For Ferrari’s 40th anniversary in 1987, they wanted to produce a special, limited-run car to commemorate the occasion. Known as the F40, it set the car world on fire upon its release- an unbelievably aggressive design created through the extensive use of carbon fiber and paired with a powerful 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 made the F40 the fastest car on sale. Journalists and enthusiasts who were lucky enough to get behind the wheel of the F40 couldn’t get enough of the thrilling driving experience and it instantly became an automotive icon. Once F40 production ended in 1992, Ferrari needed to get to work on their next limited edition supercar for their upcoming 50th anniversary celebration. They didn’t want to just rehash the F40- their new car, known as the F50, needed to be completely different. At its core, the F40 was a rather primitive car, based around a tubular steel chassis, carbon kevlar was present to help with rigidity while keeping the weight down. For their follow-up, Ferrari knew they wanted to show off their technical prowess- utilizing their first all carbon fiber tub, the vehicle was both stronger and lighter than an F40 and the exterior design was based off the 1989 Mythos concept car but refined for road use and with some added Formula 1 design elements. To keep with the F1 theme, Ferrari elected to fit their new car with a naturally aspirated V12 which had ties to the engine used in their 1990 Formula 1 car. Displacement was increased to 4.7-liters and the stratospheric redline in the race car was reduced to keep the engine reliable, but it was still capable of producing 512 horsepower at 8,000RPM and was enough to push the F50 over 200 miles per hour. This engine sent power through a 6-speed manual transaxle at the rear-making this the final halo vehicle to come out of Maranello with 3 pedals. Another unique race-inspired feature of the F50 was that the engine and gearbox were used as stressed members of the chassis. With no rear subframe assembly, the engine is bolted directly into the rear bulkhead and the transaxle behind it has the rear inboard suspension affixed to the top of it. This design feature makes the F50 feel like a competition car and gives the occupants an exceptionally visceral experience. The interior of the F50s features large swaths of exposed carbon chassis and a pair of heavily bolstered bucket seats, upholstered in leather with textile centers matched to the exterior color . Upon its debut, Ferrari announced it would only produce 349 F50s or “one less than we think we can sell”. After their F40 production number debacle, this time, they truly did stick to that number-making it one of the rarest modern Ferraris. This 1996 Ferrari F50 is car number 197 out of the 349 built and was delivered new on October 16th, 1996. Sold through dealer and exporter LIGHTSPEED S.R.L., the car was sent to Japan where it was registered by Katougumidoken Ltd.- a local property development and building company. During this time, the ownership of the car changed numerous times but all to trusted people within the company before the car was acquired by Aplus Finance-the company’s creditor, in 2005. The F50 remained in Japan under three fastidious owners before being sold to Switzerland in 2014. Prior to its sale, one of the Japanese owners put the car through Ferrari Classiche certification at the Japanese Ferrari dealership Cornes, which also handled all of the servicing and a gauge cluster replacement in January 2014. Upon showing up in Switzerland, the car showed just 13,200 km and was still in excellent overall condition. In March 2021, the car was sold out of Switzerland and into the United States-the previous owner had used the car sparingly, now showing a total of 13,500 km. When the car landed in the US, it underwent a comprehensive service- having not been serviced for some time, a full service was performed which included inspecting valve lash, resealing cam covers, and a full fluid replacement to make sure it was in top running condition for the new owner. At the same time, the fuel bladder was replaced as it was nearing the end of its service life and an alignment was performed and new tires installed. This service spanned more than 3 months and ended up with a bill of over $58,000, but now this F50 is ready to be driven and enjoyed with just 50 miles added since its completion. Ferrari has hinted that they will not produce any more manual transmissions and with ever-increasing regulations surrounding fuel economy and emissions, the naturally aspirated V12 will likely be disappearing soon as well. This means that the F50 will stand forever as a high point for Ferrari- a supercar with Formula 1 technology, a removable roof and one of the most melodious engines ever. Included with the sale of the car is the original owners manuals, service records, Ferrari Certificate of Authenticity, small in car tool kit and the F50 flight case built to store the hard top and roll bars. 1996 Ferrari F50 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The most intriguing feature of Shelby’s new-for-1967 Mustang styling was a pair of red marker lights mounted in scoops along the top of the rear sail panels. These lights were quickly ruled illegal in numerous states, though not before 200 or so Mustangs had been shipped from Shelby American’s Los Angeles factory. These so-called “upper scoop light” cars thus represent the earliest and most distinctive LA-built versions of Carroll Shelby’s highly coveted GT350—complete with their telltale features as Shelby originally intended. Delivered new to Lynch-Davidson Ford of Jacksonville, Florida on 12 December 1966, this exceptionally early, correct, and well-documented example of an “upper scoop light” GT350 Fastback is presented today in factory-correct Dark Moss Green over black vinyl. A copy of its original Shelby sales order shows that it has always been equipped with the host of desirable options still present today. These include power steering, power disc brakes, shoulder harnesses, push-button AM radio, 15-inch Kelsey-Hayes deluxe “mag star” wheels, the extra cooling package, and a four-speed “top loader” manual transmission paired with the signature Hi-Po 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine. This car is just the 12th GT350 produced for the model year, and in addition to the scoop lights, it exhibits a host of other important “as delivered” features that are distinct—and exclusive to—these very early ’67 Mustangs. At the front—just aft of the steel-framed fiberglass hood—the car’s one-piece grill is a pair of inboard high-beam lights, while the model’s signature flat gas cap bisects the rear fascia. Inside, the correct six-point roll bar is tucked behind the front seats, and the car’s set of 15-inch “mag star” wheels are shod in Goodyear Speedway 350 tires with 1¼-in lettering, befitting an early 1967 appearance. Tasteful improvements made by previous owners are limited to the white Le Mans-style stripes, and a Carroll Shelby-signed glovebox door. Sympathetically restored to original specifications under previous ownership, the car’s impressive history file demonstrates known provenance from new, alongside a comprehensive suite of Shelby American documentation. Amazingly, GT350 number 12 remains remarkably correct throughout and exhibits an astounding amount of original sheet metal, no doubt thanks to a comprehensive Ziebart undercoating, which it received quite early in its life, and subsequently being kept 13 years in dry storage. Now offered for the first time ever at auction, this incredibly early and well-documented GT350 Fastback is surely among the finest examples of its rarified breed. Having been previously restored with an extraordinary attention to detail, the fact that it comes supplied with a trove of important Shelby American documentation and is still powered by its numbers-matching engine are both tremendous supplements to its already-considerable allure. 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

With only 8000 being built, and most of those being sold new in Germany, any BMW Z1 is a rare car in the UK, but this car has a particularly fascinating history. It was originally delivered to Japanese tuning specialist Tommykaira. The Kyoto-based company was the official Hartge agent for Japan, and it’s thought that it carried out at least a partial Hartge upgrade on this Z1. These modifications were available as a complete package or as individual elements, and included the option of an engine upgrade that lengthened the stroke, increasing capacity to 2693cc. Along with a higher compression ratio and changes to the Bosch Motronic management system, that helped to boost power from 170bhp to 205bhp. Owners could also specify larger wheels and tyres, bigger front brake discs, a different final-drive ratio and sports suspension as part of the Hartge upgrades. This Z1 was sold in 1997 by a Kyoto-based specialist to Yosuke Yamamoto, and he brought it with him when he moved to the UK the following year. Shortly afterwards, Yamamoto went right through the car, retrimming the interior in grey leather and red nubuck, overhauling the running gear, replacing the soft-top, and repainting the front bumper. He sold the Z1 when he returned to Japan in 2009, by which time the car still had less than 50,000km on the clock. It stayed in the UK and in 2013 was sold to a BMW enthusiast who stored it for three years, before deciding to have it recommissioned by Z1 specialist Ivor Dadswell. What started out as some light work turned into a 12-month process, during which Dadswell went right through the car. Most body panels were removed, along with the seats and most of the trim, and the red nubuck was renewed. All wheelarch liners were replaced, the mechanism for the famous door actuation was overhauled, and the owner managed to source an original set of Hartge alloys, which were refurbished and fitted to the car. The Z1 was subsequently dyno’d at 176bhp, which certainly suggests that it received at least some Hartge engine upgrades, given that the standard power output when new was only 170bhp. This stylish, distinctive roadster has been used sparingly over the past few years, and fastidiously maintained along the way. It was given a full service in July 2024, which included four-wheel alignment, and is now being offered for sale as a rare example of one of BMW’s most memorable modern classics. 1989 BMW Z1 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

While most GTAs were either supplied in “Stradale” form or subsequently upgraded to “Corsa” specification after delivery, AR752675 was destined for competition from the outset. A Certificato di Origine on file confirms that the car was manufactured on 8 September 1965 and is believed to have been delivered to the renowned Autotecnica Conrero Team on 31 August 1966—unusually, in right-hand-drive form. One of the most celebrated privateers in Italy, Autotecnica Conrero was established in 1951 and quickly established a stellar reputation for tuning Alfa Romeos and racing them to victory around the world. It is believed this car was almost immediately repainted in the Conrero colors of white with a yellow noseband, after which AR752675 was raced extensively under the Conrero/“Jolly Club” banner. In 1969, the car was sold to privateer Siegfried Kopcke, who raced the car in German Touring Car events. The following year, the car was sold to fellow competitor Dieter Machatius, apparently with a blown engine. The GTA would remain in Germany for a long period of time, although in the 1970s and 1980s it endured prolonged periods of inactivity, punctuated by occasional use as a road car. It was then purchased by another individual—a noted GTA authority—in 1995 and was subsequently completely restored to “as new” condition. One of the hallmarks of the GTA was its usage of an alloy body shell and extensive use of magnesium components, and it is important to note that this car retains a number of those desirable magnesium parts, including the oil pan and magnesium valve covers. The car also carries a proper GTA transmission and Autodelta rear axle, as well as the very desirable first-series Campagnolo magnesium wheels. Attesting to its competition history, the original Conrero plate can be found on the dashboard, and its original homologation number can be found stamped in the trunk. Equally at home on road or track, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored example of one of Alfa Romeo’s milestone designs, with period racing history, enticing provenance, and a world of possibilities available to its next owner. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Short, stubby and simply unstoppable Short, stubby and simply unstoppable, the Lancia Stratos HF won a staggering 18 World Rally events and no fewer than three World Rally Championships. Its formidable performance can be attributed largely to Marcello Gandini, the design wunderkind who, working under the Bertone banner, single-handedly revolutionised the world of car design. The introduction of the Stratos in 1970 heralded the era of the ‘wedge’ and petrolheads simply had no idea what they were in for. Game-changer – the Lancia Stratos HF changed the automotive landscape for good Arguably the very first thoroughbred rally car, no stone was left unturned by Lancia and Bertone’s designers and engineers in the quest for performance. The Stratos’ desperately short wheelbase (just 2.18 metres) coupled with its 880kg weight meant it was positively nimble and direct. It took a skip-full of skill to master it, which explains why Sandro Munari ranks so highly in our list of great drivers. “It took a skip-full of skill to master the Stratos, which explains why Sandro Munari ranks so highly in our list of great drivers.” For the heart of its new car, Lancia approached Ferrari, a company whose legend was forged around the power and reliability of its engines. A 2.4-litre six-cylinder ‘Dino’ engine was chosen and tucked transversely right behind the cabin. It produced a mighty 300HP in Corsa spec. And it sounded a rabid dog barking for its life. Crucially, the rallying rules of the time dictated that 500 road-specification cars were to be built in order to homologate a competition variant. In typically Italian fashion, Lancia didn’t manage to do that. It’s estimated that 492 Stratos HFs left the marque’s Chivasso plant, of which this fascinating Group IV-specification road-racing example from 1975 is one. The Rino Fabbri Stratos Among the most famous period competition Lancia Stratos’ of them all, this Group IV-specification example, chassis number 001915, is more commonly known as the Rino Fabbri car. Born as a yellow HF Stradale in 1975, this Stratos was sent to the legendary Italian engineer and racing driver Carlo Facetti to be upgraded to full Group IV competition specification. Facetti is an extremely rare case in the world of motorsport – a man as gifted behind the wheel as he was proficient at preparing and setting up a diverse range of competition cars. A former factory driver for both Alfa Romeo and Lancia, Facetti won the European Touring Car Championship in 1979 and the Stratos Turbo Group V he designed for the Works took outright victory in the 1976 Giro d’Italia. He also happened to assist the Lancia factory with the development of a Group IV competition Stratos for road racing rather than rallying – a car which Facetti himself raced under the Works Lancia Marlboro banner. Chassis 001915 was treated to the very same makeover, including receiving Facetti’s signature Kugelfischer fuel injection system. The first registered keeper of this Stratos, the Milanese Lancia concessionaire Mocauto, entrusted the Works-assisted Jolly Club outfit with contesting the Italian GT Championship in the Group IV category. As a generous sponsorship package was sought from the Italian publishing house Rino Fabbri Editore, so this Lancia’s fantastic yellow, green and blue Rino Fabbri Racing livery was born. The ‘PROVA MI 1654’ registration hints at the car’s factory origins. Carlo Facetti and Gianfranco Ricci en route to second overall in the 1976 Targa Florio Raced predominantly by Gianfranco Ricci, the veteran Italian multi-discipline racing driver affectionately known as ‘The Flying Dentist’ thanks to his daily profession, chassis 001915 entered 10 events in 1976, winning the Italian GT Championship in emphatic fashion. Standout results for the Rino Fabbri Stratos included second overall and first in class in the Targa Florio, where Ricci and Facetti finished only behind an Osella prototype, and a class victory in the year-ending Giro d’Italia Automobilistico. Ricci was joined by Michèle Espinosi-Petit (aka ‘Biche’) for the Giro d’Italia in 1976 The latter was a mammoth four-day race across Italy, encompassing the country’s greatest roads and racetracks and attracting the major manufacturers and hot-shoe pilots alike. Until a mechanical malady slowed proceedings somewhat, Ricci – who was joined in the cockpit by the famous French female navigator Michèle Espinosi-Petit, better known by her pseudonym ‘Biche’ – was reportedly dicing for the lead. Rino Fabbri Racing even topped the timesheets after one especially wet special stage, ahead of the Works Stratos Turbos. “At the Six Hours of Vallelunga, the Rino Fabbri Stratos earned Lancia its only World Championship points for 1976.” Furthermore, in finishing on the Group IV podium (eighth overall) in the Six Hours of Vallelunga, round two of the World Championship for Makes, Ricci and teammate Renzo Zorzi earned Lancia its only points on the world stage for the year. An equally jam-packed roster of races across the European GT Championship, Italian GT Speed Championships and the European Hill Climb Championship awaited the Rino Fabbri Stratos in 1977. Chassis 001915 was acquired by the Italian gentleman driver Claudio Magnani, though the recognisable Rino Fabbri livery remained and Jolly Club continued to prepare and run the car. And with considerable success – Magnani won the CSAI Cup for Group IV cars up to 2,500cc in 1977 and ’78. Claudio Magnani helped to earn the Rino Fabbri Stratos its second Giro d’Italia class victory in 1978 The highlight of 1978, however, was arguably the Giro d’Italia Automobilistico, in which Magnani was joined by Leo Pittoni and a young Sergio Cresto. In finishing third overall, the trio added a second Group IV Giro d’Italia class victory to this Stratos’ record. Magnani reluctantly sold his beloved Stratos ahead of the 1979 season, its new owner Giovanni Alberti picking up where the last one left off, winning the CSAI Cup once again and scoring a third Giro d’Italia class victory after a busy year of domestic Italian competition. Clearly regretting his decision, Magnani reacquired chassis 001915 in 1980, by this point finished in plain white, and returned to the Italian racing scene under the new alias ‘Mac’. When the transporter (almost) outshines its cargo… While an agonisingly late retirement in the season-opening Monza di 1000km (round four of the World Championship for Makes) was not the return Magnani had hoped for, fortune favoured him during the remainder of the year and he made it a hattrick of CSAI Cup Group IV titles for the veteran Stratos. After seven years and more than 65 events, Magnani honourably retired this Stratos from active competition in 1983. He exhibited the car sparingly through the 1990s and 2000s, until 2010, when in what was an entirely fitting full-circle moment for this most special of competition Lancias, it was returned to Carlo Facetti to be painstakingly restored to its original specification. Once the Rino Fabbri Racing Stratos was completed, a summit was held at the Facetti & Luigino workshop. Present were Carlo Facetti and his brother Giuliano and Claudio Magnani, in addition to the car’s former driver Gianfranco Ricci and Giovanni Fabbri, brother of the late Rino Fabbri – the publishing magnate behind this Stratos’ evocative livery. In the summer of 2022, a longstanding US-based client tasked us with sourcing a great Lancia Stratos HF with competition history. Utilising our global network, we were able to identify the legendary Rino Fabbri Racing car – amazingly still in the custody of Claudio Magnani after 42 years – as a potential candidate. Following an inspection after which our specialists were satisfied with the condition, originality and provenance of chassis 001915, we negotiated to purchase the car on behalf of our client. Before we delivered this Stratos to its new owner, we sent chassis 001915 to the renowned Baldi twins in Turin, the foremost rally Lancia experts, for a thorough inspection and service. We subsequently commissioned PubbliMais to refinish the car in its exact livery from the 1977 Giro d’Italia Automobilistico, including the hastily hand-applied registration number at the rear. The Torinese company famously applied the liveries for Lancia’s Works competition cars through the decades – who better to restore the visual glory of the Rino Fabbri Racing Stratos. The artisans from PubbliMais in Turin painstakingly restore the legendary Rino Fabbri livery Finding a genuine Stratos HF Group IV with traceable period competition history is extremely tricky these days – let alone one with considerable success on both the national and international road-racing stages (not those of the snowy or muddy loose type). We see no reason why this car wouldn’t be welcomed with open arms to the world’s most prestigious historic motorsport events. “Finding a genuine Stratos HF Group IV with traceable period competition history is extremely tricky these days – let alone one with considerable road-racing success.” Chassis 001915’s competition beginnings – its preparation by Carlo Facetti, its firm place in the Works-assisted Jolly Club fraternity and its most notable results as detailed above – are a considerable string to its bow. As are the mere two private owners it’s enjoyed since it was born in Turin, the last of whom has treasured it for 42 years. The restoration by its spiritual godfather Carlo Facetti, the myriad high-profile magazine features detailing the car over the years and the fresh reapplication of its fantastic livery are the proverbial cherries on the cake.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Short, stubby and simply unstoppable Short, stubby and simply unstoppable, the Lancia Stratos HF won a staggering 18 World Rally events and no fewer than three World Rally Championships. Its formidable performance can be attributed largely to Marcello Gandini, the design wunderkind who, working under the Bertone banner, single-handedly revolutionised the world of car design. The introduction of the Stratos in 1970 heralded the era of the ‘wedge’ and petrolheads simply had no idea what they were in for. Game-changer – the Lancia Stratos HF changed the automotive landscape for good Arguably the very first thoroughbred rally car, no stone was left unturned by Lancia and Bertone’s designers and engineers in the quest for performance. The Stratos’ desperately short wheelbase (just 2.18 metres) coupled with its 880kg weight meant it was positively nimble and direct. It took a skip-full of skill to master it, which explains why Sandro Munari ranks so highly in our list of great drivers. “It took a skip-full of skill to master the Stratos, which explains why Sandro Munari ranks so highly in our list of great drivers.” For the heart of its new car, Lancia approached Ferrari, a company whose legend was forged around the power and reliability of its engines. A 2.4-litre six-cylinder ‘Dino’ engine was chosen and tucked transversely right behind the cabin. It produced a mighty 300HP in Corsa spec. And it sounded a rabid dog barking for its life. Crucially, the rallying rules of the time dictated that 500 road-specification cars were to be built in order to homologate a competition variant. In typically Italian fashion, Lancia didn’t manage to do that. It’s estimated that 492 Stratos HFs left the marque’s Chivasso plant, of which this fascinating Group IV-specification road-racing example from 1975 is one.

With its combination of a powerful, fuel-injected V8 engine and sharp styling, the Aston Martin DBS is rightly renowned as being one of the finest GT cars of its era, and this particular car is presented in exceptional condition throughout. Supplied new by HR Owen on 14 October 1971, it was specified with the three-speed automatic transmission, which is perfectly suited to both the torque-rich 5.3-litre engine and the car’s ‘grand touring’ nature. In recent years, the DBS has benefitted from a full restoration by renowned marque specialist Aston Engineering. The process is thoroughly documented in the car’s history file and included extensive work on the body ahead of a bare-metal respray in its original colour of Pacific Blue. The front and rear suspension was also fully rebuilt, and Aston Engineering fitted its handling-kit upgrade as well as a rear telescopic-damper conversion. The braking system and power steering were overhauled, the differential was rebuilt, and a complete stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The finishing touch was a full interior retrim in Autocalf Dark Tan leather with Wilton Sandstorm carpet, and there’s a nice period touch in the shape of a Radiomobile 8-Track player. Beautifully finished throughout, and featuring well-chosen upgrades that further enhance the driving experience, this matching-numbers Aston Martin DBS is a superb example of this muscular British classic. 1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Boiling Point Pressure. Ultimately, that’s what led to the creation of the Ferrari’s legendary 512 BB/LM Group 5 sports-racing cars. You see, Il Commendatore was a notoriously stubborn man. And not always for the right reasons. While he initially saw no potential – and thus showed zero interest – in a competition variant of his marque’s flagship twelve-cylinder Berlinetta Boxer, his close friend and American concessionaire Luigi Chinetti did. Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) had enjoyed great success with Ferrari’s prototype and GT racing cars in the 1960s and ’70s. And unsurprisingly, Chinetti wielded great commercial influence in Maranello, thanks to the incredibly lucrative nature of his American market. It took N.A.R.T. to build its own radically reengineered Ferrari 365 GT4 BB racer and record impressive finishes at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans for Enzo to take note. Perhaps the elegant mid-engined supercar had the minerals after all. Sure enough, at the French endurance classic in the summer of 1978, Ferrari supplied three five-litre BB Competiziones, developed with input from the Formula 1 team’s chief engineer Mauro Forghieri. Among his more intriguing ideas was the aluminium rear wing, which actually began life as the front wing on the 312 T3 Grand Prix car. Ferrari could no longer resist the idea of a 512 with which to try and win the world’s greatest endurance races. Veiled in secrecy deep in the factory’s Assistenza Clienti department, ingegneri Giuseppe Girotti and Gaetano Florini were spearheading the development of a bona-fide competition version of the 512 BB, for the hotly-contested Group 5 ‘Special Production’ category. Unlike the three hastily-constructed cars it supplied for Le Mans in 1978, this second evolution – christened the BB/LM – was a thoroughly developed, no-corners-cut endurance racer. Lucas mechanical fuel injection, an enhanced cooling system, a strengthened gearbox and bespoke Gotti alloy wheels shod with Michelin TR-X rubber were just a handful of the modifications made. In addition, the suspension and braking systems were entirely overhauled, while both the front and rear tracks were widened. Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans’ six-kilometre Mulsanne Straight. Extensive work was carried out in the Torinese carrozzeria’s Grugliasco wind tunnel, resulting in a sleeker wind-cheating and utterly beautiful ‘silhouette’ that Ferrari somewhat ambitiously reported it had clocked at 212mph in testing. Punchy. “Ferrari drafted in Pininfarina, that age-old engineer of elegance with which it had worked so closely in the 1950s and ’60s, to hone the mid-engined supercar’s bodywork for Le Mans.” On a frigid rainy morning in January of 1979, a plane touched down at John F. Kennedy Airport carrying three brand new Ferrari 512 BB/LMs – the first three of the nine second-generation cars built by the end of 1979. Their end destination? The Daytona 24 Hours. While one car was earmarked for Chinetti’s N.A.R.T. outfit, the other two were designated to the French Ferrari concessionaire Charles Pozzi. The 512 BB/LM we’re honoured to be offering, chassis number 26685, was the second of those two cars. Michelin, whose fancy new radial tyres were fitted to the BB/LMs, took the opportunity to hire the Daytona circuit a full week before the race, granting the Pozzi team invaluable testing time with its new Ferraris. Entered into the top-flight IMSA GTX category, this car was assigned the number 67 and earmarked for French drivers Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. And come qualifying, chassis 26685 was the quickest of the three 512s, lapping the famous banked racetrack in 1min57.3sec. The Daytona 24 Hours in 1979 marked the Ferrari 512 BB/LM’s competitive debut – chassis number 26685 was one of three examples entered Alas, the race was a less straightforward affair. Unusually high tyre wear on the sister Pozzi car of Jean-Claude Andruet prompted an early pit-stop around 90 minutes in to the 24-hour marathon. And when N.A.R.T.’s entry suffered a scary high-speed blowout exiting the banking, resulting in an accident and subsequent retirement, both Michelin and the Pozzi bosses rightly decided to err on the side of caution and withdraw both its entries after just four hours. Until then, chassis 26685 was running in an excellent seventh position. What could have been… Next up for this Ferrari was the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, not only the jewel in endurance racing’s crown but the Pozzi outfit’s home race. In preparation, the French team had conducted a 24-hour test at Le Castellet with both of its BB/LMs – a test which, by all accounts, was a resounding success. The stage was set. This Ferrari’s striking Jean Fougerol-designed ‘clouds’ livery proved a real talking point at Le Mans in 1979 Ahead of the main event, Pozzi commissioned the French artist Jean Fougerol to refinish its brace of 512s in a fabulous hand-painted Pop Art-inspired livery depicting powder-blue clouds and white birds. The two BB/LMs differed only in their numbers and their title sponsors – this car was assigned the number 63 and adorned with the logos of 3M. The driver line-up for chassis 26685 remained the same as it did earlier in the year at Daytona: Claude Ballot-Léna and Michel Leclère. It was the latter who, at the close of qualifying, once again recorded the quickest lap of the four BB/LMs entered: a smidgen over the four-minute mark. Alas, it was also Leclère who, having clawed his way into the top 10 after an impressive drive through the night, agonisingly retired at eight o’clock in the morning after a sudden downpour and subsequent contretemps with a slower car. This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, where its entry was part-funded by the European University This Ferrari’s third and final competitive outing came 12 months later at the very same event: the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time around, Pozzi fielded three BB/LMs, all finished in the striking blue and yellow colour scheme of the European University in Belgium. Chassis 26685 ran with the number 75 and was due to be driven by Lucien Guitteny and Gérard Bleynie. Once again, however, bad luck plagued this Ferrari and an accident forced retirement in the seventh hour. The sister car of Jean Xhenceval, Pierre Dieudonné and Hervé Regout clinched a well-deserved class podium for the French outfit. The car was returned to Ferrari to be repaired and, with the factory’s blessing, sent to Pininfarina to be rebodied in the more aerodynamically advanced second-evolution bodywork, in which the last 16 BB/LMs were dressed. Its competitive duties complete, chassis 26685 was sold to Prince Pierre Sanguszko – a prominent member of the Polish aristocracy who was a close friend of the Pozzi boss Daniel Merin. In his castle in Senlis, France, this Ferrari lived happily alongside a number of incredibly special motorcars, including the Iso Grifo A3/C famously once owned by the French rock ‘n’ roll legend Johnny Hallyday. Sanguszko passed away in 1992 and this BB/LM passed through the hands of a small number of French owners before it was acquired by the well-known British Ferrari collector Nigel Chiltern-Hunt just before the New Millennium. Chiltern-Hunt commissioned a ground-up restoration, including the reapplication of its iconic Jean Fougerol livery. Upon completion, chassis 26685 was returned to the racetrack at the 2001 Historic Festival at Rockingham. It made several further outings at Ferrari Owners’ Club UK Concours meetings until 2010, when it was acquired by Jacques Bajol and returned to France. It’s important to note that by this point, this BB/LM had been submitted for and received its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox, in addition to the provenance. “This BB/LM received its full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification in 2008, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox, in addition to the provenance.” In what was an especially memorable occasion, at the 2012 Le Mans Classic, chassis 26685 was returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time since it competed there in 1980 and reunited with its sister Pozzi car, chassis number 26681, famously finished in the same Jean Fougerol ‘clouds’ livery. This 512 BB/LM’s was acquired by its penultimate owner, a Swiss collector and historic racing driver, in 2019. As a friend of Claude Ballot-Lena, he’d long been hunting for a car raced by the Frenchman in period. This Ferrari more than fitted the bill. With a view to returning the Ferrari to the racetrack for the first time in 40 years, while preserving its incredible originality, he commissioned Tommaso Gelmini’s renowned GPS Classics outfit in Italy to prepare the car to modern historic racing safety standards. The Historic Technical Passport was acquired in 2019, and remains valid until 2029. Pleasingly, the owner capitalised on the extraordinary eligibility of this Ferrari, entering it in a plethora of historic motorsport meetings – including Peter Auto’s Historic events at Monza, Vallelunga and Paul Ricard, and, in the summer of 2022, the Le Mans Classic. An enticing thought for the next custodian is that there are still many events at which this 512 BB/LM would be welcomed with open arms. Personally, we’re not sure we’d be able to resist returning it to the hallowed banking of the Daytona International Speedway, where chassis 26685 first turned a wheel in anger, for the popular HSR Classic Daytona meeting. To truly appreciate the historical significance of the 512 BB/LM, it’s important to frame it in the context of the Prancing Horse’s competition history – more specifically the trajectory it followed in the decades after this car hung up its figurative boots. You see, every Ferrari entry at Le Mans since then – immortal machines such as the F40 LM, 333 SP, 550 Maranello, F430 GTC and 488 GTE – has been built by a third party with the factory’s blessing. That makes the 25 BB/LMs which left Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department the marque’s final in-house-built sports-racing cars to have raced in the world’s greatest endurance competition. The third example built, chassis number 26685 distinguishes itself further in a number of significant ways. Not least its competition résumé, which comprises the two most prestigious endurance motor races, and its Pop Art livery, which is arguably the most famous and recognisable of all the 512s which raced. The beguiling originality, full red-book Ferrari Classiche certification and extraordinary eligibility in today’s historic motoring world are the proverbial cherries on the cake. “The 25 BB/LMs which left Ferrari’s Assistenza Clienti department the marque’s final in-house-built sports-racing cars to have raced in the world’s greatest endurance competition.” Hailing from a fondly-remembered and hotly-contested era of endurance racing, this ultra-special EU-taxes-paid Ferrari 512 BB/LM is in the esteemed company of the very finest thoroughbred Prancing Horses in the marque’s storied history. 1979 Ferrari 512 BB/LM Group 5 Girardo & Co.

Ultimately, that’s what led to the creation of the Ferrari’s legendary 512 BB/LM Group 5 sports-racing cars. You see, Il Commendatore was a notoriously stubborn man. And not always for the right reasons. While he initially saw no potential – and thus showed zero interest – in a competition variant of his marque’s flagship twelve-cylinder Berlinetta Boxer, his close friend and American concessionaire Luigi Chinetti did. Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) had enjoyed great success with Ferrari’s prototype and GT racing cars in the 1960s and ’70s. And unsurprisingly, Chinetti wielded great commercial influence in Maranello, thanks to the incredibly lucrative nature of his American market. It took N.A.R.T. to build its own radically reengineered Ferrari 365 GT4 BB racer and record impressive finishes at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans for Enzo to take note. Perhaps the elegant mid-engined supercar had the minerals after all. Sure enough, at the French endurance classic in the summer of 1978, Ferrari supplied three five-litre BB Competiziones, developed with input from the Formula 1 team’s chief engineer Mauro Forghieri. Among his more intriguing ideas was the aluminium rear wing, which actually began life as the front wing on the 312 T3 Grand Prix car. Ferrari could no longer resist the idea of a 512 with which to try and win the world’s greatest endurance races. Veiled in secrecy deep in the factory’s Assistenza Clienti department, ingegneri Giuseppe Girotti and Gaetano Florini were spearheading the development of a bona-fide competition version of the 512 BB, for the hotly-contested Group 5 ‘Special Production’ category. Unlike the three hastily-constructed cars it supplied for Le Mans in 1978, this second evolution – christened the BB/LM – was a thoroughly developed, no-corners-cut endurance racer. Lucas mechanical fuel injection, an enhanced cooling system, a strengthened gearbox and bespoke Gotti alloy wheels shod with Michelin TR-X rubber were just a handful of the modifications made. In addition, the suspension and braking systems were entirely overhauled, while both the front and rear tracks were widened.

At the 1966 Paris Motor Show, Maserati presented the Mexico as a four-seater GT coupé in the luxury class. The Mexico was based on a Bertone prototype from 1965. The production version was bodied by Vignale based on a design by Michelotti. The first series I the Mexico was powered by a 4.7-litre V8 with four Weber carburettors, producing 290 HP. From 1969 the 4.2-litre V8 from the Maserati Quattroporte with 260 HP was optionally available. In 1967 this very original Maserati Mexico was delive-red to its first owner in Brescia, Italy. In the 80s, the vehicle was based in the USA. The car has an excellent original coachwork and is regularly technically main-tained by the brand specialist Fa. Steinke in Hamburg. A Maserati Classiche certificate and a copy of the original order sheet are available!

Completed at the factory in February 1970, this rare Porsche 914/6 was finished in Light Ivory over a black leatherette interior, just as it appears today. This six-cylinder Porsche was prepared for the US market and equipped with an electric heated rear window, Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, a leather steering wheel, and chrome whole disk wheels. Remarkably, the original bill of sale is on file from Holbert’s Porsche Audi in Warrington, Pennsylvania and reveals the $6,817 purchase price. Holbert’s was an important early Porsche dealership established by racecar driver Bob Holbert, father of five-time IMSA Camel GT champion Al Holbert; in fact, correspondence between Al and this car’s first owner is on file, with the younger Holbert apologizing for the delayed delivery of driving lights for the 914/6—and refunding the buyer $32.50! The Porsche remained under the care of the original owner for over three decades, and an incredibly thorough collection of invoices from this ownership tenure are found within the accompanying history file. Well over 100 pages are present and detail all the repairs and maintenance performed in order to keep the car in good running order. Thanks to the diligence of this owner, the car was enjoyed on the road and today, 86,898 miles show on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. Importantly, as shown on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the car has retained its matching-numbers engine and gearbox, which further increases the desirability of this machine. In 2018, the White Collection acquired the car, and it has received monthly start-ups to ensure the mechanical systems are functioning. Paint meter readings across the body show to be largely consistent; however, the driver’s side rear quarter panel received a respray at some point in the past. Owner’s books, tools, an assortment of spare parts, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a large collection of invoices will accompany the car. The beneficiary of long-term original ownership and presented in its striking original color combination, the desirability of this 914/6 is further increased thanks to its matching-numbers engine and transmission, overall originality, and extensive documentation. These nimble, yet powerful, 914/6s are true Porsche creations and are not to be underestimated: They deliver the kind of driving experience one would expect from this iconic automobile manufacturer and are increasingly sought-after by enthusiasts. 1970 Porsche 914/6 RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Recently sourced from Japan, The Cultivated Collector's 1995 Honda NSX-R is a prime example of the breed. Chassis 0349 presents impeccably today in the iconic Championship White over red colorway, showing just over 23k KM from new and presenting in highly original condition. Accompanying the sale of 0349 will be Japanese service records from new, manuals, NSX Press VHS, as well as all books and keys. With significant recent engine out servicing, 0349 is at the top of its game needing nothing - eagerly awaiting to devour open stretches of highway or winding country back roads. In the mid-eighties Honda engineers were experimenting with various engine and chassis layouts in an effort to explore viability for future products. One such experiment saw the Honda engineers take a Honda City, cut it in half, and install the engine behind the driver's seat. Much to the delight of the engineers, after an extensive number of thrilling laps around the parking lot, this unsuspecting test mule led to inspiring the Honda board to decide that they would create a pure sports car, and thus the beginning of the NSX was born. Honda would consort with automotive design legends Pininfarina to create a concept car called the Honda Pininfarina Experimental, referred to as HP-X, showcasing Honda’s foray into the mid-engine sports car world. Management at Honda provided lofty goals for the engineering team, simply requesting that this new sports car would need to be as fast as anything from their German and Italian competitors, while offering Honda reliability and a highly competitive price. With this direction, work began on evolving the HP-X concept car into a working prototype that would be referred to as NS-X, standing for “New Sportscar Experimental”, with an intention to showcase numerous automotive technologies that Honda derived from its wealth of knowledge in the Formula 1 world. The backbone of success for the NSX would lie in its all-aluminum semi-monocoque, a first for a production car, incorporating a revolutionary extruded aluminum alloy frame and suspension components saving a significant 441lbs over traditional steel construction. Nestled in the middle of the car, just behind the driver and passenger seats, would be the heart of the NSX - Honda’s brand new C30A engine, a 3.0 liter V6 debuting their brand-new proprietary VTEC variable valve timing system. The chassis and powertrain isn’t where the motorsport connection stopped. Honda further leaned on their robust motorsports division to aid in developing the NSX into a truly capable track weapon, leveraging the successful hands of 3x Formula 1 World Drivers Champion Ayrton Senna and highly respected Formula 1 driver Satoru Nakajima, with both working tirelessly to fine tune chassis stiffness and suspension characteristics through seemingly endless test sessions at the Suzuka Circuit and the Nurburgring. The end product of this painstakingly thorough test and tuning regime was a chassis stiffness increase of over 50%, while retaining a near minimal impact to overall weight and the cars handling capabilities. Released to the public in 1991, the NSX was an immediate sensation with enthusiasts and journalists alike. Car & Driver, after extensive testing, noted “the low, forward, cockpit is exhilarating… like riding in the head of an arrow” and of the car’s responsiveness stated, “it's so precise in its responses, as if it were hard-wired into my cerebellum." Despite the NSX being well received, Honda engineers had to make compromises to meet a healthy balance between daily driveability and raw performance. It was decided that for those customers seeking a truly no-bars-hold racing experience, Honda unleashed to the world in late 1992 the revered NSX Type-R. Honda engineers began the NSX Type-R development by putting the already svelte NSX on an extremely aggressive diet to aid in weight savings. Sound deadening, the audio system, spare tire, air conditioning system and traction control, along with some of the electrical equipment, were completely removed, while the heavy leather electric seats were replaced with fixed back carbon-kevlar racing seats from Recaro designed specifically for Honda. To reduce unsprung weight, Honda chose to replace the standard forged alloy wheels with lightweight forged aluminum wheels from Enkei. This extreme approach to weight savings saw the NSX Type-R weighing in at an astonishing 265lbs lighter than its standard NSX sibling, for a total weight of 2,710lbs. Changes didn’t merely stop with weight, however. Honda’s suspension engineers focused on fine tuning the suspension setup to prevent sudden oversteer during high speed cornering, which was extremely rare during normal driving conditions but was more prevalent on track. To remedy this, engineers added one aluminum bracket under the front battery tray, and added one bracket in front of the front radiator to increase chassis rigidity. The entire suspension system was discarded and replaced with a more track oriented unit, featuring a stiffer front sway bar, suspension bushings, coil springs and dampers. Additional changes to the car would see the final drive ratio revised to aid in quicker gear changes, and installation of a higher locking limited slip differential. Meanwhile, the C30A engine would receive additional motorsport love with a blueprinted and balanced crankshaft assembly, utilizing techniques carried over from Honda’s racing car engine build process. The reengineering of the NSX into the NSX Type-R resulted in a highly capable track oriented weapon that would be able to keep up with the best of the best from traditional super car marques of the day - all while being financially accessible, and carrying Honda’s legendary reliability characteristics, making for an incredibly alluring package. From 1992 through 1995, Honda would only produce 483 NSX Type-R variants, all of which were sold exclusively to the Japanese domestic market, making the NSX Type-R one of the most sought after and desirable Honda’s to date. 1995 Honda NSX-R The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
