  • 1957-porsche-356-emory-special

    Over a 15 year production period at the Porsche Zuffenhausen factory, the 356 evolved from an aluminium bodied coupe with a 1.1L air-cooled flat four engine, into a four-cam 2.0L Carrera available in both coupe and speedster configurations. The 356 "B" was introduced in 1960 and continued production until 1963 with a host of both cosmetic and mechanical improvements. To comply with US specifications the front and rear bumpers were raised as well as raising the headlight height. Inside a new deep-dish steering wheel could be seen and to improve comfort new deeper front seats were installed. In addition to upgraded brakes, the biggest improvement came with the introduction of the Type 616/7 Super 90 engine. The 1.6L engine was fully revised with a newly designed intake manifold, an uprated Solex 40 carburettor, 9.0-1 compression ratio pistons, stronger valve springs, uprated crankshaft and Carrera air filters. The original 356 and its timeless appeal was more to do with less. Introduced in 1948, it offered a lightweight, slippery body combatted the low power output. Rear-engined and rear wheel drive, it was the first Porsche production car and started the iconic shape that has stood the test of time, through the 911 to the present day. Such was the popularity of the 356 - some 76,000 were built - that over the course of the time, they have been a particular focus for owners to fettle, modify and ‘outlaw’ their cars. In fact the very term ‘Outlaw’ was given to Rod’s father Gary during the 1980s as he was first to push the boundaries of what the 356 could be. After joining the family business, the term ‘Special’ was used for only the most bespoke Emory builds. Safe to say there is a fair bit of experience in the family. Stemming from their Oregon-based workshop, this Special embraces Emory’s expertise, embracing the elegant form of the 1957 356A whilst integrating numerous upgrades. Countless details set this car apart. Emory first started work to remove the drip rails from the roofline, providing a much cleaner aesthetic. Gary’s Outlaw spirit has always been to develop 356s using the ‘best bits’. The bonnet handle was omitted and the car sees body hugging bumpers, a reverse louvred rear deck with competition hinges, a through-hood competition fuel filler and bumper mounted fog lamps. The car runs a 16” two-piece billet wheel design to help with the offset, which, in partnership with the revised geometry of the 911 rear suspension, and a two-inch cut from the top of the re-shaped wheel arches helps the car to look the part, without compromising on the ride. The side mirrors are bespoke and based on those that would have been fitted to that of a 356 GT or 550 Spyder. Both sides of the car see side vents, echoing the design of the 718 RSK; on this car the right-hand side sees the oil cooler, the left-hand side covers the installed fire system. The engine is where this car stands apart from others. In around 1962, Porsche’s chief of engineering Paul Hensler had investigated the feasibility of a 4-cylinder 911 engine and the architecture surrounding it, but there were some limitations of the single overhead-camshaft and limited internal dimensions. Whilst Porsche had never progressed with the idea, several individuals explored this concept. Chuck Beck had developed a cut-down 911 engine for his replica Speedsters but it wasn’t until the 1990s when Dean Polopolous perfected the 6-into-4 solution with his ‘Polo 4’. Re-developing the Polo 4 in house, the Emory-Rothsport ‘Outlaw-4’ is an evolution of this concept. This example sees a 2.6-litre four cylinder using the architecture from a 3.6 litre that powered the far more modern Porsche 964, everything from the pistons, rods and valve train was carried over. A bespoke crankcase and new crankshaft bring it all together and provide this 900kg car with a reliable 260hp. A full-flow oil system with remote filler and coolers is fitted and the twin coil-on-plug ignition is Motec controlled. Unlike the 356 originally, this engine is paired with a 901-sourced aluminium cased 4-speed transmission. Much like the original, it certainly wakes up in the higher rev ranges making for a truly usable and enjoyable driving experience. Braking is covered off with all-round disc brakes with a parking brake and ATE Master cylinder. To support the power, this example sees 901 independent rear suspension with custom-narrowed trailing arms, front and rear anti roll bars and PEP adjustable suspension. Presented in its commissioned specification of gloss black over Cherry leather speedster seats with two-point harnesses. This example further sees a Derrington-style steering wheel, box-weave carpeting including a rear seat delete and the 904 triple gauge dashboard paired with black knobs. Electric air conditioning is a great addition. 1957 Porsche 356 Emory 'Special' D.K. Engineering Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1975 Lancia Stratos to 'Group 4' Specification

    The legendary Lancia Stratos HF is the ultimate rally icon of the 'Group 4' era and changed the face of International Rallying as the first purpose-built rally car in an age of modified production cars. Rather than build the 1,000 units needed to qualify for 'Group 3' and only afterwards apply the allowable 'Group 4' modifications, Lancia committed to building the 500 examples required for 'Group 4' homologation as a thinly disguised rally car for the road. Designed by Marcello Gandini, the Stratos HF ('HF' for High Fidelity) was developed as a collaboration between Lancia and Bertone and was introduced in November 1971 at the Turin Motor Show. It was based around a central steel monocoque with steel front frame legs and box-section rear subframe, carrying lightweight glass fibre doors and hinged ‘clamshells’ at the front and rear. The car was powered by a mid-mounted transverse 2.4-litre Ferrari Dino V6 that Enzo Ferrari only reluctantly agreed to supply, fearing the new car would overshadow his own Dino 246. Stratos bodyshells were built by Bertone at its Grugliasco Works, and then shipped to Lancia for final assembly at Via San Paolo. Homologation for 'Group 4' required that 500 examples be built within a 24 month period but, in real terms, this did not require 500 finished cars, but rather enough chassis and components to complete that number. Production began on 1st July 1972 and only 183 examples were completed by the end of 1974, however the FIA determined that enough components and completed body shells existed to confirm 'Group 4' homologation on 1st October 1974. Body production and final assembly would continue through 1975 and although there is some uncertainty, the best estimate is that Lancia eventually completed 492 examples. The Stratos HF made its competition debut in November 1972 on the Tour de Corse running as a prototype and saw its first successes the following year, with wins on the Tour de France and the Firestone Rally, and a second place at the Targa Florio. With its diminutive size, extraordinary agility and powerful V6, the Stratos quickly established itself as a dominant force in rallying, winning the WRC three years in a row (1974–1976) and firmly established itself as a legend by continuing to win in private hands as late as 1981. This 1975 Lancia Stratos, Chassis #AR0001951, built to 'Group 4' specification, is offered fresh to market after a protracted build period with recent completion after what has been a seven year 'labour of love' by the present Lancia aficionado owner. Not only is the bodyshell genuine, but the majority of the parts that have been utilised are genuine and period specific, being of the correct type and age. The standard of finish is exceptional with a level of detail that is rarely achieved. The original Stratos Stradale shell has been modified to 'Group 4' specification with an integral T45 roll cage and lowered floors to accommodate the taller pilot, even the front, rear and door clams have been sourced and supplied having being produced using the original Italian tooling. With extensive research being carried out over the years, it is clear to see the lengths to which our vendor went in order to present one of the finest Lancia Stratos to come to market in recent years. Motivation is provided by the fully rebuilt Ferrari 246 V6 power unit constructed around a cast-iron block, with Aluminium 'Group 4' heads sitting atop fully balanced internals and breathing through triple 44 IDF downdraft Weber carburettors. The engine is centrally and transversely mounted, providing drive through the 'Group 4' Lancia 5-speed 'dog box' with a dog-leg first gear through to the Schaublin fully rose-jointed rear end with independent McPherson Struts and 'Group 4' alloy hub carriers, all riding on period correct Magnesium Campagnolo- style wheels shod with the correct Pirelli P7 'Corsa' tyres. Retardation is accomplished through AP vented discs with 4-piston Monoblock aluminium calipers. We appreciate that anyone genuinely interested in this car will have lots of technical questions and we have pages and pages of component specification and build details available upon request. Every part of this build has been considered - the right people asked the right questions and the exact components sourced from wherever they could be found - which is why it took seven years. Our vendor was fastidious, possibly even a little obsessive, when it came to this project and that’s why we are keen that interested parties explore it a bit further to appreciate just how much thought and passion has been invested in this beautiful Stratos. Bringing #AR0001951 back to life has been a metamorphosis and we feel that it would be wonderful to see the car on a European rally stage or on the showground or anywhere really, enjoying the admiration always generated when people get a close look at one of these seldom seen WRC-winning rally cars from 50 years ago. 1975 Lancia Stratos to 'Group 4' Specification Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1987-bmw-e28-m5---s38

    This 1987 BMW 5 Series (E28) is a well raced, hugely competitive car well known in BMW circles, having featured in a plethora of magazines and articles. It's visually stunning with the iconic Jägermeister livery perfectly representing the nature of this car. This exceptional vehicle has undergone a remarkable transformation having started life as an E28 520i Lux (D758 SGK) and now fully built up into what you see today, with its E34 M5 S38 six-cylinder heart, tuned and tweaked to produced an impressive 360bhp. A beautiful blend of brute strength and stunning looks, it stands out from the crowd for all the right reasons. This automotive gem earned its stripes with a glorious 5-page feature in the January 2023 issue of Total BMW, solidifying its status as a standout in the world of high-performance cars. Notably, it graced the cover of the 2003 Silverstone BARC Championship Race day Programme and made further appearances in Total BMW (August 2004) and BMW Car Magazine (March 2017). Initially, after its conversion from a fairly uninspiring donor car to a proper racer, it was still able to wear a number plate and drive on the streets, however, it is no longer currently MOT'd or on the road and whilst it currently lacks road legality, its race/track-oriented features are nothing short of extraordinary. Externally, the BMW has a carbon fibre bonnet and boot-lid, 'Group 5' arches and all-steel panels, all fitting very well. With Gaz coil-overs, an E34 M5 LSD and enormous ET11 Wagner-Tuning two-piece, split-rims (9.5" x 16" fronts and 10.5" x 16" rears) wrapped in 245/45/16 and 265/45/16 tyres respectively, grip and traction are phenomenal. The car is powered by the later S38 E34 M5 engine and gearbox, boasting a 6,900rpm 'redline' and with a custom-made stainless steel exhaust system and upgraded engine management, we understand that power output is in the region of 360bhp. The interior is exceptionally well finished, especially for a race car, with a multi-point roll cage, custom Alcantara flocked dash, DigiDash 2 display, a Momo steering wheel and Corbeau bucket seats with 6-point TRS harnesses. Retardation is handled by 750iL brakes wearing EBC Orange Stuff pads and an Accusump oil reservoir prevents surge. The history file makes for very pleasant reading and features some build photos, a plethora of invoices over the years, every MOT for D758 SGK from 1994-2009 and all the magazines in which the car has been featured. A well documented and storied history, meticulously detailed, and built for the top A2 (over 3,601cc) class in Classic Thunder Cars, this 1987 BMW E28 M5 is running and driving beautifully, eligible for plenty of prestigious motorsport events and ready to compete once more. 1987 BMW (E28) 'M5 - S38' Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1990 Ferrari Testarossa

    Pininfarina design, gated manual 5-speed gearbox, and a robust, naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine. This is Ferrari’s signature recipe that has created some of the most iconic and sought-after road cars to date. As we entered the 1980s, it was a truly exciting time in the automotive world as the dawn of the supercar era had arrived. Manufacturers were conjuring up exotic body designs and super-powerful engines for their road cars, to a degree that had never been explored. Lamborghini had come out with the Countach which was unlike anything the car world had seen before, between its massive rear wing, vertically hinged doors, and stunning ascetics. It was pure eye candy that had raw, uncensored power however, Ferrari had an answer for the flashy Lambo.  The Ferrari Testarossa is a name that had not been used since the LeMans winning 250TR. This name represents a significant time for Ferrari as well as a significant racing pedigree, so the expectations for the car were very high. In 1984, the stage was set at the Paris Auto Show, as enthusiasts awaited the unveiling of the new, highly anticipated Testarossa and it did not disappoint. It was an immediate success, as Ferrari went on to produce over 10,000 units. Over the course of the Testarossa life cycle, the car underwent only a few cosmetic changes as well as mechanical ones. Early cars were marked by high-mounted, single mirrors on the driver’s side, and the very latest ones, ditching the pop-up headlights. By 1990, only a few model years before moving onto the 512 TR, the original Testarossa had benefited from 5 lug wheels, catalytic converters, and a new flywheel. Given that the previous years were quite the slam dunk for the engineers in Maranello, you can see why only small tweaks were made over the years. The Testarossa on offer here, chassis # ZFFSG17A1L0083906, is finished in its original Rosso Corsa paint and shows just over 9,100 miles on its original engine, #20898. On October 23rd, 1990 this Testarossa was first taken in by a dealer where 1 year later it’s first real owner purchased the car showing 805 miles on the odometer in 1991. Following that, the first owner enjoyed the car thoroughly, putting 3,297 miles on it over two years. The car seemingly stayed with the original owner until 2009 when it was sold to a dealer in Arkansas with an odometer reading of 8,904. In 2013 a new owner was reported who held onto the car for several years before passing it off to Cauley Ferrari, in West Bloomfield, Michigan in 2017. After arriving at Cauley a full comprehensive inspection of the suspension, electrical system, and all of the glass was carried out, as well as a general service including an oil change was completed. Following the completion of those services, the car was purchased by its current owner, who has sparingly enjoyed this classic red over tan Testarossa.  This example is truly collector grade in every sense of the word with its original paint hardly showing a single knick on the front hood, wheels in perfect original shape, and paint with incredible depth and orange peel throughout. The tan with brown interior presents wonderfully with one scuff near the shifter housing and only minor wear on the driver-side seat as one would expect. Once seated you’re greeted with a perfect driving position and once out onto the road this Testarossa springs to life, with its wonderful 12-cylinder engine and engaging gated 5-speed manual transmission. These days, a mid-engine 12-cylinder Ferrari is a $1,000,000 affair at minimum. Testarossas provide an entry point much cheaper at which that iconic layout can be enjoyed! Included in the sale of this Testarossa are the original manuals, Classiche Certification, and full factory tool set.  1990 Ferrari Testarossa LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce

    When Alfa Romeo unveiled the Giulia Sprint GT in 1963, fans of Italian machinery had reason to rejoice. Boasting pin-sharp styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro, plus a musical twin-cam engine, the 1,290-cc coupé was a mass-market thoroughbred. For those unable to afford a Ferrari or Maserati, the Alfa was a gift from above. In 1966, the feistier 1,570-cc Veloce made its debut. The car offered here is an early example of the type that left Arese on 19 June 1967. Finished in Biancospino with Cuoio interior, the Alfa was dispatched to Reggio Emilia on 11 August and registered in nearby Bologna a month later. Wearing the number “BO 604506”, it remained in Italy for 48 years—including 23 years with an owner from Milan. In 2015, the Alfa passed to Belgium, where it became part of The Curated Collection. Driving lamps and replacement ball joints were fitted when the car arrived, though in more recent years it appears to have been used sparingly. Presented in its factory-correct colour scheme and offered with its expired Italian libretto and factory build data, this Veloce awaits its newest owner for its next chapter. 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1964 Jaguar E-Type Low Drag

    1 of 2 Masterpieces Inspired by the Legendary Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe 3.8L LWE Inline 6 / 380 H.P. 5-Speed Manual Transmission Bespoke Interior with RAF Fighter Jet Switches Titanium Gray Metallic Paint Blue Leather Interior 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.

  • 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti

    DEVELOPMENT OF THE REAR-ENGINE 250 GT It is arguable that amid the tide of mid/rear-placed engine architecture that has steadily advanced in sports car design since the late 1950s, one manufacturer looms larger than all others—Ferrari. Maranello’s embrace of this race-developed design stretches back to Dino Ferrari’s V-6 engine of the late 1950s, which was installed aft of the driver in the Scuderia’s Formula One cars in 1960 to great results. Not long after, Ferrari began to engineer a sports car in this manner, resulting in the sensuous rear-engine 246 SP, the first in a small batch of Sports Prototype racecars with ever-increasing displacements. Despite the continued evolution of the Dino V-6, however, the SP racecars often failed to keep pace with their larger-engined competitors. This prompted Maranello’s engineers to consider a rear-placed V-12, and in early 1963 chassis number 0796, which began life as a 246 SP, was equipped with a 3-liter Colombo short-block engine tuned to Testa Rossa specifications. This was the prototype example of the legendary 250 P racecar, a model that went on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1963. Given the success of the mid/rear placed V-12 in the prototype racer, it was only logical for Ferrari to transition the design to GT class competition. The 250 P was used as the basis for this new berlinetta, which would essentially add a roof to the prototype’s open coachwork. Sergio Scaglietti’s carrozzeria fashioned one of its most acclaimed masterpieces, commencing with the 250 P’s front end and fender treatments, but capping them with a low roof truncated at the rear with flying buttress edges, which then swept down through the racecar’s rear clamshell. The new model was dubbed the 250 LM, for Le Mans, and was officially introduced at the 1963 Paris Salon with chassis number 5149. With such an exotic appearance and competition-tuned performance envelope, the LM was a clear forerunner of the wave of large-displacement rear-engine supercars that soon followed. Considering that the 250 GT engine claimed 10 years of production in its favor, the LM appeared to qualify for FIA homologation by at least one definition, and Ferrari expected nothing less than class dominance to follow. Nevertheless, in an effort to bolster the model’s pretense as a regular roadgoing production car that belonged in GT class racing, Maranello made some trifling efforts to assuage critics, dutifully equipping the cars with horns and spare wheels, and even printing sales brochures. But the FIA’s Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) was not so easily convinced, particularly after Ferrari began installing a more advanced engine in the car, the 3.3-liter Colombo V-12 with dry-sump lubrication that eventually found a more permanent home in the forthcoming 275 GTB road car. The motor rather obviously gave the 250 LM an edge in the GT class, and the CSI accordingly refused to grant the model homologation for production-based racing, reasoning that the new motor exceeded class rules, and an insufficient number of cars had been built. Instead, they approved the 250 LM for entry into the Prototype class alone, where the model’s 3.3-liter engine would be hopelessly outmuscled by large-displacement models like the Ford GT40 and Ferrari’s own P2 Spider. Enzo Ferrari was so angry over the FIA’s decision that he temporarily resigned his entrant’s license in protest, and the factory went on to relatively distance itself from the project, selling most examples to privateers and its principal racing concessionaires, the Scuderia Filipinetti, the Garage Francorchamps, Maranello Concessionaires, and Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team. The 250 LM’s most successful foray in competition undoubtedly occurred at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, where five different examples were entered by an assortment of private teams, including Filipinetti and NART. If there was one undeniable advantage of running a Colombo V-12 in a Prototype class, it was that the engine had been in constant development for over 10 years, ensuring a level of reliability that was elusive for the more powerful prototype racecars. At the close of 24 hours of grueling racing, the NART-entered chassis number 5893 driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt roared to victory, bringing Ferrari its sixth consecutive Le Mans win, and sealing the 250 LM’s legend in the process. Just 32 examples of the mighty 250 LM were built through mid-1966, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferrari models of all time, encapsulating advanced race-engineered mechanicals, sensuous coachwork cues, and a Le Mans-winning pedigree. It should come as little surprise that 250 LM examples are closely treasured by their owners, only seldom being offered in public settings. All of which makes the availability of the featured lot an extremely rare opportunity for passionate Ferrari collectors. CHASSIS NUMBER 6053—A JOURNEY TO LE MANS Claiming period competition use at Le Mans, as well as a no-cost-barred restoration completed in 2021 by Ferrari Classiche, this breathtaking 250 LM is a particularly desirable example of Maranello’s legendary racecar. Chassis number 6053 is the 22nd example built, and after being finished in the iconic 250 LM livery of Rosso Cina over seats trimmed in Bleu cloth upholstery, the car was delivered in October 1964 to Colonel Ronnie Hoare’s Maranello Concessionaires, the well-known marque distributor and factory-preferred privateer client in Great Britain. The Ferrari was sold new to British driver George Drummond, and he immediately set about competition on the local BRSCC circuits while occasionally entering larger events worldwide. Early highlights included a class win at Wiscombe Park in April 1965, and four overall wins over the next four months at Brands Hatch, Snetterton (twice), and Silverstone. In February 1966 the Ferrari was entered at the 24 Hours of Daytona as race #24, to be driven by Innes Ireland, Mike Hailwood, and Drummond. Photos taken at this event demonstrate that by this time, side-marker lights had been mounted high on the door sides. Unfortunately the car was forced to retire after 90 laps with a gearbox failure. Over the following two years, 6053 recorded at least eight more starts, and among these appearances, Ferrari factory driver Michael Parkes took the wheel at the Austrian Grand Prix of September 1966, finishing 3rd in class and 8th overall. Chassis number 6053 continued campaigning local British races before being entered in four events in Africa during November and December 1967, including the Kyalami 9 Hours. Among these races, the LM roared to a 5th-overall finish at the Lourenço Marques 3 Hours in Mozambique. In May 1968 Drummond offered the Ferrari for sale and it was acquired by the London-based Paul Vestey Racing, with whom the car would take its greatest stage. Paul Vestey had been campaigning a different 250 LM, the ex-Maranello Concessionaires-run chassis number 6167. David Piper was driving 6167 on the legendarily difficult Targa Florio when a steering arm came loose, forcing the car to careen over a hillside. Though the chassis and body were beyond repair, the engine and transaxle were easily salvaged by removing both components as one unit, as was common practice with these cars in period. This proved to be quite significant to Vestey, because engine number 6167 had already been approved by the Le Mans scrutineers, as demonstrated by a stamping that remains on the motor today. With the approved engine but no car, Vestey was rapidly in search of a replacement chassis, prompting his purchase of 6053 from George Drummond. After acquiring the berlinetta the owner installed engine number 6167/22LM and transaxle number 17, with his sights firmly locked on the upcoming 24-hour endurance event. Vestey’s car was one of six Ferrari 250 LM examples entered at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was unusually postponed to September because of nationwide labor strikes. Refinished in a purplish dark blue with a white stripe, and wearing race #19, the Ferrari was piloted at La Circuit du Sarthe by the owner and American driver Roy Pike, and it qualified for a 32nd-place starting position. Over the first hour on Saturday afternoon 6053 impressively climbed six places to 26th, a position it held through the second hour, when Vestey lost control while attempting to negotiate the Arnage Corner. A spin and shunt ensued that required some minor pit repairs to the car’s rear end. By the time Roy Pike reentered the fray, the LM had dropped to 46th place, though Pike managed to claw back some positioning by advancing to 31st place through the 10th hour. Then, on the 99th lap, fate caught up to 6053. The gearbox failed and the Ferrari was forced to retire early, prematurely ending Vestey’s quest for triumph at La Sarthe. There was no shame in this result, however, considering that of the 54 cars that began the race a mere 15 of them managed to finish the grueling contest. AMERICAN RENAISSANCE Following the conclusion of its European racing career, the 250 LM was sold in April 1969 through the well-known British dealer Colin Crabbe to Richard Merritt of Bethesda, Maryland, one of the co-founders of the Ferrari Club of America. Mr. Merritt quickly resold the berlinetta to Terry Myr of Detroit, who before long entrusted the respected Kirk White Motorcars to sell the car to the equally esteemed dealer Harley Cluxton. In 1971 Cluxton sold the car to Robert Sutherland of Denver, Colorado, and he commissioned a complete restoration three years later, presenting the car at the FCA Meeting at Rockton, Illinois, in May 1975. In 1983 the Ferrari was acquired by Anthony Podell of Manhattan Beach, California, and he entrusted Mike McCluskey to perform some restoration measures before enjoying the car in vintage racing at the 1987 Chicago Historic, and the 1988 Monterey Historic Races. Later that year the car was sold to a Swiss enthusiast who retained possession for two years before selling the car to the Mitsubishi Corporation in 1990, beginning a new chapter of life in Japan. Four years later the Ferrari passed to collector Shiroh Kosaka, and he dutifully pampered the 250, sending it in 1999 to be restored by Dino Colognato’s well-known shop in Vigonza, Italy. Mr. Kosaka was a loyal steward of the car for many years, only offering it for sale in 2018 after a remarkable period of 24 years of fastidious care. In 2018 the 250 LM was purchased by the consignor, one of the country’s most respected collectors of top-shelf vintage Ferrari racecars. The owner soon submitted the car to the Ferrari factory for full restoration and certification by Ferrari Classiche. Completed in 2021, the painstaking refurbishment is documented with an impressive booklet produced by Ferrari that concludes the car is the authentic one driven by Paul Vestey at Le Mans in 1968. As reiterated on the Ferrari Classiche certification, the car continues to retain the engine and transaxle from chassis number 6167, as raced at Le Mans in September 1968. Following the expert restoration by the ultimate authority on vintage racing Ferraris, 6053 was proudly displayed at the Ferrari Finals at Mugello in November 2021, after which it was exhibited at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena. In August 2022 the car was presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, completing its journey from gritty Le Mans racecar to a celebrated show car. Documentation for this important Maranello racecar is nothing short of outstanding. The car’s file includes copies of factory build sheets, certificate of origin, and SEFAC invoice; period correspondence from Paul Vestey; period expense notes made by Carrozzeria Sports Cars’ Franco Zucchi; Carnet de Passages and related 1968 Le Mans paperwork; signed statements of fact by Sir Paul Vestey and marque experts Marcel Massini and Brooke Betz; numerous period racing photographs that include detailed analysis of the car’s evolution; former owners’ correspondence, including emails to Dino Colognato’s son; and the impressive factory-issued summary of the recent restoration by Ferrari Classiche (not to mention the Red Book, itself). It should be noted that unlike most seriously campaigned 250 LM examples, chassis number 6053 is believed to have never suffered a significant accident, and it retains its matching-numbers chassis and coachwork, as well as the engine and transaxle utilized at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, as clarified by the Ferrari Classiche Red Book. It is also worth considering that the LM is one of the legendary three racing models of this period, alongside the 250 GTO and Testa Rossa. Yet of these three models, investment into the ranks of LM ownership is available at a comparative fraction of the price, making acquisition of this important example a relative bargain into the most exclusive Ferrari racing pantheon. This phenomenal 250 LM abounds in fascinating race-equipped details, from the six huge Weber 38 DCN carburetors topped with velocity stacks and enclosed in a cold air box, to the alloy Borrani wire wheels and the correct Rosso Cina paint over Bleu cloth upholstery. The important competition Ferrari furthermore represents a significant design benchmark in Maranello’s engineering history while claiming legitimate Le Mans racing experience. Capped with the fastidious Ferrari Classiche restoration and certification, this highly desirable 250 LM checks all the metaphorical boxes, offering a rare opportunity for dedicated marque collectors to acquire one of Maranello’s most treasured models. 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Just 32 examples of the mighty 250 LM were built through mid-1966, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferrari models of all time, encapsulating advanced race-engineered mechanicals, sensuous coachwork cues, and a Le Mans-winning pedigree. It should come as little surprise that 250 LM examples are closely treasured by their owners, only seldom being offered in public settings. All of which makes the availability of the featured lot an extremely rare opportunity for passionate Ferrari collectors. CHASSIS NUMBER 6053—A JOURNEY TO LE MANS Claiming period competition use at Le Mans, as well as a no-cost-barred restoration completed in 2021 by Ferrari Classiche, this breathtaking 250 LM is a particularly desirable example of Maranello’s legendary racecar. Chassis number 6053 is the 22nd example built, and after being finished in the iconic 250 LM livery of Rosso Cina over seats trimmed in Bleu cloth upholstery, the car was delivered in October 1964 to Colonel Ronnie Hoare’s Maranello Concessionaires, the well-known marque distributor and factory-preferred privateer client in Great Britain. The Ferrari was sold new to British driver George Drummond, and he immediately set about competition on the local BRSCC circuits while occasionally entering larger events worldwide. Early highlights included a class win at Wiscombe Park in April 1965, and four overall wins over the next four months at Brands Hatch, Snetterton (twice), and Silverstone. In February 1966 the Ferrari was entered at the 24 Hours of Daytona as race #24, to be driven by Innes Ireland, Mike Hailwood, and Drummond. Photos taken at this event demonstrate that by this time, side-marker lights had been mounted high on the door sides. Unfortunately the car was forced to retire after 90 laps with a gearbox failure. Over the following two years, 6053 recorded at least eight more starts, and among these appearances, Ferrari factory driver Michael Parkes took the wheel at the Austrian Grand Prix of September 1966, finishing 3rd in class and 8th overall. Chassis number 6053 continued campaigning local British races before being entered in four events in Africa during November and December 1967, including the Kyalami 9 Hours. Among these races, the LM roared to a 5th-overall finish at the Lourenço Marques 3 Hours in Mozambique. In May 1968 Drummond offered the Ferrari for sale and it was acquired by the London-based Paul Vestey Racing, with whom the car would take its greatest stage. Paul Vestey had been campaigning a different 250 LM, the ex-Maranello Concessionaires-run chassis number 6167. David Piper was driving 6167 on the legendarily difficult Targa Florio when a steering arm came loose, forcing the car to careen over a hillside. Though the chassis and body were beyond repair, the engine and transaxle were easily salvaged by removing both components as one unit, as was common practice with these cars in period. This proved to be quite significant to Vestey, because engine number 6167 had already been approved by the Le Mans scrutineers, as demonstrated by a stamping that remains on the motor today. With the approved engine but no car, Vestey was rapidly in search of a replacement chassis, prompting his purchase of 6053 from George Drummond. After acquiring the berlinetta the owner installed engine number 6167/22LM and transaxle number 17, with his sights firmly locked on the upcoming 24-hour endurance event. Vestey’s car was one of six Ferrari 250 LM examples entered at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was unusually postponed to September because of nationwide labor strikes. Refinished in a purplish dark blue with a white stripe, and wearing race #19, the Ferrari was piloted at La Circuit du Sarthe by the owner and American driver Roy Pike, and it qualified for a 32nd-place starting position. Over the first hour on Saturday afternoon 6053 impressively climbed six places to 26th, a position it held through the second hour, when Vestey lost control while attempting to negotiate the Arnage Corner. A spin and shunt ensued that required some minor pit repairs to the car’s rear end. By the time Roy Pike reentered the fray, the LM had dropped to 46th place, though Pike managed to claw back some positioning by advancing to 31st place through the 10th hour. Then, on the 99th lap, fate caught up to 6053. The gearbox failed and the Ferrari was forced to retire early, prematurely ending Vestey’s quest for triumph at La Sarthe. There was no shame in this result, however, considering that of the 54 cars that began the race a mere 15 of them managed to finish the grueling contest. AMERICAN RENAISSANCE Following the conclusion of its European racing career, the 250 LM was sold in April 1969 through the well-known British dealer Colin Crabbe to Richard Merritt of Bethesda, Maryland, one of the co-founders of the Ferrari Club of America. Mr. Merritt quickly resold the berlinetta to Terry Myr of Detroit, who before long entrusted the respected Kirk White Motorcars to sell the car to the equally esteemed dealer Harley Cluxton. In 1971 Cluxton sold the car to Robert Sutherland of Denver, Colorado, and he commissioned a complete restoration three years later, presenting the car at the FCA Meeting at Rockton, Illinois, in May 1975. In 1983 the Ferrari was acquired by Anthony Podell of Manhattan Beach, California, and he entrusted Mike McCluskey to perform some restoration measures before enjoying the car in vintage racing at the 1987 Chicago Historic, and the 1988 Monterey Historic Races. Later that year the car was sold to a Swiss enthusiast who retained possession for two years before selling the car to the Mitsubishi Corporation in 1990, beginning a new chapter of life in Japan. Four years later the Ferrari passed to collector Shiroh Kosaka, and he dutifully pampered the 250, sending it in 1999 to be restored by Dino Colognato’s well-known shop in Vigonza, Italy. Mr. Kosaka was a loyal steward of the car for many years, only offering it for sale in 2018 after a remarkable period of 24 years of fastidious care. In 2018 the 250 LM was purchased by the consignor, one of the country’s most respected collectors of top-shelf vintage Ferrari racecars. The owner soon submitted the car to the Ferrari factory for full restoration and certification by Ferrari Classiche. Completed in 2021, the painstaking refurbishment is documented with an impressive booklet produced by Ferrari that concludes the car is the authentic one driven by Paul Vestey at Le Mans in 1968. As reiterated on the Ferrari Classiche certification, the car continues to retain the engine and transaxle from chassis number 6167, as raced at Le Mans in September 1968. Following the expert restoration by the ultimate authority on vintage racing Ferraris, 6053 was proudly displayed at the Ferrari Finals at Mugello in November 2021, after which it was exhibited at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena. In August 2022 the car was presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, completing its journey from gritty Le Mans racecar to a celebrated show car. Documentation for this important Maranello racecar is nothing short of outstanding. The car’s file includes copies of factory build sheets, certificate of origin, and SEFAC invoice; period correspondence from Paul Vestey; period expense notes made by Carrozzeria Sports Cars’ Franco Zucchi; Carnet de Passages and related 1968 Le Mans paperwork; signed statements of fact by Sir Paul Vestey and marque experts Marcel Massini and Brooke Betz; numerous period racing photographs that include detailed analysis of the car’s evolution; former owners’ correspondence, including emails to Dino Colognato’s son; and the impressive factory-issued summary of the recent restoration by Ferrari Classiche (not to mention the Red Book, itself). It should be noted that unlike most seriously campaigned 250 LM examples, chassis number 6053 is believed to have never suffered a significant accident, and it retains its matching-numbers chassis and coachwork, as well as the engine and transaxle utilized at the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, as clarified by the Ferrari Classiche Red Book. It is also worth considering that the LM is one of the legendary three racing models of this period, alongside the 250 GTO and Testa Rossa. Yet of these three models, investment into the ranks of LM ownership is available at a comparative fraction of the price, making acquisition of this important example a relative bargain into the most exclusive Ferrari racing pantheon. This phenomenal 250 LM abounds in fascinating race-equipped details, from the six huge Weber 38 DCN carburetors topped with velocity stacks and enclosed in a cold air box, to the alloy Borrani wire wheels and the correct Rosso Cina paint over Bleu cloth upholstery. The important competition Ferrari furthermore represents a significant design benchmark in Maranello’s engineering history while claiming legitimate Le Mans racing experience. Capped with the fastidious Ferrari Classiche restoration and certification, this highly desirable 250 LM checks all the metaphorical boxes, offering a rare opportunity for dedicated marque collectors to acquire one of Maranello’s most treasured models.

  • 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS

    Finished in the quintessential Ferrari color of Rosso Corsa, this 1988 Ferrari 328GTS is a stunning example that shows just 11,865 miles at the time of cataloging. The 328 was produced from 1986-1989, and the model run is split into two variations- the cars built from 1986 through the first half of 1988, and then what are known as the 1988.5-1989 cars. These later cars benefit from a significantly improved suspension to prepare the car for ABS which also necessitated a new convex 5-spoke wheel design, that is the easiest way to identify an early versus late car. As a GTS, this 328 has a vinyl wrapped targa top, which is complimented by a black vinyl wrapped spoiler that sits just behind the rear targa bar. The interior is finished in a deep, chocolate brown leather known as Testa di Moro, which is complimented with dark brown carpet throughout the interior. When you compare the interior of the 328 to more modern exotics, it is delightfully simple and allows you to focus on just one thing- enjoying the drive. When you slide into the driver’s seat, you are met with a perfect width leather wrapped Momo steering wheel, that frames a set of Veglia gauges that are essentially identical to those found in the 288 GTO. Next to your right leg, a pod houses a trio of dials that includes a clock, oil temperature and fuel level, and beneath that, a Blaupunkt Los Angeles tape deck looks perfect in the cabin. The center console houses the all important gated 5-speed manual shifter, and behind that, sits the climate control system, hazard lights and window switches. Mechanically, the 2.9-liter V8 from the 308 was replaced by a 3.2-liter unit with a host of updates throughout to give it more power, while also making it more livable and pleasant to drive. A greatly improved Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system was paired with a Marelli electronic ignition system to help the 328 effortlessly pass American emissions, while also allowing the car to idle and drive far more smoothly than any 308. Between this new injection system, 4 valves per cylinder, and the greater displacement, power for the 328 increased to 270 hp which helped it run from 0-60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The 328 is considered by many to be one of the most reliable classic Ferraris- the engine and gearbox are notoriously robust and thanks to the transverse layout, the engine does not need to come out of the car to replace timing belts like on the later 348 and F355 series cars. Regardless of wether you are a Ferrari collector or new to the brand, it doesn’t take much seat time to realize that the 328 GTS is a proper driver’s car. Built with enough technology to be dependable and easy to use, but with out any nannies to get in the way of driving enjoyment, the 328 is a car that will always put a smile on your face. Inspection Summary The paint on this car is in very good condition for its age, showing only minor stone chips at the rear of the car-most of which are covered with dabs of touch up paint. There is paint protection film applied to the front ⅓ of the car, and minor peeling is occurring around the left headlight bucket. There is an intermittent issue where the right side headlight will get stuck in the open or closed position and a minor tear in the driver’s door seal. As you would anticipate on a car of this age, there are a few leaks underneath from the front radiator, and one of the front steering boots is torn- as well as one of the inner axle boots by the transaxle. 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster

    In recent years, the classic car industry has become awash with specialist companies whose sole endeavour is to upgrade and improve on design classics. From 105-Series Alfa Romeos to Jaguar E-Types, modern technology is being applied to period icons in an effort to match the performance, usability, and comfort of contemporary automobiles—often to the detriment of a car’s unique character. But there is one model, perhaps above all others, that was so far advanced at the point of launch that today, after more than six decades, absolutely no improvements are necessary: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster. Its closed sibling, the 300 SL ‘Gullwing’, pioneered a number of technological innovations that are now mainstays in the wider automobile industry, ranging from fuel injection to its lightweight tubular-frame chassis. With the launch of the 300 SL Roadster following the conclusion of Gullwing production, Mercedes-Benz continued to refine and advance the platform, setting a benchmark standard for open-topped performance cars. World-beating in period, the model remains one of the exemplary automobiles of its generation—and one whose pace, refinement, and dynamism still has the power to excite almost 70 years on. First registered in July 1957 and supplied to its native Germany, this 300 SL Roadster was originally finished in the model’s trademark Silver-Grey Metallic (DB 180G). Little is known of the car’s early history, but by 1990, it was still in Germany, in the care of Erik Schwanke of Wachterg, who commissioned a restoration in 1993. Photographs on file, dating from 1994, show the car finished in Silver-Grey over Red leather. After completion of the restoration, the car was purchased by Michael Eschmann of Gummersbach, and from 1996 to 1998, it belonged to Peter Aaray, in whose care the car received further mechanical work, including a rear axle and engine rebuild, as well as a new clutch. From 1998 until 2008, the Mercedes-Benz was owned by Wolfgang Schleinitz of Wildeshausen, who undertook a gearbox rebuild in 2006. In 2008, the 300 SL was sold to a Mr. Nikkolas Benopoulos, a collector and owner of multiple 300 SLs, and was subsequently shipped to and registered in his native Greece. After being sold by him in 2013, the car was acquired by the current owner and imported to the UK, where it remains today. Shortly after the 300 SL’s arrival in the UK, the car was entrusted to respected restorer Hilton & Moss. No strangers to Mercedes-Benz products and 300 SLs, their inspection showed that although the 1993 restoration was carried out to a good standard, further investigations revealed improper damage repairs to the rear section of the car and other minor flaws. As a result, the car was stripped to bare metal and fully restored to return it to as-new condition—a restoration that would involve some 3,500 hours of labour. It was decided the car would be finished in the period-correct colour scheme of Anthracite Grey (DB 172) over a contrasting Red leather interior, making for a more unusual and alluring colour combination. During the restoration, it was determined that—at some point—the car had been fitted with a replacement engine of the correct type. Following the completion of the restoration, the car was shown at Salon Prive in 2017, where it was awarded second-in-class honours. Invoices on file show that the car was subject to 500 miles of shakedown testing by Hilton & Moss following the completion of the restoration in 2016, also detailing servicing by the specialist in 2017 and 2018. The 300 SL’s last service was undertaken by Martin Cushway Engineering in March 2020, considered by many to be the UK’s go-to 300 SL specialist; the car has covered just under 250 miles since. As such, it remains in truly excellent condition throughout. On the road, the 300 SL Roadster performs impeccably, with linear acceleration, smooth gear changes, and a dialled-in engine that simply purrs. Among modern traffic, it immediately becomes apparent how advanced the car is for its age, with road manners that belie its age—it is no wonder that these accomplished machines have become mainstays in large collections and favourites for long-distance touring. Not only is the car easy and engaging to drive, it is also very comfortable and quite practical, with a boot big enough for several days’ worth of luggage for two. This beautifully restored and tastefully finished 300 SL Roadster will excel at whatever its next owner has in store, all while exuding an unparalleled degree of class and sophistication. 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Invoices on file show that the car was subject to 500 miles of shakedown testing by Hilton & Moss following the completion of the restoration in 2016, also detailing servicing by the specialist in 2017 and 2018. The 300 SL’s last service was undertaken by Martin Cushway Engineering in March 2020, considered by many to be the UK’s go-to 300 SL specialist; the car has covered just under 250 miles since. As such, it remains in truly excellent condition throughout. On the road, the 300 SL Roadster performs impeccably, with linear acceleration, smooth gear changes, and a dialled-in engine that simply purrs. Among modern traffic, it immediately becomes apparent how advanced the car is for its age, with road manners that belie its age—it is no wonder that these accomplished machines have become mainstays in large collections and favourites for long-distance touring. Not only is the car easy and engaging to drive, it is also very comfortable and quite practical, with a boot big enough for several days’ worth of luggage for two. This beautifully restored and tastefully finished 300 SL Roadster will excel at whatever its next owner has in store, all while exuding an unparalleled degree of class and sophistication.

  • 1987 Porsche "TAG" Turbo AP85

    In the 1980s, Formula 1 belonged to McLaren International – a total of five drivers and four constructors championships were won by the team from Woking. In the mid-’80s, the MP4/2 and subsequent MP4/2B, MP4/2C, and finally MP4/3 were the cars to beat. A combination of John Barnard’s pioneering carbon composite chassis and the Porsche-designed and built TAG TTE P01 V6 twin-turbo engine led Alain Prost and Niki Lauda to three drivers and two constructors championships. These times were wild – limited safety, engines were turbocharged, small capacity units producing vast amounts of horsepower. Ron Dennis, in search of a manufacturer to provide a reliable turbocharged engine, partnered with Mansour Ojjeh’s TAG and approached Porsche. Hans Mezger headed up the project and designed a relatively narrow 80 degree V6 cylinder twin-turbocharged engine capable of producing 1060hp in its most potent qualifying trim. The design and materials used employed innovative technologies that are more commonplace in contemporary Formula 1 cars, but were unusual in period: cooling channels around the valve seats housing sodium-filled valves fed from twin water pumps mounted at the end of the engine itself; KKK handed turbo-chargers; forged pistons supplied by Mahle and titanium connecting rods. The TAG-Porsche TTE P01 V6 was an icon winning 26 Grand Prix – to celebrate how special the engine was, the team came up with the idea to install it in Porsche’s ultimate road car of the period, the 911 Turbo. The one-off Porsche 930 TAG Turbo is the original expression of “a Formula 1 engine installed in a road car”. The car has subtle aesthetic differences versus the standard 930 Turbo, specifically a deeper front splitter (unlike the air-cooled three litre flat six-cylinder engine in the standard car, the TAG-Turbo is water-cooled, necessitating the introduction of radiators in the front of the car); a larger rear wing; Ruf alloy wheels, and a turbo boost gauge that went to three bars. The car remained the singular example of a Porsche Formula 1 engine installed in a road car for many years, until one day in April 2017 we visited McLaren Technology Center, home of McLaren Racing. We enquired if we could purchase the one-off 930 TAG Turbo, which was respectfully declined, which led us to then ask about an engine for an exact copy of the one-off, which we would build at Lanzante. McLaren agreed to consider it and get back to us. Meanwhile, we considered what would be required to build the second car to the correct standard – we realized that in order to produce a car of the highest quality, we would need to produce a small volume run of 930 TAG Turbos. Some time was spent on the details of the build, and we eventually arrived at a production number of 11 cars, one car for each driver in each year the Porsche TAG Turbo engine contested Grand Prix in a McLaren chassis. McLaren Racing agreed to sell us sufficient examples of the TAG Turbo V6, and the Porsche 930 TAG Turbo by Lanzante was born. We studied the original one-off, and developed our concept more accurately – we wanted to stay true to the original car, but contemporaneously improve on the quality, and drivability and utilize the best technology available to us. Every engine used in a Porsche 930 TAG Turbo by Lanzante is an original, designed and built by Porsche in period, TTE P01 twin turbo V6, and used in a Formula 1 car in the period. We have partnered with Cosworth, a world-class automotive engineering company, to re-engineer and re-built the race engines to the most optimal form for use in a Porsche 911 road car. The development journey has resulted in a package that delivers: 503 bhp at 8,500rpm and 420Nm in maximum torque Maximum engine speed of 9,000 rpm Maximum boost pressure of 3 bar Total weight of an engine – 130kg (which is 130kg less than the standard engine in a 930 Turbo road car). AP85 started as a lovely 1987 930 Turbo that was in great driving condition. Once sourced, the car was transported to Lanzante LTD in November of '20 to start its transition into one of the lucky eleven TAG Turbo's. When working through the initial vehicle specification, it was determined that the car would be finished in Porsche Slate Grey over a "Manor Red Leather/Houndstooth" interior. Completing its build in February of '22, the car was then flown over to the United States to join a collection of some historic McLaren Grand Prix cars. AP85's engine was most notably used in the 1985 Holland Grand Prix and 1986 French Grand Prix, propelling Prost to a 2nd place finish in each. Stefan Johansson would then have this engine strapped behind him in the 1987 Monaco Grand Prix where he suffered a DNF and in France where the engine would take him to an 8th place finish. Benefits from an annual service with Lanzante LTD in October of '24 Includes a second set of comfort seats Beautifully presented in a period-correct spec, this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable TAG Turbo built by Lanzante. 1987 Porsche "TAG" Turbo AP85 Mouse Motors LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1981 Alfa Romeo GTV6

    Features electric windows, air conditioning, tinted glass, R/C, alloy wheels, right exterior mirror, metallic paint, sports exhaust system The deeper you delve into this topic, the more we should agree on one important point - this car should actually no longer exist. At least not in this unrestored, top condition after 43 years. If it does (which we strongly doubt), then it is either in the Alfa Romeo Museum in Milan or in a well-sorted collection of an Alfa Romeo connoisseur. This exceptionally well-preserved GTV matured in sun-drenched Tuscany and was therefore not exposed to winter in salt or other bad weather. In addition, during the long rest periods of its sheltered maturation it probably had a shady spot that kept its interior and dashboard away from the sun and thus prevented it from drying out or even cracking. Accordingly, its interior does not look any more worn or faded than that of a two- to three-year-old, well-maintained Alfa of the same series. With the main difference that a good 40 years have passed and there are no more two- to three-year-old GTV6s... Do you see what we're getting at? We call it an incredible stroke of luck that we can admire the favorite car of an Alfisti who apparently knew what to do to preserve his car for posterity over 40 years ago. The Alfa is missing exactly NOTHING! No maintenance backlog, a functioning air conditioning system (from the factory!), no imbalance, tires, brakes - everything is just as you would have hoped 40 years ago when you could pick up your ordered new car from your trusted Alfa Romeo dealer. Even when the new car was handed over, the buyers of this brand had to be blessed with a certain... to put it mildly in old age - willingness to compromise, so as not to drive off the lot in a fit of rage at the ceremonial handover... Anyone who is old and honest enough with themselves and who is not suffering from memory loss will remember: That - was - Alfa! A love-hate relationship for a fascinating but also bitchy automobile with many stubborn moods that kept its drivers on their toes. But when it worked (which it basically did almost always, because it was usually only the small "background noises" that made life difficult...), the Alfa Romeo was a wonderful car with character, with sound and with a good dose of built-in Italy... We digress... There will be more details about this very special GTV shortly. First, however, we ask you to look at all the photos we took immediately after receiving this gem. Probably the finest, most melodious V6 engine from series production in one of the most beautiful coupes of the 70s and 80s - the top model from Alfa Romeo at the time with the designation GTV6 2.5.
