Though it shared very similar aesthetics to the 330 P3, the 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 housed a powerful V12 engine that had been revised in great depth by Franco Rocchi. The most significant innovation came in the form of its 3 valve cylinders, two of which dealt with air intake and one with output. A Lucas Injection System supplied the engine’s power. The 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 had a slightly shorter chassis than the P3, and had a new improved suspension which improved road grip and handling. The P4 won its fair share of competitions, and grew in fame after its memorable hat trick of wins in Daytona. Photographer: Amy Shore Source:http://ow.ly/W6k250zaLwo

Presented in 1971 and produced till 1978, the Bora took its name from a type of cold, sometimes hurricane-force wind that blows off the Adriatic Sea. It was a radically new car, using a steel monococque structure, with steel body panels. The stainless steel roof and A-pillars and glass-paneled fastback roofline were unique in the supercar segment, and we’d see Giugiaro later apply a similar theme to the all-stainless DeLorean. For the Bora’s design, Maserati again drew on the talents of Giorgetto Giugiaro, who had done the Ghibli while in Ghia’s employ. He did the Bora as a project of the firm he founded, Italdesign.

As we would expect, this 1970 Alfa Romeo Junior 1.300 GTA is set up for race. Chassis *775897*, it started its life in 1970, when it was delivered new to Neunkirchen (D) for ONS inspection and was almost immediately entered into several races across Germany. The red and yellow livery looks just great as well as the full restoration and engine refurbishment done by a Formula GT Alfa Specialist in Germany. For sales in Paris at Historic Cars.

Maserati returned to racing in 1959 with the sophisticated and highly successful Tipo 60/61 'Birdcage. Designed by Ing. Giulio Alfieri, the four-cylinder engined machine earned its nickname because of its spaceframe chassis that was constructed from a large number of short small-diameter tubes. Initially fitted with the same 2.8-liter 4-cylinder engine of the Type 61 (by the time the first prototype was completed, the new engine was not yet available), at Le Mans 24 Hours on June 1961, three Maserati Type 63s showed up with the 3-liter V12-cylinder engine able to push the car to over 310 Km / h.

“Ci si pensa noi.” Translated from Italian to English, it simply means, “We’ll make it.” These were the words uttered in a Milan restaurant by legendary racing car designer Carlo Chiti, over dinner with Alfa Romeo President Giuseppe Luraghi. The year was 1963. Chiti had spent most of the 1950s in the employment of Alfa Romeo, but when their racing department ceased operations as the company focused on mass commercial production, he joined the Scuderia Ferrari. After helping to create the championship winning Ferrari 246 F1 and the 146 Sharknose, he went his own way and founded the short-lived ATS Formula One Racing Team. Now, it looked like a reunion was on the cards. Thanks to the commercial success of the Alfa Romeo siblings the Giulia and the Giulietta, profits were on the rise, but further innovation was desired. Luraghi had poured huge investment in the company’s new Arese assembly plant, where the brand new Giulia TI would be produced. The design team were working on both the prototype Type 105.10 and 105.11, which would have a 1600cc engine mounted on a tubular chassis, developed in collaboration with Zagato. The Type 105.11 hinted at a return to the racing world for Alfa. 100 units were needed to obtain the homologation, but Luraghi was hesitant to involve Alfa directly in the assembly, so he sought out his old employee and friend Chiti. Not long after this Milan dinner, Chiti established a new company, Auto-Delta. Under Chiti’s watch, the 105.11 project was scrutinized, improved and perfected. It scored famous victories at Targa Floria, the Nürburgring 1000 km, and the Les Mans 24 hr. After developing and achieving huge racing success with the TZ and GTA models, Alfa Romeo returned to buy Autodelta, and transformed it into the Alfa Romeo Racing Division. Courtesy of Girardo & Co.

The Healey 100 caused an immediate sensation 1952. It was designed by Donald Healey, a noted English car designer, rally driver and speed record holder, who presented the concept at the 1952 London Motor Show, where it was the undisputed star. BMC immediately agreed to produce it. The mechanics was initially derived from the Austin A90, 90 hp, afterwards improved to 110 hp (100M). Graceful but sturdy, the marque's cars were extensively raced in many sports car competitions thereafter. The company ceased building cars in 1972 when the 20-year agreement between Healey and Austin came to an end.
