A genuine Mk2 RS2000 Escort from long term ownership, superbly prepared to a 'Group 4' specification and offered at a very attractive guide. The Mk1 Escort RS2000 had proven to be a huge hit, especially in the UK and showed the potential of the idea, so Ford took the Mk2 RS2000 up market, positioning it as the performance car every young professional needed. A new deformable polyurethane nose transformed its look and gave it a distinctive, more glamorous, identity but it was practical as well, reducing drag from a CD of 0.444 to 0.386. Announced at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show, the RS2000 became the best-selling RS Escort ever made, with over 23,000 being produced at Ford's Saarlouis plant in Germany before production ceased in July 1980. On offer here is a genuine1979 Ford Escort RS2000 which spent its early years on the road before being purchased by its current owner in 2005, with the intention of recreating a fully prepared 'Group 4' RS2000. Maylum Motorsports of Kent were tasked with building the car to our vendor's specification and naturally the Ford was fully stripped and the appropriate body panels were replaced with X-Pack panels from Ex-Pressed Panels of Keighley. It was fitted with an Atlas rear axle and a limited-slip 'motorsport' differential with 4:6 crown wheel and pinion, 'Group 4' half shafts, 'Group 4' hubs front and rear with 4-pot callipers accompanied by mechanical and hydraulic handbrake and discs. Braided brake and fuel lines have been fitted internally throughout with a bias pedal box and dash mounted brake balance adjustment along with front and rear coil-over suspension which have adjustable TCA and adjustable compression struts to the front and four link and a panhandle rod kit to the rear. Motivation is provided by a 2-litre Ford Zetec with a Rick Wood-built head, Wossner pistons, steel rods, and a 'Motorsport' crank, fuelled by 45mm tapered Jenvey throttle bodies and managed by an Omex 600ECU. The engine is dry-sumped (Titan) with a 2.5-gallon boot-mounted oil tank and is fitted with a steel flywheel, HD clutch, hydraulic clutch cylinder and an RS2000 aluminium bellhousing. The engine was run in and set up on a dyno by Rick Wood, producing a documented 296bhp @ 6,400rpm, however the camshafts were designed to produce peak power at 7,500rpm so there is more scope yet. The gearbox is a Type 9 5-speed with Quaife straight-cut internals coupled to the rear axle with a Rally Design one-piece prop. Other specification details include a 'Group 4' 8mm ally sump guard, 12-gallon ally fuel tank with separate swirl pot and primary and secondary fuel pumps with an inline fuel filter, electric power steering, a Varley 'red top' battery and an Armtech hybrid battery isolator. The cockpit is a basic competition car but is well prepared with checker-plate floors, internal fuses, Sparco circuit race bucket seats with roll-cage mounted 5-point TRS harnesses and a Lifeline 3-litre plumbed-in fire extinguisher. Now finished in Signal Yellow with 'Blue Oval' graphics, the RS looks 'the business' sitting on X5 13" Minilites with 205 x 60 x 13 road tyres. On offer from 15 years ownership, this project has obviously been a 'labour of love' and the fit and finish are exceptional. We invite and encourage interested parties to come along to Race Retro and see just what can be achieved when you put your mind to it. 1979 Ford Escort RS 2000 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Jaguar XK 120 OTS – an iconic roadster whose timelessly elegant design and technical excellence have made automotive history. It was the fastest production car of its time – a true milestone. The standard engine produced around 160 hp, while the SE (Special Equipment) version with around 180 hp was later available as an option. The Jaguar XK 120 SE Open Two Seater offered here is one such Special Equipment version. The car comes from an estate with a large collection and unfortunately we do not know its history. This beautiful Jaguar XK 120 SE OTS has matching numbers and is in very good condition and well maintained. Upon sale, it will undergo a fresh service and MFK veteran inspection. The original operating, maintenance, and service manual as well as the side plug-in windows and spray top are included. The Jaguar XK 120 OTS was much more than a sports car—it was a statement. With its powerful engine, breathtaking speed, and a design that still inspires today, it made automotive history. From its conception as a simple eye-catcher at the London Motor Show to a coveted classic, it is now a popular collector’s item. 1954 Jaguar XK 120 SE OTS Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This 1988 Porsche 930 Cabriolet was delivered new on the 30th of May 1988 to its first owner in Germany. Finished in black over black leather with a black fabric top and black-center Fuchs alloy wheels, this 930 was ordered in a stunning specification that would look great in any garage. After staying with its first owner in Germany for a few years, the car was sold to Italy, where it has lived ever since. The consignor is the third owner of the car, and it has been in his possession since 1999 when he purchased it with roughly 50,000 km on the odometer. Now, it shows just under 129,800 km and benefits from a thorough recent servicing to the tune of nearly €30,000. The black paint on the car has been refreshed, but there is no accident damage in the car’s history, and given the car’s historic status, it is eligible to obtain the original Italian license plates it wore upon entry to the country more than 30 years ago. The interior is wrapped in black leather, with power adjustable sport seats optioned up front. One of the things that made the 930 so beloved when it was new was that, even though it offered performance on par with some of the best from Ferrari and Lamborghini, it still offered 4-seat practicality and did not suffer from the compromised ergonomics of its Italian rivals. That being said, with a keen eye, you can pick out a few differences from a standard 911 on the interior of the 930. Firstly, the large centrally-mounted tachometer features a boost gauge below the tach needle, which springs to life once you get the car above about 3,500 rpm. Also, both the floor mats and door sills are bestowed with Porsche’s famous Turbo script so that you know what you’re dealing with. Although the photos of this car show it fitted with a modern head unit, the original Blaupunkt Toronto will be included with the sale for a nice period-correct touch. Sitting behind the passenger compartment is a 3.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled air-cooled flat-6. Rated from the factory as making 296 horsepower and 304 lb-ft of torque, these cars are capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 255 kph. The engine in this car recently underwent a comprehensive engine out service, completed in March of 2024, to ensure that it will continue producing great power and be dependable for years to come. This engine is backed up by a 4-speed manual transaxle which shifts well through the gears, and was fitted from the factory with a limited slip differential. The Porsche 930 is a true 1980s icon, and was just as much a poster car as the Testarossa or Countach in the period. It is estimated that less than 1,000 cabriolet versions were produced, making this car quite rare and sought after. When you combine this with the car’s thorough recent servicing and having just three owners from new, it becomes quite an appealing proposition. With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to pick up a convertible- and it doesn’t get much better than a turbocharged, cabriolet, Porsche. 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo 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 1988 Porsche 930 Cabriolet was delivered new on the 30th of May 1988 to its first owner in Germany. Finished in black over black leather with a black fabric top and black-center Fuchs alloy wheels, this 930 was ordered in a stunning specification that would look great in any garage. After staying with its first owner in Germany for a few years, the car was sold to Italy, where it has lived ever since. The consignor is the third owner of the car, and it has been in his possession since 1999 when he purchased it with roughly 50,000 km on the odometer. Now, it shows just under 129,800 km and benefits from a thorough recent servicing to the tune of nearly €30,000. The black paint on the car has been refreshed, but there is no accident damage in the car’s history, and given the car’s historic status, it is eligible to obtain the original Italian license plates it wore upon entry to the country more than 30 years ago. The interior is wrapped in black leather, with power adjustable sport seats optioned up front. One of the things that made the 930 so beloved when it was new was that, even though it offered performance on par with some of the best from Ferrari and Lamborghini, it still offered 4-seat practicality and did not suffer from the compromised ergonomics of its Italian rivals. That being said, with a keen eye, you can pick out a few differences from a standard 911 on the interior of the 930. Firstly, the large centrally-mounted tachometer features a boost gauge below the tach needle, which springs to life once you get the car above about 3,500 rpm. Also, both the floor mats and door sills are bestowed with Porsche’s famous Turbo script so that you know what you’re dealing with. Although the photos of this car show it fitted with a modern head unit, the original Blaupunkt Toronto will be included with the sale for a nice period-correct touch. Sitting behind the passenger compartment is a 3.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled air-cooled flat-6. Rated from the factory as making 296 horsepower and 304 lb-ft of torque, these cars are capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 255 kph. The engine in this car recently underwent a comprehensive engine out service, completed in March of 2024, to ensure that it will continue producing great power and be dependable for years to come. This engine is backed up by a 4-speed manual transaxle which shifts well through the gears, and was fitted from the factory with a limited slip differential. The Porsche 930 is a true 1980s icon, and was just as much a poster car as the Testarossa or Countach in the period. It is estimated that less than 1,000 cabriolet versions were produced, making this car quite rare and sought after. When you combine this with the car’s thorough recent servicing and having just three owners from new, it becomes quite an appealing proposition. With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to pick up a convertible- and it doesn’t get much better than a turbocharged, cabriolet, Porsche.

This short-wheelbase 911 underwent a comprehensive restoration and re-engineering between 2021 and 2023, carried out in Italy under the coordination of Perosino S.r.l., a specialist in historic and competition Porsches. The car was stripped to bare metal, treated for corrosion protection, structurally reinforced at key suspension pickup points, and refinished in black prior to final assembly. The drivetrain was rebuilt around a 2.4-liter twin-plug flat-six producing approximately 240 horsepower. The engine was assembled with period-appropriate components and tuned for reliability, balance, and response rather than peak output. Power is delivered through a rebuilt 901 gearbox fitted with a limited-slip differential, reinforcing the car’s rally-focused character. Suspension and braking systems were upgraded with motorsport-grade components, including fully adjustable coilovers, reinforced suspension arms, and a high-performance braking system designed to withstand sustained spirited use. The electrical system was fully re-engineered with a rally-style wiring loom, auxiliary lighting, and competition safety features. Inside, the cabin reflects a purposeful, period-correct approach. Lightweight bucket seats with harnesses, a suede-trim steering wheel, simplified trim, and rally instrumentation create an environment that feels authentic to late-1960s competition Porsches without excess. The cockpit prioritizes focus, visibility, and connection over comfort. As presented, this 911 is not a replica of a single historic entry. Instead, it is a cohesive and thoughtfully executed interpretation of what a privateer Porsche rally car could have been. It offers the look, sound, and mechanical honesty of an early competition 911, supported by a documented, recent restoration carried out with clear intent. 1968 Porsche 911 SWB ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

General History Enjoying increased success in the new line of GT cars that evolved in the early 60s, Alfa Romeo released the first series 105/115 series coupes in 1963. Spanning a prolific 14 years in production, the model run remained largely unchanged due in part to the remarkably clean and sporting Giugiaro penned body design. As iterations unfolded, a range of engines evolved leading up to the SPICA fuel-injected 1750 GTV (Veloce) which was offered for US delivery examples. The potent 1,779cc engine was a fantastic pairing for the 5-speed manual gearbox which, along with revised suspension geometry and an anti-roll bar fitted to the rear suspension, made for great road manners. Larger front disc brakes and calipers were also installed. These notable improvements made for a better handling car overall but also invited spirited highway driving making the GTV a more refined and versatile GT car as it entered the new decade. General Overview This example was purchased by the current and consigning owner in 2013. Service records accompanying the car date back to 1992 when the car was located in San Rafael, CA. According to information from the prior owner, the car had been in California for several years prior to the early 1990s. A 1992 service record includes an engine overhaul and clutch replacement, performed at 132,197 miles, along with front and rear brake work that same year. Service invoices continue through the 1990s and 2000s under the same ownership until it was purchased by the current owner in 2013. The car has been in the collection of a known Northern California Alfa Romeo collector and enthusiast for the past eleven years where it has been serviced regularly as part of their enjoyable use for various events and vintage car tours including the Motherlode 400 (six times) and the California Melee. Under current ownership service invoices outline regular oil and filter changes, fluid flushes, and general services were performed including the front seats professionally reupholstered by Franzini Bros. Inc. (2013) and in 2014 a new brake booster, driveline flex joint and 2 U-joints installed, front end suspension rebuilt, rear trailing arms rebuilt, new fuel lines installed, radiator re-core, new muffler and exhaust hangers installed, and valves adjusted. In 2016 new brake boosters and brake booster hoses were installed, new cone bushings in 2017, and in 2021 new transmission, motor mounts, and new shocks were installed, and all fluids flushed and filled. General Condition Today this Alfa Romeo offers handsome cosmetics including older fine flake paint that has been well maintained showing good gloss and consistent cosmetic finish. Minor door edge chips are evident, a few minor dings in the rear bumper, minor rock chips in a few areas, but otherwise, the exterior finish is ideal for enjoyable driving and local shows. The trim is in very good condition overall including the grille, which is very nice and properly fitted along with the headlights and front fascia trim. The lenses, lighting, bumpers, and various trim and script are in very good condition contributing to the overall cohesive visual presentation. The panel gaps are consistent showing good closures and tight fit, even for both doors which show good part lines. The floating hood, often lacking proper fit, sits flush and latches correctly. The glass is in very good condition with brand etching that appears consistent with original factory installation for the side, rear, and vent glass. Outfitted with later series Cromodora wheels, car wears a set of Vredestein 165/HR14 Sprint Classic tires with ample tread remaining. The interior features nicely finished black bucket seats which have been previously recovered and have a high-quality look and feel to the material and pleating as well as the correct woven center material matching the rear seat area. The overall interior presents very well with most of the interior surfaces appearing in very good condition, reflecting a satisfying blend of refinished items and original features. The door panels, various chrome trim, and side panels have a very high-quality feel to the finishes, and the carpeting appears to be more recently replaced, here too with high quality and correct type materials. The dashboard is quite nice, featuring clean and nicely detailed instruments with excellent color and contrast and smooth wood-toned inserts for the dash and center console. The black dash padding is in very good condition fronted by a sporty black padded Alfa Romeo branded steering wheel. A Nakamichi stereo with CD player is installed in the dash along with door speakers and matching black grilles. The trunk is clean and well-maintained. Under the trunk matting, a full-sized stamped steel spare tire is in place. Under the hood, the engine bay delivers a correct presentation reflective of original specifications. Though not detailed for show presentation, the engine appears largely correct in componentry and detail with a proper SPICA airbox, stain black cam cover, and various details consistent with Alfa Romeo manufacturing during this period. Overall, the engine compartment displays finishes that are typical of cars that have been driven and enjoyed, regularly serviced but not prepared for show. The undercarriage is representative of an unrestored example. Selected metal suspension components and chassis floor pans display typical surface aging as often found on unrestored cars, none of which offers any indication of structural compromise or damage to the chassis floor. The car is fitted with new shock absorbers, a correct-type exhaust system, and a handful of various newer soft lines. Correct aluminum casting pans and transmission casings, and other correct parts and components for this series car finish off the chassis. The car starts, stops, runs, and drives very capably as evidenced in the driving video accompanying the photos in the gallery. The gearbox operates properly, the clutch takes up nicely, and the brakes bring the car down smoothly and evenly on a firm pedal. Acceleration is progressive from the SPICA outfitted engine offering a balanced feel especially notable in the improved suspension offered in these later series cars. 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The interior features nicely finished black bucket seats which have been previously recovered and have a high-quality look and feel to the material and pleating as well as the correct woven center material matching the rear seat area. The overall interior presents very well with most of the interior surfaces appearing in very good condition, reflecting a satisfying blend of refinished items and original features. The door panels, various chrome trim, and side panels have a very high-quality feel to the finishes, and the carpeting appears to be more recently replaced, here too with high quality and correct type materials. The dashboard is quite nice, featuring clean and nicely detailed instruments with excellent color and contrast and smooth wood-toned inserts for the dash and center console. The black dash padding is in very good condition fronted by a sporty black padded Alfa Romeo branded steering wheel. A Nakamichi stereo with CD player is installed in the dash along with door speakers and matching black grilles. The trunk is clean and well-maintained. Under the trunk matting, a full-sized stamped steel spare tire is in place. Under the hood, the engine bay delivers a correct presentation reflective of original specifications. Though not detailed for show presentation, the engine appears largely correct in componentry and detail with a proper SPICA airbox, stain black cam cover, and various details consistent with Alfa Romeo manufacturing during this period. Overall, the engine compartment displays finishes that are typical of cars that have been driven and enjoyed, regularly serviced but not prepared for show. The undercarriage is representative of an unrestored example. Selected metal suspension components and chassis floor pans display typical surface aging as often found on unrestored cars, none of which offers any indication of structural compromise or damage to the chassis floor. The car is fitted with new shock absorbers, a correct-type exhaust system, and a handful of various newer soft lines. Correct aluminum casting pans and transmission casings, and other correct parts and components for this series car finish off the chassis. The car starts, stops, runs, and drives very capably as evidenced in the driving video accompanying the photos in the gallery. The gearbox operates properly, the clutch takes up nicely, and the brakes bring the car down smoothly and evenly on a firm pedal. Acceleration is progressive from the SPICA outfitted engine offering a balanced feel especially notable in the improved suspension offered in these later series cars.

This Porsche 911 is an exceptionally faithful recreation of the legendary 2.8 RSR, built with a clear objective: to recreate not only the appearance, but above all the mechanical philosophy and driving character of the original competition cars. Developed over a period of six years, the project was based on a genuine 1973 911 chassis and entrusted to recognised specialists. The engine was enlarged to 2.8 litres and completely rebuilt by Porsche Centre Liège, incorporating period-correct RSR solutions such as twin-plug ignition, specific lubrication architecture and the appropriate Bosch mechanical injection system. Rather than a cosmetic tribute, this car was conceived as a coherent, functional interpretation of an early-seventies privateer RSR. The chassis, braking system, bodywork and interior have all been prepared in line with period practice, using renowned suppliers and components known from historic racing builds. Every aspect was approached with the same question in mind: “Is this how it would have been done in period?” Behind the wheel, the result is a raw, alive and deeply analogue 911 – light, vocal and mechanical in the way only these early competition cars can be. The car delivers the immediacy, throttle response and visceral feedback that made the 2.8 RSR such an icon on circuits and rallies across Europe. A comprehensive technical file detailing all RSR-specification components and preparation is available upon request. 1972 Porsche 911 AD Sportscars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A long-tailed last hurrah To say Gordon Murray grumbled when he was tasked with transforming the road-going McLaren F1 into an endurance racing car would be an understatement. You see, when the Formula 1 mastermind set about designing the finest zero-compromise driver’s car for the road, he’d told McLaren’s head honcho Ron Dennis not to come back later and ask for a competition version. Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the GTR. A compromised racer it might have fundamentally been, but the F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright on its debut in the French endurance classic. Nineteen ninety-seven. Cue the arrival of the Porsche and Mercedes-AMG factory teams, whose interpretation of the rules and spirit of the flourishing sports-car championship were perhaps not as sportsmanlike as their existing competitors would have appreciated. McLaren was forced to up its game. Murray was forced to return to the drawing board. “Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the McLaren F1 GTR.” As per the homologation rules dictated by the FIA, if McLaren wanted to drastically update the F1 GTR, it needed to sell a corresponding road-going version. So that’s exactly what it did. Christened the F1 GT, just three of these new high-downforce unicorns were built. The corresponding competition car, the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’, was an entirely different beast, differing from its predecessor in a number of important ways. Most obviously there was the bodywork, which was swelled dramatically in a bid for more aerodynamic downforce. The extended front and rear overhangs (adding 641mm to the overall length), the taller and more pronounced roof scoop, the louvres atop the front wheel arches and the wider rear track all combined to give the F1 the downforce it needed to match the speed of the Porsche 911 GT1s and the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMGs. Needless to say, the modifications were not skin deep. The size of the BMW engine was reduced ever so slightly in order to improve the reliability over long distances, while a six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox replaced the comparatively antiquated H-pattern of the older model. Our favourite feature? The golf ball-style gear knob – a feature borrowed from BMW’s all-conquering touring cars and a small signal of the Munich manufacturer’s involvement with the F1 GTR programme. The Finnish driver JJ Lehto, who’d been part of the lineup who won Le Mans with the F1 GTR in 1995, described the ‘Longtail’ as “like jumping from Formula 3000 to Formula 1’ when he first drove it in early 1997. “The downforce was on another level, the braking was better, the car was lighter and the engine produced more power,” he continued. “It was instantly clear that the car was a huge step forward in every area.” Indeed, the Schnitzer-run Works BMW Motorsport team took delivery of four of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built. Four chassis were delivered to the Gulf-Davidoff GTC Motorsports team, commonly held as McLaren’s ‘British entry’. The two remaining cars, chassis numbers 19R (the prototype) and 027R, were sold to smaller privateer outfits. Chassis number 027R The penultimate of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built, chassis number 27R was ordered new by David Morrison’s Parabolica Motorsport outfit. A Scottish banker high in the ranks of Goldman Sachs, Morrison counted a ‘regular’ F1 road car and an F1 LM among his collection. Finished in a striking yellow and blue Parabolica livery, the car made its competitive debut in the opening round of the 1997 British GT Championship at Silverstone on 6 April. Driven by Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin (who later became McLaren’s chief test-driver), chassis 27R was the sole McLaren F1 on the entry list, which also featured, among others, several Porsche 911 GT2s and a Jaguar XJ220. As the bright yellow McLaren crossed the finish line over 1min10sec ahead of the second-placed Porsche, so the new F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ recorded its first victory. Kazumichi Goh’s Team Lark McLaren leased chassis number 027R for the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans The traditional pre-24 Hours of Le Mans practice weekend took place in early May and chassis 27R was drafted into action for the second time. For Le Mans, however, this F1 was leased to the quasi-Works Team Lark McLaren from Japan, which was fresh off the back of its spectacular GT500 triumph in the 1996 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) with the short-tail F1 GTR. The major upset, which caused a great stir among the factory Nissan, Honda and Toyota outfits who’d lost on home turf, was architected by team owner Kazumichi Goh. When the JGTC’s governing body imposed a raft of sanctions and technical limitations on the Lark-liveried McLarens in a bid to level the playing field for 1997, Goh and McLaren decided to withdraw completely. Nineteen ninety-six remains the only year to date in which the GT500 crown was claimed by a non-Japanese manufacturer. We digress – back to chassis 27R. In light of his team’s withdrawal from the JGTC, Goh instead turned his sights to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most challenging motor race on the planet. McLaren were able to matchmake Goh and David Morrison and a deal was struck to allow Team Lark McLaren to sponsor this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ for both pre-qualifying and the race proper. It was duly refinished in the Japanese team’s striking ‘Rocket Pink’ and ‘Black Obsidian Grey’ livery, with some clandestine-ish sponsorship (Lark was a Philip Morris-owned tobacco company, the advertisement of which was prohibited at Le Mans). Chassis number 27R returned to its yellow Team Parabolica livery for the remainder of the 1997 FIA GT Championship A strong trio of Japanese pilots was earmarked to race chassis 27R at Le Mans: Akihiko Nakaya, Katsutomo Kaneishi and Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya was a coup for Team Lark McLaren and indeed the Le Mans organisers. The commonly held ‘Drift King’, Tsuchiya can fairly be described as the man who made drifting such a worldwide phenomenon. Parabolica’s Gary Ayles joined the squad for pre-qualifying in order to help the Japanese drivers get up to speed with the car. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ayles set the quickest time. Before Le Mans proper, Parabolica reassumed possession of this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ and entered the second round of the 1997 FIA GT Championship at Silverstone. With Le Mans just around the corner, chassis 27R was kept in its Team Lark McLaren livery for convenience, albeit with Parabolica sponsorship. Against the might of the factory Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW teams and in less-than-ideal conditions, Ayles and Goodwin carefully fought their way up the grid. “Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving.” As they snatched the lead, so chassis 27R became the first – and only – privately entered McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to lead a round of the FIA GT Championship. The heavens soon opened and Parabolica made a pit stop. Tragically, the race was red-flagged due to the conditions shortly afterwards and Ayles and Goodwin were forced to settle for sixth position. The 24 Hours of Le Mans beckoned. After the first qualifying session it became clear that Katsutomo Kaneishi was well off the pace on the Circuit de la Sarthe, so the team took the difficult decision to substitute in Gary Ayles, who’d had the most seat time in the car. When Ayles duly turned a lap time of 3min47.1sec and earned the team 10th on the grid, faces in the Team Lark McLaren garage were awash with relief. Ayles was elected to start the 24-hour race – once again a decision which proved worthwhile. The Brit held his nerve and was quickly mingling with the leaders. By the time the light faded and darkness began to envelope the circuit, chassis 27R was running well within the top 10. That was until Akihiko Nakaya overcooked it into Tertre Rouge and that was that. Under the Parabolica Motorsport banner, chassis 27R competed at circuits around the world including Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka and Laguna Seca It’s worth noting that, seven years later and after a number of failed attempts, Kazumichi Goh finally won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2004. His team became only the second Japanese outfit to achieve the feat. Sweet, sweet redemption. After Le Mans this McLaren was returned to its bright yellow Parabolica livery and entered in the remaining rounds of the 1997 FIA GT Championship, predominantly in Europe but also at Suzuka in Japan and Laguna Seca in the United States of America. The most notable results of the season was a brace of sixth positions at the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives outweighed the negatives for David Morrison and his squad of drivers and personnel. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving. In 1998, McLaren brokered a deal for Morrison to sell chassis 27R to the British accountant (read fraudster) and founder of AM Racing James Cox. Cox hatched a plan to contest the 1999 British GT Championship and organised a lavish evening to launch his campaign, starring the McLaren (now painted in Papaya Orange), the pop star Paul Young and the supermodel Caprice. Veuve Clicquot was the only visible sponsor on the car. If questions weren’t already being raised as to the origins of Cox’s wealth, then they certainly were when he appeared on a BBC television show with his two McLaren F1s. Cox managed to bank five races, partnered with Chris Goodwin, before the authorities caught up with him in the summer of 1999. Chassis 27R was acquired by Paul Osborn of CARS International. He kept it for almost a decade, during which time he exhibited it at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Lanzante restoration & road conversion – total cost: £300,000 (GBP) In 2011, this McLaren was sent to the world’s leading F1 GTR specialist Dean Lanzante in Hampshire, England, to be comprehensively restored at a cost in excess of £110,000.And later, in 2017, the necessary modifications were made by Lanzante in order to make the ‘Longtail’ roadworthy – a process that cost almost £200,000. The first F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to undergo the race-to-road conversion was chassis number 19R, the prototype affectionately known as ‘Squiggles’ thanks to its colourful pop-art-inspired livery, back in 2015. If you thought this was merely a case of raising the ride height and quietening the exhaust, you can think again. The year-long project was undertaken in close collaboration with the F1’s legendary designer Gordon Murray and his expert team at Gordon Murray Design (GMD). Both Lanzante and GMD had a wealth of experience road-converting the short-tailed 1995 and 1996 F1 GTRs. However, from a mechanical and technological perspective, those cars were much closer to the production road-going F1. The ‘Longtail’ went several steps further in terms of development, receiving a significantly advanced aerodynamic package that, by its very nature, compromised on practicality. Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer. Particular focus was paid to the steering, which needed to navigate England’s myriad mini-roundabouts, and the damping, which needed to handle England’s notoriously poor road surfaces. GMD also had to work out how the handbrake system from the road-going F1 could be fitted to the GTR ‘Longtail’ – an installation process nowhere near as simple as it sounds. Other modifications included raising the ride height, fitting smaller wheels and tyres, fitting a left-hand passenger seat and installing quieter exhaust baffles that didn’t sap power. Where necessary, parts were reengineered or even designed from scratch, as the accompanying technical drawings illustrate. And Lanzante and GMD tested the car extensively at the Dunsfold aerodrome, paying particular attention to the aerodynamic efficiency of the car with its bespoke reprofiled nose section. Chassis number 27R went through the exact same process as chassis number 19R, at a cost in excess of £198,000. It’s important to note that all the original components removed at this point accompany the car, which can be returned to full competition-specification if required. “Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset of the conversion process was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer.” Chassis number 27R was subsequently road-registered in the United Kingdom. The car was acquired by its current owner, a collector with a stable full of ultra-significant historic competition cars including a Ferrari 250 LM and a 312 PB, in 2017. He entrusted Lanzante with returning the car to its original Parabolica FIA GT Championship livery. Chassis 027R has made a number of public appearances since then, including at the 2022 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (where it was awarded ‘Best in Class’) and the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not an everyday sight: a McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ driving on the public roads around Monterey on the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance In April of 1997, the British racing drivers Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin earned the ‘Longtail’ variant of the McLaren F1 GTR its very first victory, in the opening round of the British GT Championship at Silverstone. “I was a bit embarrassed because it was like bringing a sledgehammer to a knife fight,” recalls Ayles, who was reunited with the very F1 with which he scored that win, chassis number 27R, at the 2024 Festival of Speed. “I’d raced a Ferrari F40 before that and the McLaren was leaps and bounds ahead in terms of refinement.” Despite the fact he hadn’t sat in the car for almost 30 years, Ayles took no time getting his eye in on the world-famous Goodwood hill-climb. “I’m a bit rusty, which makes things a bit nerve-racking, but the experience has been fantastic,” Ayles gushes. “When you’re younger you don’t really take things in like you should, but now I’m older I realise what a wonderful time in my life that was. I can’t help but smile every time I climb in.” Gary Ayles reunited with chassis number 27R at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed Chassis 27R is accompanied by a generous history file, comprising period photography, telemetry data logged during its period competition career, invoices from its restoration and road conversion at Lanzante, and the ultra-rare McLaren factory F1 GTR workshop manual and spare-parts catalogue. There’s also an inventory of spare parts including body panels, brake sets, transmission componentry, radiators and spare wheels. With only 10 in existence and all accounted for in the collections of both manufacturers and prominent private individuals, the GTR ‘Longtails’ are the rarest of the McLaren F1’s competition variants. Chassis 27R not only boasts the distinction of being the very first example to win a race, but it also counts six rounds of the top-flight FIA GT Championship on its competition record and, of course, the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. This F1 retains the exact engine with which it was delivered, numbered S70/3-606 – another string to its bow. Comprehensively restored by the best in the business and fully road-worthy, this McLaren is among the most sought-after modern-era endurance racing cars of them all. Needless to say, it would be welcomed with open arms to a whole host of the world’s most prestigious dynamic and static historic motoring events, including the Le Mans Classic, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail Girardo & Co.

Cue the arrival of the Porsche and Mercedes-AMG factory teams, whose interpretation of the rules and spirit of the flourishing sports-car championship were perhaps not as sportsmanlike as their existing competitors would have appreciated. McLaren was forced to up its game. Murray was forced to return to the drawing board. “Ultimately, it was mounting pressure from customers, who saw the newly formed BPR Endurance Championship as a perfect stage on which the F1 could compete and likely succeed, which led to the birth of the McLaren F1 GTR.” As per the homologation rules dictated by the FIA, if McLaren wanted to drastically update the F1 GTR, it needed to sell a corresponding road-going version. So that’s exactly what it did. Christened the F1 GT, just three of these new high-downforce unicorns were built. The corresponding competition car, the 1997 McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’, was an entirely different beast, differing from its predecessor in a number of important ways. Most obviously there was the bodywork, which was swelled dramatically in a bid for more aerodynamic downforce. The extended front and rear overhangs (adding 641mm to the overall length), the taller and more pronounced roof scoop, the louvres atop the front wheel arches and the wider rear track all combined to give the F1 the downforce it needed to match the speed of the Porsche 911 GT1s and the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMGs. Needless to say, the modifications were not skin deep. The size of the BMW engine was reduced ever so slightly in order to improve the reliability over long distances, while a six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox replaced the comparatively antiquated H-pattern of the older model. Our favourite feature? The golf ball-style gear knob – a feature borrowed from BMW’s all-conquering touring cars and a small signal of the Munich manufacturer’s involvement with the F1 GTR programme. The Finnish driver JJ Lehto, who’d been part of the lineup who won Le Mans with the F1 GTR in 1995, described the ‘Longtail’ as “like jumping from Formula 3000 to Formula 1’ when he first drove it in early 1997. “The downforce was on another level, the braking was better, the car was lighter and the engine produced more power,” he continued. “It was instantly clear that the car was a huge step forward in every area.” Indeed, the Schnitzer-run Works BMW Motorsport team took delivery of four of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built. Four chassis were delivered to the Gulf-Davidoff GTC Motorsports team, commonly held as McLaren’s ‘British entry’. The two remaining cars, chassis numbers 19R (the prototype) and 027R, were sold to smaller privateer outfits. Chassis number 027R The penultimate of the 10 ‘Longtails’ built, chassis number 27R was ordered new by David Morrison’s Parabolica Motorsport outfit. A Scottish banker high in the ranks of Goldman Sachs, Morrison counted a ‘regular’ F1 road car and an F1 LM among his collection. Finished in a striking yellow and blue Parabolica livery, the car made its competitive debut in the opening round of the 1997 British GT Championship at Silverstone on 6 April. Driven by Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin (who later became McLaren’s chief test-driver), chassis 27R was the sole McLaren F1 on the entry list, which also featured, among others, several Porsche 911 GT2s and a Jaguar XJ220. As the bright yellow McLaren crossed the finish line over 1min10sec ahead of the second-placed Porsche, so the new F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ recorded its first victory. Kazumichi Goh’s Team Lark McLaren leased chassis number 027R for the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans The traditional pre-24 Hours of Le Mans practice weekend took place in early May and chassis 27R was drafted into action for the second time. For Le Mans, however, this F1 was leased to the quasi-Works Team Lark McLaren from Japan, which was fresh off the back of its spectacular GT500 triumph in the 1996 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) with the short-tail F1 GTR. The major upset, which caused a great stir among the factory Nissan, Honda and Toyota outfits who’d lost on home turf, was architected by team owner Kazumichi Goh. When the JGTC’s governing body imposed a raft of sanctions and technical limitations on the Lark-liveried McLarens in a bid to level the playing field for 1997, Goh and McLaren decided to withdraw completely. Nineteen ninety-six remains the only year to date in which the GT500 crown was claimed by a non-Japanese manufacturer. We digress – back to chassis 27R. In light of his team’s withdrawal from the JGTC, Goh instead turned his sights to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most challenging motor race on the planet. McLaren were able to matchmake Goh and David Morrison and a deal was struck to allow Team Lark McLaren to sponsor this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ for both pre-qualifying and the race proper. It was duly refinished in the Japanese team’s striking ‘Rocket Pink’ and ‘Black Obsidian Grey’ livery, with some clandestine-ish sponsorship (Lark was a Philip Morris-owned tobacco company, the advertisement of which was prohibited at Le Mans). Chassis number 27R returned to its yellow Team Parabolica livery for the remainder of the 1997 FIA GT Championship A strong trio of Japanese pilots was earmarked to race chassis 27R at Le Mans: Akihiko Nakaya, Katsutomo Kaneishi and Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya was a coup for Team Lark McLaren and indeed the Le Mans organisers. The commonly held ‘Drift King’, Tsuchiya can fairly be described as the man who made drifting such a worldwide phenomenon. Parabolica’s Gary Ayles joined the squad for pre-qualifying in order to help the Japanese drivers get up to speed with the car. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ayles set the quickest time. Before Le Mans proper, Parabolica reassumed possession of this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ and entered the second round of the 1997 FIA GT Championship at Silverstone. With Le Mans just around the corner, chassis 27R was kept in its Team Lark McLaren livery for convenience, albeit with Parabolica sponsorship. Against the might of the factory Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW teams and in less-than-ideal conditions, Ayles and Goodwin carefully fought their way up the grid. “Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives certainly outweighed the negatives. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving.” As they snatched the lead, so chassis 27R became the first – and only – privately entered McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to lead a round of the FIA GT Championship. The heavens soon opened and Parabolica made a pit stop. Tragically, the race was red-flagged due to the conditions shortly afterwards and Ayles and Goodwin were forced to settle for sixth position. The 24 Hours of Le Mans beckoned. After the first qualifying session it became clear that Katsutomo Kaneishi was well off the pace on the Circuit de la Sarthe, so the team took the difficult decision to substitute in Gary Ayles, who’d had the most seat time in the car. When Ayles duly turned a lap time of 3min47.1sec and earned the team 10th on the grid, faces in the Team Lark McLaren garage were awash with relief. Ayles was elected to start the 24-hour race – once again a decision which proved worthwhile. The Brit held his nerve and was quickly mingling with the leaders. By the time the light faded and darkness began to envelope the circuit, chassis 27R was running well within the top 10. That was until Akihiko Nakaya overcooked it into Tertre Rouge and that was that. Under the Parabolica Motorsport banner, chassis 27R competed at circuits around the world including Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka and Laguna Seca It’s worth noting that, seven years later and after a number of failed attempts, Kazumichi Goh finally won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2004. His team became only the second Japanese outfit to achieve the feat. Sweet, sweet redemption. After Le Mans this McLaren was returned to its bright yellow Parabolica livery and entered in the remaining rounds of the 1997 FIA GT Championship, predominantly in Europe but also at Suzuka in Japan and Laguna Seca in the United States of America. The most notable results of the season was a brace of sixth positions at the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. Looking back at Parabolica’s 1997 campaign with chassis 27R, the positives outweighed the negatives for David Morrison and his squad of drivers and personnel. To this day, Chris Goodwin describes this F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ as one of the greatest cars he ever had the pleasure of driving. In 1998, McLaren brokered a deal for Morrison to sell chassis 27R to the British accountant (read fraudster) and founder of AM Racing James Cox. Cox hatched a plan to contest the 1999 British GT Championship and organised a lavish evening to launch his campaign, starring the McLaren (now painted in Papaya Orange), the pop star Paul Young and the supermodel Caprice. Veuve Clicquot was the only visible sponsor on the car. If questions weren’t already being raised as to the origins of Cox’s wealth, then they certainly were when he appeared on a BBC television show with his two McLaren F1s. Cox managed to bank five races, partnered with Chris Goodwin, before the authorities caught up with him in the summer of 1999. Chassis 27R was acquired by Paul Osborn of CARS International. He kept it for almost a decade, during which time he exhibited it at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Lanzante restoration & road conversion – total cost: £300,000 (GBP) In 2011, this McLaren was sent to the world’s leading F1 GTR specialist Dean Lanzante in Hampshire, England, to be comprehensively restored at a cost in excess of £110,000.And later, in 2017, the necessary modifications were made by Lanzante in order to make the ‘Longtail’ roadworthy – a process that cost almost £200,000. The first F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ to undergo the race-to-road conversion was chassis number 19R, the prototype affectionately known as ‘Squiggles’ thanks to its colourful pop-art-inspired livery, back in 2015. If you thought this was merely a case of raising the ride height and quietening the exhaust, you can think again. The year-long project was undertaken in close collaboration with the F1’s legendary designer Gordon Murray and his expert team at Gordon Murray Design (GMD). Both Lanzante and GMD had a wealth of experience road-converting the short-tailed 1995 and 1996 F1 GTRs. However, from a mechanical and technological perspective, those cars were much closer to the production road-going F1. The ‘Longtail’ went several steps further in terms of development, receiving a significantly advanced aerodynamic package that, by its very nature, compromised on practicality. Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer. Particular focus was paid to the steering, which needed to navigate England’s myriad mini-roundabouts, and the damping, which needed to handle England’s notoriously poor road surfaces. GMD also had to work out how the handbrake system from the road-going F1 could be fitted to the GTR ‘Longtail’ – an installation process nowhere near as simple as it sounds. Other modifications included raising the ride height, fitting smaller wheels and tyres, fitting a left-hand passenger seat and installing quieter exhaust baffles that didn’t sap power. Where necessary, parts were reengineered or even designed from scratch, as the accompanying technical drawings illustrate. And Lanzante and GMD tested the car extensively at the Dunsfold aerodrome, paying particular attention to the aerodynamic efficiency of the car with its bespoke reprofiled nose section. Chassis number 27R went through the exact same process as chassis number 19R, at a cost in excess of £198,000. It’s important to note that all the original components removed at this point accompany the car, which can be returned to full competition-specification if required. “Both Lanzante and GMD’s brief from the outset of the conversion process was clear: make the car genuinely useable on the road while maintaining the attributes that made it such a formidable racer.” Chassis number 27R was subsequently road-registered in the United Kingdom. The car was acquired by its current owner, a collector with a stable full of ultra-significant historic competition cars including a Ferrari 250 LM and a 312 PB, in 2017. He entrusted Lanzante with returning the car to its original Parabolica FIA GT Championship livery. Chassis 027R has made a number of public appearances since then, including at the 2022 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (where it was awarded ‘Best in Class’) and the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not an everyday sight: a McLaren F1 GTR ‘Longtail’ driving on the public roads around Monterey on the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance In April of 1997, the British racing drivers Gary Ayles and Chris Goodwin earned the ‘Longtail’ variant of the McLaren F1 GTR its very first victory, in the opening round of the British GT Championship at Silverstone. “I was a bit embarrassed because it was like bringing a sledgehammer to a knife fight,” recalls Ayles, who was reunited with the very F1 with which he scored that win, chassis number 27R, at the 2024 Festival of Speed. “I’d raced a Ferrari F40 before that and the McLaren was leaps and bounds ahead in terms of refinement.” Despite the fact he hadn’t sat in the car for almost 30 years, Ayles took no time getting his eye in on the world-famous Goodwood hill-climb. “I’m a bit rusty, which makes things a bit nerve-racking, but the experience has been fantastic,” Ayles gushes. “When you’re younger you don’t really take things in like you should, but now I’m older I realise what a wonderful time in my life that was. I can’t help but smile every time I climb in.” Gary Ayles reunited with chassis number 27R at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed Chassis 27R is accompanied by a generous history file, comprising period photography, telemetry data logged during its period competition career, invoices from its restoration and road conversion at Lanzante, and the ultra-rare McLaren factory F1 GTR workshop manual and spare-parts catalogue. There’s also an inventory of spare parts including body panels, brake sets, transmission componentry, radiators and spare wheels. With only 10 in existence and all accounted for in the collections of both manufacturers and prominent private individuals, the GTR ‘Longtails’ are the rarest of the McLaren F1’s competition variants. Chassis 27R not only boasts the distinction of being the very first example to win a race, but it also counts six rounds of the top-flight FIA GT Championship on its competition record and, of course, the 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. This F1 retains the exact engine with which it was delivered, numbered S70/3-606 – another string to its bow. Comprehensively restored by the best in the business and fully road-worthy, this McLaren is among the most sought-after modern-era endurance racing cars of them all. Needless to say, it would be welcomed with open arms to a whole host of the world’s most prestigious dynamic and static historic motoring events, including the Le Mans Classic, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.

What is it? It’s a Ford Escort RS1600 MK1 – or, to put it plainly, the most successful rally car of the early-1970s. Capitalising on the advent of televised sport, more specifically rallying, Ford wisely saw the commercial value in sending its humble saloon-for-the-people onto the world’s special stages. The Escort’s inherent simplicity, robustness and versatility soon saw it racking up domestic and international victories in the hands of such legends as Hannu Mikkola, Timo Makinen and Roger Clark. Can you tell us about this Escort’s period Works history? Chassis number 99901 was prepared for its maiden competitive outing, the 1973 Safari Rally, in April of that year by the Ford Boreham Competition Department and allocated the registration number by which it would become popularly known: XPU 216L. Earmarked by the Works Ford Motor Company Ltd for Roger Clark and his co-driver Jim Porter, the car was one of five newly-built left-hand-drive RS1600s fielded by the factory in the notoriously challenging rally. XPU 216L made a terrific start, carving out a staggering 35-minute lead by the halfway point. Alas, mechanical maladies forced Clark and Porter to retire wondering what could have been. Having returned to the United Kingdom, XPU 216L’s next outing came in the Scottish Rally, where it was driven by a young Tony Pond. The Works drive was Pond’s reward for winning the previous year’s Escort Mexico one-make rally championship and the budding British prospect did not disappoint, finishing an impressive seventh overall. Also a prize-winner in the aforementioned Escort Mexico series, Russell Brookes took the wheel of this Ford for the Jim Clark rally, putting in a deft performance to finish second only behind Roger Clark. So strong had his performances been in the powerful 16-valve Escorts that Brookes was once again entrusted with XPU 216L in the RAC rally, though his fortunes were shattered by an accident in Sutton Park – conveniently (or not), the special stage nearest to his Worcestershire home. What happened next? Following the RAC rally, the Ford Boreham Competition Department replaced XPU 216L’s shell with that of a sister Works car, which had its own résumé including the 1973 UDT World Cup recce. Incidentally, the 1974 running of the UDT World Cup was to be this Escort’s final appearance. Andrew Cowan, with a generous sponsorship package from White Horse whisky, was at the helm for the mammoth 12,000-mile journey from London to Munich via the Sahara desert in Africa. Just 19 of the 52 cars which took the starting ramp completed the rally, of which XPU 216L was, remarkably, one. Has this Escort been restored? Yes. Ford sold XPU 216L in the autumn of 1974, though it wasn’t until 1991, when the car was acquired by an adoring competition Escort enthusiast, that the decision was taken to commence a full restoration to the original Works specification. No stone was left unturned in the painstaking seven-year process, from major components such as the original 1973 Ford Competition Group 2 body shell down to the smallest details including the Pye Westminster short-wave radio and the Gomm Metal Developments dry-sump fuel tank. An alloy-block two-litre Ford BDG engine was installed, mated to a period-correct ZF five-speed direct-top competition gearbox. The authentic Safari Rally livery was the proverbial cherry on the cake. “The decision was taken to commence a full restoration to the original Works specification and livery.” Several modifications made for safety, performance and ease of use in today’s competition, such as the constant-discharge Lucas electronic ignition, the AP Racing brakes with twin-Lockheed servos, the Bilstein suspension and the Safety Devices roll-cage. So it’s a prime candidate for historic rallying? Absolutely. Once the restoration was complete, XPU 216L proved to be a very competitive car on the historic rallying scene, winning the 1998 Historic Rally Car Register Championship (HRCRC) outright and finishing fourth in the 2001 MSA British Historic Championship. And there are a number of series today which would welcome this historically-significant Ford Escort with open arms including the aforementioned HRCRC and Reinhard Klein’s Slowly Sideways community, in addition to major rallying events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Rally Legend in San Marino.

Enquire Send to a friend Send to WhatsApp Ferrari's 201 mph F40 is the definitive supercar and has a formidable reputation alongside the 250 GTO as possibly the best road Ferrari built to date. With the F40, Pininfarina produced an era-defining creation, one that even today is instantly recognisable by old and young enthusiasts alike. F40's were closely derived from the experimental GTO Evoluzione and the road-going 288 GTO (that the F40 replaced). The design features a tubular steel chassis with bonded composite inserts, most notably around the sills and floor pan, The 2,936 cc motor produces approximately 500 bhp at 7,000 rpm with the help of two water-cooled IHI turbochargers running 1.1 bar of boost. At 1,202 kg, the F40 had, and still has, a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio. Shatteringly fast by any comparison (especially for 1988), the F40 can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and hit 201 mph flat out making it the first production car to surpass this mystical boundary. This example was first supplied on 10th May 1989 as a ‘Diretta’ sale to Miss Elisabeth Kawan of Salzburg. Miss Kawan had earned her fame in 1982, being crowned Miss Austria and would later marry Formula One boss and serial entrepreneur Walter Wolf. The car was imported to the UK later that year by Mr Barratt who paid £895,000 for the car at the first peak of their values! Speaking recently he recalled driving the car just after purchase to the Ferrari Owners Club Christmas party in December 1989. Barratt would retain the car for several years, receiving both its 1,000 KM & 10,000 KM services in the UK. The car has been enjoyed regularly by each of its owners, and by 1996, it had covered 28,700 kilometres. The car was later exported to Holland and sold by Ferrari Kroymans who would service the car regularly between 1998 and 2002. During their time servicing the car for its owner, it would see continued regular exercise. The service history documents the mileage and during that four-year period, the car would cover a not inconsiderable 16,500 kilometres. The car spent six months in Germany before purchase by the most recent owner, in Austria once more in 2007. At the time of purchase the car was sent to Michelotto where a major service was carried out including fuel tanks and belts. In the care of the most recent owner, the car has been used more sparingly and as such covered just 3,000 kilometres in the past 15 years. The most recent owner had the car several times and most recently carrying out a major service including belts and fuel tanks once more in March 2022.

The 3.0 CSL is a lightweight, performance-oriented version of the standard 3.0 CS/3.0 CSi coupé. Utilising the E9 platform, the 3.0 CSL was unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and was introduced in May 1972 as an homologation model for the German Touring Car Championship developed by a separate division within BMW AG, a division that would later become BMW Motorsport GmbH.The CSL achieved some great results, with wins at Le Mans in the touring car class in 1973 and 1974, the IMSA GT Championship in 1975, and winning the European Touring Car Championships every year from 1973 to 1979 (apart from a minor blip in 1974).The 'L' in the designation meant leicht (light), unlike in other BMW designations, where it meant lang (long). A total of 1,096 CSLs were built, with just 500 of these being imported into the UK. The great majority of UK cars had the 'City Package' option fitted, designed to make the 3.0 CSL more usable as a daily driver. These versions retained the standard interior trim, negating the total weight saving somewhat, but the other benefits were retained, including aero kit, thinner gauge steel and aluminium parts. Early CSLs, produced in late 1971 and early 1972, utilised the standard 2,985cc M30 inline-six engine with twin carburettors and were only offered in left-hand drive. They were replaced by a fuel-injected model displacing 3,003cc available in right-hand drive during late 1972 and early 1973. Fuel-injected CSLs with the 3-litre motor have VINs that run from 2275001 through 2275429 (left-hand drive version) and 2285-001 through 2285-500 (right-hand drive UK cars). The fabulous CSL on offer here, finished in Taiga Green with a black interior, is #2285-469, indicating that it was built right at the end of the UK-allocated cars. Much of the early servicing was carried out by BMW dealer, Fairfield Garage of Leigh on Sea, at the instruction of of Mr. Hudson of the Facet Group. Multiple invoices show he used the CSL up to a mileage of 47,000. It then resided in Hertfordshire for nearly 21 years with its new lady owner, who obviously used it lightly as she covered less than 12,000 miles during that period. There is a record of some renovation work taking place in the mid-1980s prior to it being sold in 2003 at a mileage of 61,900, corroborated by past MOTs. In 2005, it was purchased by our vendor who has used and maintained it, with a full account of his expenditure on repairs and maintenance fastidiously kept in the comprehensive history file. The majority of the servicing from 2006 was conducted by our vendor's hometown garage, J.J. Griffiths of Lllandrindod Wells, with any bodywork attention by King of Cool Classic Cars and the front seats were retrimmed by West Country Trimmers in 2017. Most recent mechanical work was carried out by Munich Legends in 2021 and there is an invoice for an oil change in September 2023. This lovely, stylish, low-owners BMW 3.0 CSL coupé enjoys an impressive history file and service record and represents a fine example of the car that defined Touring Cars in the 1970s and, 50 years later, still has a presence that few cars can match. 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
