  • 1962-alfa-romeo-2000-spider-by-touring

    Introduced in 1958, the 102 Series 2000 succeeded the celebrated 1900 in Alfa Romeo’s model lineup. The 2000 was available in three body styles, including the short-wheelbase Spider. The manufacturer’s highly developed 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine provided spritely performance, while Carrozzeria Touring of Milan designed the open coachwork. The Spider was adorned with details such as twin hood scoops, a split front bumper, and four non-functional chromed vents behind each front wheel. Production lasted through 1962. With fewer than 3,500 examples built, the endearing 2000 Spider remains one of the rarer post-war production Alfa Romeos, making it all the more desirable and collectible today. An accompanying Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate indicates that the chassis for the Spider offered here was completed on 9 September 1960. After receiving its shapely Touring bodywork, it was subsequently delivered to Hoffman Motor Car Company of New York on 22 August 1961. The Spider was originally finished in Rossa Alfa with a black interior and adorned with a white stripe across the cowl. Acquired by the current owner from a local collector in October 2016, the car soon became the subject of a seven-year rotisserie restoration that totaled nearly $240,000. Invoices and a selection of photos on file detail the immense amount of work performed, involving stripping the vehicle down to bare metal before reassembling it to the wonderful appearance seen today. Now finished in dark blue over a red interior, this Alfa Romeo is powered by its matching-numbers engine, further increasing the car’s desirability. Professionally refinished in a stunning color combination and documented with an Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate, as well as restoration invoices, this restored 2000 Spider represents a great opportunity for the Alfa Romeo enthusiast to own one of the marque’s least-common standard-production post-war convertibles. 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS

    At the 1966 Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari launched the 330 GTS, successor to the 275 GTS and the open version of the popular 330 GTC coupe. It featured an enlarged 4.0-liter V-12 breathing through three triple-choke Weber DCZ/6 carburetors, producing a conservatively estimated 300 brake horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 244 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm, delivered through a five-speed transaxle and ZF limited-slip differential. Zero to 60 mph was possible in around 6.0 seconds and the top speed was nearly 150 mph, both incredibly impressive figures for a convertible in the late 1960s. Nimble driving dynamics come from a fully independent suspension comprised of unequal-length wishbones, coil springs, and Koni shock absorbers, plus anti-roll bars at both ends. Four-wheel Girling vented disc brakes sat behind either standard Campagnolo magnesium alloy or optional Borrani wire wheels. The car looked spectacular, thanks to Pininfarina bodywork that drew inspiration from the contemporary 500 Superfast, with its split front bumper, triple-louvered engine vents on each fender, and an elegant swage line along each flank, tying the front end to the rear. The bodywork was mostly steel, aside from the doors, hood, and trunk, which were formed from aluminum. The production process saw bare chassis transported directly from the Ferrari factory at Maranello to Pininfarina’s plant at Grugliasco, outside Turin, where they were fitted with bodywork before being returned to Ferrari for the final mechanical installation. Sublimely detailed, the 330 GTS’s design is widely regarded as one of the most elegant produced by Ferrari during a decade of greatness. The 330 GTS was, of course, limited in production, with only 100 examples produced. They were fiercely desirable when new and have never really fallen out of favor, with collectors still pursuing the finest examples for their stables. CHASSIS NUMBER 11027 Chassis number 11027, offered here, was the 86th 330 GTS built, completed in February 1968. It was delivered to its original owner shortly thereafter via Luigi Chinetti Motors of Greenwich, Connecticut, finished in Argento with Nero interior and the desirable options of Borrani wire wheels and air conditioning. According to the records of Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, a copy of whose historical report is on file, the car was driven some 25,000 actual miles over the first decade of its life, before being sold through a Virginia dealer in 1976. It was refinished later in the decade and thereafter fully restored, after which it earned Best in Show awards at the 1985 and 1986 Ferrari Newport Concours and at the 1987 Sporst Car Club of America Concours in Albany, New York. In February 1994, collector and vintage racer Edie Arrowsmith purschased the 330 GTS, and in her ownership it was restored anew by Steve Tillack. It was shown at the Palm Beach International Concours d’Elegance in 2005, then in 2007 was acquired by a collector on the East Coast in whose ownership it appeared at the 2013 Cavallino Classic and was featured in the 2014 official Ferrari Calendar by Gunther Raupp. More recently, chassis number 11027 has been returned to its original shade of Argento. Additionally, the interior has been reupholstered in period-correct Rosso Connolly hide. This 330 GTS is offered in beautiful overall condition with numbers-matching engine and gearbox. It is an outstanding example of the model that presents superbly from tip to tail and is true to the legacy of one of the most exciting open Ferraris of its generation. 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1975 Porsche 911

    One of the rarest models of the 911 is the ’25 Jahre Jubiläumsmodell’. Less than 500 examples have been built and the car sported a much more powerful engine. By the mid-1970s, Porsche’s dedication to innovation led to the creation of the iconic 911 2.7 Targa. With its distinctive Targa roof, this model combined the thrill of open-air driving with the structural integrity of a coupe. Built in limited numbers, the 2.7 Targa is powered by the legendary air-cooled flat-six engine, delivering 210 bhp. The 911 2.7 Targa was loved by driving enthusiasts who appreciated its blend of performance, style, and practicality. This example This very rare 911 2.7 Targa ’25 Jahre Jubiläumsmodell’ was originally delivered through Porsche Zentrum Baden-Baden in Germany in January 1975. 1975 Porsche 911 Very Superior Old Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1961-alfa-romeo-giulietta-sz-coda-tronca

    Athletically specified and beautifully bodied with lightweight aluminum coachwork by Zagato, the series-built Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale-based Sprint Zagato (SZ) was one of the most potent racing berlinettas of the early 1960s. Only approximately 216 examples were built, of which just the final 41 cars featured a truncated “Coda Tronca” Kamm tail and front disc brakes. The featured car is one of two SZ examples (along with chassis number 0201) that were shipped to the American marque subsidiary in Newark, New Jersey, for competition use by the nascent Martini & Rossi Racing Team. These two special Alfa Romeos are widely believed to be the very first cars fielded by Martini & Rossi, commencing one of motorsports’ most legendary sponsorships. Completed in October 1961, chassis number 0200 was finished in Rosso Alfa paint, as confirmed by Alfa Romeo documentation on file. After arrival to the US the fenders were adorned with script reading “Martini & Rossi Racing Team,” as the brand’s iconic racing livery had yet to be devised. Driver Paul Richards finished 2nd in class at the Daytona Continental 3-Hours in February 1962, just two places behind teammate Charlie Kolb, who won the 1.3-liter class in the sister car. The SZ then successfully completed the 12 Hours of Sebring a month later, and the car also finished 3rd in class (5th overall) at the under-2-liter race at the Bridgehampton 400 KM in September. At the end of the year the Alfa Romeo was likely one of the two Sprint Zagatos driven by Kolb and Richards at the Bahamas Speed Week. Earlier model registers and former owner’s notes on file suggest that the original Facetti-prepared 1300 engine was replaced with a 1600 Veloce-spec motor in preparation for the 1963 Sebring, although it appears the cars never arrived to compete. The Alfa Romeo was then sold to ex-Alfa Romeo-US employee Joe Amato, after which the car passed through a short chain of six dedicated American owners before being acquired in 2016 by the consignor. Properly restored under the consignor’s stewardship, the Sprint Zagato is equipped with a correct AR00120-series engine properly aspirated with two sidedraft twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE/2 carburetors. Also featuring correct retrimmed seats, the handsomely presented SZ has accrued only approximately 1,000 miles since refurbishment, and it would make an excellent companion for vintage racing or display at concours d’elegance and marque gatherings—stunning in every regard. 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ ‘Coda Tronca’ RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Completed in October 1961, chassis number 0200 was finished in Rosso Alfa paint, as confirmed by Alfa Romeo documentation on file. After arrival to the US the fenders were adorned with script reading “Martini & Rossi Racing Team,” as the brand’s iconic racing livery had yet to be devised. Driver Paul Richards finished 2nd in class at the Daytona Continental 3-Hours in February 1962, just two places behind teammate Charlie Kolb, who won the 1.3-liter class in the sister car. The SZ then successfully completed the 12 Hours of Sebring a month later, and the car also finished 3rd in class (5th overall) at the under-2-liter race at the Bridgehampton 400 KM in September. At the end of the year the Alfa Romeo was likely one of the two Sprint Zagatos driven by Kolb and Richards at the Bahamas Speed Week. Earlier model registers and former owner’s notes on file suggest that the original Facetti-prepared 1300 engine was replaced with a 1600 Veloce-spec motor in preparation for the 1963 Sebring, although it appears the cars never arrived to compete. The Alfa Romeo was then sold to ex-Alfa Romeo-US employee Joe Amato, after which the car passed through a short chain of six dedicated American owners before being acquired in 2016 by the consignor. Properly restored under the consignor’s stewardship, the Sprint Zagato is equipped with a correct AR00120-series engine properly aspirated with two sidedraft twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE/2 carburetors. Also featuring correct retrimmed seats, the handsomely presented SZ has accrued only approximately 1,000 miles since refurbishment, and it would make an excellent companion for vintage racing or display at concours d’elegance and marque gatherings—stunning in every regard.

  • 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster 2

    Completed by the factory in May 1957, this 300 SL Roadster was completed in ‘Elfenbein DB608’ (Ivory) over a red leather interior. Options on the build sheet include dials ‘re-written’ in English as this example was dispatched to the Mercedes-Benz in London. Supplied new to it first keeper in 1958, this 300 SL Roadster was the 16th car completed and first owned by Samuel McCrudden Jnr, proprietor of a linen and handkerchief business in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Ownership is documented by a scan of the Buff logbook in the car's accompanying history folio. His ownership was brief and the car moved back to England a year later finding residence in Berkshire with Aspro family member Maurice Nicholas, early developers of Aspirin in the 1900s. Initially their tablet had been called Nicholas' Aspirin; but later the product name was changed to Aspro formed from the last two letters of the name 'Nicholas', and the first three of the word 'Product'. The 300 SL was then sold by dealership H.R. Owen to aristocrat, wartime secret-agent, racing driver and naturalist Gavin Maxwell of Ross-shire, Scotland. A keen conservationist, Maxwell split his time between London and Scotland, driving between the two in a series of pre-war Bentleys, including a Corsica-bodied example. Maxwell would go on to own a second 300 SL roadster, the first car notably proved its engineering pedigree with a race from Sandaig to Glasgow for an otter-related emergency. A keen and enthusiastic driver, Maxwell’s biography regales adventures in 300 SLs, one of which Maxwell drove “at fantastic speed on the Moroccan roads — up to 140 mph at times, averaging nearly 98 mph from Marrakesh to Mogador...!” In 1970, the 300 SL found home with the previous and long-term form keeper. Owning the car for 33 years, well-known classic racer Mr Forsdyke took the car off the road and placed it in storage. With the intention of carrying out a total restoration, the car instead sat for an extended period in storage in a partly dismantled state. Purchased by its current custodian in 2003, a decision was made to bare-metal restore the 300 SL Roadster. Opting for the period correct shade of Anthracite Grey (DB172), the comprehensive restoration was carried out on-and-off for 15 years with Kevin O' Keeffe Restorations at a cost of £320,000. Upon completion, the roadster was wholly covered in bespoke paint protection film. Since restoration the car has covered just 2,900 miles and presents superbly. This wonderful 300 SL roadster is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately, accompanied by an original hardtop, period tool kit with jack of the correct type, restoration file and history folio. Furthermore, an inspection report by 300 SL specialist Martin Cushway is available. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster D.K.

  • 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC by Pininfarina 2

    It is often said that a designer’s work is never done, and especially in the automotive world, as car design is often in a constant state of evolution. Only so much can be done to prepare a car for the real world before it hits production, but keeping up with the competition and changing tastes always bring designers back to the drawing board. Although Pininfarina was surely thrilled with their work for Ferrari in designing the 330 GTC, the firm was clearly keen to keep moving in the right direction for their most famous customer. As such, this 330 GTC was purchased by Pininfarina directly from the factory in July of 1966 for their own use. Showcasing their forward thinking attitude, chassis no. 8727 falls exceptionally early in 330 GTC production, the fourth car built out of 600 completed in total. Upon its arrival with Pininfarina at their headquarters in Turin, only a few hours up the road from Maranello, the firm’s designers and craftsman set about their carefully considered work. Externally, the most noticeable change implemented by Pininfarina to chassis no. 8727 was the pop-up fog lights fitted to the nose. Hidden away when not in use, they could easily be rotated into position by a switch inside the car. These “Supervis” (short for super vision) lights appeared on two of the four 330 GTC Speciales, and were originally penned by Aldo Brovarone for the Superfast I concept car and also famously used in the 365 California Spyder. Keen tifosi will also spot that this car lost its trademark 330 GTC fender vents, and instead boasts vents on the hood, which proved far more efficient at dissipating heat from the engine bay. This new feature, one introduced on this very car, also made its way to 365 GTC and 365 GT 2+2 production. Finally the Ferrari badge on the nose was sunk into the bodywork, and the ‘330’ badge on trunk was removed entirely. The interior was reupholstered in light blue cloth, cooler to sit on in Italy’s hot summers, with the color chosen to compliment the car’s existing Blu Scuro paintwork, a shade known to be a favorite of Sergio Pininfarina himself. Cloth upholstery would later become an option on the 330 GTC as a result. The dashboard vents were changed to house two circular outlets on the top of the dashboard, allowing air to be directed wherever driver and passenger desired, a change that would be carried through to the 365 GTC. A new lever was fitted to open and close the quarter windows, along with a different steering wheel and hub, as well as a recessed ashtray in the center console, but these features would not appear in future production Ferraris. A passenger door lock was fitted and subsequently implemented on later 330 GTCs. After remaining with Pininfarina for a year, the 330 GTC was sold in July 1968 to Amerigo Brizzolara, an industrialist based in Milan, and passed through two more owners in its native Italy before being exported to the United States in the late 1970s, where it has remained ever since. Owned in the early 1980s by John Mason of San Francisco, the Ferrari was sold in September 1983 to California resident James Hampton, who in 1987 sold a fifty-percent interest in the car to John Ratto. Together the two men set about researching the unusual 330’s history and embarking on a comprehensive restoration. This would be no easy feat, as by now chassis no. 8727 had lots its unique foglamps and was finished in silver with black leather upholstery. By 1996, the engine and transmission had been rebuilt by Hampton and Ratto, but employment assignments overseas forced them to temporarily halt the refurbishment. Work recommenced in mid-1999 and coachbuilder Steve Moal was employed to assist in rebuilding the nose with new pop-up foglamps, using a 365 California as a template. Pininfarina supplied the original paint code and the car was thus refinished in the original factory colour of Blu Scuro and the interior retrimmed in tan, making for a highly attractive color combination. The car’s restoration was at last completed in 2002. After retaining the car for another six years following the completion of the restoration, the 330 GTC was sold by its owners into a significant collection in 2008. Later, it was featured in the August 2017 issue of Forza magazine in an article written by Maurice Khawam, who extensively detailed the car’s period modifications, showcasing why the car was so special and how it stood out from its brethren. Acquired by the current owner just under three years ago, the car was entrusted to the Ferrari specialists at Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas where it received just over $60,000 in mechanical work over the course of two years, returning it to running and driving condition following a long period of static display in prior ownership. Invoices for this work are available in the history file. Boasting a fascinating history, this 330 GTC Speciale stands proud as one of the most important examples of the model in existence. Renown for being exceptional driver’s cars, this car’s added provenance and spectacular unique design touches would also make it a fantastic concours entrant, ideal for Ferrari Club of America judging and it would surely garner much interest at Cavallino’s events and other concours events around the world.

  • 1956-maserati-a6g54-coup-by-allemano

    The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built, and just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Of those 21 cars, chassis number 2175 offered here was completed in its cream hue on 9 August 1956 ahead of being delivered new to Mr Catullo Del Monte of Rome. The Maserati had been exported to the United States come 1958 and, around the late-1980s, was bought by marque enthusiast Joe Alphabet of Los Angeles. He owned another A6G/54, chassis number 2186, and transplanted this car’s twin-cam engine into the sister Zagato body before selling 2175 without a motor. Circa 1989, this example would move from the United States to Italy under the custodianship of the consigning owner. Paired with 2186’s engine, it was submitted for a full restoration. Thanks to the guidance of Maserati historian Walter Bäumer, in 2008 chassis 2175 was reunited with its matching-numbers inline-six, which it retains to this day. The car also presents in its factory-correct cream paintwork over an interior trimmed with black upholstery featuring cream piping and a cream dashboard panel. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs. 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Coupé by Allemano RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built, and just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Of those 21 cars, chassis number 2175 offered here was completed in its cream hue on 9 August 1956 ahead of being delivered new to Mr Catullo Del Monte of Rome. The Maserati had been exported to the United States come 1958 and, around the late-1980s, was bought by marque enthusiast Joe Alphabet of Los Angeles. He owned another A6G/54, chassis number 2186, and transplanted this car’s twin-cam engine into the sister Zagato body before selling 2175 without a motor. Circa 1989, this example would move from the United States to Italy under the custodianship of the consigning owner. Paired with 2186’s engine, it was submitted for a full restoration. Thanks to the guidance of Maserati historian Walter Bäumer, in 2008 chassis 2175 was reunited with its matching-numbers inline-six, which it retains to this day. The car also presents in its factory-correct cream paintwork over an interior trimmed with black upholstery featuring cream piping and a cream dashboard panel. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs.

  • 1970-alfa-romeo-junior-zagato-1300

    The Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1300 is one of the most distinctive models to emerge from the post-war era of Italian automotive design. Built between 1969 and 1972 in a limited production run of approximately 1,100 units, this coupé combines the renowned Alfa Romeo Spider platform with a unique body designed by Zagato – famous for its lightweight construction and aerodynamic styling. The 1290cc four-cylinder engine delivers 89 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. With a kerb weight of around 920 kg, the Junior Zagato offers excellent performance and sharp handling – especially notable for its time. The bodywork, made entirely of steel with an aluminum bonnet, stands out thanks to its sloped nose, recessed headlights, and an innovative glass rear hatch system – revolutionary in both design and function at the time. This model is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Italian sports cars, not only for its rarity but also for its authentic driving experience and unique aesthetic appeal. This particular example first took to the road in Italy in June 1970. In 2009, it was acquired by its first Dutch owner. At that time, the car was fitted with a more powerful 1600cc engine, but the original matching 1300cc engine had been preserved and was included separately. In 2013, the car changed hands again, this time to a well-known Dutch Alfista. He began a careful restoration, taking his time and aiming to preserve as much originality as possible. The body was stripped and repainted, revealing surprisingly solid panels – a rarity for Alfa Romeos of this era. The interior was refurbished, and the gearbox was rebuilt. In 2017, the car was purchased by its most recent owner, a respected collector of classic automobiles. His goal was to reinstall the original matching 1300cc engine, which was still stored separately with the vehicle. Before being refitted, the engine was fully rebuilt. Once all restoration work was completed and the car became part of an impressive private collection, it was only sparingly driven. 1970 Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1300 Veni Vidi Vici Classic Cars BV If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1992 Maserati Karif

    With only twenty five Right Hand Drive examples, this rare Maserati Karif is in exceptional condition with just 14,500 miles from new. Launched in 1988 as a luxurious and sporting 2+2 Coupe, the Karif was powered by Maserati’s most powerful Bi-turbo 2.8 litre V6 engine producing 285bhp at 5,500rpm. According to Maserati, the Karif could reach 60mph from standstill in just 4.8 seconds and achieve a top speed in excess of 158mph. Based on the shortened chassis design of the Zagato-bodied Maserati Spyder, the Karif’s fixed notchback roof helped to increase torsional rigidity and ride quality while keeping the classic ‘3-Box’ styling of the Bi-turbo line. With a limited production of just 221 examples and only 25 being made in RHD, this super-rare, low mileage Karif has been cared for meticulously with a host of bills on file from leading Maserati specialist Bill McGrath. Regular service and maintenance has been carried out regardless of cost with the current owner being a long term Maserati enthusiast. The quality and condition of the paintwork leather and mechanicals are all exemplary and reflect the low mileage covered. Finished in the classic Italian combination of deep Rosso Corsa paintwork with a luxurious interior featuring tan leather and Alcantara, both are exactly as you would expect for an example that has covered just 14,500 mile and bely the fact they are nearly 30 years old. With its distinctive Maserati design and in immaculate condition, this exceptional Maserati Karif offers Ferrari beating performance with the desirable combination of increased rarity and exclusivity. 1992 Maserati Karif Drew Wheelers If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1950 Maserati A6GCS 2000 Monofaro

    A PARTING SHOT OF GREATNESS In 1937 the Maserati brothers sold their famous racing concern to the Orsi family, forever changing the trajectory of the storied manufacturer. But Ernesto Maserati reserved one parting shot for the post-war competition field in the form of a final model he began devising during the war: The A6GCS. While the first letter honored the late Alfieri Maserati, and the 6 represented the model’s novel inline six-cylinder engine, the G stood for ghisa (Italian for cast iron, indicating the block’s construction material), and the C and S respectively stood for Corsa and Sport. Although the A6 model most conspicuously took the form of the civilized A6 1500 road car, Ernesto was simultaneously developing the A6GCS racecar. Engineer Alberto Massimino was charged with building a new tubular steel ladder-type frame that was equipped with a coil-sprung front independent suspension with forged and polished unequal-length A-arms, Houdaille shock absorbers at all corners, and finned aluminum drum brakes. The triple-carbureted dry-sump single-overhead-camshaft A6GCS engine featured an increased displacement of 1,978 cubic centimeters, prompting the model’s final nomenclature, A6GCS 2000. Mounted with grand prix-style cycle-wing coachwork hammered in aluminum by Medardo Fantuzzi, the first-series A6GCS was built in a smattering quantity of just 14 to 15 examples between April 1947 and November 1950, most of which were sold to privateer drivers. Many of these cars were fitted with a large centrally positioned headlamp, for which the model was nicknamed “Monofaro.” Prized today for their rarity, visceral performance, and the genealogical position as the progenitor of Maserati’s great six-cylinder cars of the following decade, including the A6GCS/53, A6G/54, 300S, and the distant 3500 GT, the A6GCS 2000 is one of Modena’s most archetypal models, an automotive unicorn that represented the Maserati brothers’ last hurrah for the Trident. BOUND FOR BRAZIL Benefitting from 18 years of fastidious current ownership that succeeded a 26-year period of single ownership, as well as an extremely well-documented history, this A6GCS is perhaps the finest example to be publicly offered. According to copies of Maserati factory documents on file, chassis number 2012 was ordered in October 1950 by the Automovel Club do Brasil, specified with two individual seats upholstered in Verde, and coachwork finished in Giallo. Following completion, the Maserati was shipped a month later with the sister car chassis number 2019 (which was nearly identical in appearance with the exception of a single bench seat). At the Gran Premio di Interlagos in January 1951, first owner Mario Valentin Dos Santos drove the A6GCS to a class win, which was duly recognized by an official congratulatory letter to Dos Santos from the factory (a copy of which is on file). Although South American racing records of this period are not particularly well-documented, it is believed that 2012 participated in many races in Brazil and Argentina during the early 1950s, including events competed by such accomplished drivers as Juan Manuel Fangio and Froilán Gonzales. Records suggest that the car was subsequently raced by Annuar de Goes Daquer, including a 6th-place finish at the Circuito Quinta da Boa Vista in February 1952. At some point during 1952 the Maserati was returned to the factory for repairs that included the rebuild of the engine into a very unique configuration. The original head was removed and replaced with a dual-overhead-cam (bialbero) component with single ignition and an unusual cam design (with the linguette resting inside of the head’s V shape). It is believed that this modification constituted Maserati’s very first dual-overhead-cam engine head, significantly enriching 2012’s singular provenance. In December 1952 the A6GCS 2000 was returned to Mr. Dos Santos in Brazil, and it presumably returned to a life of racing in South American events. Unfortunately, the following 20 years of activity is not currently known (despite intense research efforts by the consignor), but in 1972 the car was discovered in a São Paulo yard by the well-known British enthusiast Colin Crabbe. As attested by period photos, the Monofaro had been repainted in rosso and remained in surprisingly strong condition, although the original nose had been modified with an egg-crate grille. THE ROAD TO RESTORATION Mr. Crabbe purchased chassis 2012 and shipped it to the UK, where it was acquired in 1973 by Alan Smith of Derby. After taking minimal measures toward a restoration, Mr. Smith sold the Maserati in 1977 to dealer Danny Margulies, and a year later the car passed through a proxy to Sid Colberg, the proprietor of Anglo American Auto Investments in San Francisco, California. Thus began a 26-year love affair between Mr. Colberg and the Monofaro, which he quickly set about restoring. Commencing in the UK, the work began with a correction of the coachwork by Grand Prix Metalcraft in North London, while Ted Bailey of Bourne, Lincolnshire, was entrusted to address the mechanical refurbishment. In 1980 the A6GCS was shipped to San Francisco, and the respected Phil Reilly & Co. in Corte Madera, California, was retained to continue the mechanical sorting, including significant attention from marque specialist Ivan Zaremba. Upon completion of the work, Mr. Colberg began enjoying the Maserati as it was engineered to be used, campaigning in vintage events and rallies that included the Monterey Historics and the 1986 Mille Miglia Storica. During this period the car was also prominently featured in an article in the January 1989 issue of Road & Track by the noted automotive journalists Dean Batchelor and John Lamm. After a remarkable ownership period of 26 years, Mr. Colberg sold the Maserati in 2004 to the consignor, a respected collector of top-shelf postwar Italian sports cars. Though 2012 remained in very good condition, the new owner opted to oversee a comprehensive restoration that included a freshening of the engine by Leydon Restorations in Pennsylvania. On the basis of this work the consignor enjoyed the A6GCS in several events, including the 2005 Mille Miglia Storica and the 2006 Fall Festival at Lime Rock. In 2007 the Maserati was further refined with a rebuild of the engine, gearbox, and steering system by the respected Nino Epifani in Northern California. The opportunity was taken to also refurbish the driveshaft, the universal joint, and the fuel tank. Additional event use soon followed, including participation at the 2010 Tutto Italiano. In May 2021 the Monofaro was entrusted to the specialists at Candini Classiche in Modena, Italy, where new purpose-designed pistons were installed, thereby intentionally lowering the engine compression. The head was fitted with new valves, guides, and springs, and new megacycle cams were installed. Benefitting from 18 years of fastidious attention by the consignor, this exquisite and rare A6GCS 2000 is offered in jewel-like condition, suitable for presentation at major concours d’elegance or further driving enjoyment. The car is believed to be one of just eight surviving examples, and it is eligible for the most exclusive vintage events worldwide. Chassis number 2012 is accompanied by a trove of documentation that includes copies of factory build documents and correspondence; factory completion photos; technical diagrams; period Maserati literature; prior registrations and bills of sale; service and restoration invoices from Phil Reilly, Leydon, Epifani, and Candini; a 2006 FIVA Card; a driving/racing logbook; and period and restoration photographs. Presented in such a state of splendor, the beautiful A6GCS ably attests to the brilliance of the Maserati brothers. It epitomizes the daring spirit and astounding engineering efforts of Modena during the postwar period, offering a true gem to discerning marque collectors and sports car racing connoisseurs. 1950 Maserati A6GCS 2000 Monofaro RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Although South American racing records of this period are not particularly well-documented, it is believed that 2012 participated in many races in Brazil and Argentina during the early 1950s, including events competed by such accomplished drivers as Juan Manuel Fangio and Froilán Gonzales. Records suggest that the car was subsequently raced by Annuar de Goes Daquer, including a 6th-place finish at the Circuito Quinta da Boa Vista in February 1952. At some point during 1952 the Maserati was returned to the factory for repairs that included the rebuild of the engine into a very unique configuration. The original head was removed and replaced with a dual-overhead-cam (bialbero) component with single ignition and an unusual cam design (with the linguette resting inside of the head’s V shape). It is believed that this modification constituted Maserati’s very first dual-overhead-cam engine head, significantly enriching 2012’s singular provenance. In December 1952 the A6GCS 2000 was returned to Mr. Dos Santos in Brazil, and it presumably returned to a life of racing in South American events. Unfortunately, the following 20 years of activity is not currently known (despite intense research efforts by the consignor), but in 1972 the car was discovered in a São Paulo yard by the well-known British enthusiast Colin Crabbe. As attested by period photos, the Monofaro had been repainted in rosso and remained in surprisingly strong condition, although the original nose had been modified with an egg-crate grille. THE ROAD TO RESTORATION Mr. Crabbe purchased chassis 2012 and shipped it to the UK, where it was acquired in 1973 by Alan Smith of Derby. After taking minimal measures toward a restoration, Mr. Smith sold the Maserati in 1977 to dealer Danny Margulies, and a year later the car passed through a proxy to Sid Colberg, the proprietor of Anglo American Auto Investments in San Francisco, California. Thus began a 26-year love affair between Mr. Colberg and the Monofaro, which he quickly set about restoring. Commencing in the UK, the work began with a correction of the coachwork by Grand Prix Metalcraft in North London, while Ted Bailey of Bourne, Lincolnshire, was entrusted to address the mechanical refurbishment. In 1980 the A6GCS was shipped to San Francisco, and the respected Phil Reilly & Co. in Corte Madera, California, was retained to continue the mechanical sorting, including significant attention from marque specialist Ivan Zaremba. Upon completion of the work, Mr. Colberg began enjoying the Maserati as it was engineered to be used, campaigning in vintage events and rallies that included the Monterey Historics and the 1986 Mille Miglia Storica. During this period the car was also prominently featured in an article in the January 1989 issue of Road & Track by the noted automotive journalists Dean Batchelor and John Lamm. After a remarkable ownership period of 26 years, Mr. Colberg sold the Maserati in 2004 to the consignor, a respected collector of top-shelf postwar Italian sports cars. Though 2012 remained in very good condition, the new owner opted to oversee a comprehensive restoration that included a freshening of the engine by Leydon Restorations in Pennsylvania. On the basis of this work the consignor enjoyed the A6GCS in several events, including the 2005 Mille Miglia Storica and the 2006 Fall Festival at Lime Rock. In 2007 the Maserati was further refined with a rebuild of the engine, gearbox, and steering system by the respected Nino Epifani in Northern California. The opportunity was taken to also refurbish the driveshaft, the universal joint, and the fuel tank. Additional event use soon followed, including participation at the 2010 Tutto Italiano. In May 2021 the Monofaro was entrusted to the specialists at Candini Classiche in Modena, Italy, where new purpose-designed pistons were installed, thereby intentionally lowering the engine compression. The head was fitted with new valves, guides, and springs, and new megacycle cams were installed. Benefitting from 18 years of fastidious attention by the consignor, this exquisite and rare A6GCS 2000 is offered in jewel-like condition, suitable for presentation at major concours d’elegance or further driving enjoyment. The car is believed to be one of just eight surviving examples, and it is eligible for the most exclusive vintage events worldwide. Chassis number 2012 is accompanied by a trove of documentation that includes copies of factory build documents and correspondence; factory completion photos; technical diagrams; period Maserati literature; prior registrations and bills of sale; service and restoration invoices from Phil Reilly, Leydon, Epifani, and Candini; a 2006 FIVA Card; a driving/racing logbook; and period and restoration photographs. Presented in such a state of splendor, the beautiful A6GCS ably attests to the brilliance of the Maserati brothers. It epitomizes the daring spirit and astounding engineering efforts of Modena during the postwar period, offering a true gem to discerning marque collectors and sports car racing connoisseurs.

  • 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 MKII

    If ever there was a person who needed convincing of the appeal of the Shelby Cobra, we’d position them on the outside of Lavant corner at the Goodwood Revival during the RAC TT Celebration race and leave them to watch as the train of competing Cobra 289s squirm and slither round virtually the entire lap on opposite lock. It’s a spectacle which treads the line between majestic and savage – an awe-inspiring recipe of brute force and deft skill. As the Texan chicken farmer turned Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby had the foresight to install a powerful American V8 into the lightweight and nimble chassis of the British AC Ace, so one of the all-time great sports cars was born: the Cobra. And it’s not difficult to understand why this Anglo-American creation has captured the imagination of so many millions of people over the decades. “The Cobra has everything you want in a sports car: striking good looks, commanding power, comparatively delicate poise and agility and a hair-raising annoy-the-hell-out-of-your-neighbours exhaust note.” Thinking about it, the Cobra has everything you want in a sports car. Striking good looks, commanding power, comparatively delicate poise and agility and a hair-raising annoy-the-hell-out-of-your-neighbours exhaust note. What’s more, because of the relatively straightforward underpinnings and the bulletproof nature of Ford’s small- and big-block V8s, the Cobra was reliable. It’s small wonder that Shelby enjoyed so much success with the Cobra 289 on the racetracks of North America. Beyond the Cobra’s credentials as a physical sports car, it embodies a greater philosophy – that of Carroll Shelby’s unrelenting American Dream. Of the myriad road and race AC- and Shelby-badged Cobras built between 1962 and ’67, the magnificent example we’re delighted to be offering is a Shelby 289 MKII, which started life in 1964. Chassis number CSX 2475 Thursday 2 July 1964. The SS Pacific Fortune sets sail from England bound for Los Angeles on the West Coast of America. Onboard? A raft of AC chassis, awaiting their transformation into snarling Ford V8-powered Cobra 289s in the hands of the Stetson-wearing engineers at the Shelby American skunkworks. Among them was the car we’re so excited to be offering today: chassis number CSX 2475. Ultimately finished in White over a black interior, CSX 2475 left Shelby American in November of 1964, specified with a number of ‘Class-A’ accessories including tinted sun-visors, adjustable wind wings, white-side-wall tyres, a rear-view mirror, a hard-top and side screens. Quite remarkably, the sun-visors, wind wings, hard-top and the side screens remain with the car today, almost 60 years later. This Cobra was transported from Los Angelese to Knoxville Cobra Sales Co. in Tennessee, where it was acquired by its first owner, one Jack Armstrong from Massachusetts. “CSX 2475 was specified with a number of ‘Class-A’ accessories including tinted sun-visors, adjustable wind wings, white-side-wall tyres, a rear-view mirror, a hard-top and side screens.” With a view to contesting autocross events, it’s believed Armstrong made a number of motorsport-minded modifications including the addition of Crane heads, a remote oil-cooler, an aluminium oil pan, competition seatbelts and a full-width removable roll bar (which, once again, remains with the car today). Chassis CSX 2475 stayed in Massachusetts until 1982, when it was acquired by Donald E. Escolas from Georgia. Escolas recalled the memorable experience of collecting his new Cobra from Gus Zuidema’s Competition Automotive outfit. “Gus insisted on a road test, and although his driveway was under construction and a mess of mud, he drove my immaculate Cobra through it with a big grin!” So commenced a 24-year love affair between Escolas and CSX 2475, during which the car was cherished, enjoyed as intended and shared with the world. In 1987, the Cobra was featured on the cover of the definitive Shelby American World Registry and later starred in commercial adverts on the MTV and ESPN television channels. In 2004, the car was noted as ‘retaining its original seat and dashboard coverings, hardtop and side curtains, with an odometer just short of 40k original miles’. This Shelby Cobra passed through the hands of three further US-based owners and as the myriad accompanying maintenance invoices attest, they picked up right where Escolas left off with regards to properly looking after the car. Chassis CSX 2475 finally made the trip back across the Atlantic in January of 2017, joining the distinguished collection of Prince Rahim Aga Khan. The Cobra was subsequently registered in the United Kingdom with the number it retains to this day. “Today, it’s the condition – and, more specifically, the beguiling patina - of this unrestored Cobra that dazzles the most.” This Shelby was acquired by its current UK-based owner – a man with an extraordinary collection of historically significant road and competition cars including a Ferrari 250 GTO - in February of 2019 and has since only been used seldomly. Today, it’s the condition – and, more specifically, the beguiling patina - of this unrestored Cobra that dazzles the most. The exterior paintwork, applied by Gus Zuidema in 1980, has stood the test of time beautifully, showing wear commensurate with its age and only small signs of discolouration and blistering. The original black upholstery has accrued a deep shine with age and, despite the 45,000 miles on the odometer, has not worn excessively or torn. Even the competition seat belts, which were added by the car’s first owner, remain in place. As previously mentioned, the original factory hard top, soft top (including frames) side screens and roll bar accompany the car. The original Stewart-Warner gauges are all present and correct, including the rare additional SW fuel-pressure gauge which is noted in the Shelby American World Registry. Beneath the bonnet the original white paint is present on the firewall and, amazingly, the original wrapping remains around the front leaf springs. Suffice to say, chassis CSX 2475 wears its years of diligent care and enjoyment with pride. And from behind the wheel, it’s every bit as enjoyable as it is to ogle – fizzing with feel and that silky smooth and unresistant feel of an old car that’s never been completely apart. It’s an incredibly special car that deserves to be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 MKII Girardo & Co.

At the time, the Ghibli was supplied with a ZF gearbox as standard. That piece of German technology ensures that you have the best of both worlds. The carriage is as Italian as can be, Giorgetto Giugaro designed the car for Ghia in his younger years. He then founded his own design house and continued with the Iso Grifo and De Tomaso Mangusta, not the least of which are cars. This Maserati Ghibli was originally delivered in Belgium. A matching numbers car, factory correct in Celeste Chiaro, impressive documentation and also the early Ghibli with the beautiful 4.7 block. Investment-wise exactly what you want. Between 2015 and 2018 they restored the Nut & Bolt car. The car is technically and optically in fantastic condition, and the interior is even completely original.
