The Cultivated Collector’s 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, Chassis 12801, is a stunning example of the breed - finished in the beautiful color of Grigio Titano, is complemented by the interior which is wrapped in deep Blu Scuro leather. Having covered a mere 17,700 miles from new, 12801 benefits greatly from loving previous ownership, seeing consistent servicing and having just been serviced by marque specialist Jim McGee of Pocono Sports Car. This 550 Maranello is in exceptional condition throughout, a turn-key example of the ultimate modern Grand Tourer that is ready to enjoy on the open road. The early 1990’s saw Ferrari ignite a return to their roots by reintroducing and reviving the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that had been synonymous with the brand’s early success, yet absent from Ferrari's lineup since the 365 GTB/4 Daytona in the early 1970s. Riding on the heels of the electrifying 512M, the all new 550 Maranello would triumphantly carry the torch forward for V12 powered Ferrari cars. Exuding the brand’s deep and rich history, the 550 Maranello was proudly named after Ferrari’s home, the beautiful city of Maranello, Italy. Ferrari entrusted design to Pininfarina, with the project being led by Lorenzo Ramaciotti, the exterior featured a sleek and timeless design emphasized by clean flowing lines and muscular proportions akin to a classic GT car, while the interior exuded a stunning leather clad center console encapsulating both driver and passenger. Excellence was not skin deep, however. Nestled in the tubular steel space frame, the 550 Maranello boasted the best Ferrari had to offer in the form of the F133A, a front-mounted 5.5-liter V12 engine producing 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque, all being sent to the rear wheels through an engaging 6-speed manual transmission. The 550 Maranello boasted marvelous handling and dynamics, thanks to its balanced weight distribution and highly-tuned double wishbone suspension, providing occupants with a comfortable and luxurious interior with leather upholstery and modern amenities, placing it firmly as the class leader for long-distance driving and grand touring. During its production run from 1996 to 2001, an estimated 3,000 examples left the Maranello based manufacturing facilities. Over its 5 year lifespan, the 550 Maranello consistently received positive reviews from critics and enthusiasts, being widely regarded as a highly capable and desirable grand tourer, blending performance, style, and comfort in an exceptional Italian package. 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The S4s was the final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit and this magazine-featured, Calypso Red, low-mileage example was an original Press Car. The final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit, the S4s (the factory used a small 's') was born from Lotus customers telling the company that they wanted their Esprit to be as fast as the ultra-quick and raw Sport 300 but with the comfort and flexibility of the standard S4. 367 were built in total. This particular Lotus Esprit S4s was one of the original Press Cars and was featured in the April 1995 edition of Autocar magazine, being put through its paces by Andrew Frankel who was Road Test Editor at the time quoting that 'Britain only built one mid-engined supercar and you're looking at it', high praise indeed for a car at the time which Andrew described as one that 'deserves your respect'. Some 30 years later we suggest that remains true, with looks that still request your attention and turn heads wherever you go. Finished in Calypso Red with a Black Alcantara interior, this example was first registered to Lotus Cars Limited in March 1995 and retained by them until being transferred to its first private custodian, a Mr R McCarthy of Castle Coombe in April 1996. Remaining in outstanding condition throughout with an impressively low 25,290 miles and a large history file that outlines the intervening years, we suggest that this particular Lotus would be a welcome addition to any Lotus or sports car collection and as such we welcome and encourage your early inspection to confirm that all your requirements are fulfilled. It's also pleasing to note that the original, magazine-featured registration number, M181 BEX, remains assigned, underlining the car's history and lineage. 1995 Lotus Esprit S4s Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Aston Martin, the company now known for building some of the UK’s sleekest sports cars for consumers and spies alike, was founded in 1913 with the intention of selling Singer vehicles and repairing GWK and Calthorpe models. Founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford created the first car badged as an Aston Martin when they fit a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine into a 1908 Isotta Fraschini. Following a brief pause caused by the First World War, the company produced a few race cars and consumer cars before facing financial trouble in 1924 and selling their assets to Dorothea Mary Roby Thorpe, wife of Godfrey Benson, 1st Baron of Charnwood. Bill Renwick and Augustus Bertelli joined Dorothea and began producing racing and passenger cars from 1926 to 1937 before the Second World War once more paused production. In 1947, English industrialist David Brown became Aston Martin’s latest owner after purchasing it for £20,500 from an ad in The Times. Thus began the production of the hailed DB series of sports cars. The DB1, based on the Atom prototype, sold only 15 units from 1948 to 1950 before being replaced by the DB2. Being a more advanced and refined unit, the DB2 sold 411 examples from 1950 to 1953 in multiple body configurations. It, too, was replaced in 1951 with the racing-only DB3 and the grand touring DB2/4 Mark I and II in 1953 and 1955, respectively. In 1957, the Aston Martin DB Mark III was introduced as a successor to the DB2/4 Mark II despite never officially being called the DB 2/4 Mark III. The car was redesigned by Polish engineer Tadek Marek and used an evolved version of the DB2/4 Mark II’s Lagonda straight-6 engine. The standard, twin SU carburetor-powered engine produced 162 hp, although an optional dual exhaust raised that number. A mid-level “DBD” trim level with triple SU 1.75″ carbs and dual exhaust produced 180 hp and was fitted to 47 cars. In contrast, a high-output “DBB” trim featured triple twin-choke Weber 35 DCO 3 carbs, special long-duration camshafts, high compression 8.6:1 pistons, and the dual-exhaust system was rated at 195 hp but was ordered on only 10 cars. All engines were backed by a four-speed manual or an optional automatic transmission. The DB 2/4 Mark III came standard with Girling disc brakes after the first 100 examples. This was also the first model to come equipped with the Bert Thickpenny-designed front grille, which would become a staple of all future Aston Martins. The car could be had as either a drophead or fixed-head coupé or a hatchback. Only 551 examples of the Mark III were produced in the two-year production run, with only 83 of them being in left-hand drive configuration. Thanks to their low production numbers and timeless good looks, the DB 2/4 Mark III has seen strong collectability over the years. They remain an important and storied portion of Aston Martin’s history, and their importance is backed by the strong pricing we still see them bring in what seems to be an increasingly modern collectible market landscape. As with any early British sports car, restoration on these can become a pocket-draining expense very quickly, so finding one that has already been properly restored, with correct and careful ownership to ensure long-term useability, is paramount. This particular example is 1-of-83 LHD units to leave the factory. Chassis # AM/300/3/1672, was built in September of 1958 and dispatched to Charles H. Hornburg Jnr Inc. of Los Angeles, CA in January of 1959 as per the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust records. The car wore a Satin Bronze exterior with an Off-White interior, Firestone Super Sports whitewall tires, and the optional fully chromed wheels. It was delivered to its first owner, Mr. Saul Pollack of Los Angeles, CA, in April 1959. Mr. Pollack was the owner of the Waverly Mansion, president of Karl’s Shoe Stores, and brother-in-law to Mr. Harry Karl, Debbie Reynolds’s second husband and adoptive father of Todd and Carrie Fisher. Mr. Pollack married Mr. Karl’s sister, Sarah. The Aston Martin made its way back to the UK to its second owner in October of 1991. The car was registered in Lancaster, Lancashire, with the license plate VSK 659. In March of 1992, it was sold to its third owner from Hayward Heath, also in the UK, and once again to its fourth owner in April of 1993. In 2002, the car traveled overseas once more to its fifth owner, Baron Paul van der Straten Waillet, in Belgium, where it adopted the license plate VDY 993. The service records on file start around 2006 under Mr. Van der Straten Waillet’s ownership, showcasing the care and attention he put into keeping this British wonder on the road. A major service in September of 2007 at Twin Cam (now Marreyt Classic Cars) in Aalst gave this Aston a new 8.6:1 83mm piston set, cylinder liners, head gasket, water pump, radiator, and other new parts. A return visit in April of 2011 resulted in a new power steering rack. Later, in September 2013, the headlights, mirrors, as well as both horns were replaced with units from RetroClassic Car Parts Ltd. In October 2013, the Aston was sold to its sixth and most current owner. Under their ownership, the extensive catalog of service records continued to expand exponentially. In November of that same year, a new horn button assembly and bonnet lamp mount were purchased from Kevin Kay Aston Parts in Redding, CA. In December, the original Aston Martin “Instruction Book” was masterfully restored by Ann-Marie Miller ACR in London for a total cost of £615.50 in an effort to preserve it for decades to come. In August 2014, the car was stripped and repainted in Fern Green by Frankie’s Auto Paintwork, a color it still wears today. NOS Lucas Le Mans headlights were bought in January 2016 from Rogers Motors in Shutesbury, MA. The headliner and trunk panels were replaced with new, factory-type material in September 2016 by Harry Fraser Vehicle in Bicester, UK. From May to June of 2017, the windshield wiper assembly was restored by Leydon Restorations LLC in Lahaska, PA, with special attention given to repairing the wiper park mechanism. Lastly, in March of 2021, the clutch was replaced by Automotive Restorations, Inc. in Stratford, CT. Being a fairly early Aston Martin makes this DB 2/4 Mark III a rare example of the company’s beginnings. It represents a turning point in the British marque’s story from a largely boutique maker to a more household name in sports and racing cars. Described as “one of the world’s outstanding sports models” by The Autocar magazine, this model was also the first James Bond Aston Martin, being featured in the 1959 “Goldfinger” novel as the “DB III.” This particular example is, without a doubt, one of the nicest to hit the market. Benefitting from decades of meticulous care dating back to its original owner, this Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark III is as beautiful as it is rare, with only 83 examples being originally produced in LHD configuration. Its previous prestigious owners, along with the countries it has traveled to, give this car a unique pedigree that sets it apart from others in the crowd and would instantly complement any existing car collection. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original factory manuals, the original factory build sheet, an original dealer brochure, the BMIHT Certificate, the car’s FIVA Identity Card, a period article about the model, two Concours awards, as well as the service and ownership records on file. EXTERIOR Body And Paint Quite fitting in this shade of green, this DB2/5 MKIII shows well overall. It has consistent panel gaps, is straight down the sides, and the paint has a deep luster. The body has clearly been prepped well in terms of how straight the panels are, with no major issues standing out. However, we can classify the presentation of the paint today as good driver quality as it is revealing its age in a few spots. While it would not prevent the car from proudly being shown or driven regularly, there are some inconsistencies as listed below and photoed. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be the correct factory TriPlex glass, with the exception of the passenger vent window which has no markings. The condition of the glass is acceptable, considering the overall age. The windscreen has some light peppering, and the side glass shows a light scratch here or there, with the hatch glass showing two minor pencil-point-sized chips. The trim is all present and appears to have been well looked after, with all emblems and badges present, including some period additions. The door handles and window chrome are the only areas where there are some obvious signs of age, as photographed. Overall not worth addressing for those intending to drive rather than show. Wheels The wire wheels are consistent with the idea of a driver-quality car. They are showing some age in the way of chrome fade and scratching and other such flaws as photographed. Again, good for driving, but they should see attention if the intention is to competitively show this Aston Martin. Notable Flaws The base of the driver's side A-Pillar shows some texture inconsistency in the paint and a crack in the paint. On the bonnet near the same spot is a small area of paint lifting and a small area of solvent popping. The base of the passenger A-Pillar also shows a small bubble and a crack. The passenger door top shows a bubble and a crack as well. Further inspection will show a handful of small pencil point sized knicks in the paint throughout, commensurate with the use this car did see during its last ownership. The fog lights also have some chrome that is showing their age. Please review the photos in detail to see these flaws and any other flaws that may have been captured. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is perfectly contrasted with the exterior color with a rich natural leather presentation. The Green piping and aging that is present give it an inviting and genuine feel. The interior is, overall, excellent and was clearly restored all at the same time many years ago to a high standard. There was careful attention paid to elements of correctness, and the quality of craftsmanship is apparent. The door jams are nicely and correctly tended to with newer chrome and rubber as is correct. The dash is the proper finish, as are the fascia, kick panels, mats, and tunnels. All are in excellent condition, with perhaps some patina. The headliner and visors are all nicely refinished, and overall, the interior is impressive right down to the correct original mat in the trunk. There are some areas to mention that could see attention, though not totally necessary. The gauge bezels for the RPM and MPH gauges do have chrome that is failing, and there is some paint worn off on the steering column adjuster as well as some touch-up on the dash where it meets the steering column. Otherwise, this is a well-appointed and well-cared-for interior that has seen a proper refurbishment some years ago. Functionality And Accessories Our testing of the various knobs, pulls, and switches in the car revealed that it is indeed in correct working order throughout. Lighting, windshield wipers, heater motor, etc… all appeared to be in correct working order with no issues to note. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay of this car shows that it has received proper care from knowledgeable custodians and technicians. There was particular attention paid to correctness in the engine bay. Between the various coatings, clamps, correct style wires, stickers, and a general not-to-polished presentation that alludes to how it may have left the factory. A few incorrect items that are minor stand out, such as the new fuel line which we had replaced for safety. One extra spark plug is a little rusty, and the battery is not a correct replica. An extra correct style battery is included along with the original fuel line. Trunk Area The trunk area is tidy; removing the protective mat reveals the original-style mat, albeit cracked from age and under that clean and shiny green paint. Digging deeper, we can access the spare wheel handle, which has been correctly restored to exactly as it left the factory, utilizing a period-correct military-grade fabric with a wooden handle to allow the spare to drop. Underside The underside is very much representative of the excellent driver-quality example that this car is. It is solid, complete, and showing to be well serviced, but perhaps a little oily, greasy, and dirty here or there, as to be expected with a turn-key and reliable British Car. Please refer to the photos to have a closer look. Notable Flaws The engine bay light on the underside of the bonnet, while correct and present, does not currently light up. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong, makes strong oil pressure, and remains cool. It is a well-sorted example. Transmission The 4-speed transmission works as well as a 1958-designed transmission can, with no issues to note. It should be noted that the clutch in this car is brand new. Brakes And Suspension The steering and suspension feel responsive and as stiff as they were originally intended by Aston Martin in 1958. Overall, it feels well-serviced and in order. The brakes work well, with no pulling and a strong pedal. As always, it is our recommendation that this car be inspected by a mechanic by the new owner before rigorous use to ensure all systems are in order, as this car has not seen the regular use it was used to in the past two years. Tires The tires are the period-correct style Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00-16 92P’s on all four corners with date codes of 2014. Technically, they should see replacement, but there are no signs of cracking, and they are still supple to the touch. 1958 Aston Martin DB 2/4 MKIII 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 Aston Martin, the company now known for building some of the UK’s sleekest sports cars for consumers and spies alike, was founded in 1913 with the intention of selling Singer vehicles and repairing GWK and Calthorpe models. Founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford created the first car badged as an Aston Martin when they fit a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine into a 1908 Isotta Fraschini. Following a brief pause caused by the First World War, the company produced a few race cars and consumer cars before facing financial trouble in 1924 and selling their assets to Dorothea Mary Roby Thorpe, wife of Godfrey Benson, 1st Baron of Charnwood. Bill Renwick and Augustus Bertelli joined Dorothea and began producing racing and passenger cars from 1926 to 1937 before the Second World War once more paused production. In 1947, English industrialist David Brown became Aston Martin’s latest owner after purchasing it for £20,500 from an ad in The Times. Thus began the production of the hailed DB series of sports cars. The DB1, based on the Atom prototype, sold only 15 units from 1948 to 1950 before being replaced by the DB2. Being a more advanced and refined unit, the DB2 sold 411 examples from 1950 to 1953 in multiple body configurations. It, too, was replaced in 1951 with the racing-only DB3 and the grand touring DB2/4 Mark I and II in 1953 and 1955, respectively. In 1957, the Aston Martin DB Mark III was introduced as a successor to the DB2/4 Mark II despite never officially being called the DB 2/4 Mark III. The car was redesigned by Polish engineer Tadek Marek and used an evolved version of the DB2/4 Mark II’s Lagonda straight-6 engine. The standard, twin SU carburetor-powered engine produced 162 hp, although an optional dual exhaust raised that number. A mid-level “DBD” trim level with triple SU 1.75″ carbs and dual exhaust produced 180 hp and was fitted to 47 cars. In contrast, a high-output “DBB” trim featured triple twin-choke Weber 35 DCO 3 carbs, special long-duration camshafts, high compression 8.6:1 pistons, and the dual-exhaust system was rated at 195 hp but was ordered on only 10 cars. All engines were backed by a four-speed manual or an optional automatic transmission. The DB 2/4 Mark III came standard with Girling disc brakes after the first 100 examples. This was also the first model to come equipped with the Bert Thickpenny-designed front grille, which would become a staple of all future Aston Martins. The car could be had as either a drophead or fixed-head coupé or a hatchback. Only 551 examples of the Mark III were produced in the two-year production run, with only 83 of them being in left-hand drive configuration. Thanks to their low production numbers and timeless good looks, the DB 2/4 Mark III has seen strong collectability over the years. They remain an important and storied portion of Aston Martin’s history, and their importance is backed by the strong pricing we still see them bring in what seems to be an increasingly modern collectible market landscape. As with any early British sports car, restoration on these can become a pocket-draining expense very quickly, so finding one that has already been properly restored, with correct and careful ownership to ensure long-term useability, is paramount. This particular example is 1-of-83 LHD units to leave the factory. Chassis # AM/300/3/1672, was built in September of 1958 and dispatched to Charles H. Hornburg Jnr Inc. of Los Angeles, CA in January of 1959 as per the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust records. The car wore a Satin Bronze exterior with an Off-White interior, Firestone Super Sports whitewall tires, and the optional fully chromed wheels. It was delivered to its first owner, Mr. Saul Pollack of Los Angeles, CA, in April 1959. Mr. Pollack was the owner of the Waverly Mansion, president of Karl’s Shoe Stores, and brother-in-law to Mr. Harry Karl, Debbie Reynolds’s second husband and adoptive father of Todd and Carrie Fisher. Mr. Pollack married Mr. Karl’s sister, Sarah. The Aston Martin made its way back to the UK to its second owner in October of 1991. The car was registered in Lancaster, Lancashire, with the license plate VSK 659. In March of 1992, it was sold to its third owner from Hayward Heath, also in the UK, and once again to its fourth owner in April of 1993. In 2002, the car traveled overseas once more to its fifth owner, Baron Paul van der Straten Waillet, in Belgium, where it adopted the license plate VDY 993. The service records on file start around 2006 under Mr. Van der Straten Waillet’s ownership, showcasing the care and attention he put into keeping this British wonder on the road. A major service in September of 2007 at Twin Cam (now Marreyt Classic Cars) in Aalst gave this Aston a new 8.6:1 83mm piston set, cylinder liners, head gasket, water pump, radiator, and other new parts. A return visit in April of 2011 resulted in a new power steering rack. Later, in September 2013, the headlights, mirrors, as well as both horns were replaced with units from RetroClassic Car Parts Ltd. In October 2013, the Aston was sold to its sixth and most current owner. Under their ownership, the extensive catalog of service records continued to expand exponentially. In November of that same year, a new horn button assembly and bonnet lamp mount were purchased from Kevin Kay Aston Parts in Redding, CA. In December, the original Aston Martin “Instruction Book” was masterfully restored by Ann-Marie Miller ACR in London for a total cost of £615.50 in an effort to preserve it for decades to come. In August 2014, the car was stripped and repainted in Fern Green by Frankie’s Auto Paintwork, a color it still wears today. NOS Lucas Le Mans headlights were bought in January 2016 from Rogers Motors in Shutesbury, MA. The headliner and trunk panels were replaced with new, factory-type material in September 2016 by Harry Fraser Vehicle in Bicester, UK. From May to June of 2017, the windshield wiper assembly was restored by Leydon Restorations LLC in Lahaska, PA, with special attention given to repairing the wiper park mechanism. Lastly, in March of 2021, the clutch was replaced by Automotive Restorations, Inc. in Stratford, CT. Being a fairly early Aston Martin makes this DB 2/4 Mark III a rare example of the company’s beginnings. It represents a turning point in the British marque’s story from a largely boutique maker to a more household name in sports and racing cars. Described as “one of the world’s outstanding sports models” by The Autocar magazine, this model was also the first James Bond Aston Martin, being featured in the 1959 “Goldfinger” novel as the “DB III.” This particular example is, without a doubt, one of the nicest to hit the market. Benefitting from decades of meticulous care dating back to its original owner, this Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark III is as beautiful as it is rare, with only 83 examples being originally produced in LHD configuration. Its previous prestigious owners, along with the countries it has traveled to, give this car a unique pedigree that sets it apart from others in the crowd and would instantly complement any existing car collection. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original factory manuals, the original factory build sheet, an original dealer brochure, the BMIHT Certificate, the car’s FIVA Identity Card, a period article about the model, two Concours awards, as well as the service and ownership records on file. EXTERIOR Body And Paint Quite fitting in this shade of green, this DB2/5 MKIII shows well overall. It has consistent panel gaps, is straight down the sides, and the paint has a deep luster. The body has clearly been prepped well in terms of how straight the panels are, with no major issues standing out. However, we can classify the presentation of the paint today as good driver quality as it is revealing its age in a few spots. While it would not prevent the car from proudly being shown or driven regularly, there are some inconsistencies as listed below and photoed. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be the correct factory TriPlex glass, with the exception of the passenger vent window which has no markings. The condition of the glass is acceptable, considering the overall age. The windscreen has some light peppering, and the side glass shows a light scratch here or there, with the hatch glass showing two minor pencil-point-sized chips. The trim is all present and appears to have been well looked after, with all emblems and badges present, including some period additions. The door handles and window chrome are the only areas where there are some obvious signs of age, as photographed. Overall not worth addressing for those intending to drive rather than show. Wheels The wire wheels are consistent with the idea of a driver-quality car. They are showing some age in the way of chrome fade and scratching and other such flaws as photographed. Again, good for driving, but they should see attention if the intention is to competitively show this Aston Martin. Notable Flaws The base of the driver's side A-Pillar shows some texture inconsistency in the paint and a crack in the paint. On the bonnet near the same spot is a small area of paint lifting and a small area of solvent popping. The base of the passenger A-Pillar also shows a small bubble and a crack. The passenger door top shows a bubble and a crack as well. Further inspection will show a handful of small pencil point sized knicks in the paint throughout, commensurate with the use this car did see during its last ownership. The fog lights also have some chrome that is showing their age. Please review the photos in detail to see these flaws and any other flaws that may have been captured. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is perfectly contrasted with the exterior color with a rich natural leather presentation. The Green piping and aging that is present give it an inviting and genuine feel. The interior is, overall, excellent and was clearly restored all at the same time many years ago to a high standard. There was careful attention paid to elements of correctness, and the quality of craftsmanship is apparent. The door jams are nicely and correctly tended to with newer chrome and rubber as is correct. The dash is the proper finish, as are the fascia, kick panels, mats, and tunnels. All are in excellent condition, with perhaps some patina. The headliner and visors are all nicely refinished, and overall, the interior is impressive right down to the correct original mat in the trunk. There are some areas to mention that could see attention, though not totally necessary. The gauge bezels for the RPM and MPH gauges do have chrome that is failing, and there is some paint worn off on the steering column adjuster as well as some touch-up on the dash where it meets the steering column. Otherwise, this is a well-appointed and well-cared-for interior that has seen a proper refurbishment some years ago. Functionality And Accessories Our testing of the various knobs, pulls, and switches in the car revealed that it is indeed in correct working order throughout. Lighting, windshield wipers, heater motor, etc… all appeared to be in correct working order with no issues to note. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay of this car shows that it has received proper care from knowledgeable custodians and technicians. There was particular attention paid to correctness in the engine bay. Between the various coatings, clamps, correct style wires, stickers, and a general not-to-polished presentation that alludes to how it may have left the factory. A few incorrect items that are minor stand out, such as the new fuel line which we had replaced for safety. One extra spark plug is a little rusty, and the battery is not a correct replica. An extra correct style battery is included along with the original fuel line. Trunk Area The trunk area is tidy; removing the protective mat reveals the original-style mat, albeit cracked from age and under that clean and shiny green paint. Digging deeper, we can access the spare wheel handle, which has been correctly restored to exactly as it left the factory, utilizing a period-correct military-grade fabric with a wooden handle to allow the spare to drop. Underside The underside is very much representative of the excellent driver-quality example that this car is. It is solid, complete, and showing to be well serviced, but perhaps a little oily, greasy, and dirty here or there, as to be expected with a turn-key and reliable British Car. Please refer to the photos to have a closer look. Notable Flaws The engine bay light on the underside of the bonnet, while correct and present, does not currently light up. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong, makes strong oil pressure, and remains cool. It is a well-sorted example. Transmission The 4-speed transmission works as well as a 1958-designed transmission can, with no issues to note. It should be noted that the clutch in this car is brand new. Brakes And Suspension The steering and suspension feel responsive and as stiff as they were originally intended by Aston Martin in 1958. Overall, it feels well-serviced and in order. The brakes work well, with no pulling and a strong pedal. As always, it is our recommendation that this car be inspected by a mechanic by the new owner before rigorous use to ensure all systems are in order, as this car has not seen the regular use it was used to in the past two years. Tires The tires are the period-correct style Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00-16 92P’s on all four corners with date codes of 2014. Technically, they should see replacement, but there are no signs of cracking, and they are still supple to the touch.

To ensure that the FIA motorsport governing body would homologate its new 3-litre RSR race car for the 1974 season, Porsche developed the road-going 911 Carrera RS 3.0. Shortly after completing some 1,580 examples of the fabled RS 2.7, the Stuttgart factory produced just 55 units of its brawnier successor. Not only were they far scarcer, and over twice the price, but the model was a true homologation special brimmed with technology developed directly for the track. The engine was a detuned RSR motor featuring a Silumin crankcase, single-plug ignition, and a road-legal exhaust system. Meanwhile, the four-piston callipers and drilled discs were lifted directly from the all-conquering, 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning 917 sportscar. The prominent new front air dam helped keep brake temperatures under control while also feeding the oil cooler for the flat-six, which was rated at 230 horsepower. Helping achieve a remarkable weight of only 900 kilograms, the Carrera RS 3.0 was fitted with lightened glass, had all sound deadening removed, and used composite bonnet and engine cover panels. Given the clear link to Porsche’s thoroughbred racers, the example offered here appropriately boasts competition pedigree. Finished in Grand Prix White, this Carrera RS 3.0 was sold new in Stuttgart on 10 January 1974 and supplied to Mr Byker of Düsseldorf. The following year, it was acquired by keen Italian clubman racer Antonino Guagliardo. In July 1975, having found a faster replacement for his Lancia Fulvia and 911 S, Mr Guagliardo fielded the car in the Targa Florio. Entered by Cefalù Corse with second driver Libero Marchiolo, it was resplendent in its Grand Prix White but featured red bumpers. Unfortunately, the Porsche failed to finish. While Mr Guagliardo eventually switched to forced induction in the form of a Porsche 930, he retained the Carrera RS 3.0 for three decades. The car was then sold to France before, in 2014, it was acquired by a Belgian Porsche dealer. It joined The Stuttgart Legends Collection in January 2015. Presented in its factory colour and wearing dished wheels, a Carrera stripe, and Porsche script all finished in gold, this Carrera RS 3.0 benefits from a February 2025 inspection by marque expert Andy Prill (available to view on file). He noted the original chassis stamping and production number, plus several other authentic 3.0 RS features such as the chassis reinforcements and double-skin rear crossmember. While the current engine has been built around a magnesium crankcase, this car is supplied with its matching-numbers original Silumin crankcase. Please note that this Porsche will require mechanical recommissioning prior to driving following a period of static display. Among the most scarce and sought-after of all road-going 911s, this Carrera RS 3.0 boasts period competition history in the Targa Florio and known ownership from new. The opportunity to acquire such a revered homologation special is not to be missed. 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

David Brown resigned himself to the chronic defeats of his cars in races against an overwhelming Italian competition. As a result, the production has, since the DB5, been clearly oriented towards Grand Tourism. The secret agent 007 takes care of the promotion of the car by moving it from casino to casino, while the circuits are empty of their Aston Martins. Here is a nice surprise during the 1965 London Motor Show with the presentation of the new Aston-Martin DB6. Hard to succeed the mythical DB5? Finally, after having rejected proposals from the Touring coachbuilder, David Brown wanted the internal team to take charge of developing the design that has made the firm successful since the DB4. And since we're dealing with a new model, it's an opportunity to correct certain criticisms and widen the circle of fans and clients. The in-house designers had to come up with a solution to provide not only more aerodynamic support at high speed, but also more room to give in to the temptation of the 2+2 concept. The wheelbase is thus lengthened by 9.5 cm for better stability. As for the rest, the front end has a strong family resemblance with the wide front grille, the covered headlights and the air intake on the hood to bring fresh air to the engine. The stern is new with a coupe-like concept and a spoiler. From the side, the new proportions seem more obvious, even if Newport Pagnell remains faithful to the stylistic tics of the previous generations: chrome is very present, air intakes in the front fenders like gills and wheels with spokes and Rudge hubs. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage is no different from its more "modest" siblings, since it's under the hood that everything happens... When an Aston-Martin is named "Vantage", the informed enthusiast knows that the engine is the most powerful in the range. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage is no exception... The Aston inline six is a prime piece of equipment, always placed in the front longitudinal position. The work of Polish-born engineer Tadek Marek, it boasts a displacement of 3,995 cm3 and a high level of technical refinement that its transalpine rivals can envy. Made entirely of light alloy, this engine has super-square dimensions with a bore of 96 mm and a stroke of 92 mm. Its chrome molybdenum steel crankshaft rotates on seven bearings and benefits in this Vantage variant from static and dynamic balancing as well as the rest of the mobile equipment. The top engine is topped by a double overhead camshaft cylinder head and two valves per cylinder inclined at 80°. The whole unit is driven by a double chain. To increase the engine's power from 282 hp to 325 hp at 5,750 rpm, Tadek Marek used three Weber 45 DCO double-barrel horizontal carburetors (instead of the SU carburetors of the standard version). Torque also increases to 393 Nm at 4,500 rpm. The transmission is provided by a ZF manual gearbox with 5 gears, all synchronized, completed by a self-locking differential on the rear axle to guarantee maximum traction and mobility at the stern. Note that the fourth gear is direct drive, while the fifth gear is overdrive. If the Touring Superleggera technique has been taken over, it is however reviewed and adapted by Aston-Martin, the DB6 thus marking its difference with the DB4 and DB5. It is now on a platform chassis that is fixed the body panels all in aluminum around a structure of small tubes. The front axle is composed of independent wheels with superposed triangles and anti-roll bar. The rear is more conservative with a rigid axle guided by struts and laterally by Watt's parallelograms. Among the new features, we will appreciate the rear shock absorbers that allow four different settings to favor either road holding or occupant comfort. A coherent technical choice that clearly indicates Aston-Martin's Grand Touring strategy rather than pure sport, even for this Vantage variant. The rack-and-pinion steering is unassisted, which is noticeable when maneuvering at low speeds. Braking is done by four full Girling discs assisted by two brake servos. The spoke wheels with Rudge hubs are shod with 6.75×15 tires (Avon brand ex-factory). Despite the Superleggera technology, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage weighs a substantial 1.6 tons. On the road, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage confirms its ease of handling on long curves and its reassuring stability at high speeds. But as soon as the road gets tighter, and the curves sharper, the Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage has to confine itself to a role in which it excels: the luxury Grand Touring. In fact, once the door is opened, we find with happiness the luxurious and tasteful presentation of Newport Pagnell. Black dashboard, battery of Smiths counters, complete and luxurious standard equipment, without being innovative, and especially the rear seats which are unprecedented at Aston-Martin and which allow to take children on a trip, especially since the trunk is also more consequent. For adults, the reduced headroom of the rear seats is very acceptable, as we still remember this Paris - Goodwood a few years ago. Aston-Martin gives its DB6 more tone in the form of this Vantage. It does not deviate from the traditions of discretion and elegance, and it is impossible to distinguish an Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage from a standard version on the outside. At the wheel, on the other hand, the revival of the inline 6 is very clear with a racier character, despite a discreet sound. The rear seats are well digested aesthetically with a line, admittedly thicker and less racy, but still as attractive and which does not neglect the practical aspects. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage can count on an unexpected but welcome versatility in a market segment that often favors hedonistic pleasure. The Grand Touring spirit is now a family affair. This is good news for fathers. The DB6 is much more than a simple evolution of the DB5.

Completed at the factory in December of 1967, this 275 GTB/4 was born in the colour scheme it retains to this day; Rosso over Nero. The car was sold to its first owner the following month, January 1969 to an American resident. The car would be kept in Italy and a such, was registered on the Italian Tourist registration plates ‘EE 2600’, EE standing for Escursionisti Esteri. The 275 received its first service at the factory on the 13th February 1968 in preparation for a driving tour that would see the car cover 1,400 miles in just 10 days. The 275 returned to the factory following the drive to be checked over and the mileage was noted at 2,288 miles. In 1969, the 4 cam was imported to the USA through Luigi Chinetti Motors of Greenwich Connecticut, likely with the first keeper. The car remained in the USA for some time, moving to the West Coast and taking residence in Los Angeles. Sourced from the sunnier climes of Los Angeles, the car was purchased in 1980 by Ferrari connoisseurs Arnold & Werner Meier of Zurich, Switzerland. The Meier’s would retain the 275 for 23 years as part of a significant collection. At the time of purchase, Edi Wyss Engineering carried out an overhaul of the car as well as preparing the car for light competition use. Awarded FIA papers on 9th April of 1998, the 275 would compete on the Tour Auto in France just 5 days later. A fan of the event, the Meier’s would alternate between cars, but the 275 would prove a trusty steed on two further occasions, as well as taking part on the 58th Tour Historique Automobile and GP Historique of Monaco in the Millenium year. In 2003 the car was purchased by veteran British racing driver, predominantly at the hands of BMWs, and subsequent BMW dealership founder Frank Sytner. Sytner would retain the car for just over a year. In 2004, DK Engineering handled the sale of the 275 GTB/4 to its current custodian. Residing within the care of its current custodian for 20 years, maintenance and servicing has been carried out exclusively by local marque specialists Rardley Motors. Today the 275 presents wonderfully and is ready to be used and enjoyed by its next custodian. The car will pass through our workshops as a part of the sale. 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 D.K.

13,917 original miles 25 years of California ownership with one owner, maintained at Beverly Hills Porsche Original Speed Yellow paint finish over full black leather interior 3 total owners since new, clean CarFax report Major $25,000 service performed in 2021 6-speed manual transmission, 3.6-liter 408 horsepower twin-turbo flat six engine The last and most refined of the air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbos The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995 as a 1996, continued to hold the torch of the most powerful 911 variant while continuing to improve the breed as a whole. Among the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled viscous coupling all-wheel drive system—something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the performance of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges—resided the 3.6 liter flat six fed by twin KKK K16 turbos, each featuring integrated waste gates and two air-to-air intercoolers. Combined with larger brakes, wider tires, wide body fender arches, and specially designed 'Technologie-Rad' cast alloy wheels with hollow spokes, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels tearing into the pavement and 408 horsepower on tap, 0-60 mph came in an impressive (even by today’s standards) 3.7 seconds, 100mph ticked by in 5.7 seconds, and the forward progression continued until the speedometer had crossed 180mph. Beyond just going fast in a straight line though, the car could pull up to 1.00g on the skid pad and haul to a stop from 60mph in just 111 feet. In reviewing the 993 Turbo in June of 1995, Motor Trend magazine proclaimed, "To beat this Stuttgart screamer into submission requires a force no less wieldy than the million-dollar 627-horsepower V-12 McLaren F1." This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo was purchased by its first owner in August of 1995 in Los Angeles, California. Spec’d in Speed Yellow over black leather interior, this Porsche 911 Turbo was optioned with a full leather interior, cruise control, lumbar support on both driver and passenger seats, and a sunroof. This California owner would go on to own the 911 Turbo for over 25 years, with a clear CarFax reporting that they took their prized possession to Beverly Hills Porsche for regular and consistent servicing. In March 2021 the 911 Turbo was purchased by a meticulous collector who sent the car immediately to ParkHaus1 in Miami, Florida. During its stay at their facility, the Porsche was mechanically gone through to address its 25 years of low miles, including replacing engine mounts, valve cover and timing chain gaskets, rebuilding the turbos, new tires, new suspension, installed a Porsche Classic radio, and replacing various trim components to bring the car back to as if it was brand new. Overall, the owner spent almost $27,000 on his quest to make this 911 Turbo a perfect time capsule. In April 2023 it was acquired shortly by a new owner in Norwich, Vermont, before it arrived at Canepa in May of 2023. Each and every collector car that comes to Canepa is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked and serviced as necessary. They also receive an award-winning concours-level detailing, a thorough cleaning of each and every surface that ensures that every car is a sight to behold. Finishing off with a foam-pad-only polish to enhance the paint finish, each and every car is a perfect example and a personification of Bruce Canepa’s impeccable attention to detail. Its original Speed Yellow paint finish was enhanced which now produces a deep luster, increasing the paint’s clarity and making the color pop. Canepa performed a light amount of mechanical adjustment, completing what is now a fantastic 13,917 original mile example of a 993 Turbo. Porsche’s 993 Turbo generation saw itself become the most refined air-cooled sports car that Porsche had ever made. With its superior build quality, stupendous performance, and dynamic driving experience, it was the perfect sports car for every occasion. Comfortable for daily driving and enough performance to leave others in the dust, this duality of the 911 Turbo is what earned its status as one of the best sports cars, bar none. With this Speed Yellow Turbo in time-capsule condition with low original miles, it is now ready to be enjoyed by another owner to experience for either the first time or confirm again why so many consider this generation of the 911 Turbo to be the best, bar none. 1996 Porsche 993 Turbo Canepa 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 13,917 original miles 25 years of California ownership with one owner, maintained at Beverly Hills Porsche Original Speed Yellow paint finish over full black leather interior 3 total owners since new, clean CarFax report Major $25,000 service performed in 2021 6-speed manual transmission, 3.6-liter 408 horsepower twin-turbo flat six engine The last and most refined of the air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbos The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995 as a 1996, continued to hold the torch of the most powerful 911 variant while continuing to improve the breed as a whole. Among the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled viscous coupling all-wheel drive system—something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the performance of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges—resided the 3.6 liter flat six fed by twin KKK K16 turbos, each featuring integrated waste gates and two air-to-air intercoolers. Combined with larger brakes, wider tires, wide body fender arches, and specially designed 'Technologie-Rad' cast alloy wheels with hollow spokes, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels tearing into the pavement and 408 horsepower on tap, 0-60 mph came in an impressive (even by today’s standards) 3.7 seconds, 100mph ticked by in 5.7 seconds, and the forward progression continued until the speedometer had crossed 180mph. Beyond just going fast in a straight line though, the car could pull up to 1.00g on the skid pad and haul to a stop from 60mph in just 111 feet. In reviewing the 993 Turbo in June of 1995, Motor Trend magazine proclaimed, "To beat this Stuttgart screamer into submission requires a force no less wieldy than the million-dollar 627-horsepower V-12 McLaren F1." This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo was purchased by its first owner in August of 1995 in Los Angeles, California. Spec’d in Speed Yellow over black leather interior, this Porsche 911 Turbo was optioned with a full leather interior, cruise control, lumbar support on both driver and passenger seats, and a sunroof. This California owner would go on to own the 911 Turbo for over 25 years, with a clear CarFax reporting that they took their prized possession to Beverly Hills Porsche for regular and consistent servicing. In March 2021 the 911 Turbo was purchased by a meticulous collector who sent the car immediately to ParkHaus1 in Miami, Florida. During its stay at their facility, the Porsche was mechanically gone through to address its 25 years of low miles, including replacing engine mounts, valve cover and timing chain gaskets, rebuilding the turbos, new tires, new suspension, installed a Porsche Classic radio, and replacing various trim components to bring the car back to as if it was brand new. Overall, the owner spent almost $27,000 on his quest to make this 911 Turbo a perfect time capsule. In April 2023 it was acquired shortly by a new owner in Norwich, Vermont, before it arrived at Canepa in May of 2023. Each and every collector car that comes to Canepa is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked and serviced as necessary. They also receive an award-winning concours-level detailing, a thorough cleaning of each and every surface that ensures that every car is a sight to behold. Finishing off with a foam-pad-only polish to enhance the paint finish, each and every car is a perfect example and a personification of Bruce Canepa’s impeccable attention to detail. Its original Speed Yellow paint finish was enhanced which now produces a deep luster, increasing the paint’s clarity and making the color pop. Canepa performed a light amount of mechanical adjustment, completing what is now a fantastic 13,917 original mile example of a 993 Turbo. Porsche’s 993 Turbo generation saw itself become the most refined air-cooled sports car that Porsche had ever made. With its superior build quality, stupendous performance, and dynamic driving experience, it was the perfect sports car for every occasion. Comfortable for daily driving and enough performance to leave others in the dust, this duality of the 911 Turbo is what earned its status as one of the best sports cars, bar none. With this Speed Yellow Turbo in time-capsule condition with low original miles, it is now ready to be enjoyed by another owner to experience for either the first time or confirm again why so many consider this generation of the 911 Turbo to be the best, bar none.

The 1960s are regarded by many as the heyday of motor racing—a time when storied drivers from all over the globe were household names, piloting some of the most beautiful machines ever built by the most famous automotive marques in the world. In the most glamorous, yet grueling, endurance race of the era, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ferrari represented the force to be reckoned with. The race’s 1965 running marked Ferrari’s sixth consecutive win, with Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt behind the wheel of Luigi Chinetti’s NART entry Ferrari 250 LM, chassis number 5893. Even more impressive was the marque’s 1-2-3 finish, with privateer entry P. Dumay’s Ferrari 250 LM and Ecurie Francorchamps’ Ferrari 275 GTB rounding out the podium. The race was an exciting one, but competition from Ford’s GT40 program was once again lacking. The GT40 was well represented in 1965 with six entrants, but frustratingly, for a second year in a row, none were able to finish the race. A positive takeaway from 1965 for Ford was Phil Hill achieving the fastest lap in practice and the race itself behind the wheel of Shelby American’s #2 car, the 427-cubic-inch V-8-powered GT40X. The Mk I design was showing its age, updates were necessary to make the car more competitive, and more importantly, reliable. ENTER THE Mk II—AND HOLMAN-MOODY Having used the big-block NASCAR 427 V-8 in 1965 with the GT40X, it quickly became evident that a larger engine was the solution to many of the GT40’s problems. Following Le Mans in 1965, Ford Advanced Vehicles (FAV) shipped unfinished GT40s to Shelby American, which team members from Holman-Moody, Alan Mann, and Shelby American assembled to create the GT40 Mk II. Together, they modified the GT40 to accept the bigger NASCAR 427 engine with modifications for endurance racing. With the bigger engines came the need for more cooling, as well as revised aerodynamics to keep the car planted to the track. “Ram air” intakes were added to the shoulders, just in front of the rear wheels, in addition to brake cooling intakes on the rear deck, which afforded the new Mk II with all the cooling power it needed. The Mk II nose received a redesign as well, ensuring the new GT40 stayed glued to the track. Ford also had Holman-Moody on its side for the GT40 racing program for 1966, in addition to Shelby American. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based Holman-Moody was already a proven race shop when they were asked by Leo Beebe to get involved in the program in fall 1965. Holman-Moody had built a name in racecar construction and auto racing dating back to the 1950s. No stranger to success, in 1965 the Holman-Moody-prepped Fords won an impressive 48 of the 55 NASCAR Grand National Series races that season. Ford’s Beebe, then Director of Special Vehicles, felt the added experience to the GT40 program would be helpful, noting that Shelby was a good racing team—but Holman-Moody was effectively a racing factory with a bigger supporting cast. SEBRING 1966 This car, chassis number P/1032, was shipped to Shelby American on 5 November 1965. Delivered unfinished, the car arrived as an unpainted chassis with doors, sill panels, and facia, with screen and bulkhead glass and trim. Shelby American completed the car to Mk II specifications. P/1032 was painted white with a flat black nose and shipped to Florida. The car was to serve as a replacement for chassis GT/107 in the race program. A Holman-Moody entrant for the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring, P/1032 donned race #3 and was piloted by Walt Hansgen and Mark Donohue. Both hailing from New Jersey, Hansgen, then 46 years old, had nearly 20 years on Donohue. Hansgen had competed in two US Formula One Grands Prix and three NASCAR races, and he was a two-time Indianapolis 500 starter (1964 and 1965). But his real success had come in the SCCA, where he was a four-time National Champion in the C Modified class, competing in a Jaguar D-Type from 1956–1958 and a Lister Jaguar in 1959. Hansgen worked for Inskip Motors in New York and Rhode Island, and it was through that and the SCCA community he met Donohue, a graduate of Brown University in Rhode Island with a degree in engineering. Donohue had won the SCCA national championship in 1961, as well as the Bridgehampton 500-mile SCCA race in 1964. It was through Hansgen that Donohue got a seat to co-drive in bigger events, starting with Sebring in 1965, where he and Hansgen piloted a Ferrari 250 LM for Mecom Racing Team. Donohue would go on to win two divisional championships in 1965, SCCA B Class behind the wheel of a Shelby GT350 and an SCCA Formula C in a Lotus 20B. Later, Donohue would go on to achieve 4th overall (2nd in class) at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans with Bruce McLaren behind the wheel of a Shelby American GT40 Mk IV—in addition to a very successful SCCA Trans AM career and his famous victory at the Indianapolis 500 in 1972. Hansgen and Donohue proved to be quite the duo. Prior to the 1965 12 Hours of Sebring the Holman-Moody team drivers finished 3rd at the 1965 24 Hours of Daytona in GT40 Mk II chassis P/1031, behind two Shelby American Mk IIs driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant and the 1st-place car driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. Looking to build on the success at Daytona, Hansgen and Donohue qualified 4th at Sebring with a time of 2 minutes and 58 seconds flat—edging out the prior month’s Daytona winners, Shelby American’s Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby, by six-tenths of a second. On race day at Sebring, Hansgen and Donohue shined once again, this time piloting P/1032, race #3, in a competitive field highlighted by 13 GT40s, five Ferraris, and 10 Porsches. Hansgen and Donohue held their own, defending a top 10 place for the last three hours of the race, eventually climbing up to 3rd. Shelby American’s Dan Gurney, the race’s fastest qualifier, was disqualified after pushing he and Jerry Grant’s GT40 Mk II across the finish line, one lap behind Shelby American’s race-winning GT40-based Ford X-1 Roadster piloted by Miles and Ruby. Hansgen and Donohue took 2nd place for Holman-Moody, followed by Peter Revson and Skip Scott finishing 3rd in the Essex Wire GT40. The 1966 Sebring podium was an impressive 1-2-3 finish for Ford Motor Company and marked Holman-Moody’s best finish at the race. LE MANS 1966 Following Sebring, and in preparation for Le Mans, P/1032 was shipped to Ford’s Kingman test track in Arizona, where alongside J-1, the prototype GT40 Mk IV, it was run in test sessions from 30 April to 1 May. P/1032 was subsequently sent to Riverside Raceway, where further testing took place from 2–7 May. Following testing, P/1032 was shipped back to Holman-Moody to be prepared for Le Mans, which included being painted in the Mustang shade of Emberglo with white stripes. At the annual Le Mans test weekend, nine GT40s were in attendance including Mk Is, Mk IIs, and the experimental J-2. On Saturday, in wet conditions, Walt Hansgen had an accident behind the wheel of P/1011, aquaplaning and hitting a retaining wall at high speed. He tragically passed away five days after the accident. The upcoming race would have been Hansgen’s sixth appearance at Le Mans, with his last entry in 1963 with Briggs Cunningham’s team. Hansgen’s tragic and sudden passing led to Australian sports car driver and then three-time Formula One entrant, Paul Hawkins, to drive with Donohue at Le Mans. Hawkins was no stranger to the Circuit de la Sarthe, coming off a 1965 class win in the Donald Healey Motor Company’s Austin-Healey Sebring Sprite. Ford went all in at Le Mans in 1966 with eight factory-supported Mk IIs entered in the race: three entered by Shelby American, three entered by Holman-Moody, and two entered by Alan Mann. Holman-Moody’s three entrants were Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins in the #4 car (P/1032, this car), Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson in the #5 car (P/1016), and Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi in the #6 car (P/1031). Leading up to race day it became evident that differentiating the GT40s entered in the race was going to be difficult, especially at night. Holman-Moody made the decision to apply DayGlo identification patches, with P/1032 receiving green DayGlo patches on the front nose and on the side, providing easy differentiation amongst the GT40s in the field. With Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins behind the wheel, P/1032 qualified 11th, one-tenth of a second behind Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier’s #9 Chevrolet-powered Chaparral 2D, and 1.1 seconds ahead of the Holman-Moody sister car, Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi’s #6 GT40 Mk II. Pole was achieved by Shelby American’s #3 GT40 Mk II driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. Just 4.6 seconds separated Donohue and Hawkins from the #3 Gurney and Grant pole position car, outlining a very competitive top of the field. Henry Ford II, then Chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company, dropped the starting flag at the beginning of the 1966 race, sending off 55 drivers to begin the legendary endurance event. Le Mans proved a challenge for P/1032. After completing the first lap the car was forced to pit with a broken half shaft. Following a lengthy pit stop, P/1032 rejoined the race with ground to make up. The car would return to the pits to tape the tail section to the car; this would prove futile as P/1032 would famously lose its tail section on the Mulsanne straight, continuing to cover laps “half naked.” Donohue and Hawkins were unable to climb higher than 30th place during the race, and in the end, transmission problems would ultimately end their day, forcing retirement after four hours of racing and having covered just 12 laps of the unforgiving Circuit de la Sarthe. Despite the challenges P/1032 dealt with in the race, the GT40 Mk II as a model proved to be a potent racecar, finally delivering for the Blue Oval—and doing so in impressive fashion. Three GT40 Mk IIs would finish the race: Holman-Moody’s #5 car driven by Bucknum and Hutcherson, the sister car to P/1032, finished 3rd; Shelby American #1 car driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme finished 2nd; and Shelby American’s #2 car driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon finished 1st. For Ford, it was the first-ever win at Le Mans, and the 1-2-3 finish sent a powerful message to the racing world. Ford’s win with the new GT40 Mk IIs closed the book on Ferrari, ending their streak of six consecutive wins at Le Mans, and started what would be Ford’s own multi-year run of dominance: they would go on to win again in 1967, 1968, and 1969. After that, the Blue Oval would sit out the legendary endurance race until 2016, the 50th anniversary of the marque’s famous 1966 win. Ford’s highly successful return was spearheaded, of course, by the new GT—the modern-day incarnation of the legendary GT40. A RACECAR’S RETIREMENT—AND RESTORATION Following Le Mans, P/1032 was shipped back to the United States, famously stopping through Luigi Chinetti’s Greenwich, Connecticut dealership prior to a return trip to Europe. Chinetti and Holman were good friends, and Chinetti’s proximity to New York’s JFK Airport with fast air freight made it an easy decision for Holman to have Chinetti handle shipping cars to and from Europe for the Holman-Moody team. Back in Europe, the GT40 Mk II was displayed in its “as-raced” #4 Le Mans appearance; however, the green DayGlo patches were now red. The change was likely due to the fact that the DayGlo patches were prone to quickly fading. P/1032 is believed to have been shown at the October 1966 Paris Motor Show. It was then shown at the March 1967 Geneva Motor Show, with a photo of this exhibit on file. Its last European auto show is believed to have been the August 1967 Monza Auto Show. Following Monza, P/1032 was turned over to Ford of France and then returned to the United States. At some point following its European tour, P/1032 was refinished to black with white stripes, similar to the 1966 Le Mans-winning #2 McLaren and Amon car (P/1046). Although unconfirmed, it is believed that this cosmetic refinish was carried out for promotional purposes. Interestingly, the livery of the #2 car was not reproduced with total accuracy; chassis P/1046 raced at Le Mans in black with silver stripes, not white stripes. Additionally, the roundels on P/1032 were outlined in red, unlike the purely white roundels on P/1046. P/1032 was eventually donated to Anton "Tony" Hulman Jr., then the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Museum. It joined the display on 29 March 1968. At the time of donation, P/1032 was still black with white stripes, and the car was equipped with a non-running, wet-sump NASCAR 427-cubic-inch V-8 with a T-44 transaxle. With oil lines for the engine disconnected, a non-running engine, no clutch, and the car’s fuel bags removed, P/1032’s “setup” was good only for one thing: static display. From 1976 to 1983, P/1032 was displayed at the Early Wheels Museum, an arm of the IMS Museum with a small display of non-Indianapolis 500-related cars in Terre Haute, Indiana, where Tony Hulman Jr. was originally from and where his family businesses were based. P/1032 was featured in the 1982 issue #39 of The Shelby American and later in a 1985 calendar Ford Racing: A Retrospect by Paul Oxman publishing. In the mid-2000s, discussions began to restore P/1032 to its correct #4 Holman-Moody 1966 Le Mans livery, and restoration work began in October 2006. It is significant here to note that this restoration work was undertaken by four employees of the Ford Motor Company. Jim Dunham, a senior engineer, took the lead, joined by engineers Paul Osborne and Adam Christian. Mose Nowland—who, in his 57-year career at Ford developing engines, was part of the Le Mans program in the 1960s—rounded out the team. All four graciously donated their time to restore P/1032, only asking for reimbursement for materials required to complete the restoration. While the initial scope of the project was an exterior refinish, the job expanded to a full restoration, which was completed in 2011. Following completion, P/1032 was proudly displayed at the 2011 Concours d'Elegance of America, held at The Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth, Michigan, not far from where the restoration was carried out. Since then, P/1032 has resided in the IMS Museum's illustrious Vault, where it was shown on VIP tours for guests who wanted to see the full extent of the impressive collection. There, P/1032 was displayed alongside the 1965 Le Mans-winning NART Ferrari 250 LM and the Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Streamliner driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. It has been periodically displayed on the IMS Museum’s main floor, most recently in the 2020–2021 “From the Vault” exhibition. Further, INDYCAR driver Conner Daly drove the car in demonstration laps during the 2023 IMS and IMSA’s Battle on the Bricks weekend. Today, P/1032 remains in its 1966 #4 Le Mans livery, still beaming from its 2011 restoration and in running order. A “no-stories example” with known ownership from new, P/1032 has the distinction of two of the world’s premier races, Sebring and Le Mans, on its record. In part because it only raced twice, P/1032 suffered no on-track crashes, and it did not receive the ongoing upgrades that similar cars with more extensive racing records did. Because of this, P/1032 is believed to be one of the best examples of a Mark II in existence—a stellar representation of the GT40 as it was at the beginning of Ford’s endurance-racing dominance. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME Ford celebrated its centennial with a special car, the GT40-inspired Ford GT—a stunning homage to the Le Mans-winning cars of the 1960s, and Detroit’s first supercar. Ten years later, the second-generation Ford GT would return to Le Mans achieving class victory in 2016 for Ford, fittingly on the 50th anniversary of their first win in 1966. Between Ford’s celebration of its heritage with retro-inspired models, a victorious return to Le Mans in 2016, and the release of the Academy Award winning-movie Ford v Ferrari in 2019, Ford’s legendary 1960s GT40 program has captured the hearts of the next generation of automotive enthusiasts, ensuring that the original GT40s will remain a celebrated racecar for generations. Yet chances to own genuine, competition-driven GT40s come along very rarely, with most of these chassis sequestered in museums—as has been the case with this car for over five decades—or closely held in corporate or private collections. Ford’s Total Performance era set the tone for Blue Oval products for years to come, and no car is more emblematic of the effort than the mighty GT40. P/1032 was not only part of this illustrious story: it was prepped by the legendary team at Holman-Moody; it performed on two of motor racing biggest stages, Le Mans and Sebring; and it was piloted by notable drivers of the period, including Walt Hansgen, Mark Donohue, and Paul Hawkins. Benefitting from a wonderful restoration to its 1966 Le Mans configuration, chassis P/1032, one of just eight Mk IIs built, represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a piece of Ford’s legendary GT40 program—one that is, as Holman-Moody’s slogan so aptly put it, Competition Proven. 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Hansgen had competed in two US Formula One Grands Prix and three NASCAR races, and he was a two-time Indianapolis 500 starter (1964 and 1965). But his real success had come in the SCCA, where he was a four-time National Champion in the C Modified class, competing in a Jaguar D-Type from 1956–1958 and a Lister Jaguar in 1959. Hansgen worked for Inskip Motors in New York and Rhode Island, and it was through that and the SCCA community he met Donohue, a graduate of Brown University in Rhode Island with a degree in engineering. Donohue had won the SCCA national championship in 1961, as well as the Bridgehampton 500-mile SCCA race in 1964. It was through Hansgen that Donohue got a seat to co-drive in bigger events, starting with Sebring in 1965, where he and Hansgen piloted a Ferrari 250 LM for Mecom Racing Team. Donohue would go on to win two divisional championships in 1965, SCCA B Class behind the wheel of a Shelby GT350 and an SCCA Formula C in a Lotus 20B. Later, Donohue would go on to achieve 4th overall (2nd in class) at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans with Bruce McLaren behind the wheel of a Shelby American GT40 Mk IV—in addition to a very successful SCCA Trans AM career and his famous victory at the Indianapolis 500 in 1972. Hansgen and Donohue proved to be quite the duo. Prior to the 1965 12 Hours of Sebring the Holman-Moody team drivers finished 3rd at the 1965 24 Hours of Daytona in GT40 Mk II chassis P/1031, behind two Shelby American Mk IIs driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant and the 1st-place car driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. Looking to build on the success at Daytona, Hansgen and Donohue qualified 4th at Sebring with a time of 2 minutes and 58 seconds flat—edging out the prior month’s Daytona winners, Shelby American’s Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby, by six-tenths of a second. On race day at Sebring, Hansgen and Donohue shined once again, this time piloting P/1032, race #3, in a competitive field highlighted by 13 GT40s, five Ferraris, and 10 Porsches. Hansgen and Donohue held their own, defending a top 10 place for the last three hours of the race, eventually climbing up to 3rd. Shelby American’s Dan Gurney, the race’s fastest qualifier, was disqualified after pushing he and Jerry Grant’s GT40 Mk II across the finish line, one lap behind Shelby American’s race-winning GT40-based Ford X-1 Roadster piloted by Miles and Ruby. Hansgen and Donohue took 2nd place for Holman-Moody, followed by Peter Revson and Skip Scott finishing 3rd in the Essex Wire GT40. The 1966 Sebring podium was an impressive 1-2-3 finish for Ford Motor Company and marked Holman-Moody’s best finish at the race. LE MANS 1966 Following Sebring, and in preparation for Le Mans, P/1032 was shipped to Ford’s Kingman test track in Arizona, where alongside J-1, the prototype GT40 Mk IV, it was run in test sessions from 30 April to 1 May. P/1032 was subsequently sent to Riverside Raceway, where further testing took place from 2–7 May. Following testing, P/1032 was shipped back to Holman-Moody to be prepared for Le Mans, which included being painted in the Mustang shade of Emberglo with white stripes. At the annual Le Mans test weekend, nine GT40s were in attendance including Mk Is, Mk IIs, and the experimental J-2. On Saturday, in wet conditions, Walt Hansgen had an accident behind the wheel of P/1011, aquaplaning and hitting a retaining wall at high speed. He tragically passed away five days after the accident. The upcoming race would have been Hansgen’s sixth appearance at Le Mans, with his last entry in 1963 with Briggs Cunningham’s team. Hansgen’s tragic and sudden passing led to Australian sports car driver and then three-time Formula One entrant, Paul Hawkins, to drive with Donohue at Le Mans. Hawkins was no stranger to the Circuit de la Sarthe, coming off a 1965 class win in the Donald Healey Motor Company’s Austin-Healey Sebring Sprite. Ford went all in at Le Mans in 1966 with eight factory-supported Mk IIs entered in the race: three entered by Shelby American, three entered by Holman-Moody, and two entered by Alan Mann. Holman-Moody’s three entrants were Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins in the #4 car (P/1032, this car), Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson in the #5 car (P/1016), and Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi in the #6 car (P/1031). Leading up to race day it became evident that differentiating the GT40s entered in the race was going to be difficult, especially at night. Holman-Moody made the decision to apply DayGlo identification patches, with P/1032 receiving green DayGlo patches on the front nose and on the side, providing easy differentiation amongst the GT40s in the field. With Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins behind the wheel, P/1032 qualified 11th, one-tenth of a second behind Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier’s #9 Chevrolet-powered Chaparral 2D, and 1.1 seconds ahead of the Holman-Moody sister car, Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi’s #6 GT40 Mk II. Pole was achieved by Shelby American’s #3 GT40 Mk II driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. Just 4.6 seconds separated Donohue and Hawkins from the #3 Gurney and Grant pole position car, outlining a very competitive top of the field. Henry Ford II, then Chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company, dropped the starting flag at the beginning of the 1966 race, sending off 55 drivers to begin the legendary endurance event. Le Mans proved a challenge for P/1032. After completing the first lap the car was forced to pit with a broken half shaft. Following a lengthy pit stop, P/1032 rejoined the race with ground to make up. The car would return to the pits to tape the tail section to the car; this would prove futile as P/1032 would famously lose its tail section on the Mulsanne straight, continuing to cover laps “half naked.” Donohue and Hawkins were unable to climb higher than 30th place during the race, and in the end, transmission problems would ultimately end their day, forcing retirement after four hours of racing and having covered just 12 laps of the unforgiving Circuit de la Sarthe. Despite the challenges P/1032 dealt with in the race, the GT40 Mk II as a model proved to be a potent racecar, finally delivering for the Blue Oval—and doing so in impressive fashion. Three GT40 Mk IIs would finish the race: Holman-Moody’s #5 car driven by Bucknum and Hutcherson, the sister car to P/1032, finished 3rd; Shelby American #1 car driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme finished 2nd; and Shelby American’s #2 car driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon finished 1st. For Ford, it was the first-ever win at Le Mans, and the 1-2-3 finish sent a powerful message to the racing world. Ford’s win with the new GT40 Mk IIs closed the book on Ferrari, ending their streak of six consecutive wins at Le Mans, and started what would be Ford’s own multi-year run of dominance: they would go on to win again in 1967, 1968, and 1969. After that, the Blue Oval would sit out the legendary endurance race until 2016, the 50th anniversary of the marque’s famous 1966 win. Ford’s highly successful return was spearheaded, of course, by the new GT—the modern-day incarnation of the legendary GT40. A RACECAR’S RETIREMENT—AND RESTORATION Following Le Mans, P/1032 was shipped back to the United States, famously stopping through Luigi Chinetti’s Greenwich, Connecticut dealership prior to a return trip to Europe. Chinetti and Holman were good friends, and Chinetti’s proximity to New York’s JFK Airport with fast air freight made it an easy decision for Holman to have Chinetti handle shipping cars to and from Europe for the Holman-Moody team. Back in Europe, the GT40 Mk II was displayed in its “as-raced” #4 Le Mans appearance; however, the green DayGlo patches were now red. The change was likely due to the fact that the DayGlo patches were prone to quickly fading. P/1032 is believed to have been shown at the October 1966 Paris Motor Show. It was then shown at the March 1967 Geneva Motor Show, with a photo of this exhibit on file. Its last European auto show is believed to have been the August 1967 Monza Auto Show. Following Monza, P/1032 was turned over to Ford of France and then returned to the United States. At some point following its European tour, P/1032 was refinished to black with white stripes, similar to the 1966 Le Mans-winning #2 McLaren and Amon car (P/1046). Although unconfirmed, it is believed that this cosmetic refinish was carried out for promotional purposes. Interestingly, the livery of the #2 car was not reproduced with total accuracy; chassis P/1046 raced at Le Mans in black with silver stripes, not white stripes. Additionally, the roundels on P/1032 were outlined in red, unlike the purely white roundels on P/1046. P/1032 was eventually donated to Anton "Tony" Hulman Jr., then the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) Museum. It joined the display on 29 March 1968. At the time of donation, P/1032 was still black with white stripes, and the car was equipped with a non-running, wet-sump NASCAR 427-cubic-inch V-8 with a T-44 transaxle. With oil lines for the engine disconnected, a non-running engine, no clutch, and the car’s fuel bags removed, P/1032’s “setup” was good only for one thing: static display. From 1976 to 1983, P/1032 was displayed at the Early Wheels Museum, an arm of the IMS Museum with a small display of non-Indianapolis 500-related cars in Terre Haute, Indiana, where Tony Hulman Jr. was originally from and where his family businesses were based. P/1032 was featured in the 1982 issue #39 of The Shelby American and later in a 1985 calendar Ford Racing: A Retrospect by Paul Oxman publishing. In the mid-2000s, discussions began to restore P/1032 to its correct #4 Holman-Moody 1966 Le Mans livery, and restoration work began in October 2006. It is significant here to note that this restoration work was undertaken by four employees of the Ford Motor Company. Jim Dunham, a senior engineer, took the lead, joined by engineers Paul Osborne and Adam Christian. Mose Nowland—who, in his 57-year career at Ford developing engines, was part of the Le Mans program in the 1960s—rounded out the team. All four graciously donated their time to restore P/1032, only asking for reimbursement for materials required to complete the restoration. While the initial scope of the project was an exterior refinish, the job expanded to a full restoration, which was completed in 2011. Following completion, P/1032 was proudly displayed at the 2011 Concours d'Elegance of America, held at The Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth, Michigan, not far from where the restoration was carried out. Since then, P/1032 has resided in the IMS Museum's illustrious Vault, where it was shown on VIP tours for guests who wanted to see the full extent of the impressive collection. There, P/1032 was displayed alongside the 1965 Le Mans-winning NART Ferrari 250 LM and the Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Streamliner driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. It has been periodically displayed on the IMS Museum’s main floor, most recently in the 2020–2021 “From the Vault” exhibition. Further, INDYCAR driver Conner Daly drove the car in demonstration laps during the 2023 IMS and IMSA’s Battle on the Bricks weekend. Today, P/1032 remains in its 1966 #4 Le Mans livery, still beaming from its 2011 restoration and in running order. A “no-stories example” with known ownership from new, P/1032 has the distinction of two of the world’s premier races, Sebring and Le Mans, on its record. In part because it only raced twice, P/1032 suffered no on-track crashes, and it did not receive the ongoing upgrades that similar cars with more extensive racing records did. Because of this, P/1032 is believed to be one of the best examples of a Mark II in existence—a stellar representation of the GT40 as it was at the beginning of Ford’s endurance-racing dominance. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME Ford celebrated its centennial with a special car, the GT40-inspired Ford GT—a stunning homage to the Le Mans-winning cars of the 1960s, and Detroit’s first supercar. Ten years later, the second-generation Ford GT would return to Le Mans achieving class victory in 2016 for Ford, fittingly on the 50th anniversary of their first win in 1966. Between Ford’s celebration of its heritage with retro-inspired models, a victorious return to Le Mans in 2016, and the release of the Academy Award winning-movie Ford v Ferrari in 2019, Ford’s legendary 1960s GT40 program has captured the hearts of the next generation of automotive enthusiasts, ensuring that the original GT40s will remain a celebrated racecar for generations. Yet chances to own genuine, competition-driven GT40s come along very rarely, with most of these chassis sequestered in museums—as has been the case with this car for over five decades—or closely held in corporate or private collections. Ford’s Total Performance era set the tone for Blue Oval products for years to come, and no car is more emblematic of the effort than the mighty GT40. P/1032 was not only part of this illustrious story: it was prepped by the legendary team at Holman-Moody; it performed on two of motor racing biggest stages, Le Mans and Sebring; and it was piloted by notable drivers of the period, including Walt Hansgen, Mark Donohue, and Paul Hawkins. Benefitting from a wonderful restoration to its 1966 Le Mans configuration, chassis P/1032, one of just eight Mk IIs built, represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a piece of Ford’s legendary GT40 program—one that is, as Holman-Moody’s slogan so aptly put it, Competition Proven.

Upon its introduction at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz bosses knew that the 230 SL had big shoes to fill. Following directly in the footsteps of the 300 SL and 190 SL, the Stuttgart marque sought to address criticisms levelled at its earlier sports cars—namely, that the former was too expensive, and the latter lacked power. As the 230 SL was revealed in Switzerland, the long-serving and leading Mercedes-Benz head of development and research, Professor Fritz Nallinger, announced: ‘It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance, which despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of traveling comfort.’ And so, the W113-platform 230 SL was born. The roadster wore an attractive, Paul Bracq-styled design, while the removable concave “Pagoda” hardtop roof added distinctive looks that would come to characterise the car. The model was a hit, with over 48,000 examples made over a four-year production run, with almost 20,000 of those going to the United States. Famous owners ranged from John Lennon and Sophia Loren to Sir Stirling Moss. The example offered here was instrumental to the long-lasting success of the 230 SL, as it served as a development car for the model. Ordered in the name of Prof. Nallinger—the driving force behind this and other Mercedes-Benz sports cars, including the 300 SL—the car was configured by the engineer with automatic transmission and power steering. As a result, it is believed to be the first 230 SL to bear these features. The car was registered to Daimler-Benz AG of Stuttgart as “S-RV 439” on 11 June 1963, known internally as “Experimental Vehicle Ut” and assigned the test car number “8”. Prof. Nallinger used the car as his personal transport while also fulfilling the car’s developmental role. Over a series of documented test drives made by Prof. Nallinger—available to view in the history file as part of a report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage in 2023—Prof. Nallinger noted improvements to be made on the 230 SL, such as high noise levels recorded in the cabin. These documents extend to internal letters from Prof. Nallinger to the legendary Rudolf Uhlenhaut, and the engineers Herren Müller and Wilfert. It is thought that the single seat in the rear of the car—facing forward, unlike the sideward-mounted rear seat of the production-ready 230 SL—was installed for test purposes. Prof. Nallinger specified the car in the same configuration as the 230 SL revealed at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, complete with the unique and factory-correct colour pairing of Orange Metallic over Leder Türkis upholstery, with black dashboard panels and black hardtop. Today, the car retains this configuration, together with a largely original interior showing characterful patina, while the 230 SL retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, and engine. The car is offered with copies of its Data Card and order sheet, its first German registration, further to its history report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage. Marque enthusiasts will relish this opportunity to acquire a significant piece of automotive history. 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL 'Pagoda' 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 Upon its introduction at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz bosses knew that the 230 SL had big shoes to fill. Following directly in the footsteps of the 300 SL and 190 SL, the Stuttgart marque sought to address criticisms levelled at its earlier sports cars—namely, that the former was too expensive, and the latter lacked power. As the 230 SL was revealed in Switzerland, the long-serving and leading Mercedes-Benz head of development and research, Professor Fritz Nallinger, announced: ‘It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance, which despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of traveling comfort.’ And so, the W113-platform 230 SL was born. The roadster wore an attractive, Paul Bracq-styled design, while the removable concave “Pagoda” hardtop roof added distinctive looks that would come to characterise the car. The model was a hit, with over 48,000 examples made over a four-year production run, with almost 20,000 of those going to the United States. Famous owners ranged from John Lennon and Sophia Loren to Sir Stirling Moss. The example offered here was instrumental to the long-lasting success of the 230 SL, as it served as a development car for the model. Ordered in the name of Prof. Nallinger—the driving force behind this and other Mercedes-Benz sports cars, including the 300 SL—the car was configured by the engineer with automatic transmission and power steering. As a result, it is believed to be the first 230 SL to bear these features. The car was registered to Daimler-Benz AG of Stuttgart as “S-RV 439” on 11 June 1963, known internally as “Experimental Vehicle Ut” and assigned the test car number “8”. Prof. Nallinger used the car as his personal transport while also fulfilling the car’s developmental role. Over a series of documented test drives made by Prof. Nallinger—available to view in the history file as part of a report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage in 2023—Prof. Nallinger noted improvements to be made on the 230 SL, such as high noise levels recorded in the cabin. These documents extend to internal letters from Prof. Nallinger to the legendary Rudolf Uhlenhaut, and the engineers Herren Müller and Wilfert. It is thought that the single seat in the rear of the car—facing forward, unlike the sideward-mounted rear seat of the production-ready 230 SL—was installed for test purposes. Prof. Nallinger specified the car in the same configuration as the 230 SL revealed at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, complete with the unique and factory-correct colour pairing of Orange Metallic over Leder Türkis upholstery, with black dashboard panels and black hardtop. Today, the car retains this configuration, together with a largely original interior showing characterful patina, while the 230 SL retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, and engine. The car is offered with copies of its Data Card and order sheet, its first German registration, further to its history report compiled by Mercedes-Benz Heritage. Marque enthusiasts will relish this opportunity to acquire a significant piece of automotive history.
