- 1986 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
This V8 Vantage Zagato was supplied on the 21st November 1986 to Mr G. Strok, Esq., Weybridge, by H.W.M Ltd, of Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. This rare grand-tourer was delivered in Lightning Silver coachwork with Burgundy Connolly leather trim and Black Alcantara Headlining One of just 50 coupe examples built during the model’s four-year production run, this British GT was extravagantly styled by the famed Italian coachbuilder ‘Carrozzeria Zagato’. This very car featured in a 4-page review in Motorsport Magazine in September 1987 (original copy on file), the author concluded ‘Sensational, yes, but also composed; brutish but obedient, razor sharp without being difficult to control’ Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V8, delivering 430bhp to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, our car rides on a brand new set of “new style” Ronal wheels shod with new Michelin tyres. This stunning example was later exported to Hong Kong in 1995 and repatriated to the UK in 2004, owned throughout that period by a noted Asian collector In 2017, nearly £10,000 was spent with Aston Martin specialist Nicholas Mee & Co on extensive servicing and improvements including the installation of a Harvey Bailey handling kit comprising a revised front anti-roll bar, front shock absorbers and new coil springs front and rear. A Bluetooth-compatible Alpine stereo was also fitted at this stage. In 2018, Aston Martin Works replaced the front brake discs and performed additional maintenance at a cost of over £2,000 The Zagato has just returned from marque specialists Quantum Works in December 2023 having been fully serviced and thoroughly gone through, now ready for immediate use by its future and lucky owner Accompanied by an extensive history file containing maintenance invoices, historic MOT test certificates and old Motor Vehicle Licences from the car’s time in Hong Kong, this car passed an advisory free MOT on 8th November 2023 and is offered for sale in superb condition. The appropriate cherished UK road registration ‘VZ 268’ is also included The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Zagato is in our opinion the ultimate iteration of the V8 range and a true drivers Aston Martin.

- 1964-aston-martin-db5-convertible-1
The sporting DB4 served Aston Martin magnificently across its five series but in 1963, the time came to introduce the revised DB5. Regarded by many as the marque’s finest Italianate-era entry, once again the model made use of Touring of Milan’s lightweight tubular Superleggera construction method that supported alloy body panels. Underneath the beautiful skin, the famed straight-six designed by Tadek Marek grew from 3,670 cc up to 4 litres to produce a healthy 282 brake horsepower. To enjoy the driving experience even more, between 1963 and 1965, the Newport Pagnell factory built 123 DB5 Convertibles. With 39 of those configured for use abroad, a mere 84 were completed in right-hand-drive form suited for British roads. Such an intoxicating recipe found favour with the great and the good. A broad spectrum of past and present famous owners of the rare DB5 Convertible reportedly included Peter Sellers, Princess Magaret, Prince Michael of Kent, Elle Macpherson, Ralph Lauren, and, perhaps less surprisingly, former Aston Martin boss Sir David Brown. According to the accompanying copy of the Vehicle Heritage Certificate issued in April 2013 by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, chassis number DB5C/1509/R offered here was delivered on 10 July 1964 to a dealership in Brooklands. This right-hand-drive car was configured in Platinum to complement a Black soft-top roof and an interior trimmed with Black Connolly leather. Originally, a 4-litre straight-six was paired with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. The first owner is listed as Clearmount Limited of New Bond Street, London. From November 1987, the DB5 Convertible was owned by Mr Philip Barton-Wright from Grays in Essex. He kept the car for almost 13 years before it was acquired by the Germany-based consignor. However, before taking delivery of chassis number DB5C/1509/R in late-1999, he tasked The Aston Workshop of Beamish in County Durham with a major overhaul. Most notably, after the bodyshell was acid-treated, the car was changed to its current metallic Silver Birch hue. In addition, the dashboard was restored, a new black mohair roof and wire wheels were fitted, the gearbox and rear axle rebuilt, the carburettors refreshed, and uprated anti-roll bars equipped as part of work totalling £48,000 (invoice available to view on file). Since completion, the DB5 Convertible has formed part of the seller’s pre- and post-war Aston Martin collection. In 2008, the DB5 did return to the United Kingdom ahead of an extensive rebuild of the replacement engine. Aston Engineering of Derby was tasked with the overhaul, which notably included boring out the straight-six to desirable 4.2-litre capacity. In addition to installing new pistons supplied by Cosworth, the cylinder head was refurbished, the camshaft covers powder coated, and the three SU carburettors rebuilt at a cost of £12,530. A further £8,609 was spent with the marque specialist to cover the costs of a replacement clutch and flywheel, a service of the brakes, and greasing the chassis. The Aston Martin is notably accompanied by a restamped spare engine block in addition to a jack, tool roll, plus spare wheel. Currently featuring an uprated engine that is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this DB5 Convertible could offer a thrilling open-air driving experience to its next owner. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Convertible RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing
Extremely late 1957 production special order example accompanied by aftermarket Rudge wheels, factory luggage, belly pans, and copious documentation. Previously restored by Scott Grundfor, and retained by him as his personal car for nearly a decade. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing remains one of the most important and iconic vehicles ever constructed. With cultural, artistic, and performance influence spanning six decades, the Gullwing continues to inspire enthusiasts all over the world. Originally released in 1954 with production culminating in 1957, 1,400 cars were produced and delivered to a wide range of clientele, eager to own one of the finest road-going sports cars ever assembled for public use. A triumph of engineering and design, the 300SL offered fuel-injection (the first of its kind) achieving the world's fastest top speed at that time. The 300 SL (S-Sport, L-Light) confirmed Max Hoffman’s challenge to Mercedes-Benz engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut – to build a Gran-Prix car tailored for road use. The 300 SL would span several years of racing achievements while simultaneously spawning a new age of ultra-performance cars, creating a legacy that inspires modern Mercedes-Benz design and excellence throughout their current premium offerings. This particular 300SL Gullwing is one of the last built. Completed in 1957, this is one of just 70 cars produced in this final year, and the 18th car from the very last produced. Originally finished in white with red interior, it was purchased in Dusseldorf in April 1957 by John Pallon, then a US Army serviceman. Pallon had the car shipped to his home in Studio City, California where it remained under his ownership until selling to Harold Bailey, Inglewood, CA and then to Seth Hammond, Culver City, CA. In 1986, a client of Scott Grundfor, Naohiro Ishikawa, purchased the car and brought it to Scott Restorations for a comprehensive restoration. Ishikawa, a respected collector from Sapporo, Japan had previously restored several classic Mercedes-Benzes with Scott Restorations. Shortly after his purchase, this Gullwing was comprehensively restored for Ishikawa including full paint, interior, chrome, engine, suspension, all exterior and suspension rubber, new wiring harness, brakes, and injection pump. In 1990, Grundfor traded another car for this car, retaining it as one of his personal cars until 1998 when it was purchased by the current owner. As part of the purchase, the current consigning owner asked Grundfor to restore the car to a “99 point” restoration, as outlined in a letter confirmed by Grundfor included with the supporting documents on file with this car. Paying an additional $40,000 for the restoration services, the car was repainted the current silver metallic, the interior fully reupholstered, chrome wheels added, and a modern air conditioning system installed. Details of the restoration also included new windshield molding, a new steering wheel turn signal assembly, emergency brake handle, improved chrome gauge bezels, new pop out window rubbers, misc. interior chrome plating, refinishing under the hood, trunk refinishing, hose clamps, and misc. hardware. Over the past 25 years of current ownership, the owner has enjoyed the car in the states and exported it to Brazil where it has been driven internationally. In 2015, while in transit back to California, the rear of the car was damaged on the bumper and left rear quarter panel. Experts at Canepa Designs repaired the car to a very high standard tending to additional details at a cost of $37,000. Satisfied with the high quality of work performed at Canepa, the owner returned the car for extensive mechanical services totaling an additional $109,000 including removing and repairing the fuel tank, new fuel hoses, new fuel lines, disassembly and cleaning the fuel pump, rebuild for cold start enrichment, fuel injection adjustments, engine cleaning and detailing, new filters and fluids, points, condenser, removal and refinishing for the radiator, new hoses, a new Borla stainless-steel exhaust system (painted satin black), new hangers, and new heat shields. Work performed on the engine, transmission, clutch, interior, various trim, and detailed features are documented in nine two-inch notebooks spanning seven years of continued regular services performed at Canepa Designs with detailed photos and reference notes outlining all services. In December 2022 a new set of tires and tubes were installed, a new generator and voltage regulator installed, and a new windshield fitted at Burlingame Motors, Burlingame, CA. In preparation for sale, A&C Auto Air & Radiator, Inc., San Rafael, CA purged and recharged the AC system which blows cold conditioned air throughout the cabin, with Burlingame Motors further sorting the car in September 2023. Today this rare and beautiful Gullwing offers an impressive presence with excellent cosmetics and superb mechanical continuity. The silver metallic paint is uniformly fluid and remains glossy and smooth with attractive presentation throughout. The doors, hood, and trunk gaps are excellent having all benefited from the extensive 99-point restoration performed in 1998 and further enhanced by Canepa Designs from 2015-2021. The hood and trunk open and shut smoothly and the iconic doors easily open, sustaining upright position without sagging. In addition to the doors exhibiting excellent closure, the fit is consistent at both the roof and lower portion of the door parting lines where panel alignment often becomes compromised over time. The trim, chrome, and lenses are all in excellent condition. The wheels are correctly dated for this series car and a spare set of remanufactured Rudge wheels are included. The interior of the car has a very nice look and feel with excellent harmony to the surfaces which have only slightly mellowed over time. High quality workmanship and excellent finish details are evident in the seating surfaces, stitching, and tufting, while a beautifully fitted leather topped dash conveys a finishing touch to the leather interior. The stunning red color is consistent and smooth. Contrasting headliner and fitted carpet creates an elegant and composed feel to the cockpit, particularly accented by the delightful bits of chrome, and a full array of detailed instrumentation. The dashboard is beautiful, with exceptionally nice gauges, all functioning as expected. The miles per hour speedometer dial has been covered with a kilometer face, which was required for driving while in Brazil. The odometer mechanism has not been altered and still records in miles. All ivory-color interior parts remain very nice showing only minor evidence of use. The beautifully crafted luggage appears to be original with finishes that have sympathetically aged to a warm inviting patina. The overall visual impact of the interior is quite impressive, exhibiting consistently uniform finishes in harmony with the exterior - just the sort of combination one might expect from a well-restored car that has been enjoyed, though fastidiously refined both mechanically and cosmetically to a high level. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment present beautifully with correct finishes, proper fittings, attention to detail including correct labels and fasteners, and more recent freshening to many finishes and engine decals. All systems operate properly including the air conditioning system which has been recently recharged and blows cold, a highly desirable feature in a Gullwing for anyone who wishes to drive this car in moderate temperatures or in lengthy motoring events. As one might expect from a car that has been sorted and well-maintained, mechanical performance is consistent with the cosmetic condition. It would not be a stretch to state that the operational features are among the best we have seen in a Gullwing. The car starts readily and settles into a crisp lightly toned idle burbling though the desirable stainless-steel exhaust. Shifting is smooth and confident with excellent feel to the gearbox particularly when warm. Suspension is very nice on the highway and quite responsive on corners considering the era of this design. Braking and downshifting are quite effective with a helpful boost in stopping power supplied by braking assist. Although the car has been driven and enjoyed, the owner has not scrimped on detailing the chassis and underside components as these areas remain in very good condition overall with just minor evidence of use shown in the correctly finished components. The integrity of the restoration given to the upper surfaces is reflected diligently in the underside including the complete set of rare belly pans, often lost or misplaced simply due to the passage of time. All suspension and engine components have been restored to a high standard using correct finishes and fasteners consistent with the era. The chassis integrity supports the known history from new with decades of California ownership spanning the majority of the life of this fine Gullwing. This Gullwing comes with a set of fitted luggage (likely original to this car), a pivot type steering wheel, a set of four reproduction Rudge wheels and a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Owner’s Manual, Also included with the sale are nine large three-ring binders documenting the restoration and mechanical services performed while under the past 25 years of current ownership, as well as copies of handwritten correspondences from Scott Grundfor documenting the car, the terms of purchase, and the history of this Gullwing. One of the most advanced sports cars available when new, the 300SL Gullwing was brimming with innovative features, many of which remain today as hallmarks of superlative automotive engineering. Sporty, elegant, and exclusive, just 70 examples were built in 1957, the final year of production. Ongoing appreciation from astute enthusiasts has continued to grow due to the timeless beauty, exceptional build quality, and rarity of the incomparable Gullwing. Whether a defining centerpiece to a world class collection, or a singular example of excellence for a vintage enthusiast, this 300 SL Gullwing will prominently convey all the majesty of this premier brand as a sporting testimonial to the Mercedes-Benz legacy. Ready for enjoyable driving, events, or fun excursions, just as originally intended, the care and mechanical attention dedicated to this 300SL Gullwing will always retain its vaulted status as one of the most desirable sports cars of the 20th century. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
Incredibly Well-Sorted Genuine Sprint Veloce Lightweight. Mille Miglia Retrospective and California Mille Veteran. Powered by Fresh Conrad Stevenson 1500cc Engine and Offered with spare 1750cc Powerplant. Well-Documented and Ready For Virtually Any Event Worldwide. Alfa Romeo, the giant of Italian automobile manufacturing, turned their focus after the second world war to more volume-based production and larger market growth. Intent on building fine cars for broader markets, the sporting vitality and stylish designs of the early 50s Alfas would become legendary. On the racetrack, just as Alfa-Romeo had dominated in the past, their lightweight models benefited from mild engine tuning creating cars that could run with the pack in the hands of capable privateers or greet the cheering masses with top level drivers in the winner’s circle. The first Giulietta was the Bertone penned Sprint coupe. Modest in design but elegantly simple, the 1300cc twin cam engine was the perfect pairing for the market, becoming an instant success with youthful, style-conscious Europeans eager to begin their post-war lives with an exciting sports car as part of their success. For those who sought more performance, the Veloce was made available in 1956 as well as the rare and highly desirable lightweight or “Alleggerita” – the top performing of the series. To build this special variant, Bertone fitted an alloy hood, door skins, lighter bumpers, and lighter headlight bezels to the stamped steel body. Further enhancements included lighter engine components, lightened interiors, and sliding plexiglass side windows replacing the heavier glass units found in the standard Sprint models. Built for performance, the heavy rear seat was removed, replaced with a flat parcel area, and all typical sound deadening was eliminated once again to save weight. The resultant car was not only faster than a standard Sprint, it offered nimble handling and fantastic versatility in a range of driving conditions. General Overview According to reference information noted in the FIVA Identity Card issued in 1998, this factory lightweight Sprint was first sold July 26, 1956, to Marc Peccolo, Angoleme, France. The next owner of record is noted as Jacques Ricord, Nice, France. By 1993 the car is reported to have been restored by Carrozeria Flli Gabiati/Milano, Italy and AJR/ Nice, France. On April 7, 1998, the car was issued a FIVA card, then under German ownership with the notation that the car was fitted with a 101 type gearbox. Having been purchased by well-known sports car enthusiast Roger Hoffman, the car arrived in California around 2001 where it was treated to extensive mechanical work by Alfa Romeo expert Conrad Stevenson. Some years later, Hoffman engages Fantasy Junction to sell the car to Frank Gabrielli who, in 2014, sells the car to the current owner, a Northern California vintage Alfa Romeo enthusiast. Being very particular about his cars being both cosmetically and mechanically prepared to a high standard, the current owner spent the past seven years refining the car ensuring that all mechanical systems were in top order, all instruments were dialed in and functional, all lighting was both correct and functional, and any errant wind noises were properly resolved with correct fit to the doors, glass, and rubber. Even the heater was correctly wired and ducted to function properly. Accompanying the car are extensive copies of invoices for mechanical and cosmetic work copiously detailing with photos and specifications the efforts extended to prepare this car to the level it is today. The 1300cc engine rebuild is detailed by Stevenson with notation for specifications, measurements, and a dyno chart along with rear axle and brake specifications, complete interior upholstery and seat framework overview, suspension work, and glass and weatherstrip replacement – to name just a few of the many aspects of the ongoing improvements and refurbishment performed on the car. Additional notes are also provided for the 1750cc engine which was in excellent operation as late as August 2021 shortly before being removed for the 1300cc engine installation that represents the current running configuration. General Condition Today this Alfa Romeo offers a handsome, consistent, and well-sorted presentation. The paint is glossy with excellent coverage throughout, and very nice panel fit, particularly so given the alloy body panel fit to the steel main structure. The various bright work has been redone to a high level with excellent grille and trim over each side opening. The sporting competition road lights added to the front bumper deliver a nice rally touch to the look of the car. The steel wheels have been painted with the correct silver finish, void of fussy wheel cover mounting clips. The Vredestein tires are correctly sized to the car and the suspension is set just right for the wheel openings giving the car excellent stance. The side glass garnish molding allows for sliding plexiglass windows specific to the lightweight configuration as mounted to the alloy-skinned doors. Fit and finish for all the lighting, trim, emblems, and other specific details has been restored to a very high standard. The interior, completed in 2014, under current ownership is particularly handsome in both finish and colors. The leather seating surfaces are beautifully finished as are the door panels, headliner, and carpeting all the way back into the rear parcel area that is unique to the lightweight configuration. Accenting the original instruments, each of the three dials and the wood rim Nardi steering wheel collectively compose what must be considered one of the best-looking dashboards of this era. The dash houses an array of original knobs and switches flanked by handsome door levers, Alfa-Romeo branded foot pedals, and polished door thresholds. The cockpit of this Veloce is a delightful engagement of purpose and beauty, which is only further enriched by the driving experience once behind the wheel. The engine compartment is beautifully presented, currently housing a period-correct non-matching numbers 1300cc engine, built to 1500cc, by expert Conrad Stevenson as documented in the invoices accompanying the car. In addition to this engine, the car previously ran a 1750cc engine which is offered with the spares. The engine bay is prepared using factory finishes, hardware, and fasteners, delivering authentic vintage including correct Weber carburetors, factory type hoses and air induction plenum, silver quilted hood insulation pad, textured black cam cover finish, and correctly detailed engine auxiliary components. The trunk is properly prepared with a matching spare tire and jack mounted in place and housing the rear mounted battery. The undercarriage eschews show level detail but still presents quite clean and very well resolved showing solid floor pans and rockers, clean engine and drivetrain castings, and no signs of structural compromise to the floor or suspension mounts. Having driven the car both as the currently configured 1300cc engine and the previous 1750cc version, we are pleased to say that the character and quality of the driving experience are very well balanced in both instances. This is a wonderful, dialed in car with a cohesive feel, excellent driving manners, and great sounds. The driving experience, coupled with very rewarding cosmetics, is very rewarding. The 1300cc engine is not peaking under throttle, indicating plenty of available power in the rev range. Driving is responsive and effortless with each shift, entering corner after corner with tight suspension, brakes that pull down straight, and solid pedals that respond properly on demand. The comfortable seats, wonderful exhaust note, and lightweight “feel” at the wheel heartily delivers on the Veloce lightweight promise at every corner. This is a delightful Giulietta Sprint Veloce “Alleggerita” ready for show or events with a high level of mechanical and cosmetic confidence offering the rarity of factory lightweight construction and miles and miles of pure Alfa Romeo enjoyment for the next fortunate owner. Items Included with the Car This Alfa Romeo is offered with the spare 1750cc engine (AR00531*01267*), car cover, roadside safety kit, spare lug wrench, and an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Instruction Book and case. 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Fantasy Junction 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 Incredibly Well-Sorted Genuine Sprint Veloce Lightweight. Mille Miglia Retrospective and California Mille Veteran. Powered by Fresh Conrad Stevenson 1500cc Engine and Offered with spare 1750cc Powerplant. Well-Documented and Ready For Virtually Any Event Worldwide. Alfa Romeo, the giant of Italian automobile manufacturing, turned their focus after the second world war to more volume-based production and larger market growth. Intent on building fine cars for broader markets, the sporting vitality and stylish designs of the early 50s Alfas would become legendary. On the racetrack, just as Alfa-Romeo had dominated in the past, their lightweight models benefited from mild engine tuning creating cars that could run with the pack in the hands of capable privateers or greet the cheering masses with top level drivers in the winner’s circle. The first Giulietta was the Bertone penned Sprint coupe. Modest in design but elegantly simple, the 1300cc twin cam engine was the perfect pairing for the market, becoming an instant success with youthful, style-conscious Europeans eager to begin their post-war lives with an exciting sports car as part of their success. For those who sought more performance, the Veloce was made available in 1956 as well as the rare and highly desirable lightweight or “Alleggerita” – the top performing of the series. To build this special variant, Bertone fitted an alloy hood, door skins, lighter bumpers, and lighter headlight bezels to the stamped steel body. Further enhancements included lighter engine components, lightened interiors, and sliding plexiglass side windows replacing the heavier glass units found in the standard Sprint models. Built for performance, the heavy rear seat was removed, replaced with a flat parcel area, and all typical sound deadening was eliminated once again to save weight. The resultant car was not only faster than a standard Sprint, it offered nimble handling and fantastic versatility in a range of driving conditions. General Overview According to reference information noted in the FIVA Identity Card issued in 1998, this factory lightweight Sprint was first sold July 26, 1956, to Marc Peccolo, Angoleme, France. The next owner of record is noted as Jacques Ricord, Nice, France. By 1993 the car is reported to have been restored by Carrozeria Flli Gabiati/Milano, Italy and AJR/ Nice, France. On April 7, 1998, the car was issued a FIVA card, then under German ownership with the notation that the car was fitted with a 101 type gearbox. Having been purchased by well-known sports car enthusiast Roger Hoffman, the car arrived in California around 2001 where it was treated to extensive mechanical work by Alfa Romeo expert Conrad Stevenson. Some years later, Hoffman engages Fantasy Junction to sell the car to Frank Gabrielli who, in 2014, sells the car to the current owner, a Northern California vintage Alfa Romeo enthusiast. Being very particular about his cars being both cosmetically and mechanically prepared to a high standard, the current owner spent the past seven years refining the car ensuring that all mechanical systems were in top order, all instruments were dialed in and functional, all lighting was both correct and functional, and any errant wind noises were properly resolved with correct fit to the doors, glass, and rubber. Even the heater was correctly wired and ducted to function properly. Accompanying the car are extensive copies of invoices for mechanical and cosmetic work copiously detailing with photos and specifications the efforts extended to prepare this car to the level it is today. The 1300cc engine rebuild is detailed by Stevenson with notation for specifications, measurements, and a dyno chart along with rear axle and brake specifications, complete interior upholstery and seat framework overview, suspension work, and glass and weatherstrip replacement – to name just a few of the many aspects of the ongoing improvements and refurbishment performed on the car. Additional notes are also provided for the 1750cc engine which was in excellent operation as late as August 2021 shortly before being removed for the 1300cc engine installation that represents the current running configuration. General Condition Today this Alfa Romeo offers a handsome, consistent, and well-sorted presentation. The paint is glossy with excellent coverage throughout, and very nice panel fit, particularly so given the alloy body panel fit to the steel main structure. The various bright work has been redone to a high level with excellent grille and trim over each side opening. The sporting competition road lights added to the front bumper deliver a nice rally touch to the look of the car. The steel wheels have been painted with the correct silver finish, void of fussy wheel cover mounting clips. The Vredestein tires are correctly sized to the car and the suspension is set just right for the wheel openings giving the car excellent stance. The side glass garnish molding allows for sliding plexiglass windows specific to the lightweight configuration as mounted to the alloy-skinned doors. Fit and finish for all the lighting, trim, emblems, and other specific details has been restored to a very high standard. The interior, completed in 2014, under current ownership is particularly handsome in both finish and colors. The leather seating surfaces are beautifully finished as are the door panels, headliner, and carpeting all the way back into the rear parcel area that is unique to the lightweight configuration. Accenting the original instruments, each of the three dials and the wood rim Nardi steering wheel collectively compose what must be considered one of the best-looking dashboards of this era. The dash houses an array of original knobs and switches flanked by handsome door levers, Alfa-Romeo branded foot pedals, and polished door thresholds. The cockpit of this Veloce is a delightful engagement of purpose and beauty, which is only further enriched by the driving experience once behind the wheel. The engine compartment is beautifully presented, currently housing a period-correct non-matching numbers 1300cc engine, built to 1500cc, by expert Conrad Stevenson as documented in the invoices accompanying the car. In addition to this engine, the car previously ran a 1750cc engine which is offered with the spares. The engine bay is prepared using factory finishes, hardware, and fasteners, delivering authentic vintage including correct Weber carburetors, factory type hoses and air induction plenum, silver quilted hood insulation pad, textured black cam cover finish, and correctly detailed engine auxiliary components. The trunk is properly prepared with a matching spare tire and jack mounted in place and housing the rear mounted battery. The undercarriage eschews show level detail but still presents quite clean and very well resolved showing solid floor pans and rockers, clean engine and drivetrain castings, and no signs of structural compromise to the floor or suspension mounts. Having driven the car both as the currently configured 1300cc engine and the previous 1750cc version, we are pleased to say that the character and quality of the driving experience are very well balanced in both instances. This is a wonderful, dialed in car with a cohesive feel, excellent driving manners, and great sounds. The driving experience, coupled with very rewarding cosmetics, is very rewarding. The 1300cc engine is not peaking under throttle, indicating plenty of available power in the rev range. Driving is responsive and effortless with each shift, entering corner after corner with tight suspension, brakes that pull down straight, and solid pedals that respond properly on demand. The comfortable seats, wonderful exhaust note, and lightweight “feel” at the wheel heartily delivers on the Veloce lightweight promise at every corner. This is a delightful Giulietta Sprint Veloce “Alleggerita” ready for show or events with a high level of mechanical and cosmetic confidence offering the rarity of factory lightweight construction and miles and miles of pure Alfa Romeo enjoyment for the next fortunate owner. Items Included with the Car This Alfa Romeo is offered with the spare 1750cc engine (AR00531*01267*), car cover, roadside safety kit, spare lug wrench, and an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Instruction Book and case.

- 1991 Audi V8 quattro DTM
Established in 1984 as the Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft—the German Production Car Championship—before transitioning to its more familiar Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterchaft moniker in 1986, the DTM rapidly emerged as the most prestigious touring car championship in continental Europe. Strictly enforced Group A regulations and a performance-based weight handicap system promoted a relatively level playing field as the series became a byword for spectacular and competitive racing. For the 1988 season, a “double header” race weekend format was introduced, which was accompanied by an upsurge in manufacturer interest from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Ford. Furthermore, the collapse of the European Touring Car Championship at the end of that year hastened the arrival of grandee teams including Eggenberger and Schnitzer for 1989, as well as star drivers such as ex-Formula 1 pilots Johnny Cecotto and Bernd Schneider, Touring Car greats Steve Soper and Roberto Ravaglia, and Sports Car legends Klaus Ludwig and Manuel Reuter. Following Ford’s withdrawal, the 1990 season looked set to be a bilateral contest between BMW and Mercedes-Benz, with both marques entering no less than four Works-backed teams. However, it was a single factory-supported, Schmidt Motorsport-run Audi V8 quattro that attracted the greatest attention as the Ingolstadt marque embarked upon an official DTM campaign for the first time. Piloted by former World Sports Car Champion Hans-Joachim Stuck, its superb four-wheel-drive system rendered it the class of the field; the German winning seven of a possible 22 races to secure the title. For 1991, Schmidt expanded to a two-car operation, with 22-year-old karting prodigy Hubert Haupt joining Stuck in the team. Audi’s presence was also bolstered by a second Works-backed outfit; the Audi Zentrum Reutlingen squad running cars for Franks Biela and Jelinski. Duly updated to “Evolution” specification, the V8 quattro’s 3.5-litre engine by now produced almost 500 horsepower, while a new front splitter and adjustable-height rear wing offered significant aerodynamic advances. BMW initially set the pace by winning the first four races, but enviable consistency and three wins in the final four rounds handed Biela the title ahead of the Mercedes-Benz-mounted Ludwig and Stuck. Incredibly, this represented the first time a manufacturer had sealed back-to-back DTM titles. Audi’s dominance was underlined by Biela winning two of the four end-of-season ITR races to also secure the ITR Driver’s Cup. Originally one of the Schmidt Motorsport-run cars, this stunning example—chassis LN000049—made its race debut in the opening round of the 1991 Championship, at Zolder. Driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck, it finished a superb 2nd behind Cecotto’s BMW in the second race, ahead of Biela’s similar car. However, after a sequence of three retirements in four races, Haupt took over the driving duties at Avus; the Bavarian finishing 4th and 3rd on a weekend when Audi swept the podium in both races. Thereafter, the car reverted to Stuck, who subsequently took three excellent wins at Norisring, Diepholz, and Singen to cement his 3rd place in the Championship. If Audi’s 1991 season had been unmitigated triumph, then 1992 proved acrimonious. The team’s early season pace was overshadowed by BMW and Mercedes-Benz lobbying successfully for the quattro’s minimum weight to be increased to 1,300 kilograms, and frequent protests centring around the legality—or otherwise—of the quattro’s crankshaft. A Biela-Stuck 1-2 at Nürburgring aside, there were few other results of note, and Stuck’s 6th place at Avus was to prove the final significant result for chassis LN000049. Indeed, so toxic was the prevailing political situation that Audi withdrew mid-season; the Nürburgring Nordschleife round in June representing the marque’s Championship swansong. Having remained in Audi’s care for more than two decades, chassis LN000049 was acquired in April 2014 by its illustrious former driver, Hupert Haupt, who promptly entrusted it to Imgrund Motorsport of Hüttenhausen, Germany for complete restoration to 1991 specification. The work performed including rebuilding the car’s complex transmission and suspension, as well as rewiring, replumbing and the fitment of a 4.2-litre engine; the latter unit offering superior torque and slightly lower maximum revs. Exquisitely finished in its correct 1991-specification Audi Sport livery, chassis LN000049 is supported by an extensive spares package including its original race engine, two spare sets of wheels, a wiring harness, a complete braking system, and a period-correct laptop for data download purposes. Used only minimally since completion, the car is accompanied by an FIA Historical Technical Passport and represents a highly attractive and competitive entry into the numerous historic and Youngtimer touring car events for which it is eligible. 1991 Audi V8 quattro DTM RM Sotheby's 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.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright 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.

- 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.

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. Other Cars from Girardo & Co.

- 1968 Maserati Ghibli
- Maserati, the excellent choice for the man of taste who just wants something special and different. - The Italian charm shines through, you immediately get the feeling that you are taking Gina Lollobrigida for a luxurious bite to eat. Maserati has a big name today, these types of models are the reason that Maserati deserves grandeur. The Ghibli, named after a warm air flow, and we now understand that here. When you cruise by car it feels like you are being taken on a magic carpet, all the space around you and a great force moving you forward. The sound of this Ghibli is exactly what you want from a classic eight-cylinder. There are a lot of things besides that that make the car great. 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. The great thing about a Ghibli dashboard? A hundred buttons that no one knows what they are for, but everything works in this car. This sixties supercar is waiting for a new owner who enjoys long, comfortable rides with air conditioning.

- 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1
Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster Series 1 First registration 01.1965 FIVA Identity Card Swiss road registration with veteran entry The swinging sixties were only just beginning to gain momentum when Jaguar made a brilliant design statement at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, the impact of which would go beyond that of an iconic new sports car. Because with its sensually charged shapes and bold proportions – eternally long hood, short rear – the new Jaguar E-Type shaped a new era. The design of the Jaguar E-Type came from Malcolm Sayers – the special appeal lay in the combination of charisma and driving performance. This Jaguar was intended to replace the D-Type used in racing, but was modified for the road after its retirement from motorsport. In terms of performance, the E-Type competed with sports cars in the highest performance class, but these were twice as expensive. This Jaguar E-Type with 4.2-litre is already the advanced version after the 3.8-litre and therefore has the fully synchronized 4-speed gearbox. The visual features of the Series 1 make this E-Type the most desirable collector’s item and its delicate elegance is unfortunately no longer matched by the later models. A few years ago, this E-Type 4.2 OTS was completely dismantled and restored. A detailed photo documentation documents the corresponding work. The car has a FIVA Identity Card, Swiss road registration and is veteran-approved. We are offering this beautiful, sporty and passionate roadster in top-maintained and wonderful collector’s condition. 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
