  • 1980 BMW M1 AHG Studie

    Among the rarest models BMW has ever built and the first to be created entirely under the purview of its elite M division, the M1 is a hand-built homologation special developed in the late-seventies to dominate racing competition. BMW Motorsport initially planned to build enough of the mid-engine coupes to meet the regulation for FIA Group 5; however, rule changes enacted during the car’s protracted development required a minimum of 400 examples be built to meet Group 4 regulations before the car could be homologated for Group 5. Rather than delay the racing program, BMW decided to create a one-make series while it continued further development and ramped up enough production to meet homologation requirements. The Procar BMW M1 Championship was announced in the spring of 1978, along with the official unveiling of the M1 road car. While Procar competition only lasted two seasons, running as a Formula One support series from 1979 to 1980, its popularity was undeniable. With their flared fenders, imposing front spoiler, massive rear wing, and incredible power, the M1’s presence on the racetrack left a lasting impression. Street and competition versions of the M1 were produced in tandem, with around 450 units in total being built from 1978 through 1981. With homologation requirements finally met, the M1 would be campaigned in various world championships, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Intent on using a mid-engine layout, BMW initially contracted Lamborghini to develop the M1 chassis, with the tubular steel spaceframe being devised with input from noted Italian engineer Gianpaolo Dallara. Lamborghini’s ensuing financial struggles delayed development and dissolved the partnership, but a group of disenfranchised engineers from the Italian automaker banded together and founded their own company to complete the work. The final product was impressive, featuring a rigid spaceframe and sophisticated, double-wishbone suspension with adjustable coil springs and Bilstein gas-filled dampers. The precise rack-and-pinion steering was unassisted. Angular fiberglass bodywork by famed designer Giorgetto Giugiaro gave the M1 visual impact commensurate with its performance potential. At the heart of the beast was BMW’s newly developed M88 3,453-cubic-centimeter inline six-cylinder engine, brimming with advancements, including six individual throttle bodies and mechanical fuel injection. In the road car, it produced 277 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, 243 pounds-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm, and an adrenaline-pumping shriek at full throttle. A ZF five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential put power to pavement. In 1982, after the Procar series ended and production for the M1 ceased, Peter Gartemann, president and owner of the German BMW dealer AHG, decided to create a limited-production design study inspired by the look of the mighty M1 Procars. This option package, called AHG Studie, transformed a standard road-going M1 into the ultimate Procar-style street machine. From the outside, the changes were clear, with aggressive Procar-inspired front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and flared wheel arches. But modifications went well beyond the imposing bodywork. The M1 AHG Studie cars received an adjustable racing suspension and 16-inch three-piece BBS wheels—eight inches wide up front and nine inches at the rear. The engine was uprated to 350 horsepower and mated to a special racing clutch and a new exhaust system. Still very much intended for the street, the interior was upgraded with leather seat inserts in place of the stock cloth ones and additional speakers were added to enhance the stereo system. Further increasing exclusivity, AHG commissioned the renowned German paint shop of Hermann Altmiks to finish each M1 in unique livery as directed by the customer. The cost was astronomical as the modifications were certified by TÜV, the German technical inspection association, requiring extensive testing and approvals. It is believed that no more than 10 examples with the AHG Studie package were created, each one unique. The M1 AHG Studie offered here is believed to be an original AHG M1 Studie, as indicated by markings throughout the body, including the “altmiks lackdesign” signature painted just below the driver-side taillight. According to BMW Classic, chassis 4301090 was built in 1979 and delivered on August 30 of that year to BMW dealer Schneider in Bielefeld, Germany. The original color was White (206). Not much is known about its early history other than that an owner saw fit to invest a considerable sum in modifying it with the AHG Studie package, replete with BMW Motorsport’s iconic tricolor livery. The car would ultimately find its way into the famous Ed Weaver Collection in Dalton, Georgia, where it resided until 1995. In 2011, it was purchased by renowned collector Don Davis. Soon thereafter, it was acquired by the AE Collection of Paul Walker and Roger Rodas in California, known for its rare Japanese and European sports cars. The car was acquired in 2014 by a subsequent owner, who had the water pump rebuilt in 2015, and the oil changed, the coolant and brake fluid flushed, the battery and an outer tie-rod replaced, and the valve cover repainted in 2018. The California-based consignor acquired the car in February 2021. It has been sparingly driven its entire life, showing only 6,821 kilometers on the odometer at cataloguing time. One the most exclusive BMWs ever produced, this sparingly driven AHG-modified M1 is even more compelling than the already stellar standard model. With stunning Procar-inspired bodywork, a one-off tricolor livery, and increased performance from the uprated M88 engine, it is surely among the most attractive and collectable examples of its type. 1980 BMW M1 AHG Studie RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1986 Mercedes-Benz 420 SL

    The Mercedes-Benz 420 SL is the rarest model in the popular R107 series, and is recognised by marque experts as being a ‘sweet spot’ in the extensive range thanks to its powerful yet refined V8 engine. The 420 SL being offered for sale here was sold new by Normand (Mayfair) Ltd on London’s Park Lane, to an owner who lived in Hyde Park Crescent. It was specified with options that included the expensive and extremely desirable air-conditioning, rear seats, and an outside temperature gauge that took the place of the central air vent on the dashboard. It is superbly presented in perhaps the best colour combination for an R107: Nautical Blue with Beige leather. The front seats are heated, while the dark-blue fabric soft-top is thought to be the original. The car is also supplied with a matching factory hard-top – plus a stand on which to store it when it’s not in use. This 420 SL has an extensive history file that includes the original maintenance booklet and owner’s manual, both of which are still in their original leather wallet. The maintenance booklet records its comprehensive service history, starting with its pre-delivery inspection at the supplying dealer. There are also numerous recent invoices from The SL Shop, which knows this car well, having sold it twice since 2012. It’s been used sparingly in recent years and has still covered only 67,000 miles, but it’s been lovingly maintained along the way and performed faultlessly on a trip to Scotland in the hands of the current owner. Offering a peerless blend of style, versatility and engineering quality, this Mercedes 420 SL not only benefits from the raft of improvements that were made to late-model R107s, but it’s also a well-specified car in its own right, featuring what many people believe to be the best colour scheme and the best engine. 1986 Mercedes-Benz 420 SL The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1985 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2

    APEX PREDATOR Group B is often hailed as the golden era of rallying, producing some of the most powerful rally cars to ever take to a special stage and fostering a previously unheard-of level of development and innovation. No car or manufacturer exemplified that better than Audi and its game-changing quattro. The Ingolstadt outfit is credited with bringing four-wheel drive to the rally stage, and its revolutionary design delivered no fewer than three Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ World Championships by 1984. But while it held the advantage over rear-drive competition, the car was also overweight and nose heavy. In an effort to stay ahead of its rivals—development of Lancia’s S4 having begun in 1983—Audi introduced the Sport quattro in 1984. Despite its prodigious power output, the shorter-wheelbase car was difficult to handle and drivers struggled. Eventual 1984 World Champion Stig Blomqvist even avoided using the new car until he had one hand on the trophy. The situation led to the development of what is widely accepted to be one of the most fearsomely powerful and ferociously quick rally cars of the golden era: the Audi quattro S1 E2. The new car made use of the same fIve-cylinder 2,110-cc alloy block with a 20-valve aluminium head mated to a single vast KKK turbocharger and was capable of producing a colossal 550 horsepower—among the highest of any Group B rally car. Coupled with lightweight carbon-Kevlar composite bodywork and four-wheel drive, the quattro S1 E2 could hit 160 km/h in a blistering 8.9 seconds. In the words of Walter Röhrl: “the engine was always blowing off pressure and banging explosions into the countryside. No car was like that”. Power aside, the E2’s greatest achievement was much improved weight distribution and a slimming regimen that saw it tip the scales at around 1,100 kilograms. Engineers moved many of the heavier components—including the radiator, fans, and even the alternator—to the rear of the car, while the wild bodywork and vast front and rear wings that became the car’s trademark were shaped by wind tunnel testing and greatly improved total downforce. In total, just 20 examples of this legendary rally weapon would leave Audi’s Ingolstadt works. ON THE LOOSE Chassis 018 was the 18th of 20 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2s built and is recorded on an Audi Sport document (on file) as being registered “IN-NR-43” in Ingolstadt on 12 February 1986 with a note that it was built specifically for the Greek (Acropolis) rally.. As documented in Reinhard Klein’s definitive Group B – The Owner’s Edition, IN-NR-43 was entered in the 1986 Rallye de Portugal, driven by two-time WRC (World Rally Championship) champion Walter Röhrl. Excitement for the event was tempered by concern at the Sintra stage—previously a night-time section—being run in daylight, with huge crowds expected to line the course, and a usually reserved Markku Alén even appealed for people to steer clear of the danger. A more pragmatic Röhrl had been quizzed on the involvement of spectators a year earlier and had said: “They are only bushes to us—only trees; if we think these are people, we cannot drive”. Röhrl found his pace from the off, leading the first stage on equal footing with Alén and his Lancia Delta S4 despite a chilling near miss in which a spectator ran across the road in front of the charging quattro. The second stage resulted in Röhrl losing ground to the Lancia S4s and Peugeot T-16s, and by the end of the much longer third stage he had consolidated his position running 5th overall behind the three Works Lancias and the Peugeot of Juha Kankkunen. The rally was cut short by Joaquim Santos’ tragic accident. In the immediate aftermath all Works teams withdrew from the event as a mark of respect for those lost. Audi withdrew from the entire Championship, with this outing for chassis 018 marking the manufacturer’s final competitive entry in Group B. It was subsequently sold to Sweden. A PHOENIX RISING The Group B era of rallying encouraged the development of some of the most exciting machines in motorsport and provided a spectacle that was never to be equalled—but this thrilling period of competition was all too brief. In many ways the series flew too close to the sun, the unchecked arms race of peak performance and spectator involvement proving a deadly combination. Some Group B machines, such as Audi’s all-conquering Sport quattro S1 E2, found themselves without a home when the formula was outlawed in 1986, while others, including the E2’s would-be successor, the quattro RS 002, would be abandoned during development and never turn a wheel in anger. With the advent of Group A as the WRC’s primary category, the only other plausible places for these beasts to compete were hill climbs or the European Rallycross Championship, and scores of former Group B rally weapons—including chassis 018—were deployed into the fiercely competitive and crowd-pleasing formula. Fascinatingly, the rally exiles would be developed beyond even the extremes of Group B, such was the sprint-based formula in deference to the endurance format of rallying. Like many of its contemporaries, chassis 018 was refined and modified for Rallycross competition, where it was briefly campaigned by Anders Carlsson. Freed from the shackles of prior homologation, numerous cosmetic and mechanical modifications were made to tailor the car to the short and frenetic circuits that made up the championship. Chasiss 018 then took part in the 1989 and 1990 Race Of Champions, before being acquired by the Race Of Champions co-founder in 1991. Conceived to showcase the very best rally talent and later expanded to include leading lights from all disciplines of motorsport, the event’s high-octane demonstrations have for more than 30 years delivered a spectacle that appeals to every true motorsport fan by pitting some of the world's best drivers from a variety of disciplines and nationalities against one another. This very Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 became an integral part of that vision, playing a headline role at the 1989 Race Of Champions, held at the Nürburgring, and the 1990 Race Of Champions event in Barcelona. During those two events chassis 018 was driven by Björn Waldegård, Walter Röhrl, Ari Vatanen, Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist, Timo Salonen, Juha Kankkunen, Miki Biasion, and Carlos Sainz—in short, every World Rally Champion from 1979 to 1990. The car is accompanied by a bonnet (front hood) that has been signed by every one of the luminaries on that list, with the exception of Kankkunen (who had previously signed the side of the car instead!). This significant quattro arguably became the most recognisable car to feature in the Race Of Champions, demonstrated in no fewer than 13 events everywhere from Bangkok and Beijing to Miami and Barbados. While in current ownership the quattro has been prepared and maintained by former Audi Sport engineer Karl Hasenbilcher. Today, chassis 018 presents in fine mechanical fettle, having largely been preserved for the past three decades in the same specification in which Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vatanen etc drove the car in ROC 1989 and 1990, save for a livery change. It must be noted that there are some significant deviations from its original Group B specification, including a replacement engine block (iron) which in 2021 benefited from a complete rebuild at the hands of Audi Sport’s legendary engineer Karl Hasenbilcher. Due to the complexities of the car’s unique current set-up, it is strongly recommended that interested parties speak with an RM Sotheby’s car specialist and ideally arrange for an in-person viewing. In total, just 20 examples of Audi’s outrageous Sport quattro S1 E2 were ever built, each a shining, flame-spitting beacon from the dying days of the last great epoch of rallying. Of the few S1 E2s to have become available, this car is arguably the most well-known to recent generations of rally fans, and in our opinion is the most exciting Group B restoration prospect for many years. Its next custodian will have the opportunity to either keep the car as it has been known and run in the Race Of Champions, or to return it to Works-standard Group B configuration. 1985 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 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 APEX PREDATOR Group B is often hailed as the golden era of rallying, producing some of the most powerful rally cars to ever take to a special stage and fostering a previously unheard-of level of development and innovation. No car or manufacturer exemplified that better than Audi and its game-changing quattro. The Ingolstadt outfit is credited with bringing four-wheel drive to the rally stage, and its revolutionary design delivered no fewer than three Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ World Championships by 1984. But while it held the advantage over rear-drive competition, the car was also overweight and nose heavy. In an effort to stay ahead of its rivals—development of Lancia’s S4 having begun in 1983—Audi introduced the Sport quattro in 1984. Despite its prodigious power output, the shorter-wheelbase car was difficult to handle and drivers struggled. Eventual 1984 World Champion Stig Blomqvist even avoided using the new car until he had one hand on the trophy. The situation led to the development of what is widely accepted to be one of the most fearsomely powerful and ferociously quick rally cars of the golden era: the Audi quattro S1 E2. The new car made use of the same fIve-cylinder 2,110-cc alloy block with a 20-valve aluminium head mated to a single vast KKK turbocharger and was capable of producing a colossal 550 horsepower—among the highest of any Group B rally car. Coupled with lightweight carbon-Kevlar composite bodywork and four-wheel drive, the quattro S1 E2 could hit 160 km/h in a blistering 8.9 seconds. In the words of Walter Röhrl: “the engine was always blowing off pressure and banging explosions into the countryside. No car was like that”. Power aside, the E2’s greatest achievement was much improved weight distribution and a slimming regimen that saw it tip the scales at around 1,100 kilograms. Engineers moved many of the heavier components—including the radiator, fans, and even the alternator—to the rear of the car, while the wild bodywork and vast front and rear wings that became the car’s trademark were shaped by wind tunnel testing and greatly improved total downforce. In total, just 20 examples of this legendary rally weapon would leave Audi’s Ingolstadt works. ON THE LOOSE Chassis 018 was the 18th of 20 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2s built and is recorded on an Audi Sport document (on file) as being registered “IN-NR-43” in Ingolstadt on 12 February 1986 with a note that it was built specifically for the Greek (Acropolis) rally.. As documented in Reinhard Klein’s definitive Group B – The Owner’s Edition, IN-NR-43 was entered in the 1986 Rallye de Portugal, driven by two-time WRC (World Rally Championship) champion Walter Röhrl. Excitement for the event was tempered by concern at the Sintra stage—previously a night-time section—being run in daylight, with huge crowds expected to line the course, and a usually reserved Markku Alén even appealed for people to steer clear of the danger. A more pragmatic Röhrl had been quizzed on the involvement of spectators a year earlier and had said: “They are only bushes to us—only trees; if we think these are people, we cannot drive”. Röhrl found his pace from the off, leading the first stage on equal footing with Alén and his Lancia Delta S4 despite a chilling near miss in which a spectator ran across the road in front of the charging quattro. The second stage resulted in Röhrl losing ground to the Lancia S4s and Peugeot T-16s, and by the end of the much longer third stage he had consolidated his position running 5th overall behind the three Works Lancias and the Peugeot of Juha Kankkunen. The rally was cut short by Joaquim Santos’ tragic accident. In the immediate aftermath all Works teams withdrew from the event as a mark of respect for those lost. Audi withdrew from the entire Championship, with this outing for chassis 018 marking the manufacturer’s final competitive entry in Group B. It was subsequently sold to Sweden. A PHOENIX RISING The Group B era of rallying encouraged the development of some of the most exciting machines in motorsport and provided a spectacle that was never to be equalled—but this thrilling period of competition was all too brief. In many ways the series flew too close to the sun, the unchecked arms race of peak performance and spectator involvement proving a deadly combination. Some Group B machines, such as Audi’s all-conquering Sport quattro S1 E2, found themselves without a home when the formula was outlawed in 1986, while others, including the E2’s would-be successor, the quattro RS 002, would be abandoned during development and never turn a wheel in anger. With the advent of Group A as the WRC’s primary category, the only other plausible places for these beasts to compete were hill climbs or the European Rallycross Championship, and scores of former Group B rally weapons—including chassis 018—were deployed into the fiercely competitive and crowd-pleasing formula. Fascinatingly, the rally exiles would be developed beyond even the extremes of Group B, such was the sprint-based formula in deference to the endurance format of rallying. Like many of its contemporaries, chassis 018 was refined and modified for Rallycross competition, where it was briefly campaigned by Anders Carlsson.

  • 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB by Scaglietti

    In the early 1970s, Ferrari developed a new platform to succeed the highly popular 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The 365 GT4 BB, revealed at the 1971 Turin Motor Show, brought with it Ferrari’s first mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine—nicknamed the “Boxer”, due to its 4.4-litre flat-12 configuration—and the Berlinetta Boxer model family came into being. Ferrari would later evolve the platform to make way for the 512 BB, then the Testarossa. The 365 GT4 BB itself was produced from 1973 to 1976, with 387 made. As a result of its limited production run, the car is especially coveted by Ferrari collectors and enthusiasts. The example offered here, chassis 17883, was completed by the Maranello factory on 2 May 1974. The Ferrari was specified in Blu Dino over a “Jute”-style interior, configured as a European version for delivery to Italy—one of just 44 examples painted with this colour. Later that month, it was delivered the dealership Renato Nocentini’s Garage La Rotonda in Prato, near Florence. The Ferrari was soon sold to its first owner, Mr Pietro Rossi, the owner of an automotive body repair business in Perugia, who registered the car in May 1974 with the licence plates “PG 242146”. In 1978, the 365 GT4 BB was sold to its second owner, Mrs Antoniette Verlicchi, and after her passing in 1990 the car was procured by her relative, Mr Pietro Bottoni. In 1995 the Ferrari was acquired by Mr Roberto Danieli of Oriago di Mira, near Venice. In 1998, the Ferrari’s stay in its Italian homeland temporarily came to an end as the 365 GT4 BB was bought by its fifth owner, Mr Ulrich K. Senoner of Munich, Germany. The Ferrari stayed in Germany until it was acquired at auction by the consigning owner in 2017. During the car’s stay in Germany, the Ferrari was subject to significant expenditure with the Italian car specialist Reinhard Schürer (invoices available to view on file) before being kept in storage for a number of years, and later being returned to running condition for sale at auction. Certified by Ferrari Classiche and accompanied by its “Red Book”, this 365 GT4 BB has been found to retain its matching numbers engine and gearbox. The Ferrari presents in a resplendent shade of red, while the car retains its rare and desirable factory-fitted “Jute”-style interior and is offered with its original owner’s manual. This is a rare example of a well-documented, original 365 GT4 BB and a car that warrants inclusion in any comprehensive collection of Ferraris. 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy'

    By the mid-1960s it seemed Ferrari could do no wrong, winning on all fronts from sports car racing to Grands Prix and producing the most beautiful cars in the world. Ferrari's dual-purpose cars seemed unstoppable combining race-winning performance with film star good looks. As the legendary 250 GT LWB "Tour de France" gave way to the marvellous 250 GT SWB Berlinetta - and lead ultimately to the awe-inspiring 250 GTO in 1962. Introduced at the 1964 Paris Auto Show, the new 275 GTB gave Ferrari a chance to incorporate all the best characteristics of this fabled bloodline. Many consider the resulting car to be the finest production Ferrari ever built, combining the thoroughbred mechanical pedigree of its road racing forebears with sufficient creature comforts to make the 275 GTB a superlative grand touring automobile. Under the skin, the 275 GTB incorporated the best Ferrari chassis design, starting with the oval section tube backbone chassis. Independent suspension was fitted all around for the first time on a road-going Ferrari, and a 5-speed gearbox was also included in the specification. The transmission was mounted at the rear of the car for improved weight distribution in a transaxle. Now enlarged to 3.3 litres, the 60-degree V12 engine remained the familiar Colombo type, in standard form producing 280bhp at 7,600rpm. A higher, claimed 300bhp, state of tune was available by employing six Weber carburettors instead of the standard three. In addition, customers purchasing a 275 GTB for road use could also specify aluminium coachwork. This coachwork was all new too, a stunning Pininfarina design that evoked the graceful lines of the legendary 250 GTO. A long bonnet combined with a fastback rear body created a striking profile, while vents in the front wings gave the car a muscular edge. Vents in the sail panels added to the effect and paid tribute to the 250 GT "Tour de France" Berlinetta’s. A smoothly integrated rear spoiler helped give the car a strong visual identity. Although the 275 GTB was a car of many firsts, it was also the last car that could be considered a true coach-built road/race Berlinetta in the great Ferrari tradition. Although most lived their lives on the streets, many led a dual life, winning on road courses and hill climbs on the weekend, while providing stylish and exciting transportation during the week. Only approximately 60 275 GTB’s were bodied entirely out of alloy during the entire four year production run of 275’s. Of these, approximately 25 were also delivered new with the more powerful 6 carburettor engine option. From those, it is understood that just 6 examples were completed in RHD. Peter Mitchell was a wealthy man who knew his Ferraris. The Australian had already owned a short nose 275 GTB, and so when he ordered this car, he set out to make what was already a very special car, unique. As per the original build specification, this 275 GTB was optioned from new with an aluminium body, headrests, competition cloth seat inserts, and as a special order, a hand-painted Scuderia Ferrari shield on the rear of the kamm-tail. The car was ordered through Maranello Concessionaires in Egham, as all RHD examples at the time were. When the 275 was ready for collection, Mitchell was just 18 years old. He journeyed to the factory and collected the car personally, taking the car to Rome where he resided. In early 1966, the car was shipped to Australia continuing in his care and much more usable in RHD. The 275 would remain there until 2013. Whilst it passed through several keepers, the car itself had never been on the open market, changing hands privately over the years from one owner to the other. By the early 1990s, the 275 had been refinished in Rosso. The Ferrari Owners Club records note the car passing through the hands of Ian Cotter, Geoff Thornton and then David Rodd, each highly respected Ferrari collectors in their own right. In 2013, the car benefitted from a very extensive overhaul including an engine and gearbox rebuild by one of the leading Ferrari workshops in Australia. Once back in the UK, having been purchased by the current custodian, the decision was made to return the car to its original colour of Argento. Initiating an extensive cosmetic restoration with notable marque specialists in the UK, the works totalled £175,000. The body, when stripped, was found to have remained in excellent and original condition, thanks to the Australian climate.This restoration culminated in the car being invited to and presented at Pebble Beach in 2014. Subsequently, this example was sold to its next owner, who utilised GTO Engineering's highly respected workshops to carry out routine maintenance on the 275. In 2018, this wonderful 275 changed hands once more, purchased back by its previous custodian, who originally presented the car at Pebble Beach a decade prior. Today this alloy-bodied 275 presents as you would expect for a former Pebble Beach entrant. Accompanied by its tool roll, original handbook and Ferrari red book Classiche certification, this wonderful 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy' is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C 'Alloy' D.K.

  • 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa

    BIRTH OF A LEGEND Every great saga opens with a deceptively simple chapter, or as the saying goes, the longest journey begins with but a single step. In the case of the featured lot, that great saga, the metaphorical longest journey, is the production of Ferrari’s longest-running and most celebrated vintage model—the 250 GT. And this remarkable coachbuilt Ferrari is that opening chapter, the initial single step; this Vignale-bodied Ferrari is the very first 250 road car produced. From its 1947 inception, Ferrari overwhelmingly relied on a Gioacchino Colombo-designed V-12 that was successively developed from its original 1.5-liter displacement to 1.9, 2.3, 2.6, and 2.7-liter configurations. In early 1952, the engine was further enlarged with a single-cylinder volume approaching 250 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 2,953-cubic-centimeter engine became the first edition of the famous Colombo short-block 3-liter V-12—a motor that in one form or another remained in production through 1964. This remarkably long development period of 13 years not only cemented an important legacy in Ferrari’s lore, but it guaranteed the 250 engine a degree of reliability that was altogether lacking in less developed and time-tested motors engineered by the competition, a benefit that became apparent during numerous wins in endurance racing events. Unsurprisingly, the earliest 250 engines were utilized in competition cars, starting with the 250 Sport that Giovanni Bracco famously flogged through the rain to win the 1952 Mille Miglia, and most immediately leading to a short run of 250 MM berlinettas and spiders that followed. A year later Ferrari finally installed the 3-liter V-12 in a luxurious grand touring car intended solely for road use: this very important Vignale-bodied Ferrari (0295 EU), in what was essentially the inception of the legendary 250 GT. According to an authoritative feature article in Cavallino magazine by Ferrari historian and Pebble Beach judge Alan C. Boe, and as corroborated by the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 0295 EU, presented here, is the very first 250 Europa built. It is effectively the prototypical example of a 3-liter grand touring Ferrari, and it was one of just two that received the 3-liter Colombo 250 V-12. (Only the first two 250 Europas were equipped as such, the following 20 examples being fitted with a Lampredi-designed engine.) The car is one of just three 250 Europa coupes that were bodied by Vignale. Most importantly, however, this car must be considered a prototypical example of a Ferrari 3-liter Colombo-powered grand touring car, essentially the progenitor of the venerable 250 GT, Ferrari’s most celebrated and successful platform. A one-off, 0295 EU was clothed in one of Giovanni Michelotti’s more intriguing designs, showing a clear influence from the Vignale-bodied 340 Mexicos that ran the Carrera Panamericana, while featuring intricate finishing in the half-chromed fender protuberances, and chrome-molded side scallops painted in a complementary two-tone color scheme. The large eggcrate grille, single arcing belt line, and the high-waisted low-roof architecture combined to result in a muscular brute of a stance, emanating power and style. This 250 Europa was publicly unveiled by Ferrari in October 1953 at the Paris Salon. The coachwork was finished in an arresting shade of Rosso Rubino, with a very dark hue of Amaranto red in the distinctive coves, nearly approaching black. This luxuriously appointed road car represented Maranello’s strongest step yet toward a consistent model line, as the 250 would soon assume full production in the Pinin Farina-bodied 250 Europas and Europa GTs, the segue to the true 250 GT Coupes and Cabriolets that appeared in 1956 and 1957. Ferrari’s first phase of legitimate production automobiles would eventually extend all the way to the 250 GT/L Lusso of the mid-1960s, while offering some of history’s most compelling models along the way, including the dual-use Tour de France Berlinetta and California Spider, and the competition-specified Testa Rossa and GTO race cars. Following its presentation at the 1953 Paris Salon, this fascinating Europa was sold to its first owner, Robert Teakle of Detroit, Michigan. Over the next 18 years, the Ferrari passed through the care of seven additional American owners before being acquired in August 1971 by Gilbert Walton of Danville, California. Mr. Walton went on to retain possession for a remarkable period of 37 years, during which the Europa was mostly stored in preparation for a restoration. Some work began in the mid-1980s, but when Mr. Walton offered the car for sale in 2008, it was still in a partially disassembled state. ITALIAN RENAISSANCE In August 2008 the significant Ferrari was purchased from Walton by Brian Hoyt, the well-known proprietor of Perfect Reflections in Hayward, California, one of the vintage Ferrari niche’s most respected restoration concerns. Aware that he had secured the long-forgotten 1953 Paris Salon show car, Mr. Hoyt commenced an exacting refurbishment that addressed every mechanical and cosmetic consideration. The original Colombo 3-liter V-12 was sent to the highly respected marque specialist Patrick Ottis, who completely rebuilt the important engine, including the installation of new pistons. The running gear and ancillary systems were all rebuilt, and Mr. Hoyt spent many hours studying photos of the car from 1953 in order to optimally replicate the finish and accessory details. The aluminum coachwork was reduced to bare metal and then treated to a deep two-tone finish in Rosso Rubino on the majority of the body, while the side coves were finished in contrasting Nero, and the interior was trimmed in beige leather upholstery. Upon completion of the masterful five-year restoration, the Europa was sold to the consignor, a respected collector of important vintage Ferraris based in Kentucky. In an effort to further improve the car’s historical accuracy, the new owner and Mr. Hoyt took additional efforts to study period evidence. Concluding that the side coves were originally a very dark red, but not quite black, Mr. Hoyt refinished the coves in a thin coat of red paint that returned them to a beautiful deep red hue. The owner wasted no time in exhibiting the magnificent Europa on the show scene, beginning with presentation at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2015, where the car participated in the very competitive Grand Touring Ferrari class. Five months later the 250 was shown at the Cavallino Classic, winning a Platinum Award and the Elegance Cup for the finest coachbuilt Ferrari. In April 2016 the Europa was certified by Ferrari Classiche with a Red Book that demonstrates the continued presence of the numbers-matching chassis, engine, and coachwork. The gearbox and rear differential have been replaced with correct-type components stamped by Ferrari Classiche, further assuring the car is presented with the highest possible level of authenticity. In May 2016 the Ferrari was exhibited at the exclusive Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza at Lake Como, Italy, and a month later it was the featured cover car of Cavallino magazine, in conjunction with Mr. Boe’s well-researched article. In 2017 the Europa was presented at the Arizona Concours d’Elegance, collecting a class award and a special award for the Most Elegant Postwar Car, and at the Salon Privé Concours d’Elegance in Great Britain, where it won an Outstanding Coachwork award during the event’s tribute to 70 Years of Ferrari. The year’s activities were nicely rounded out when the Europa was displayed at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. Additional awards were earned at the 2019 Concours d’Elegance Suisse (Best of Show), the 2019 Las Vegas Concours d’Elegance (Best of Show, Post War), and the 2021 Cavallino Classic Middle East edition at Abu Dhabi (Best of Show and Gran Turismo Cup). The consignor also enjoyed the car in an organized driving event when it participated in the Ferrari Factory Cavalcade Classic staged through the Dolomite Mountains in Italy during September 2022. Ideal for enjoyment on major vintage touring events and rallies, or presentation at world-class concours d’elegance, this outstanding show-awarded Europa is an important cornerstone of the 250 GT legend. It continues to benefit from Mr. Hoyt’s top-notch restoration, and it is desirably documented with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book that certifies the continued presence of the matching-numbers V-12 engine. Bona fide Maranello show cars presented by the manufacturer in period are only seldom offered in public, and this extremely special coachbuilt example would make a crowning acquisition for any connoisseur of significant 1950s Ferraris. For collectors in search of important prototypical examples of legendary post-war models, the availability of 0295 EU presents a unique opportunity for the knowledgeable tifoso. 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa 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 BIRTH OF A LEGEND Every great saga opens with a deceptively simple chapter, or as the saying goes, the longest journey begins with but a single step. In the case of the featured lot, that great saga, the metaphorical longest journey, is the production of Ferrari’s longest-running and most celebrated vintage model—the 250 GT. And this remarkable coachbuilt Ferrari is that opening chapter, the initial single step; this Vignale-bodied Ferrari is the very first 250 road car produced. From its 1947 inception, Ferrari overwhelmingly relied on a Gioacchino Colombo-designed V-12 that was successively developed from its original 1.5-liter displacement to 1.9, 2.3, 2.6, and 2.7-liter configurations. In early 1952, the engine was further enlarged with a single-cylinder volume approaching 250 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 2,953-cubic-centimeter engine became the first edition of the famous Colombo short-block 3-liter V-12—a motor that in one form or another remained in production through 1964. This remarkably long development period of 13 years not only cemented an important legacy in Ferrari’s lore, but it guaranteed the 250 engine a degree of reliability that was altogether lacking in less developed and time-tested motors engineered by the competition, a benefit that became apparent during numerous wins in endurance racing events. Unsurprisingly, the earliest 250 engines were utilized in competition cars, starting with the 250 Sport that Giovanni Bracco famously flogged through the rain to win the 1952 Mille Miglia, and most immediately leading to a short run of 250 MM berlinettas and spiders that followed. A year later Ferrari finally installed the 3-liter V-12 in a luxurious grand touring car intended solely for road use: this very important Vignale-bodied Ferrari (0295 EU), in what was essentially the inception of the legendary 250 GT. According to an authoritative feature article in Cavallino magazine by Ferrari historian and Pebble Beach judge Alan C. Boe, and as corroborated by the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, chassis number 0295 EU, presented here, is the very first 250 Europa built. It is effectively the prototypical example of a 3-liter grand touring Ferrari, and it was one of just two that received the 3-liter Colombo 250 V-12. (Only the first two 250 Europas were equipped as such, the following 20 examples being fitted with a Lampredi-designed engine.) The car is one of just three 250 Europa coupes that were bodied by Vignale. Most importantly, however, this car must be considered a prototypical example of a Ferrari 3-liter Colombo-powered grand touring car, essentially the progenitor of the venerable 250 GT, Ferrari’s most celebrated and successful platform. A one-off, 0295 EU was clothed in one of Giovanni Michelotti’s more intriguing designs, showing a clear influence from the Vignale-bodied 340 Mexicos that ran the Carrera Panamericana, while featuring intricate finishing in the half-chromed fender protuberances, and chrome-molded side scallops painted in a complementary two-tone color scheme. The large eggcrate grille, single arcing belt line, and the high-waisted low-roof architecture combined to result in a muscular brute of a stance, emanating power and style. This 250 Europa was publicly unveiled by Ferrari in October 1953 at the Paris Salon. The coachwork was finished in an arresting shade of Rosso Rubino, with a very dark hue of Amaranto red in the distinctive coves, nearly approaching black.

  • 1993 Ferrari 512 TR Spider

    The 512 TR was the replacement for the Testarossa, and was announced for the 1992 model year. The new car witnessed a return to a model title using characters, with the figure "5" referring to the cubic capacity of the engine in litres and the "12" to the number of cylinders, whilst the "TR" was an abbreviation of Testarossa (Testa Rossa). The main external visual differences were the nose and tail treatment, the louvre design on the engine lid and the design of the road wheels. There was also a barely noticeable different profile to the sail panel buttresses, which were plain and flowed directly into the roof panel on the 512 TR, instead of featuring the step and black perforated exhaust air grilles of the Testarossa. Internally there were changes to the seats, steering wheel design and trim details. Mechanically there were numerous changes to the engine and gearbox, which boosted power, and provided a more satisfying and positive to use gearbox. Not visually apparent was that the engine and transmission assembly location in the chassis had been dropped by 30mm, to lower the centre of gravity, and thus improve the already high standard of roadholding. The net result of these changes was a jump in the claimed power output of 38bhp to 428bhp @ 6750rpm for European models and 421bhp at the same engine speed for US models. The increased power provided improved acceleration, although the top speed was still in line with that of its predecessor. This 512 TR sits apart from others. This 512 TR was supplied new to the Saudi Arabian Royal Family, care of official Ferrari importers to the region, Red Sea Motors in Jeddah, on 1st June 1993. Immensely passionate about the Ferrari marque, the family were visited by members of the Brunei Royal Family, at their embassy in Riyadh. After a discussion about some new bespoke projects due to arrive in Brunei from Pininfarina, the Saudi Royal Family were enamoured at the sight of a new special project developed in partnership with Hong Seh Motors of Singapore. Ferrari were set to build three 512 TR Spiders. Immediately after the Brunei Royal Family departure, the Saudi Royals contacted Pininfarina in an attempt to secure their own example. Unfortunately, with such strong ties to Brunei, Pininfarina had to reject the request. Seeking an alternative option, the Saudi Royal Family reached out to renowned German coachbuilders Lorenz & Rankl. Formerly carrying out conversion work on behalf of tuners Koenig as well a wealth of desert hunting vehicles for various Middle Eastern Royal families, Lorenz & Rankl had made their name making bespoke convertibles of Mercedes Benz and Ferrari models. Their experience extended to a full convertible version of Ferrari’s 308 and 512 BB. They converted 5 Testarossas to convertible configuration, but would make just 1 512 TR. Leaving the care of its commissioning Royal owner in 2014. It had been stored for a number of years in the Palace garage without use. The TR was sold to a close family friend who had the car fully stripped and serviced, refinishing the car in the Rosso Corsa it presents in today. The restoration took over a year and was completed in 2016. It was used sparingly by the second owner, covering 2,500 kilometres over the next four years, all of which were still in Saudi Arabia. The car was serviced by both Al Tayer Motors and Euro Motors Bahrain during this time. This example was purchased by the current owner in 2020, and, with permission of the Royal Family it was exported to the USA. Since its arrival in the USA, it has undergone registration, now holding a full US title and been serviced on two further occasions, including a major service with cambelts by Omega Motorsport in 2020. Accompanied by its luggage,a book pack including service book and tools, this 512 TR by Lorenz & Rankl is a fantastic means to enjoy Ferrari’s 4.9 twelve cylinder.

  • 1979 Porsche 928

    If someone described a car as a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured in Germany, the obvious conclusion would always be Porsche. Then, in 1977 the unthinkable happened in Stuttgart. The engine was moved to the front, two more cylinders were added, arranged in a V-formation, and for the first time since 1948 the little car company from Gmund, Austria had a true GT car for the masses: the 928. This new step forward for Porsche did not come without hurdles, but it easily solidified their ability to meet market demands and produce anything they set their minds to. The technical specifications of the 928 are interesting. As the goal was to create a Luxury GT car to (at the time) hypothetically replace the famed 911, the car needed solid attributes of previously successful V8-powered cars as well as successful GT cars. All this, while still trying to meet new US safety and Emissions regulations. As a result, the 928 had similarities to that of the Chrysler 426 Hemi with 122MM Bore spacing, and early prototypes even had a 4-barrel carburetor for testing. When it debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, it was well received due to its comfort and power as a GT car. However, it struggled to sell against the 911 and never really took off as Porsche anticipated. 18 years later, however, the 928 was still in production and saw quite a few variations, such as the S, S4, GT, and GTS models amongst others. Today the 928 has become somewhat of an icon for an era and has remained as a car with a cult-like following that still is embellished by enthusiasts around the globe. The Porsche 928 on offer here, chassis #9289201411, is a 1979 model year, built just two years into the overall Porsche 928 production cycle. It is beautifully finished in Schwarz Metallic with complimenting ‘phone dial’ wheels as well as a Pasha interior, one of the best interiors Porsche ever offered, in our humble opinion! It has been very well maintained over the years and show just 32,548 original miles. Its first owner accumulated around 19,000 miles in the 23 years of ownership before changing hands with its second owner who resided in Michigan in the year 2002. During their ownership, the car only gained another 10,000 miles over 18 years before it was realized that the car was going to sit more and more as values climbed, so the decision was made to sell it. The second owner ended up selling the 928 to Casey Putsch of Perrysburg, Ohio, in December of 2019. Casey has a large YouTube automotive channel as well as being the founder of www.geniusgarageracing.com, which specializes in automotive-focused educational programming. For the next year, he used this 928 as part of his educational content and began a light refurbishment, which included: Upholstered cloth interior with Pasha New black upholstery on the fronts of the front seats and the backs of the rear seats Leather wrap on the original steering wheel New dash switches, knobs, etc Plastic dash cover Tune CIS fuel injection After Casey’s ownership, the car made its way to Reno, Nevada, where it spent a little under 2 years, and was driven sparingly while receiving work to make it even nicer. Today this example remains in very nice overall condition, and the interior looks great thanks to the freshened/upgraded Pasha interior. The front and rear seats have been reupholstered in factory Pasha that was ordered from Germany with no signs of wear. The door panel inserts have also been upgraded to Pasha. The carpet is original, as are the floor mats and the Blaupunkt cassette radio. The underside and engine bay are very clean and also indicative of a low-mile example. The car is very dry and obviously not driven in harsh conditions. There are no signs of any prior damage or rust repairs. An extensive mechanical service was carried out within the last 3 years, as well as a full refurbishment of the air conditioning, brake, fuel, intake, vacuum systems, and much more costing well over $25,000. From our time spent enjoying this grand tourer, we admired how compliant and effortlessly fast this 928 is. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The paint is not original but is in good condition. The Schwarz Metallic paint has deep and consistent shine throughout with a wonderful shimmer in direct sunlight. The gaps and body panel lines are all straight and tight. Glass And Trim The glass throughout the car appears to be all original, with the correct SEKURIT stampings on the side windows as well as the SIGLA branding on the front windscreen. The rubber trim surrounding the windows is in acceptable condition given the car's age but could be replaced to match the redone interior. Wheels The factory ‘Phone dial’ wheels are in decent shape, showing some very minor rock chips on the rear passenger and front driver wheels. All four center caps could be replaced as the paint is chipping and faded. Notable Flaws The trim around the door windows and hatch windows need a little bit of attention. The wheels have a few very minor chips in them from use INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The Pasha seats while original in specification have been redone at some point as well as the inserts in the door card and present in really nice condition. The dashboard cover seems to have been replaced at some point as well, leaving a small gap above the air registers. Functionality And Accessories All functions such as the A/C, radio, lights, etc are all in working order. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay remains in excellent and well-preserved condition. All the plastics are still deep and dark with correct stickers, hoses, and clamps throughout. Each body panel sticker is present as well. Trunk Area The trunk area retains the correct and original carpets and is clean and tidy. Underside A recent detail to the undercarriage reveals a well kept space with no rust or other issues to note. MECHANICALS Engine This early 928 remains in very good mechanical order. It fires to life quickly and idles smoothly. Out on the road, it makes good consistent power and climbs easily through the rev range with no stumbles or flat spots in acceleration. Transmission The transmission shifts easily through the long gears. The recently installed clutch holds power nicely, and the pedal provides proper take-up and feedback. Brakes And Suspension The brakes feel smooth and balanced, bringing the car to a controlled and issue free stop. The suspension is smooth, comfortable, and compliant. The car handles beautifully and presents no odd road behavior or noises. Tires The DOT date codes appear to show 2017, but the tires remain in excellent condition with solid side walls and plenty of tread. 1979 Porsche 928 LBI Limited 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 If someone described a car as a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured in Germany, the obvious conclusion would always be Porsche. Then, in 1977 the unthinkable happened in Stuttgart. The engine was moved to the front, two more cylinders were added, arranged in a V-formation, and for the first time since 1948 the little car company from Gmund, Austria had a true GT car for the masses: the 928. This new step forward for Porsche did not come without hurdles, but it easily solidified their ability to meet market demands and produce anything they set their minds to. The technical specifications of the 928 are interesting. As the goal was to create a Luxury GT car to (at the time) hypothetically replace the famed 911, the car needed solid attributes of previously successful V8-powered cars as well as successful GT cars. All this, while still trying to meet new US safety and Emissions regulations. As a result, the 928 had similarities to that of the Chrysler 426 Hemi with 122MM Bore spacing, and early prototypes even had a 4-barrel carburetor for testing. When it debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, it was well received due to its comfort and power as a GT car.
