It all began in the 1960’s. Jaguar unveiled a breed of racers that would come to define an era - the E-Type. Among the twelve remarkable specimens created, three would undergo a transformative evolution, earning the collective title of Low Drag Coupes. Among these three legends, "49FXN" emerged as the chosen one, capturing the imagination of mastermind Marco Diaz. Assisted by the surviving members of the original team, including the esteemed aerodynamicist Dr. Samir Klat, and armed with a treasure trove of archival treasures such as original blueprints, documents, and rare photographs, Diaz embarked on a quest to breathe new life into the spirit of "49 FXN." As the journey unfolded, two resplendent chassis took shape. One was christened "OWL226," the sole left-hand-drive incarnation of this masterpiece. The other, known by the moniker "13FXN," now graces the hallowed grounds of Goodwood, racing alongside its elder E-Type siblings. Under the hood of OWL226 roars a 3.8-liter LWE Inline-6 engine, outfitted with precision components courtesy of Croswaithe & Gardiner. With an engine handcrafted by the artisans at Ed Pink Racing Engines and a chassis/suspension meticulously fashioned by RS Panels and Croswaithe & Gardiner, it's a potent blend of heritage and performance. This automotive symphony rides on custom Koni shocks and 15-inch magnesium wheels, proving that one need not compromise comfort and style when crafting an automotive masterpiece. However, the true magic unfolds within the cabin. Diaz's vision, guided by an unwavering commitment to excellence, transcends the utilitarian roots of the originals, which were built for the racetrack with little regard for opulence. In a remarkable departure from the norm, Diaz elevates the interior to an unprecedented realm of luxury and sophistication. Virtually every interior component, from the seats to the headliner and door panels, is an artisanal creation, meticulously handcrafted to perfection. The pièce de résistance, however, is the incorporation of switches salvaged from RAF fighter planes, infusing a touch of history and nostalgia into every drive. The acclaim bestowed upon "OWL226" since its debut at the 2019 Quail Gathering speaks volumes. Featured in illustrious publications like the Wall Street Journal and Finish Line, this is more than just an automobile; it's a testament to the dedication, expertise, and artistry of individuals who have mastered their respective crafts. It's the harmonious convergence of history, innovation, and unrelenting pursuit of perfection – a masterpiece reborn for the ages.

For decades Ferrari enthusiasts have sought coachbuilt front engine V12 cars that can be driven with friends and family members as part of the joy of ownership. The spirit of casual use however has dramatically changed as values have rapidly escalated resulting in sequestering one-off designs and coachbuilt examples to museums or private collections limited to static viewing. Yet a select few enthusiasts have more recently taken a different approach to suit this challenge. By engaging contemporary coachbuilders with similar build commissions as the original, modern iterations of specialized tribute cars have emerged in celebration of these venerable 250 series cars. Such is the case with this cleverly conceived and beautifully constructed one-off Ferrari 250 GT Speciale. Commissioned by David Rose, this one-of-a-kind Ferrari Speciale was constructed in tribute to the original 1957 250 GT (s/n 0725) built by Ferrari for HRH Prince Bernhard van Lippe-Biesterfeld of the Netherlands, a close friend of Enzo Ferrari. The prince commissioned and owned the car which was originally finished in black with a green interior, subsequently changing colors in later ownership to maroon and then dark blue with tan leather interior when it was restored more recently by Paul Russel. David Rose began his life-long career with cars early in his life, beginning as a member of a small California-based race team in the 1960s. With his passion for cars growing, he opened GTB Motors in San Rafael, CA to offer a wide range of performance cars, quickly establishing a focus on Ferraris. This operation remained active from 1971-1974 until Rose moved the business to San Diego, changing the name to Ferrari of San Diego, CA where he offered exclusive access to some of the most legendary Ferraris of the century. By the 1980s, the dealership blossomed to become the second largest Ferrari dealer in the US, changing the name to Ferrari of La Jolla, CA for a brief period of time before the same establishment returned to the name it still carries today - Ferrari of San Diego. As a prominent dealer, Rose became close friends with Enzo owning many Ferraris including the one-off Ferrari Superfast 1 (s/n 0483). Over the years buying and selling some of the very best examples of the 250, 275, 330, and later 365 series cars, Rose began to imagine his own Speciale built to the same exacting standards of Italian coachbuilt excellence he’d witnessed in the one-off or limited production cars he’d offer to customers. Although the dream to construct this car would linger with Rose for some years, he eventually brought his dream to reality purchasing a 1970 Ferrari 365 2+2 from Copley Motorcars, Needham, MA on April 16, 2010. Under prior ownership invoices accompanying the car cover services provided by Boston Sportscar Co. from 1999 through 2009, spanning 43,000-47,638 miles, tending to numerous mechanical systems including rebuilding the engine (2000), a new clutch, rebuilding the rear suspension, new cooling fans, new rear shock load levelers, and air conditioning service, totaling over $60,000 before the build commenced. In 2010, the car was transported to Allen Buresh, owner of Coachsmithing, located in Blair, WI. The car was stripped to bare factory metal, the entire interior removed, and all trim, components, and exterior features removed. The 365 2+2 production body skin was carefully removed from the supporting inner structure, retaining critically important structural inner wheel housings, the entire chassis with stock suspension mounts, inner door frame and door strike structure, the entire cowl structure and windshield frame, and engine compartment structure. These key structural components were the basis for the new body shell which would be hand formed and mated to the original structure, unifying the body/chassis platform with the new tribute 250 Speciale body. The body panels were constructed entirely from aluminum alloy sheet material, hand formed using traditional coachbuilding methods much like the original in 1957 using wood hammer forming bucks to create the curves and transitions from the long front fenders through the new door panels and rear fenders which formed the convertible body, trunk, and unique removable hardtop. A new metal dashboard was also hand formed around two large gauges and four smaller offset gauges. Careful attention was given to details such as the hood and hood scoop, polished aluminum front fender side vents, a wide Ferrari grille, handmade bumpers, and uniquely sculpted taillights. As an added feature, the car was designed to retain the same unique roofline of the 1957 original design while making the entire roof removable to transform it into an open touring car. The roof was carefully constructed to create an accurate trailing roof line with a distinct fastback look when in place, but to also reveal an elegant convertible when removed. All surrounding trim for the roof perimeter was hand formed in aluminum and polished to replicate the original. During construction, the decision was made to incorporate more refined front bumper treatment than the vertical uprights originally used in the Prince Bernhard Speciale. A pair of thin horizontal chrome bumpers were fabricated and fit to the front corners under the enclosed headlights. Every aspect of the body design and details without exception was touched by expert hands creating custom pieces including the specially-toled and curved windshield (safety glass) and specially-toled 2.5mm side safety glass panels. For the interior, every detail was carefully constructed including tan leather applied to low profile bucket seats, period correct door panels, a central hinged armrest, and the central tunnel housing the 5-speed manual gearbox. Correct light colored carpets were trimmed and fit to the floor, while the dashboard, dropdown panel to the central console, and upper door trim were finished in black leather consistent with period construction. The trunk was also finished with matching carpet and black rear bulkhead. After seven years of painstaking construction and half a million dollars of documented invoices detailing every aspect of handcrafted coachwork, the car was nearly complete by late 2017 when David Rose sadly passed away. Though having achieved his vision and seeing it through to a very high standard, fate handed the completion to his brother who continued the project, completing the final touches in keeping with David’s original vision. The car has been retained by the family estate in a private collection and in September 2024 was serviced by Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis & Co. tending to the rear air suspension system, servicing gauges and lighting, installing a new clutch cable and custom support mechanism, tuning the carburetors, checking the electrical and charging system, new spark plugs, a compression test returning 165-175 across all 12 cylinders, and test driving the car to ensure proper operation. Having been in storage since completion and only revealed to specialty fabrication shops and service specialists, this beautiful Ferrari 250 Speciale Tribute is ready to debut at any major concours event, Ferrari Club gathering, or private showing. This exceptional example of coachbuilt artistry, vision, and conceptual fortitude is offered to the next fortunate owner on consignment from the estate of the owner. Today this beautiful Ferrari 250 Speciale exhibits all the grace and presence of an original coachbuilt Italian performance car. With desirable operational features and venerable drivetrain from the powerful 365 GT 2+2, the car is both a pleasure to view and drive. The red paint is excellent with consistent coverage and vivid gloss throughout the hand formed body with minor paint chafing noted in one area of the hood edge where the hood fit will need adjustment and minor refinishing. Panel fit is exceptional, owing to the craftsmanship offered over seven years of careful construction. The doors exhibit crisp closures while the hood and trunk open and shut properly. The exterior chrome is in excellent condition, while the trim and emblems are nicely finished and detailed. The polished aluminum 15” Borrani wire wheels and chrome plated knock-offs are in good condition, though the outer spoke deck for rims will benefit from removal of aging clear coat residue. The wheels are fit with new Pirelli Cinturato P205 R15 tires showing ample tread remaining. The lighting and lenses are all very nicely preserved with excellent clear polish to the headlight covers and beautifully formed taillight lenses and perimeter trim. The custom molded glass and surrounding polished aluminum trim are in excellent condition. In all, the elegant Pininfarina inspired coachwork presented in this unique one-off Speciale captures the grace, presence, and majesty of the Ferrari 250 legend. The tan leather interior has been properly maintained over the past seven years since completion, currently displaying supple leather surfaces, correct design, and stitching which accurately reflects the heritage of this specially constructed Ferrari. The handmade dashboard and Veglia gauges are beautifully presented exhibiting excellent color, clarity, and bright contrasting numeric indication. The black leather covered dashboard is in excellent condition, draping downward into the center console, which features venting for the air conditioning and outside air, electric window switches, and the highly desirable 5-speed manual shifter. Although this car is outfitted with air conditioning, the system is not currently operational. The wood rimmed steering wheel is beautifully finished accented by aluminum hub and spokes and Cavalino center emblem. The headliner, door panels, and finished rear bulkhead compartment are very well done delivering an overall visual appearance of luxury materials and vintage style in keeping with the era. Although originally designed as a 2+2, this Speciale was constructed as a two-seat configuration, with the rear cowl covering the space behind the seats as a finished storage area. The light-colored carpet shows mild signs of use consistent with lighter colors that tend to show use more readily than darker tones. The trunk compartment is carpeted in matching colors and remains in generally good overall condition. Throughout the interior, a range of delicate and refined switches, handles, interior components, and details have been addressed with thoughtful considerations using original Ferrari elements. The removable roof is detachable from the rear and is recommended as a two-person operation, released from mating sections at the windshield header. Though the side glass weatherstripping has not been installed to the side window recesses in the hardtop roof, ample spare weatherstrip material is included with the car which should complete this portion of the inner window trim. Under the hood, the original matching numbers engine delivers a very satisfying visual impression, with correct factory finishes and tidy presentation. Features include correct hoses, lines, and fasteners, as well as a correct air cleaner, correct black textured cam covers, twin distributors, and factory accessories. While the engine compartment has not been prepared to concourse show level, and some finishes show signs of age, the engine and engine compartment can be enjoyably displayed at any local car event with confidence and pride. The underside of the car is generally clean and well-tended with no visual evidence of structural compromise. The car starts easily and settles into a smooth idle while warming to operating temperatures. Gentle blips of the throttle reveal crisp V12 sounds and sonorous exhaust from the quad-tipped rear exit pipes. Behind the distinctive Nardi steering wheel, the car provides excellent power, pulling far more than a traditional 250 from the original era. The gearbox and clutch work well together, braking is very good overall, and the suspension delivers balanced results consistent with manners found in 365 2+2 GT models of this period. This Ferrari is accompanied by copies of extensive build invoices, accounting for all expenses and services, a new set of inner tubes for the Pirelli tires, spare carpet for various sections of the car, spare interior materials and padding, linear feet of weatherstripping suitable for finishing the side glass seals on the hardtop edges, various loose hardware and smaller trim pieces, a spare can of matching red paint, a knock off spanner, the original Ferrari serial number plates, owner’s manual, and a Cavalino horn button. This Ferrari 250 GT Speciale Tribute offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a coveted design from the most desirable period of Ferrari V12 history. Delivering performance and luxury in an exclusive one-off coachbuilt design, this dynamic tribute can be experienced as both a closed and open car simply by removing the roof. This beautiful Ferrari is poised for final refinement as a superb candidate for future club events, tours, or enjoyable driving just as intended when conceived by one of the foremost west coast purveyors of Ferraris in the 20th century as a lasting tribute to the genius of Enzo Ferrari, the brilliance of Pininfarina, and the ongoing skills, patronage, and artistry of modern coachbuilding. 1970 Ferrari 250 GT Speciale Tribute Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The roof was carefully constructed to create an accurate trailing roof line with a distinct fastback look when in place, but to also reveal an elegant convertible when removed. All surrounding trim for the roof perimeter was hand formed in aluminum and polished to replicate the original. During construction, the decision was made to incorporate more refined front bumper treatment than the vertical uprights originally used in the Prince Bernhard Speciale. A pair of thin horizontal chrome bumpers were fabricated and fit to the front corners under the enclosed headlights. Every aspect of the body design and details without exception was touched by expert hands creating custom pieces including the specially-toled and curved windshield (safety glass) and specially-toled 2.5mm side safety glass panels. For the interior, every detail was carefully constructed including tan leather applied to low profile bucket seats, period correct door panels, a central hinged armrest, and the central tunnel housing the 5-speed manual gearbox. Correct light colored carpets were trimmed and fit to the floor, while the dashboard, dropdown panel to the central console, and upper door trim were finished in black leather consistent with period construction. The trunk was also finished with matching carpet and black rear bulkhead. After seven years of painstaking construction and half a million dollars of documented invoices detailing every aspect of handcrafted coachwork, the car was nearly complete by late 2017 when David Rose sadly passed away. Though having achieved his vision and seeing it through to a very high standard, fate handed the completion to his brother who continued the project, completing the final touches in keeping with David’s original vision. The car has been retained by the family estate in a private collection and in September 2024 was serviced by Ferrari expert Patrick Ottis & Co. tending to the rear air suspension system, servicing gauges and lighting, installing a new clutch cable and custom support mechanism, tuning the carburetors, checking the electrical and charging system, new spark plugs, a compression test returning 165-175 across all 12 cylinders, and test driving the car to ensure proper operation. Having been in storage since completion and only revealed to specialty fabrication shops and service specialists, this beautiful Ferrari 250 Speciale Tribute is ready to debut at any major concours event, Ferrari Club gathering, or private showing. This exceptional example of coachbuilt artistry, vision, and conceptual fortitude is offered to the next fortunate owner on consignment from the estate of the owner. Today this beautiful Ferrari 250 Speciale exhibits all the grace and presence of an original coachbuilt Italian performance car. With desirable operational features and venerable drivetrain from the powerful 365 GT 2+2, the car is both a pleasure to view and drive. The red paint is excellent with consistent coverage and vivid gloss throughout the hand formed body with minor paint chafing noted in one area of the hood edge where the hood fit will need adjustment and minor refinishing. Panel fit is exceptional, owing to the craftsmanship offered over seven years of careful construction. The doors exhibit crisp closures while the hood and trunk open and shut properly. The exterior chrome is in excellent condition, while the trim and emblems are nicely finished and detailed. The polished aluminum 15” Borrani wire wheels and chrome plated knock-offs are in good condition, though the outer spoke deck for rims will benefit from removal of aging clear coat residue. The wheels are fit with new Pirelli Cinturato P205 R15 tires showing ample tread remaining. The lighting and lenses are all very nicely preserved with excellent clear polish to the headlight covers and beautifully formed taillight lenses and perimeter trim. The custom molded glass and surrounding polished aluminum trim are in excellent condition. In all, the elegant Pininfarina inspired coachwork presented in this unique one-off Speciale captures the grace, presence, and majesty of the Ferrari 250 legend. The tan leather interior has been properly maintained over the past seven years since completion, currently displaying supple leather surfaces, correct design, and stitching which accurately reflects the heritage of this specially constructed Ferrari. The handmade dashboard and Veglia gauges are beautifully presented exhibiting excellent color, clarity, and bright contrasting numeric indication. The black leather covered dashboard is in excellent condition, draping downward into the center console, which features venting for the air conditioning and outside air, electric window switches, and the highly desirable 5-speed manual shifter. Although this car is outfitted with air conditioning, the system is not currently operational. The wood rimmed steering wheel is beautifully finished accented by aluminum hub and spokes and Cavalino center emblem. The headliner, door panels, and finished rear bulkhead compartment are very well done delivering an overall visual appearance of luxury materials and vintage style in keeping with the era. Although originally designed as a 2+2, this Speciale was constructed as a two-seat configuration, with the rear cowl covering the space behind the seats as a finished storage area. The light-colored carpet shows mild signs of use consistent with lighter colors that tend to show use more readily than darker tones. The trunk compartment is carpeted in matching colors and remains in generally good overall condition. Throughout the interior, a range of delicate and refined switches, handles, interior components, and details have been addressed with thoughtful considerations using original Ferrari elements. The removable roof is detachable from the rear and is recommended as a two-person operation, released from mating sections at the windshield header. Though the side glass weatherstripping has not been installed to the side window recesses in the hardtop roof, ample spare weatherstrip material is included with the car which should complete this portion of the inner window trim. Under the hood, the original matching numbers engine delivers a very satisfying visual impression, with correct factory finishes and tidy presentation. Features include correct hoses, lines, and fasteners, as well as a correct air cleaner, correct black textured cam covers, twin distributors, and factory accessories. While the engine compartment has not been prepared to concourse show level, and some finishes show signs of age, the engine and engine compartment can be enjoyably displayed at any local car event with confidence and pride. The underside of the car is generally clean and well-tended with no visual evidence of structural compromise. The car starts easily and settles into a smooth idle while warming to operating temperatures. Gentle blips of the throttle reveal crisp V12 sounds and sonorous exhaust from the quad-tipped rear exit pipes. Behind the distinctive Nardi steering wheel, the car provides excellent power, pulling far more than a traditional 250 from the original era. The gearbox and clutch work well together, braking is very good overall, and the suspension delivers balanced results consistent with manners found in 365 2+2 GT models of this period. This Ferrari is accompanied by copies of extensive build invoices, accounting for all expenses and services, a new set of inner tubes for the Pirelli tires, spare carpet for various sections of the car, spare interior materials and padding, linear feet of weatherstripping suitable for finishing the side glass seals on the hardtop edges, various loose hardware and smaller trim pieces, a spare can of matching red paint, a knock off spanner, the original Ferrari serial number plates, owner’s manual, and a Cavalino horn button. This Ferrari 250 GT Speciale Tribute offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a coveted design from the most desirable period of Ferrari V12 history. Delivering performance and luxury in an exclusive one-off coachbuilt design, this dynamic tribute can be experienced as both a closed and open car simply by removing the roof. This beautiful Ferrari is poised for final refinement as a superb candidate for future club events, tours, or enjoyable driving just as intended when conceived by one of the foremost west coast purveyors of Ferraris in the 20th century as a lasting tribute to the genius of Enzo Ferrari, the brilliance of Pininfarina, and the ongoing skills, patronage, and artistry of modern coachbuilding.

SUMMARY A fabulous example of the Ferrari-powered Fiat Coupé from the '70s finished in glorious Azzuro Mettallizato with a black leather interior. DESCRIPTION Offered here is a beautiful Fiat Dino that was delivered new to its first owner in Koblenz, Germany on 8th March 1972. This, second-series example features the larger 2.4-litre 180bhp Ferrari engine from the Dino 246 with triple carburettors and a ZF 5-speed gearbox as standard. Our vendor personally sourced, imported and correctly UK-registered this Fiat Dino in 2019 to become part of his Collection. It was carefully selected as the body had been recently professionally painted in striking Azzuro Metallizzato and the nicely detailed, black leather interior was also in excellent condition. Once back in the UK, the Fiat looked good and performed well but didn’t quite meet our vendor's high standards, so the decision was made to begin a schedule of works to have the underside of the car completely refinished. This work was conducted by one of the UK’s best authorities on Italian sports cars of this era, and detailed photographs along with invoices evidence the work carried out. The engine was checked and fully serviced, and the suspension, steering, fuel and braking systems completely overhauled. Some modern features were added for safety and reliability including electronic ignition and new alloy wheels. The original Cromodora wheels are included in the sale and were replaced with Superformance Cromodora-style alloys fitted with brand new period-style Pirelli Cinturato tyres. The result of this extensive overhaul is a Fiat Dino that fires on-the-button, sounds very healthy and performs extremely well, and is now beautifully preserved for another 50 years of enjoyable motoring. Accompanying the Fiat is a history file including invoices and paperwork from Europe, Fiat handbooks, owners manuals, old registration paperwork, all invoices for works conducted in the UK, current V5C ready for transfer or export and, although exempt, the car is offered with a clean MOT Certificate to July 2023. A Ferrari-powered, Bertone-styled Fiat Coupé from the 1970s, all Italian with huge character and an interesting back story, makes this a fabulous sports car in which to arrive at any classic car event.

As Italy emerged from the ravages of war, government support for industrial growth was in full swing. In 1950 when Alfa Romeo launched their all-new unit bodied 1900 series, unprecedented demand for the innovative and stylish car immediately propelled Alfa Romeo into larger more profitable markets. By 1953 technical and performance improvements resulted in the 1900 becoming a force to be reckoned with at the racetrack, successfully challenging more powerful and vastly more expensive cars. The newly developed dual overhead cam alloy-head four cylinder offered hemispherical combustion chambers, dual carburetors, and a floor shift five speed gearbox. Alfa Romeo boasted success in the Targa Florio, the Stella Alpina and the Coupe des Alpes to name a few. Many of the finest Italian coachbuilders designed and built bodies for the 1900 in a wide range of configurations. Ultimately the rarest and most desirable of this series would become the Zagato Berlinetta. Originally conceived as a singular example, in 1954 Elio Zagato rebodied the short wheelbase 1900C hand forming a lightweight aluminum body over the steel structure. This unique design resulted in a lower profile upper, fastback roof line, and low-profile stance. In addition to the light alloy body, plexiglass was used for the side and rear windows, no front or rear bumpers were mounted, and minimal trim decorated only the necessary air intakes. The low-profile hood and dramatically dipped nose created a smaller frontal cross section for better air flow and a menacing face when closing in on competitors. The offset hood scoop allowed faster air flow to the twin Weber carburetors and the distinctive double bubble roof offered more space for taller drivers and added to the muscular presence of this capable car. Zagato’s Sant Ambroeus competition division, one of the most successful Italian racing concerns during the golden age of motorsports, campaigned the prototype earning the attention of Alfa Romeo. Recognizing both the visual and performance value, Alfa Romeo quickly sanctioned limited production by supplying the chassis to Zagato who completed approximately 39 hand-crafted examples by 1956. Once sold to privateer racers, these cars competed in European Sports Car racing events in the over 2-liter class including six examples with entrance at the 1955 Mille Miglia and a Sverige Grand Prix win with Joakim Bonnier at the wheel of his SSZ beating both Porsche and Fiat 8Vs. History of AR1900C01955 According to research supplied by Alfa Romeo model expert Peter Marshall and Italian car expert John de Boer, this Alfa 1900 Zagato is the 23rd of 39 examples built by Zagato and the second car delivered in 1955. Completed in September 1954, the chassis number 01955 coincidentally corresponds to the year of manufacture. Built in mid-series production, the car was crafted with a smooth roof and single intake hood scoop. In March 1955, the first owner, Dr. Vincenzo Fornasari, a preferred client of Zagato, took delivery of this car. Fornasari also owned a Maserati A6G/54 Zagato. In May 1955, Luigi Fornasari, the doctor’s son, entered this car as #415 in the Mille Miglia. The young yet capable Fornasari finished 11th in class and 38th overall, later improving with a 3rd in class (11th overall) at the Bolzano-Mendola, 1st in class (11th overall) at the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo, and 2nd in class (5th overall) at the Stella Alpina. These results were even more impressive considering these victories were largely privately backed against more formidably funded entrants. By early 1959 this 1900C Alfa Romeo was fitted with a double-bubble roof, likely to accommodate a taller driver, and imported to the United States where it came under the ownership of Ernie Mendicki, a well-known performance car dealer, racer, and collector based in Oakland, California. By the 1970s, after passing through the care of Jim Keown, Monterey, CA, the car was acquired by Jim Cesari, a Palo Alto, CA resident and collector active in vintage racing. Mr. Cesari campaigned the car at the Monterey Historics and Sears Point through the late 1970s selling it to Ugo Piccagli, a Texas-based racing enthusiast who participated in European vintage racing events including the 1986 Targa Florio and 1987 Mille Miglia Storica. After Piccaldi’s ownership, the car was acquired by a long-term owner, who displayed it at the Blackhawk Museum, Danville, CA for several years through the early 2000s. By 2016, experts Phil Reilly & Co. Corte Madera, CA tended to the car primarily for mechanical freshening including brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and flywheel, followed by further work in 2022. The current consigning owner purchased the car in 2023 through RM Auctions and has since spent $129,000 in comprehensive mechanical refurbishment including rebuilding the original engine and Weber carburetors as well as rebuilding the gearbox. Further mechanical restoration includes the installation of new front Koni shock absorbers, radiator rebuild and recore, starter rebuild, new water pump, numerous specialty engine components and specialized machining for the head and cylinder liners, differential work, five new Michelin tires, detailed painting and finishing for the engine compartment while the engine and transmission were removed, and further sorting after reinstallation of the rebuilt engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and rear end. Upon completion, the owner participated in various vintage motoring events, including the 2023 Colorado Grand. Highly eligible for the coveted Mille Miglia Retrospective on account of its period participation in the 1955 event, today this rare and desirable Alfa Romeo offers refined mechanical preparation coupled with cosmetic presentation ideal for vintage events without the responsibilities associated with jeweled displays. The paint is smooth and glossy, perfectly suited for driving event participation. The silver finish is accented by Italian flag stripes on the roof and body side sections. The minimal chrome and polished trim, lenses, and exterior details fit properly to the body while the plexiglass windows show signs of use typical in cars that are enjoyed rather than simply displayed. The gloss black painted wire wheels are shod with a new set of Michelin 165 R 400 tires and accented with chrome plated dual ear knock offs embossed with the Alfa Romeo script. The Zagato emblems and pivot-lever door handles are modest elements to the smoothly contoured hand-formed alloy body lines. The interior has been pared down to the essentials but in true Italian style, even competition cars are artfully finished. The dashboard includes an array of five instruments with excellent detail and numbering. A rare, polished aluminum and wood rim flat Nardi steering wheel fronts the instrument binnacle. The black bucket seats are comfortable and well positioned offering ease of entrance and exit and comfort for drivers up to six feet tall with headroom improved due to the double bubble design. A rollbar is fitted along with other more recent safety provisions for modern event use. Overall, the interior exhibits refined craftsmanship and design in keeping with the exterior presentation. Under the hood, the original engine has been verified by the Alfa Romeo Classiche “Certificato Di Origine” confirming the corresponding engine number AR 1308 00891. The engine and engine compartment has benefited from recent restoration and extensive mechanical preparation including various components, hardware, and details all of which have been brought together with mechanical harmony and aesthetic refinement consistent with original features. The textured black castings are uniformly finished, and the Weber carburetors breathe through four polished trumpet stacks topping the intake manifold. The underside of the car exhibits correct mechanical details, proper castings, correct suspension components and various newly fitted brakes and suspension components ensuring ongoing mechanical integrity. The floor is structurally sound and representative of a car that has been cared for by documented owners who have appreciated the rarity of this car while actively sharing it in vintage motoring events. On the road, this 1900 delivers enjoyable spirited Italian performance coupled with the dynamic and rare Zagato coachbuilt body design. Alfa Romeo 1900s are known to be resilient and responsive, but this example will find drivers especially delighted by the performance and ease of use when behind the wheel. The gearbox is smooth and easy to shift, the brakes are consistent for this era, and the handling is surprisingly balanced even at higher speeds. This Berlinetta is accompanied by copies of recent mechanical restoration receipts totaling $129k, a copy of the Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificate verifying the chassis and engine number, a jack, a pair of headlights, a spare rubber shifter boot, and a spare clutch. The 23rd of just 39 examples built, each one uniquely handmade, this Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Zagato represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly event-eligible Alfa Romeo ready to continue the traditions of motoring excellence it began more than half a century ago. Certainly, comparable to other powerhouse Zagato centerpieces found in major collections, the combination of design excellence, historic racing history, original Mille Miglia participation, original engine, and documented provenance presents an ideal vintage sports car for those who admire the very best in Alfa Romeo history. 1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C SS Berlinetta Zagato Fantasy Junction If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

By the 1970s, after passing through the care of Jim Keown, Monterey, CA, the car was acquired by Jim Cesari, a Palo Alto, CA resident and collector active in vintage racing. Mr. Cesari campaigned the car at the Monterey Historics and Sears Point through the late 1970s selling it to Ugo Piccagli, a Texas-based racing enthusiast who participated in European vintage racing events including the 1986 Targa Florio and 1987 Mille Miglia Storica. After Piccaldi’s ownership, the car was acquired by a long-term owner, who displayed it at the Blackhawk Museum, Danville, CA for several years through the early 2000s. By 2016, experts Phil Reilly & Co. Corte Madera, CA tended to the car primarily for mechanical freshening including brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and flywheel, followed by further work in 2022. The current consigning owner purchased the car in 2023 through RM Auctions and has since spent $129,000 in comprehensive mechanical refurbishment including rebuilding the original engine and Weber carburetors as well as rebuilding the gearbox. Further mechanical restoration includes the installation of new front Koni shock absorbers, radiator rebuild and recore, starter rebuild, new water pump, numerous specialty engine components and specialized machining for the head and cylinder liners, differential work, five new Michelin tires, detailed painting and finishing for the engine compartment while the engine and transmission were removed, and further sorting after reinstallation of the rebuilt engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and rear end. Upon completion, the owner participated in various vintage motoring events, including the 2023 Colorado Grand. Highly eligible for the coveted Mille Miglia Retrospective on account of its period participation in the 1955 event, today this rare and desirable Alfa Romeo offers refined mechanical preparation coupled with cosmetic presentation ideal for vintage events without the responsibilities associated with jeweled displays. The paint is smooth and glossy, perfectly suited for driving event participation. The silver finish is accented by Italian flag stripes on the roof and body side sections. The minimal chrome and polished trim, lenses, and exterior details fit properly to the body while the plexiglass windows show signs of use typical in cars that are enjoyed rather than simply displayed. The gloss black painted wire wheels are shod with a new set of Michelin 165 R 400 tires and accented with chrome plated dual ear knock offs embossed with the Alfa Romeo script. The Zagato emblems and pivot-lever door handles are modest elements to the smoothly contoured hand-formed alloy body lines. The interior has been pared down to the essentials but in true Italian style, even competition cars are artfully finished. The dashboard includes an array of five instruments with excellent detail and numbering. A rare, polished aluminum and wood rim flat Nardi steering wheel fronts the instrument binnacle. The black bucket seats are comfortable and well positioned offering ease of entrance and exit and comfort for drivers up to six feet tall with headroom improved due to the double bubble design. A rollbar is fitted along with other more recent safety provisions for modern event use. Overall, the interior exhibits refined craftsmanship and design in keeping with the exterior presentation. Under the hood, the original engine has been verified by the Alfa Romeo Classiche “Certificato Di Origine” confirming the corresponding engine number AR 1308 00891. The engine and engine compartment has benefited from recent restoration and extensive mechanical preparation including various components, hardware, and details all of which have been brought together with mechanical harmony and aesthetic refinement consistent with original features. The textured black castings are uniformly finished, and the Weber carburetors breathe through four polished trumpet stacks topping the intake manifold. The underside of the car exhibits correct mechanical details, proper castings, correct suspension components and various newly fitted brakes and suspension components ensuring ongoing mechanical integrity. The floor is structurally sound and representative of a car that has been cared for by documented owners who have appreciated the rarity of this car while actively sharing it in vintage motoring events. On the road, this 1900 delivers enjoyable spirited Italian performance coupled with the dynamic and rare Zagato coachbuilt body design. Alfa Romeo 1900s are known to be resilient and responsive, but this example will find drivers especially delighted by the performance and ease of use when behind the wheel. The gearbox is smooth and easy to shift, the brakes are consistent for this era, and the handling is surprisingly balanced even at higher speeds. This Berlinetta is accompanied by copies of recent mechanical restoration receipts totaling $129k, a copy of the Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificate verifying the chassis and engine number, a jack, a pair of headlights, a spare rubber shifter boot, and a spare clutch. The 23rd of just 39 examples built, each one uniquely handmade, this Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Zagato represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly event-eligible Alfa Romeo ready to continue the traditions of motoring excellence it began more than half a century ago. Certainly, comparable to other powerhouse Zagato centerpieces found in major collections, the combination of design excellence, historic racing history, original Mille Miglia participation, original engine, and documented provenance presents an ideal vintage sports car for those who admire the very best in Alfa Romeo history.

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.

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.

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.

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.
