Of all the great 1960s sports cars, few are as influential or as infamous as the legendary Shelby Cobra. A fortunate partnership between AC and their lightweight British sports car, and Le Mans-winning driver Carroll Shelby resulted in the latest Ford lightweight V-8 sitting in the European fettled chassis of the Ace. The result of this transplant contributed enormously to Ford’s motorsport dominance of International Sports Car racing during the late 1960s. European chassis dynamics partnered with the power of the new V-8 meant that in competition trim, Cobras achieved an impressive record. The 260ci (4.2-litre) prototype first ran in January 1962, with production commencing later that year. Exclusively for the USA initially, Cobras - minus engines - were sent from England to be finished off by Shelby in California, and it was not until late in 1963 that AC Cars in Thames Ditton got around to building the first fully finished cars to European specification. After 75 cars had been built, the 289ci (4.7-litre) unit was standardised in 1963. Rack-and-pinion steering was the next major up-date; then in 1965 a new, stronger, coil-suspended chassis was introduced to accommodate Ford's 427ci (7.0-litre) V8, an engine that in race trim was capable of producing well in excess of 400bhp. Wider bodywork, extended wheelarch flares and a bigger radiator intake combined to create the definitive - and often imitated - Cobra 427 look. Today in Historic Racing, the "Pre 63" era of race series is one of the very best in the Historic Motorsport Scene blessed with some of the most beautiful racing cars ever produced such as the Ferrari 250 SWBs, 250 GTOs, Aston Martin DB4 GTs, early AC Cobras (260ci items only) and the early Jaguar E-Types which are distinguished from the later “Semi Lightweight” variants by their wire wheels, bumpers and SU Carburettors. Not only does the grid look much “prettier” than the later Pre-66 Grids but the cars have noticeably less grip leading to wonderful racing which has proved such a delight that it spawned in 2016 a new race at the Goodwood Revival – The “Kinrara Trophy” which has since become the new highlight of the Revival Meeting. Laterly it has been renamed the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy and will usually be the opening race of the event into the dusk on Friday evening. This success and appeal has been noted in Europe as well with the establishment of a complimentary series under the Peter Auto umbrella too. Retaining the original narrow-bodied lines of the AC Ace, this rare 260 (denoted as such due to the engine having 260 cubic inches of capacity) was from the genesis of the relationship of Caroll Shelby with the humble British sports car, from a time before the elegant and simplistic form of the AC gave way the flared arches and wide tyres of the 289, and the later and even more evolved 427. This specific car was invoiced to Shelby American on 25th October 1962, and was optioned with aluminium rocker arm covers, wind-wings, sun visors, front and rear bumpers, chrome exhaust tips and a heater. It was shipped to Los Angeles where SS Research & Development would handle its sale to famed racer John Razelle of Seattle. It was then raced successfully in the Pacific Northwest by Razelle who consistently demonstrated the strengths of the Cobra. Highlights of the car's period racing history include breaking the record at the Mount Douglas Hillclimb by over three seconds, and the feared pair of Razelle and the white Cobra becoming a staple of the Westwood Racing Circuit in British Columbia, after winning there by over twelve seconds in 1964. The pair would continue their campaign, which involved further wins over multiple seasons, in other SCCA circuit and Hillclimb events. Following its racing career, the car was purchased by W. E. Thomason in Missouri in 1982. CSX 2035 was then sold to Dale Bliss in Oklahoma in 1987. The car remained in the U.S. until 1988, when it was sold by Robs Lamplough and subsequently shipped to England. The car was registered in the UK from this point and went up for sale after being bought by Bill Harding of Hall & Hall in 2006. After passing through an owner who used the Cobra as a road vehicle on the Isle of Man, its next custodian elected to have a comprehensive, total and faithful restoration performed on the car by Pursuit Racing, which culminated in 2022, and brought the car back to its initial racing specification where it raced at the Silverstone Classic and the Goodwood Revival in that year. Just as how CSX 2035 was succesful in period, the car once again got to display its performance for its time, post restoration, when it achieved overall victory in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy at the 80th edition of the Goodwood Members' Meeting in early 2023 (for 2023 this race was moved to the Members' Meeting instead of the Revival and will in 2024 likely feature once again at the Revival). This highly eligible and rare period race car, which crucially is one of only a handful of the very early 260 variant, are the only Cobras allowed to race in pre-1963 events such as the Goodwood Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy. Due to the popularity of the Goodwood event it is almost critical that one must present a car not only in period specification, but also with period racing history in order that it may receive an entry. Owing to their light weight, and the large and powerful 4.2 litre Ford V-8 engine, 260 Cobras are distinctly the most performant cars in their class, and this proven example presents an unmatched opportunity to continue the story of an early Cobra’s racing history. 1962 Shelby Cobra 260 D.K.

The Escort RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special' and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their rally cars to ensure success in International Rallying. Because it was smaller, lighter, and more nimble than any of the Sierras, the combination of Cosworth power, four-wheel drive transmission, and an effective aerodynamic package made it a Rally Giant in all conditions. Success duly followed between 1993 and 1998 in the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers, but the road cars were very rare - with just 2,500 'homologation special' versions made, becoming known as 'big turbo cars', all capable of 150mph and easily identified by the aptly named 'Whale Tail' rear spoiler. From these 2,500 early examples, you could specify from the factory a 'Motorsport' version, being easily recognisable as they are only available in Diamond White, with no sunshine roof, wind-up windows, rear quarter panel windows that are fixed and did not open (unlike the Luxury Model), no A/C unit, Recaro cloth seats with the word 'Motorsport' embroidered in the seat cover. Many were not even fitted with a radio and just had blanking panels in front of the gear lever. The bodyshell had strengthened front and rear suspension mounts, which had white unpainted filler around the seams, plus floor grills for both the driver and navigator (to allow extra ventilation into the car). All 'Motorsport' cars were fitted with the YBT RS500 blue-top engine with a Garrett T35 or Hybrid T34 Turbocharger, the ECU was a P8 fitted with a Pectel PEC board and re-mapped to produce 300bhp; Ford Escort Cosworth ‘Motorsport’ cars also ran no front fog lights from the factory and were issued with genuine Sierra RS500 front grills instead to aid airflow. The car presented here was built on 19th August 1992 and is one (chassis number: WF0BXXGKABNE93383) of those early 2,500 cars delivered new in factory ‘Motorsport’ specification, so in Diamond White (73) paintwork, with the specification above, and like many others in this configuration, was destined to become a rally car. It was originally purchased through Brooklyn Ford of Redditch by Co-ordSport of Oldbury, the hugely well-respected and long-standing motorsport specialists, who have built and run rally cars with many major teams and sponsors, around the World and have won FIA events and Championships and the SCCA North American Rally Championship. The car was subsequently rally-prepared to 'Group N' + standards, utilising genuine Ford Motorsport 909 parts (its Motorsport bladder fuel tank was made by Premier Fuel Systems of Castle Donnington); Co-ordSport also upgraded the camshafts and other engine components, plus tuning which upped the power to well over the 300bhp - hence the ‘GRPN Plus’-spec name given by them. The car is equipped with all Ford Motorsport ‘909’ parts as per from the factory, including semi-straight cut gears / paddle clutch. After this preparation, in 1993, it was exported to Jakarta (photo attached of it waiting to leave in the Co-ordSport offices) for their customer, a Mr Maher Algadri, a businessman and son of Hamid Algadri, the prominent Indonesian political figure. The Escort was destined to have an extremely short career though, and after tackling the Indonesian forests in only a couple of events, where Maher was co-driven by Peter Collinson (the MD of Co-ordSport), it was parked up in late 1993, having covered only a few hundred miles. Maher’s new rally cars had started to arrive and were to take priority. The Escort was destined not to turn a wheel for a very long time, and although garaged, with the dust beginning to gather on its bodywork and the rally tyres starting to deflate, the car’s hibernation was well underway. Although very much hidden from public view, there was the odd, rare sighting and one occasion being when the engineers from Possum Bourne Motorsport came across it. Richard Rowlands, the former head mechanic for Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne, the late champion New Zealand rally driver, recalls a vivid memory seeing this Escort in Maher’s basement: 'In July of 1995, myself and one of the other boys from Possum Bourne Motorsport went to Indonesia to look after a 'Group A' Impreza that our customer Maher Algadri was running in a round of the Indonesian Rally Championship. Whilst there, we were staying at Maher’s residence in Jakarta, and I ventured down into his extensive underground car park and found a Group N Escort Cosworth sitting in the corner on semi flat tyres, covered in dust.' Although still a current model at the time, it was seemingly just forgotten about. As the legacy of the Escort Cosworth rally cars was beginning and they were making their attack on rally stages all over the world, quickly becoming a fan favourite, this car was properly disconnected from the action, distant and lost, but its day was still to come. Many years later, Richard Rowlands tried to track the car down but to no avail as it had already started the next chapter of its story over the ocean in Australia. In the 2000s, the Escort became the property of an enthusiast-owner in Australia however, sadly for the car, many more years lay ahead of being under a cover and tucked away in a garage and its new life in Australia was to be even less action-packed than in Indonesia. The hibernation continued. In 2021, the Escort was to get its first big break in almost 30-years, as it was ‘stumbled across’ by its next and more proactive owner, who instantly recognised its outstanding originality and appreciated its sought after status. As Ford’s RS Cosworth range had never been made available on the Australian market, this rally car had perhaps been overlooked for many years presumed to be a ‘foreign Ford’ with its wider appeal and reputation perhaps lost on those ‘not-in-the-know’ Down Under. Under new and dutiful ownership, the little RS received a well-deserved 30th birthday when it was meticulously checked-over, with all appropriate maintenance carried out, ensuring its originality was upheld whilst all serviceable components were replaced. Only after this most thorough and careful recommissioning process was it then ready to begin its new life. This astonishingly original and barely used Escort RS rally car has covered just 703 miles from new, with an integrity and condition wholly commensurate with such low-mileage. It remains a fully matching numbers, engine-and-Motorsport-tags-present car and all the Ford Motorsport 909 parts are still in place with even the numbers-matching factory glass remaining in-situ. In the car’s boot is yet another reminder as to just how unused it is, the original spare wheel and Michelin FB81 gravel tyre are still present and correct. The underside of the car is immaculate and would be a remarkable sight on a road car, let alone a rally car! The composite underbody protection has merely a few chips and light grazes, the only slight sign this car has seen any form of use. After recently travelling 30,000 miles by sea over eight weeks, but only 703 miles on land over 31 years, this unrepeatable Escort RS 'Cossie' Motorsport has finally now returned home. It has never been registered/owned in the UK (only ever showing on the internal Ford dealer data system) and consequently any buyer will be its first UK owner. Importantly, it is recorded as an Escort RS Cosworth for logbook/V5C purposes, not as an ‘Escort’ as many of the rally cars are. A hugely rare opportunity to a acquire a 'time-warp' car that could be used as a template for any restoration - it is that good! N.B. - this car was recently issued with a new MSA Passport following a scrutineer inspection (sealing the turbo with an anti-tamper wire and correct restrictor); the car could be easily road-registered and allocated an age-related number. When the car was bought it was stated that it was going to be exported so no tax was charged on the car’s purchase - there would have been absolutely no point in paying UK tax and registering it in here for it to be exported, and that’s exactly what happened. Advice/requirements from DVLA for registering: The car can be registered with a V55/5 form (import/used car) The car is eligible for 'age-related plate' Import document (transportation company have a copy) Vehicle identification (car is 'registered' on Ford Database as 'Escort Cosworth' - copy in history file) MOT certificate Drivers license, details and proof of identification, address, recent utility bill etc. Proof of insurance or cover note and £55 for V5 plus relevant road 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Motorsport Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 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 Escort RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special' and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their rally cars to ensure success in International Rallying. Because it was smaller, lighter, and more nimble than any of the Sierras, the combination of Cosworth power, four-wheel drive transmission, and an effective aerodynamic package made it a Rally Giant in all conditions. Success duly followed between 1993 and 1998 in the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers, but the road cars were very rare - with just 2,500 'homologation special' versions made, becoming known as 'big turbo cars', all capable of 150mph and easily identified by the aptly named 'Whale Tail' rear spoiler. From these 2,500 early examples, you could specify from the factory a 'Motorsport' version, being easily recognisable as they are only available in Diamond White, with no sunshine roof, wind-up windows, rear quarter panel windows that are fixed and did not open (unlike the Luxury Model), no A/C unit, Recaro cloth seats with the word 'Motorsport' embroidered in the seat cover. Many were not even fitted with a radio and just had blanking panels in front of the gear lever. The bodyshell had strengthened front and rear suspension mounts, which had white unpainted filler around the seams, plus floor grills for both the driver and navigator (to allow extra ventilation into the car). All 'Motorsport' cars were fitted with the YBT RS500 blue-top engine with a Garrett T35 or Hybrid T34 Turbocharger, the ECU was a P8 fitted with a Pectel PEC board and re-mapped to produce 300bhp; Ford Escort Cosworth ‘Motorsport’ cars also ran no front fog lights from the factory and were issued with genuine Sierra RS500 front grills instead to aid airflow. The car presented here was built on 19th August 1992 and is one (chassis number: WF0BXXGKABNE93383) of those early 2,500 cars delivered new in factory ‘Motorsport’ specification, so in Diamond White (73) paintwork, with the specification above, and like many others in this configuration, was destined to become a rally car. It was originally purchased through Brooklyn Ford of Redditch by Co-ordSport of Oldbury, the hugely well-respected and long-standing motorsport specialists, who have built and run rally cars with many major teams and sponsors, around the World and have won FIA events and Championships and the SCCA North American Rally Championship. The car was subsequently rally-prepared to 'Group N' + standards, utilising genuine Ford Motorsport 909 parts (its Motorsport bladder fuel tank was made by Premier Fuel Systems of Castle Donnington); Co-ordSport also upgraded the camshafts and other engine components, plus tuning which upped the power to well over the 300bhp - hence the ‘GRPN Plus’-spec name given by them. The car is equipped with all Ford Motorsport ‘909’ parts as per from the factory, including semi-straight cut gears / paddle clutch. After this preparation, in 1993, it was exported to Jakarta (photo attached of it waiting to leave in the Co-ordSport offices) for their customer, a Mr Maher Algadri, a businessman and son of Hamid Algadri, the prominent Indonesian political figure. The Escort was destined to have an extremely short career though, and after tackling the Indonesian forests in only a couple of events, where Maher was co-driven by Peter Collinson (the MD of Co-ordSport), it was parked up in late 1993, having covered only a few hundred miles. Maher’s new rally cars had started to arrive and were to take priority. The Escort was destined not to turn a wheel for a very long time, and although garaged, with the dust beginning to gather on its bodywork and the rally tyres starting to deflate, the car’s hibernation was well underway. Although very much hidden from public view, there was the odd, rare sighting and one occasion being when the engineers from Possum Bourne Motorsport came across it. Richard Rowlands, the former head mechanic for Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne, the late champion New Zealand rally driver, recalls a vivid memory seeing this Escort in Maher’s basement: 'In July of 1995, myself and one of the other boys from Possum Bourne Motorsport went to Indonesia to look after a 'Group A' Impreza that our customer Maher Algadri was running in a round of the Indonesian Rally Championship. Whilst there, we were staying at Maher’s residence in Jakarta, and I ventured down into his extensive underground car park and found a Group N Escort Cosworth sitting in the corner on semi flat tyres, covered in dust.' Although still a current model at the time, it was seemingly just forgotten about. As the legacy of the Escort Cosworth rally cars was beginning and they were making their attack on rally stages all over the world, quickly becoming a fan favourite, this car was properly disconnected from the action, distant and lost, but its day was still to come. Many years later, Richard Rowlands tried to track the car down but to no avail as it had already started the next chapter of its story over the ocean in Australia. In the 2000s, the Escort became the property of an enthusiast-owner in Australia however, sadly for the car, many more years lay ahead of being under a cover and tucked away in a garage and its new life in Australia was to be even less action-packed than in Indonesia. The hibernation continued. In 2021, the Escort was to get its first big break in almost 30-years, as it was ‘stumbled across’ by its next and more proactive owner, who instantly recognised its outstanding originality and appreciated its sought after status. As Ford’s RS Cosworth range had never been made available on the Australian market, this rally car had perhaps been overlooked for many years presumed to be a ‘foreign Ford’ with its wider appeal and reputation perhaps lost on those ‘not-in-the-know’ Down Under. Under new and dutiful ownership, the little RS received a well-deserved 30th birthday when it was meticulously checked-over, with all appropriate maintenance carried out, ensuring its originality was upheld whilst all serviceable components were replaced. Only after this most thorough and careful recommissioning process was it then ready to begin its new life. This astonishingly original and barely used Escort RS rally car has covered just 703 miles from new, with an integrity and condition wholly commensurate with such low-mileage. It remains a fully matching numbers, engine-and-Motorsport-tags-present car and all the Ford Motorsport 909 parts are still in place with even the numbers-matching factory glass remaining in-situ. In the car’s boot is yet another reminder as to just how unused it is, the original spare wheel and Michelin FB81 gravel tyre are still present and correct. The underside of the car is immaculate and would be a remarkable sight on a road car, let alone a rally car! The composite underbody protection has merely a few chips and light grazes, the only slight sign this car has seen any form of use. After recently travelling 30,000 miles by sea over eight weeks, but only 703 miles on land over 31 years, this unrepeatable Escort RS 'Cossie' Motorsport has finally now returned home. It has never been registered/owned in the UK (only ever showing on the internal Ford dealer data system) and consequently any buyer will be its first UK owner. Importantly, it is recorded as an Escort RS Cosworth for logbook/V5C purposes, not as an ‘Escort’ as many of the rally cars are. A hugely rare opportunity to a acquire a 'time-warp' car that could be used as a template for any restoration - it is that good! N.B. - this car was recently issued with a new MSA Passport following a scrutineer inspection (sealing the turbo with an anti-tamper wire and correct restrictor); the car could be easily road-registered and allocated an age-related number. When the car was bought it was stated that it was going to be exported so no tax was charged on the car’s purchase - there would have been absolutely no point in paying UK tax and registering it in here for it to be exported, and that’s exactly what happened. Advice/requirements from DVLA for registering: The car can be registered with a V55/5 form (import/used car) The car is eligible for 'age-related plate' Import document (transportation company have a copy) Vehicle identification (car is 'registered' on Ford Database as 'Escort Cosworth' - copy in history file) MOT certificate Drivers license, details and proof of identification, address, recent utility bill etc. Proof of insurance or cover note and £55 for V5 plus relevant road Other Cars from Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-01.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-02.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-15.webp 1965-Jaguar-E-Type-4.2-01.webp 1/15 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-01.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-02.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-09.webp 1975-De-Tomaso-Pantera-GTS-01.webp 1/8 1975 De Tomaso Pantera GTS Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-01.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-02.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-15.webp 1976-Lamborghini-Espada-Series-III-01.webp 1/15 1976 Lamborghini Espada Series III Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom Last Featured Cars 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-02.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-10.webp 1992-Subaru-SVX-01.webp 1/10 1992 Subaru SVX DLS Automobile Germany 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-02.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-15.webp 1990-Porsche-911-964-Carrera-RS-IROC-Evocation-01.webp 1/15 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS IROC Evocation Classic Connection United Kingdom 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-02.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-20.jpg 1964-Alfa-Rome-TZ-01.jpg 1/20 1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH Switzerland

The two-door Alfa Romeo Giulia GT coupé, widely known to the public as the Alfa Bertone, complemented the four-door Alfa Romeo Giulia saloon from 1963 to 1975. The GT, with its distinctive body designed by Bertone, was available over the years with engines ranging from 1.3 to 2.0 liters. To differentiate between the models, Alfa Romeo used additional designations such as Sprint, Junior, Veloce and GTV seemingly at random. The body of the Giulia GT was created in Bertone's Turin studio under the direction of its head of design, Giorgetto Giugiaro. A special design feature of the early GT models is the horizontal gap between the front apron and the bonnet, which looks like an edge. In view of this, the GTs of the early years are also called ‘edge bonnet’. The 1750 GT Veloce, introduced in 1968, was the first GT to feature a redesigned front end without the edge; at the same time, the indicators were moved from the wing edges to the front of the car under the radiator grille. With the exception of the GTA, all other GT models also received the smooth front end until 1972. The edge bonnet GT with 1.3-litre engine offered here was first registered in Italy on 19 February 1970. The history of this attractive coupé is unknown. Several years ago, the GT 1300 Junior was presumably restored and finally taken over by the consignor in 2018 and imported to Switzerland in 2019. Since then, it has spent most of its time in the consignor's museum and has rarely been driven. The Alfa is currently in very good condition, with a sound body, beautiful paintwork and an almost immaculate light beige faux leather interior. The last veteran was completed in March 2024. 1970 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Mercedes 500SL R107 is a legendary car that has left its mark on the history of luxury motoring. Produced from 1980 to 1989, this elegant convertible not only embodied style and sophistication, but also set new standards in performance and technical innovation. The Mercedes-Benz R107 series made its debut in 1971 with the 350SL model. This series was designed to succeed the much-loved W113 series, commonly known as the 'Pagoda', which had set high standards for luxury sports cars. The 500SL, introduced in 1980, quickly became the flagship model in the range. It represented the pinnacle of the R107 series with its 5.0-litre V8 engine, combining power and refinement. The 500SL was developed at a time when Mercedes-Benz was striving to establish its reputation for safety and reliability, in addition to the brand's luxury credentials. It incorporated many of the technological innovations that were at the forefront of the automotive industry at the time. These innovations were often the result of decades of research and development, with a particular focus on continuously improving safety, comfort and performance. The Mercedes 500SL R107 boasts an impressive technical specification: Engine: 5.0-litre V8 with Bosch K-Jetronic electronic fuel injection Power: Approximately 240 hp at 4,750 rpm Torque: 402 Nm at 3200 rpm Transmission: 4-speed automatic. Top speed: Approximately 225 km/h- Acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h in around 7.5 seconds In terms of safety, the 500SL was equipped with advanced systems for its time, such as ABS (anti-lock braking system), a revolutionary feature. The chassis was also designed to offer maximum rigidity and safety in the event of an accident, with deformation zones programmed to absorb impact energy. The design of the 500SL R107 is timeless. The exterior features elegant, classic lines, a long bonnet that houses the powerful V8 engine, and an iconic grille with the Mercedes star standing proudly in the centre. Square headlights and chrome bumpers add to the car's sophisticated look. The interior of the 500SL was equally impressive, showcasing high quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. The leather seats offered exceptional comfort, especially with the RECARO option, while the ergonomic dashboard allowed the driver to easily control all aspects of the vehicle. The easy-to-operate fabric soft top provided an unrivalled open-top driving experience, and Mercedes also offered a removable hardtop as an option, transforming the 500SL into a stylish coupé for the winter months. Mercedes-Benz engineers also ensured that the 500SL offered exceptional driving comfort. The independent suspension and adjustable dampers contributed to precise handling and a comfortable ride, whether on motorways or winding roads. The air conditioning and heating systems were designed to maintain optimum comfort in all weather conditions. The Mercedes 500SL R107 was not only a symbol of luxury and performance, it was also a pioneering vehicle in terms of automotive technology. In addition to ABS, the 500SL introduced a number of other technical innovations that influenced the automotive industry. Airbags: The 500SL was among the first models to offer airbags, a significant addition to occupant safety. Front airbags were available for the driver and front passenger, representing a major advance in crash protection. Traction Control: Another notable addition was the Traction Control system, designed to improve the vehicle's stability on slippery surfaces. This system reduced wheel spin by automatically adjusting engine power and applying the brakes if necessary. Chassis and Suspension: The 500SL's chassis was a true engineering feat, designed to offer maximum rigidity while maintaining a relatively low weight. The four-wheel independent suspension provided exceptional handling and superior ride comfort. The success of the Mercedes 500SL R107 was immediate, and its aura inspired the greatest from Hollywood to the British crown. The 500SL, often favored by Hollywood stars, appeared regularly in numerous films and television series, becoming a veritable icon of glamour and luxury on the screen. Films such as "American Gigolo" and TV series such as "Dallas" helped to reinforce its image as a dream car. The 500SL was also appreciated by royalty. Princess Diana, for example, owned an R107, adding to the aura of prestige surrounding the car. Her choice of the 500SL was widely publicised in the media, further raising the profile and desire for the car among the general public. As a result, the R107 is one of Mercedes-Benz's longest-running production series, running for 18 years from 1971 to 1989. This is testament to its popularity and pioneering design, which kept it competitive and desirable for almost two decades. During this period, over 237,000 units of the R107 were produced, making it one of the best-selling series in Mercedes-Benz history. 500SL racing: although primarily designed as a luxury car, the 500SL also took on the rigours of racing. As well as appearances on the racetrack, a project for a 500SL Rally was born from the dynamic mind of Max Waxenberger. He had the car fitted with an aluminium roll bar and replaced some of the metal chassis panels with thinner ones. The roof was not welded but fixed with seven screws. Much of the interior has also been modified, with the Recaro plastic driver's seat weighing just 4kg. In the end, the new Mercedes R107 rally car weighed in at 1,350kg. That's around 236kg less than the 500SLC. Following a last-minute disagreement between Waxenberger and the factory, the project was abandoned, although 4 cars were produced to be entrusted to the expert hands of Röhrl and Vatanen... In conclusion: the Mercedes 500SL R107 remains an iconic car in automotive history. With its timeless design, impressive performance and association with glamour and luxury, it continues to be appreciated by collectors and car enthusiasts around the world. Its heritage endures, making it not only a treasured collector's item, but also an icon of automotive engineering and design. As a symbol of a bygone era when precision engineering and refined design went hand in hand, the Mercedes 500SL R107 remains a living automotive legend.

Square headlights and chrome bumpers add to the car's sophisticated look. The interior of the 500SL was equally impressive, showcasing high quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. The leather seats offered exceptional comfort, especially with the RECARO option, while the ergonomic dashboard allowed the driver to easily control all aspects of the vehicle. The easy-to-operate fabric soft top provided an unrivalled open-top driving experience, and Mercedes also offered a removable hardtop as an option, transforming the 500SL into a stylish coupé for the winter months. Mercedes-Benz engineers also ensured that the 500SL offered exceptional driving comfort. The independent suspension and adjustable dampers contributed to precise handling and a comfortable ride, whether on motorways or winding roads. The air conditioning and heating systems were designed to maintain optimum comfort in all weather conditions. The Mercedes 500SL R107 was not only a symbol of luxury and performance, it was also a pioneering vehicle in terms of automotive technology. In addition to ABS, the 500SL introduced a number of other technical innovations that influenced the automotive industry. Airbags: The 500SL was among the first models to offer airbags, a significant addition to occupant safety. Front airbags were available for the driver and front passenger, representing a major advance in crash protection. Traction Control: Another notable addition was the Traction Control system, designed to improve the vehicle's stability on slippery surfaces. This system reduced wheel spin by automatically adjusting engine power and applying the brakes if necessary. Chassis and Suspension: The 500SL's chassis was a true engineering feat, designed to offer maximum rigidity while maintaining a relatively low weight. The four-wheel independent suspension provided exceptional handling and superior ride comfort. The success of the Mercedes 500SL R107 was immediate, and its aura inspired the greatest from Hollywood to the British crown. The 500SL, often favored by Hollywood stars, appeared regularly in numerous films and television series, becoming a veritable icon of glamour and luxury on the screen. Films such as "American Gigolo" and TV series such as "Dallas" helped to reinforce its image as a dream car. The 500SL was also appreciated by royalty. Princess Diana, for example, owned an R107, adding to the aura of prestige surrounding the car. Her choice of the 500SL was widely publicised in the media, further raising the profile and desire for the car among the general public. As a result, the R107 is one of Mercedes-Benz's longest-running production series, running for 18 years from 1971 to 1989. This is testament to its popularity and pioneering design, which kept it competitive and desirable for almost two decades. During this period, over 237,000 units of the R107 were produced, making it one of the best-selling series in Mercedes-Benz history. 500SL racing: although primarily designed as a luxury car, the 500SL also took on the rigours of racing. As well as appearances on the racetrack, a project for a 500SL Rally was born from the dynamic mind of Max Waxenberger. He had the car fitted with an aluminium roll bar and replaced some of the metal chassis panels with thinner ones. The roof was not welded but fixed with seven screws. Much of the interior has also been modified, with the Recaro plastic driver's seat weighing just 4kg. In the end, the new Mercedes R107 rally car weighed in at 1,350kg. That's around 236kg less than the 500SLC. Following a last-minute disagreement between Waxenberger and the factory, the project was abandoned, although 4 cars were produced to be entrusted to the expert hands of Röhrl and Vatanen... In conclusion: the Mercedes 500SL R107 remains an iconic car in automotive history. With its timeless design, impressive performance and association with glamour and luxury, it continues to be appreciated by collectors and car enthusiasts around the world. Its heritage endures, making it not only a treasured collector's item, but also an icon of automotive engineering and design. As a symbol of a bygone era when precision engineering and refined design went hand in hand, the Mercedes 500SL R107 remains a living automotive legend.

This example was purchased from the previous owner in 1983 by the current long-term owner and career engineer, entrepreneur, and inventor of laser optical systems and processes which have transformed modern laser technology. His passion for engineering and early successes in startup technology allowed him to purchase and own this M1 for a remarkable 41-years. Compelled by the engineering excellence in the innovative M1, the owner enjoyed driving and showing the car for several years before placing it in dry-climate storage. In December 2023, the owner arranged for the car to be carefully transported to marque experts at Phaedrus BMW, San Francisco, CA where it was thoughtfully recommissioned including a new battery, fresh fluids, all new fuses, new fuel hoses, two new fuel bellows, (fillers to tank), new gas pump relay, a new BMW M1 fuel pump and relay, new filters, spark plugs, and various coolant hoses. After testing the operational features, services continued as necessary rare parts were procured including installing a new water pump, new thermostat, new gaskets, a new oil switch, a new accessory belt, and a brake fluid flush. A set of Continental Extreme Sport 205/55 16 front and 225/50 16 rear tires were installed, all four wheels balanced, and four-wheel alignment performed. Upon completion, the engine compression was tested warm returning the following numbers: 130/130/130/130/130/125. Current Condition Today this M1 presents in excellent condition representative of long-term ownership preservation and recent professional refurbishment by BMW specialists. The distinctive M1 factory orange paint retains smooth gloss with only minor evidence of use when viewing closely as seen on the front fascia. The correct factory front bumper and grill opening are in excellent condition including the pop-up headlight doors, marker lights, and distinctive BMW kidney grill openings. The left rear quarter panel has a keyed anti-theft device likely installed under prior ownership. The original brand-etched side glass, windshield, lighting, emblems, lenses, are all in excellent condition. The uniquely ventilated M1 wheels wear their original finish recently fitted with a new set of Continental Extreme Sport tires. Other exceptional features include satin black rear hatch side vents, rear window louvers, and satin black rocker panels, some of which display oxidation as might be expected from original finishes. Every aspect of the car reflects the exceptional care and preservation afforded by the long-term owner over the past 41 years. The interior is in excellent condition, surprisingly so as all features appear original throughout the car. The black leather seats, dashboard, factory grey carpets, and various trim show only very minor evidence of age, all of which should be considered typical of modest use as seen in preservation-based vehicles. The door panels and center console also retain excellent finishes. To BMW enthusiasts of this ear, much of the interior will appear comfortably familiar including the gear shift, door handles, and instrument layout. The interior delivers a high-quality feel and simple practicality that defined sports car design prior to digital technology. These tactile and engaging features are all the more enjoyable given how well this example has been preserved. The trunk carpet is in excellent condition including the spare tire and spare tire cover, and the rear engine lid struts hold position when the lid is opened to view the impressive M-series engine. The engine compartment is remarkably nice. The carefully preserved mechanical details reveal further support of continued long-term preservation and sensitive refurbishment this car has enjoyed under original and current ownership. The factory original engine is clean, with correctly finished factory components, correct black paint on the valve cover, correct airbox, and BMW supplied replacement parts for recently replaced coolant hoses, fuel hoses, new water pump, fuel pump, and other features to support smooth engine operation. The impressive equal length headers lightly hued from use, indicative of the engine’s legendary competition heritage. The front storage compartment further supports the exceptional care and preservation, with excellent mechanical components, factory finishes, and preserved original features. The underside of the car exhibits further evidence supporting the mileage and indoor storage including correct alloy suspension components, correct engine features, and a factory correct exhaust. There is no visual evidence of structural compromise to the floor pan or suspension mounting points. The M1, while beautiful and well regarded by enthusiasts, is even more of a pleasure to drive. The impressive power is very manageable even under general use. Considering the M1 was built at a time when supercars were forgiven their often-unpredictable needs in exchange for their powerful presence, the balance achieved in the M1 allows enthusiasts the pleasure of driving their cars. This M1 starts easily, idles smoothly, and pulls cleanly through the rev range. Power builds in a linear fashion as the in-line six encourages drivers to explore the power band. The gearbox is excellent, with well-defined shift gates, great actuation, and very good synchromesh. The dogleg shift pattern allows for second gear downshifts and easy upshifts to freeway speeds. The steering is precise and manageable, the chassis is composed and long-range driving proves to be comfortable even for taller drivers. Please note that the odometer is currently not functional when the car is driven. It is not known when the odometer stopped working but the owner suggests that only minimal additional miles may have accumulated since the tumblers stopped rotating. This is a rare opportunity for a sports car enthusiast to acquire a beautifully preserved example of one of the finest performance cars of the 1980s. Offering technical sophistication, rarity, and uniquely inspired Italian design, every legendary BMW Motorsport offering owes their history to this seminal M-series supercar. With documented history, originality, and one of just 399 built for road use, this preservation grade M1 will continue to serve as an iconic reminder of the visceral analog driving experience perfectly captured by BMW. Included with this M1 This M1 is accompanied by a set of floor mats. Factory first aid kit, BMW safety triangle in factory case, a spare 18” wiper blade, copies of various period articles collected by the current long-term owner, and various small misc. parts. 1981 BMW M1 Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

One of Alfa Romeo’s most celebrated competition models without question, the exquisite T33 succeeded the TZ as Milan’s factory-program sports-racing competition car. Largely developed by ex-Ferrari engineer Carlo Chiti’s Autodelta, which served as Alfa Romeo’s de facto racing arm, the T33 featured an advanced chassis driven by a powerful 2-liter V-8 engine, all wrapped in slippery closed coachwork in the vein of concurrent prototypes like the Ferrari P4 and Porsche 908. T33 evolutions contributed to two Manufacturer’s Championships and two 2nd-place finishes for Alfa Romeo over the following 11 years, and it remains one of the most widely admired prototype racing cars of any era. This remarkable Alfa Romeo is known to be the first of just a handful of T33/2 examples that were at some point equipped with a 2.5-liter engine. Even during the T33’s first racing season, Autodelta was already considering increasing displacement to three liters, and to this end a 2.5-liter unit was tested in Alec Mildren’s Brabham in the Tasman Series in Australia during the winter of 1967–1968. This engine specification was soon utilized in isolated instances during the 1968 season. While there is some degree of uncertainty regarding which exact chassis were equipped with a 2.5-liter motor during individual 1968 events, Peter Collins’ and Ed McDonough’s excellent book on the model clarifies that chassis 015 ran at least four races that year, two of which featured the larger engine. CHASSIS NUMBER 015 IN COMPETITION Chassis number 015 made its debut at the 1968 season opener, the 24 Hours of Daytona, as one of a trio of T33/2 examples entered by Autodelta and equipped with two-liter engines. Piloted by Lucien Bianchi and the legendary Mario Andretti, the Alfa Romeo roared to a 5th-in-class finish (6th overall), taking the middle position of a 5-6-7 consecutive finish by the three cars. While there was no separate class for under-2-liter prototypes, this dominant performance was impressive enough to earn the model the nickname “Daytona,” which was particularly appropriate considering that Autodelta had spent countless hours optimizing the T33/2 specifically for the Daytona circuit. Entered as race #220 at the Targa Florio in May, chassis 015 became the first T33/2 to appear with the 2.5-liter engine. Local Sicilian hero Nino Vaccarella leapt out to hold 2nd place for two laps before relinquishing driving duties to Udo Schutz, who proceeded to spin the car into a wall (and out of the race) after encountering a patch of loose gravel. At the Nürburgring 1000 KM two weeks later, Schutz and Lucien Bianchi achieved a level of redemption for the 2.5-liter car with a 4th-in-class finish (7th overall). In late August at the Austrian Grand Prix, the T33/2 was entered by the Belgian Count Rudi van der Straten, a descendent of the founders of Stella Artois beer, and the principal of the eponymous VDS racing team. This preferred Alfa Romeo client would soon play a much greater role in the car’s history, and VDS drivers Teddy Pilette and Gustave Gosselin finished 3rd in class (4th overall). For the 1969 season the Alfa Romeo passed to VDS, and under van der Straten’s leadership the car ran at least two events, and probably several more. Highlights included a 5th-in-class finish (8th overall) at the Monza 1000 KM in late April while driven by Pilette and Rob Slotemaker, and 5th in class (6th overall) at the Spa 1000 KM in May, again driven by Pilette and Slotemaker. AN ALFA ROMEO IN ANGOLA The following year, VDS sold chassis number 015 to a Portuguese driver named Antonio Peixinho, and he shipped the car to Angola, the African nation and onetime Portuguese colony that was a hotbed of racing before revolution swept the country during the 1970s. During the 1970 and 1971 seasons Peixinho racked up at least five victories at circuits like Malange and the Nova Lisboa 6 Hours. Driver Santos Peras then began racing the T33/2 in 1972, and he captured a victory at the Circuito de Carmona in July 1974. At some point the Alfa Romeo passed to Antonio De Santos, a Portuguese national who stored the car among a group of other period racing gems, including a Ford GT40 and a Chevron B19. With the increasing violence posed by Angola’s war for independence, De Santos returned to his native Portugal, and the racecars were left to languish while becoming something of a local legend. In the mid-1980s a Frenchman named Jean Chambault, a racing enthusiast who happened to be conducting business in Angola, heard about the dormant cars, and upon confirming the rumor he immediately contacted De Santos in Lisbon to arrange a purchase. Strangely enough, the final price included a VCR and a 2-liter Ford Cortina engine. But that was just the beginning of the negotiations, for Chambault struggled to persuade the Angolan government to release the T33/2 until finally an arrangement was made to airlift the car out in a Hercules transport plane. Mr. Chambault soon offered the Alfa Romeo for sale, and in 1994 the car passed into a short chain of Italian-based ownership, during which time it was restored by ex-Autodelta mechanic Marcello Gambi. The next caretakers acquired the T33/2 in 2000, and after further freshening the car participated in the 2000 and 2004 Le Mans Classic. Remarkably, this potent racing machine was registered for road use in Germany at this time, as indicated by German Fahrzeugbrief paperwork on file! In 2006 the Alfa Romeo was acquired by David Jacobs, a former skiing champion and skiwear entrepreneur based in Boulder, Colorado, and he conducted further restorative measures before embarking on a vintage racing campaign that included runs at the 2008 and 2010 Le Mans Classic, and the 2009 Monterey Historics. Sold to the consignor in early 2012, the Alfa Romeo was further dialed in for racing use, with no expense spared. Notably, as documented by 2013 invoices on file, over $50,000 was invested in just the engine rebuild, conducted by specialists S. Jennings Racing (then located in Tooele, Utah). It was then enjoyed at competition locales including Watkins Glen, Silverstone, Nürburgring, Zandvoort, Spa, and the 2017 Monterey Historics. Following this on-track duty, the V-8 was subsequently returned to S. Jennings Racing for inspection and assessment. Given the number of hours the high-performance engine had accrued, another full rebuild was undertaken, with 2018 invoices in excess of $65,000 detailing the work performed on the engine and ancillaries. Still fitted with the rare 2.5-liter engine, chassis number 015 is one of approximately 23 T33/2 chassis numbers allocated, of which just 10 examples are known to survive today. It should be noted that the car features a modified driver-side door for improved ease of entry, and it is accompanied by its original rear clamshell bodywork. Also accompanying the car is a substantial collection of spare parts (an inventory is on file for review). Finished in the proper #220 race livery as seen at the 1968 Targa Florio, where the 2.5-liter engine made its debut, this jaw-dropping T33/2 promises countless thrills, be it from a mere glance at the sensuous coachwork to an exhilarating round of high-performance hot laps. Perfectly suited for the prototype racing aficionado or Alfa Romeo competition car collector, this heart-stopping Daytona would make a crowning addition to any sporting collection. 1968 Alfa Romeo T33/2 'Daytona' 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 One of Alfa Romeo’s most celebrated competition models without question, the exquisite T33 succeeded the TZ as Milan’s factory-program sports-racing competition car. Largely developed by ex-Ferrari engineer Carlo Chiti’s Autodelta, which served as Alfa Romeo’s de facto racing arm, the T33 featured an advanced chassis driven by a powerful 2-liter V-8 engine, all wrapped in slippery closed coachwork in the vein of concurrent prototypes like the Ferrari P4 and Porsche 908. T33 evolutions contributed to two Manufacturer’s Championships and two 2nd-place finishes for Alfa Romeo over the following 11 years, and it remains one of the most widely admired prototype racing cars of any era. This remarkable Alfa Romeo is known to be the first of just a handful of T33/2 examples that were at some point equipped with a 2.5-liter engine. Even during the T33’s first racing season, Autodelta was already considering increasing displacement to three liters, and to this end a 2.5-liter unit was tested in Alec Mildren’s Brabham in the Tasman Series in Australia during the winter of 1967–1968. This engine specification was soon utilized in isolated instances during the 1968 season. While there is some degree of uncertainty regarding which exact chassis were equipped with a 2.5-liter motor during individual 1968 events, Peter Collins’ and Ed McDonough’s excellent book on the model clarifies that chassis 015 ran at least four races that year, two of which featured the larger engine. CHASSIS NUMBER 015 IN COMPETITION Chassis number 015 made its debut at the 1968 season opener, the 24 Hours of Daytona, as one of a trio of T33/2 examples entered by Autodelta and equipped with two-liter engines. Piloted by Lucien Bianchi and the legendary Mario Andretti, the Alfa Romeo roared to a 5th-in-class finish (6th overall), taking the middle position of a 5-6-7 consecutive finish by the three cars. While there was no separate class for under-2-liter prototypes, this dominant performance was impressive enough to earn the model the nickname “Daytona,” which was particularly appropriate considering that Autodelta had spent countless hours optimizing the T33/2 specifically for the Daytona circuit. Entered as race #220 at the Targa Florio in May, chassis 015 became the first T33/2 to appear with the 2.5-liter engine.

Zagato will always be regarded as one of the great coachbuilders and arguably the strongest partnership throughout its history has been with Alfa Romeo. From building bodies on all-conquering 8Cs to producing radical designs such as the RZ and SZ, the two companies have garnered a loyal following amongst true car enthusiasts. One of the partnership’s most successful models was the Tubolare Zagato, otherwise known as the TZ. The TZ project was born out of the introduction of the 105-series 1,570 cc Giulia. Following on from the marque’s success with the Giulietta SZ, the TZ used an entirely different chassis design in the form of a lightweight spaceframe. The alloy body was a development of the ideas behind the SZ Coda Tronca, utilising a low-drag nose, small frontal area, and a Kamm tail. The running gear was equally advanced, with independent suspension and disc brakes at all corners, a five-speed gearbox, and a limited-slip differential. The design was a success; during 1964 and 1965, the TZ achieved World Sportscar Championship class victories in all corners of the continent, scoring high profile wins on the Tour de France and Targa Florio, and dominating the field at Le Mans, Sebring, Montlhéry, the Nürburgring, Spa, Mugello, Enna, and Bridgehampton. First mention of this TZ, chassis “750087”, is in an Autodelta invoice to Alfa Romeo on 2 April 1965. The car left the Alfa Romeo production line on 21 July 1965 before being delivered on 8 September 1965 to Alfa Romeo Lugano. According to the Alfa Romeo Zagato Register, it was traded through well-known Alfa racer Karl Foitek to Peter Schetty, another racer who kept it until late 1966. Its next owner was Uli Maurer, who in turn sold this TZ to James Bernard Fortmann on 26 April 1968. Fortmann campaigned the car with Squadra Piloti Bardahl, giving chassis “750087” its competition debut at the 1968 Nürburgring 1000 kms. Sharing with Urs-Peter Dietrich, they finished 36th overall and 5th in the prototype 1.6L class. This TZ was then entered for the Montseny Hillclimb on 2 June 1968 before appearing six days later, this time in the hands of Jean-Claude Ehinger, for the Hockenheim round of the ACS Swiss Championship. Its final race was the Gran Pemio de Mugello, a 66.8-kilometre circuit made up of public roads around Tuscany. Fortmann lent the car to Urs-Peter Dietrich and Eric Chapuis, but damage to the right rear in practice forced its retirement. In October 1968, Fortmann sold this TZ to Ehinger, who kept it for a year before a fire under the bonnet put the car out of action. The TZ was sold to Garage Spycher of Agno, which replaced the engine and kept the car until 1983, when it passed to Ernst Hugentobler. Hugentobler would enjoy this TZ for 17 years before it returned to the previous Dutch owner. During this second, 16-year stint of ownership, the incorrect-type engine was changed for an original TZ engine, Tipo 511, numbered “00034”, from chassis “750066”. It features a tag stating it was tuned by Facetti, and boasts a desirable twin-plug cylinder head. This TZ passed into the current ownership in 2016, and since then has been certified by the respected Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo; its report noted: “the car had never undergone a radical restoration and presents a high degree of conservation and authenticity. The vehicle is compliant with the original configuration, with documented historical continuity.” Wonderful details such as the stop pads on the corners of the bonnet, a leatherette cover on the rear-top shock absorber, and Alfa Romeo rubber straps in the rear of the cabin are signs of real care that this example has benefitted from. Today, this TZ presents as a wonderfully genuine example of one of Alfa Romeo’s most successful racing cars. Despite its unrestored cosmetic appearance, it has been mechanically maintained in the current ownership and enjoyed as a delightful road car. Nevertheless, this TZ is eligible for some of the best historic racing events including the Le Mans Classic, Velocity International, Tour Auto, Modena Cento Ore, and various pre-1966 GT race series. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very genuine and charming Tubolare Zagato. 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The car left the Alfa Romeo production line on 21 July 1965 before being delivered on 8 September 1965 to Alfa Romeo Lugano. According to the Alfa Romeo Zagato Register, it was traded through well-known Alfa racer Karl Foitek to Peter Schetty, another racer who kept it until late 1966. Its next owner was Uli Maurer, who in turn sold this TZ to James Bernard Fortmann on 26 April 1968. Fortmann campaigned the car with Squadra Piloti Bardahl, giving chassis “750087” its competition debut at the 1968 Nürburgring 1000 kms. Sharing with Urs-Peter Dietrich, they finished 36th overall and 5th in the prototype 1.6L class. This TZ was then entered for the Montseny Hillclimb on 2 June 1968 before appearing six days later, this time in the hands of Jean-Claude Ehinger, for the Hockenheim round of the ACS Swiss Championship. Its final race was the Gran Pemio de Mugello, a 66.8-kilometre circuit made up of public roads around Tuscany. Fortmann lent the car to Urs-Peter Dietrich and Eric Chapuis, but damage to the right rear in practice forced its retirement. In October 1968, Fortmann sold this TZ to Ehinger, who kept it for a year before a fire under the bonnet put the car out of action. The TZ was sold to Garage Spycher of Agno, which replaced the engine and kept the car until 1983, when it passed to Ernst Hugentobler. Hugentobler would enjoy this TZ for 17 years before it returned to the previous Dutch owner. During this second, 16-year stint of ownership, the incorrect-type engine was changed for an original TZ engine, Tipo 511, numbered “00034”, from chassis “750066”. It features a tag stating it was tuned by Facetti, and boasts a desirable twin-plug cylinder head. This TZ passed into the current ownership in 2016, and since then has been certified by the respected Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo; its report noted: “the car had never undergone a radical restoration and presents a high degree of conservation and authenticity. The vehicle is compliant with the original configuration, with documented historical continuity.” Wonderful details such as the stop pads on the corners of the bonnet, a leatherette cover on the rear-top shock absorber, and Alfa Romeo rubber straps in the rear of the cabin are signs of real care that this example has benefitted from. Today, this TZ presents as a wonderfully genuine example of one of Alfa Romeo’s most successful racing cars. Despite its unrestored cosmetic appearance, it has been mechanically maintained in the current ownership and enjoyed as a delightful road car. Nevertheless, this TZ is eligible for some of the best historic racing events including the Le Mans Classic, Velocity International, Tour Auto, Modena Cento Ore, and various pre-1966 GT race series. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very genuine and charming Tubolare Zagato.

In 1991, Lancia launched the Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione as a homologation special to meet Group A regulations, widening the track and flaring the wheel arches. They also added bonnet vents, a larger grille, and a tailgate spoiler to improve cooling and airflow. Underneath, they upgraded the brakes with twin-piston calipers, strengthened the suspension, and added a front strut brace and a larger steering box. The Evoluzione’s remapped 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four delivered 210 horsepower, breaking the 100-horsepower-per-liter mark for the first time in Delta's production history. Delivered new in December 1991 to Lancia dealer Auto 2000 in Terni, this Italian-market Evoluzione is a remarkable, unrestored example of one of the most iconic and successful rally homologation cars ever built. A San Gemini resident purchased this Evoluzione new and insisted the dealer leave all protective coverings intact. Auto 2000’s dealer principal, Sandro Barcaroli, reinforced this by writing in red lipstick on the dash cover: “Do not remove cellophane. Do not wash. Do not remove sponges from inside the engine bay.” Kept in the original owner’s family for over 30 years, the car now shows just 6,550 kilometers (~4,070 miles) and remains remarkably preserved. Finished in a beautifully understated combination of White over Green perforated Alcantara, this Evoluzione was factory-specified with an exceptionally rare list of features including Recaro seats, Bosch ABS, a Clarion head unit, air conditioning, and a split rear seat configuration. Notably, it was ordered without a sunroof, further emphasizing its performance focus. According to model experts, this particular car is even more special as it is one of the reported 200 “true” homologation examples uniquely equipped with a special-purpose water bag designed to cool the turbo intercooler during intense use—a real motorsport feature. While most of these early cars were delivered with disconnected systems, this example retains its factory-connected water bag system, with all hoses date-stamped from 1991. Mechanically, the car has just benefited from a comprehensive full service by a recognized specialist. In every sense, this car is a true time capsule. It remains completely unrestored, with original factory markings, factory wax, and protective plastics still present on the floors and door panels. This Evoluzione even still wears its 1991 tires, underscoring its lifetime of careful preservation. Further underlining the extraordinary originality and provenance of this Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione is the remarkable completeness of its documentation and accessories (inventory on file). The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione remains one of the most revered performance icons of the late 20th century. With its rally-bred DNA, superb balance, and analog driving experience, few cars offer the same combination of performance and soul. This car, with its rare factory specifications, pristine originality, low mileage, recent servicing, and unique backstory, is among the very best in existence—and a true jewel for any serious collector. 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The 190 SL became successful and is still the symbol of the economic miracle era. This 190 SL was registered according to available data card on 19.10.1955 in Schwandorf/Bavaria for the first time. The very early 190 SL was completely restored over many years by a SL specialist. Only original Mercedes parts were used, which the restorer meticulously collected worldwide over the last 15 years.

Very early version of the 190 SL, Mille Miglia capable! Very well documented, numbers and color combination corresponds to the delivery specification. Mercedes presented the W121BII model at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1955. At the same time, Mercedes also presented the super sports car of the time, the 300SL (“Gullwing”). In its shadow, the 190 SL, technically based on the “Ponton” Mercedes, was to achieve success. The 190 SL became successful and is still the symbol of the economic miracle era. This 190 SL was registered according to available data card on 19.10.1955 in Schwandorf/Bavaria for the first time. The very early 190 SL was completely restored over many years by a SL specialist. Only original Mercedes parts were used, which the restorer meticulously collected worldwide over the last 15 years. Everything is correct in detail like the car has left the factory in 1955 . With original luggage set. Matching numbers and matching colours!
