A DETROIT DESIGNER’S DREAM To bring us the cars of our dreams, automotive designers cast their gaze into the future, seeking to predict the next big styling trend—or to invent it. It is always interesting, then, to learn what machines these designers choose as their personal vehicles. Henry de Ségur Lauve, born in New Jersey in 1910, spent his formative years in Europe; by the 1930s, he was working in France as a designer and illustrator for the fashion industry. His career trajectory shifted when, in the late 1930s, he was hired by General Motors, reportedly after interviewing with eventual GM head of design Bill Mitchell. Of course, this meant that Lauve would work under design titan Harley Earl in the pivotal years following World War II—an era in which the American automotive industry was at the height of its power and prestige, when style was evolving at a breakneck pace. By the mid-1950s, Lauve was chief designer of GM’s Interior Design Studio. So what did Lauve park in the garage of his Art Deco home in fashionable Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan? The answer was no less than the Fiat 8V Supersonic offered here, one of just 15 to wear this stunning Jet Age bodywork by Giovanni Savonuzzi. Even without a body, the Fiat 8V was a mechanical masterpiece. Dubbed the “biggest surprise of the year” by Road & Track upon its introduction in 1952, the 8V was a shock coming from a company better-known, at least in the post-war era, for its affordable people’s cars. Featuring an advanced overhead-valve light alloy V-8 engine, Siata-fabricated chassis, and four-wheel independent suspension, Fiat always intended the 8V to be a “halo” offering aimed at privateer racers; 8Vs typically wore relatively simple bodywork that fit right in on a racing circuit. Ghia, however, had other visions for this sophisticated chassis, and it is easy to see why Lauve was smitten with Savonuzzi’s glamorous Supersonic: It captured the sky’s-the-limit energy and optimism of the GM concepts with which Lauve worked in his day job, yet it had an exotic flair that no doubt appealed to his Continental sensibilities. After witnessing the debut of Supersonic at the 1953 Paris Auto Show, Lauve quickly determined that he needed one of his own. Correspondence on with Ghia notes that, by November of that year, this very car—wearing a white exterior with a blue interior—was en route to America aboard the SS Constitution. A follow-up letter from Ghia confirmed Lauve’s receipt of the car and designated Paul Farago as Lauve’s point of contact for any future mechanical necessities. Farago was a Detroit-area designer, a mechanic and engineer, a gentleman racer, and also acted as a key go-between for Chrysler and Carrozzeria Ghia during Chrysler’s important Virgil Exner years. He recognized the significance of the Fiat 8V Supersonic and imported an example of his own. A TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPLANT Farago’s assistance would become invaluable in 1954 when, after 9,000 kilometers of driving, Lauve’s 8V developed seemingly insurmountable engine issues. Fascinating correspondence between Lauve and Enrico Minola, a key engineer at Fiat, reveals that the automaker only intended its high-strung, high-maintenance 8V to be used by amateur racing drivers. That Ghia decided to fit a luxurious coupe body to the chassis, and that Lauve had pressed his Supersonic into daily driving duties, was apparently contrary to purpose! Fiat nevertheless agreed to supply a new engine, number 000188, and its ancillary components, on the condition that Mr. Lauve return the original engine, number 000039. Interestingly, that engine was never returned to Fiat and was subsequently fitted to another 8V Supersonic. Although this new engine was dispatched fairly quickly, installation did not go smoothly. A letter on file from September 1956 indicates that the Fiat was still in the shop due in part to a poorly fitting exhaust system. Here, Harley Earl came to the rescue, and helped Lauve source and install (using Chevrolet personnel) a 283-cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8 engine. In a letter dated 17 January 1957, penned while this work was in progress, Earl wrote that “It is a cute little automobile and I would like it to be finished so that you can get a kick out of it.” Later, Earl took a not-so-subtle shot at Fiat’s engineering, writing that “Inasmuch as you have the Corvette engine I do not think you will have the headaches that might go along with the foreign type.” This period, in which Lauve’s little Italian Supersonic sported an American heart, was later recalled by GM designer Robert Cumberford, who enjoyed many memorable high-speed rides in it through the Detroit suburbs. THE LAUVE SUPERSONIC’S NEXT CHAPTERS Engine troubles could not shake Lauve’s love for his Supersonic, and he and his family maintained it faithfully longer than almost any other original 8V owner. During their tenure it was refinished in silver, as featured in Tony Adriaensens’s book Otto Vu. It was finally sold by the Lauves in 1991 and was later owned in 1994 by Erik Nielsen of California. The car was subsequently restored in this rich garnet-over-tan combination, with a correct 8V engine, no. 000060, tucked under the hood. The work was beautifully detailed, with the color showing off the elaborate curves of the body and fabulous touches such as smoked glass sun visors and Borrani chrome wire wheels. Following this restoration, it was displayed at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A decade later, it was exhibited at the 2015 Kuwait Concours d’Elegance. After long-term ownership in a prominent Swiss collection, the Supersonic entered a large private collection in America, where it was displayed alongside two other superlative 8Vs; it was acquired by present ownership in 2020. In 2023, it won the Design Award at the Audrain Newport Concours, having been judged by Chip Foose and designers Mike Simcoe (Cadillac) and Ralph Gillies (Fiat Chrysler/Stellantis). It would certainly be suitable for either enjoying on vintage rallies, such as the California Mille, Colorado Grand, or even the Mille Miglia, but could also be lightly freshened for happy exhibition at further shows and concours. The Fiat 8V was always an exclusive automobile, and by design, they were typically purchased new by interesting individuals who led exciting lives. This is particularly true of the exclusive Ghia-bodied Supersonics. But there is something very special about this 8V Supersonic. Acquired new by a respected GM designer from the Detroit auto industry’s most dynamic era—and backed by a trove of documentation, including correspondence with the legendary Harley Earl—the Henry S. Lauve Supersonic was, is, and will continue to be a design masterwork, worthy of admiration by its fortunate next caretaker. 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

1st series Swiss road registration The Porsche 928 offered here in the special color Light Green Metallic and interior Pasha with brown leather is one of the more desirable from the 1st series with a very low chassis number. Porsche Stuttgart is registered as the first owner and the car was probably used as a demonstration or press car. It comes from the third owner and has been in the last ownership since 1982, a whopping 42 years. The on-board folder with operating instructions, service booklet and emissions maintenance document is present. This Porsche 928 is being sold in as-is condition, ideal as a basis for a project. The Porsche 928 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1977 as “The great new sports car from Porsche”. It is a Gran Turismo with a V8 front engine and rear-wheel drive. The gearbox and differential are located in a common housing on the rear axle (transaxle). The body was designed for lightweight construction in order to keep the weight of the car as low as possible despite the extensive equipment. To this end, the doors, fenders and hood were made of aluminum. The 928 was significantly longer, wider and flatter than the 911 at the time and was Porsche’s top-of-the-range model, which was to replace the 911 in the early 1980s. Delivered from fall 1977, the sports car won many awards at its launch due to its progressive design and equipment. In 1978, it was the first sports car ever to be voted European Car of the Year by an international jury of journalists. 1978 Porsche 928 Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

A Ferrari by Vignale is always a special creation, and this is seldom more true than for the 212 Inter offered here, chassis number 0135/E. The design for the car, with the use of its subtle body curves to delineate two-toning, a glassy and very open roofline with narrow pillars, a shapely rounded tail, and the broad oval grille, is utterly classic and iconic Vignale, instantly recognizable to any student of Italian coachbuilding. Chromed slots in the front fenders and the taillights recessed into the rear fenders were and remain readily identifiable touches of 0135/E, which was finished in an eye-catching color scheme of black and dark red. Completed by the factory at the end of June in 1951, 0135/E was shown that October at the Paris Motor Show, then sold to Milanese racing driver Franco Cornacchia’s dealership, WI.PU.CO. Cornacchia dealt the car to a fellow Milan resident, Paolo Lampugnani. Soon thereafter, the 212 Inter enjoyed its second prominent turn on the worldwide stage with an appearance as the cover car of the February 1952 issue of Road & Track. While the car was photographed with a fake Italian registration plate, TO 18511-I, the shot had been made while the car was in Paris. At some point in the 1950s the car was exported to a sports car-hungry California, and eventually was offered for sale by BMC Motors of Belmont. As Don Wassermann of San Francisco wrote in issue 38 of the Ferrari Club of America’s Prancing Horse in 1974, he saw the car on the lot in 1962, and that “since imported [it] has been locally owned. Took it for a test drive and got a ticket for speeding. Decided not to buy it maybe because of speeding ticket…” It was instead purchased by another gentleman, his identity now forgotten, who drove it with his girlfriend to Kansas. When it broke down there, he attempted to tow it home to California, but it broke loose from the tow vehicle and nosed into a ditch, fortunately only damaging the tips of the front fenders. Nonetheless the car eventually got home to the Golden State and was put into storage. Wassermann finally bought the car out of storage in 1967, and began meticulously restoring it, optimistically saying in his article that he hoped “to have body and chassis reunited…upholstery and wiring [completed]…by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in September 1974.” Unfortunately, that proved a touch optimistic; the restoration extended for nearly 30 years, as life intervened. A well-known specialist in vintage Ferraris acquired 0135/E in the late 1990s, and in 1999 sold the car to the noted tifoso Charles A. “Skeets” Dunn. Following completion of the restoration by John Amette, Mr. Dunn exhibited the car on the West Coast, prominently winning an award in its class at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2003, and the following year returning it to Monterey to receive its Platinum Award at the Ferrari Club of America International Meeting and Concours. Among other achievements, it went on to achieve top honors in the Great Ferrari class at The Quail in 2009. In 2014 this special 212 Inter was acquired for the present owner’s distinguished collection, in which it has now remained for nearly a decade, its restoration well-maintained and still in outstanding condition. Ferrari Classiche noted that the car retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox, though the differential is a replacement unit. The car retains its wonderful original details, captured in its Dunn restoration, including the large Carello 424 headlights and Scintilla marker lights; the dashboard arranged around a large Jaeger Chronoflite; and the steering wheel with its Vignale filigreed spokes and early-style “prancing horse” on the horn button, mounted on a chromed column—a bit of flash for the Paris showgoers, all of which were carefully researched and recreated. Restoration photographs and a brief discussion of authenticity points accompany the car, as does, of course, the Red Book from its Ferrari Classiche Certification and copies of the factory build sheets. A superb example of the Ferrari by Vignale, this 212 Inter boasts wonderful show and magazine feature history, as well as a fine restoration, rich provenance, and Classiche Certification to recommend it to a new caretaker. 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe by Vignale RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

In everyday life we ​​often find that we should recalibrate our quality standards. Especially with vehicles from the 70s, 80s and 90s we are becoming more and more picky and looking for the famous "fly in the ointment". Unfortunately, we are increasingly reaching limits that either the manufacturer in question never reached when assembling the new car, or that the conscientious restorer could not improve despite all his care. This applies to both normal bread-and-butter cars that were never made to meet high standards, but also to luxury brands such as Ferrari, which, due to their intended future use, were notoriously never able to achieve the stoic suitability of a Porsche, BMW or other rivals. When, for example, have you seen a bright red Ferrari with winter tires and skis on the roof - driven boldly - driving up a snowy pass in the Dolomites? Or in a traffic jam during rush hour in the autumn rain? In the vast majority of cases, these thoroughbred Italian sports cars were driven under the very best conditions from the very first kilometer, never on salt roads in winter, never in the stress of everyday life. Most of the time, all inspections were carried out on time, because even in the regulars' table, it was becoming more and more common to hear that, for example, a neglected timing belt could result in a horrendously expensive engine overhaul that would hit any wallet hard. However, since practically all Ferraris from these years had a remarkable market development, these striking representatives of what is probably the world's most famous sports car manufacturer are more often stroked than driven. This may protect them visually, but from a technical point of view, these precious cars are often not doing themselves any favors. In addition to the regular exercise of such hot-blooded cars, regular maintenance is also important so that these automobiles convey to us all what makes them special - tamed racing cars with precision mechanics that are as fascinating as they are delicate, revving multi-cylinder high-performance engines, open gearshifts with gears that click into place like a signal box... You all know what I mean. Ferrari is pure fascination and a purely emotional, irrational matter of the heart. The global fan community is therefore committed to it, cheers for their brand at every Formula 1 race and celebrates every new model that is introduced accordingly. Enough chatting, now to our red, 8-cylinder highlight with a tiny 2000 cc displacement. Maybe we should start with this: Despite - or perhaps because of - the exceptionally well-preserved condition, an incredible € 57,000.00 was invested in this example over the last 11 years so that it would not be exposed when assessed by classicData specialists: result grade 1-, market value € 125,000. The reader should not draw hasty, completely wrong conclusions from this. This is by no means a particularly trouble-prone Monday car, but rather the case of 2 previous owners who wanted to turn one of the best-preserved examples of the 208 GTS turbo into probably the best one available. In our view, they succeeded, even if we don't know all of them on the market. What we can do, however, is to get a precise picture of the vehicle in front of us: the more we deal with this complex sports car, the more we realize that there is simply nothing left to improve on this Ferrari. After all, despite its extremely low total mileage, this vehicle is fast approaching 40 years of age. People tend to use the mileage of such a car as a key parameter of its current condition. In our view, however, the time factor is the far more important point. All of the components that make up such a vehicle are not designed and developed to last for decades. For example, every seal, regardless of material and quality, ages, becomes brittle, hard and therefore leaks. It doesn't matter whether it got old while standing or driving during this aging process. It just gets old... and the same goes for joints, cable sheaths, switches and many other components. Every car manufacturer wants to sell cars, both today and in many decades to come, which is why they build solid (not to be confused with immortal!) cars in the best case scenario, which age over the course of their use and will therefore be replaced at some point. So if a Ferrari is almost 40 years old in front of us, it has basically already had 2-3 car lives behind it. Accordingly, the expectations and demands should be placed on the original abilities - an older gentleman should no longer be forced to perform at his best... 1986 Ferrari 208 GTS Turbo Intercooler DLS Automobile If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

We have Luca Cordero di Montezemolo to thank for the existence of the Ferrari 550 Maranello, arguably among the most beautiful and best-driving modern-era Prancing Horses of them all. You see, in 1996, after 23 years of mid-engined twelve-cylinder flagship Ferraris, he quite rightly pointed out that a front-engined Gran Turismo – built in the same vein as the marque’s greatest 1960s berlinettas such as the 250 and the ‘Daytona’ – would prove more practical for customers looking to actually use their cars. And he was absolutely right. Pininfarina’s Lorenzo Ramaciotti was employed to style the new car. Ferrari encouraged the history-steeped design studio to channel its greatest models of yesteryear. The prominent 250 GT SWB-like bonnet scoop, 275 GTB-inspired gills aft of the front wheels and 365 GTB/4-esque rear end were certainly not implemented by accident. Needless to say, the leather-festooned cabin was similarly sumptuous and well-equipped. “The 480bhp 5.5-litre V12 is nothing short of a masterpiece, delivering unctuous, unwavering power and torque right through the rev range.” As exquisite as the Ferrari 550 Maranello is to look at, it is – amazingly – even better to drive. The taught, dynamic and genuinely exploitable handling defies the size and weight of the car. The open-gate gearbox is every bit as good to operate as you’d imagine. And the 480bhp 5.5-litre V12 is nothing short of a masterpiece, delivering unctuous, unwavering power and torque right through the rev range. Naturally, it sings a very sweet song, too. Chassis no. 113266 The immaculate right-hand-drive Ferrari 550 Maranello presented here – chassis number 113266 – was delivered new to the United Kingdom on 12 September 1998, via the Loughborough Ferrari concessionaire Graypaul. The striking specification was nothing if not bold. Traditional Rosso Corsa paintwork with an interior trimmed entirely in Beige, including the steering wheel, dashboard, A pillars and roof, all of which were optional extras. Darker Castoro carpets and Rosso stitching provide a subtle contrast to the enticing swathe of beige. There are two key strands to this Ferrari’s appeal: the condition and the service history. Both are superb and a testament to the care and diligence of the car’s short list of owners. There are 15 recorded stamps from official Ferrari dealers here in the UK – so many, in fact, that a second Ferrari service book was sourced to log the most recent maintenance. Crucially, the service history authenticates the mere 23,850 miles that show on the car’s odometer. And that mileage is commensurate with the overall condition of chassis 113266, which is nothing short of exceptional. Save for a handful of tiny stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet, the paintwork is flawless. Beneath the bonnet the engine bay is remarkably clean, with all its factory stickers present and intact. Inside, the blemish-free Beige leather upholstery has stood the test of time, retaining that sumptuous gloss. Everything is functional and working, too, including the air-conditioning – essential for those cross-continental road trips nearer the equator. Accompanying this Ferrari is all the factory paraphernalia you’d expect from a car with such provenance: the leather pouch containing the factory manuals, warranty and service booklets, the complete tool kit and the puncture-repair kit. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is also a file comprising a wealth of accompanying invoices and MOT certificates. 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello Girardo & Co.

The Alfa Romeo GT 1600 Junior was introduced in 1972, to plug the gap between the GT 1300 Junior and the larger-engined 2000 GTV. The engine was substantially the same as that of the Giulia Sprint GTV discontinued four years previously, and had the same engine type number. The final drive ratio was again 9/41 as standard on all 105 Series coupés with the 1290 cc and 1570 cc engine. From 1974 on, the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior were rationalised into a common range of models with the 2000 GTV and were rebadged as 1.3 GT Junior and 1.6 GT Junior, sharing most of the interior and exterior features with the larger-engined car. The GT Junior has a tight suspension and weighed in at just 930 kg for the 1.3 variant.Because of this, the car would often go onto three wheels, lifting the inside front wheel off the road when driven enthusiastically. Production ended in 1976-77 and totalled 91,964 units of 1.3 lt. Juniors and 13,120 units of the 1.6 lt. Juniors. According to alfa romeo storico, our car AR 1200153 was produced on September 1966 to the Italian market. It is one of the very first (52eme) GT junior made, delivered in one of the best color combination bluette with ‘lusso’ Rosso amaranto leather interior.

The Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce (also known as 2000 GTV) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider. The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm. The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well. The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features: Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline. Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts. Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet. From 1974 on, the 105 Series coupé models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models. The last GTV model year was 1974 for the USA. This 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 was built on September 16, 1974, and delivered new in Switzerland before being relocated to France. Chassis AR2444390 was acquired in 2021 by marque specialist and current owner Arnage Classic Cars of Chassy, France, who subsequently carried out a two-year refurbishment that was completed in 2023. Work involved fitment of an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors along with a repaint in Rosso Alfa and an interior re-trim in black vinyl. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was overhauled as part of the build and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional Alfaholics modifications include a replacement rear axle and limited-slip differential along with their stainless-steel exhaust system, GTA-R suspension kit, and 15″ GTA-style wheels. The car is further equipped with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors as well as a MOMO steering wheel and overhauled Jaeger instrumentation. This tipo 105.21 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner in the Netherlands with an Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificato di Origine, dynamometer results, and French registration. Finished from the factory in Rosso Alfa, the car was stripped to bare metal and fitted with an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors prior to being repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 2023. Alfaholics GTA-style door handles have also been installed, and further exterior details include Carello headlamps, pop-out rear side windows, and wrap-around bumpers. Imperfections in the finish are shown up-close in the gallery. The 15×7″ Alfaholics GTA-style wheels are mounted with 195/55 Uniroyal RainSport 5 tires, and a matching spare is stored in the trunk compartment. The car was factory equipped with four-wheel disc brakes as well as an independent double-wishbone setup with an anti-roll bar up front paired with a live axle, lower trailing arms, and a reaction trunnion out back. An updated Alfaholics GTA-R suspension with a geometry kit, adjustable dampers, lightweight spring pans and trailing arms, adjustable quick-ratio steering arms, and an aluminum T-bar was added as part of the build. The front bucket seats and contoured rear bench have been fitted with replacement black vinyl upholstery. The dashboard was also refurbished, while the woodgrain trim, headliner, door panels, and carpets were replaced. Additional appointments include a cabin heater as well as retractable front seatbelts and rear lap belts. The leather-wrapped MOMO Prototipo steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation including a 240-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with an inset oil pressure gauge along with gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 38k kilometers (~24k miles), approximately 800 of which are said to have been added since completion of the refurbishment. The instrumentation was overhauled under current ownership, and the seller states that true mileage is unknown. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was rebuilt by Hesshaus Engineering in Germany as part of the project, at which time it was fitted with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors and a Pipercross air cleaner. The engine is further equipped with an Alfaholics 45-amp alternator, gear reduction starter, and aluminum oil catch tank. An Odyssey battery is housed in a black-finished Alfaholics battery tray, and a kill switch has also been added. Dynamometer test results are pictured in the gallery and display a peak output of 181 horsepower and 159 ft-lb of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and an Alfaholics rear axle with a limited-slip differential that was installed during the refurbishment. An Alfaholics stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted at that time. The Certificato di Origine from Alfa Romeo Classiche shows a production date of September 16, 1974, and lists a Swiss market designation as well as the factory colors. 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 - R ARNAGE Classic Car Consulting If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm. The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well. The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features: Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline. Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts. Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet. From 1974 on, the 105 Series coupé models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models. The last GTV model year was 1974 for the USA. This 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 was built on September 16, 1974, and delivered new in Switzerland before being relocated to France. Chassis AR2444390 was acquired in 2021 by marque specialist and current owner Arnage Classic Cars of Chassy, France, who subsequently carried out a two-year refurbishment that was completed in 2023. Work involved fitment of an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors along with a repaint in Rosso Alfa and an interior re-trim in black vinyl. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was overhauled as part of the build and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional Alfaholics modifications include a replacement rear axle and limited-slip differential along with their stainless-steel exhaust system, GTA-R suspension kit, and 15″ GTA-style wheels. The car is further equipped with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors as well as a MOMO steering wheel and overhauled Jaeger instrumentation. This tipo 105.21 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner in the Netherlands with an Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificato di Origine, dynamometer results, and French registration. Finished from the factory in Rosso Alfa, the car was stripped to bare metal and fitted with an Alfaholics carbon-fiber hood, decklid, and doors prior to being repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 2023. Alfaholics GTA-style door handles have also been installed, and further exterior details include Carello headlamps, pop-out rear side windows, and wrap-around bumpers. Imperfections in the finish are shown up-close in the gallery. The 15×7″ Alfaholics GTA-style wheels are mounted with 195/55 Uniroyal RainSport 5 tires, and a matching spare is stored in the trunk compartment. The car was factory equipped with four-wheel disc brakes as well as an independent double-wishbone setup with an anti-roll bar up front paired with a live axle, lower trailing arms, and a reaction trunnion out back. An updated Alfaholics GTA-R suspension with a geometry kit, adjustable dampers, lightweight spring pans and trailing arms, adjustable quick-ratio steering arms, and an aluminum T-bar was added as part of the build. The front bucket seats and contoured rear bench have been fitted with replacement black vinyl upholstery. The dashboard was also refurbished, while the woodgrain trim, headliner, door panels, and carpets were replaced. Additional appointments include a cabin heater as well as retractable front seatbelts and rear lap belts. The leather-wrapped MOMO Prototipo steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation including a 240-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with an inset oil pressure gauge along with gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 38k kilometers (~24k miles), approximately 800 of which are said to have been added since completion of the refurbishment. The instrumentation was overhauled under current ownership, and the seller states that true mileage is unknown. The 2.0L twin-cam inline-four was rebuilt by Hesshaus Engineering in Germany as part of the project, at which time it was fitted with dual Weber 45DCOE carburetors and a Pipercross air cleaner. The engine is further equipped with an Alfaholics 45-amp alternator, gear reduction starter, and aluminum oil catch tank. An Odyssey battery is housed in a black-finished Alfaholics battery tray, and a kill switch has also been added. Dynamometer test results are pictured in the gallery and display a peak output of 181 horsepower and 159 ft-lb of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and an Alfaholics rear axle with a limited-slip differential that was installed during the refurbishment. An Alfaholics stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted at that time. The Certificato di Origine from Alfa Romeo Classiche shows a production date of September 16, 1974, and lists a Swiss market designation as well as the factory colors.

The much sought-after Ferrari 246 Dino GT was named after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo, who died in 1956, aged just 24. Enzo Ferrari credits his son with the inspiration for a series of successful small and medium capacity V6 racing engines built by Ferrari from 1956, and in turn, the name was given to a new line of mid-engined production Ferrari V6 coupés, which first went on sale in 1969. The Dino 246 GT has proved to be one of the most satisfying and successful automobiles built by Ferrari and paved the way for the emerging generation of mid-engined Ferraris. It is widely regarded as one of the best-handling and most gratifying automobiles of the early 70s, it is one of the most attractive, delicately balanced designs ever produced by the masters at Pininfarina. As a result, Dinos have enjoyed a well-deserved recent surge in popularity. The GTS version of the 246 Dino arrived at the Geneva Salon in March 1972, it was built on the series III platform and featured a removable targa roof panel that could be stowed behind the seats. The chassis was also modified with reinforced extra bracing along the sides and front of the engine frame. Aside the targa top visibly the GTS could be identified by the lack of rear three-quarter windows, these being replaced by a bank of three vents carved out from each sail panel. Production of both the GT and GTS came to an end in 1974, just 1274 GTSs were built. This Dino GTS was supplied new in Bianco Polo Park over Blu 135 with Blue Carpets and electric windows. Completed in October 1973, the car was supplied new by Pennine Motors of Harrogate, through the UK market importer, Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. The invoiced price to Pennine Motors in November 1973 was £5,572.95 including delivery, less the dealer's 17.5 % discount. The car was purchased in August 1974 and until 2021, this example resided within the large and significant collection of His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Al Saud, grandson of the founder and first ruler of Saudi Arabia. Understood to have been a gift by his wife, the Dino was purchased in the UK and fitted with a rather fitting cherished registration ‘3 HRH’ which it wore until 1993, leaving the UK in 2007. The Dino would follow the Prince to his Geneva residence, where it would change to a full diplomatic registration mark denoted by the precursory ‘CD’, an abbreviation of ‘Corps Diplomatique’, at the start. In total, this GTS would remain in the care of His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Al Saud for 47 years. Invoices in file document restorative works with Geneva-based Ferrari Modena Motors SA totalling £67,000 in 2009 and more recently, further works carried out by trusted main dealer and notable classic Ferrari specialist, Niki Hasler Ferrari of Basel amounting to a further £80,000. Purchased by a close friend of the Prince in 2021, this wonderful Dino is today offered for sale publicly for the first time since 1974. Presenting today superbly, in its striking original colour combination of Bianco Polo Park over Blu, this Dino GTS, certified as matching numbers and understood to be genuine mileage, is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately. 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS D.K.

The Fiat 124 Abarth Rally was one of the first fruits of Fiat’s 1971 purchase of the legendary firm Abarth, a partnership which would serve the Fiat Group in the World Rally Championship to tremendous effect for many years. Almost as soon as the 124 Spider appeared in 1966, privateers began rallying it in mid-level national events. The acquisition of Abarth gave Fiat the resources to field their own factory team. As part of the deal, Carlo Abarth insisted that the engineering team remain unchanged, which proved to be a critical ingredient to the 124 Abarth Rally’s success. Experienced and talented engineers Ivo Colucci and Stefano Jacoponi collaborated to create the 124 Abarth Rally, which employed the typical go-fast methods to turn the pleasant and enjoyable 124 Spider into something rather spicier. The most significant change was the replacement of the live rear axle with independent rear suspension. The body was also meaningfully lightened with the removal of the bumpers and the fitment of aluminum doors and fiberglass deck lids and hard top. A roll bar was added, as were flared wheel arches to accommodate wider alloy wheels. The engine received twin 44mm Weber carburetors and an Abarth exhaust, while the 5-speed synchronized gearbox and all round disc brakes were retained. Inside the car, the rear seat, center console, and glovebox lid were deleted, a 3-spoke leather rimmed Abarth steering wheel added, and aluminum dash trim replaced the faux wood. The first official outing of the Works Team was on 15th October 1972 at the Rally Portugal with Alcide Paganelli and Ninni Russo, who drove their car to an impressive 5th overall. The initial performance encouraged Fiat to continue its Factory effort and on February 12th, 1973 another Works 124 obtained second place in the Costa Brava Rally with Pinto and Bernacchini. Subsequently, an encouraging 4th place followed in the San Marino Rally with Babasio and Macaluso. The first, important international win arrived on April 14th, 1973 in the Yugoslavia Rally thanks to the all-female team of Tominz and Mamolo. 1974 marked the debut of the iconic "lobster orange" and light green livery and additional integrated headlamps. The season started with a victory of Bisulli-Zanuccoli at the San Marino Rally. In addition to running the European Rally Championship, the 124 Abarth Rally also ran in the big times, the World Rally Championship. It placed second in the final standings every year that it ran (1973-1975), initially behind the Alpine A110 and then of course behind the legendary Lancia Stratos. Even in that exalted company, the 124 managed some impressive wins, including a 1-2-3 finish at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1974! Seeking to polish the image of another of their road-going cars, Fiat replaced the 124 with the 131 for the 1976 WRC season, creating another icon in the process. Chassis 0062626 began its life in 1973 as an Abarth Stradale finished in white (one of just 3 colors offered) and was then later converted to Gr.3 specification, participating in minor competitions. More recently, the car underwent a full Gr.4 preparation with the much desired Colotti gearbox, racing in the 2000 class in few historic rallies including “La Grande Corsa” and “Rally Costa Smeralda” in 2018 conducted by Rocchetto-Paganoni, wearing white paint with GULF light-blue/orange accents. The car is ready to race with FIA historic technical passport and has been exercised regularly. 1974 Fiat 124 Abarth Gr.4 ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

Please note that this lot is sold on a Bill of Sale. The 1970s witnessed all-out domination by BMW in the all-important European Touring Car Championship (ETCC); its 3.0 CSL “Batmobile” secured six Drivers’ and six Manufacturers’ titles in just seven years. However, the transition to Group A regulations in 1982 prompted a switch to the company’s new 3.5-litre 635 CSi model, the homologation of which led tuning specialists Alpina and Schnitzer Motorsport to jointly produce approximately 50 competition chassis between 1983 and 1985. Constructed across two distinct series, chassis E24-RA1-30 was a “late” first-series car initially delivered to Austrian gentleman driver, Karl Oppitzhauser, ahead of the 1984 ETCC season. Having previously raced and hill climbed such unlikely cars as a Lamborghini Miura and a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS—and attempted to qualify a privately-entered March 761 for the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix—Oppitzhauser’s motor racing resumé was certainly nothing if not varied. However, by the late 1970s, he had gained a reputation as a capable Touring Car driver, most notably in the potent Group 5 BMW 320 Turbo with which he competed between 1979 and 1983. Duly prepared by its owner’s eponymous team—and carrying sponsorship from German DIY store chain Bauhaus—E24-RA1-30 made its race debut in the 1984 500 km Monza, in which Oppitzhauser and co-driver Mario Zanuso finished 22nd overall. The car contested a further 10 ETCC rounds over the next three seasons, with Oppitzhauser principally sharing driving duties with fellow Austrian amateur, Georg Pacher. Pitted against works opposition from the likes of the TWR-Jaguar, TWR-Rover, and Eggenberger Volvo teams, their efforts were laudable; 8th place overall in the 1985 500 km Monza and 11th in the same year’s 500 km Salzburgring proving particular highlights. Significantly, former Hesketh Formula 1 driver Divina Galica shared E24-RA1-30 in the 1985 500 km Österreichring—although her race ended in retirement—while in mid-1986 the car was leased or sold to the Bavaria Automobiles team, which duly entered it in that year’s Spa 24 Hours. Driven by former Ligier Formula 1 pilot Francois Hesnault among others, the car failed to qualify for the event, marking the conclusion of its contemporary racing career. Acquired by the respected German race preparation specialist Brunn Racing in 2014, the car subsequently underwent a complete rebuild—albeit with great attention being paid to retaining all major components and the car’s remarkable patina—prior to entering the current ownership in 2017. It later underwent a full engine rebuild at Provence-based race preparation specialist Zig-Zag Motorsport Services in 2019 and is not recorded to have been driven since, with accompanying invoices totalling more than €30,000. Accompanied by four sets of spare wheels and FIA papers issued to the consigning owner, this car could be a highly competitive proposition for the Peter Auto Heritage Touring Cup and Motor Racing Legends Historic Touring Car Challenge, for which it is eligible and ideally suited. 1983 BMW 635 CSi Group A RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The 1970s witnessed all-out domination by BMW in the all-important European Touring Car Championship (ETCC); its 3.0 CSL “Batmobile” secured six Drivers’ and six Manufacturers’ titles in just seven years. However, the transition to Group A regulations in 1982 prompted a switch to the company’s new 3.5-litre 635 CSi model, the homologation of which led tuning specialists Alpina and Schnitzer Motorsport to jointly produce approximately 50 competition chassis between 1983 and 1985. Constructed across two distinct series, chassis E24-RA1-30 was a “late” first-series car initially delivered to Austrian gentleman driver, Karl Oppitzhauser, ahead of the 1984 ETCC season. Having previously raced and hill climbed such unlikely cars as a Lamborghini Miura and a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS—and attempted to qualify a privately-entered March 761 for the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix—Oppitzhauser’s motor racing resumé was certainly nothing if not varied. However, by the late 1970s, he had gained a reputation as a capable Touring Car driver, most notably in the potent Group 5 BMW 320 Turbo with which he competed between 1979 and 1983. Duly prepared by its owner’s eponymous team—and carrying sponsorship from German DIY store chain Bauhaus—E24-RA1-30 made its race debut in the 1984 500 km Monza, in which Oppitzhauser and co-driver Mario Zanuso finished 22nd overall. The car contested a further 10 ETCC rounds over the next three seasons, with Oppitzhauser principally sharing driving duties with fellow Austrian amateur, Georg Pacher. Pitted against works opposition from the likes of the TWR-Jaguar, TWR-Rover, and Eggenberger Volvo teams, their efforts were laudable; 8th place overall in the 1985 500 km Monza and 11th in the same year’s 500 km Salzburgring proving particular highlights. Significantly, former Hesketh Formula 1 driver Divina Galica shared E24-RA1-30 in the 1985 500 km Österreichring—although her race ended in retirement—while in mid-1986 the car was leased or sold to the Bavaria Automobiles team, which duly entered it in that year’s Spa 24 Hours. Driven by former Ligier Formula 1 pilot Francois Hesnault among others, the car failed to qualify for the event, marking the conclusion of its contemporary racing career. Acquired by the respected German race preparation specialist Brunn Racing in 2014, the car subsequently underwent a complete rebuild—albeit with great attention being paid to retaining all major components and the car’s remarkable patina—prior to entering the current ownership in 2017. It later underwent a full engine rebuild at Provence-based race preparation specialist Zig-Zag Motorsport Services in 2019 and is not recorded to have been driven since, with accompanying invoices totalling more than €30,000. Accompanied by four sets of spare wheels and FIA papers issued to the consigning owner, this car could be a highly competitive proposition for the Peter Auto Heritage Touring Cup and Motor Racing Legends Historic Touring Car Challenge, for which it is eligible and ideally suited.
