This fantastic Lancia Coupé with its Touring coachwork, one of 863 examples built, with a 2.5 litre engine V6 delivering 119 horsepower was registered in July 1961, most probably in Italy. Many years ago, the Flaminia was imported and registered in Switzerland. Around 15 years ago the coachwork was restored and repainted with the interior left in its original condition, showing a lovely age correct patina. In 2011 the Lancia was taken over by the vendor who gave it the necessary exercise whilst performing thorough maintenance on the car. In 2020, around 1’000 kilometres ago, the rear crankshaft seal was replaced, the valves adjusted, the suspension overhauled and the rear dampers replaced. The Italian luxury Coupé is in good condition and is ready to revive 60s Italian cinematic dolce vita for its next lucky owner.

Short, stubby and simply unstoppable, the Lancia Stratos HF won a staggering 18 World Rally events and no fewer than three World Rally Championships. Its formidable performance can be attributed largely to Marcello Gandini, the design wunderkind who, working under the Bertone banner, single-handedly revolutionised the world of car design. The introduction of the Stratos in 1970 heralded the era of the ‘wedge’ and petrolheads simply had no idea what they were in for. Arguably the very first thoroughbred rally car, no stone was left unturned by Lancia and Bertone’s designers and engineers in the quest for performance. The Stratos’ desperately short wheelbase (just 2.18 metres) coupled with its 880kg weight meant it was positively nimble and direct. It took a skip-full of skill to master it, which explains why Sandro Munari ranks so highly in our list of great drivers. For the heart of its new car, Lancia approached Ferrari, a company whose legend was forged around the power and reliability of its engines. A 2.4-litre six-cylinder ‘Dino’ engine was chosen and tucked transversely right behind the cabin. It produced a mighty 300HP in Corsa spec. And it sounded a rabid dog barking for its life. “The Stratos’s formidable performance can be attributed largely to Marcello Gandini, the design wunderkind who, working under the Bertone banner, single-handedly revolutionised the world of car design.” Crucially, the rallying rules of the time dictated that 500 road-specification cars were to be built in order to homologate a competition variant. In typically Italian fashion, Lancia didn’t manage to do that. It’s estimated that 492 Stratos HF Stradales left the marque’s Chivasso plant, of which this beautiful example from 1975 is one. Chassis number 001545 The production of this magnificent Stratos HF Stradale, chassis number 001545, was completed at Lancia’s Chivasso plant in January of 1975. Finished in Rosso Stratos over a Nero con Alcantara (black leatherette seats with Havana Alcantara inserts) interior, the car was delivered with two optional extras: larger Pirelli 205/70-section tyres and red carpets. Lancia first sold this Stratos to Lancia France in Levallois, where it was first registered in 1978. And France is where it would remain for over four decades, passing through the hands of a number of custodians including the well-known French collector Monsieur Jacques Capoulade and Francois Ceresa, who participated in the 1999 Coupe des Alpes. This Lancia’s penultimate Parisian owner acquired the car in 2014. During his tenure as chassis 001545’s owner, he maintained the car fastidiously, as proven by the myriad invoices we have on file. In 2017, he commissioned a sensitive cosmetic refresh with Carrosserie Martin, which included a full repaint in the original shade of Rosso Stratos, a gearbox rebuild and the fitment of a new exhaust system and tyres. We at Girardo & Co. had the pleasure of selling this Stratos in early 2020, its next and current custodian opting to import the car to the United Kingdom. Carefully stored and infrequently driven, the Lancia’s most notable outing under the stewardship of its current owner was the 2022 Tour Auto Optic 2000. The 2,000-km road rally meandered from Paris to the Andorra and encompassed 14 special stages and a number of legendary racing circuits. Needless to say, chassis 001545 didn’t miss a beat – a testament to the fastidious care bestowed upon the car throughout its life. The accompanying Girardo & Co. history file testifies to the love and attention this Stratos has enjoyed over the years. It’s crammed with invoices. Also included are its Lancia Classiche Certificato di Origine, copies of the Stratos’ FIA homologation papers and factory Lancia user manual, service schedule and spare parts catalogue. In spite of its rally roots, versatility is the Lancia Stratos’ trump card in today’s world. Among the most famous 1970s sports cars of them all, the Stratos is go-anywhere, do-anything car – from concours competitions and historic road rallies to showing up modern supercars at your local cars-and-coffee morning. We’re confident this gorgeous and highly original Stratos HF Stradale won’t hang around Belchers Farm for long. 1976 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale Girardo & Co.

The term "Carrera RS" clearly originated in 1972 with the launch of the Iconic 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, the success of which would later form the basis for a number of ultimate, sporty 911 models. Despite the success of the original, Porsche did not bring another RS to the market for 18 years, until the Type 964 RS was created in 1991, of which 2,282 were produced. The appearance of the 993 generation in 1993 led Porsche to revisit its 911 Carrera, for the same competitive purposes. A sporting obligation that was once again accompanied by a road version produced in small numbers and named RS. The 911 Carrera RS type 993 made its first appearance at the Amsterdam Motor Show in January 1995. 1,014 units were sold worldwide, plus 227 built to the much sportier Clubsport specification. All RS cars are highly desirable, but after the original Carrera RS, the 993 RS, which is the last air-cooled RS, is the most sought after. At first glance, this RS imposes a more muscular style than its predecessor. While the standard version is relatively quiet, the Clubsport model is outright beastly, with its monstrous 993 Carrera Cup spoiler. The original appendage is more sober and consists of a flat, monoplane spoiler reminiscent of the first 911 Carrera RS 3.0. Sometimes invisible, the weight reduction - an integral part of the RS programme - is achieved by means of an aluminum bonnet and lightened, two-piece 18" wheels. The Porsche 911 RS 993 comes standard with air conditioning and sports seats, but it does not completely dispense with comfort. The Clubsport, on the other hand, does not include these features in exchange for a roll bar, two bucket seats with harnesses and a fire extinguisher. The simplified doors taken from the 964 RS are standard in both versions, as is the power steering, but the 993 RS Clubsport also does without the electric windows of the more sensible version. Of course, there are no rear seats, which rules out a Sunday drive with the family. The carpets are thinned out, as are the windows, or even removed in the boot. The engine has been given a new voice and the slimming diet has been improved by removing a few insulators. The specific "Carrera RS" logo completes the visual signature on the engine cover. The counterpart of the weight reduction is measured on the scales with a weight of only 1,270 kg, a good hundred kilograms less than the 993 Standard. The mechanical basis of the Porsche 993 Carrera RS is the well-known 3.6 engine from the 964 generation. From this block, Porsche has increased the engine size to 3746 cm3 (by increasing the bore). This modification will be the X51 option for the last 993 Carrera. Air cooled since 1963, the Porsche flat 6 also keeps its two valves per cylinder, which does not make it a model of modernity in 1995, especially in front of the 6 cylinders of the MW M3 or other Honda NSX. Its 80 hp/L output is not a value expected from a sports car of this range. But that would be forgetting two fundamental things about this engine. First of all, its exceptional flexibility obtained thanks to a high torque value and the boxer architecture. 355 Nm is not bad, but at 5400 rpm it also translates into a real raging character. The thrust becomes very clear between 5000 and 6500 rpm. The power then falls off before the cut-off speed at 6800 rpm. Unlike the 964 RS, Porsche has adopted a hydraulic valve lash adjustment system, as well as the factory-patented Varioram system, which acts on the length of the intake manifold depending on engine speed and allows for improved airflow and therefore torque. The 993 RS Clubsport is unique in that it does not have a dual mass flywheel and is therefore a little rougher to drive, especially in urban conditions. The other advantage of the Porsche 911 is its engine layout, which favors acceleration like no other. The car accelerates to 100 km/h in just over 5 seconds and the acceleration is just as remarkable. On the road, the 993 generation brings a real evolution to the Porsche 911 in terms of its drivetrain and its dynamic behaviour. The most important new feature of the 993 is the aluminium rear axle with superimposed wishbones. The aim is similar to that of a steered axle, with the design of the rear axles generating a small amount of steering input and increasing stability and agility. Wider than the 964, the 993 RS is therefore logically easier to drive quickly in corners and more efficient. Still, compared to our current sports cars, we are far from being asleep! The power steering, which does not erode the feeling, is appreciable, especially with large 18" tyres. You can also count on the brakes. The RS uses the same set-up as the 993 Turbo, with two pairs of 322mm ventilated discs and two pairs of 4-piston calipers. This is good news, especially as the 911 is driven without the brake sign as much as possible! The idea is to drive as late and as far as possible to counteract the understeer induced by the big 3.8L rucksack that pushes your butt. Once the front end is registered, you just let the rear end go smoothly to roll out of the corner and go like a bullet once everything is back in line. Mastering a sporty 911 like the 993 RS takes some getting used to. But this natural reluctance to reveal oneself to the first person is also what makes the Porsche 911 so desirable, so unique and ultimately so endearing. Add to this bad character of the chassis the true character of the mechanics, and you have in front of you what is for many drivers the must of the car production. A car that is desirable and desired, as much for what it is as for what it represents. The 993 RS potentially adds to this the ability to be driven like almost anyone else's car, which is not the least of its strengths. Purchased via the official distributor Christal Automobiles in Rouen (now Centre Porsche Rouen), this 993 RS was delivered new at the beginning of November 1995 (registered 08/11/1995) to Mr Jean-Marc Lefèvre, a pharmacist in Caudebec en Caux (Normandy). It was Raymond Narac, famous Porsche driver (8 participations in the 24h of Le Mans, among others), who personally delivered the RS by road to the home of its first owner. Jean-Marc Lefèvre kept the RS until 23/03/1999, when he decided to change Porsches and had the car taken over by SONAUTO Levallois-Perret. The RS did not immediately find a buyer. Its second owner Eric Vincenot bought it from SONAUTO at the beginning of July 1999, and registered it in the name of his company NEXO on 19/07/1999. Eric Vincenot buys the 993RS exclusively for racing. The car is entrusted to the care of the Porsche Ravé S.A. center in Arpajon, near Paris, for preparation that will continue in crescendo for almost 6 years. Eric Vincenot took on the exclusive co-driving duties of Jean-Marc Bachelier (semi-official driver) during the 6 years of competition the 993RS enjoyed, without ever suffering any damage (none!) despite very significant placings in major GT championship events from 2000 to 2006. Lédenon, Dijon, Magny-Cours, Val de Vienne, Nogaro, Jarama, Monza, SPA-Francorchamps were all playgrounds for the RS, which racked up excellent results in the GT series. Jean-Marc Bachelier confirms the extra performance of this 993RS, rigorously prepared by Ravé S.A. with no spending limits! The RS Touring is gradually transformed into the RS Cup, surprisingly without losing any of its comfort features: it races with all its original upholstery! During its 6 years on the track, the car's configuration evolved in the following key areas: -CUP chassis: shock absorbers, springs, stab bars, aluminum cradle -Cup self-locking system -short gearbox -complete rollbar (front part delivered with purchase) -engine completely rebuilt at the end of each season, entrusted to the ultimate care of Albert Hahn in Germany: Cup gearbox, Porsche Racing camshafts, integral balancing, lightened factory flywheel, etc. The last engine rebuild took place in 2014 (invoice of 47 K€ in the file) at 99400 kms. The car has been driven very regularly since then, but on very short journeys, with the last engine totalling just 5,000 kms to date! Meanwhile, on 04/10/2002 Eric Vincenot transferred the RS into his own name, with new registration and the same owner. From 2006 onwards, Eric Vincenot turned to much more radical models, parting with the 993RS in 2015. And it was none other than world motorsport icon and former official Porsche driver Gérard Larrousse who bought the car and registered it in his name on 28/05/2015 (copy of registration certificate supplied). Gérard Larrousse uses the 993RS on the road, and despite its ultra-high-performance configuration, only the shock absorber springs are set a little softer. At the highly publicized launch of the 991R limited series at the end of 2015, Gérard Larrousse was among the very few privileged people in the running to acquire one of the 991 examples on the market. Such a factory Porsche invitation could not be refused, and the 993RS was entrusted to the care of Historic Cars with a view to its rapid sale. Its last and current owner bought it and registered it on 27/01/2016. The car was driven very regularly for 7 years, exclusively on roads and short journeys. It receives regular routine maintenance. This 993RS has lived the life of a very well-kept historic Porsche, as evidenced by its perfect original condition, factory accessories and maintenance invoices. It has never been involved in an accident, despite its track record in FIA competition. French by origin (one of 23 liveries - carnet Porsche), it has known very few hands and carries the honor of having been one of the personal Porsches of Gérard Larrousse, the man who drove a Porsche 917 400 km hours in the Hunaudières. The car is "full matching" and in its original configuration, as confirmed by its Heritage Porsche certificate. Its CUP configuration gives it precedence for the track, although it has been used exclusively on the road since 2006. The engine has barely been run in, the car has been serviced, its MOT is clean, and it will be delivered to its next buyer with a binder containing invoices and photos testifying to its achievements. The HISTOVEC of successive ownership changes is present, confirming the above story. A true historic Porsche, road and track, now eligible for the VdeV among others. 1995 Porsche 993RS Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The term "Carrera RS" clearly originated in 1972 with the launch of the Iconic 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, the success of which would later form the basis for a number of ultimate, sporty 911 models. Despite the success of the original, Porsche did not bring another RS to the market for 18 years, until the Type 964 RS was created in 1991, of which 2,282 were produced. The appearance of the 993 generation in 1993 led Porsche to revisit its 911 Carrera, for the same competitive purposes. A sporting obligation that was once again accompanied by a road version produced in small numbers and named RS. The 911 Carrera RS type 993 made its first appearance at the Amsterdam Motor Show in January 1995. 1,014 units were sold worldwide, plus 227 built to the much sportier Clubsport specification. All RS cars are highly desirable, but after the original Carrera RS, the 993 RS, which is the last air-cooled RS, is the most sought after. At first glance, this RS imposes a more muscular style than its predecessor. While the standard version is relatively quiet, the Clubsport model is outright beastly, with its monstrous 993 Carrera Cup spoiler. The original appendage is more sober and consists of a flat, monoplane spoiler reminiscent of the first 911 Carrera RS 3.0. Sometimes invisible, the weight reduction - an integral part of the RS programme - is achieved by means of an aluminum bonnet and lightened, two-piece 18" wheels. The Porsche 911 RS 993 comes standard with air conditioning and sports seats, but it does not completely dispense with comfort. The Clubsport, on the other hand, does not include these features in exchange for a roll bar, two bucket seats with harnesses and a fire extinguisher. The simplified doors taken from the 964 RS are standard in both versions, as is the power steering, but the 993 RS Clubsport also does without the electric windows of the more sensible version. Of course, there are no rear seats, which rules out a Sunday drive with the family. The carpets are thinned out, as are the windows, or even removed in the boot. The engine has been given a new voice and the slimming diet has been improved by removing a few insulators. The specific "Carrera RS" logo completes the visual signature on the engine cover. The counterpart of the weight reduction is measured on the scales with a weight of only 1,270 kg, a good hundred kilograms less than the 993 Standard. The mechanical basis of the Porsche 993 Carrera RS is the well-known 3.6 engine from the 964 generation. From this block, Porsche has increased the engine size to 3746 cm3 (by increasing the bore). This modification will be the X51 option for the last 993 Carrera. Air cooled since 1963, the Porsche flat 6 also keeps its two valves per cylinder, which does not make it a model of modernity in 1995, especially in front of the 6 cylinders of the MW M3 or other Honda NSX. Its 80 hp/L output is not a value expected from a sports car of this range. But that would be forgetting two fundamental things about this engine. First of all, its exceptional flexibility obtained thanks to a high torque value and the boxer architecture. 355 Nm is not bad, but at 5400 rpm it also translates into a real raging character. The thrust becomes very clear between 5000 and 6500 rpm. The power then falls off before the cut-off speed at 6800 rpm. Unlike the 964 RS, Porsche has adopted a hydraulic valve lash adjustment system, as well as the factory-patented Varioram system, which acts on the length of the intake manifold depending on engine speed and allows for improved airflow and therefore torque. The 993 RS Clubsport is unique in that it does not have a dual mass flywheel and is therefore a little rougher to drive, especially in urban conditions. The other advantage of the Porsche 911 is its engine layout, which favors acceleration like no other. The car accelerates to 100 km/h in just over 5 seconds and the acceleration is just as remarkable. On the road, the 993 generation brings a real evolution to the Porsche 911 in terms of its drivetrain and its dynamic behaviour. The most important new feature of the 993 is the aluminium rear axle with superimposed wishbones. The aim is similar to that of a steered axle, with the design of the rear axles generating a small amount of steering input and increasing stability and agility. Wider than the 964, the 993 RS is therefore logically easier to drive quickly in corners and more efficient. Still, compared to our current sports cars, we are far from being asleep! The power steering, which does not erode the feeling, is appreciable, especially with large 18" tyres. You can also count on the brakes. The RS uses the same set-up as the 993 Turbo, with two pairs of 322mm ventilated discs and two pairs of 4-piston calipers. This is good news, especially as the 911 is driven without the brake sign as much as possible! The idea is to drive as late and as far as possible to counteract the understeer induced by the big 3.8L rucksack that pushes your butt. Once the front end is registered, you just let the rear end go smoothly to roll out of the corner and go like a bullet once everything is back in line. Mastering a sporty 911 like the 993 RS takes some getting used to. But this natural reluctance to reveal oneself to the first person is also what makes the Porsche 911 so desirable, so unique and ultimately so endearing. Add to this bad character of the chassis the true character of the mechanics, and you have in front of you what is for many drivers the must of the car production. A car that is desirable and desired, as much for what it is as for what it represents. The 993 RS potentially adds to this the ability to be driven like almost anyone else's car, which is not the least of its strengths. Purchased via the official distributor Christal Automobiles in Rouen (now Centre Porsche Rouen), this 993 RS was delivered new at the beginning of November 1995 (registered 08/11/1995) to Mr Jean-Marc Lefèvre, a pharmacist in Caudebec en Caux (Normandy). It was Raymond Narac, famous Porsche driver (8 participations in the 24h of Le Mans, among others), who personally delivered the RS by road to the home of its first owner. Jean-Marc Lefèvre kept the RS until 23/03/1999, when he decided to change Porsches and had the car taken over by SONAUTO Levallois-Perret. The RS did not immediately find a buyer. Its second owner Eric Vincenot bought it from SONAUTO at the beginning of July 1999, and registered it in the name of his company NEXO on 19/07/1999. Eric Vincenot buys the 993RS exclusively for racing. The car is entrusted to the care of the Porsche Ravé S.A. center in Arpajon, near Paris, for preparation that will continue in crescendo for almost 6 years. Eric Vincenot took on the exclusive co-driving duties of Jean-Marc Bachelier (semi-official driver) during the 6 years of competition the 993RS enjoyed, without ever suffering any damage (none!) despite very significant placings in major GT championship events from 2000 to 2006. Lédenon, Dijon, Magny-Cours, Val de Vienne, Nogaro, Jarama, Monza, SPA-Francorchamps were all playgrounds for the RS, which racked up excellent results in the GT series.

If the two petrol crisis in 1973 and 1979 have had the consequences that we know in the everyday life, they also had an effect in the world of car racing. The Group 5, one of the the leading series, had become just a debauchery of money, and everything was made to have the ultimate weapon on the track. But the FISA decided to react and to set new rules. Starting with the 1982 season, the only cars eligible for touring races would be models of which at least 25,000 examples had been produced, 2500 of which were specialized versions intended for racing, while 500 "Evolution" examples could be made to improve the race car. Additionally, annual production of the car had to amount to at least 5000 units. Along with the strict homologation requirements, the new regulations stipulated virtually all parts be interchangeable between the road car and its racing version. This included various specific engine and suspension parts, but most importantly forbade any aerodynamic development. Since the body had to comply to road legal standards, manufacturers and privateers alike were essentially forbidden from creating outlandish aero packages as seen in the days of Group 5. The change to Group A came as a bit of a shock to the manufacturers active in Group 5, as they weren’t given very much time to adapt. For BMW, this meant they suddenly had to drop their wildly successful 320i Turbo Group 5 and revert to a mundane E28 5-Series, the 528i. Even if this car has won many victories with the two-car BMW Italia, and even more with the Eggenberger Motorsport team which was really challenging the more powerful and faster TWR Jaguar XJ-S HE V12, BMW selected the venerable 6-Series as a replacement. The 635 CSi promised to be well worth the wait though, as it presented big improvement over the mundane 528i. The older car had used only a 2.8L version of the straight six engine, which produced a meager 240 horsepower. In an effort to counter the 400 horsepower V12 Jaguar, the 3.5L from the 635 CSi was taken as a starting point. Since BMW still hadn’t committed to a full factory effort, engine tuning was handled by specialists Alpina and Schrick, while final assembly fell into the very capable hands of Team Schnitzer. The end result was 295 horsepower at 6900 rpm, which still gave the BMW a 105 horsepower deficit over the Jaguar. Luckily, Group A featured an equivalency formula based on engine displacement. The size of the engine affected minimum weight requirements and maximum allowable tire width. With its 3.5L engine, the 635 CSi made do with 1185 kg (2612 lbs) minimum weight and 250-section tires on all four corners. By comparison, this left the BMW with a 222 kg (489 lbs) advantage over its British rival with its massive 5.3L V12. Furthermore, the 635 CSi had the luxury of a five-speed Getrag 265/5 transmission, whereas the XJ-S had to make amends with a four-speed unit. The weight advantage would pay dividends to BMW, as the 635 CSi could brake later, corner better, use less fuel and be easier on brakes and tires than the big Jag. This would especially be of benefit in the longer rounds of the ETCC, like the 24 Hours of Spa.Again using its superior reliability. The 635 CSi became an immediate and very dangerous threat to the superior Jaguars. Furthermore, TWR fielded only two cars, whereas BMW could count on a veritable armada. Along with semi-works Team Schnitzer and Eggenberger-BMW Italia, the 635 CSi was used by Hartge Motorsport, Juma, Motul, Chiazzaro, and a few other ones. As there were now other competitors in the top level Division 3 over 2500cc, BMW stood a very real chance of defeating the fast but fragile Jaguars. The tactic seemed to work, as BMW won six races to Jaguars four. The 635 CSi even managed to win on its debut with Team Schnitzer’s Dieter Quester and Carlo Rossi at Monza, before winning at Vallelunga with 1981 ETCC champions Helmut Kelleners and Umberto Grano of Eggenberger Motorsport-BMW Italia. Between them, these teams took five of the six wins scored by BMW, but the sixth was arguably the most special. Although it was unable to defend its title against the improved Jaguar XJ-S in 1984, the 635 CSi moved on to other great things with success! In Germany a new series was launched to accommodate Group A cars : the Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft was the immediate predecessor to the later Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. Despite lacking power in comparison to its opponents, the big Beemer’s sheer tenacity, bulletproof reliability and lovely handling gave it the ability to conquer virtually every inaugural Group A season on the planet. With total race wins in the dozens and 12 major national and international titles, the BMW 635 CSi is one of the single most successful Group A touring cars of all time. The 635 CSI chassis #RA2-59 has been entered by Bavaria Automobiles, a French team based in Reims. Assembled in 1985, it was initially intended for the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). Finally, the team led by Dominique Fornage entered the car in the 1985 Spa Francorchamps 24 Hours with Claude Ballot-Lena, Jean-Claude Andruet and René Metge. They finished in a fine 8th place. Two more participations followed in the Belgian endurance event. In 1986, the trio of Marc Sourd, René Metge and Philippe Hazebrouck finished at the foot of the podium behind two factory cars prepared by Schnitzer. Driven by famous drivers: During its career, this 635 CSI was driven by famous French drivers such as JP Jassaud, twice winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, René Metge who, after numerous participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, won three times in the Paris Dakar, Jean-Claude Andruet who participated 19 times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won numerous rally victories, including the World Rally Championship as well as Claude Ballot-Léna who participated 22 times in the mythical Mancelle race! Restored and back on track Our 635 CSI was then kept in its original condition before undergoing a first restoration including the replacement of the original aluminium roll bar with a steel FIA roll bar designed by MATTER. José Rocher and Eric Castel who had prepared the car at the time overhauled the car in 2014. Acquired in 2020 by the current owner, it has received extensive work including a complete overhaul of the engine and gearbox by Wasserman Racing with only 3H for the engine. The running gear has also been overhauled. The invoices for this recent work are on file. The car was tuned and validated during track tests in the autumn of 2021 with a view to entering it in the Heritage Touring Cup by Peter Auto in 2022 and 2023. That is the perfect car for Pater Auto HTC or VdeV endurance, with just new Valid for 10 yars FIA HTP. It's a beautiful story for a beautiful racing car with a clear history. The typical Motorsport aluminum plates are still present under the dashboard. With the factory having produced around ninety examples of the competition version of the 635, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a car that took part three times in the legendary 24 Hours of Spa and was driven by such great drivers at the time. 1985 BMW 635 Group A Historic Cars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Additionally, annual production of the car had to amount to at least 5000 units. Along with the strict homologation requirements, the new regulations stipulated virtually all parts be interchangeable between the road car and its racing version. This included various specific engine and suspension parts, but most importantly forbade any aerodynamic development. Since the body had to comply to road legal standards, manufacturers and privateers alike were essentially forbidden from creating outlandish aero packages as seen in the days of Group 5. The change to Group A came as a bit of a shock to the manufacturers active in Group 5, as they weren’t given very much time to adapt. For BMW, this meant they suddenly had to drop their wildly successful 320i Turbo Group 5 and revert to a mundane E28 5-Series, the 528i. Even if this car has won many victories with the two-car BMW Italia, and even more with the Eggenberger Motorsport team which was really challenging the more powerful and faster TWR Jaguar XJ-S HE V12, BMW selected the venerable 6-Series as a replacement. The 635 CSi promised to be well worth the wait though, as it presented big improvement over the mundane 528i. The older car had used only a 2.8L version of the straight six engine, which produced a meager 240 horsepower. In an effort to counter the 400 horsepower V12 Jaguar, the 3.5L from the 635 CSi was taken as a starting point. Since BMW still hadn’t committed to a full factory effort, engine tuning was handled by specialists Alpina and Schrick, while final assembly fell into the very capable hands of Team Schnitzer. The end result was 295 horsepower at 6900 rpm, which still gave the BMW a 105 horsepower deficit over the Jaguar. Luckily, Group A featured an equivalency formula based on engine displacement. The size of the engine affected minimum weight requirements and maximum allowable tire width. With its 3.5L engine, the 635 CSi made do with 1185 kg (2612 lbs) minimum weight and 250-section tires on all four corners. By comparison, this left the BMW with a 222 kg (489 lbs) advantage over its British rival with its massive 5.3L V12. Furthermore, the 635 CSi had the luxury of a five-speed Getrag 265/5 transmission, whereas the XJ-S had to make amends with a four-speed unit. The weight advantage would pay dividends to BMW, as the 635 CSi could brake later, corner better, use less fuel and be easier on brakes and tires than the big Jag. This would especially be of benefit in the longer rounds of the ETCC, like the 24 Hours of Spa.Again using its superior reliability. The 635 CSi became an immediate and very dangerous threat to the superior Jaguars. Furthermore, TWR fielded only two cars, whereas BMW could count on a veritable armada. Along with semi-works Team Schnitzer and Eggenberger-BMW Italia, the 635 CSi was used by Hartge Motorsport, Juma, Motul, Chiazzaro, and a few other ones. As there were now other competitors in the top level Division 3 over 2500cc, BMW stood a very real chance of defeating the fast but fragile Jaguars. The tactic seemed to work, as BMW won six races to Jaguars four. The 635 CSi even managed to win on its debut with Team Schnitzer’s Dieter Quester and Carlo Rossi at Monza, before winning at Vallelunga with 1981 ETCC champions Helmut Kelleners and Umberto Grano of Eggenberger Motorsport-BMW Italia. Between them, these teams took five of the six wins scored by BMW, but the sixth was arguably the most special. Although it was unable to defend its title against the improved Jaguar XJ-S in 1984, the 635 CSi moved on to other great things with success! In Germany a new series was launched to accommodate Group A cars : the Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft was the immediate predecessor to the later Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. Despite lacking power in comparison to its opponents, the big Beemer’s sheer tenacity, bulletproof reliability and lovely handling gave it the ability to conquer virtually every inaugural Group A season on the planet. With total race wins in the dozens and 12 major national and international titles, the BMW 635 CSi is one of the single most successful Group A touring cars of all time. The 635 CSI chassis #RA2-59 has been entered by Bavaria Automobiles, a French team based in Reims. Assembled in 1985, it was initially intended for the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). Finally, the team led by Dominique Fornage entered the car in the 1985 Spa Francorchamps 24 Hours with Claude Ballot-Lena, Jean-Claude Andruet and René Metge. They finished in a fine 8th place. Two more participations followed in the Belgian endurance event. In 1986, the trio of Marc Sourd, René Metge and Philippe Hazebrouck finished at the foot of the podium behind two factory cars prepared by Schnitzer. Driven by famous drivers: During its career, this 635 CSI was driven by famous French drivers such as JP Jassaud, twice winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, René Metge who, after numerous participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, won three times in the Paris Dakar, Jean-Claude Andruet who participated 19 times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won numerous rally victories, including the World Rally Championship as well as Claude Ballot-Léna who participated 22 times in the mythical Mancelle race! Restored and back on track Our 635 CSI was then kept in its original condition before undergoing a first restoration including the replacement of the original aluminium roll bar with a steel FIA roll bar designed by MATTER. José Rocher and Eric Castel who had prepared the car at the time overhauled the car in 2014. Acquired in 2020 by the current owner, it has received extensive work including a complete overhaul of the engine and gearbox by Wasserman Racing with only 3H for the engine. The running gear has also been overhauled. The invoices for this recent work are on file. The car was tuned and validated during track tests in the autumn of 2021 with a view to entering it in the Heritage Touring Cup by Peter Auto in 2022 and 2023. That is the perfect car for Pater Auto HTC or VdeV endurance, with just new Valid for 10 yars FIA HTP. It's a beautiful story for a beautiful racing car with a clear history. The typical Motorsport aluminum plates are still present under the dashboard. With the factory having produced around ninety examples of the competition version of the 635, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a car that took part three times in the legendary 24 Hours of Spa and was driven by such great drivers at the time.

113 of 250 Edizione Finale's produced 18,867 miles, a meticulously maintained original example Exclusive and Limited Ross Amarento Red paint Turbocharged 2.0 Liter Inline-Four Upgraded to 250 H.P. / 227 LB-FT Torque 5-Speed Manual Transmission Rare and almost unobtainable final edition of the road-going version of one of the most successful rally cars in history. Finished in Exclusive Ross Amareno Red paint over Black interior trim. The paintwork is original, in remarkable condition, and accented by a blue and yellow striping down the center of the car. Mechanically, this Lancia is a marvel of its time but even marvels could be made better. Simple upgrades include a carbon fiber air intake under the hood as well as an aftermarket muffler. It not only boasts a turbocharged and inter-cooled 2.0-liter inline-four that is capable of outputting 250 horsepower but promises the pulse-quickening rush that only a car with a lineage of six consecutive World Rally Championships could offer. The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II Edizione Finale is the culmination of one of the most successful rally cars in history. The car's silhouette is etched with the glory of its rally ancestors, its original paintwork in remarkable condition, graced by a center striping in blue and yellow - the colors of racing victories. Its aesthetic is further distinguished by the “Final Edition” accents, including assertive hood vents and an adjustable high-mounted rear spoiler, fender flares that speak of its robust agility. High Bucket Recaro Sport Seats cradle you, as OMP competition pedals lie beneath, waiting to dance to the driver's tune. The dashboard, a masterclass in ergonomics, is crowned with a leather-wrapped Momo Corse steering wheel, push-button start, Veglia instrumentation whispers of Italian craftsmanship, and a Continental radio hints at modernity without betraying its heritage. The upgraded 17-inch Speedline Magnesium wheels are the perfect complement to the overall aesthetic of the car and stand out for their uniqueness. The headlights have been changed to factory Lancia Delta units due to left-hand traffic in Canada, from the earlier Lancia style used on the model for the Japanese market. The so-called “Edizione Finale,” or final edition of the Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II, is said to have emerged because of requests from a vocal contingent of Japanese enthusiasts. Limited to 250 units, the Edizione Finale is distinguished from other Delta HF Integrale models by its livery of Ross Amarento Red with yellow and blue stripes.

It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin-Cam/RS1600, but their victory in the World Cup Rally, finishing in Mexico, provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed AVO (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the 'Mexico', marrying the Type 49 bodyshell, as used in the Twin-Cam and RS1600, with the 1,600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine and 2000E gearbox. So effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam/RS1600. The Mexico became AVO's most successful and numerous of the 'Rally Sport Escorts' and had a number of advantages on the road in that it had excellent performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all, it was great to drive, something which is still true today. Mk1 Escort Mexico production ended in January 1975 when Ford closed its AVO plant at Aveley. The car presented here is a UK-supplied 1975 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, making it a very late-production example. With an interesting backstory, this Mexico is now in superb, fully restored condition. The car spent its first ten years being enjoyed as intended but by 1984/1985, it needed a new front wing as an aftermarket aerial had been installed. With the wing sourced but not yet fitted, the owner became busy with other projects and the car got 'put away for a bit', which ended up being for 20 years or so! During this time, it was meticulously stripped, with all the original parts being logged and boxed, as the intention was always to get it back on the road 'one day'. Time passed and eventually the decision was made to sell the car – but, always to the right person. The right person was found and the car went on to become what you now see here. It was fully restored over 14 months, with the bodywork expert (described as properly 'old-school' and who had been offered the job as the restorer on the show Pimp My Ride but declined the opportunity) saying that its Type 49 bodyshell was preserved in 'exceptional condition', reckoning that it was 'the cleanest Escort shell that he’d ever worked on'. The boxed and logged original parts were carefully reinstated, including the original interior, with brand new OEM bits substituting some age-perished items like the headlights, indicator units and window rubbers. The engine, gearbox and drivetrain were all reconditioned and brought up to standard to match the newly painted bodyshell. At this time, some non-standard items were also added, including AVO dampers, twin Weber carburettors on a high lift manifold (utilised to clear the servo), a stainless steel exhaust, poly bushes and period 'bullet' mirrors. The completed car was subsequently sold to our vendor’s late brother, who treasured it for the last 17 years, ensuring its continued mechanical health by having his rally car-building friend (Keith), a life-long mechanic and who, again, vouches strongly for the veracity of the whole car, service/maintain it and in recent years fit an LSD, a new steering rack and twin 40 Weber carburettors, plus rebuilding the gearbox. The car has always been garaged and mainly just used at shows and weekend drive-outs, covering only c.5,000 miles since its restoration and is now ready for its next custodian. This striking Mexico is maybe not factory-original, but easily could be made so, with the reassuring knowledge that the all-important AVO shell is in superbly 1975 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This striking Mexico is maybe not factory-original, but easily could be made so, with the reassuring knowledge that the all-important AVO shell is in superbly Other Cars from Iconic Auctioneers Ltd 1995-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-Lux-01.jpg 1995-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-Lux-02.jpg 1995-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-Lux-15.jpg 1995-Ford-Escort-RS-Cosworth-Lux-01.jpg 1/15 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Lux Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1973-Jaguar-E-Type-Coombs-6.1-Litre-Quad-Cam-V12-01.jpg 1973-Jaguar-E-Type-Coombs-6.1-Litre-Quad-Cam-V12-02.jpg 1973-Jaguar-E-Type-Coombs-6.1-Litre-Quad-Cam-V12-20.jpg 1973-Jaguar-E-Type-Coombs-6.1-Litre-Quad-Cam-V12-01.jpg 1/20 1973 Jaguar E-Type 'Coombs' 6.1-Litre Quad-Cam V12 Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom 1995-Lotus-Esprit-S4s-01.jpeg 1995-Lotus-Esprit-S4s-02.jpeg 1995-Lotus-Esprit-S4s-15.jpeg 1995-Lotus-Esprit-S4s-01.jpeg 1/15 1995 Lotus Esprit S4s Iconic Auctioneers Ltd United Kingdom Last Featured Cars

Finished in Grigio Titanio, this 550 Maranello was first sold on October 17th 1997, in Marbella, Spain, through importer Testarossa Cars S.A. and has been under the care of just 4 owners from new. This car was represented by Issimi previously while residing in Monaco, but the most recent owner has purchased it and shipped it stateside, with it now residing in Manhattan, New York. Benefitting from a service booklet full of stamps from both main dealers and marque specialists, this car has been quite well kept over the years and benefits from a recent major service. Unlike Ferraris of today, in the era of the 550 Maranello, there weren’t many options available on the car’s exterior in the way of extra carbon fiber or deviating colors. This specification is very nice and subdued- as a 550 Maranello, it should be in its dark gray finish with the standard 5-spoke wheels, black brake calipers, and no fender shields up front. Moving inside, black leather covers both front seats, the center console, the dashboard, and the steering wheel- and on this car, it is all in fantastic condition. What makes the Maranello so sought after is that it is truly the last car to come out of the Ferrari factory with a “vintage” feel to it- no big screens, a bevy of analog gauges, and the legendary gated manual shifter right in the center of the vehicle. The interior of this car has been kept to a very high standard over the years and shows minimal wear on the seats, and the leather on both the steering wheel and dashboard is free of any bubbling or pulling. Also worth noting, this example includes a full set of Schedoni fitted luggage in black leather that fits perfectly in the trunk. Powering the 550 Maranello is a 5.5 liter V12 with dual overhead cams and 4-valves per cylinder rated at 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. This engine is known to be one of the more dependable engines to come out of Ferrari and does not require engine-out servicing like the mid-engine cars of the same time period. That being said, this car was treated to a full cambelt service before leaving Italy in April 2022 which also included new spark plugs, timing belt bearings and tensioners and new rear shock absorbers. In all 550s, the only available gearbox is a 6-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. Starting with the 575M in 2002, the F1 gearbox became the almost universal choice for front-engine V12 Ferraris, making the 550 truly the end of the classic era of Ferrari. Now that the 550 Maranello is more than 25 years old, it can easily be imported from Europe and registered in most states. For advice on registration, please talk to an Issimi sales representative who will be able to guide you through the proces. This 550 Maranello is a beautiful example of one of Ferrari’s greatest front engine-V12 grand touring cars and is bound to only become more desirable as the years go along. 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Overview For two short years in 1971 and 1972, Ferrari produced the 365 GTC/4, a 2+2 grand tourer based on the chassis and drivetrain of the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona”. Under the hood was a 4.4 L Tipo F 101 AC 000 Colombo V12 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that put out 335 hp. Rather than a transaxle setup like the Daytona, the 5-speed transmission was bolted directly to the engine, giving the 365 GTC/4 a near-perfect 51:49 weight distribution. US export models received three-point seat belts, side markers, and numerous engine modifications to comply with Federal emission standards, including air injection, a carbon, and a different exhaust system which lowered the engine output to 316 hp. Only 505 examples were built over the car’s two-year production span. Today, the GTC/4 stands as the more elegant and manageable younger sibling of the infamous Daytona. With a dramatically more street-worthy nature, the GTC/4 has the looks of the much pricier Daytona while being far more pleasant and comfortable to use on a daily basis. Pricing on the GTC/4 has been very solid over the last 5 years while continually trending in a positive direction. Having driven both extensively, we feel that the GTC/4 is overall undervalued given the fantastic V12 experience it provides in addition to its timeless good looks, and we see ample room for increased future value. This particular example, 101AC101147745, was originally one of just 15 GTC/4s finished in Verde Medio Niyinsky Italver, a striking bright green color with a Beige Connolly leather interior. It was delivered new in 1971 to official dealer M. Gastone Crepaldi Automobili S.a.s., domiciled at Via San Marco 26 in Milan, Italy. It was sold to its first owner, Mr. Alberto Tollentino, a resident of Milan, Italy. In 1976, it was exported from Italy to the United States at which time it was also repainted dark red first, and then in 1977, repainted again to blue metallic. It was then offered for sale by Ferrari of Los Gatos in Los Gatos, CA, in 1978 and again in 1988 with a reported 18,875 miles on the odometer. The car was then purchased by a new owner out of New York and repainted black, and later that same year, it was yet again offered for sale by Berlinetta Motorcars in Huntington Station, NY. Two years later, in 1990, the Ferrari was offered for sale by Tim Stanford Foreign Cars out of Fort Lauderdale, FL, with a reported 19,500 miles on the odometer. It remained in Florida for the next three years, where it was offered for sale by the same owner in 1991, 1992, and 1993 before it eventually exchanged hands in 1993 with 19,847 miles on the odometer. Following a six-year ownership in Miami, FL, this GTC/4 was offered for sale in 1999 to a fellow Floridian who owned the car for the next seven years. It made its way to Motorcar Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on July 2006 and was reportedly freshly serviced before being listed. It was purchased in August by it’s next owner out of Mars, PA, who continued owning the car for the next five years. The Ferrari made its rounds on eBay in late 2011 and early 2012. It was described as having undergone a bare metal Rosso Cordoba respray with a new Interior, re-chromed trim, engine detail, freshened camshaft by Web Cam Inc, rebuilt carburetors, starter, alternator, AC system, and brake booster. Sometime in mid to late 2012, it was purchased by its next owner out of Charlotte, NC, which is when the service records on file begin. Throughout this ownership, the car was mostly serviced at Automotive International of Charlotte, NC. In August of 2012, it received a brake system flush, cleaned wiper assembly, as well as some minor interior electrical repairs. It returned in October of the same year for further minor services that included an inoperative heat fan and a broken fuel enrichment system. A new window switch and lighter plug were installed along with new headlamps in August of 2013 by the same shop. A new ignition coil was installed in June 2014 to correct an intermittent ignition issue, and new engine mounts were also installed. The passenger wiper was repaired in March of 2015 due to a broken wiper arm post shaft, the voltage regulator was rebuilt, and the rear right wheel bearing was replaced. In May of 2015, new ignition boxes were installed along with the corresponding wiring and ignition coils. A couple of small holes in an exhaust were repaired as well. The car would exchange hands again in 2018, where it ended up with its current owner and consignor, who is a good friend and enthusiast. Being very knowledgeable about the workings of cars, he completed a number of maintenance items on his own, which included having the brake booster and master cylinder rebuilt, replacing the spark plug wires with factory-correct ones, replacing the fuel and vacuum hoses, balancing and tuning the carbs, and replacing the fluids and oil in 2020 then again in 2022. On June 16th, 2019, this GTC/4 was shown at ‘Eyes on Design,’ in Grosse Pointe Shores, MI, where it won a Blue Ribbon and the Designer’s Choice Award. As it sits, this is a well-sorted and very correct example of one of Ferrari’s most underrated V12 grand touring machines. High-speed and long-distance driving are what this car was built for, and its lengthy service history will allow its future owner to enjoy it to its full potential. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original toolkit, owner’s manual, and all service and history records on file. In addition, we are working on getting a Massini report for the car, which will be uploaded to the listing and included in the sale as well. The Details EXTERIOR Body And Paint The body shows straight original panels with good gaps throughout and no issues to speak of. The fitment of body panels appears to be factory correct. The paint, while not original, has wonderful depth and shine throughout and presents very nicely. Outside of very minor blemishes on the headlight covers, there is slight bubbling on the rear window surrounds as well as a ½ inch scratch on the driver’s side fender near the windshield. Glass And Trim The glass appears to be all original and free of any major blemishes. The trim and brightwork are all present and in very good condition with no nicks or scratches, and the rubber is deep black with no cracks. The front bumper rubber is very smooth with only minor aging but it looks consistent with the rest of the car. Wheels The wheels are in great condition on all four corners, with only the center lugnuts showing some abrasion. Notable Flaws Overall this GTC/4 presents extremely well. The only real items to note are some slight bubbling on the rear window surrounds as well as a ½ inch scratch on the driver’s side fender near the windshield. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The seats, which have been redone, are in good condition. The driver’s side is a bit more worn than the passenger side, which is to be expected. There is some discoloration on the seat bottom but other than that, they are in fantastic shape. The felt-lined dash is in fantastic condition. All the chrome surrounds are still bright and shiny, with no haziness present. Functionality And Accessories Everything in the cabin works properly as it should. All switches for the lights, fans, and window switches work without issue. All gauges operated correctly during our time driving the car. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay presents remarkably clean and correct. Following its recent detail, the engine bay looks great, with all the hoses deep and dark with no cracking and the wires neatly tucked. All factory stickers and markings are present as well. There are no signs of any issues, past or present, and it appears the car has been kept under careful ownership, with maintenance and correctness being of high priority. Trunk Area The trunk area is clean and tidy, with the original full Ferrari tool kit present at the back. Lifting up the floor reveals the full-sized spare as well. Underside The underside is clean and dry, with no odd leaks present. No rust or oxidation to note either. MECHANICALS Engine The engine starts easily, runs strong with little to no smoke once warm, and sounds fantastic. It feels powerful with a good throttle response. A healthy exhaust note emanates from the rear of the car, and the engine stays cool under use, showing strong oil pressure and temperature. Transmission The car shifts easily with good synchros tested from our drive out to photograph the car. Brakes And Suspension The brakes bite when prompted with no warping, fading, or pulling of any kind. The suspension is excellent with quick, tight turn-in, supplely absorbing bumps while still firm during cornering. Tires The tires are the proper Michelin XWX and appear to be from 2012. Despite their age, they show solid side walls and ample tread. 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

This exceptional Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lovingly maintained by its most recent custodian, who has spared no expense during his 10-year ownership. It is beautifully presented in Signal Red and retains its original factory paint – something of a rarity for this shade. The fact that it has not been resprayed or had its panels removed shows up in the precise factory-spec panel gaps all around. Sold new as a right-hand-drive, UK-market car, it features an immaculate Black and Charcoal cloth interior, and its service book features a wealth of original stamps – testament to how well it’s been looked after throughout its life. During the past 10,000 miles, it has benefitted from regular maintenance by The SL Shop. Along the way, items such as the anti-roll bar bushes and engine mounts have been replaced, and a major service in 2023 included repairs to the exhaust, fresh brake fluid following a pressure-flush of the system, and the steering box being refurbished. Later that year, the owner instructed The SL Shop to prepare this 300SL to the very highest standards, after which it was carefully placed into storage and not driven. In July 2024, it returned to The SL Shop for an oil service, meaning that it’s now ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner. Even before its recent show-standard preparation, this was a concours-winning car, having regularly won its class and been awarded ‘Car of the Show’ at an event in which it beat 500 other entrants. It has always been praised by concours judges for its original condition, and only the stereo has been updated. The new Blaupunkt unit echoes the look of the period radio but features modern DAB functionality. Well sorted and prepared to the very highest standard, this Mercedes-Benz 300SL has been lightly but regularly driven over the past decade and fastidiously maintained regardless of annual mileage. It is now being offered for sale by its enthusiast owner purely due to a house move, and comes with its original warranty card, owner’s manual, service book and the UK-specific sales/service book – as well as the original factory data card. A stylish and supremely reliable choice of classic roadster, it must be one of the very best examples currently on the market. 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL The Classic Motor Hub If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
