- 1957-fiat-abarth-750-record-monza-zagato
Widely considered Italy’s most successful manufacturer of small-displacement sports cars, Carlo Abarth built a remarkable variety of “pocket racers” renowned for their lightweight, nimble handling and thoroughbred pedigree. Abarths were true giant-killers in competition, dominating the small-displacement classes and challenging much larger competitors, especially at hillclimb events and demanding road races such as the Targa Florio. The Fiat-Abarth’s 750 Record Monza was a sporting dual-purpose machine. Based on the rugged Fiat 600 platform and evolved from the wildly successful 750 GT, the 750 Record Monza was in celebration of Abarth’s numerous record-setting endurance runs at the famed Italian Autodromo. Like its predecessor, the car was carefully developed by the Abarth engineers at Torino and bodied by the famed Milanese coachbuilder, Zagato. This Record Monza, chassis number 441205, is believed to be an early example due to its 5 1/4-inch headlights, early red and amber tail lights, and the simple “Z” emblems displayed forward of the doors. The Abarth and Record Monza badges usually placed on the pillar behind the doors were not originally found on this car, nor is there evidence of them having been previously mounted to the body. Early photos and details suggest that this car may have been a factory-built Abarth racecar. As acquired in 1961, it featured twin, offset black racing stripes, racing roundels on the doors, no tail lights in the usual place on the fenders, Plexiglas rear quarter windows, and aluminum-framed Plexiglas door windows. Furthermore, the car was equipped with an 8,600-rpm tachometer with a 6,600-rpm redline and a 180 km/h speedometer. The Abarth also showed the usual signs of racing “bruises” to its aluminum coachwork, while the rear body panel was held on by four bolts for ease of removal. Acquired by the Leonard family of Wakefield, Rhode Island, in 1961, Mr. Leonard’s son, Peter, would drive the sprightly little car, eventually nicknamed “Clyde” by the Leonard family, around the family’s cranberry bog until he acquired his driver’s license. He continued driving the Record Monza until he graduated college in 1969, at which time the car was placed into storage. Eventually, the Abarth was removed from storage and he set about properly restoring it. A correct Fiat 600 block was sourced from marque specialist Mahlon Craft in 1989 and which was rebuilt to 848-cubic-centimeter specification. This included boring the engine to 63 millimeters with a 68-millimeter stroke and fitting a high-lift Abarth billet camshaft, 9.5:1 compression Mondial pistons, and Fiat 850 Sport cylinder head with Beck Arnley/Eaton exhaust and intake valves, amongst others. The cosmetic restoration began in August 1986, with the job moved to Euro Coach Work in November 1992 to complete the comprehensive refurbishment. Just over a decade later, and over $100,000 spent in total, the prized Record Monza was finally ready to be enjoyed. Having been driven and enjoyed in the ensuing 11 years at numerous events throughout Florida, the Abarth was eventually invited to be shown in the Zagato class at the 2014 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Sadly, several years thereafter, and some 4,900 miles since its restoration, Mr. Leonard passed away in 2017. Two years later, it was acquired by the consignor—making him only “Clyde’s” second caretaker since 1961! Truly an irresistible Italian sports car, this 750 Record Monza Zagato eagerly awaits its next steward. Whether on a winding road or in one of the many vintage races, rallies, and tours for which it is eminently suited, you will soon discover that this Fiat-Abarth packs far more charm—and performance!—than its modest footprint and small displacement might at first suggest. 1957 Fiat Abarth 750 Record Monza Zagato RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport 1
Its Portello factory devastated by wartime bombing, Alfa Romeo did not resume car production until 1946 with, inevitably, a pre-war carry-over, the 6C 2500 in a variety of new guises forming the basis of the Milanese marque's post-war recovery. Destined to be the last of the separate-chassis Alfas, the 2500 had debuted in 1939 and was a development of the preceding 2300. Styled in-house but strongly influenced by Touring, the five-seater Freccia d'Oro (Golden Arrow) sports saloon was built alongside coupe and cabriolet versions featuring bodies by the likes of Batista "Pinin" Farina, Touring and Ghia, plus a six/seven-seater Berlina on a longer wheelbase. The Alfa tradition of building driver's cars 'par excellence' was upheld by the 2500, for although the box-section chassis was no longer state-of-the-art, it boasted all-independent suspension, generously-sized brakes, fast-geared steering and an unusually slick, column-mounted gear change. The engine was, of course, the latest version of Alfa's race-developed double-overhead-camshaft 'six', its 2,443cc displacement having been arrived at by enlarging the bore of the 2300. Maximum power ranged from 90bhp in single-carburettor 'Sport' guise to 105bhp in the triple-carburettor Super Sport. Considerably lighter than the saloon, the latter could easily exceed 100mph. The short-wheelbase Super Sport chassis was manufactured until 1951, by which time 383 had been produced with most of these bespoke, hand-built cars being bodied as Superleggera coupes by Touring, whilst the remainder sported Cabriolet coachwork by Pinin Farina. The gorgeous 6C 2500SS on offer here is luxuriously clothed in two-seater cabriolet coachwork by Carrozzeria Pinin Farina. The late 1940s was a period of exceptional creativity for Pinin Farina, the 6C 2500 chassis, especially the Super Sport version, allowing the Italian maestro the freedom to experiment with new lines and design solutions. Indeed, a 6C 2500SS with similar coachwork to that of this car achieved a First Place award at the prestigious Villa d'Este Concours in 1949. Chassis number #915725 was finished by the factory on the 1st February 1949 and dispatched to SALEM in Paris on 4th July that same year. It was brought to England in January 1950 by its then-owner, Colette Lartigue (possibly of the French industrial family), and registered 'NMA 857'. Its third owner, William Hamill a maritime engineer from Scotland, acquired the Alfa in November 1955 and it remained within his family for a number of years, moving to the Midlands a little later. In 1970, the car was bought by Paul Mann, who carried out some refurbishment, including painting it white. He stored it in a warehouse in Birmingham's jewellery quarter for almost 30 years before selling it to its next owner in 2000 who returned it to Scotland. Prior to his ownership, it had not been taxed for the road since June 1967 when the Hamill family sold it. Although complete, the car required a complete restoration, which has been undertaken over a number of years. It was dismantled down to the chassis and the coachwork was stripped to bare metal, exposing Pininfarina's original blue paintwork in the process. The coachwork was found to be in excellent condition and required no repairs in preparation for repainting, which was carried out by Billy Johns at John R Weir in Inverness. All brightwork has either been re-plated or polished by Derby Plating and the interior re-trimmed in the original shade of red leather by Alex Watt & Sons of Perth. The brakes, suspension, cooling and fuel systems, including the mechanical fuel pump, have all been rebuilt, as have the Borrani wire wheels. All wiring has been replaced, with ancillaries and instruments overhauled where necessary. More recently, the engine has had a comprehensive rebuild at Jim Stokes Workshops, the leading UK specialists in 6C/8C engines, and the car has covered very few miles since its completion in 2009. Work undertaken by Jim Stokes included metal-stitched reinforcing of the cylinder block and replacing the head studs with longer ones to provide additional stiffening. New modified con-rods with shell bearings (instead of white metal) and new pistons have been fitted and the main bearings were re-metalled by Gosnay Engineering early on in the restoration process. The cylinder head has been rebuilt with new valves, seats and guides, tappet bases laser-welded and reground, tappet tops reground and DLC coated and the cams have been re-profiled. It was discovered that, because of the design of the oil pick-up from the sump, after a lengthy period of storage the oil pump would not collect enough oil to lubricate the bearings sufficiently so, to resolve this problem, JSW has fitted a 'pre-lube' system which ensures that correct oil pressure is achieved before the starter is engaged. A modern clutch assembly has been fitted also to aid driveability. Subsequently purchased by a significant collector in 2014, this special car has been stored and used very little since. To release its full potential, a recommissioning process may be required to reawaken this supremely elegant and glamorous cabriolet. 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 GT Touring
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. The most recent Veteran MOT dates from June 2019. 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 GT Touring Oldtimer Galerie International GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

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. The most recent Veteran MOT dates from June 2019.

- 1976 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale 1
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.

- 1995 Porsche 993RS
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. 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).

- 1985 BMW 635 Group A
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.

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.

- 1994 Lancia Delta HF Integrale
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. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale 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, serviced, and restored as needed.

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.
