After finding notable success as aircraft engine manufacturers, in the late 1920s BMW shifted their attention to the growing automobile industry. Initially operating under license manufacturing a variant of the Austin Seven, early BMWs were merely a faint glimpse of what would evolve to become a premier luxury-performance brand. And while many remarkable sports cars like the Mille Miglia winning 328 would soon follow, none would capture the imagination more than the incomparable BMW 507. Enticed by Austrian importer and consummate salesman Max Hoffman, BMW became convinced they could offer a sports car to wealthy North American clientele. Though competition was stiff, Hoffman could see the growing market of affluent sports car enthusiasts building in the states. Though initially conceived with a $5,000 price, 254 units were sold at a staggering $10,000.00 price tag, finding ownership among celebrities, aristocrats, and wealthy sportsmen, including legendary figures like racecar driver John Surtees and icon Elvis Presley, who purchased two 507s. Handcrafted at enormous internal expense from 1957-1959, the 507 offered features and performance that competed admirably with premier sports cars of the time. But the costly 507 was constructed to such exacting standards it nearly forced BMW into bankruptcy. Ultimately the 507 would generate important brand equity among elite clientele, but it never achieved the anticipated sales goals lauded by Hoffman. A result, while daunting at the time, has since become an integral part of the rarity of these cars. Built with the finest mechanical components derived from the 502 and 503 series production, the overhead valve 3.2 liter V8 aluminum block engine, outfitted with twin carburetors, delivered 150 hp in a light and nimble package. And while performance was impressive for the time, it would ultimately be the stunning roadster body lines penned by Count Albrecht von Goertz, also at Hoffman’s urging, that would deliver the 507 into iconic status immediately after its release. Divided into two production sequences (Series I and Series II), the Series II cars are favored by enthusiasts as they offer more passenger room due to the relocation of the fuel tank, also resulting in more convenient fuel filling, a revised dashboard, and a more streamlined convertible top stowage area. The most desirable mechanical and safety improvement in Series II cars is the addition of Girling front disc brakes. This Series II example, serial # 70110, is the 110th 507 built. According to the BMW Classic Zertifikat accompanying this car, #70110 was completed on January 14, 1958, and is documented to have been delivered with a removable hardtop and factory exhaust tips. Considering the rarity of any 507, this sultry example is further distinguished by the factory color “Silbergrau” metallic silver, one of just 21 examples finished in this elegant color. Upon completion, this example is believed to have been displayed at the BMW Munich Pavillion before being sold to the first owner in May 1958, when the car was dispatched to Caracas, Venezuela. The first owner, Gustavo Zingg, was a German businessman who also served as the official representative for Mercedes-Benz in Venezuela. According to research obtained from the BMW Classic Car Club of America, this 507 is believed to have spent time in South America, eventually returning to Germany around 1960 where it remained for the next five decades. During the 1960s the car is known to have been owned by Ludwig Hahn, who passed the car on to Nicholas Hahn. In 2005, this 507 was offered for sale by Erich Benz and subsequently restored to a high standard from 2006-2008 and then purchased by Jan Onne, followed by Phil White in 2016. During the restoration, a comprehensive mechanical overhaul was performed by the BMW Classic department. In May 2014, under the ownership of Hamburg, Germany resident Jan Onne, this beautifully restored 507 returned to BMW Classic for an extensive inspection and BMW Factory Expertise report covering all aspects of originality, quality of finish, and component authenticity. Regarded by many premier collectors as the definitive narrative document verifying all aspects of these cars, the BMW “Black Book” accompanying the car serves as confirmation on all features and cosmetic aspects of these cars, issued only by BMW through an exhaustive in-person expert visual inspection performed in Munich. Summary conclusions from the BMW Classic Black Book include verification that the car retains the original chassis, original suspension components, the original braking system (including the Series II Girling disc brakes), and original body panels. Of key importance, the car also wears a complete set of impossibly rare date stamped Rudge knock off wheels, which are identified in the BMW Expertise report to be original and correct. As is well known by experts in these cars, the ten-bolt engine design of earlier iteration was prone to heat failure. As a remedy, BMW offered factory replacement engines delivered to authorized dealerships at no cost to the owners. The replacement engine, a 140 series with eleven-bolt cylinder head castings, was more robust than the failed original ten-bolt design which caused catastrophic cylinder head warping especially in warmer climates like Italy and Venezuela. This example is fitted with the desirable eleven-bolt engine and a correct ZF four-speed gearbox. Summary conclusions when under mechanical inspection and road testing for the Black Book include an engine compression test returning 8.4:1 – 8.7:1 across all cylinders. The conclusion to the inspection and certification resulted in a 900 point score out of 1000, placing it in Category 1, the highest rated category achievable. Under American ownership for the past five years, this extraordinary 507 has only been displayed at just one premier concours event, The Quail Motorsports Gathering in 2016. TODAY THIS BMW 507 PRESENTS AS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE DESIRABLE SERIES II CONFIGURATION, FINISHED IN SILVER WITH ELEGANT RED LEATHER INTERIOR. The paint is glossy and smooth, flowing over the original body panels. The fine body details, delicate creases, and exquisite surface transitions are expertly finished and polished to perfection. The doors, hood, and trunk gaps are excellent, opening and closing smoothly, with jambs and underside surfaces showing excellent finish and structural integrity. The delicately tailored front and rear bumpers, headlight bezels, and other chrome features offer beautiful reflections and glints of jewel-like detail. The headlights, lenses, glass, and trim are finished to a very high standard showing correct factory indications and precision fit. The distinctive BMW “spinning prop” emblems create elegant touches to the sinewy body design. The sporty factory original, date stamped Rudge wheels are correctly finished with matching body color centers surrounded by stunning polished aluminum rims and finished with chrome plated knockoffs bearing the BMW logo. Michelin white wall tires add an elegant touch to the sporting profile. The distinctive split grille is polished to a high luster with precision fit to the openings and correct polish to the perforated grille screens. The elongated hood scoop is delicately finished with laser straight chrome trim complementing the BMW roundels flanked on each side in the polished fender vents. The hardtop has been painted a handsome darker shade of silver which creates a tailored look to the car as the 507 hardtop itself is one of the best-looking hardtops ever fitted to any sports car. The interior is beautifully presented with rich, taut leather, offering an elegant sporting red hue that commands any viewers attention. The leather is beautifully creased, stitched, and tailored with exceptional details including stitched finger pulls, hand crank chrome plated window handles, and wrapped leather grab handles. The interior is elegantly trimmed with the seats showing just a hint of use, slightly relaxed by fortunate drivers and delighted passengers. The correctly trimmed low pile carpeting is in excellent condition, showing only mild evidence of use in the driver’s footwell. The black canvas convertible top raises and lowers easily with tight fit to the windshield and excellent material finish inside and out. The dashboard sports an elegant array of vividly restored gauges with crisp lettering and bright numeric indication. Further details include a Becker Europa radio, matching red speaker grille and instrument binnacle surround, and the gorgeous ivory white steering with four spokes encircled by the perimeter rim emulating the high-speed prop spin as a herald of BMWs aviation heritage, just as their logo conveys. The stunning and elegant interior continues to the lining and finishes in the trunk compartment which offers ample room for more than weekend luggage as well as a full-sized matching date coded Rudge wheel spare. Here too, as with the rest of the car, one can admire the attention to detail in the underside trunk finish and inner side panels. Under the hood, the BMW V8 engine is a symphony of correct detail utilizing original accessories and properly finished hardware. While at BMW Classic Center the engine and engine compartment were restored and detailed to a high standard and great care has since been continuously given to preserve these authentic finishes. Although some miles and time have passed since completion, the engine presents exquisitely even under show-level scrutiny as both cosmetic and operational diligence has been fastidiously commissioned with top-tier professionals. A set of factory original tools reside in a dedicated storage box built into the engine compartment in front of the firewall – a clever original feature exceeding even the finest classic cars that often barely offer a small fabric rollup set of tools. Inspection of the undercarriage further validates the quality of the restoration from top to bottom. Not only has this car benefited from an expert restoration, the ongoing care and detailing have since continually preserved the quality of the finishes even on the undercarriage. True to the original intent of this BMW 507, the visual condition is further enhanced by excellent mechanical refinement and operational confidence. The car starts and runs smoothly with a wonderful sound emanating from the optional twin exit pipes extending under the rear bumper. THE DELICATELY MUFFLED V8 ENGINE IS BRISK AND RESPONSIVE WHEN THE THROTTLE IS ENGAGED, AS THE ROADWAY QUICKLY DISAPPEARS BENEATH YOU. The comfortable seating position offers expansive visibility and easy to reach controls. Power is strong when encouraged, with second and third gear being especially rewarding for jaunts up to higher speeds. Driving this BMW 507 it is easy to see how these cars continue to delight dedicated and fortunate owners, many of whom regularly use these cars in motoring events because of their exceptional road manners, ease of use, and touring composure. This beautiful BMW 507 is accompanied by an original factory hardtop, an original set of Hazet branded tools, a Rudge wheel knock off tool, factory keys, a BMW maintenance chart, BMW 507 owner’s manual, period sales literature, and the BMW Classic Expertise Black Book. Collected by some of the most distinguished and discerning connoisseurs, the magnificent BMW 507 Series II will forever remain an unrivaled icon of unparalleled automotive beauty and sophisticated elegance.

Whilst current market values often don't show it, the Elan Plus 2 was a pivotal car for Lotus when it launched in 1967. Its Ron Hickman lines and shared name may have pinned it with the petite breakthrough Elan of five years prior, but the Plus 2 was much more than a mere variant of the first mass market Lotus. It was the marque's first real concerted push towards the upmarket sports car sector it inhabits today. Where its junior sibling was aimed squarely at the enthusiastic hobbyist, the Plus 2 was conceived to tempt the affluent young family man out of his Jaguar and into a Lotus for the first time. Consequently, the Lotus was generously adorned with Walnut veneers, leather, gauges, switches and the airy interior required by arriving young executives and their families. In confirmation of this, the Plus 2 was the first Lotus not available in self-assembly form. However, despite its larger overall dimensions, the Plus 2 remained true to the Lotus 'simplify and add lightness' mantra, and the extended and widened Elan backbone chassis ensured that the Plus 2 retained the urgency and reactiveness that had proved such a hit with the original. This was something special - a light, sporty concept that was brand new to this sector of the market, and so much more than an enlarged Elan. We imagine that the management at Lotus must have discussed, at some point, the possibility of chopping the top off the Elan Plus 2, but it never happened, leaving the field wide open for enterprising Lotus dealer and marque expert, Christopher Neil, to do just that with his CN Cabriolets a few years later. First registered in 1969, XWW 50G started life as a Lotus Yellow Plus 2 Coupé before being converted to an open-top car using a Christopher Neil conversion kit. Around the year 2000, it was in need of a restoration and this was duly carried out. The work included a new chassis, sills, a full engine rebuild, new brakes, a wiring loom and finally it was refinished in a very attractive shade of Indigo Blue. Since being owned by our vendor, an ex-Formula 1 mechanic, it has been further improved by fitting new suspension from Tony Thompson Racing in 2021 with the invoice in the history file for £,2,871, Sue Miller driveshafts, an aluminium fuel tank and aluminium radiator, and a new mohair roof and tonneau from Autotrim for £1,440. It's supplied with an original Christopher Neil Conversions sales brochure, multiple receipts, MOTs etc. and its V5C. Presented to a good standard, this is a rare car, and you are unlikely to see another on the road. Remarkably, it's on offer at No Reserve, making this a tempting proposition. 1969 Lotus Elan 2+2 Convertible Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The 1950s marked a period of important output for Carrozzerria Ghia, as the Turin-based firm bodied or designed a fascinating array of concept cars, one-offs, and unique production models. Among this body of work, the company clothed perhaps two dozen Alfa Romeo 1900 chassis during 1954 and 1955. While these cars were generally built upon the performance-oriented short-wheelbase 1900C chassis, the featured car is one of far fewer 1900 examples built on Alfa Romeo’s long-wheelbase 1900L lungo chassis. Chassis number 01089 is likely the first of at least nine similarly styled cars that were sometimes badged as Ghia Specials, and the only one built on the lungo chassis. With aluminum alloy coachwork designed by the noted Giovanni Savonuzzi, these cars featured curved front bumperettes, bulbous fenders with protruding headlamps, squared wheel-well openings, a wraparound front windscreen that fed into an airy canopy, and delicate rear fender fins. But while the design fits somewhat awkwardly on the short-wheelbase platform, necessitating particularly long front and rear overhangs, it more elegantly complements the lungo chassis, which provides greater aesthetic balance and a smoother ride quality to boot. Dispatched to Ghia in April 1954, the Alfa Romeo was completed with coachwork finished in Bleu Marino and delivered three months later to a buyer in New York. While very little is currently known of the 1900L’s interim history, by 2006 the car was owned by a resident of Sacramento, California, who presented it at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Later acquired by a respected dealer on the East Coast, the Alfa Romeo was sold to the current owner in October 2016. Since domiciled in long-term storage, the Ghia Special still presents with character, continuing to benefit from a prior restoration in rosso paint over gray leather. In addition to being equipped with a rare column-mounted five-speed factory gearbox, the Alfa Romeo retains its matching-numbers type 1306 engine, further enriching the car’s authenticity. Ideal for collectors of coach-built Alfa Romeos or enthusiasts of Ghia’s seminal design output of the 1950s, this car would make a strong candidate for touring use, while claiming design provenance worthy of museum display or concours exhibition. 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900L Coupe by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Renault 5 Turbo 2 was created as a limited production run for Group B rallying homologation purposes to allow the Renault team to compete in rallying on the international stage. With its rear-mid-engine and rear-wheel drive layout, this is undoubtedly one of the most iconic cars from the infamous Group B era of rally racing. Powered by a 1.4L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, it developed 158HP and 163ft/lbs of torque when new and has a curb weight of 2,130lbs. Its svelte weight, power, and engine mounting location, propelled the Renault 5 Turbo 2 from 0-60 in 6.9 seconds and achieving a top speed of 120 mph. Finished in a deep black over beige interior, this Renault 5 Turbo 2 is a rare Evolution model, making it 1 of 200 total produced to qualify for Group B competition. Having covered a mere 49k kilometeres since new, and benefitting from recent maintenance, this Renault 5 Turbo 2 Evolution is ready to join the discerning collectors garage. 1985 Renault 5 Turbo 2 Evolution The Cultivated Collector LLC If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Not least because of its iconic association with James Bond, the Aston Martin DB5 is undoubtedly one of the most famous classic sports coupés in automotive history. As the direct successor to the DB4, it was produced from 1963 and set new standards in design, performance and exclusivity. This early example from 1963 is one of the rare left-hand drive models that were produced especially for the export market. Of the 1,059 DB5 Coupés built between 1963 and 1965, only around 170 vehicles were produced in this configuration – often only at the customer’s request – which makes the car a particularly desirable collector’s item. According to the Aston Martin Built sheet, the DB5 Coupé presented here was delivered to Correze in France on 15 November 1963. A letter from the first owner about the purchase and his experiences with the car round off the impressive documentation. In 1968, the car found its way to its second owner in New York, later to Hollywood, and finally to Germany in 1991, where it still resides today. Under the direction of the first German owner, the DB5 underwent an extensive restoration by renowned companies. The installed engine is ‘matching-number’ and was completely overhauled by the company ‘Roos’ in Switzerland according to the available restoration report and invoices. A total of over €200,000 was spent on the restoration process. A rare left-hand drive example that has been fully restored with the utmost care. In perfect condition and with complete traceable history, this DB 5 Coupé embodies the essence of timeless automotive art. 1963 Aston Martin DB5 Thiesen Hamburg GmbH If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Mangusta was produced by De Tomaso from 1967 to 1971 and despite close links to the Ford Motor Company and access to mass production facilities, only 401 examples left the production line in Modena. It was De Tomaso’s first proper foray into the world of high-performance cars and one of the world’s first supercars, boasting in excess of 300 brake horsepower, a top speed pushing the other side of 250 km/h, and coachwork by none other than Bertone and later Ghia’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, including the gullwing engine cover that had been intended for Giotto Bizzarrini. Styled by Giugiaro, the De Tomaso is the epitome of late-1960s design: a low-slung wedge boasting a quad-headlamp nose, vast haunches, and a tail peppered with slots and vents. The crowning glory is aluminium rear bodywork that hinges up—gullwing-style—to reveal the American-made power unit. This attractive Mangusta is a European-specification example reportedly delivered new to Italy on New Year’s Eve in 1970 with the desirable quad-headlamp nose arrangement. It has resided in Barcelona with the consignor for nearly a decade, and at time of his purchase this Mangusta reportedly wore the factory shade of Avorio Safari. Under the consignor’s purview, the car has been comprehensively restored to the current color combination of Rosso Corsa over black leather, and tastefully modified to suit his discerning penchant for increased performance and safety. As such, this Mangusta is currently powered by an upgraded Hi-Po Ford V-8 engine which is fed by a quarter of Weber carburettors and mated to a correct-type five-speed ZF transaxle. Cosmetically, the car’s aggressive visage is enhanced by a pair of Vitaloni side mirrors, and staggered centre-lock Campagnolo alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. The interior is highlighted by an air conditioning system, AM/FM radio, power windows, and a leather-wrapped De Tomaso-Ferrero steering wheel, which fronts the full suite of correct Veglia Borletti instrumentation which proudly features the De Tomaso logo. Furthermore, a competition-spec fire extinguisher system has been integrated as an additional safety measure. The free-breathing custom exhaust system does nothing to diminish the Mangusta’s throaty bark, while a modern Brembo braking system with Wilwood lines, is set to work in-tandem with custom suspension for optimal handling dynamics during spirited drives. 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The Mangusta was produced by De Tomaso from 1967 to 1971 and despite close links to the Ford Motor Company and access to mass production facilities, only 401 examples left the production line in Modena. It was De Tomaso’s first proper foray into the world of high-performance cars and one of the world’s first supercars, boasting in excess of 300 brake horsepower, a top speed pushing the other side of 250 km/h, and coachwork by none other than Bertone and later Ghia’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, including the gullwing engine cover that had been intended for Giotto Bizzarrini. Styled by Giugiaro, the De Tomaso is the epitome of late-1960s design: a low-slung wedge boasting a quad-headlamp nose, vast haunches, and a tail peppered with slots and vents. The crowning glory is aluminium rear bodywork that hinges up—gullwing-style—to reveal the American-made power unit. This attractive Mangusta is a European-specification example reportedly delivered new to Italy on New Year’s Eve in 1970 with the desirable quad-headlamp nose arrangement. It has resided in Barcelona with the consignor for nearly a decade, and at time of his purchase this Mangusta reportedly wore the factory shade of Avorio Safari. Under the consignor’s purview, the car has been comprehensively restored to the current color combination of Rosso Corsa over black leather, and tastefully modified to suit his discerning penchant for increased performance and safety. As such, this Mangusta is currently powered by an upgraded Hi-Po Ford V-8 engine which is fed by a quarter of Weber carburettors and mated to a correct-type five-speed ZF transaxle. Cosmetically, the car’s aggressive visage is enhanced by a pair of Vitaloni side mirrors, and staggered centre-lock Campagnolo alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. The interior is highlighted by an air conditioning system, AM/FM radio, power windows, and a leather-wrapped De Tomaso-Ferrero steering wheel, which fronts the full suite of correct Veglia Borletti instrumentation which proudly features the De Tomaso logo. Furthermore, a competition-spec fire extinguisher system has been integrated as an additional safety measure. The free-breathing custom exhaust system does nothing to diminish the Mangusta’s throaty bark, while a modern Brembo braking system with Wilwood lines, is set to work in-tandem with custom suspension for optimal handling dynamics during spirited drives.

When the Porsche 996 was introduced in 1997, it was a major departure from the German marque’s classic formula. Gone was their staple air-cooled engine, now replaced by a water-cooled one instead. The platform was also completely redesigned and provided a fresh start to the iconic 911 as it entered a new era. The 996 shared development with the first-generation Boxster, a move that resulted in a few interchangeable parts between the two and, thus, lower production and maintenance costs. It was initially available only as an RWD coupé or convertible, with a four-wheel drive model arriving later. Power was derived from a 3.4 L flat-6 engine mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic transmission and putting out 296 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. 0 to 62 mph could be achieved in 5.2 seconds, and a top speed of 170 mph. Between 1997 and 2004, Porsche produced 171,250 examples of the naturally aspirated Carrera, with 28,040 produced in 1999. Throughout the years, the 996 generation of the 911 platform has been largely overlooked by collectors and Porschephiles. Many people lambasted them for both their break from the traditional air-cooled design as well as some of their questionable styling cues. As of recently, though, there has been a surge in desirability for these once unloved examples. This has been driven by two significant factors: the surging price of 911 examples across the board and people looking for cheap entry points into the Porsche community, but also the rediscovery of how fantastic this platform is actually to drive. These 996-generation cars still retain much of the raw and natural feeling of earlier 911s and are also from a time before size bloat and excessive electronics crept into the 911 lineup. While prices have steadily crept up on 996s, with limited production run and well spec’d examples bringing very strong money, they remain a very economical and practical choice for entry in 911 ownership. Purchasing a well-cared-for and properly serviced example with exciting colors or options remains paramount in preserving future gains in value. We see these as an excellent purchase for someone looking for a fun, reliable, and immensely useable sports car with potential growth in both value and collectability. This particular example, Chassis # WP0AA2998XS623394, is a 1999 model finished in Artic Silver Metallic (X1) over the Boxster Red Special Leather interior package (MA). This 996 was heavily optioned from the factory with the Aerokit Package (XAA), Full Carbon Package, Leather Sport Seats, Sport Chassis, 18” wheels w/Technology Rims, Hi-Fi Sound Package, Porsche Comms Management system, and Supple Leather all around. Exclusive to the Boxster Red Special Leather were Boxster Red Floor Mats, Aluminum Instrument Dials, and a Carbon/Leather Steering Wheel. With over $31,000 in options, the total MSRP for this 996 came out to $98,243 in 1999. This car was delivered to Porsche Exchange in Highland Park, IL in September of 1998. Its first owner purchased it in November of that year. They would go on to lovingly cherish this 996 over the next 14 years, religiously servicing and maintaining it at certified dealerships. It was offered for sale in November of 2012 with 20,967 miles on the odometer and was purchased by a Michigan resident just a month later. Despite only owning the car for five months, it was serviced three times at Shaheen Chevrolet in Lansing, MI, before being sold in June of 2013 with 23,255 miles. The third owner brought the 996 to Maine, where they continued the previous owners’ tradition of enjoying it and servicing it when needed for three years. In November of 2016, at around 34,000 miles, its fourth owner was reported. Based out of New York, they owned the car for a year during which time they refurbished the wheels, replaced the front hood struts, drive belt, water pump, air/oil separator, and programmed a new key. They also installed an LN Engineering dual-row IMS bearing and a replacement clutch before passing it on to another New York resident in November of 2017. Owner number five was the custodian of this low-mileage beauty until around the end of 2019. Under their ownership, the front bumper cover and side skirts were repainted in April of 2019 at Village Auto Body in Greenlawn, NY, and the timing chain tensioner was replaced in December of 2019 at TKX Performance in Huntington Station, NY. They listed the car for sale on Bring a Trailer in January of 2020 with a little under 40,000 miles on the odometer, where it was subsequently purchased by its sixth and most recent owner and brought home to Iowa. A few significant services carried out by this owner included new engine and transmission mounts in June of 2021 from Pelican Parts in Harbor City, CA, a new coolant expansion tank in August of 2021 from K11 Auto Repair in Omaha, NE, new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in March of 2022 from Midwest Tire in Omaha, NE, and mufflers in September of 2023 from K11 Auto Repair. When we received this 996, we entrusted Woodlawn Garage in Philadelphia, PA, with giving this beauty the minor servicing it needed to perform at its fullest. They performed a full oil change, replaced the alternator bracket and accessory belt, replaced one of the horns, and did the overall inspection, state inspection, and emissions. For many years, the 996 platform was unjustly looked down upon when compared to other models of its time, but as of recently, it has begun to find its foothold in the collector market. The factory Aero Kit paired with the Boxster Red Special Leather interior and a plethora of options make this one stand out from its brethren. Showing a little over 42,000 miles and always serviced by its owners with an open checkbook, this is surely one of the most extraordinary examples of the 996 platform on the market. Porsches of this generation can frequently be found with more than double or triple the mileage, indicating the kind of reliability one can get with this level of meticulous care and maintenance. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive all of the original owner’s manuals, toolkit, spare wheel, a copy of the window sticker, service records from 2016-2023, a copy of the CARFAX, and the Porsche Production Specifications certificate. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The factory Artic Silver Metallic paint has an excellent and consistent shine, indicative of a car that has been well cared for and kept out of the elements. The paint is believed to be all original, though the front bumper and side skirts have been resprayed. There are no signs of overspray anywhere, all the decals, stickers, and emblems look excellent and untouched. There are some small imperfections in the paint, as one would expect from a 25-year-old car, but the overall condition is impressive. The panel gaps are consistent, and there is nothing to indicate that the body was ever repaired. Glass And Trim All the windows appear clean and scratch-free, with the proper Porsche markings. There is not much trim on the Porsche 996, and what little there is, is straight, secure, and retains the factory black color. The factory gaskets around the doors, windows, lights, and front trunk are all pliable and fully intact. Again, indicative of a well-cared-for and properly stored vehicle. Wheels The optional 18” two-piece sport classic wheels are straight and free of curb damage or scratches. The center caps look good, and the lug bolts are all stainless steel and in excellent condition. Notable Flaws The passenger side lower aero side skirt is not completely flush with the body, as the plastic has probably shrunk a bit over time. The corner of the engine cover has some slight imperfections that one can see on close examination. There are some other very small imperfections around the vehicle, but one has to look very closely. Overall, the car is in impressive condition and looks like a car with far less mileage than indicated on the odometer. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The Boxster red interior shows well, and the overall condition exemplifies the car’s pampered life. The interior smells of leather and has obviously always been clean and well cared for. The headliner is fully intact, clean, and tight, and the same can be said for the carpets. The door panels, center console, and kick panels are free of noticeable imperfections. The front and rear seat leather is clean and stain-free. The leather has the feel and smell of a higher-quality grain. The seats show no sign of fatigue, though there is some webbing of the leather and some slight wear on the driver’s seat. Overall, the red interior is attractive and in excellent condition, and like the exterior, it presents like a lower mileage example. Functionality And Accessories All the handles, locks, windows, stalks, lights etc. work properly. The HVAC works in all its setting, and the same is true for the stereo. Notable Flaws ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay is original and looks to be unaltered, and well maintained. All the hardware and black plastic is clean and free of imperfections. The decals and stickers under the hood are complete and clear. All the hoses and clamps look correct. Trunk Area The front trunk is clean, and all the carpet pieces are secure and accounted for. The black plastic that covers the battery and cowl are in excellent condition, and there are no missing clips or screws. The original spare tire and tool kit are present and complete. Underside The underside has been dry ice blasted, and everything looks amazing. The suspension pieces and the wheel wells are impressive. Notable Flaws The hardbacks of the sport seats have some minor scuffs, as does some of the black plastic around the driver’s sill. If you look closely at some of the carbon fiber, there are noticeable imperfections. But overall, everything looks, feels, and smells, top-notch. MECHANICALS Engine The motor starts quickly, with the classic Porsche sound, and settles to a steady idle. On the road, it feels and sounds healthy, with plenty of power and a real willingness to rev. There are no odd noises or anything to indicate an issue. Transmission The 6-speed transmission shifts nicely into all the gears, and the clutch grabs properly with a nice and low pedal. Brakes And Suspension The large brakes stop the car quickly and easily, with no pulsating or pulling. The sport suspension is surprisingly compliant but extremely well controlled on windy roads and stable on the highway. There is nothing that feels out of sorts Tires The Michelin Pilot Sports tires have plenty of tread and a 2022 date code. They feel balanced and smooth on the highway. DRIVING EXPERIENCE After spending a few days driving this gem, it is obvious why these cars are gaining such a following. The 996 has enough power to be exciting, but not too much to be ludicrous, plus they are small with excellent visibility. The options on this car make for a more gratifying car behind the wheel, while also improving it visually. The ‘98 and ‘99 996 have a more analog feel than the later cars, and you feel more of the lineage to the 993. The car performed well in traffic, on windy roads, and on the interstate. It was truly a pleasure. 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A UK-supplied, right-hand drive example fitted with the desirable manual gated gearbox. Fresh to market following 15 years spent off the road in professional storage. Inheriting the proportions of its predecessor, the F355 was outwardly a much better resolved proposition, both aesthetically and aerodynamically. However, beneath the fabulous styling and smoother skin were further major advancements, including power steering, variable damping and a 100cc engine enlargement. The longitudinally mounted 3,496cc V8 generated a market-leading 380bhp at a spine-tingling 8,250rpm and the gearbox now had six speeds with a revised synchromesh making gear changes so much smoother. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface and the result of all these developments was evident around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track when the F355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder 512 TR. Sitting on the cusp between analogue and digital the F355 is considered the forerunner of all modern Ferraris and as the last of the hand-built cars before the 360 and later descendants moved to mass production. It will inevitably slip into the role of 'Classic Ferrari' with ease, becoming increasingly sought after now as the market appreciated next year's investment. Classically presented in Rosso Corsa with a Crema interior and red carpets, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive F355 is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and according to its accompanying service book, was delivered via Stratstone, Wilmslow to a Mr Higginson on 4th August 1998. The odometer at the time of cataloguing was showing 36,938 miles and the V5C shows four former keepers. The car has been off the road without an MOT since 2010 kept in professional storage and is therefore fresh to market from long term ownership. In preparation for this sale, in June 2025 over £8,000 was invested into the mechanicals of the car including removing the engine, replacing timing belts, hydraulic tensioners, aux belts, AC belt, spark plugs, ignition leads and oil and fuel filters. In addition to this work the seller tells us that the 355 will be issued with a fresh MOT prior to the auction We very much encourage interested parties to come and see the car in the metal at Silverstone. Cosmetically it is in need of some further love and attention and despite the recent investment, it has been off the road for 15 years so buyers will perhaps need to factor in further recommissioning considering it’s lack of road-use. Guided very competitively, factoring in the above, this is a rare and desirable car that is crying out for its new owner to get it back on the road. A 355 when fully sorted is hugely engaging to drive, particularly when fitted with the manual gearbox, the V8 when on full song sounds like an F1 car and is simply addictive. 1998 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
