car on sale at the time could match the sheer performance of the F50. Top-down, the driving experience that the F50 provided its lucky driver and passenger was a close as one could get to driving a road-legal Formula 1 car. Only 349 examples would be built, far fewer than the F40 that preceded it. The factory build of this example began on 13th October 1995, with its factory completion and date of delivery to supplying dealer noted as 28th November. The first owner of this example was a noted Ferrari collector and classic motorsports competitor, his F50 would stand apart from the others. This example is the 1st of just 4 cars to leave the factory in Grigio Argento Fer 101/C, this one uniquely optioned with seats inserts and luggage in Giallo. The colour itself, transitioned to Argento Nürburgring after the F50 production run was completed but all four silver F50s were built in and would be Classiche certified as Grigio Argento. From the official production run of cars, the colour breakdown is as follows: 302 Rosso Corsa 31 Giallo Modena 8 Rosso Barchetta 4 Nero DS 1250 4 Grigio Argento Of the 4 in Grigio Argento, all find themselves within significant collections. All are ‘Euro’ specification cars and none of the original silver cars have ever been in the USA before now. 1st Supplied new to Austria 2nd Supplied new to Japan 3rd Supplied new to UK 4th Supplied new to Holland Supplied new by Austrian dealership Wolfgang Denzel AG of Vienna, this example found custodianship with its first keeper, Mr Jean-Robert Grellet of Lustenau, Austria although the car would be registered on a German registration mark ‘DO-F50’ or Dornbirn. Grellet used the car regularly and as a keen and active member of the Ferrari club scene, he attended a number of events with the car. Throughout 1996 the car was seen often; the Radstadt club meeting, to the Girard-Perregaux F50 watch presentation in Switzerland. During the Ferrari Factory Finals at Mugello, Grellet’s F50 was the victim of practical joke gone wrong – he reported the car as stolen but some friends had ‘hidden’ the car in a nearby field and the car was relocated shortly after. His use of the car would not diminish, with the F50 being used to attend the 1996 Monegasque Ferrari club meeting and the Factory 50th Anniversary celebrations in June of 1997. The car was placed for sale in the Brooks Gstaad auction in December of 1998 having covered 22,500 km. The car was unsold on the night, with a deal taking place shortly after. The car was purchased by a prominent collector and imported into the UK in 1999 earning its UK registration mark at this time. The car visited H.R. Owen Ferrari for three services including the replacement of its dash binnacle. During a holiday to Lake Como in 2001, the F50 was pinched from a public parking garage. Two years later, the car would be registered in Japan for the first time. Protected by Japanese Civil Code that protects purchases of movable objects such as cars or jewellery, so long as they were made in good faith, the F50 would remain in Japan. Such is the strength of this code, that despite it being taken from its British owner, the insurance company could not lay claim to the car at the time. The British owner was paid out in full. Tracing the car through Japan, the F50 was first registered in Tokyo on 6th February 2003. It would stay within the care of its first owner for 8 years, during which time it would see near annual maintenance from the local garage. The car would pass through three more owners in Japan with servicing continuing with the same garage until 2014. Mileage during its time in Japan was well documented and the car saw regular servicing. In 2024, DK Engineering carried out extensive due diligence to understand the current standing of the F50. DK Engineering engaged and negotiated with all of the key stakeholders; the former owner in the UK, the former insurer and finally with Ferrari managing to negotiate and document their now lack of lien or claim. With this Ferrari agreed to remove their internal Rub marker and the car is now considered in free circulation, HPI clear, accompanied by individual confirmation letters. In August 2024 the car arrived at DK Engineering in the UK, where work would begin immediately to undertake a total restoration of the car. Having already completed two F50 restorations to Cavallino Platinum standard, the car was in the right place to be returned to its original glory. Going above and beyond a traditional service or ‘glow-up’, this example was taken back to a bare tub, with the carbon fibre re-lacquered on all visible surfaces, from the intake plenum to the cabin floors. The engine was fully separated from the tub to be totally rebuilt in house along with the gearbox. With the engine and bodywork removed, we were granted unrestricted access to the bulkhead and cabin spaces as well as the front section. The panels were refinished and restored to their original Grigio Argento hue. Mechanical works extended to a thorough overhaul of all componentry, refinishing the suspension, recoating the original exhaust and ensuring the car presents as expected. Works totalled just shy of £500,000 ($665,000) and the results should be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Documented photographically including body numbers, we are confident the car has not been damaged. Offered today is a remarkable example of Ferrari’s F50. The 1st of just 4 examples in Grigio Argento and unique with Giallo inserts. 1995 Ferrari F50 D.K. Engineering Ltd 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 Following in the footsteps of the fabled F40, Ferrari’s F50 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Hugely influenced by Formula 1 design and technology at the time, at the F50 heart was a naturally aspirated V-12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 642 F1 car, campaigned during the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. With 512 bhp on tap, its Formula 1 origins and 8,000 rpm redline made the engine truly sonorous when driven as its manufacturers intended. Top speed was claimed as being 202 mph and from a standstill, the F50 would sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. As if its performance wasn’t enough, what truly set the F50 apart from its competitors at the time was its open-top body style, allowing buyers to choose from the closed comfort of a Berlinetta or the thrill of an open-top sports car, and no open-top sports car on sale at the time could match the sheer performance of the F50. Top-down, the driving experience that the F50 provided its lucky driver and passenger was a close as one could get to driving a road-legal Formula 1 car. Only 349 examples would be built, far fewer than the F40 that preceded it. The factory build of this example began on 13th October 1995, with its factory completion and date of delivery to supplying dealer noted as 28th November. The first owner of this example was a noted Ferrari collector and classic motorsports competitor, his F50 would stand apart from the others. This example is the 1st of just 4 cars to leave the factory in Grigio Argento Fer 101/C, this one uniquely optioned with seats inserts and luggage in Giallo. The colour itself, transitioned to Argento Nürburgring after the F50 production run was completed but all four silver F50s were built in and would be Classiche certified as Grigio Argento. From the official production run of cars, the colour breakdown is as follows: 302 Rosso Corsa 31 Giallo Modena 8 Rosso Barchetta 4 Nero DS 1250 4 Grigio Argento Of the 4 in Grigio Argento, all find themselves within significant collections. All are ‘Euro’ specification cars and none of the original silver cars have ever been in the USA before now. 1st Supplied new to Austria 2nd Supplied new to Japan 3rd Supplied new to UK 4th Supplied new to Holland Supplied new by Austrian dealership Wolfgang Denzel AG of Vienna, this example found custodianship with its first keeper, Mr Jean-Robert Grellet of Lustenau, Austria although the car would be registered on a German registration mark ‘DO-F50’ or Dornbirn. Grellet used the car regularly and as a keen and active member of the Ferrari club scene, he attended a number of events with the car. Throughout 1996 the car was seen often; the Radstadt club meeting, to the Girard-Perregaux F50 watch presentation in Switzerland. During the Ferrari Factory Finals at Mugello, Grellet’s F50 was the victim of practical joke gone wrong – he reported the car as stolen but some friends had ‘hidden’ the car in a nearby field and the car was relocated shortly after. His use of the car would not diminish, with the F50 being used to attend the 1996 Monegasque Ferrari club meeting and the Factory 50th Anniversary celebrations in June of 1997. The car was placed for sale in the Brooks Gstaad auction in December of 1998 having covered 22,500 km. The car was unsold on the night, with a deal taking place shortly after. The car was purchased by a prominent collector and imported into the UK in 1999 earning its UK registration mark at this time. The car visited H.R. Owen Ferrari for three services including the replacement of its dash binnacle. During a holiday to Lake Como in 2001, the F50 was pinched from a public parking garage. Two years later, the car would be registered in Japan for the first time. Protected by Japanese Civil Code that protects purchases of movable objects such as cars or jewellery, so long as they were made in good faith, the F50 would remain in Japan. Such is the strength of this code, that despite it being taken from its British owner, the insurance company could not lay claim to the car at the time. The British owner was paid out in full. Tracing the car through Japan, the F50 was first registered in Tokyo on 6th February 2003. It would stay within the care of its first owner for 8 years, during which time it would see near annual maintenance from the local garage. The car would pass through three more owners in Japan with servicing continuing with the same garage until 2014. Mileage during its time in Japan was well documented and the car saw regular servicing. In 2024, DK Engineering carried out extensive due diligence to understand the current standing of the F50. DK Engineering engaged and negotiated with all of the key stakeholders; the former owner in the UK, the former insurer and finally with Ferrari managing to negotiate and document their now lack of lien or claim. With this Ferrari agreed to remove their internal Rub marker and the car is now considered in free circulation, HPI clear, accompanied by individual confirmation letters. In August 2024 the car arrived at DK Engineering in the UK, where work would begin immediately to undertake a total restoration of the car. Having already completed two F50 restorations to Cavallino Platinum standard, the car was in the right place to be returned to its original glory. Going above and beyond a traditional service or ‘glow-up’, this example was taken back to a bare tub, with the carbon fibre re-lacquered on all visible surfaces, from the intake plenum to the cabin floors. The engine was fully separated from the tub to be totally rebuilt in house along with the gearbox. With the engine and bodywork removed, we were granted unrestricted access to the bulkhead and cabin spaces as well as the front section. The panels were refinished and restored to their original Grigio Argento hue. Mechanical works extended to a thorough overhaul of all componentry, refinishing the suspension, recoating the original exhaust and ensuring the car presents as expected. Works totalled just shy of £500,000 ($665,000) and the results should be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Documented photographically including body numbers, we are confident the car has not been damaged. Offered today is a remarkable example of Ferrari’s F50. The 1st of just 4 examples in Grigio Argento and unique with Giallo inserts. Other Cars from D.K.

- 1990-porsche-911-restored-and-reimagined-by-singer
Singer Vehicle Design was founded in 2009 to both preserve and optimize the famed air-cooled Porsche 911. The 964 model Porsche became the perfect foundation for Singer's work possessing the ideal combination of classic air-cooled Porsche traits combined with a sophisticated footing in the vital areas of the vehicle's dynamics. Inspiration is taken from the classic road racing era of the Porsche during the 1970s and can be seen in almost every detail around the car including the 'Butzi' Porsche-inspired bodywork. This example was ordered new in July 2015 and completed in the supremely elegant Blue Blood Dark paintwork, complimented by the wheels and bumperettes finished in RS Nickel and Nickel respectively, over an elegant Cognac interior. Mechanically, this example sees all the great options ticked, the 4.0 litre engine, 6-speed close-ratio gearbox, Singer Brembo Big Brake upgrade with black brake calipers, Öhlins Sport Adjustable suspension and a plated engine air intake manifold. Inside, the car sees a traditional German box-weave carpet, as would be seen traditionally in early 911s and 356s, air-conditioning and the upgraded woven leather. The sills, central tunnel and rear are all trimmed in leather and furthermore, the woven leather extends to the door cards. The drivers zone was ordered from Singer with an 'off-menu' 1964 early 911 gauge set. In 2021, this example returned to Singer USA for a period of two years undergoing a number of works including, but not limited to, fitment of the latest integrated Porsche Classic satellite navigation system with iPod connectivity, re-plating of the nickel, fitment of new tyres, and importantly changing the 8-way electrically adjustable Recaro buckets for the single-piece buckets. Notably, both seats accompany the car offering the new owner two different seating setups. With only 3,300 kilometers from new, this Singer Classic ticks all the right boxes and presents superbly and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner, fresh from a service, PDI and remedial works carried out at Singer UK July 2025. 1990 Porsche 911 Restored and Reimagined by Singer D.K.

- 1966-chevrolet-corvette
An extraordinary well documented L72 C2 Corvette with extensive pedigree Previously Part of The World Renowned Ottis Chandler Collection Duntov Mark of Excellence Award Multiple NCRS Top Flight Awards Performance Verification Award Original 1967 Dealer Purchase Paperwork on File Engine pad stamping and trim tag verified by Corvette expert Al Grenning Dual Side Exhaust, Tinted Windshield, and Positraction Widely regarded to be one of the greatest sports cars of the 60's, and one of the greatest Corvettes of all time, the C2 generation or “Sting Ray” is an American icon. Introduced for the 1963 model year, the cars were an instant hit. 1965 was an important year, with the introduction of disc brakes all around for the first time and also marked the arrival of the big block engines (initially 396cid and then 427cid for 1966 and 1967). For 1966, the big block engine was available in 390hp or the top of the range 425hp engine, although early 1966 427 engines were actually rated at 450hp before being revised (on paper only) to 425hp to satisfy insurance companies and government regulators. This particular Corvette is an exceptional example. Not only is it a desirable specification, matching numbers car in its original and attractive colors, it has covered just over 30,000 miles and has been restored to NCRS award-winning standards. The car was originally sold on 19 July 1966 and was purchased at Van Praag-Chandler Inc. in Paris, Illinois on 19 May 1967 to a Gerald Mitchener, who traded his 1963 Chevrolet convertible toward the car. The included bill of sale indicates the following options: 4-speed transmission, tinted windscreen, AM/FM radio, transistor ignition, side exhaust, positraction, and L72 425hp engine. The color is also noted as being blue with blue interior. The car comes with its original Protect-O-Plate. The car was comprehensively restored (photo documentation is included) in 1990, at which time it was owned by the well-known collector and LA Times Publisher Otis Chandler. The restoration was performed to the highest standards, and indeed, the car went on to win 3 NCRS Top Flight awards in 2001-2002, as well as a Performance Verification Award, which together earned the car a Duntov Mark of Excellence Award in 2002. Judging sheets are included. The car was restored in its original colors of Laguna Blue (978) with blue vinyl interior (418BA). The engine case stamping and trim plate were both verified by Corvette expert Al Grenning. The car was subsequently owned by Marc Andreessen (founder of Netscape and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz) before being sold to a previous owner, also a resident of California. Today, the Roadster remains in exceptional condition, a testament to its careful ownership and high quality restoration, with only a couple thousand miles driven since the restoration. The body displays excellent workmanship and high quality paint and finishes throughout all components – from topside to undercarriage, while the cabin is equally nice and still suitable for showing. The indicated mileage of 32,285 is from new. The car is a pleasure to drive. The engine has a fantastic lumpy character that signals that the car means business, an impression that is underscored by the fact that the car rocks when it's revved. It is very well-tuned, with tremendous torque and power, while the exhaust note is fantastic and the car provides the inimitable big block experience that exists only in American cars. Ready for immediate display or touring, here is an exceptional opportunity for a noteworthy big block Stingray Convertible. A beautifully restored, matching-numbers, award-winning 30,000-mile example, this car has a distinctive and attractive original color combination, and is a truly exciting well-dialed car. It is complete with extensive photo documentation from the restoration, numerous awards including its Top Flight awards, judging sheets, and bill of sale from 1967. 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1985-porsche-930-turbo-s-slantnose
This 1985 930 Turbo S was ordered from the factory with the flat-nose bodywork, painted in Black with a matching black leather interior. It was delivered new to Hamburg, Germany, and in the mid-1990s, was imported to the United States via Texas. The car lived in the United States for ten years, residing in both Missouri and Massachusetts before going back across the pond to Germany once again in 2006. Presenting in exceptional condition, the car has received some paint work but never a full re-spray, and it recently underwent a thorough paint correction prior to sale. Sitting on a set of original RUF 5-spoke wheels, these, too, have been completely refurbished with silver-painted centers and polished lips. Sitting out the back is a custom-made quad-tip exhaust, which is a signature 930 Turbo S piece that was painstakingly replicated during the engine rebuild, as Porsche no longer makes this piece. The black leather interior has received some upgrades over the years but all of them are high-quality and period-correct. The first thing you notice when you swing open the door is the two Recaro Classic seats in place of the standard Porsche units. These seats offer better bolsters, improved comfort, and power adjustability on top of the thigh bolster. Additionally, the 3-spoke Italvolanti steering wheel was ordered through Sonderwunsch, and the gauge cluster has been upgraded with a large boost gauge to the right of the speedometer and an air-fuel gauge in the lower dash binnacle. Although it isn’t known when some of these upgrades were made, they are all era-appropriate and don’t look out of place in the cabin of this 930. Powered by the same 3.3-liter air-cooled single turbocharged flat-6 as the regular 930, Flachbau cars were almost always upgraded to “WLS” specifications. WLS is the abbreviation of Werksleistungssteigerung, which translates to Works Performance Increase, and was the factory tuning package that could be specified on RoW 930s. This increased power from 296 horsepower on the standard car to 325, and torque increased from 304 to 319 lb-ft. It also gave the car quad exit exhaust and an additional oil cooler to handle the additional power. Open the rear bonnet on this car and you can tell that it recently received a complete rebuild to extremely exacting standards. The engine bay is incredibly clean and looks better than when it came out of the Porsche factory. In the last year alone, more than €100,000 was spent on restoration work - predominately at Roitmayer Motor Sport in Munich, Germany. In addition to the engine rebuild, this 930 received performance cams, a KKK TTE550 turbocharger and custom headers and exhaust. A recent dyno run showed a horsepower rating of 412 hp (418 PS) and the addition of a modern turbo means that power comes on in a more linear way than on the original 930 making the car far more enjoyable to drive. This is emphasized even further by installing a new Drexler limited slip differential and a sport clutch and flywheel for the car’s 4-speed manual gearbox. The Porsche 930 Turbo is a legend in its own right, but if you really want to stand out, there is nothing that does the job better than a 930 Turbo S Flachbau. Not only is this example one of the rare few with a factory-installed slant nose, but with the recent engine work by marque specialists, it is sure to be one of the best driving anywhere. Offered with an enormous stack of invoices, this 930 Turbo S Flachbau is not one to miss. 1985 Porsche 930 Turbo S Slantnose ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright This 1985 930 Turbo S was ordered from the factory with the flat-nose bodywork, painted in Black with a matching black leather interior. It was delivered new to Hamburg, Germany, and in the mid-1990s, was imported to the United States via Texas. The car lived in the United States for ten years, residing in both Missouri and Massachusetts before going back across the pond to Germany once again in 2006. Presenting in exceptional condition, the car has received some paint work but never a full re-spray, and it recently underwent a thorough paint correction prior to sale. Sitting on a set of original RUF 5-spoke wheels, these, too, have been completely refurbished with silver-painted centers and polished lips. Sitting out the back is a custom-made quad-tip exhaust, which is a signature 930 Turbo S piece that was painstakingly replicated during the engine rebuild, as Porsche no longer makes this piece. The black leather interior has received some upgrades over the years but all of them are high-quality and period-correct. The first thing you notice when you swing open the door is the two Recaro Classic seats in place of the standard Porsche units. These seats offer better bolsters, improved comfort, and power adjustability on top of the thigh bolster. Additionally, the 3-spoke Italvolanti steering wheel was ordered through Sonderwunsch, and the gauge cluster has been upgraded with a large boost gauge to the right of the speedometer and an air-fuel gauge in the lower dash binnacle. Although it isn’t known when some of these upgrades were made, they are all era-appropriate and don’t look out of place in the cabin of this 930. Powered by the same 3.3-liter air-cooled single turbocharged flat-6 as the regular 930, Flachbau cars were almost always upgraded to “WLS” specifications. WLS is the abbreviation of Werksleistungssteigerung, which translates to Works Performance Increase, and was the factory tuning package that could be specified on RoW 930s. This increased power from 296 horsepower on the standard car to 325, and torque increased from 304 to 319 lb-ft. It also gave the car quad exit exhaust and an additional oil cooler to handle the additional power. Open the rear bonnet on this car and you can tell that it recently received a complete rebuild to extremely exacting standards. The engine bay is incredibly clean and looks better than when it came out of the Porsche factory. In the last year alone, more than €100,000 was spent on restoration work - predominately at Roitmayer Motor Sport in Munich, Germany.

- 1965-porsche-911-2l-fia
Few sports cars have proven as versatile as Porsche's timeless 911, a model that has proven itself capable of being a true grand tourer as well as a rally and circuit car over the past 50 years. A "modern classic" if ever there was one, the 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 901, but shortly after it went into production in 1964 became the 911, following a complaint from Peugeot, which had filed a complaint about the use of the central zero for its models. The rear overhung engine architecture of its 356 predecessor was retained, but the 911 used a monocoque structure for its construction and abandoned the Volkswagen-derived suspension of the 356 in favor of a more modern strut and trailing arm McPherson system. In its first incarnation, Porsche's 1991cc air-cooled, single overhead cam flat six developed 130 bhp. When Porsche began to look at ways to improve its successful 356 model in the mid-1950s, it quickly became apparent that a simple evolution would not be enough. The potential changes to the 356 were such that an entirely new model had to be developed. The new Porsche would offer more space for occupants, as well as sufficient storage space for a set of golf clubs. The performance level of the new model was to match that of the 356 Carrera 2, while retaining the refinement of the 'normal' 356. The basic platform layout was to be retained, as well as the familiar Porsche silhouette. Ferdinand, Ferry Porsche's eldest son, was responsible for the design, developing the chassis and bodywork, while his cousin, Ferdinand Piëch, developed the air-cooled flat-six. The first advertisements for the new car stated: "... to design and build - almost without compromise - the ultimate car for getting from one point to another in the fastest, safest and most enjoyable way possible." The 911 is new in every detail, but it is undeniably a Porsche. Thanks to Ferdinand Piëch, the 901/911 was designed as a racing car from the beginning. This is particularly clear in the engine design with its dry sump and overflow Solex carburetors, both of which were developed in racing to make the engine run more smoothly. The overflow carburetors were unfortunately to prove unsuitable for road use. As early as 1964, the factory had equipped ten 904s with the six-cylinder 911 and named them 906s (which is the prefix of their chassis number). This led to confusion with the 906 Carrera 6, so the name 904/6 was preferred. These 904-906s were used to test the 901 engine for competition use in the 911. As it seemed to work well, it was decided not to wait any longer and to enter a 904/6 in the 49th Targa Florio. The race was won by a Ferrari 275 P2. The Italians did well to savour this victory, because the next five editions were won by Porsches. Second place went to an eight-cylinder Spyder 904 Kanguruh followed by a 904/6 (Maglioli-Linge) with a 901 engine. This was the first race appearance of the six-cylinder 911 in a version boosted to 210 hp at 8,000 rpm (901/20 engine). During the course of the year, this engine proved to be remarkably reliable. The green light was therefore given for the creation of a sports version of the 901 for the 911 S. The 911, a sedan? At the time of the 911's racing debut, it was still possible to enter identical cars powered by different engines in different classes. Of course, this required discussions with FIA officials. Fortunately, Porsche could count on the diplomatic skills of Huschke von Hanstein to obtain homologation for the 11 and 911L in Group 2 (touring cars) and the 911T and 911S in Grand Touring (Group 3). Even a lightweight, unbroken 911T like a 911S is approved as a GT car with a dry weight of 923 kg. The reason for the FIA's tolerance is that the first competition 911s were very similar to the production models, at least until the A-series. The only changes were in ride height and torsion bar settings. The gearboxes could be fitted with gears suitable for all kinds of competition. From the point of view of the regulations, Porsche had an unquestionable advantage because the FIA considered the 911 to be a sedan, which even allowed it to take part in certain races where sports cars were forbidden. The commercial benefits were nil as the public considered the victories to be unfair, as the 911s were obviously GTs. The only drawback was that in Group 2 (Touring) and Group 3 (GT), the 911s could not benefit from any increase in engine capacity above 2 liter. Of course, the 911s entered in the Prototype Class could have engines with increased displacement within the limits of the regulations. If the increase in displacement was forbidden, it was of course possible to increase the power. For this purpose, Porsche had obtained the approval of "kits". For the 911 and 911L, they made it possible to easily reach 160 hp. The engine was then called "Rallye" or 2000R. For the 911T and S, the factory supplied an engine identical to that of the Carrera 6, but without the dual ignition. An even more advanced version (with titanium connecting rods) was available, which was reserved for the 911T racing cars. Rallye de Monte-Carlo 1965 : This year, to everyone's surprise, a 904 finished second overall in the 34th Monte Carlo Rally. It was driven by Böhringer (a private hotelier and former Mercedes racer) with Wütherich (James Dean's mechanic) as co-driver. The winning car was a Mini Cooper, much better suited to the terrible winter conditions of 1965, and no one foresaw that Porsches would ever beat the Mini. Just as no one noticed the participation of a 911, the fiftieth 911 to come off the Zuffenhausen production line, whose baptism of fire in competition was the first of its kind. Driven by the extremely experienced factory driver Herbert Linge and engineer Peter Falk, it finished an astonishing fifth overall and second in class. Season 1965: Porsche's participation in the other rounds of the European Rally Championship was a failure. It must be said that Huschke von Hanstein did not consider this to be an activity worthy of great financial effort. Even when rallying becomes a Porsche specialty, it will be with derisory means compared to those devoted to prototypes. It is true that the publicity given to Porsche by the results of the 917 prototypes will somewhat overshadow the rally victories of the small 911. It took all the persuasion and talent of Vic Elford to get Huschke von Hanstein to admit that this was an opportunity not to be missed. 24 Hours of Le Mans 1966: Another historic event that goes unnoticed: the first participation of a 911 at Le Mans. It was a virtually original 911S, 1965 model (chassis 303.355), which was entered in the GT category (under number 35) by Jacques Dewez. Driven by Kerguen and "Franc" (Dewez), it finished fourteenth in the distance classification and twelfth in the performance index at an average speed of 159 km/h. At the end of the race, it was put up for sale and left as it had arrived, by road. Our car: Purchased by the current owner in 2019, our car already has many years of Historic racing under its belt. It will therefore be regularly entered in Peter Auto races and rallies. The car will receive comprehensive and regular maintenance, as evidenced by its invoice records. Major work (engine and gearbox) has been carried out by Berto Moteurs and, since 2021, by Mecacomponent, which provides support. With its valid PTH, it is the ideal car for numerous historic races or rallies and outings with friends. This is an opportunity to acquire a superb 1965 Porsche 911 racing car! Eligible for the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic and, above all, the highly competitive 2.0L Cup one-make championship. 1965 Porsche 911 2L FIA Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1970-mercedes-benz-280se
Auto Storica is pleased to announce the sale of this Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 (W111) If Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with luxury, quality, comfort, and performance, it is thanks to vehicles like the W111 generation, one of the finest automobiles manufactured by the Stuttgart firm. The beautiful coupé version, designed by the famous Paul Bracq, was presented to the public in 1961 at the brand's own museum. While the front end was almost identical to the sedan, from the A-pillar onwards its design became more avant-garde and modern. The absence of a B-pillar, the ability to lower the rear windows, and the large rear window provided ample light into the cabin, while also giving it a modern and very elegant presence. Under the hood lies the most powerful engine offered for this generation, introduced almost at the end of its commercial life. A 3.5-liter V8 delivering 200 hp and a considerable torque of 286 Nm, enough to move its 1,500 kilos with ease on any road and in any circumstance. Its interior is in excellent condition and is equipped with all the comforts of the era, adding exotic original extras such as the electric sunroof. Only 3,270 units of this V8 Coupé were manufactured before production ceased in 1971. How many remain today? And how many are in this condition? Whether you've been looking for a W111 coupé for a while or just fell in love with it, don't miss the opportunity to visit it at our facilities. 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Auto Storica If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The beautiful coupé version, designed by the famous Paul Bracq, was presented to the public in 1961 at the brand's own museum. While the front end was almost identical to the sedan, from the A-pillar onwards its design became more avant-garde and modern. The absence of a B-pillar, the ability to lower the rear windows, and the large rear window provided ample light into the cabin, while also giving it a modern and very elegant presence. Under the hood lies the most powerful engine offered for this generation, introduced almost at the end of its commercial life. A 3.5-liter V8 delivering 200 hp and a considerable torque of 286 Nm, enough to move its 1,500 kilos with ease on any road and in any circumstance. Its interior is in excellent condition and is equipped with all the comforts of the era, adding exotic original extras such as the electric sunroof. Only 3,270 units of this V8 Coupé were manufactured before production ceased in 1971. How many remain today? And how many are in this condition? Whether you've been looking for a W111 coupé for a while or just fell in love with it, don't miss the opportunity to visit it at our facilities.
